Hi, I read your Frederick/Reader and absolutely fell in love with your writing style. Was kicking my feet type shišŸ˜­ If youā€™re willing to, could you write for Victor Grantz in the same format ? If you do my world genuinely will be complete.
Thanks and have a good one!
WARNINGS: GENDER NOT SPECIFIED + NOT PROOFREAD
NOTES: The way you worded your request was hilarious thank u so much and sorry this took super duper longā€¦consider this my early Christmas gift to you. I hope this is the format you wanted šŸ„¹ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
Tumblr media
Meeting Victor is like trying to pet a stray cat: approach too quickly, and heā€™s gone before you even say ā€œhello.ā€ Heā€™s a master of the subtle retreatā€”one second there, the next, poof, like smoke in the wind. Victorā€™s shy, wary nature doesnā€™t just make him skittish; itā€™s practically an Olympic sport. Heā€™s the reigning champion of Avoidance 101.
But donā€™t worryā€”if you come at him gently, with no sudden movements and a kind heart, he might cautiously peer out from behind the metaphorical couch. Itā€™s a process though, so buckle up for the long haul. Winning Victorā€™s trust is less about grand gestures and more about the quiet, unspoken ones.
Want to impress him? Forget the flashy declarations of friendship and instead offer to help him feed the strays orā€”better yetā€”silently leave him a little note of encouragement. Heā€™ll find it later, blush like a tomato, and spend three days overthinking how to say ā€œthank you.ā€
Victor values people who respect his boundaries like theyā€™re sacred artifacts in a museumā€”look, but donā€™t touch, unless invited. The tiniest, most understated acts of care leave the biggest impression on him.
Did you pick up a letter he dropped without making a big deal about it? Congratulations, youā€™re now a recurring character in the cinema of Victorā€™s mind. Heā€™ll replay that scene like itā€™s Oscar-worthy, analyzing it frame by frame. ā€œWere they just being kind, or did they pity me?ā€ heā€™ll wonder at 3 a.m., sandwiched between anxiety and the hope that maybeā€”just maybeā€”you actually like him for who he is.
Spoiler alert: Victor is going to assume pity at first. Thatā€™s just his brand.
Victorā€™s idea of initiating a conversation is basically an international diplomatic incident. Heā€™s not one to start talking, because, letā€™s be honest, that requires bravery, and heā€™s still working up to being brave enough to ask for extra ketchup at the fast food drive-thru. But once he trusts you and thatā€™s a long journey involving more emotional hoops than the Olympics, heā€™ll let slip little nuggets of his inner world.
Heā€™ll drop these tiny little gems about himself like itā€™s a treasure hunt, but youā€™ve got to be quick, because theyā€™re easy to miss. One day, he might casually mention how a certain flower takes him back to his childhoodā€”cue the mental image of him as a tiny, awkward version of himself, surrounded by daisies.
Another time, he might comment on how peopleā€™s faces light up when they get letters, like heā€™s some sort of professional mail therapist who knows the emotional impact of a good envelope. When Victor opens up, itā€™s like witnessing a rare bird in the wildā€”blink and you might miss it.
Victor is not one for blatant hints, because heā€™s too busy trying to avoid direct confrontation (his skill at this could be rivaled only by the worldā€™s most skilled diplomats). So, no, heā€™ll never explicitly ask for your company, because that would require him to open his mouth and risk exposing his soft, squishy emotional side.
Instead, his actions do the talkingā€”though they might need a bit of interpretation, so keep your detective hat on. Victor might subtly adjust his delivery route so it conveniently passes by places you frequent. It's almost as if heā€™s carefully plotting to get within a five-foot radius of you, and hey, who could blame him? Maybe heā€™s just really into the whole ā€œunexpectedly running into people you knowā€ thing.
Or, if heā€™s really feeling bold, heā€™ll linger a little longer when dropping off your mail, as if the mailbox suddenly has some profound existential meaning. If you happen to notice this and casually join him (because you are a good person who isnā€™t going to let Victor spiral into further awkwardness alone, right?), heā€™ll be overjoyedā€”but also extremely flustered, because admitting he wants you around would require him to admit he has feelings. And that, my friend, is a level of vulnerability heā€™s not quite ready for. But donā€™t worry, his heartā€™s doing the cha-cha on the inside.
Victor is a masterclass in the actions speak louder than words school of love. Heā€™s not going to serenade you with declarations of affection or wax poetic about how your eyes sparkle like the morning dewā€”because, frankly, just thinking about that would make him combust.
