YES EBFAVS/TAYLOR YES!!!!!
this isn’t REALLY that but
so maybe at one point emily and jon have the talk about exceptions. they’re gonna be faithful to each other, of course they are, but there’s gotta be that one person they’re allowed to break their vows for, someone they’d never really have a chance with, but who they get to hook up with if hell freezes over and the opportunity is there.
“taylor,” says emily immediately. she’d never say it out loud, but she’s looked carefully at taylor and karlie together and privately she thinks maybe she could be taylor’s type. realistically she’ll never even get to meet her, but just in case, she wants jon to pre-approve.
jon’s eyes light up. “obviously. no problem. go for it!”
he’s actually too enthusiastic. “shut up, sleazeball,” emily says. “now who’s yours?”
she expects him to answer immediately. it’s not like anyone could miss how worshipfully jon’s eyes follow the president whenever they’re in the same room. still, jon takes a moment to think about it.
“it’s okay, jon,” says emily, when she’s tired of waiting. “i already know how you feel about obama.”
“oh,” says jon. “right, haha.”
emily leans in for a kiss. “honestly though babe? i think my exception’s way more of a sure thing.”
when jon considers this conversation later, he barely remembers how in that moment of hesitation, for a split second he thought of someone else. it’s just weird how minds work, that’s all. anyway, emily and taylor would be crazy hot together. he thinks about that instead.
