Hugs him tbh and holds him tightly - she just needs a hug and he happens to be nearby

He doesn’t question her actions and instead places whatever it is he was working on on the table so he can turn around slightly in her hold. Once that’s done, he wraps his arms around her in a tight hug and rubs her back comfortingly.

He understands. Jack understands more than anyone would think he did.

No words are even needed when either of them is like that. They both understand when the other’s feeling down and needs some semblance of affection; something – anything – that can prove that they’re still alive and breathing.

However difficult that may be at times.

But it’s okay, because Jack’s here for her. He always will be and the day he isn’t is the day he’s failed one of his most important friends. The day he’s failed his life. Ana is like… Ana means the world to him, both her and Gabe do.

Jack doesn’t let her go, even after a few minutes. Thinking about the worst things that can happen got him down and now he needs a hug too. Good thing Ana’s here and still in his arms cause he already feels a lot better than he would have.

He’s anxious, they all are. They all have the eyes of a cruel murderer when they’re fighting, pretending they don’t feel a thing when really – when really they feel way too much. They don’t know when the next mission will be, they don’t know when or who the next loss will be.

They’re soldiers not weapons and yet with every passing day Jack feels more and more like a weapon and less like a soldier.

“ ... We’ll be fine, right ? ”

In all the years he’s been alive, Jack swears he’s never heard his voice sound so broken before.

Barges into his office, clearly she is irritated - "Did you move my rifle? Its been tampered with."

“ Ah, yes, because it must have been me who moved your rifle – Ana, you know me. I don’t let anyone touch my gun, nor do I touch Gabe’s shotguns, so what makes you think I’d touch your rifle ? ” He pauses after he growled the words, then sighed and Jack looks apologetic then, he hadn’t meant to snap at her.

“ Look – I’m sorry, I have a lot going on, do you need any help ? ”
