You know the kind of person that’s just absolutely head over heels for their significant other? That’s Jack. He has trouble expressing it, but he completely adores you. He thinks you’re his last chance at real love, and he cherishes having this opportunity.

He’s the type that has a little trouble being affectionate to your face with words. He’s more awkward than you might think. His love language is touch and physical presence; if he’s spending time with you, that’s what means the most to him. 

Since he loves touch, you’ll often feel him do small gestures like brushing his hand over yours or sitting as close to you as possible; this is his expression of affection. 

He talks about you to Ana - she’s had to suffer through many “God, he’s so great” rambles.

He thinks that part of why things went so badly before is that he didn’t show the people in his life how much he cared about them as much as he should have, so he makes sure to do things for you at least every once in a while. Just to let you know that you’re loved.

Here’s a self-indulgent one - he clings to things in his sleep. He has his whole life. If you fall asleep after him, you’ll feel him holding you tightly. Unfortunately, he always gets up around dawn, so he’s usually not clinging anymore once you wake up.

Jack still has a lot of nightmares; the most common ones are about the explosion at Zurich or about you dying. If he has one, he’ll wake up crying. Hold him so he remembers that you’re still here, but gently. He’ll be very vulnerable in these moments, so you have to be careful.

Sometimes Jack will have bad days where all he can do is stare at the wall. Ones where his depression and PTSD overpower him. When he’s like that, he’ll appreciate you just being with him. He won’t want to talk about it while it’s happening, so what you can do is be present.

He’s a little shocked that someone as incredible as you is with a sad old man like him, and he’s thankful for it every day.

Also, a suggestive one: you can tell that Jack is feeling frisky when he gets really handsy. He’ll be touching you all over as subtly as possible, putting his arm around your waist, etc. It’s subtle enough that he can get away with it in public, and he relishes that fact, because only you two know what he means. Just to tease you a little.
