A/N: Super unlikely that I'll do anymore of these for him. I just felt like doing this for a request.

General: ꩜ I feel like he never dries his hair, like ever. He gets out of the shower, maybe pats it once or twice with his towel, but mostly, he just lets it drip dry, even if that means the back of his shirt gets soaked every single time.

꩜ Johnathan seems the type to very carefully think before he speaks. He grew up watching his father berate everyone and wants so badly to be different. ꩜ He probably hates having his picture taken. It feels too vulnerable and raw and it makes his skin crawl. ꩜ He'd drop everything for Will at a moment's notice, no matter how important. Their dad never showed up for them, so Johnathan makes sure that he's always showing up for Will.

Dating: ꩜ If you were dating, he'd be taking pictures of you all day every day. He'd spend so much money on film that he'd be picking up extra shifts just to make sure he never ran out. A part of him isn't sure you'll stick around, so he's desperate to surround himself with as many memories of you as possible. ꩜ Johnathan would absolutely want dirty pictures of you, but he'd be too shy to ask. If you brought it up, he'd be tripping over himself, scrambling to find his camera before you even finish your sentence. ꩜ You'd have to make a lot of the first moves. He doesn't seem like he has very much experience and he's a bit awkward, so he'd need a little guidance. ꩜ I do think he'd be a good boyfriend, though. He'd be incredibly loyal and would spend what little money he didn't pool into the household funds to take you out.

𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙖𝙧𝙮: Jonathan, needing a job, and you needing a photographer for your work, meet as you try to finish your grad work

𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩: Fluff, confession, I have war flashbacks when it comes to the one botany course I took last semester, this also isn’t proofread so sorry for any misspellings 💔

It’s been a few months since Jonathan has started college at NYU, and he needs to get a job. He didn't account for how much money he would be spending on food, textbooks, supplies, it was all amounting, and quick.

He didn't really have that many marketable skills, he didn't have a job before college so he didn't have the same base level experience that his colleagues had. But he did have photography; and he was good at it. So, when he heard that a botany student needed a photographer to take photos of their plant cells, he quickly took the job.

It was his first day, and he expected it to be fairly simple, take pictures, leave, not bother whoever it is he's working for. Until he met you.

You were a grad student working on your thesis. You focused on lichens and how their environment shows evolution since the Triassic period. And god were you quick on your feet. Bounding around from one microscope to another, writing down notes in your notebook or on post-its, trying to work quickly. However your momentum is stopped when you hear someone clear their throat. You look up and see a boy holding a camera, looking nervously at you.

“You’re the new photographer? Johnathan, right? Okay sure. Keep up, I have a busy day for you, honestly I didn't want a photographer to enter my lab until I was almost done but my professor insisted that I had to do it right now. Anyways follow me, I need to show you what you can't touch” you tell him, walking around the lab.

He doesn't get a chance to answer anything as he follows you quickly, writing down notes about everything. You explain your samples, the different lichens and why they're important, and the samples he's not allowed to touch. To Jonathan, the tour was mostly telling him things he can't touch.

At the end of the impromptu “tour” you gave him (it was more of a 3 minute walk through) you bring him back to the front of the lab, handing him a pair of goggles,

“You’re not gonna touch anything, but safety” You say before getting back to one of the microscopes you have out.

“Uh, I cant wear these when Im taking pictures” He says quietly, trying to find some place to set them down.

You look up at him, taking a few seconds before sighing and going back to you work, “Ok fine but don't cry to me if lichens end up in your eyes” You say, writing something down,

“Ill take my chances” Jonathan says as he walks around carefully, taking photos of your previous plants and your equipment.

He continues taking photos until his camera lands on you over a microscope. At first, he tries to focus on just the microscope, but the camera finds your face, concentration and satisfaction on it as you change the sample plate.

Jonathan takes a few photos of you, capturing everything he can of you until the film is full of pictures of you.

The hours pass by, Jonathan taking pictures and you filling your second notebook. At the end you finally put your papers down, sighing in relief as you hang your lab coat on your bag.

Jonathan notices the end of your day and quickly runs up to you for approval of the photos before he can edit them. “Hey can I show you these?” He asks you

You look up at him, a wave of tiredness hitting you as you grab the camera. You sift through them, photos of equipment, samples, lichens, your notes, they all looked good. However as you reach about halfway through the photos, Jonathan quickly snatches the camera from you, his face turning a soft shade of red.

