#i add that tag as if the 'hc' part in each sentence wasn't added for dramatic effect

hc that s1 jon barely takes care of himself. hc that everyone at the archives knows because any time he leaves his office he looks utterly exhausted, but nobody does anything. hc that once martin learns about jon's lack of eating he begins giving jon crackers or cookies along with his tea, just in case he'd eat them. hc that at first jon ignores them because he knows what martin is doing but eventually does start to eat them. hc that the first day martin saw jon bring an empty plate to the staff's lounge he told jon that he's proud of him and jon simply rolls his eyes and goes back to his office. hc that jon begins always eating the small snacks martin brings him and, though he'd never admit it, he looks forward to when martin would bring everyone tea because then he'd get something to eat. hc that martin began checking up on jon as he worked. hc that one day martin walked by jon's door and saw through the window in his door him pacing back and forth with a slightly crushed paper in his hands. hc that martin knocks on his door and when he does jon's head snaps up to the window in shock before realizing it was martin and relaxing. hc that jon had barely slept at all the night before that day and had gotten particularly stressed over a statement, and in response martin brings a blanket that he keeps in his office and tells jon to take a nap on the couch in jons office. hc that jon refused but once martin left he decided to at least try, and he laid down on the couch with martins blanket and fell asleep before he realized. hc that when martin comes around that day to bring jon his afternoon tea jon is still asleep so he shakes him awake and tells him that he's brought his tea and snacks and the still very tired jon smiled at him in a way that martin hadn't seen before. hc that, even when they are together, jon still denies that he ever did such a thing, but martin knew and he remembered. hc that it became a quiet habit that martin had gained, checking in on jon everyday, something that none of the other coworkers were aware of. hc that jon didn't like the way martin would take care of him constantly at first but he grew to enjoy it more than he'd admit. hc that one day jon came to work sick and martin had spent all morning convincing him to go home until jon caved in and left. hc that during martins lunch break that day he had visited jon at his house to make sure he was okay and not working while he was sick. hc that jon was reading through statements when martin had come in so martin snatched the papers he was holding and insisted that he rest, which jon denied but quickly changed his mind and listened once he felt his headache grow worse. hc that martin had made jon tea at his house and gave him the usual snacks he'd give jon at the archives along with soup he had found and heated up. hc that jon never forgot that day or any other days that martin had helped him, and felt strange about it in a way he couldn't pinpoint at the time. hc that in the future martin teased him for not realizing he was in love despite how obvious it was. hc that when martin was living in the archives, he would help martin just like martin had for jon. hc that one day he had brought him the blanket that martin had gifted him many months ago, to which martin responded by hugging him close, much to jon's shock. he didn't mind that much though.
