we all got expectations and sometimes they go wrong
[Jaeger knew it was a mistake to stay and fight this thing.
He had tried to get Wesker to leave, but in the end they agreed that it needed to be taken care of. If Wesker couldn't handle it, who could? So if they don't kill it, someone could get seriously hurt or killed, and it's best just to remove it from the picture now while they're here. It doesn't matter that this place is unnerving Jaeger so badly he's having a hard time shooting straight, the important thing is that this monster is taken out.
It looks like Uroboros, and the more Jaeger sees of it, the more unsteady his aim becomes. Using the sword or scythe won't work - he can't imagine getting any closer to it than he already is, and even though the rifle's shots don't seem to be doing anything, he can at least pretend to be useful from back here. Wesker's got plenty of weaponry, so surely he can find something that will damage it better than Jaeger's limited options. It's times like this he really does wish he was a better fighter, but even if he was he'd be at a severe disadvantage. Look at the size of this thing.
It's been ignoring him for the most part, focusing on Wesker and otherwise just sort of watching them with its hundreds - thousands? - of eyes. The mechanical sounds continue in the background and it's all so oppressive Jaeger can barely think. But he's trying his best to maintain his focus, because even though he's damn near useless, he could never turn and run and leave Wesker to face this alone.
One of his shots is a lucky one - he hits a particularly large eye dead on and the blast causes it to sink in further to the disgusting mass, no longer working. Immediately, all the other remaining eyes turn on Jaeger. There's something absolutely horrifying at having all of them look directly at you, and Jaeger freezes on the spot, rifle still at the ready like he's going to take another shot. He knows he should - or better yet, he should move, but he can't seem to will himself to do either.
The mass of eyes doesn't move, but an equally horrifying appendage of tentacles (also filled with eyes, of course) swings around and then straight ahead, with the intention of impalement on the sharp pieces of metal imbued toward the end of the writhing mass. If it hits, Jaeger won't survive, and he's all too aware of that. It's only then that he starts to move, and it's far too late for him to get away.]

I promised I would always come back to you.
[It's easier than his words were before he died; he seems to be breathing far better, at least.]
I'm... I'll be all right now. Enough of it has healed, anyway... The rest is just recovery.
no subject
[He presses closer as well, nuzzling against Wesker.]
I was just... I was so worried...
no subject
...I didn't mean to upset you like that. I...tried not to black out.
no subject
I'm just... I'm so relieved...
[He'll resume running his hand through Wesker's hair again now that he's settled a bit.]
no subject
Was I gone long...?
no subject
[He says it like it's no big deal, but it was a really bad few minutes...]
no subject
[...]
...Are you going to be all right?
no subject
[He shifts a bit so he can run his sleeve across his eyes.]
Sorry, I don't want to worry you. I promise I'm okay.
no subject
...I know it's upsetting, Jaeger, it's all right.
no subject
[He nuzzles his husband again.]
no subject
[He'll return it, okay.]
...I just didn't want that thing to hit you.
no subject
[...He doesn't want to think about that.]
Thank you. It means so much to me that you saved me.
no subject
[...Ah. There's the usual pragmatism.]
That's not to say I would have simply allowed you to be harmed otherwise, but still.
no subject
Don't worry, I know. But still, you put yourself in danger for me, and I can't thank you enough for it. I love you, so much, Albert.
no subject
[...That really does feel nice.]
I know you would have done the same for me, if I were in danger like that. You don't have to thank me.
no subject
[Without hesitation, despite the fact that it's a terrible idea, and he would never want to die and leave Wesker alone.]
Even so, it means a lot to me. Thank you for keeping me safe. I'm sorry it was necessary.
no subject
[It wasn't pleasant, and he doesn't like dying, but...]
no subject
[He nuzzles Wesker again.]
I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm sorry you were in so much pain. But you're still here, and I'm so glad.
no subject
He shifts a bit at that, moving to pull Jaeger closer against him so he can hold him properly, running his fingers through his hair lightly.]
I'm right here, Jaeger, you aren't going to lose me.
no subject
I know. I know I won't. You'll always come back to me.
[It's easier to believe that now, but still... Relaxing is a little difficult when he's starting to shake like this.]
no subject
...You know you can tell me anything. But if you don't want to talk for now, that's fine as well.
no subject
[He shudders a bit and tries to get it under control.]
I just... I don't want to lose you, and for a moment there... I really thought you weren't coming back.
[He releases a breath.]
I know it sounds silly now, because I really do believe you when you say you'll always come back to me.
no subject
[His grip tightens a little against Jaeger where he's pressed against him.]
I know that sort of thing scares you. It's all right.
no subject
[That does get him to settle a bit; it always does help to talk about it.]
no subject
You don't have to worry about me for now.
