ummmmm Descendants 3 Jay x Gil?? pleaseeeee!! its the ship i never knew i needed
Gil and Jay is a ship that’s cute, but not something I’m crazy over. I think Gil is too in love with Uma and Harry and Jay only has eyes for Evie, Mal and Carlos (I’ve gotten super into poly ships the last few months, like more than my typical Jaylos), but I’m glad at the joy it brings people!
(What’s their ship name?? If they don’t have one, I petition for Muscle Men.)
Enjoy :)

“Mmmm.” Gil chews thoughtfully and squints in concentration. “This one is really good. Kind of sour. But, like, I like it. What is it called again?”
“Pineapple.” Jay tells him. “The really yellow is pineapple. The paler yellow is banana.” He drops his fork and picks up the next fruit with his fingers. His eyes light up with mischief as he pinches the blueberry. “Open wide.”
Gil obeys and opens his mouth, pitching forward to catch the berry. “Yes!” He cheers before he chews, again slowly and intently. "Oooh, very juicy.”
Jay leans back on his elbows and looks around the courtyard. The weather is nice, though turning chilly. Students are laying about the grass with sweaters and blankets, books and calculators. It’s a popular spot for dates. He’s seen Mal and Evie here together many times and Harry and Uma have their initials carved into a tree.
In fact, not too far away, Jay sees Carlos and Doug, a dozen textbooks spread out between them. Dude lays next to them. Carlos rubs the back of his neck and laughs loudly - way too loudly - before pushing Doug’s shoulder, who laughs back just as loudly.
He makes a note to tease Carlos about his little crush later.
“What’s your favorite so far?” Jay asks.
“All of them.”
Jay snickers and falls onto his back. The sky above him is bright and blue and the noise of birds and crickets and people talking is all around him.
He sense Gil lay down next to him quietly. He makes so little movement and no noise that Jay wouldn’t have even known Gil was laying next to him without hid body heat reach out to Jay like curling vines.
He likes that, the bits of Isle he finds in Gil. It’s familiar. It’s comforting.
“Auradon really is nice.” Gils mumbles. “I like it.”
“It has its perks.” Jay smiles and inches his hand closer to Gil’s. “The food. The beds. The sky.”
“The people.”
Jay looks over and raises an eyebrow. “You think so?”
“Definitely. Everyone here is so much nicer than on the Isle.” Gil nods to himself. “People don’t steal from me or call me names or try to fight me.”
“You’re too sweet for anyone to be mean.”
“That’s what Harry and Uma say.”
Jay stretches out his pinky to wrap around Gil’s. If they were still on the Isle, it would all be rushed. It would be hands and mouths and crude movements that were just physical.
They can be slow here. Take it easy. Be gentle.
“You can just hold my hand if you want to.”
Jay laughs and flexes his fingers. He finally just grabs Gil’s hand and lets their fingers intertwine.
