I Never Forgot 3
What if you were one of the few people who remembered vividly about Sunny Day Jack... even after the whole show seemed to have been forgotten?

You let out a sigh as you sat on your couch, exhausted from work. Carol, one of your co workers, had something come up today so you had to cover for her. Plus, summer was one of the busiest seasons for Popov's Big Top Yogurt-Topia. It wouldn't have been so bad if the workplace wasn't understaffed. The past several months, however, have been... manageable. Getting adjusted to Jack living with you not only wore you out but also trying to appear normal in public when he would try to talk to you. That, and you couldn't deny that you were developing feelings for him. Feelings from your childhood was surfacing day by day. As a child, you had developed a crush on Jack before you even knew what a crush actually was. In your eyes, he was... perfect.
"Sunshine?"
Jack's voice startled you from your thoughts, making you jump a little. You placed a palm over your heart. "Geez, Jack, you startled me."
"Aw, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"It's fine. Just..." You could feel your cheeks grow hot. You had to think of something to say to distract you from your thoughts. "It's just been one of those days."
"Do you wanna cuddle?"
"Mhmm." Considering the day you had, a nice hug or cuddle from him sounded nice. He sat beside you, then he pulled you into his side and wrapped his arm around you, being gentle as to not squish you.
"There, how's that? Feels good?"
"Yeah."
He softly chuckled as he rubbed a hand up and down your arm. "You've been working hard. You deserve to take it easy, y/n." He says. He had watched you work your job, trying to stay professional while tending to the customer's wants. Jack was right. You deserved a break... a rest. Good thing it was your day off tomorrow.
You let your body fall into him, using him to support your tired and achy body.
"You're an amazing person, you know that, right?"
You looked up at him. "Hm?"
"You're amazing... and kind... and wonderful. You're... well, YOU. And other people just don't see that because they are too busy worrying about their own lives to actually acknowledge or appreciate you." He paused. "And that makes you feel like you're forgotten and alone in the world..."
You gave a nod. You did think that way and felt that way sometimes. You were amazed at how Jack seemed to know what to say, or what you were thinking...
"Mhmm."
"No matter what, know that you're not alone. You've got me, and I'll always be there for you."
He wrapped another arm around you, pulling you so close to him, your head laid on his chest. Silence was all that filled the room. You didn't feel like turning on the TV right now. Just being in Jack's embrace and hearing his soft breathing was enough right now. However Jack finally broke the silence.
"Y/n?"
"Yes?"
"Don't forget me..."
He looked at you, a sad smile on his face. He seemed to think a bit about what he wanted to say. "I want you to know that... I'll never ever forget you. I promise. And I want you to promise me the same in return."
You softly smiled at him. "I never forgot you all this time ... I'll never forget you." You saw his eyes brighten and feel his arms tighten around you. Your heart started to race. The way he was looking at you made your stomach fill with butterflies, and your chest with warm and fuzzy feelings.
"Say, Sunspot. Since you've worked hard this week, how about I spoil you tonight?"
The great big smile on his face and his dazzling eyes made you smile, as well. That... did sound nice. You never really splurged on yourself, or anything like that.
"What did you have in mind?"
"I'll do whatever you want me to. I just want to help you relax."
Hmmm....
"A massage sounds nice..."
"Alright, then. Anything else?"
"I'lllll.... let you know." You small smiled. He just chuckled and gently squeezed your shoulder.
This final part has been a pain to write (you probably can tell). However, I plan to write short oneshot/drabbles with Sunny Day Jack and other characters in SWWSDJ when things in life settle down. ☁️🌈☀️

it's always funny to me when people blame jack's insanity and genocidal tendencies solely on lilith and moxxi's so-called "betrayal" and at this point i'm convinced that they played some different game because:
lilith and moxxi literally saw him kill innocent scientists only because he thought they may betray him, but there was no solid evidence for that. and even if there actually was a traitor among them, jack could've simply put them in some sort of jail or just deal with them quietly. but no. instead he decided to make a whole show out of killing them in one of the most cruel ways possible, while gathering all of his allies around. because his goal wasn't to just get rid of someone you can't trust - he wanted lilith, moxxi and roland to see what will happen to them if they dare to disobey him
after he killed the meriff he thought that it was - quote-unquote - "invigorating". killing scientists also "felt good". normal person behavior btw
he never cared about felicity. he doesn't feel any remorse or guilt after killing her, even though she was helping him this entire time. and correct if i'm wrong, but while he did need an army to take helios back, he, in the end, never actually used it. the loaders in bl:tps couldn't do much - we had to manually turn them into the loaders who can shoot or blow up stuff. and it was after we already got on helios. so basically, there was no rush to make a constructor out of felicity and consequently kill her in the process
by the time of the events of bl:tps he has already destroyed moxxi's underdome like she said in one of the side quests in bl2 (nevertheless, she still agreed to help him). and before you say anything about how he couldn't actually do that and it's a retcon because he was a low-level programmer may i remind you that he had the money to make a goddamn body double for himself. he had a fancy office. he had a chamber for angel's containment. and i think it's pretty believable that a person with that much money is capable of doing that
and yes, angel. while lilith and roland didn't know about that at the time, he has already enslaved his own daughter many years ago and used her to manipulate them into finding the vault for him in bl1. and he had the resources to keep her in her place, too
so, of course, when they saw the eye of the destroyer they knew what was going on. imagine somehow killing a monster that took down armies just to see its' eye being used by some big fucking corporation for god knows what years later
now, to the fun part - the betrayal. let's just say that moxxi’s good at reading people - she wasn’t wrong when she called jack a «power-hungry psychopath» and said that «a lot of decent people will live to regret it if you come down from helios alive» as we will see in the future events. she and others saw jack's true colors shine through during their little quest to save the moon and it was the only logical conclusion. she was fucking right
moxxi specifically asked jack to be at the eye of helios because she planned to kill him (and, well, people who agreed to work for him) and him (and his team) only. moreover, the station was already under attack by the lost legion by quite some time. so there was literally no possibility that it would've impacted any innocents (so idk from where some people got the idea that they killed "millions of innocent hyperions" - that's just called making shit up)
jack, on the other hand, didn't know how much of an impact that caused. however, he isn’t sad about the possible death of people that singularity might have caused (again, it could, but it didn’t - still, Jack doesn’t give a fuck). he isn’t even worried about his own team. all he cares about is that he lost a very valuable and deadly weapon because of «the things he could have done with it» - and it’s pretty obvious what exactly can you do with this sort of weapon. it wasn't just standing there to look pretty you know
also, while we’re at it, you can even argue how this whole “saving the moon and its’ people” thing might have been just a cover up for a real reason – that is, get this very dangerous weapon back under his control. but that's just a speculation based on some of the in-game things i've noticed, so let's not dwell on it
finally, i never really got why people are so mad at lilith for punching jack - she literally admits that she should’ve just killed him instead, as, in the end, it costed her a lot of people’s lives and, more specifically, roland’s life. she feels extremely guilty. she knows that she fucked up. her main mistake, however, wasn't that she "betrayed" jack - her main mistake was leaving him to die instead of finishing a job and thinking that he can actually be trustworthy
