wait so in the ghoul universe do barry and jon hibernate
its more like a mild case of narcolepsy than actual hibernating. Theyll randomly fall asleep, usually while theyre working or cooking, etc.
(Barry once fell asleep right in the middle of recording with Ross and the rest of the episode was just a facecam of Ross piling items on the sleepy bear u_u)
Okay but what if Dan called Jon 'Cool bear' to not get it mixed up with him calling Barry 'Big bear' Jon having a big crush on Dan but he's starting to crush on Arin too and he's literally just terrified like Oh god what are these feELINGS Arin Dan and Jon having this week thing where they take turns explaining their problems on being stressed and stuff and the other two will calm and care for them and they all kinda just cuddle together with the person stressed in the middle +Three way kisses
pLEASE im am so here for Jon developing feelings years after he first meets Arin aaaa
This is VERY LONG, well;; its long for me dude. Theres a severe lack of egobangtron i am so sorry, i got very carried away but theres plenty of egotron so here u go
He used to be so supportive of Arin and his unorthodox ways. At first he chalked it up to being a good friend and generally being an accepting person, but with Arin sitting in front of him, hair gently pulled back into a small ponytail and cheeks dusted pink from laughing just a lil too hard at a joke Dan made, hes starting to rethink alot things he mightve done in the past.
Dan notices Jon being kinda skittish around Arin so he takes it upon himself to ask whats wrong. “Nonononono, im good! Im just, I havent seen him in a long time so im just alot more antsy than usual. Y’know, butterflies an whatnot.” He can tell Dan doesnt buy it, but instead of pestering him, he just gives him a smile and pats his shoulder. “Arin hasnt got to spend time with you in forever. He keeps talking about all these things you guys used to do together. Reminiscing, i guess. He really missed you dude.”
He shoves his hands into his pockets and looks Jon in the eyes. “Im not one to intrude on personal business nor am i the type to tell people what they should and should not do. But Arin has been waiting a long time to see you again. He was practically bouncing off the walls crying when he found out you were coming to visit, we couldnt control him! Just know that whatever youve got to say to him, whatever internal dilemma youve got going on, he loves you. Dearly.”
He leaves it at that. He gives him a quick wink, a pat on the back, and exits the room leaving Jon there alone and even more nervous than ever because ohh gOD what is happening to me??? These feelings auaghgahg ECH!
Arin starts to notice that Jons been missing? Well not missing but hes been in the air conditioned room alot more often than usual. When Dan overhears him, he jumps at the opportunity to get Arin to speak to him. “OH yeah, he was feeling a lil down. Hes been keeping to himself so he wont worry you…mAYBE YOU should go see him. Make sure hes fine, yeah?” Arin can clearly hear Dan doing that weird ‘im causing trouble, ‘trouble-maker voice’’ but his concern for Jon makes him go and seek him out anyway.
He walks into the room prepped w a thick comforter and some hot cocoa (the ones w marshmallow bc thats Jons favorite) and slowly pads over to the corner of the room Jon is currently curled up into. Hes transformed, so instead of sitting on the bed, hes lying down on the floor with a couple of pillows propped up around him. When he notices Arin, his heart starts racing and he can feel himself already struggling to try and get rid of the lump in his throat.
“Arin- okay first of all, im gonna kill Dan.” Arin laughs without meaning to and Jon cant help but smile a lil. “Well, yeah I guess he was pretty insistent on me coming to see you. You know him, hes like a gossipin jersey mom, he cant help it.” He inches his way towards the bed and sits crosslegged in front of Jon, slightly taken aback when he subconsciously distances himself from him. He decides against giving him his cup of hot chocolate, simply placing both cups on the dresser beside him.
“I…I dont know what I mightve done to…upset you… but im sorry.” Jon groans and shrinks into himself even more. “Dude…dude, you didnt do anything wrong. Im just being-” He vaguely waves his arms, gesturing to himself. “-over-dramatic.” When Arin speaks, its low and quiet and he cant help but feel so small. “Then why arent you talking to me? Youve been avoiding me since youve got here…Jon, you know how i am, i start to assume the worst when shit like this happens.” Hes nervously wringing his hands as Jon stares on.
“Buddy, you gotta say something, I-I dont feel very comfortable right now. You’re too quiet for me.” He looks at him with pleading eyes, hoping to get something out of him, but all Jon can do is stare, words strangled in his throat. Arin gets up and pads over to where Jon is sitting, ignoring the way he instinctively pulls back. They both sit there in absolute silence, Arin waiting for Jon to get comfortable enough to speak.
