| 🔥 the slowburn & sparks meme 💋for flirty, romantic, tension-heavy muses who can’t decide if they want to kiss or combust
In truth. Jack felt fine. But also not like him? But also just like him enough? It made sense. Jack knew he was missing part of himself. His hair had started to dull out with out keeping up with the dye job. Since he bleached his hair, it least kept to a more orange color when it did lose color over time.
The fashion sense he once held had changed as well. His mind...?
There were still the equations and schematics and imagination, though no longer geared towards Jack bots and inventions with the end goal of evil use. But it was there, but the hang-ups, the fogginess. All of that was just gone. Jack, in part, knew it was wrong. This wasn't him. It's why he left, though, because if he stayed, he would go back to who he was before.
Clay seemed happy to just have Jack back, but Jack couldn't help but worry he had changed too much. As if he seemed a million worlds away. Jack hadn't even noticed Clay had joined him in their picked out corner of the current hideout. Seemed Jack had been ignoring Clay; he hadn't meant to. But he blinked once Clay said his name once more, snapping back into his surrounding taking a moment to gather his bearings.
"Wow..I know most of the hideouts can be run down, but even I have to say, Snookums, this one may give me a run for my money when it comes to cleaning things up." Jack stated, but that didn't seem to be what Clay was even close to speaking about. Fixing Jack with a look, Clay never had to really speak with words; his expressions always seemed to do well enough.
"I just.." he starts with, but it was like having a swtiched flipped. Without his bad chi, Jack really couldn't 'feel' negative emotions like he once would. "Nothing's ever wrong...but thats what wrong." He expressed despite how cheery his tone was. Frowning a moment.
"Just am I even still me?" Jack asks, "I just feel like I lost something and I don't even know what it is. But I left because I knew I didn't belong in that world anymore. But felt I belonged with you..I still do but what if I don't as I am now?"
"And If thats ture than how are you going to still want me! i left because the only place I feel that I belong is with you, because feelings have nothing to do with Chi! So mine will be the same!! But what about your feelings~:" Jack had started to ramble, only coming to a stop when Clay held on to his arms. Jack paid a second to look up before he found himself suddenly but gently set on his back. A tingling sensation hit his face as he felt Clay settle between his legs, an all to famialir warmth building between them as he naturally spread his legs.
"Ya heartbeat changed when I touched y'all."
Jack offered a faint laugh, "Well yeah? Course it does still. You have that effect on me." it was an effective way to get him out of his sprialing thoughts as well. As he relaxed and moved his arms around Clay's neck. "but I take it, it's your way of telling no you haven't changed how you feel?" leaning in Jack pressed his ear to Clay's chest and listened to the soft sound. "bum bump bum bump. Still that soft sound."
