Jack sits in the dining room at the table, tinkering with a prototype mini-bot. He sets the screwdriver down and pulls up a holographic screen, typing in a few codes while glancing at the bot to see it twitch to life. Jack smirks as he typed in a command and the little bot slowly sits up, he typed another command in as the bot shakily got up. He reaches down and fixes its joints a bit so its movements are more smoother. "Almost there..." He murmured under his breath as he goes back to the screen and typing a few more codes in. The mini-bot stands up and walks around the table a bit while looking around its surroundings. It then walks off the edge of the table, Jack swiftly catches it before it hits the ground. "Careful there." He grumbled as the bot sat down, he stares at it for a moment before going back to typing.

     "I'm back." (Y/n) announces as she walked through the door with two large bags, "I got the stuff that you needed." Jack turns and smiles.

     "Thanks, cupcake." She hummed as she walked over to him and leaned down so he can peck her cheek. "You're the best." Jack murmured with a small smirk as he slapped her bottom, in which she helped softly.

     "Jack!" (Y/n) giggled while trying to glare at him, setting the bags on the table.

     "Admit it, you like it." Jack smirked as he goes back to the screen, she rolls her eyes and studied the mini-bot.

     "Did you get it?"

     "Almost. Just gotta tinker with it a bit more and dropping it off to robotics for them to finish it off." (Y/n) nods as she smiled.

     "Looks good so far."

     "Thanks." He says as he typed a few more things in and confirming it. The mini-bot turns off and sits lifelessly on the table. "I'll drop it off later at some point." He sighs as he stands up and stretches. Jack approaches (Y/n) and wraps his arms around her, she hums and smiles while wrapping her arms around his neck. They both smile as they leaned into each other and kissed softly.

     "Did you eat yet?" (Y/n) asks with a small smile as Jack places another kiss on her lips.

     "Yeah. Did you?" She nods and Jack picks her up and slumping them both down on the couch, "That's good. Now we can just relax for a bit." Jack sighed as he wrapped an arm around her to pull her close to him, she hummed and snuggled up to his chest. They're both quiet for a moment as (Y/n) looks up at Jack and studied his features, running her fingers lightly over the outline of his mask.

     "Hey, Jack?"

     "Hm?" He hummed as he looked at her, biting his lips together.

     "We've been together for a good while now..." She says as she plays with his hair, "I feel like we trust each other a lot as well."

     "Yeah?" Jack leans into her touch, "What are you getting at, cupcake?" He arches a brow as his mismatched eyes stared into her eyes.

     "Weeeelllll...." (Y/n) drifts off as her fingers played with the metal clasps of his mask that held onto his skin, "I was wondering if I can see what you look like under your mask." Jack looks at her for a quiet moment, processing the question.

     "You... Want to see what I look like under my mask...?" He says with a slight frown. (Y/n) nods. "I don't know, cupcake... I'm afraid you'll run off and never come back if you see what I actually look like."

     "I promise I won't. I love you and I wouldn't give a damn how you look, you're always handsome to me. Please Jack?" (Y/n) pouts as she rested her chin on his chest and gave him puppy dog eyes. Jack tried to resist before sighing deeply and giving in.

     "I guess you can take a quick peek..." He grumbled and she smiles. Jack reaches his hands up to his face, grimacing and looking away as he slowly removed the mask from his face. He continued to look the other way as he placed the mask beside him. "Are you sure?" He says with great uncertainty.

     "I'm sure." She reassured as Jack sighed and slowly turned his face to look at her. The smile on her face slowly fades as her eyes studied his scarred features. A big blue Vault scar on his face that ran over his left eye and resulted in blindness in that one eyes. His blue eye observed her reaction very closely, already regretting the decision.

     "You hate it." Jack says with a sigh and frown, "I'm ugly aren't I?" He looks away with a huff as her eyes widen slightly.

     "What? No. I don't hate it." She says as she gently took his face in her warm hands so he can look at her. This was the first he felt her hands on his face and the first she touched his actual face. His face was surprisingly soft despite its minor marred features. "I actually really like it, Jack. I think this suits you better."

     "You're just saying that." Jack clicked his tongue, wanting to put his mask on already but not wanting her soft touch to leave his face.

