Summary
Breathing means they’re alive, that was the most important thing in Jake’s life. He sat beside Lo’ak, gently placing his hand on the other’s chest so he could feel the rhythm. For just a second, he could picture Lo’ak as an infant, when Jake had done the same action. He was so small back then, Jake’s hand had covered his whole chest and then some. His little ears had flicked, showing that even in his sleep, he appreciated the closeness. Lo’ak’s ears didn’t flick this time, if anything Jake had felt him tense up for a moment. That broke something in Jake, and even as he tried to compose himself, he felt his eyes filling with tears.
OR
Jake knows he hasn’t been the best father to Lo’ak, he’s known it for months now, ever since Neteyam almost died. He was determined to be better, to be the father that Lo’ak deserves. Then, Lo’ak gets hurt and Jake can no longer keep his feelings to himself.
