“You’re cold,” Katherine replied with a whine as Jack cuddled up next to her. He’d been outside in the cold while Katherine had remained inside, doing some basic maintenance on her ship. “We need a blanket.”

nonverbal meme.

The doors slid open as Katherine walked through. “Oh.” She stopped short when she saw Jack, wrapping a wound. “Hi. Sorry. I’ll go. Unless you need help?” She glanced at the door then back at Jack awkwardly, taking a step to leave.

Send me   ‘ ✋🏻 ‘   for my muse’s reaction to yours running their fingers through mine’s hair from Jack to Katherine

touch my girls hair.

Katherine glanced over at Jack when she felt his hands in her hair. It was a nice little touch. They were always holding hands or standing close to each other, often touching when they were. This was a different, more subtle contact. She liked it. “What was that for?” she asked with a smile.

Katherine didn't even notice what time it was, she'd completely lost track. She sighed, checking the watch she kept with her. "You're probably right," she agreed. "I don't want to go yet."

for @betterto-die-thanto-crawl

Katherine woke with a start, the stinging sensation of electricity still coursing through her veins. Her breath was short and panicked, her eyes adjusting to the darkness as the nightmare faded. She felt the spot where they used the electric prod, wincing slightly at the tender part of her skin. It’d been healing well enough, but it was still soft and delicate. Her body was shaking a little, though she couldn’t entirely tell if it was from the fear from the nightmare or the specific pain that came with recalling the feeling of electricity being sent through her.

She wasn’t going to be able to fall asleep again, she could tell. She slid out of the bed, looking around the room. It was so quiet. Katherine wasn’t used to it. After so much time spent on the run, she was used to the sounds of her ship. And Charlie, cuddled next to her, breathing. Sometimes she was whimpering from pain, or a nightmare she was having, but it was the quiet that was unfamiliar to Katherine. Even in her home before she ran away, it was never perfectly quiet. The sounds of her siblings, servants, droids, all walking around outside her door.

The quiet didn’t last long though. She could hear someone from the next room. Jack. She could tell it was him after only a moment. It wasn’t Charlie, and there was only one other person Katherine was used to hearing in her ship after all this time. She walked out of her room, trying to see in the dimness, following the sound to where Jack slept. She crouched beside his bed, gently shaking him.

“Jack?”

❝Can you help me sit down?❞ for Katherine from Jack

fainting.

Katherine nodded, grabbing one of Jack’s arms to help steady him as she sat him down on a nearby chair. “Are you okay?”

[orchestrahearts]

It had only been a few months since Jack had met Katherine, but goodness knows, he had fallen beyond head over heels, and everyone knew it. With his new side job drawing cartoons for The World, he managed to save up enough to get Katherine a small holiday gift (he knew she celebrated Hanukkah, like Davey) just because he knew he wouldn’t feel right if he didn’t. And so, when he managed to purchase a small, tarnished silver locket from a second-hand store, he felt like he really was the king of New York. 

He wasn’t able to get it to Katherine on Christmas, though, and figured that it didn’t matter all that much since she didn’t celebrate Christmas, but still felt a certain anxiety that drove him to finally go and knock on Pulitzer’s door, hoping to God that it would be Katherine who answered as he fidgeted and shivered in the cold. (from cowboynewsie)

Christmas had gone and gone with about as much fanfare as it did every year in the Pulitzer home: a small, tasteful party with a select group of New York elites, accompanied by a quiet Hanukkah for her father that Katherine joined in.

Katherine heard a knock on the door from where she sat downstairs with a book, setting it down to get the door. She smiled when she saw Jack, what appeared to be a gift in hand. “Come in,” she said, waving him in and stepping aside from the doorway.

Send a 🍵 for my muse to ask yours on a coffee date jack to katherine

get a coffee date.

They’d been spending so much time together it just felt like the right next step. He’d been flirting with her since she first started coming to the campus coffee shop. It was a little exasperating at first. He was just so ridiculous, with all the looks, smug smiles, and pick-up lines. She often found herself rolling her eyes at him. At first she thought he was just another macho guy with the way he acted around her, but at the same time, he was actually quite sweet. He’d given her free extra coffees before, brought her things to eat when she was studying in the cafe, and just generally noticed her when she was doing things for class. And there was no denying he was cute to look at.

She walked up to the register as she usually would when she came for her coffee, but instead she had something else to ask for. “I was just wondering, would you like to get a cup somewhere else sometime?”

@betterto-die-thanto-crawl ❤️’ed — for Charlie

Several weeks had passed since Charlie had told Katherine about the dreams she was having. She was still avoiding Jack everywhere they went, which remained hard, given the tight quarters they shared most of the time. After yet another awkward evening spent stuck in between them, Katherine decided it was time to talk to Charlie.

The door swished open to her quarters, and as she expected, Charlie was inside. “Hey, can we talk?”

“I can’t,” Katherine sighed, leaning against him. “I have writing to do.” She was due at the Sun soon but the bed was so warm. She never wanted to leave. She cuddled up to him, feeling the warmth of him next to her before checking the clock again. “I need to go.”

❛ you think i’m jealous? ❜ Jack to Katherine, about Darcy

questions.

“Could it be more obvious that you are?” Katherine had noticed the way Jack acted when she was spending time with Darcy. Moody and pouty and endlessly annoyed. Katherine couldn’t say that she hadn’t been encouraging it, it was fun to watch him so bothered over her. She’d been cuddling up to him because they both liked the physical contact but seeing Jack jealous was an added bonus.

nonverbal meme.

Katherine winced when she pressed the ice to her cheek. The cold was a shock on her face, but it did numb the bruise that was there. She jumped when she heard the door open, Jack walking in. She quickly let the ice drop. “Do you ever knock?”
