"You know I love it." He laughed, but it was true. He love all of Jack though.
Thomas took a little breath in then smiled. "I know." He didn't want to worry Jack, getting sentimental like that. He didn't talk about it much any more. He'd gone over it enough with countless medical people over the time since. Then he'd told Jack and that felt like it. Something felt different telling Jack, like it was done, a chapter in his life that wasn't going to be revisited. He let himself be vulnerable with Jack in a way he'd never done before. He still had bad days but they were never that bad any more with Jack and they were definitely less frequent.
"Other people said that to me, but it didn't feel real. It always does when you say it." His hands moved to hold Jack's face. Staring back at Jack... he loved Jack's eyes.
