How would they (the friends) react to seeing Jesse crying?
I feel like Radar would be panicking because he idolizes them so seeing them cry would make him go like “Crap, what do I do”
OKAY SO! (claps hands like you're about to be in for a several hour lecture)
it really just depends on who it is. for this, I'll include everyone that's considered in the close-ish category, since it can really happen in any season and at any time.
you're totally right about radar-- he's not good at emotions and he's rather a more logical thinker, so the mix of not knowing how to handle properly comforting jesse and not knowing what's /making/ them upset would cause him to freak out a little. that and it's also scary to see someone he holds so highly finally breaking. this means that he'd to one of two things-- either he'd scramble to find things to cheer his boss up, or he'd try to give them space while they work things out with themself.
petra would be taken aback by suddenly finding her friend like this, but then again, she cried in front of jesse.. so after her moment of initial shock, she'd probably give them a really big hug and comfort them the best she can. she isn't the best with words, but damn does she give good hugs. she's definitely seen Jesse cry a few times.
lukas is certainly more of a words and feelings guy, but like petra, he'd be surprised. however, it would take him less time to recover-- and he'd be by their side, hugging them in an instant. since the man is good with words and has been with our dear protagonist since the beginning, he knows what to say right. he's also definitely seen jesse crying.
I don't believe jack or nurm really got to bond with jesse too much in terms of what would be required for this situation.. but nurm would totally try to comfort them (nurm is totally the kinda fella that just wants to help people), and jack would either back away or very hesitantly and awkwardly try to talk to them.
ivor.. he's goofy, and he's a mix of logical and emotional. so he'd certainly be surprised to see Jesse crying, but he knew it was going to happen eventually. depending on the severity, he'd either comfort them or allow them their space. for comfort, though, he'd probably try to empathize with them in an attempt to lessen their guilt.
now, for the two who've seen him cry the most out of everyone..
AXEL! he isn't a words guy, but we know he's emotional when it comes to big things. so he may try to awkwardly comfort Jesse with words, yes.. but he also gives the most comforting bear hugs ever. he then he cheers jesse up by threatening to punch whatever is making them cry-- which then leads to him joking that he's gonna punch THEM if they don't stop treating themself so badly. (axel never fails to cheer Jesse up by making them laugh.)
olivia is rational, but she's very good with words. not only would she be soothing in terms of what she says.. but she's also probably rub circles on jesse's back and talk them through why they're feeling so bad at that moment. usually it ends in jesse calming down and apologizing for crying, but she's always super understanding of the fact that they can't always be strong.

Can you do an alternate version of the pregnancy request, that Lea/Axel finds out his S/O is pregnant and S/O is super nervous and scared.
I’m baaaaack!! And I skipped ahead to write this one because it’s been on my mind for a couple days to write. (Side note: I’m adding summaries to all of the actual fic pages because I should have been the whole time -_- whoops!)
I Should Tell You
Summary: Reader is pregnant, but Axel let it slip one day that he’s not sure if he’s ready for kids. The reader has no choice but to tell him, and she’s hoping he’ll change his mind.
Warnings: Sensitive topic?
You stared nervously at your reflection in the full length mirror in your bedroom, hands softly rubbing on your tummy. It seemed like only yesterday you took the pregnancy test—well, three pregnancy tests to be exact— that revealed you were definitely with-child. You remembered how anxious and excited you were at the same time; your heart fluttered and you felt weightless with joy. After years of dreaming that one day you’d be a mom, that dream finally turned into a reality.
Now five months pregnant, your feelings were completely reversed. Mainly because you have yet to tell Axel the news. To be honest, you’ve never been more scared in your life. Forget battling tons of Heartless and Nobodies and even taking a shot at Master Xehanort: telling Axel made your palms sweat and heart drop down to your toes.
When you first found out, you were fully planning on telling Axel. You were practically jumping up and down when you told him you had something to tell him, but you kept a straight face just to try throwing him off. Unfortunately…it didn’t work.
���Please tell me you’re not pregnant,” he had said.
“I—what?”
“It’s just…well, I don’t think we’re there yet, you know? We’ve only talked about the next couple years. I think we have some more growing to do as a couple first before having a child, that’s all.”
Your heart sank instantly. He sorta did have a point, as much as you didn’t want to admit it. The two of you had only discussed the next few years together, which included getting engaged and married after being a couple for two years. So yeah, having a kid now would kinda rush things.
Right?
Your mind said no. You wanted this baby more than anything in your entire life, and you knew nothing would stop that. Axel would stay by your side no matter what, and you knew that with all your heart. But a little voice inside you kept whispering “What if…?” for weeks on end, and so you’ve put off telling him until the time was right.
Which had to be today. You were running out of clothes that could cover your now growing belly, and Axel was bound to notice. Taking a deep breath, you gazed at your reflection one more time before walking to the kitchen where Axel was fixing himself up some lunch.
“Smells good in here,” you said a little too perky.
Axel eyed you carefully. “Really? Don’t you hate the smell of tuna?”
Whoops. Way to watch out for your pregnancy-hyped nose.
“Right, yeah gross. Anyways, Axel? Can we talk for a minute?”
“Sure, what’s up?”
“There’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while now,” you started slowly. “I’m sorry for keeping it from you for so long, but I was honestly so scared to tell you. I still am. But I know I have to say something now before it’s too late.”
“[Y/N], you’re starting to worry me. What is it?” Axel stopped making his sandwich and walked over to you, taking your hands in his. You always loved how much bigger his hands were compared to yours; they were soft but firm, and always warm.
“I’m—I’m pregnant.”
A loud silence filled the room. Axel’s eyes were wide as he stared at you, unsure how to respond. After a few agonizing seconds more, a smile crept on his face. “Are you really?”
“You’re okay with this?”
“Okay?? Are you kidding me!? [Y/N], I couldn’t be more excited! We’re going to be parents! I’m going to be a dad!” Axel grabbed you in a big bear hug and lifted you up off your feet, swinging you around the kitchen. “How far along are you?”
“Five months. I’m starting to show a little,” you giggled. Axel instantly bent down and placed a hand on your stomach, feeling around at the child growing inside you.
“I can’t believe this,” he smiled.
“Neither can I,” you said. “But, I’m surprised you’re this excited about it. Considering you said you didn’t…” Tears started welling up in your eyes.
Axel looked up at you, his expression changing to a pained one. “I…said that?”
You nodded as the tears fell from your face, your shoulders now shaking from your uncontrollable sobs. “I was so afraid you were going to leave…”
“[Y/N], I would never! Not in a million years. I’m sorry I said that; I wish I knew what I was thinking. Clearly, I wasn’t… But I promise: I want this child with you because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“I love you too, Ax,” you said.
Axel kissed the length of your hand down your arm until he found your sensitive spot on your neck and suckled there for a moment. He placed one kiss on your forehead before brushing his lips against yours, the taste of tuna lingering on his breath.
“I’m starving,” you laughed.
“Well, let’s take care of feeding Momma,” he said. “Good thing I got lunch started.”
“You know what would make this better?? Pickles and mustard!”
“Oh God, no!” Axel stuck his tongue out in disgust. “I guess the cravings are kicking in?”
“Hey, what baby wants, baby gets!”
