Thinkin' about the football player AU~ I feel like Jace would so imagine what highschool would of been like if none of his internalised homophobia woulda been there, and he could of just been with Y/n freely. He'd defo picture courting the reader, giving them gifts and starting off slow. Then once they are actually dating and as they both get older and through highschool (and Jace gets better at football and more popular) Jace's flirting gets more obvious and smugggg. Like leaning on reader's locker and callin' em pretty n shit! Jace would so imagine that the two coulda been theeeeeee IT couple and they coulda made so many memories; prom, football games, stargazing.
But all that imagining would defo bite Jace in the ass; he'd get so fucking upset when he remembers that's not how it went and that he instead was a total cunt to Reader. And that just leads to cuddling Y/n a little closer and a little tighter, along with some apologetic kisses with literally no explanation. Reader's confused but doesn't complain about the extra attention
(not gonna lie I got more of these so pls tell me to stop if they're annoying lol)
(literally I love your visions because you’re not annoying at all!)
UGH YES!!
Jacaerys is such a yearner…
I feel like Jacaerys wouldn’t consciously start thinking about how different high school could’ve been until he’s helping his alpha son buy courting gifts for the omega he has a crush on. It hits him when his son innocently asks “How did you court dad?” And suddenly Jacaerys has a flash back to how he treated (Y/n) in high school. Every insult, every time he spurned (Y/n) friendship, all of it. He awkwardly laughs, and tells him to ask (Y/n) instead. And he does and (Y/n) starts going on about all the nice things Jacaerys did when they reconnected leaving out all of the fucked up shit Jacaerys did to him, because (Y/n) forgives him, and (y/n) doesn’t want to bring up the past or change their son’s opinion of his sire.
it would start small Jacaerys would scent any clothes (Y/n) wears, he’d give him scented clothes, and (y/n) would just accept but he doesn’t know they’re make up courting gifts. Jacaerys would have sweet dreams at first. Picturing how’d you react when he gives you the first courting gift. The smile on your face, the tears maybe when you accept. Getting to walk you home, being in your space without fear. Walking through the school holding your hand watching as other people envy him, but being secure because you’re his. The two of you studying for finals together, late nights driving around doing nothing, the coffee runs when you’re still burning the candle at both ends. The way you’d fall asleep on his shoulder like he planned because you need the sleep, going to prom together, getting into the same college together. He’d go where you’d go without question. He’d be at all your concerts like he should’ve been. And that’s what starts the leak, ‘like he should’ve been.’, but he remembers, he wasn’t. He didn’t get any of that, and not because of any outside forces but because of what he did to you. Jacaerys knows you don’t hold it against him, if anything he’s holding it against himself, but he can’t help it. And the nightmares he has don’t help either. It starts slowly a dream here and there of (Y/n) singing sadly on stage because Jacaerys isn’t in the audience, before slowly ramping up to replays of things Jacaerys did culminating with how he berated you on the football field that day.
he starts to do more after that because he literally can’t sleep. If he sleeps he has that nightmare again, if he gives you a gift, or does a little extra to make sure you know you’re loved he can sleep a little easier, but he’s fighting a losing battle. Jacaerys is making extravagant purchases, cars, jewelry, vacations, and (Y/n) is starting to become suspicious. So he sends their son out for the night having him stay with his grandparents. (Y/n) makes a huge nice dinner for Jacaerys, he dresses up in the suit Jacaerys loves him in and taking off most, and he waits. When jacaerys finally does show up he feels terrible at the spread, it’s been months now that he’s felt like shit, so he starts crying, mumbling half apologies and promising to do better. And then he finally tells (Y/n) what’s been going on. (Y/n) smiles softly, soothing him rubbing his back, telling him again and again that he forgives him. That he loves him, and to not hold it against himself because he grew from it. Jacaerys nods but still turns up the courting gifts because he’s determined to get it right at least now. He knows he can’t change the past, and you don’t hold It against him, but he’s going to make sure you never even doubt how much he loves you.
