Gone Is the Emptiness

REQUEST: from @lokigoddess

Hey! Can you do one where you are a die-hard fan of James Norton (Andrei in War and Peace) and when Jack finds out about your love for him he arranges a meeting with James and you like… almost die? Little bit of jealous Jack, please! A/N: I’m not overly happy with what I wrote because I couldn’t get it to flow properly, and I kept re-writing bits until I had to force myself to leave it alone. I hope it was okay for you though because I love Jack & James. Although the female lead is a bit of a muppet. Title: Incomplete by James Bay My Jack playlist can be found on Spotify (this is what I listen to when I write about him and songs that are featured in fics about him) (x)

Jack rued the day he allowed his long-standing girlfriend anywhere near James Norton and his ridiculously attractive face, charming charisma and gentlemanly ways. He’d been sulking since the day she’d mentioned her incy-wincy-teeny-tiny infatuation with the English actor and he really ought to have known better about introducing them at their London wrap party for War & Peace. But he loved her and who was he to stand in the way of her meeting someone she adored? As soon as she caught sight of James in the venue, the girl had turned to mush. His jaw was so angular, his frame so tall and his presence seemed so welcoming that she had to grab hold of Jack’s arm to steady her.

Jack’s head whipped round to face her as he grabbed his drink from the bar top, confused and concerned by what had his partner gripping his forearm so tightly, “What? What happened?” Her eyes were wide and mouth slightly agape, “That’s James Bloody Norton.” Jack caught sight of her eyeline and huffed, “Pretty sure it’s just James Norton.” She looked at the Scot and rolled her eyes, not interested in his humour at present, too busy internally, and externally, fangirling over someone who wasn’t her boyfriend. Perhaps she ought to have felt a little guilty about that. “Sweetheart, I know you think you’re really funny, and that you’re endearing as fuck, but sometimes you’re really not,” she rolled her eyes and patted his shoulder, taking a sip of her drink for something to do. He snorted into his drink but abruptly stopped as she continued to speak, “God he’s so pretty,” the woman whined, swooning as she watched him move between different members of the cast and crew, “I can’t cope knowing he’s that talented and attractive all in one.” Jack looked perplexed and frowned, his brows furrowing and his mouth opening and closing, “And what am I? Bloody chopped liver?” “Stop trying to be cute,” his lips childishly pouted as he mumbled into his glass, thought I was cute actually, or so you used to say. Jack grabbed Jessie as she was headed towards the bar, hugging his onscreen lover and left his girlfriend in a world of her own. He may have also childishly left out that Jessie and James had recently started dating, so he hoped that Y/N would stay quiet about her ridiculous crush to avoid any embarrassment for the three of them. “James! Come and join us,” the woman called out, piquing the interest of Y/N who paled at the man turning and smiling with a wave, excusing himself from the crew he was conversing with and heading in their direction. She couldn’t resist smacking Jack’s arm as she saw the smirk spreading across his face, his arm wrapped tightly around her waist and his fingers dug into her hip, “Ouch, watch it,” she hissed. “Jack, mate, so good to see you,” James smiled, pulling Jack in for a hug before stepping back, eyes sweeping over Y/N, “and who might this be?” “James, Jessie, this is Y/N, my sometimes nice girlfriend.” “He’s wretched, ignore him,” the other actors laughed, the Scot secretly pinched her hip causing her to let out a small yelp and he smirked more at her annoyed glare. “It’s so nice to finally meet you, this one here wouldn’t stop talking about you,” Jessie smiled fondly at the pair and Y/N felt her heart swell a little because no matter what, she did really love Jack. But inside she was still hyperventilating over James flippin’ Norton standing right in front of her. All those hours of bingeing on Grantchester & Happy Valley could not have prepared her for this. And no, she absolutely would not faint or do something as equally as mortifying. At least she hoped she wouldn’t.

She lapped up every word that James spoke, enamoured by the way he could seem so awkward one minute, but also hold the attention of so many people as they all gathered round the group to join in. Jack kept interjecting into James’ set stories and everyone was in fits of laughter, the pair bounced off one another and her smile was positively beaming. “Okay, but really you should have introduced us sooner because he’s just a lush guy,” she whispered, leaning into Jack’s side, eyes still on the other man. ‘Really? I’m your boyfriend and you’re talking about how good looking he is? Are you kidding me?” his face was a picture of hilarity; his lips had turned themselves into a dramatic pout and her face cracked as she put a hand over his face and playfully pushed him away to shush him so she could listen to James. “A don’t know why I put up with you.” “Because I’m a swell woman and you’d be lost without me, now be quiet and look pretty,” she squeezed his hand for good measure, trying to reassure him that she was just teasing.

As the night progressed she noticed the light dimming in her boyfriend, his humour had waned, his grip was either too tight or too loose on her, and he seemed less like himself than she’d seen him in quite some time. “Babe, is everything okay?” Jack sighed, finishing the rest of his drink before setting the glass on the bar, his fingers plucking at the loose thread on the belt lop of his jeans, “Not too sure really, feel like I should probably leave you to it and go home now.” Y/N looked taken aback at his words, confused by his change in attitude before her brain slowly caught up and suddenly she was all too aware, “Please tell me you’re not honestly feeling insecure and jealous right now?” “Tell me how you’d feel if I started talking about another girl like you were talking about him. Of course I feel a bit insecure now.” There was no venom or anger, he sounded more defeated and like a lost boy, so much younger than his twenty-seven years. Her heart dropped and she felt terrible, she hadn’t anticipated Jack would take it so seriously. She cupped his face in her hands and all but forced him to meet her eyes, “I’m so sorry, you know I was just being silly, yeah?” “Were you though?” the doubt in his voice and on his face had her reacting more tenderly, she’d never seen Jack so down before, at least not because of her. “Of course I was you big goof. I love you and I’m not going anywhere. ‘sides, you’re the most handsome and talented man I’ve ever met, not him. You’re my biggest crush.” He let out a small breathy laugh, his smile widening showing her his little cute teeth that she adored so much, “and you’re ridiculous and cheesy.” She was determined to never let him doubt their relationship, or himself, ever again. She didn’t realise how much she’d upset him, all over a stupid actor crush on one of his co-stars. “But we make a good team, yeah?” “Just us two?” “Just us.”
