“hey, mr. adult. glad you’ve finally caught up with the rest of us.” it’s said with a shit-eating grin, arm slung across jeremy’s shoulders. it’s just them right now, christine preparing some kind of surprise. like last year his gift isn’t anything big, a small trinket he saw at the mall that immediately brought jeremy to mind. “happy 18th, jer.” - amazingfeat
birthday boy !!
Michael’s cheshire-esque grin is infectious, and Jeremy finds a smile slipping onto his features in turn— softer, but just as bright. He rolls his eyes with the first comment, leaning into his side ( unaware that he’s even doing so ; falling into Michael is second nature ). The adult part hasn’t quite sunk in, and Jeremy’s sure later he’s going to panic about that fact, but for now he just wants to enjoy his birthday with his two favorite people. Smile grows a touch at the little trinket, turning his hips so he’s facing Michael a bit more directly, leaning forward to hover his lips.

※ JENNA MARBLES SENTENCE STARTERS, PT. XV ※
He’s hovering the edge of the chair, Michael’s hand tight in his own as gaze flicks between his friend’s expression and the tattoo gun currently pressed against his upper arm. It had been Michael’s idea, and therefore Michael had to go first— for which Jeremy is both thankful and horrified by. Watching the process on someone just as clueless as he is gives a pretty good indication of what he’s in for. And while the idea of matching tattoos sounds awesome, he’s beginning to wonder if it’s worth this ; a sketchy parlor that didn’t require any parental permission, a half-baked idea ( originally a joke— really, what were they thinking? ) and a needle gun.

John Mulaney Sentence Starters
“I hate this. Michael,”
Name whined, brows furrowed and a clear frown in his expression. Pencil has been tossed across the table in frustration ; they’ve been at this for at least an hour and a half, and Jeremy’s patience is running out. Math has always come easier to his best friend, which led to separate math classes and the occasional tutoring session whenever a topic was particularly challenging ( which tended to be most of them, as the years of high school went on ). As much as Jeremy was thankful for the help, he also hated the sessions ( noticeably struggling did little for his confidence, only serving to make the redhead feel dumber than he did most of the time ).
“Can we do anything else? I’ll just fail the test– it’s fine. Just, literally anything but this.”
here too cause he’s significantly louder than anyone right now -- like this and I’ll toss jer in your ask sometime over the next few days during my study breaks. possibly multiple times. who knows!
