Gray listens, absolutely spellbound. By the time Javic is done, his eyes are bright with tears, but there’s a soft, radiant smile on his face.
It hurts, it’ll always hurt to know there was no hope of saving him, in any world. Gray only had three days, and one night in his bed, but Gray had loved him—and had failed him in every way that mattered. Still, knowing his big brother would have tried, that even in another reality, Jack found a place to accept that piece of himself even if only for a moment…
It feels like getting a tiny piece of his soul back, knowing that. Knowing even in another world, Javic was looking out for the things Gray loved.
Moving over to Javic’s side, Gray slings an arm around his neck and pulls him in to kiss the side of his head with a watery grin.
“Thank you for giving him that.” He replies softly. “I know it wasn’t my Jack…but it means everything to me.”
