The word is "resign". Think of Glen resigning himself to being Jack's comfy pillow. *hearts* Glen x Jack
Glen was leaning in and Jack's surprise destroyed what little sanity he had in that moment and rather than pushing the other away or leaning back even further to escape, he met the lips closing the distance in his own impatience and savored the taste he had been wanting to know for a time unknown even to himself. And with reciprocation came acceptance and relief and suddenly the world was entirely different as two hearts accepted each other beating in the same steady pace to create an unwritten melody that would continue into a crescendo of unspoken words and gentle touches.
"You've fallen asleep again, Jack."
Jack jumped suddenly, the top of his head making contact with Glen's chin in a painful knock.
"Agh."
Jack's body had escaped Glen so quickly that to anyone else it would appear the man was on fire. "I'm sorry! Are you alright?"
His friend's violet eyes looked over to meet his green ones. He looked unamused but not angry, so Jack took this to be a good sign. Wait, if my head hit his chin then-?

Something stirred inside of Jack and he looked up to Glen almost bashfully, his eyes daring to meet his. And you didn't push me off? He had in the past; that or he had woken him up. So, why had he not only let him sleep but was comfortable enough to fall asleep as well? Jack could not read his friend's expression. It was blank and uninterested, but Glen's eyes were unfaltering. Neither of them moved or said anything for a time until Glen reached out and pulled Jack forward by his ruffled cravat.
It was only then that Jack remembered the dream that he had been having. His heart began to pick up speed and he wondered if the dream would come true, if he should close the distance between their lips and-
But Glen pulled Jack back beside him instead, leading the blonde to return his head to rest on his chest again. Their previous position was reclaimed and they both lay there quietly.
