BatIM CoC AO3 Update: It’s Just Another Normal Night in Nola

[BatIM Call of Cthulhu Masterpost]

It was right after the masquerade, when the rise of the Yellow King had been averted, when it was all over and they made it back to their hotel room to finally actually rest, that Joey decided he needed more of Jack’s company, and Sammy agreed. They could all use a little closeness and help as they try to adjust to the changes and fears they’ve been left with after this encounter.

“Will you be good on your own? I’ll only take a few minutes, so I can head back after if you still need me.” Not wanting to bother Joey much longer, Jack turned to the door to leave.

Joey nodded, and managed to keep to himself up until he heard the click of the doorknob. And then there was a fumbling noise as he tried to get up off the bed far too quickly to chase after Jack, tripping over his own feet, as well as his shoes that he hadn’t noticed had been taken off, and landing on his knees and hands with a curse under his breath.

Though when Jack turned to look at him, instead of recognizing what had just happened, Joey simply gave a lopsided smile and said, “You don’t… have to give me privacy… if you don’t want to, of course…” A moment later his brain caught up to what he was saying, “Though I can understand if you have other matters to attend to, just, you’re welcome to stay… In here.”
