Holding his face when his eyes darken. “You’re not alone, Jer. You never will be again.” • Him teaching you how to use weapons “just in case” and definitely loving the excuse to wrap his arms around you. • Protective!Jeremy punching someone out of nowhere because they said something rude to you. “I warned you,” he growls, wiping his bloody knuckles. • Him pretending to be mad when you steal his flannels, but never asking for them back. • You calming him down during his vampire hunter rage phases, sitting between his legs and holding his hands tight. “Just breathe with me, baby.” • Soft kisses that turn intense fast—he’s sweet, but he feels everything so deeply. • Late-night texts like ”Can’t sleep without you” and “Come over. I miss your face.” • Getting to see that rare, crooked Jeremy smile when you do something cute, and it melts you every time. • Being best friends with Elena and her pretending to be chill but also lowkey interrogating him after every date like, “Are you being good to her?” • His art. Sketching you without you noticing. Leaving little doodles with notes like “my muse” or “couldn’t get you out of my head.” • Long silences that feel comfortable because you’re just that connected. No words needed. • “You make me want to live again. Not survive. Live.”
