Crystals (Jacksepticeye X Male Reader)

Crystal Hearts AU

(Context: In this world everyone is born with a crystal heart in their hands. It can be any color and gets bigger as you get older.When you find a person you love more than anything, there's a tradition that you and that person will exchange your hearts so that they quite literally have your heart. The heart is about the size of your fist once you're an adult.)



Jack looked down at the small crystal heart in his hands. The soft (F/C) glow surrounding it provided him comfort as his cab drove down the busy streets of LA to his hotel. He'd had to leave his treasure at home in Ireland and he'd been trying everything to stay calm. This was the first time he'd been away since that special day.
He had to wait until midnight.
Jack sighed and looked at the time on his phone. He smiled at the background of his lock screen. Two bright smiles stared back at him along with the most beautiful eyes he'd ever seen in his life.

11:27pm

33 more minutes until midnight.
He drowned out the soft radio and the sounds of the city in favor of allowing himself to think. He just needed to think.
'Maybe I can get a ticket home tomorrow...' He thinks to himself before looking down at the small heart again.
The color softly pulsed to show that the owner was relaxed.
He didn't know how many times he'd looked at it since he got on that plane.
He didn't know how many times he'd let it soothe his mind with it's soft glow.

11:32pm

Jack jumped when the cabbie announced that he was at the hotel. The heart jumped from his hand accidently and he stumbled to catch it. It landed in his hands and he let out a loud exhale.
"Is it ok?" The man asked nervously and watched Jack gently bring it to his chest with shaking hands.
"Y-Yeah. It's ok..." He breathed out in relief.
"Wife?" The elderly man asked with a kind smile.
"Husband." Jack corrected with a soft smile.
"Ah. That's sweet. I'm glad such a handsome young man was able to find such a happy relationship. You know the tradition after all," He smiled with a small laugh.
"Thank you. Have a great night," Jack smiled and grabbed his backpack, slipping the crystal heart into his pocket. He handed some money to the cabbie to pay for the ride but also to tip, "Keep the change."
The man smiled and put the money down, "Have a nice night yourself, Mr. Septiceye."
Jack looked shocked, "How...?"
"My grandson is a huge fan," The man laughed again.
"Hm. Here. Give this to him," Jack grinned and pulled out a Septiceye Sam plushie from his backpack and put his signature on the little tag.
"Are you sure...?"
"Of course!" Jack grinned.
"Thank you!" The man grinned and put the plush into the seat next to him. A grey heart sat next to it.
Grey.
His lover had died.
"No problem. Have a wonderful night," Jack said and got out of the car. He grabbed his suitcase from the trunk and put it on the sidewalk before closing the door. He walked to where the man could see him before waving. The man waved back before driving away.
Jack walked into the hotel and checked in. He had his hood up in hopes that people wouldn't recognize him right now. He got his room key on the fourth floor and quickly escaped the public eye to take refuge in his room.
He put his things down into the simple room and sighed again. He pulled out his phone and (Y/N)'s heart from his pocket, setting them down on the bed. He checked the time once more using the bedside clock.

11:47pm

Jack let out an impatient huff and flopped onto the bed, moving his phone in front of him along with the soft glowing heart.
He turned his phone on again to look at the photo one more time.
(Y/N) had his arms around Jack's neck from behind and his chin rested on Jack's shoulder. His face was split in half with a big beautiful smile. He let his eyes lock onto the bright (E/C) eyes that he always got lost in and then let his gaze move to (Y/N)'s soft (H/C) hair. Jack in the photo was smiling as well with his glasses on and a beanie on his head. He had one of (Y/N)'s hands locked in his own since he was kissing the back of it. His loving husband had a soft blush across his face.
Jack smiled at the photo. He kissed the photo and looked at the heart next to him. He ached to be back home with (Y/N). In their house where it always smelt like (Y/N)'s homemade chai tea mix. The sweet scent of saigon cinnamon with nutmeg and other spices was like heaven to him. Jack got up quickly and opened his suitcase, pulling out a small Mason Jar filled with the mix and opened it. He set it on the bedside table and let the scent fill the room.
Jack sighed in relief and smiled softly.
Jack grabbed the heart and a pillow on the bed, gently slipping the heart into the pillowcase to act as if it was a real person. He had the pillow in the place of where a real heart would be. Jack hugged the pillow close to his chest and laid down.

11:56pm

Jack groaned loudly. This just wasn't the same. This wasn't his (Y/N).
"Four more minutes...." he said quietly and hugged the pillow tighter. All he wanted was (Y/N) but (Y/N) couldn't come with him since he was busy filming a music video for his YouTube channel. (Y/N) was still in Ireland, at their home, in all his beautiful glory. He missed having his love in his arms, safe, warm, and completely protected.
He wanted so badly to be able to hold (Y/N) in his arms, feel his hand resting gently on top of (Y/N)'s soft smaller hand with their fingers intertwined.
(Y/N) sleeps on his back. One arm would be wrapped around his own waist and his left arm would be sprawled out beside him. Jack would have his right arm around (Y/N)'s waist from under him, opposite to (Y/N)'s, and his left arm across his chest to be able to hold his hand. He'd always hold (Y/N) close and would snuggle as much as he could. They loved this position and Jack missed it.

12:00am

Jack gasped and grabbed his phone. He looked through his contacts and clicked on a very special name. The name has a (F/C) heart emoji next to his name. He listen impatiently to the dial tone, waiting to hear the sweeter than sugar voice flow through the speaker.
The dial tone stopped and he held his breath.
"Mm.... Sean...?"
(Y/N)'s voice flowed through the speaker. It was low and sleepy but it sounded like heaven to Jack. He felt his whole body relax.
"Hi, Baby," He grinned and used (Y/N)'s nickname.
"Sean, Honey... it's seven in the morning."
"I know... I just missed our voice.."
"Go to bed, Honey. You've got be tired. Call me back around 11am your time, ok?"
"B-But-" Jack tried to protest. (Y/N) quickly hushed him though.
"Goodnight, Sean. I love you."
"Fine... I love you too..."
"Oh, and Sean?"
"Yes, Baby?"
"I missed you too, Greenbean." He smiled at (Y/N)'s nickname for him.
"Thanks, Baby."
"Now go to bed."
"Alright, alright.... bye (Y/N)."
"Bye Sean."
Jack hung up and looked a the crystal heart. His eyes landed on the fastly pulsing glow from (Y/N)'s heart.
(Y/N) was happy and his heart was racing.
"Goodnight, Baby... I love you... now and forever."
