* VillainousCrush: Heck Bast is implied to have one for Jack. Jack surmises that Heck is attracted to whatever Territories influence is present in him, and suspects that to be one of the reasons why [[StupidSexyFlanders Heck hates him so much]]. He definitely gets a little too excited by [[spoiler: Jack's torture at the hands of Sunlight Gardener.]]
** Sonny Singer may also have one for Jack. He seems a little too excited to accuse Jack and Wolf of being gay lovers.

* Squick: As the other entries on this page show, a *lot* of characters try to have sex with Jack or are implied to want to. This includes several boys his own age as well as multiple adult men. At one point Jack mentally dismisses it as part of being an attractive boy, weirdly.

This also includes an offhand reference to women getting groped in public also supposedly being perfectly normal.
