Theysit in the Room of a Thousand Fountains, knees brushing as they fallinto meditation. They’ve been doing this since they grew up in thecrèche together – Geoff always found it easier to reach thattranquil place within the Force if he was touching Jack in one way oranother. He didn’t cling to the thought, just let it sweep throughhis mind and be carried away by the waves of the Force.
Hecould feel Jack as a warm spot next to him, an easy connectionthrough the Force due to their phsyical contact. He sent him a waveof warm affection, letting the emotion dissipate in the Force but notbefore he enveloped Jack in the feeling.
Stop trying todistract me, Jack chided, butfondness cloaked his words. Geoff chuckled. Seriously,focus.
I am focussed,Geoff replied, accompanied with an approximation of a leer. You’rebeautiful in the Force.
Geoff…
You are,he insisted, focussing on Jack’s essence and trying to mirror it backat him. Warmth, safety, home, the smell of jasmine teamixing with ardees, the feeling of the sun warming his face, asteadying hand on his shoulder-
Surprise.Bafflement. A little embarassment and pride.The emotions brushed against Geoff’s presence as they were releasedinto the Force, and he opened his eyes to watch Jack’s face.Outwardly calm and collected, deep in a meditative trance, it was yeteasy for Geoff to make out his nervous tells.
Thetwitching of a finger. The line of his brows. The tilt of his head,the tension in his shoulder. The curve of his lips.
Hislips.
Geoffdropped out of his lotus seat, glancing around. It was late in theevening, and they were the only ones left within the large hall. Noone left to scold him for attachment, to lecture him on the pitfallsof connecting with another sentient being. Determined, he turned backto Jack, only to catch the worried look in his warm, brown eyes.
“Geoff,”he whispered, and Geoff reached out to catch his hand.
“It’sfine,” he replied, squeezing. “I love you. Have since forever.And it hasn’t hurt us in all these years, has it? I’m alreadyattached, Jack.”
Jackbit his lip, ducking his head as he thought. Geoff let him, knowinghe would come to the same conclusion.
“Then…we are both compromised,” he breathed, lifting his head. Geoffstared at him, nodding slowly. Jack smiled. “What does it matter,then, if we acknowledge this… folly. It changes nothing about thesituation.”
“Itdoesn’t,” Geoff murmured, shifting onto his knees and leaningforward.
Jeremy. Gavin isn’t as good with eh genuine emotion stuff. It scares Gavin honestly the first time Jeremy said it because it just shows how much this is Real and Dangerous but fuck if Gavin doesn’t love him back.
Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background
Gavin has one of Jeremy “is a fucking normal outfit for once” he claims he has just so he can remind himself of what Jeremy looks like not covered in that god awful purple and orange. (Really its because it’s a picture in Jeremy in a tank top and those fucking glorious arms showing perfectly in the light)
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
Gavin probably did it at first as a joke. Saying something like “Congrats you’re clean!”. But then Jeremy started doing little hearts. And now it’s just a competition of who can draw the most hearts on the thing.
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
“Buy” is a loose term. But definitely Gavin. He loves giving little knickknacks he can steal to Jeremy. Though Jeremy has probably gotten some of his own cheesy things to Gavvers
Who initiated the first kiss
Hm. Maybe Gavin. I don’t really have any specifics in mind on it
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
Jeremy the big sap
Who starts tickle fights
GAVIN. tho he immediately regrets it cause while he’ll start it, Jeremy will finish it
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
Gavin does the lil shit. Jeremy can barely get through a shower undisturbed. (Not that he minds of course)
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
I mean, they tend to just be together a lot? When their work is the same, this doesn’t apply as well. Though Jeremy will often bring Gavin food while he’s busy hacking just to make sure the other eats.
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
Both of them of course. Tho it manifests in different ways. Jeremy is the more “normal” nervousness. The stuttering, the shaking hands, the sweats. Gavin, however, has the weird coping mechanisms of the Golden Boy and so starts the date with being overly flirty and a bit obnoxious but once Jeremy’s calling him out on it, he drops it. They both relax eventually and actually have a nice time.
Who kills/takes out the spiders
After like five minutes of being fucking scared and jumpy, eventually, somehow the spider ends up dead. Who kills it is usually just a matter of whose shoe eventually hits the spider.
Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk
Gavin isn’t the type to do it loudly, but he will hang all over Jeremy and slur about all the things he loves about him.
I think I called you Ingno first? Because in the chat somebody always said No Ingno No.
I mean, yeah. I guess it’s also a timeline thing, since I started out as Ingno on this side first :D And I called you Eye soooo. I kinda forget about that bc we only got close comparatively recent xD
And then Fira started the whole Missy thing and Ame kept at it and I guess it kinda persisted? A lot of the old chat folks still call me mainly Ingno or swap 50-50.
Just answered the last, so second-last one was. Huh. I can’t go into too much detail but, remember the Doolraywood fahc relationship angst we talked about? I was plotting something for that late at night about two weeks ago that made me tear up a little. Poor, poor Jeremy.
16. favorite movie
I always have such trouble to answer this xD I really liked Big Hero Six, I can always rewatch Pirates of the Carribean, and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron is definitely an all time fave. Growing up I really enjoyed Disney’s Hercules (the movie, not the series) and I’ll watch Drei Nüsse für Aschenbrödel every Christmas. It’s the best.
Ask me again whenever I managed to get my hands on Moana because I wasn’t able to see it in cinema (for the same reason I had to get surgery, sooo).
Iced Coffee : Do you like reading? If so, what’s your favorite book?
I do! More fanfic these days than books, so my favourite book doesn’t update often (the Black Magician Trilogy was the last book series I honestly enjoyed). I have a few fics I keep returning to, though.
If anyone ever wants fic recs, lemme know. I love making rec lists out of my bookmarks.
