Jack smiled then, something a little softer and a little more personal. He appreciated too how honest the sentiment was for the Doctor. He understood that sort of honesty, and how hard it could be to display it.
"If only I'd realised that earlier, eh?" he said, his own little honesty there. He could just be himself. And that was just what he needed. Just what he wanted. That was good.
He shifted his shoulders back to assist the Doctor with removing the dampened shirt, keeping his eyes on his face the whole time, his focus utterly on him. Watching cautiously for any moment he might want or need to step back in to bolster the Doctor.
But then he found he didn't, because he was kissed and it was more. It was something different, and just as important.
His hand lifted and touched gentle to the Doctor's cheek, thumb brushing back and forth a little. He returned the kiss with the nature it was given, slow and soft and undoubtedly loving. A sentiment he reiterated quietly when their lips parted. Just a whisper, "I love you, Doctor."
