quick question, why does pea still have his thing with josie? does he not realize he likes asp or did they have a fallout or something? and how did aspeggie happen bc im hopping on this ship like there’s no tomorrow.
why does pea still have his thing with josie is literally the question aspen and e v e r y o n e she knows is asking when s3 comes around. basically, the short story is that after the mills family had to move out of the wyrm and ended up with the d’angelo’s aspen started spending less and less time with sweet pea. not because she didn’t want to, but because she was busy working trying to keep her family afloat, or helping out the d’angelo family as thanks for keeping her own family off the streets. she’s busy, and she tells sweet pea that and for some reason he takes it to mean that they’re over, that she’s done with him and with them. basically he throws a tantrum and decides that if it’s not how he wants it to be, then it shouldn’t be anything at all.
aspen finds out about him and josie for the first time at the end of summer party at thistlehouse and to say she is heartbroken is an understatement. reggie sees her whilst she is seeing them and he makes his way over “sucks doesn’t it, I dated josie for a bit last semester...she’s a nice girl, if that helps?” - it doesn’t help but aspen appreciates the gesture. “we could make out if you wanted? maybe over there where you’d be right in his eye line?” aspen gives reggie a side eye, he’s chewing on his bottom lip and shrugging, he’s got nothing to loose at this point and making out with a hot serpent chick would be an excellent way to end a pretty decent summer...and so...aspen does it, she takes him by the hand and walks him to the other side of the pool and she kisses him hard. he kisses her back, and sweet pea watches in absolute horror.
