Desperate kiss

(Okay, it mentions being on of the Bowery Beauties, but I don't specify if it's a guy or a girl. I'm trying to keep it gender neutral. <3)

The way Jack Kelly looked at you was something else. He always found himself staring at you. He found himself looking at your lips wondering what it would be like to feel them on his. He found himself studying your hands, the way they moved when you spoke. He found himself wanting more from a relationship that was only in his head. It was safe to say Jack Kelly needed you.

Jack didn't understand it at first. He didn't understand why his stomach flipped when you smiled or why his face felt hot when you'd touch his arm. But it dawned on him when he felt his blood run cold as you hugged Crutchie. He knew he was being stupid... you were allowed to care for the other boys, you wouldn't be a good friend if you didn't. However he just wished he could have you all to himself.

Once he heard you singing to yourself... He melted, feeling him physically deflate at the sound of your voice.

"Jack... Jack?" he heard a voice whisper gently. He shook his head, pulling himself from his thoughts.

"Y/N" he said abruptly. You laughed slightly at his reaction.

"You seemed so far away then, are you alright?" you asked him.

"I'm fine" he muttered, swallowing thickly. He felt himself deflate once again as you sat down beside him. Your thigh brushed against his faintly and he had to suppress a groan.

"Anyway, what's up?" he chimed in, breaking the silence.

"I just wanted to know how you're doing, I bet this strike must be really touch on you"

"Yeah, I'll be glad when it's over" he confessed.

"Well, I'll be right here until it is." You spoke with so much love, Jack wanted to kiss you right there and then. You grabbed his hand for comfort. It was innocent, it was kind, but it was enough to make Jack's heart skip a beat. He bit his lip tightly.

"Oh god, look at the time" you called, glancing at the clock on the wall.

"I've got to go, I told Medda I'd fill in as one of the Bowery Beauties" you confessed, pulling away from Jack. He sighed as you took your hand from his. You rushed over to the door and pushed it open.

"Are you coming tonight? It would mean the world if you and the boys came along?"

"Wouldn't miss it"

So, Jack rounded up the boys and dragged them all along to the Irving Hall to watch you perform. And once again Jack could not take his eyes off you as you danced in your flashy costume. Your hips swaying to the burlesque music, a sultry glimmer in your eye and a smile plastered on your face. If he weren't in public Jack would be drooling. Only in his wildest dreams had he pictured you like this. The other boys seemed impressed too; they'd never seen you so confident. But they kept stealing glances at Jack, laughing amongst themselves. The show ended and you bowed to the audience before leaving the stage. You pushed though the crowd, trying to find the boys. As you appeared, they all erupted into cheers, clapping madly. You bowed mockingly, spinning your feathered boa seductively. You couldn't take yourself seriously, bursting into laughter.

"Jack" you called, throwing your arms around him, trapping him in a sweaty hug.

"Wow, Y/N, didn't know you had that in you" he confessed. He was confessing a lot lately.

"Me either" you said with a wink and a giggle. He couldn't take it any longer, he grabbed your waist. The silky fabric of your costume felt warm against his fingertips. He rested his forehead against yours nervously.

"Y/N, can I kiss you..."

"Yes" and before you could even finish getting the word out, his lips were on yours. The kiss was deep and hungry. His tongue slipping past your lips desperately. You tasted so sweet and your hands felt soft against his skin. This was everything he'd ever wanted and more. He felt himself moaning into the kiss, the noise drowned out by the chattering in the theatre. You went for as long as you could before you pulled away breathlessly.

"Wow" he uttered.

"You don't understand how long I've been wanting to do that" he said lovingly. You grabbed his shirt in your fist pulling him in for another kiss.

"Well, I'm glad you did cowboy"
