It’s a thing now. Davey doing his hair. It’s not bad – honestly, it’s heaven, because Davey’s fingers are long and gentle and kind as they ease out the tangles from his curls, and his thighs are hooked over each one of Jack’s shoulders, creamy skin just barely hidden by his sleep shorts pressing close to his jaw like a dream – but it’s also hell, because Davey (as usual) insists on talking all the while, which means Jack has to pretend he’s paying attention and not thinking about turning exactly one-eighty degrees and doing some very, very bad things to those aforementioned thighs.
“Too tight?” Davey asks, giving the braid he’s finished a questioning tug – Jack has to bite his tongue to keep himself from saying anything embarrassing.
“Nah,” he smiles gently. It’s a gargantuan effort just to say the word, but it fools Davey well enough.
“Chin up,” he says softly, pressing his fingertips to Jack’s jaw and pushing it just a scootch higher – that’s exactly the phrase Davey would use, just a scootch. God, Jack could cry. “There we are – perfect.”
“All you, man,” Jack chuckles – he’s not entirely aware of what he’s saying, he just needs to say something that’ll keep him from buzzing over how Davey says the word ‘perfect’, the soft ‘p’ that bursts from his lips, the light smacking sound of the ‘c’ against his soft palate, the echo of his tongue on the back of his teeth as he rounds out the ‘t’, all of it directed at Jack of all people. “Fuckin’ hate doin’ this part by myself.”
The nape of his neck prickles under Davey's scrutinizing stare.
"Your wrists acting up again?"
"I don't have carpal tunnel and I'll fight you."
(Jack would be proud of the way Davey laughs at that, if he didn't tug on Jack's hair again - just to be playful, of course, but Jesus fucking Christ-)
"S'just boring is all." Jack mutters, hoping his voice stays even. "I try watching shit while I do it, but I just get distracted."
"Ah, so it's your goldfish attention span that's the problem. Gotcha."
He can hear the little smirk wrapped around Davey's words.
“Like you can talk!" He scoffs - he almost leans back to look at him properly, but then the soft of Davey's inner thigh brushes against his cheek, and he has to weld all his bones into place to keep himself from doing anything stupid.
"You think I don't see you Wiki-spiralling under your sheets at four AM?" He manages to utter once he gets his voice back. "Fucking obnoxious, Jacobs, I swear, I think I'd actually prefer it if you were looking up weird shit, but no, it's always military dolphins, or the history of Velcro, or-"
There's a pressure against his scalp and a writer's callus against his jaw as Davey levers his head back into place, cutting him off entirely with a small, strangled breath.
“Chin down," Davey says softly, pretending to chide, but Jack knows he's smiling, the little shit.
God, he needs to start going to church. Or see a therapist, or - fuck, live on cornflakes or something. It's the only way he's getting through this year alive.

You cannot convince me that Jamie Tartt does not have like a standing spray, tan appointment or like uses self tanner lotion. He is 100% the kind of guy that would do that.
Phil was soooo spray tanned in s3 so absolutely I agree lol 😭
Given that Jamie canonically gets his eyebrows threaded and his chest waxed, I feel like he probably does a lot of other self-maintenence stuff too. I think he probably gets regular manicures/pedicures (usually without polish, but with clear polish if he's feeling pretty), fake tans, and occasionally gets facials done. Vanity will always win over toxic masculinity for Jamie Tartt. It's more important to look sexy than to "be a man" any day

Pantalone and Dottore buzzing in my brain. Being in a poly relationship with them but they’re both so possessive of you in they’re own ways they can barely stand seeing the other with you.
Like Pantalone always pampering you and giving you gifts to show he can treat you far better than that doctor and Dottore making you little trinkets out of scrap metal (it’s endearing if nothing else) and always clinging to you, kissing your cheeks, giving you as much physical attention as he can (they both do this but Dottore would be much more public about it methinks, also Pantalone getting fussy cause he like gets you on an amazing skin care routine and Dottore has a gall to blemish your perfect skin by biting you, drives him up the wall)
Eventually from your pushing they learn to share you (maybe even tolerate each other to the point they can begrudgingly say they’re boyfriends) and just join together in their possessiveness😭
They get all fussy if you even look at another person for too long and will drag you away or cling to you to try and scare the other person away. It’s never your fault! No, no, it’s always the annoyance. How dare someone even try to take your attention, let alone speak to you when the two are around. Oughh if another harbinger grabs your attention they will not be afraid to get snappy with them, even if they’re higher ranking.
In conclusion i want to kiss them both on the cheeks [📺]
📺 ANON I'M LITERALLY TURNING INTO JELLY AHHHH I CAN'T DO THIS FLUFF TODAYYY 😭❤️❤️❤️ But omg REAL. REAL!!! All the Harbingers are possessive in their own way but these two? They're something else. Dottore for... obvious reasons and Pantalone is kinda self-explanatory too, I mean you are his most beloved treasure, it's only natural he wants you to be with only him! Especially not with the Doctor of all people. Of course the feeling is mutual, Dottore can't see anything beneficial you'd gain from hanging out with that damn banker, you should just stay in his lab and keep him company! So there is always some... not-so-hidden competition between the two. Trying to one-up the other and get you to agree with them. You've seen it all, you know all of their tactics, you aren't phased much anymore when they come up with a new scheme to get your attention and win you over. Though... you aren't complaining! It's still lovely to be the object of affection for these two men, you just wish... they would get along better. It gets awkward when they're both cuddling you and then they start making passive-aggressive comments to each other...
oh MY GOSH PANTALONE GETTING US A SKIN CARE ROUTINE AND DOTTORE RUINING IT IS MY NEW FAVORITE HC AWWW I'm chuckling way too hard at that 😭 why is it canon. Dottore does it because he loves to bite you, but it's an added perk when he sees how threateningly hard Pantalone is smiling at him. Look no matter what he does, Dottore's still biting you. Even if he cuts funding. Though please convince Pantalone that it's okay and that you don't mind the bites before the lab goes bankrupt. You're literally the peacemaker for them 😓 Omgefkfwnew now I can't get out of my mind soft moments with Pantalone doing skincare stuff together, he would be so gentle helping you apply it and all,, hng (Dottore isn't invited, Pantalone insists he can't appreciate this and for once you agree.)
HAHAHA SO TRUE getting to your breaking point because your boyfriends can't get along, you love them dearly but you cannot go another day with another passive-aggressive comment to each other. So you just leave for a bit. The only note you leave is that by the time you come back, they better be more civil towards each other. The two men are dead silent when they read that and think you just went out for a few hours perhaps but nope. You went out on a whole mission for a week or two. And they had absolutely no clue, which is a huge feat in itself... and who did you go with. Childe. Tartaglia. Oh my God they collectively agree to rip him to shreds when you get back. At least they can bond over hurting people. Mhm, having one scary dog Harbinger is already frightening, but two? Nightmare fuel for the average person. And them blaming the other person is so in character 😭 Nope, their beloved could never do anything wrong ❤️ But don't worry, you needn't worry about anyone else! All your love and affection, your smiles and laughs, should be reserved for them only. No one else should be able to bask in such things.
They both deserve kisses all over their cheeks, 100%. And also kiss them both on the lips to get them to stop arguing. But also do it quickly because if you kiss one for too long, the other will get irritated. Mhm, but then they collectively decide you haven't kissed them long enough so then you all are just kissing each other for an extended period of time. Good stuff.
