"We're here!" Jack shouts as he starts landing the ship, causing (Y/n) to jump from her slumber. He chuckles, "Lookey here, Sleeping Beauty finally woke up." She rolls her eyes as she sat up from her seat, not saying a word. Jack notices that she hasn't spoken a word to him since they left Pandora and it annoyed him a bit. "Suddenly you're not talking to me now, cupcake?" He snickered as she rolled her eyes at him again, "You didn't seem to mind me at all until you figured out who I was. I thought we could work it out. Why the sudden change, huh?" Jack says in a taunting manner.

     "You're such an asshole..." She grumbles under her breath.

     "What was that? I don't think I heard you correctly there, pumpkin. Mind repeating that for me?" He mocks as he leaned over to her and cupped his ear. (Y/n) stays silent with her arms crossed, frowning. Jack smirks as he moved away, "Mhm. Thought my ears were playing tricks on me." 

     "I hate you so much right now." She says aloud with her brows knitted together, annoyed by him. Jack places his hand on his chest, feigning to be hurt.

     "Ow. That hurts, cupcake. You do know that words hurt more than physical pain, right?" He says as she frowns even more.

     "Then maybe I should do more talking than attempting to punch you. I hate you." She snaps as he scoffs.

     " 'Hate' is a pretty strong word." 

     "And it strongly fits my feelings towards you." (Y/n) says as she stands up to walk off, not wanting to talk to him anymore before he grabs her wrist tightly and stands up, pulling her back to him. She raises her fist to punch him and he catches that hand as well.

     "You don't hate me. You dislike me, cupcake." He says with a growl.

     "You have to do a lot to get to the disliked ranking. You're at the very top of the hate ranking." She scowled as she pried herself out of his grip.

     "Can I buy my way to the disliked ranking?" He asks with a brow arched. (Y/n) glares back at him.

     "No." She says.

     Jack sighs in fake disappointment with a snap of his fingers, "Aw darn. Well then, isn't that a shame. Because I could get you more than what they could down there."

     "Not everything is bought with money." She crosses her arms.

     "Not always true." He defends.

     "Like what then?" (Y/n) squints at him as her foot tapped impatiently.

     "Like um... I don't know, something like..." Jack takes a moment to think, rubbing the chin of his mask before snapping his fingers, "Education, bribery, heating, food, even the good ol' sex." He informs and she scoffed and rolled her eyes.

     "That's not what I mean."

     "Then what the hell do you mean?" Jack huffed with a frown.

     "I don't know! Things like love. You can't buy love, love has to be earned." 

     "Sooo I have to earn your love?" He inquired with a brow arched and she fake gagged.

     "Oh god no. For me, you have to earn it to be in the disliked rank. You can't just buy your way off the top of the hate ranking. It's like you can't buy your way out of jail."

     "Actually, you can. That's called a bail, cupcake. Man, being on a lawless planet really does a number on the newer generation doesn't it?" He says while placing his hands on his hips, she scoffs.

     "Whatever! Are you calling me dumb?" She growled as he laughs.

     "I wish I could since there's a very high lack of education down in Pandora, especially in the Dust. You didn't even know what a  bail is!" And she glares at him.

     "You are such a narcissist!"

     "You just now noticed, kiddo? I mean, I guess I can't blame you since you didn't even know who I was when you first saw me." He says as he started to get annoyed.

     "I've heard of you! I've never seen what you looked like!" (Y/n) says angrily.

     "My face is plastered on every friggin' banner down there! What do you mean you've never seen what I looked like? I wear a mask for crying out loud!" He shouts, "My mask is what defines me as Handsome goddamed Jack!"

     "I didn't take your stupid mask into consideration at the time." She shouts back.

     "You're really pushing it, cupcake." He says in a very stern manner.

     "Oh I'm pushing it? You're the one who wanted to take me off Pandora out of spite for the people that I considered family!" She says with a stomp of her foot and they both go quiet. They both take deep breaths  and Jack sighs deeply. Clasping his hands together and bringing them up to his face, closing his eyes as he calmed down.

      "Know what," He says calmly as he pulled his hands away from each other, "How about we start over, let's just start over on a clear slate. I say this, because we very obviously started off on the wrong foot. And you're going to be staying with me for a long time now, and if you don't want to start clean, you'll just have to suck it up like a big girl and deal with this toxic relationship forever. Alright?" He reasons as (Y/n) crosses her arms and stands in silence, thinking it over before sighing deeply.

     "Fine." She grumbles and  he grins.

     "Great! New slate. Swoosh!" He waves his hand across an imaginary slate and offers her his hand. "As you already know, I'm Handsome Jack, the one and only. Pandora's badass hero, Hyperion's #1 CEO/Boss, and your soon to be sugar daddy." Jack introduced with a wink and smirk, she looks at him in disgust.

