Maybe “Guilty”, a scenario where Jackie realized poor JJ is starving after giving his precious big brother his food?
It didn’t take much exertion of Jackie’s enhanced hearing to catch the unhappy growling of Jameson’s stomach. The gentleman immediately turned red, pressing his arm against his middle as if to stifle the noise as Jackie glanced over in surprise. “You okay?”
“Yes, I…I’m fine,” he mumbled queasily. Jackie’s brows knit at his pale complexion and the way he fidgeted, curling in on himself. Just a little while ago, he had said he wasn’t hungry and pawned off his bowl of soup. Why did he look so jittery now?
“Jameson…” he began, concern taking over as he rose from his chair. “Did you get anything else to eat after you gave me the soup?”
“T-There was nothing else. The shopping’s not been done.”
“What? Why didn’t you tell me?! I could’ve run to the store to get something for you and been back by now!” Running a hand through his hair, he stuttered, guilt sinking like a rock in his – full, satisfied – stomach. “Seriously, why didn’t you say something?!”
“I didn’t want to impose or make a fuss,” he protested weakly, wincing as his stomach whined again. “This is your day off work, your day to rest, and you deserved a fine meal to enjoy – ”
“My day off doesn’t mean anything to me if you’re here making yourself sick for my sake! That’s not right!” Grabbing his jacket and the nearest paper and pen, he shoved the latter at him as he wrangled the clothing on. “Write down what you want. Anything. I’m going to get it right now.”
Lil bit of role reversal shenanigans,,,
how about the host/jj?? i used to like that rarepair a lot haha
Seagull added in another ask: I FORGOT TO ADD A WORD ok how about "hold" or "see"
The voice is an underappreciated asset, Jameson believes. He can practically see the sounds dancing on the air on good days, watching the mouths of his loved ones make music. He knows them. Marvin’s voice is grating and jumpy, with a soft musical tone beneath. Jackie’s is loud and brilliant, full of pride and mirth even in defeat or sadness. Henrik’s is just as loud, but with a lilt of hymns, beauty untapped and a voice marred by a long life.
He knows all of their voices like the back of his hands. And he speaks in BSL, so that is quite a recollection! Jameson has always been a bit of an agoraphobe since recuse from the Anti. Hardly leaving the safety of his cosy bedroom, hesitant to leave the comfort of blankets to hide under and a TV and books to entertain his mind.
Henrik knocks on his door. Jameson knows it is his knock, even without looking. Pitter-patter and melodic rather than his other friend’s banging or sharp taps. Jameson whistles twice to let Henrik know he is decent. Henrik comes in with a hesitant smile, sitting on the bed and JJ sets aside his book to free his hands for conversation.
“How are you?” Henrik signs softly. Jameson taps his chest. “Fine.” Casual and quite Pidgin for Henrik’s sake.
“Jameson,” he speaks with an air of caution, his usual lilt gone, replaced with shaky confidence. “Marvin and me were talking. We think you need to leave this room more-” Jameson is already raising his hands to protest, but Henrik waggles his finger scoldingly. “Do not give that sass to me! Look, just... There is a party happening tonight, some friends of Jack’s are visiting from America. You should go.”
Jameson stares pointedly at his hands, unsure of how to respond. Henrik’s words dance around in his head. A party... A party with friends. JJ has never even been to a proper social gathering, let alone a party. He makes a movement with his hands, not a sign, more like a dismissal. Henrik huffs and crosses his arms.
“It is my doctorly prescription that you go.”
You haven’t been a doctor in three years, Jameson thinks, but does not sign, bitterly. “Okay, fine,” he does signs, nodding sharply. “I will go to a party, just tonight. If I can come home whenever I want?”
Henrik nods in agreement, and after a few short words about how pale and sickly Jamie looks, some fussing and tussling, Jameson gets ready. A party. A house party, like real people. Like normal people. Jameson’s chest puffs proudly as he slips on a velvet green vest over his white dress shirt. He is a normal person now. Take that Antisepticeye.
~~
It was a mistake. It was a mistake to come here. People crowd the living room of Jack’s apartment, and they are loud. Loud beyond even Jackie or Henrik’s voice. They yell and run around and he’s pretty sure one of them had a gun two seconds ago. Mark dumped his creations off like a flustered parent leaving their kid at daycare, then he and Jack retreated to a quieter room to catch up and chat business. Jameson is holding a styrofoam cup, swishing around the cream soda nervously.
Brash, harsh notes of sound wave around his eyes, and he can barely flick them around enough to keep up. Someone in a blue shirt is chasing around the one with a mustache, someone who glows with darkness is chatting with Marvin, someone in a doctor’s coat is arguing with Henrik so loudly Jameson feels his eardrums will burst.
In a moment of overstimulation, he drops his cup on the floor, reaching up to cover his ears, shaking his head back and forth. This was a mistake. It was all a mistake. It is too much, it’s all too much! He will never be a normal person, he-
“-will always be the lonely puppet kid in a box, thinks the man.” Someone finishes his thought. Jameson starts so hard that he jumps off the ground and backs up a few steps, slamming against the corner of the wall.
