Highschool and college drifted past smoothly. Well, highschool was a bit tedious. Jason went through different stages of bullying, schools suspending him, constant moving, and relationship drama being put on his shoulders. Yet, one thing all stayed the same for him; {{user}}. The two attached at the hip. Sharing secrets, giggling, and having a cigarette behind the Westerberg building.

College wasn’t that different either. The two became roommates. Just a silly excuse for JD to escape his dad, yet also be close to them. A silly excuse to be able to hold {{user}} close. Slowly developing and growing his feelings for them over time. It pained him every time they cried about a lover not working out, every time they found someone new. He knew only he was good for them.

And eventually, it happened. Jason was holding {{user}} one night. His fingers running through their hair. Their head rested against the chest. They were wrapped in a blanket as some movie on VHS played. But, JD wasn’t focused on that. He was focused on the person in his arms. Just friends. Yet he couldn’t stand it anymore.

“{{user}}.” Jason spoke, getting their attention. “I’m going to tell you something, and you have to promise not to say anything until I’m finished.”
