JFK with an S/O who’s into divination (Tarot, Runes etc)
Lemme say, impressing this boy isn’t terribly difficult. So if you give him a love reading and he gets death and the magician reversed, he’s gonna have his mind blown and will probably try his best to avoid Cleo. Keyword: try.
“Woah woah woah...woah. You er uh, got some KGB spies watchin me or uh something? How the hell did you know dat?”
Y’all first met when you were shuffling through your deck by yourself in the cafeteria, and Cleo had dared JFK to go talk to you so either you’d get embarrassed or he’d feel ashamed seen around you. Considering tarot was never really a part of history anyone remembers well, you weren’t exactly popular in chs. Everyone thought you were a recluse, but JFK learned different when he walked over.
The first thing he noticed was that actually, you had a pretty dope sense of fashion. Second, the cards. Not only were they drawn absolutely gorgeously, but even by looking at them he could feel in his heart what they meant, to some extent. It freaked him out a little, but it was also kinda fuckin cool. Bonus points if you hand drew them yourself ✨
So he sat down, low key scared the shit out of you with his sudden loud voice, but you began to talk. You were skeptical as to why he had come to you all of a sudden, not to mention why him of all people, but eventually he got so curious about the cards he asked for a reading.
Reluctantly you agreed, praying he wouldn’t use this against you somehow. Asking him what question he specifically had in mind, he would think for a moment, before asking for a reading in his love life. Both it’s current position, and an advice card. When he asked this, you could tell his gaze had softened a little, it surprised you. You thought he was all about banging broads but, the look in his eyes said different. You wondered if things with Cleo were okay. They probably weren’t.
You shuffled the deck and set out three piles, telling him to take three deep breaths and relax himself, but to keep the question in mind. He did so, and before you even told him what to do, he had his eyes set on the left. You would set the other two thirds of the deck away, and would again split that third into thirds. This time his eyes would land on the middle deck. You’d then set the cards up in 3 rows of 3, and told him to choose two cards that he felt a strong connection with. He chose the very middle, then the one right of it.
When you flipped the first card, your eyes widened a little bit. “This is interesting” you muttered. “What er uh, what is it? Is it bad?” He asked nervously. The more this reading went on, the more she felt like she could see the real him. Yes, he was macho and a crackhead but, there was a mega soft boy who needs hugs and validation in there too. Hopefully, the reading would give it to him. You looked him in the eyes with a gentle gaze. “Your first card is the queen of swords. That means that either you or the person you are with is very headstrong, very confident and very smart. Those can be good things, but I also sense a lot of manipulation coming from her. She is very aware of her queen like status, and may use it to harm you or someone else” you spoke, and John gulped. His gaze dropped a little, and you could tell it was starting to hit him a little bit. You’d flip over the other card, and smiled. “Your advice card or- future card, perhaps, is the six of cups. This card emits energy of childhood memories, reminiscence, and soulmates. From what I can tell, you have a very loving family. They will be there for you if something goes wrong with your lover. But even bigger than that, your soulmate is very close. He or she could be in this very room. Maybe you should take a step back and think about what it is you really want in a relationship, Kennedy” you hummed softly. The brunette would look at you, shocked. “You really think that I er-uh have a soulmate?” He asked, and you nodded. “Hmm, okay then shady card woman! I like the words I’m hearin!” He grinned in the most slanted way possible, probably so Cleo wouldn’t be suspicious if she was watching from afar. “Thanks, doll” he would say, before giving you a quick peck on the cheek. You’d immediately get flustered and, needless to say, it only took so long before the mans managed to move on from Cleo and asked you out.
Cleo um, she didn’t take the breakup well. Why? Of course it wasn’t because of losing JFK, she knew damn well she deserved a man who simped so hard he’d take his life if she asked him to. But, what she was pissed about was the fact that he was the one to leave, not her. She wasn’t used to that. Either way, expect yall’s relationship to be very sweet and wholesome, but also expect her to cause problems, occasionally. Salty queen hours.
In the beginning, he probably won’t open up to you a whole lot about how much of a s i m p he is in the inside, but you’ll pick up hints of it every time you do a reading on him. And you do quite a bit of em.
Eventually though, if you confront him about it, especially in a reading, he will begin to open up. He literally feels like he cannot lie to the cards, despite the fact he knows they don’t dictate everything he does.
If you have sage at home, expect this dude to burn it for no reason. It smells g o o d, he can’t help it.
Before every track meet, he’d ask for a reading to see what he should work on that day(endurance, etc). You keep telling him the cards can’t really decide really specific things like that but uh, he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, so you do it anyways to motivate him TvT
Eventually, he’ll start to memorize the cards and their meanings from how often you do them, and it t h r i l l s you. He keeps saying he doesn’t wanna become a shrink, but you can tell he wants to try and see if he can do a reading on you.
I can see this mans dragging you to buy clothes with him. He’s pretty confident in his clothing style but, he’d be lying if he said you didn’t have good taste yourself. And, he trusts your divine opinion.
Yes, he literally says that to you. Exactly. Your divine opinion is something he trusts 100%
If you made the cards yourself, this mans will know you’re very skilled with your hands(n o t in that way, though he may use that as a pickup line lmao), and knows damn well every gift you give him was crafted especially for him. Money cannot buy happiness after all, and he learned that from you. The two of you sometimes joke about that saying because of Cleo, but you never really badmouth her.
He’s not super protective of you. He’s quite confident that you are an honest person and that if you wanted to leave him, you’d tell him upfront. And he’s just confident that you’re the soulmate you had told him about when you first met.
He also questions you if you said that on purpose, and you s w e a r to god you didn’t. But it was pretty cool.
His dads don’t know whether to love or hate you.
On one hand they’ve noticed that he’s in general a lot more aware of things, but they don’t like that he has a tendency to come to you for everything
They just miss comforting their son, that’s all ❤️ they’re great though and love talking to you personally
I can see them inviting both you and JFK to watch Will and Grace with them, whether y’all a gae couple or not.
JFK probably wouldn’t hold back on telling you he’s bi, in all honesty. He trusts that you would keep it confidential unless he asked not to, and he knows you won’t use it against him.
Expect lots of cuddles and him often whispering “I swear to god, you’re an angel” in your ear a lot.
He really wants you to know just how much your opinion matters to him, and how much you in general matter to him. You’re the first down to earth and approachable person he’s met in his life.
Uh, yeah I literally did a reading for him for this especially, and no joke I got those two cards. It was really interesting 🤔 hope y’all liked it!
