Holy shit I’m so stupid
What if it’s not shipping heartbreak woo woo stuff between Matt and Jack (although I would greatly appreciate fic links if the match inspired any)
What if the whole thing is Jack just didn’t want to ever fucking go back to Wembley especially the year after all that. And Matt realized yeah he saved Jack physically but he’s agreed to force him in to a match at the place where his whole career shifted. Where he almost lost everything. Where the scape goat was birthed.
And Matt’s gotta understand that I mean who better than Matt to understand (Cept Nick and Kenny) so he’s gotta be looking at this kid whose already been through so much someone they brought into this company and realize he would have rather be lit on fire than have to go back to wembley like fuck!
