Jack tried to remain calm. Calm in stark contrast to the Doctor's panic. Inside he was worried, petrified, but they needed one of them to stay calm. He had to.
So he kept a focus and tried to calm the Doctor by being calm himself. But it wasn't enough, he knew that. The hand touched his face and he could feel the attempt, but nothing past a vague fizzle and a fuzz came through. And that was bad, Jack thought, bad that the Doctor was weakening so much not to be able to reach to him like that.
But Jack didn't need words of explanation to understand as the Doctor loosened in his arms. Quickly, he lay him down flat, placing a hand gently against the back of his head to support it from the rock.
"Stay with me, Doctor," he commanded him firmly, "you hear me? Stay with me. You just make sure you stay with me."
Moving over him, he prised the Doctor's mouth open and clasped his nose. He took a deep breath, filling his lungs, and leaned down, closing his mouth over the Doctor's, breathing air deep into his lungs.
