Jack Benjamin Drabbles
Summary: Jack shows up at a childhood friend's door seeking solace
Authour's Notes: Started as a larger project with a friend over on DeviantArt. We challenged each other to write 500 word drabbles inspired by several characters portrayed by Sebastian Stan. Now I'm sharing several of them over here on ; they will be written and updated sporadically, each character getting their own series on here.
1. Jack Benjamin x Reader
Prompt: Jack shows up at your place with Twister and wine
Words: 466
Karalynn knew the moment she opened her front door to find Jack Benjamin standing there she should have slammed the door in his face. Any normal woman would have swooned at the sight of the crown prince at their door, but not her. It seemed lately she only saw the man when he wanted something. The prince gave Karalynn a sheepish look as he held up a board game – Twister – and a few bottles of wine – his favourite, of course.
Two bottles and several rounds of Twister later, the two of them collapsed in a heap of drunken giggles, Jack on top of her. "What happened this time?" she asked as her giggles died down. The young woman absently began to run her hand through his hair, something she had down thousands of times before.
"Can't I just come over to see you?" he asked, his eyes closing as he leaned into her touch.
"You know your bullshit doesn't work with me Jonathon."
Jack scowled at Karalynn before wrapping his arms around her and cuddling close, resting his head on her chest. "I miss you, Lynnie. Can't you see that?"
"Jack," she sighed.
"They want me to get married, Karalynn," he confesses, his voice muffled as he talks into your breasts.
"There's no shortage of women who'll throw themselves at your feet for the job, your Highness," she told him, her voice oozing sarcasm on that last word. Jack shifted his head so he could glance up at his friend, an unreadable expression on his face. "What? It's true." A moment later, Karalynn was on her back with Jack above her, has hands on either side of her head. Karalynn met his stormy gaze and blushed faintly; it was undeniable that Jack Benjamin was attractive. The prince was her first crush as well as her childhood best friend.
"I'm giving you the job," he told her before leaning close and brushing his lips lightly against hers. Karalynn's hands found their way to his chest and pushed him back. The dark haired man stared for a moment before giving a lopsided grin. "Well, at least you didn't punch me this time."
"Tempting," the young woman mumbled, glaring at him. "I love you, Jack, and you know I would do anything for you."
"That a 'yes'?"
"Your mother would have my head!"
Jack's grin fell away as he sat up, freeing her. "To hell with them. I won't do it, Karalynn. I won't marry someone I can't stand!" he ranted. "You know me, the real me. And you're… safe."
Karalynn sat up and wrapped her arms around him. "And I'll always, always be your safe place Jack."
"Hey Karalynn?" She pulled back to look at him. "You're terrible at Twister."
She growled and playfully punched him in the arm. "Asshole."
