William Darcy had approximately three settings: Overprotective Big Brother/Friend/Boyfriend-turned-hopefully-Fiance to those he cared for, Conscientious CEO to his employees and Obnoxious Douchebag to those he did not like. Jessica had somehow managed to slip into that first category without his true knowledge of the fact and though he was aware that he was much more social with her than many of the others here, he didn't realize that he cared for her on a more personal level until he was scrawling a note for Gigi and departing for the younger girl's apartment in plaid pajama pants and a T-shirt. It was atypical Darcy behavior if he ever displayed it and he didn't care. The news struck a chord in him suddenly, but he repressed it and continued on his way.
He managed to find her apartment with ease, and he knocked on the door despite his feeling that it was already unlocked. "Jessica?" he called softly, trying the doorknob. It gave way as he twisted it, and he peered inside to see her staring blankly on the couch.
His reaction was visceral. He had seen his own sister curled up like that with tears down he face and William cringed. He was horrible at dealing with other people's feelings; hell he was terrible at dealing with his own, but he set the insecurities aside for a moment and walked in, locking the door behind him.
With a sigh, he sat next to her on the couch, unsure of what to say. Fitz would have gone for a joke, Lizzie would have started water for tea, but his sister would have simply hugged her and waited for her to be ready to speak. It seemed that Gigi's instincts we're the ones he would channel, so William drew her into him and waited.