     "No I'm not." (Y/n) shakes her head as she leaned her face close to his and placed her lips against his for a short moment. "I think you look pretty badass with that scar. It tells a story about how you got it in a way. It shows of what hell you've been through."

     "You... You think so?" He grumbled softly, slightly surprised as he leaned in again to feel her lips against his again, he liked how they felt and so did she. (Y/n) nods as she kept his face in her hands.

     "I do. And I think I'd prefer it over your mask. With or without it, you'll always be my Handsome Jack." She says with a smile, "And I want you to be comfortable with yourself when you're around me. So you'll know that I'll love you for who you are." Jack looks at her in shock at her words before leaning in again to kiss her passionately. (Y/n) hums and smiles in the kiss as she kissed him back, their eyes closing as their lips moved together.

     "Shit, you're absolutely perfect, cupcake." Jack murmured breathlessly against her lips, "Perfect in every shape and form. I love you so fucking much." (Y/n) can't help but let her smile get bigger at his words and kiss him some more.

     "Hm, you're a totally different person than how we first started..." She murmured and Jack chuckles.

     "You made me into this soft piece of shit."

     "But you were right." Jack raises a brow as he nuzzled his face into her neck and placing soft kisses on her skin.

     "About what?"

     "About me coming around to you eventually and how I'll be wrapped around your fingers at some point." (Y/n) hummed while opening her neck wider for him, running his fingers through his hair. Jack chuckles as he continued to place kisses along her neck.

     "I think it's you who has me wrapped around your fingers there, cupcake."

     "Really?"

     "Yeah. You've managed to get me to show you what I actually look like, very few have seen my actual face." Jack hummed as his nose brushed against her jaw.

     "Like who?"

     "Well, Angel, my ex-girlfriend, Timothy, my ex-wife, you, and those fucking Vault Hunters who made my face like this." He says, growling at the last part as (Y/n) grimaced since she knew that Lilith was the cause for Jack to wear a mask over his face to hide his scar.

     "I see..."

     "That reminds me." He says as he looked at her, "You haven't really stopped your little friends down in Pandora from ruining my plans and you haven't stopped me from trying to kill them. Why is that?"

     "I don't want to choose sides." (Y/n) says with a slight shrug and pecking his lips, "They're my family and you're my boyfriend. I love both sides but I don't want to get in the way of either. And I know that you have a hatred towards them and the others down in Pandora and I know that they all hate you, it makes me sad to see you guys butt heads with each other but I don't know either one of you as best as you guys know each other. So I'm just sitting on the sidelines and not want part in any of this." Jack looks at her and nods.

     "That makes sense. I'm sorry that you feel that way."

     "It's fine. Just please don't kill any of them, I'm not telling you to go easy on them. I'm just saying, don't kill them. I still haven't told them about us but I will at some point." (Y/n) pleaded softly as Jack sighed heavily.

     "I'll try... To refrain from killing them." He grumbled with a frown, she smiled softly and kissed him.

     "That's all I ask. They're like family to me, and they've taken care of me since I was 5 when my parents disappeared and they're the only family that I have." Jack's gaze softens and he nods.

     "I understand." He murmured and they peck each other's lips, "But they're planning on killing my Angel, so if that happens... I don't have a choice but to retaliate and take one of their lives for hers. Angel is the only family I have and the only thing I have left of my ex-wife, she's important to me personally and to this whole operation." (Y/n) bites her lips together and nodded slowly, Jack told her awhile ago what he did to Angel and what he's been using her for. She didn't very much like the idea of how Jack treated and used his own daughter for experiments but she couldn't do anything but sit on the sidelines and merely watch. Jack rarely spoke of his past relationships, especially with his ex-wife, so (Y/n) never pushed him about the subject.

     "I know..." She murmured softly as they sat together on the couch. Jack sighs and kisses her softly.

     "I wish it wasn't like this. But I can't turn back now, it's way too late for that." Jack says, "I have to keep moving this whole operation forward, no matter how many lives it takes. Do you understand?" (Y/n) nods as he pressed his forehead against hers and they both close their eyes. "This will all be over soon, I promise."

     "We can only hope..." (Y/n) murmured.
