[ his hand slips free, and a little piece of jack's heart breaks. murphy's in so much pain, and he's so goddamn terrified, and jack has steamrolled right over it in his own panicked, selfish need to protect someone else once murphy wasn't in immediate danger of death or dismemberment. more than that, someone who didn't even want protecting. and someone he'd failed just as well as he did murphy, regardless.
so, for nothing, essentially. he made murphy feel like shit for absolutely nothing.
watching him now, jack can't blame him for the distance, for pulling away, for any of it. jack was supposed to have his back, and he didn't. enough he ended up here to begin with. ]
I know.
[ honestly, jack's just glad his face isn't setting murphy off. while there's plenty of difference between him and barnes, you can't ignore what's identical beneath it. ]
