is it just me or does amy tend to kiss jake to prove a point???
not just any point though. a point that says, “damn it jake, you’re constantly beating yourself up even though your heart is so kind and you’re the best partner to have and i love you so damn much”
their first kiss was tentative, like they were venturing in uncharted territory that actually turned out to be a familiar love consisting of mutual respect and friendship
but as their relationship progressed, amy became more and more aware of how low jake’s self esteem can get, especially with her. he thinks the world of her and figures he’s not good enough for her. so she kisses him passionately
and she kisses him gently
she always has her hand on either the side of his neck or the back of his head and she’s not smiling because this is a serious matter. jake expecting her to move on from him, to fall out of love with him is serious and she needs him to know it’s all just in his head
