go!
my sweet angel, my sweet eric 🦋
Jackie and Jack Kennedy both being enamored with you…
a/n: read part one here ⋆₊˚⊹ ࿔⋆!! As soon as I heard the lyrics "I'm possessive, it isn't nice" in the song below, I instantly thought about them and knew I had to write a part two.
currently listening to: Lay All Your Love On Me by ABBA
The two of them have a habit of calling you by a shortened version of your name. Similar to the way that Jack would call his sister Rose, Rosie.
As I mentioned in my first post, you expected Jackie to be infuriated with the wandering pair of eyes and hands that Jack had when it came to you, but you couldn't be more surprised when she didn't seem to mind. If anything, the both of them are just as touchy. The only difference is that Jackie's affection can be deemed as friendly by the people around you.
Yeah, her settling her hands on the plush of your hips and squeezing as she passes by you is totally platonic. Her longing gaze definitely isn't, though.
They know the relationship the three of you share isn't conventional nor is it easy on you emotionally. Sure, the three of you share an undeniable love for one another but at the end of the day - they have each other. You aren't married to either of them and the terms boyfriend and girlfriend seem far too childish for what it is that the three of you share. It's easy for you to get in your head about it and question your actions, but they're always there to bring you back down to Earth.
There's no point in asking them what is this? what are we? Because they'll look at you as if you're clinically insane. The three of you have shared some rather...intimate moments together & they've explicitly told you that they love you and you're asking what is this?
"whaddya mean what is this? You're ours, that's what it is. And we're yours."
did you read that in Jack's nasally boston accent because I know I did.
Don't even try to get romantically involved with anyone else, that person wouldn't be able to compare in the slightest. Not romantically nor sexually. You'd constantly be reminded about the fact that your spouse isn't able to meet the immensely high standards that the Kennedy couple left you with. Oh you poor thing, your boyfriend got you roses instead of tulips? Jackie would've remembered that tulips are your favorite. Your boyfriend called late to wish you a happy birthday because of "work"? Well, Jack never let work get in the way of his time with you...
Like, I said, don't even try to date anyone else. It won't end well.
Constantly being seen at galas and fancy political dinners right beside the couple. Jackie uses the large crowds as an excuse to guide you through the venue by your hand. There's photos of the two of them leaning into your space while engaging in hushed conversation over the dinner table, Jackie complimenting your cherubic features while Jack affirms her sweet statements as he occupies himself by playing with your delicate fingers.
"oh it's true, darling, you do look beautiful. C'mon, you know it's true don't get all shy on us now."
They've made themselves incredibly easy for you to depend on. It wasn't long before you started calling them & only them when you need somebody to cry to. You know that they'll calm you down with zero issue whatsoever. Jackie will smooth your hair over before leaning down to press her pink lips to your temple, furrowing her fluffy eyebrows in concern while cooing at your trembling form. "I know, honey, I know. It's okay, we're here now." Jack will show just as much comfort. He'll cup your cheeks in his strong hands, pressing a wet kiss to your smushed lips but not before murmuring:
"oh don't cry, sweetheart, it'll just make me and Jackie sad. You don't wanna see us sad d'ya? Hm?"
Going on boat rides and walks on the beach together at Hyannis Port. You have your very own room at both properties in Hyannis Port and Palm Beach. They gave you your own room because they didn't want anyone growing suspicious. If it wasn't for the risks that'd come with such a decision, they'd just have you stay in their room full time with no need for you to have your own bedroom. (you kinda already do spend all of your time in their room but nobody knows so shh).
sooo many letters expressing your love for one another being shared between the three of you.
get ready to be Jackie’s muse when it comes to her photography. She loves taking photos of you and Jack together, and photographs of the three of you standing in front of a mirror so that everyone is visible.
If you don't already know how to ride horses, Jackie will take it upon herself to teach you. The gentle manner in which she brushes the horse's manes and the way she softly coos at them to settle down makes your heart melt.
She loves playing with your hair any chance she can get and puts your hair into different styles to busy herself while the two of you talk. If your hair is short (like mine), she'll put a pony tail in the very center of your hair and giggle because "you look like a little radish!" If your hair is long enough to braid, she'll teach Jack how to put your hair into braids.
keeping Jackie company when Jack is at the office and accompanying her to go visit him.
Spending time with their children and offering a helping hand when the time calls for it. After the birth of their baby, Jackie immediately wants you in the room with her and has you hold the baby. She gleams up at you as she watches you cradle the newborn, taking notice of how gentle you are. A tired smile spread across her lips when you immediately dashed towards her as soon as you were let into the room, your focus strictly on her at first - making sure she was okay. It was only until after you checked on her that you turned your attention towards the baby.
They're constantly inviting you to accompany them on trips/European getaways. Jackie's knack for photography shines even stronger and her entire camera roll is filled with photos of you & Jack laid out in the sun together, Jack hand feeding you dinner because he's an obsessive freak, and you smiling at the camera like your life depends on it while you bask in the Tuscan sun.
copying Jack’s strong accent because you cannot mistake where that man is from, you knoww he’s from Boston.
“Oh, I do not sound like that.”

“Bye-bye I’ve gotta go now”
“Where are you going?”
“Oh I don’t know, going to speak to some grown ups I think. That’s not nearly as much fun.”
an excerpt of mahler’s ‘adagietto’ from symphony no. 5 led by leonard bernstein and the new york philharmonic recorded in st. patrick’s cathedral on june 8, 1968, the day of bobby’s funeral. (yes it’s the real recording)
days before the funeral, jackie called leonard bernstein to help ethel plan bobby’s funeral. when bernstein told her that women couldn’t sing in the cathedral, jackie said “so what? this is special. this is bobby. they will make an exception.”
finally they settled on mahler. after the funeral, jackie sent him a letter of gratitude, thanking him for his participation:
“when your mahler started to fill (but that is the wrong word — because it was more this sensitive trembling) the cathedral today — i thought it was the most beautiful music i had ever heard. i am so glad i didn’t know it — it was this strange music of all the gods who were crying. and then — if only you could have seen it - it was the time when ethel had thought of the most touching thing — having the littlest nephews and nieces, small children, before that terrifying array of cardinals and gold and gothic vaults, carry all the little vessels for communion up to the high altar, so that they could have some part in the farewell to the uncle they all loved so much. they were so vulnerable — and your music was everything in my heart, of peace and pain and such drowning beauty. you could just close your eyes and be lost in it forever.”
in an interview with jean stein a year later, bernstein shared his thoughts about that day:
it was just a movement from mahler’s fifth, but it’s of particularly poignant intensity, and it’s just exactly the right music for this occasion. even, perhaps, too emotional, or passionate. but somehow nothing could be emotional or passionate enough to express that moment.
and here are the three of them (bobby, jackie, and leonard) at the dining hall of the metropolitan opera house in new york city. april 28 1965.
