What a lovely birthday gift. - for ilovedoyle and the Doctor and Jack
Here's my favorite part: He put a hand on Jack’s broad shoulder when he moved to pull away from the blindfold, and felt the tense muscles quivering with a suppressed flight instinct.
“Trust me, please Jack.” The Doctor’s voice was softer than Jack had ever heard directed at him.
Such a simple request, Jack thought, but leaning back to allow the Doctor to tie the blindfold ranked up there as one of the hardest things he had done in a good few centuries, he was rewarded by a light squeeze to his shoulder, then the Doctor trailed his hand down Jack’s arm to grasp his hand once more.
“Thank you, Jack. I won’t let you fall, I promise.”