     "New slate." She says with a deep frown and he groans, waving his hand across an imaginary slate again.

     "Alright, take two." Standing up straight and offering her his hand again with an award winning smile, "Hi there, cupcake. It's me, your friendly neighborhood Handsome Jack. Pandora's awesome savior, Hyperion's feared CEO/Boss, and possibly your acquaintance for the time being until we work it out." He says as she stares at him with the never changing frown. "Eh? How was that?" He says with a grin and she rolls her eyes, taking his hand.

     "It was okay, I guess." She muttered as he did a victorious air fist pump and she rolls her eyes.

     "What's your name again, pumpkin?" He asks as he brings the back of her hand up to his lips before she swiftly yanks it out of his hold, in which he pouts a bit.

     "(Y/n) (L/n)." She says with a blank look. Jack nods as he put his hands in his pockets.

     "(Y/n)..." He lets her name roll off his tongue and hums, "I like it. It's a cute name."

     "Oh geez, thank you." (Y/n) says sarcastically with fake enthusiasm, hiding the slight blush that threatened to spread onto her cheeks. He chuckles and holds back from strangling her.

     "God I wish I could strangle you but it's the first day and we're starting fresh so I can't. Just take the damn compliment. Anyway," Jack claps his hands and rubs them together as he looked down at (Y/n) with a smile, "Now that we've cleared things up, shall I give you a tour of your new home sweet home?" He asks as she stares up at him and nods.

     "Sure." She shrugs as he grins.

     "Awesome sauce. Follow me." He says as he starts to walk out of the ship, (Y/n) following after him with a deep sigh.

[Time Skip; Brought to you By: Zed's Clinic "I'm Zed. If you get shot, I'll heal ya! Oh wow, I really should have written down more, I guess. Oh well. Say, how much time do I needta fill? 30 seconds? Okay, well... I'm Zed. If you get shot, I'm all ya got!"]

     "And that wraps up our tour!" Jack says with a grin while they walked down the halls.

     "What about your office? From I heard, it has the 'best view' of Pandora." She said and inquiring the air quotes. He chuckles as he nods.

     "You bet your sweet ass I do. That's the last bit that can be saved for later, it's been a long day." He hums as he looked at her, "But you know what else would be the best view?" He asks as she looked up at him, "You in a pencil skirt and sitting on my desk with your legs spread wide-"

     "Ugh, pervert." She groaned with a roll of her eyes and he chuckles.

     "It'll happen at some point, cupcake." He says with a wink and she scoffed. "Alright, here's where you'll be staying." They both stop at a penthouse and she didn't even notice to her surprise, "This is my place if you couldn't tell."

     "Oh my god, really? I couldn't tell." She says, feigning shock and gasping, Jack rolls his eyes.

     "Follow me," He says as he walks her to a bedroom, "This will be your room from now on. And that's my room down there." He points to a room at the far end.

     "Why do I need to know that?" She asks with a brow raised and he shrugs.

     "Just so you know, I'll be there. If you have nightmares at night and you need someone to sleep with you."

     "I'm not a kid."

     "Ah that's right. In case you're lonely and you need company." He winks and she groaned. "What? It doesn't have to be sexual, I mean, I did take you from everyone you loved so you'll need comfort." He reasons as she sighs.

     "Whatever, I'm going to bed." She says as he nods.

     "Right, you do that, cupcake. Do you want me to tuck you in and read you a bedtime story?" He asks playfully .

     "Nah, I'll pass on the offer." (Y/n) walks into her bedroom, "Goodnight, Jack." 

     "Sleep tight, cupcake." He says with a small smirk as he leaned close to her, "Don't let the bed bugs bite." He murmured lowly, she blushes slightly and nodded.

     "Will do." She mutters as she closed the door. Jack stares at the door and sighs, running his hand through his hair. (Y/n) looks around the bedroom in awe, sitting on the bed and then melting into the comforter. "So soft." She moaned in relief at how comfortable the bed was. She then sits up, "Oh right. The ECHO!" She says as she pulled out her ECHO. She attempts to call the others and with no success. She sighs and sets up a recording, once she's satisfied with her message, she sends it while wiping tears away and going to sleep.

     "Hey, everyone. I got to Helios safely and I'm currently in my new room doing this because I tried contacting you guys but it was a bust... *sigh* Honestly, I don't know what I'm gonna do now. I don't know what he's gonna do. I feel like I made the biggest mistake of my life and... I'm so far away from home... But this is my new home now and I have to put up with it. Please call me so I know you got this, Jack could be stopping my calls from reaching you just to make my life miserable. Anyway, I'm gonna go to sleep now. I'll try to call again tomorrow. Bye, love you guys."

     "Oh, (Y/n)..." Lilith muttered as she drank a shot, "Happy Birthday..."
