closed starter for @jrndlph
the weather was perfect for a run. shirtless, with basketball shorts and an armband to hold his phone, wesley was at it. he was huge on exercise and it showed. of course he had other bad habits that shall not be named, but he cares a lot about his physical appearance. it’s been two hours going at it, sweating, breathing hard, but determined. he makes it to the park, continuing his run on the sidewalk. once, twice, then a third time circling the place, until he stops himself for a second to grab a sip of water by the water fountain. when wiping his mouth with the back of his hand once he’s done, that’s when wesley see’s him. him – that little shit. none other than his former co star in the short slasher film, out of the woods. they were love interests in the movie, but outside of it? jupiter made it obvious that he wasn’t a fan of wesley. more than that, he showed disdain towards him, which admittedly, baffled the french male. he likes to tell himself he’s any gay man’s type ( ever the narcissist ), yet, jupiter just wouldn’t budge. unfortunately for wesley, that just peeked his interest even more. obviously, he was real smart, something wesley clearly wasn’t, but he doesn’t think he needs to match his level of intelligence to be worthy of his time. he was just so mean to him and gave him zero attention and it honestly drove wesley mad… why does he care so much about what his bratty former co star thinks of him?
his mind is screaming at him to continue running, to pretend like he didn’t even notice him sitting there, on the bench, reading a book. however, his impulsive actions overtake him ( as always ), and he finds himself slowly jogging towards him, coming to a stop once he’s right in front of him, blocking the sun. ❝were you staring at me?❞ he questions, truthfully not sure if he had been, but unable to resist the urge to tease him, a playful smirk playing on his lips as he placed a hand on his hip while the other wiped his forehead. his emerald colored eyes glance down at the title of his book, having never seen or heard of it before. ❝is the book… good?❞ truthfully, he doesn’t care, he just wanted an excuse to talk to him. ❝i was thinking of maybe attempting to read at least one book a month,❞ fat ass lie considering he can barely get through a tmz article without dozing off, ❝do you have any recs?❞
