Reason:
“Mike is obsessed with making Jay laugh and he’s always looking over at Jay to make sure he succeeds. Also they met on a film forum online and they connected because they loved each others’ stuff and appreciated that neither of them took themselves super seriously like everyone else on there. ALSO. Mike moved to Milwaukee to be closer to Jay.”
(this turned out to be only ONE dumb mediocre idea, dont even get me started on dudebros or siddex stuff (unless you want me to o_O) )
I have a lot of thoughts about the quarantine arc and how being stuck in close proximity at Plinkett’s would drive them both up the wall but they are so used to each other that its actually not that much of a big deal and they just act like an old married couple. Like mike gets all shitty and is always fidgeting with things and jay notices how antsy he is and hes like stAHP and starts giving him ideas for things to do like "we need groceries, heres a list" and maybe mike is like stressed/bored eating so jay makes a point of putting healthy food on there and gets cranky with mike when he comes back with more junk. To prove a point, jay goes out to get veggies and stuff and mikes sulking in the corner when he gets back. Thats until he starts cooking and mikes like what the fuck ? He's never seen jay cook before and something about seeing him in the kitchen making them dinner makes something in mikes brain snap. The food isn't great, but the bar is pretty low, and its enough to convince mike to stick to jays list from then on. (Of course mike is made to do the dishes after)
And then mike starts complaining about how his mask feels like it doesn't fit right. Jays been cleaning up the basement for lack of anything better to do (tried to convince mike to help but he was disgusted but also concerned about jay going about it alone) but he finds a sewing machine and some old clothes or something, mike is still sulky and stubborn but jay slams it down in front of him and is like "if it's that bad, just make your own fucking mask" and walks off and days later, with nothing else going on, mike just starts sewing. He eventually figures out how to make a mask that fits more comfortably, and its not bad. Maybe makes one for jay too but hes too embarrassed to give it to him in earnest, so he uses some hideous floral pattern and tucks into the pocket of jays jacket to replace the disposable one he usually keeps in there
Mike then goes on a rampage and starts hemming the curtains and altering waistbands that don't need altering and they have only so many items of clothing so jay orders some yarn and crochet hook online and leaves it on top of the mutilated pile of fabric next to mikes chair. Cue cozy scenes in the evening when the weather turns cold, of mike watching movies and crocheting some kind of mess of yarn (its a hat for jay but thats a secret) while Jay makes dinner and they idly talk about whatever on tv
Im sorry this is so rambly and aimless i swear i have other better ideas lurking dormant in my mind, i just need the right Specifications
In ep 36 of hitb mike’s pretending to be plinkett and tells jay to “grab a wig” the implication being that theyre going to pretend to be plinkett and his gf for free movie tickets and I have much to consider..
Mike rocking up to collect his movie tickets, he's doing his best plinkett impression, hes got a walker or something and, ofc hes playing up the Dirty Old Man thing. He's groping at Jay and being all lecherous, licking his lips and calling him 'baby' (which makes jay cringe terribly.) When the guy asks why his girlfriend has a beard hes like 'mind your own goddamn business' and then turns to jay like 'dont listen to him, baby, he's just jealous that I'm pounding the hottest piece of ass in milwaukee' (which makes jay wsnt to throw the stupid wig in mikes face and tell him to get fucked for being an asshole because he knows jay isnt happy with his looks, and coming from mike the teasing somehow feels more painful. instead, he just blushes amd prays for death when mike slings his arm around his waist)
Mike insisting on keeping up the act in the cinema and loudly saying shit like 'I hope we're sitting up the back so you can give me a handjob' while they're in the concession queue and jay is so fucking embarrased. When they finally get into the theatre, Mike's still being all handsy and jay asks if he has to keep the wig on and mikes like 'yes, jay, they have cameras and surveillance shit. We have to keep up the act until the movie's over'
Jay fucking hates it. Hes been getting turned on by mikes weird physical acting and now that theyre in the dark sitting next to each other he's affraid of his mind wandering or reacting in turn. When mike leans into him with a hand halfway up his thigh and stage whispers: 'c'mon, sexy, just a quick bj' jay kind of snaps cuz it's so fucking unfair that his brain and body are reacting so strongly but in totally different ways. He whispers harshly something about how mike could at least not be a fucking asshole by calling him names and trying to touch his tits or something, he doesnt quite catch what comes out of his mouth, he just feels some emotions coming out.
Mike doesn't apologise, but he has the decency to look away and loosen his grip on Jay's thigh, his hand having slid down to his knee at some point. He doesnt remove it, and jay can feel mikes thumb rubbing a spot on his skin in a way that he's not sure hes ready to look too deep into. He gives his knee a squeeze before removing his hand, and jay puffs out some kind of sigh before mikes arm is sitting heavy over his shoulders. 'For th--'
'for the cameras, yeah. I get it.' And jay focusses super hard on the movie instead of the conflicting feelings at the back of his mind or how mike is kind of warm and soft and how it could be so easy to lean into his shoulder, but instead he pushes everything down in favour of scrutinising a fucking batman movie.
oh myGOD what if there was a mix up or shenanigans in Vegas during the wedding arc that somehow meant the jay and plinkett were like technically legally married or something
completely disgustingly obsessed with accidental/incidental domesticity tropes like accidental child acquisition, fake married, and so on
and I had like a stress induced feverish concept the other day of like plinkett dies so obviously mike is like I'll steal his identity and start claiming his benefits and for some reason he gets asked about being married by someone idk and Jay's there and hea like yeah this is my wife and people asking are just like "...okay."
it's stupid and goes nowhere but I was like This is great, committing to the bit and fraudulent activity should be the thing that brings them together