There is a stranger beside him now, standing casually and making no motion despite Jameson’s violent reaction. His eyes are covered with a bandage, clean and obscuring. He wears a thick coat despite the warm autumn night outside. He is smiling with unreadable intent.
“Hello, Jameson Jackson,” the man proposes, holding out his hand. There is dried blood on his coat. Jameson does not shake his hand. The Host puts his hand back down. He tilts his head at Jameson softly, humming.
“When I first saw you across the room, I thought you were that puppet kid. Just a trapped little soul so regressed you barely function.” Jameson goes to protest, but is cut off. “You’re not though. That is not your real story, is it.”
Jameson signs a simple, “What?” hoping the gesture will be understood. It is. The Host smiles and sips cider from his cup.
“You are not Dapper Jack, but you are, if you understand me. You are that same character, but from another story. You write it as you walk, as you talk, as you breathe. The words control you and pull you further from Dapper Jack the longer you remain away from that hell hole.” Jameson shuffles his feet, feeling exposed suddenly despite being against a corner. This man can see... everything. He feels stripped down to his bones, chewed up and spit back out. Yet something about it is... comforting. The Host finishes his drink, crumpling the cup.
“After all, what fun would a character be if he never changes?” Before Jameson can respond, Host turns to him with a wide, wide grin. “You are bones and skin, words and blood.” The Host flicks caked blood off of his coat, then takes Jameson’s hand softly, tracing the lines with almost loving movement. “These are the only words you were gifted with. But in retaliation your mind makes such beautiful music.” The Host brushes Jameson’s curls out of his face, causing the smaller man to blush brilliant pink all the way to his ears and jerk backward in surprise.
“Jameson Jackson is someone very, very interesting, however not too cooperative with your author,” Host chuckles. His voice is warm, musical, like he could never dream of hurting any soul. But Jameson hears behind it, the subtle corruption of cruelty. Yet he doesn’t mind it. There’s such an allure to this stranger, he can’t explain it. His blinfolded eyes peer straight to JJ’s soul and rip him out of himself like pages of a book.
He pulls his hands from Host’s and curls them at his chest for a moment, glad that Host appears to be blind to his blushing.
“Jameson is blushing.”
Dammit.
The Host laughs. Melodical insanity. “You’re rather cute, Dapper Jack. What do you say, am I a sufficient distraction from the party, friend?” Host stresses ‘friend’, seeming to know, to see, more in the words than JJ could ever hope to. Host’s voice floats around him like lazy otters despite his breaking JJ down to his bare character traits and feelings.
“Why do I feel like you are looking through me...” Jameson signs to himself, not expecting an answer from the seemingly blind man.
“Because you all are open books to me, a series of stories and words correlating to action for the sake of a creator’s entertainment.” Jameson blanches softly, looking at Host with wide eyes. “Yes, I know you are signing.”
“Are you... a god? Magician? See all?” Jameson asks bluntly. Melodic insanity rings through the air once again.
“No, no. I simply see the moment, the story as it is being told. I have no control over your life, if that is what you mean.” Jameson blinks, his eyes fluttering. He has no fucking clue what that means, if he’s honest with himself. He lets it go, standing awkwardly in the corner with Host, who is not looking at him, seeming to stare off into the room full of noise and chaos. They sit in their little corner together, silent, listening to the house music, to the arguments and friendly quarrels, to the shadowy being scolding his companions, to Henrik and the other doctor screaming songs drunkenly.
Host sighs suddenly, breaking the silence. “You are so interesting.” He suddenly turns and puts his hand on JJ’s cheek, grinning at him. He runs a hand down his jaw, humming, causing Jameson to go wide-eyed and blush once again, but he doesn’t pull away from him. Blindfolded, bandages eyes bore holes into him, and Jameson trembles, feeling seen, truly seen, for the first time in his life. Just as it is starting to overwhelm him, Host laughs softly, and lets go of him. “Until next time.” Jameson falls back against the wall corner, his eyes fluttering rapidly, his breathing uneven.
He looks with majesty upon The Host, and for a moment can swear that he is blushing as well. But then he is gone into the chaos of the room, as though Jameson blinked him out of existence. Jameson places a hand on his chest, a bit shocked. Melodic insanity floats around him one more time, and in a daze Jameson finds Marvin, tugging their sleeve and asking with shaking hands to go home.
“Ghost,” his hands whisper, pink fading from his cheeks. Marvin fusses, checking him for a fever delirium or overexcitement.
They do go home, slowly and softly walking through Brighton’s streets back to their flat. Jameson’s hands whisper of ghosts and blind eyes peering through him all the walk home, all the night to follow, and all the next morning. The man in the trenchcoat’s laugh seems to sound around him, a hymnal of ghostly words sliding around in his head.
Henrik tells him to forget it. How can he, though? How can you forget what it means to be seen, down to your very soul?
No, Jameson will not forget. His ears and eyes will search forevermore for the soft melody of an all-knowing magician who saw him. Until next time, they whisper, promising and gentle.
Until next time.
Merry Xmas to everyone! ^^🎄

Marvin is sinking.
They float, they spin; wide-eyed they drift within hypnosis so deep it prickles their neurons.