Arin can feel himself dozing off until he feels something cold and wet pressed against his neck, instantly sobering him up. Hes being gently scooped up into Jons lap, back pressed up against his chest with him gently nuzzling his neck; his half-assed yet endearing way of apologizing. He lets himself be manhandled because at least hes feeling a little better, he can handle being carried like a doll for a little bit.
Arin, pokes him on the paw to get his attention and Jon briefly stops nuzzling to see whats wrong. “Jon, its not a formal apology unless you actually say it.Y’know, with words.” He groans, clearly not liking where this is going. Instead, he tries to distract him, snaking his paws under his shirt, gently petting the sides of Arins stomach and laughing when he unwillingly starts purring.
“JON, oh my god, NO thats not gonna work this time; fuck off;;;;” he cant even get the words out, the purring making everything sound warbly, like hes stuck underwater. Jon decides hes had enough and retracts his hands from his shirt. He puts them around Arin in a huge embrace, giggling when he hears Arin desperate try to even out his erratic breathing. Hes red-faced and trembling slightly, but Jon is more relaxed right now than hes been this entire trip so no harm done.
“You know you still didnt say sorry. Infact, I need an apology big enough for your little huffy fit AND the harassment i just endured.” Jon laughs, tightening the hug even more. “Harassment? Is that what youre calling it Princess?” Arin locks up in shock, he hasnt been called that in a long, long time and hearing it again after all this time rendered him speechless. Jon mushes his nose into his neck and sighs. “Im really sorry, Princess. Like, really sorry.” He gently rocks back and forth, the slow rhythm calming both of them down.
Arin lets himself be rocked. Hes nowhere near tired anymore so he just leans his head back, listening to Jons breathing even out. Eventually he hears him mumble something and if it werent for his good hearing, he wouldve never picked it up.
“I love you, Ar. Like, I feel so stupid for just now realizing it.” He gives a nervous laugh but falls eerily silent in seconds. Arin wants to say hes surprised, but honestly, theyve done alot of stuff, including what just happened, that just doesnt seem like something only friends would do. He knows this is whats been bothering Jon this entire trip and even though hes just confessed, hes still going to be slightly skittish around him if he doesnt react accordingly.
He slowly pries apart Jons arms which are currently wrapped in a deathgrip around Arin and lifts a paw to his mouth, softly pressing his lips to the top of it. Its a quick peck; short and sweet to get his point across. He starts rubbing his knuckles with the pad of his thumb, smiling when Jon gently intertwines their fingers.
“You know I love you, ya big doof.” Arin looks up and smiles at him and Jon snickers.
I love the ghoul grumps au and I've been thinking about Jon lots lately so do you have any random Jon headcannons to share?
OKAY IVE HAD THIS SITTING HERE forever,,, but since ive been in an egotron/egobangtron mood lately, here you go:
Jon is a Polar Bear and is more comfortable in NY than LA because of it.
Jon likes seafood and LOTS of it. He likes sushi and salmon the most :0
Hes one of the first people (alongside Suzy) to encourage Arin to explore his more feminine side. Kind of like a big ‘fuck you’ to the hyper-masculine stereotypes around the large beastlike hybrids like Tigers and Bears.
Jon calls Arin ‘Princess’
Suzy gets a good kick out of it everytime he calls Arin ‘Princess’ bc he just sits there blushing for a solid 30 seconds.
Arin has a nice air-conditioned room in both his house and the grump space for whenever Jon comes to visit.
Jons bear form is mASSIVE (just like Arin and Barry); hes too tall to fit through most doors so he has to resort to walking on all fours in order to navigate the house.
Arin, Jon, and Barry used to do massive cuddle piles in their beast forms during the winter. It looked crazy, just… a mass of fur everywhere lmao
Jon has a terrible, obvious crush on Danny and Arin pokes fun at him for it.
Dan once called Jon ‘Baby Girl’ and he practically cried he was so flustered.
Other optional nickname; ‘Big Bear’ to match Arins ‘Big Cat’
Next to Arin and Danny, Jon is smol.
Jon likes to be carried bc of this.
Jon doesnt hibernate, but he does the same thing as Barry where he’ll just pass out randomly. It usually lasts for a couple of months and Arin has tons of blackmail material. (Jon sleeping upside down, Jon falling asleep mid-shower, falling asleep with is head in the sink. Accidentally falling asleep at Hollys house and being consumed by her flock of birds)
Jon arguably gives the best hugs. (Suzy will say Arin has THE best hugs, Dan will argue that Jon gives the best hugs; hes like a literal teddy bear, fluffy and smol)
