Tatara: it's so good to see you at last Jack
Tatara says in a soothing voice
Jack: i-it's nice to m-meet you t-too
Tatara hums at that as Ayata pulls me from Tatara's hug
Jack: woah!
I yell startled by the sudden pull as Ayata forcefully hugs me and i try to get out of her grip since she's kinda blocking my lungs and by that i mean she's completely crushing my lungs and i gasp for air
Jack: c-can't...b-breath...
I wheeze out and Ayata let's go and i collapse to the ground taking deep breaths as air returns to my lungs as i look to Nora and reach out for her and she walks over helping me up and i sit on my bed
Jack: i-i like y-your scarf Ayata
She just shrugs leaving as i get up with some difficulty and as i'm about to fall over i hug Tatara and she hugs back trying to support me
Jack: t-thanks for s-stopping Ayata e-earlier
I say and she hums at that as Eto clears her throat getting our attention
Eto: he has to get some sleep
Eto says pointing to me and Tatara gives a disappointed look
Tatara: oh come on
She pouts and Eto just points to the door
Jack: it's fine you'll see me tomorrow
I say and she smiles at that and leaves as i walk to my bed and fall on it as i hear Eto's footsteps
Eto: do you find that comfortable
She says sounding shocked and i groan
Jack: no...
Eto: then why don't you sleep with me and Nora?
I tense at that
Jack: w-with y-you t-two?
She giggles
Eto: yes and also...your blushing
I look away embarrassed and she giggles grabbing my right hand and essentially dragging me to her and Nora's bedroom i lay down and Nora lays on the left side as Eto lays on the other and they grab their blankets and i grab the halves of their blankets their not using and i try to get comfortable and a few minutes later both Eto and Nora take all of their blankets leaving me exposed to the cold making me curl up into a ball and shiver as i start chittering and i think i woke Eto and Nora up because they turn around to see me shivering and chittering and they both move closer and i look at Eto's face more clearly and it's completely bandaged and she gives a confused look
Eto: why are you staring at me?
Jack: you still have your face bandaged i'm curious what you look like behind all those bandages
I say and she sits up and takes her cloak off and as she peels the bandages off her face i see her actual face and she's blushing i give her a warm smile as i look back to Nora
Jack: you too Nora i already seen your face so there's no need to hide your face from me
I say and she takes her mask off giving me a happy smile
Eto: we'll all sleep close to each other for warmth
She says and i know that the thought of it makes her extremely happy and for some reason it makes me happy as well i move into Nora's chest as i pull Eto to me and i rest my head in the crook of her neck and she rests her head over mine grabbing her blanket and wrapping us in it hugging me as Nora grabs hers wraps it around us and hugs me and Eto i feel a lot more warm
Eto: i'm glad your being nice now Jack i like you better when your like this
Jack: i like you too Eto your nicer than what i expected
She hums at that
Eto: oh i almost forgot, Jack?
Jack: yes?
Eto: we have to do something to you so that other female ghouls know your ours
I gulp shivering at that
Jack: w-what is i-it?
Eto: we have to mark you but since we're not barbarians and it's you we're marking we'll instead bite you and we'll let you decide where you want the mark
I tense at that as i start to shake a little
Jack: d-do...w-we h-have to m-mark me...n-now?
I say not wanting to get bitten again
Eto: yes it has to be done now
Jack: o-ok...
I say thinking as to where i want to be bitten as i decide where i look to Eto
Jack: h-hear
I say pointing right to the back of my neck
Eto: and Nora's?
Jack: w-what?
Eto: we're both biting you
She says and a chill goes down my spine as i look to Nora
Jack: here
I say pointing to a part off to the left of my neck and she nods as i look back to Eto putting my chin in my chest so she can make a clean bite mark she gently holds my head and shoulder in place as she goes to bite and there's a brief 'CHOMP' as she bites as i scream i put my arm in my mouth to muffle my scream as she pulls away walking out to grab bandages as i look to Nora laying on the opposite side i chose for Nora to bite
Jack: go ahead
I say and she gently holds me still as she bites the spot and i wince in pain and she pulls out as Eto walks in with bandages and wraps some around the bite marks and i lay back down and we take the position we did before and Eto moves a hand to my hair stroking the hairs her fingers can reach behind my ear and i coo at her touch
