itsacpsideblog: sleepy-cone: I like to think that Jack is so 110% that he can somewhat tell how Bitty is feeling based on the way his food tastes. -Jack eating his sandwich with Marty, Thirdy or Tater (really anyone that is aware of Jack and Bitty) Jack takes one bite, makes a contemplative face, puts down the sandwhich, takes out his phone and steps into the hallway. He returns 15 mintues later and continues eating as if nothing of significance occured. “What was that about?” “ Something was bothering Bittle so I just wanted to make sure he was ok.” They ponder a moment for it seems whatever the issue, it has been resovled and prying isn’t a good way to talk to Jack. So they drop it and continued with their lunch. This happens every so often and they start to wonder how suddenly in the middle of the day, Jack claims that something is “bothering” Bitty? One day someone decides to finally ask. “If somthing is bothering Bitty why do you wait til you eat half your food before you call him?” “I’m not always completely sure if he’s upset unless i talk to him directly or at least eat his food.” “His food? Like what, it tastes bad?” “No its still delicious, but different somehow. So i just call to check up. Usually its stress from school, so we talk through it and discuss how its going.” “But how can you taste something like that?” And Jack Laurent Zimmermann, as if someone casually asked 1+1? His response accompanied with the slightest shrug: “He’s my boyfriend.” Like what a silly question to ask? Multiple sighs are released and heads hang low. Food is put down as eyes stare blankly at the ceiling. Some even have to leave, overwhelmed by Jack’s insane sincerity. After practice Jack notices quite a few guys on their phones. Not meaning to, Jack passes and overhears variations of “Wondering how your day has been” And “Just thinking about you so I wanted to call and say hi.” He doesn’t think much of it, (since it oblviously has nothing to do with him), and heads home. This post is such a classic and I love it, it makes me smile every time. Especially: overwhelmed by Jack’s insane sincerity. Because that’s so…Jack. Intense, focused, insanely sincere. Not that he can’t ever lie or joke, but he’s so extremely straightforward and un-ironic in what he wants and how he thinks. This is Jack who, when asked what he wanted to buy with his first NHL paycheck said “a truck”. Who thinks that his neon yellow running shoes are ‘neat’. Jack, who told Bitty he loved him after a crazy short amount of time. Jack who is sincerely polite to parents. Jack who says things in mid-game interviews like “well, the boys are all trying really hard out there” and genuinely means it. Jack “110% Zimmermann. Jack “oh boy there ya go” Zimmermann. -- source link
