i want to taste you again
Never had Jack considered that he might owe the queen for her kindness tonight on this star-spangled hillside, but the realisation sinks deeply into the places where Safrin had left a void on her departure. Shivering at the blanket that glides over his shoulders and simultaneously trying to focus on the sensation but also to ignore it entirely, the captain settles on counting the seconds between his breaths.
Flora's presence is a warmth that feels like fire, if only because everything else is suddenly so cold, and whilst his ears are still ringing, the blood starting to dry against his neck and in his hair, Jack can hear her words clearly enough. And the thoughts trickling behind them. "Same as everyone," he mumbles, before his voice drops to a whisper, an admission breathed out into the space between them.
"I don't wanna die, Flora."