Anti pets their hair, fingers on his other hand picking at the leather straps holding Marvin down. He sighs, wiping blood off of Marvin’s cheek. Lessons need to be learned, kittens need to be trained.
“Learned your lesson, sweetie?” Anti taunts, knowing Marvin is too deep into his own head to say anything but-
“Yes Anti, yes sir, thank you, thank you…” They know by now to always thank their captor for their lessons. Anti softens at their obedience, sighing and running blood covered hands through his hair.
“Good, good pet,” he breathes. He reaches to undo the thick straps holding the cat down by his head, waist, and wrists. Marvin slips off the table and falls to the ground in front of Anti’s feet, bleeding and bruised.
All they did was talk to Jameson. All they did was try to help. But they haven’t been trained. It’s just like the puppet boy said, if you’re not trained you will be punished for talking to the other puppets.
Marvin shudders as prickling, hot hands lift them into their captor’s arms. Marvin doesn’t fight, just curls against Anti’s chest, too foggy-headed to think of anything but how much he loves Anti, how much he loves being a pet.
Anti carries Marvin out of the basement and into their room, sighing as he sets their bloodied body on the bed. He sits beside them, brushing his hand through their hair, their gorgeous green hair, starting to grow out to brown again. Anti shreds his gaze over Marvin’s thin cheeks, shinning starlight eyes, puffy gentle lips, and then the blood and bruises making constellations on their face.
What a perfect pet, what a beautiful puppet ripe for the painting.
Anti stands, leaving the room. As he goes Marvin cries out and reaches their arms toward him. No, no, don’t go, don’t leave me, I love you, I love you, you hurt me when you’re bored, I love you, their brain screams. Their arms flop back to the bed, shaking, staring with enlarged pupils at the little stars painted on the ceiling. This room was made for them. This room was made for someone else. Anti’s Starlight. Anti’s little whore, Anti’s pretty pet. They cry out again, striking their own head and letting tears shake loose.
Anti’s hand falls on their cheek, their eyes meet and suddenly it’s all okay again, suddenly the world is right again.
“Sit up, astral,” Anti coos, and Marvin obeys. Anti holds up a silver box, rather large and shaped like a thick box. They reach for it, making a small, confused grunting sound. Anti shushes, tuts, and sets the box on the bed, opening it up.
Jewels. Jewelry, rings and necklaces and bracelets of all metal and gem types. Marvin stares at it, blinking in confusion. They look up at Anti lovingly through their confusion.
“For you, Starlight,” Anti hums. “To make you glitter like your namesake.”
“For me?” they squeak out, still deep within the rerouting of their brain. They make a chirring purr. They never used to purr. They never used to make noises. Starlight leans against Anti’s chest with a sigh, running their hands over a gold with a aquamarine pendant. “Th…thank you master. Thank you…”
The hypnotism is too strong. They slide against Anti’s chest, nearly falling off the bed if it weren’t for strong, prickling hands pulling him back to his chest, shushing him. “You’re mine. My good little Starling. My sweet one. No more fighting or braying from you, hm?” Anti tugs their hair roughly. “No more bitching or freak outs, right, pet?”
Marvin nods. Starlight nods, pressed against their captor’s chest. They close their eyes, the glowing stars on the ceiling echoing behind their eyes. Stars and starlight are all that is left for Marvin the Magnificent.
Summary: More often than not, Jameson forgets his nightmares as soon as he wakes up, which allows him to easily fall asleep again. Then there are the other nights, the worse nights. Tonight is one of those.

Slow breaths.
He kept his eyes shut tight. His chest rose and fell slowly. His breathing sounded too loud, no matter how much he tried to quiet it.
Stay quiet.
His heartbeat thundered in his ears.
Bum bum, bum bum, bum bum.
Too loud. Too loud!
“Wh̶e͝r̛e͘ ar͜e y͟o͠u̶…͟”
He squeezed his eyes shut tighter and tried to keep his breathing steady. His heartbeat sped up, making his task near impossible.
Bum bum bumbum bumbumbumbumbumbum
Do ̷y̷o͢u̴ t͡hi̴nk t͝ḩere'͞s̢ an̨y̶ poi͝nt҉ ̸i͞n hįding͏?̕”
Slow breaths. Stay quiet. Slow breaths, stay quiet.
“I̡'̕m g͢oi͘n҉g̡ t̡ǫ ͜f̶i͠nd you͠.”
Playful. That’s what that tone was. This was a game.
Slow breaths, stay quiet.
“I ̀c͏a̴n̡ s̛eńse҉ y͏o͠ur͠ f̶eaŗ.”
Slow breaths stay quiet.
“I ̷c̀an̡ ̢ḩea͡r y̨o̸ur ra͠cin̡g he̷a̢r̴tb͘ęa͡t͘.̷”

Slowbreathsstayquiet.
“Y͡o̕ư'̧r̶e ͏sơ ba͢d͝ at t҉h̡i͘s ̸ga̡m҉e̷.”
The door burst open. He opened his mouth to scream, but no sound came out. No sound ever came out.
Yet he still hadn’t been quiet enough.
(Well, I tried to write a fic. Easing back into it.)
