Drabble #26
caz2y5 wanted more Jacob/Jimmy and 'four'. This is a sort of continuation/set in the same world as this one.

Something is tapping on Jacob's window, a low rhythmic thud that breaks through his sleep in degrees. Jacob stares at the shadows in the corner of the room for a moment, his gaze flicks to the clock that says 4am, and then sharp realization floods through him. Adrenaline stiffens his body and quickens his heart before he scrambles out of the bed.
There's Jimmy, crouching at the narrow basement window, pale face staring inside. Jacob opens it and Jimmy shimmies through, Jacob wrapping his arms around Jimmy's torso to pull him in and keep him from falling. Jimmy usually falls. Jimmy is usually hurt or exhausted or starving. This time he seems fine.
He stands under his own power and there's no scent of blood to fill the air but he doesn't shift back and Jacob doesn't take his arms away. Not when Jimmy's face is pressing against his chest and Jacob can feel a wetness on his skin though Jimmy is as still and quiet as stone. Jacob tightens his grip.
Sometimes taking care of Jimmy doesn't require very much at all.
