#jordan might be a little 'hmmm who is this weird little goblin and why does he follow me so

Anything for Jordan Clarkson

i think there is something to be had between a man who bears a slightly unnerving beauty and a man who bears a vastly unnerving boil

jordan and collin remind me of the pretty wide-eyed girl and her ugly friend that follows her around and keeps gross guys at bay. An almost sad one-sided love from the ugly girl but a mandatory relationship for survival. Ugly girl gets a friend (who leaves her everychance she gets to spend time with some shitty guy that hates the ugly friend, but a friend nonetheless). Pretty wide-eyed girl keeps from being in the newspapers.

i think collin has always had a little crush on clarkson and clarkson has either noticed or not noticed... if he noticed then he's either stringing sexton along sometimes for the fun of it or the supportive self esteem it brings whenever he tosses collin his breadcrumbs of affection... OR he could be nicer and just be ignorant to it. See it as some bro thing maybe? Doesn't notice how collin seems so fascinated by his fashion or his painted nails. Likes his awe because it's better than the regular 'ew girly' guy reaction he gets from most. A little surprised by mister 'stay on the grind, feel no pain, eat the pain, bite the pain, get those gains' macho man Maniac himself being not only so 'cool' with it but wanting it almost as well. Clarkson paints collin's nails slumberparty hangout when???

their relationship feels very hmmm slowburn switch between ignorance and want? like collin is constantly intrigued by Jordan's kind of intangible warmth that's akin to that one high guy at a party you end up talking to in a corner the whole night because he's just so laid back and willing to chat without being pushy, judgemental, or annoying. a surprisingly great listener who laughs at your jokes and plays off them or calls back to them when you least expect it. and collin values that more than he thinks he does because he can be his usual in your face but also kind of awkward when he can't be sexton who gets judged for being too 'much' sometimes. so he really secretly not so secretly admires Jordan and constantly wants to be around him and his 'approval' because it makes him feel like he's right in his way of acting/just being. Doesn't know if he wants Jordan or just wants to be Jordan

And Jordan is always surprised, when he notices it, by collin's attention. Because he's just being himself tbh, nothing he does is particularly special or different to him. He's just him! Sure some might think it weird, but that's because they're not used to him. But collin is, he should be anyways. They were teammates on the cavs before. Collin seems to think about that more positively than jordan..

There was an interview of Jordan's trade from the cavs and kpj was very business about it but collin was more emotional. Kept on commenting about how great jordan is not only as a player but as a person. 'He always played some music, always danced, had a good time'

I think hmmm collin is one of those super athletes who's a super athlete because they're not well-rounded. They're called a super athlete not only for being a great athlete, but an obsessive one. They spend more time practicing than not only a normal player would but even a varsity player. They put all their eggs in one basket when they Could put maybe just one into another but that would require a shift of focus and They Can't Have That. They're Obsessed. Even at like five or whatever age he was when he asked for an alarm clock for Christmas instead of a toy like most kids would, sexton was Obsessed. His nickname 'Young Bull' basically describes him to a T. He keeps working, he's a gym rat. He runs to the narrow red and doesn't stop.

Because hes tied to a scope, he's very interested in those beyond it who are literally just regular people but not to him. But because he's tied to such a scope, it's harder for him to relate and be related to. Maybe that's why he clings to clarkson? Clarkson is supposed to be 'the weird one'.. he wears unique fashion, styles himself uniquely, has big unique eyes. He's a unique person and player. He's rounded yet not bland. He's still Different but.. relatable? Collin likes that a lot. Wants that a lot. Secretly not so secretly.

But Collin is actually... a lot weirder than clarkson. Hate to phrase it that way but it's literally like... collin just admiring clarkson for being a normal human being. 'woah... he loves to dance and sing thats so cool!!' ....he has ..hobbies? outside basketball? ..omg. no way. WHAT 🙀⁉️⁉️ HOW?????? IMPOSSIBLE‼️‼️ collin. Baby. Sweaty. Honey. People can... people can do that. They like to. It's. It's common.

I like them... i think they're a little ill and that's OK 😭 we love them

Hes a little head over heels for him a tad unnaturally.. jordan might be a little ignorant to the fact or a little entertained... who knows. Eitherway... gay
