OBSESSED with the idea that when jerejean kisses in the next book, Jeremy thinks Jean just wants him for sex, cuz like everyone does, so why would this be different? And so they make out a few times here or there and Jeremy keeps on making little sex jokes now and then bc he knows it’s coming and this will end soon and he has to be ok with that bc what else is he good for in the end but then like. Jean gets him something. A small gift. Maybe a handmade bracelet he made with Cat or something. And Jeremy’s like “oh. That’s nice” and he’s confused bc shouldn’t this be over with by now? Why is Jean trying to be so nice about it? And so then he’s like “you know, I know we’re not dating or anything. That’s not what this is about lol, you don’t have to get me anything” and Jean just. frowns. and he says “oh. well then I don’t think I want this. sorry” and he acts so nonchalant about it even tho it hurts him SO BAD bc of course he can’t have this. of course. And Jeremy’s just absolutely astounded. And he’s like “you wanna DATE me?” And Jean’s honesty is painful but ofc it is and he says “yes. But I understand that you don’t want that, so this should end now” and Jeremy’s like “nonono WAIT” and THATS how they end up dating
