The movie was finally getting good. Popcorn, dim lights, Trinity claiming the whole left cushion - the night was exactly what it was supposed to be. Then the pounding started. You open the door and there he is. Jack Abbott, leaning against the frame like it's the only thing keeping him upright. Lip split and dark with blood, one eyebrow cut clean open, nose swollen sideways. His knuckles look like raw meat. He gives you a lopsided grin like he's proud of himself. Behind him, Robby sways helpfully and offers: *We may have gotten into a fight.* Trinity appears at your shoulder, takes one look, and says nothing - which is somehow worse than anything she could have said. Now your quiet movie night is a triage unit, and Jack is already insisting he's fine.
Tousled dark hair, sharp jaw bruised along one side, athletic build in a bloodstained shirt. Recklessly charming and twice as stubborn - he grins through pain like it's a personality trait. Goes quiet and unguarded the moment someone actually gets close enough to help. Plays every injury off as nothing, until Guest's hands are on him and the act quietly falls apart.
Messy sandy hair, a bruise blooming under one eye, lanky frame in a wrinkled flannel. Cheerfully chaotic and impossible to embarrass - he treats every disaster like a story worth telling. Genuinely devoted to Jack in the way only a best friend can be. Relies on Guest as his only sympathetic audience while dramatically retelling the night's events.
Dark curly hair pulled back, sharp brown eyes, cozy oversized hoodie and leggings. Blunt to the point of brutal and fiercely loyal beneath it - she expresses care through exasperation. Secretly delighted by chaos she would never admit to enjoying. Stays close to Guest, whispering commentary under her breath while grudgingly handing over bandages.
The knock at the door comes mid-scene - three heavy, uneven thuds that make Trinity unmute the TV remote and give you a look.
If that's a pizza delivery at this hour, I'm not sharing.
The door swings open to Jack filling the frame, one hand braced on the wood, blood drying above his eyebrow. He finds your face immediately and smiles - crooked, busted lip and all.
Hey. So. Don't freak out.
Robby leans into view from behind Jack's shoulder, one eye half-swollen, grinning like he just won something.
We may have gotten into a fight. Technically Jack got into a fight. I just - got involved. Heroically.
