“ jasper is a 25 year old seattleite who tries hard to believe he is just like everybody else. his own house, a cat, a job at a local bookstore, a moderate talent for photography and a love of painting ⸻ on the surface there is nothing particularly abnormal about him. it is in his people watching that things begin to get a little more interesting. the letter of the law would refer to it as stalking, no matter how much jasper insists the people he follows through their day to day lives are simply his friends. what does this say about his unhealthy attachment style ? he scarcely stops to consider, preferring instead to think of himself as close and protective over every person he takes a shine to. there are no known limits to what jasper would do for the right amount of loyalty in return, and his intense affection borders on dangerous under the wrong circumstances. ”

it doesn't take more than a half hour or so to prove his theories correct, a double take enough to confirm that it's the same guy making his way up the sidewalk across the street. jasper jay walks quickly and carefully at his first opportunity, posting himself in the path of the other in what is meant to look like a very casual, natural moment. unlit cig between lips, hands pat down his pockets and he feigns a grimace when the other draws near. " hey man, you don't have a light, do you ? "

" it's stu, right ? " his calm exterior not betraying the way his heart hammers against the cage of his chest in the slightest as he peers at the other inquisitively over his book as though he's just faintly recognized him from somewhere. " michael. we have english lit together. "

Jax is counting all the ways in his head that this new life he was thrusted into could end so many things terribly and he knows better than to have a mindset of ‘not me’ ; he stands before someone who has already taught him that valuable lession. Maybe it even spared him potentional grief in ways that rang familiar when he lost his mother… but on his hands. It’s not his place to be a judge, jury, or executioner to anyone and he has a sense that he’s only making the right choices here.  ❝  Hey, really, it’s water under the bridge at this point, I think, Jasper. ❞

His handshake is firm and he noticed the tenseness in Jaspers own before pulling away and taking another sip of coffee. With the new burn of predatory hunger quelled for now, a familiar crave for nicotine flares finally. He thinks for a moment about his own pack but is reminded of his lack of care when it fell in the woods running. He bites his cheek.  ❝  Weird sidebar but –– do you smoke? I’d kill for a cigarette –– well not really KILL… ❞ Sheepish laughter at the nearly bad joke and he rubs his neck a moment.  ❝  you know what i mean, i hope. ❞

❝ There’s no pressure in being a teacher deal, man, but it’s definitely appriciated. ❞

      “  i  too  could  metaphorically  kill  for  a  smoke,  ”  he  agrees  with  a  slack  in  posture  that  signals  his  momentary  lowering  of  defenses,  a  little  shake  out  of  that  residual  tension.  the  softening  of  alert,  sharp  features  leaves  him  looking  a  little  less  on  edge  than  just  a  moment before  as  he  nods  towards  the  door  leading  out  to  the  porch,  already  fumbling  for  his  pack  of  smokes  as  he  leads  jax   outside.  he  looks  back  over  his  shoulder  on  the  way  out.    “ outside,  though.  it’s  bad  for  the  wallpaper  and  my  cat  doesn’t  like  it  ⸻  good  news,  though,  it  can’t  kill  you  anymore. ”

" the jacket suits you, " he finally speaks with that small smile on his lips, a nod to his self restraint that his face doesn't simply split in two when he's put on the spot and moony eyed. he's loathed the sight of that leather jacket in his closet for months upon months now, but it takes on a new life when the other dons it.