“Those are bad shots, don't worry about them” he says quickly.

You look at him suspiciously, grabbing the camera from him again and looking at the photos he didn't want you to see.

You see all the photos of you, your hands with your pencil, your mouth smiling softly at the sample, your eyes focused. You looked perfect. You keep going through the photos, each one highlighting a new aspect of you.

You hand the camera back to him, your face pink, “Those are also good” you say quietly.

“Thanks” he replies quickly, “Ill uh, see you next week then” he says before rushing out.

Soon enough, you two formed your routine. You run around your lab for supplies and extra lichens. And Jonathan follows you, camera in hand as he asks questions about flora. You always answer his questions, helping you also be able to make your thesis as precise as possible so even he would understand. Finally at the end of the day, he would show you the photos he took, a smile on your face as you approve them all.

You two fall into the rhythm comfortably, yet neither seem to take the extra step forward. You can feel yourself falling for him, yet you don't want to say anything about it. You’re busy with your paper and have no time, plus, you doubt Jonathan would even say yes.

After a few more weeks the day to present your research arrives, you’ve dressed up the best you can as you wait outside the conference room, pacing as you read your notes, trying to calm yourself down,

“Is this really the best time to take pictures?” You ask, half serious and half joking,

“What? I gotta capture the moment before your paper gets approved” he jokes, snapping another picture of you staring at the camera, making you laugh,

“Let’s not get our hopes up, if the board doesn't like it then I have to redo the whole thing and that's another year for me” you groan, continuing your pacing and mumbling your speech to yourself,

“You’ll be fine, nothing is going to happen. Your research will get approved as you’ll be okay. You even taught me about plants and stuff” Jonathan smiles,

“Lichens, and thanks” you smile, sitting down next to him as you sigh, trying to calm your nerves.

You two sit in silence, you re-reading your notes as Jonathan snaps pictures, smiling at the photos he's taken of you.

Jonathan takes a deep breath before he looks at you,

“Hey I just wanted to say something” He says, stopping your thoughts as you look at him, “I just wanted to say that I-“ he starts, but then the door to the conference room opens and you know its time.

“Shit Im not ready” you say, standing up and trying to look professional as you walk to the door,

“You’ll do amazing, I promise” Jonathan smiles. You sigh and smile back, stepping into the room.

Jonathan waits outside, sifting through his pictures and waiting for you to come out. He watches the minutes go by, and by the half house mark he starts to grow anxious.

Suddenly, he sees the door open and watches as you say goodbye to the board reviewing your paper. As the door finally closes, you run up to Jonathan smiling.

“Im guessing it went good” Jonathan says, smiling as you celebrate

“It got approved!” You laugh hugging him,

“I told you it would go good” He smiles, hugging you back, laughing with you

As the laughter dies down and the hug breaks you look up at Jonathan, “thanks for taking pictures for my research, the board said they were really good” you compliment, blushing a bit,

“Well maybe they were the reason you got approved” He teases, making your eyes roll,

“Yeah because you were the one that figured out Lichens can survive negative temperatures and low gravity” you tease, making him laugh.

You such his face as he laughs, smiling at him. Then, before you could register your actions, you cup his face and kiss him.

You feel him tense up, making you pull away quickly.

“Shit Im so sorry I was caught up in the moment and I-“ you explain quickly, but get cut off by him kissing you again.

This time, the kiss lasts, his hands on your waist and your hands on his hair.

When the kiss breaks, he smiles at you,

“Well I guess I don't have to tell you what I was going to before your meeting” Jonathan smiles,

“You were going to kiss me before my meeting? You ass I would have walked in that conference not knowing what to say” You gasp, laughing as you hit him jokingly,

“I wasn't going to kiss you, I was going to say I like you” he says, making you smile at him,

“At least it wasn't going to be a kiss” you tease, kissing his cheek, “but I like you too”

Jonathan smiles at your words, his hand finding yours, “Hey uh, would you want to go out for dinner? To celebrate of course” He says, his cheeks pink.

You laugh, grabbing your things as you walk by his side, squeezing his hand, “maybe not to celebrate, but I'll accept a date” you tease,

“Okay, its a date then”
