making my tags on this old post by @batsarebetterthanpeople into their own post bc i can. anyway modern calicojack au:
#ok but im obsessed w the idea that somehow jack doesnt know ed is gay#(either bc ed is still in the closet at 19 or jack is just really fucking unobservant. probably the 2nd one)#and they fuck for like a year before they drift apart somehow idk maybe one of them moves or something#and they ''keep in touch'' aka occasionally send nudes on snapchat and hook up if theyre in town#so when jack comes out as bi 5 years later it's on facebook or smthng. instagram. idk.#but then he DMs ed like:#''hey blackie long time no fuck haha anyway ive done some soul searching and i think fucking you in the ass WAS kinda gay-''#''-but it's okay bc im not like GAY gay. i like fucking bros AND bitches but when i fuck bros i'm not like a girl about it yknow? so like-'#''-i just wanted to reach out bc i've been thinking abt all the times we helped each other out and like-''#''-bro u liked taking it up the ass WAY too much for a straight guy. like u might wanna do some soul-searching abt that.''#and he ends this with a dick pic and a winky face emoji and the sentence ''to help you self-reflect''#meanwhile ed owns a gay bar and has a rainbow flag in his uhhh facebook profile or instagram bio idk#ed texts back ''jack im gay'' and then jack thinks that his text is how ed discovered his sexuality. ed never corrects him.