Instead, he shows he cares in his own quiet, sneaky way. Mention your favorite tea once, and guess what? Heā€™ll remember it for eternity. Heā€™s got a mental file labeled Your Preferences: Highly Classified thatā€™s better organized than the national archives.
Youā€™ll casually say, ā€œOh, Iā€™ve been meaning to read this one book,ā€ and BAMā€”next thing you know, itā€™s magically in your mailbox with a little note that just says, ā€œThought you might like this.ā€ And if thereā€™s a stray cat you always stop to pet, Victor will casually start carrying an extra biscuit in his satchel for it.
Letā€™s be honest, thoughā€”if you look hungry enough, that biscuit might end up being for you. Itā€™s basically his love language: tea, books, and snacks.
If you want to make his day, just sit next to him quietly and do something peaceful together. Heā€™s like a houseplantā€”happy just existing in the same space as you, soaking up the shared sunlight.
Whether youā€™re tending a garden, reading side-by-side, or helping stray animals, those moments make him feel like heā€™s starring in his own low-budget indie movie (the kind with no dialogue but lots of meaningful glances).
Thereā€™s no pressure to talk, and thatā€™s exactly how he likes it. If he had his way, his life would just be a montage of cozy, quiet activities with you, set to the soft plink of piano music.
Of course, Victorā€™s social anxiety has a habit of pulling pranks on both him and everyone else. One minute, heā€™s enjoying your company; the next, heā€™s retreating like a vampire caught in the sunlight. No explanation, no warningā€”just poof, gone. Itā€™s not you, itā€™s himā€”and his brain, which likes to play a cruel game called Letā€™s Overthink This Until We Die.
If he avoids eye contact or looks like heā€™s considering tunneling through the nearest wall to escape, itā€™s not because youā€™ve done anything wrong. Heā€™s probably just overwhelmed and desperately trying to remember how humans are supposed to behave. Give him some space, and heā€™ll come back once heā€™s convinced himself you donā€™t secretly think heā€™s the most awkward person alive.
Spoiler: he totally thinks you think that anyway.
Victor wrestles with an Olympic-level sense of unworthiness, like his brain has its own personal commentator constantly reminding him, ā€œAnd here we have Victor, doubting his ability to be loved againā€”10 points for consistency!ā€
He struggles to believe that anyone could genuinely care for someone like him, especially given his arsenal of awkwardness and insecurities. Seriously, if self-deprecation were a sport, heā€™d have a gold medal and a sponsorship deal.
But hereā€™s the thing: if youā€™re patient and reassuring, heā€™ll eventually start peeling back the layers of his fears. He might quietly admit to his scopophobia (fear of being stared at), his doubts about whether heā€™s even capable of forming meaningful relationships, orā€”prepare yourself for heartbreakā€”his lingering sadness over never receiving a letter addressed just to him. (Excuse me while I cry forever.)
When this happens, please, for the love of all that is good, donā€™t panic and start shouting affirmations at him like youā€™re his personal life coach. Victor thrives on calm, gentle reassurance, not pressure or raised voices. Your steady, quiet presence is like emotional chamomile tea to his frazzled soul.
Despite all his self-doubt, Victor is ridiculously perceptive about your emotions, even if he doesnā€™t always know what to do about them. Heā€™s the kind of guy who notices youā€™re upset before you even realize it yourself.
Did you sigh a little too heavily or stare off into space for three seconds longer than usual? Victor clocked it. And while he might not be the type to launch into a grand speech about feelings, heā€™ll wordlessly show his care in his own way.
Maybe heā€™ll leave a single flower on your deskā€”no note, no explanation, just there, like a little whisper of ā€œI see you.ā€ Or, if heā€™s feeling extra sneaky, he might nudge Wick in your direction, because letā€™s be real: nothing cheers a person up like an adorable animal whoā€™s clearly been coerced into playing emotional support.
One thing Victor absolutely loves is writing letters. And by love, I mean obsesses over to an absurd degree. His letters to you are the perfect blend of poetic and adorably clumsy, like heā€™s trying to pour his heart out but keeps tripping over the words.
One moment, youā€™ll be reading something surprisingly profound about how much he values your presence, and the next, youā€™ll find a sentence where heā€™s clearly panicked mid-thought and gone with something hilariously awkward. (ā€œYour eyes remind me ofā€¦ uhā€¦ really nice things!ā€)
But what makes these letters so special is how deeply personal they are.
Theyā€™re filled with gratitude for the quiet joy you bring into his life, written in a way thatā€™s so uniquely him you can practically hear him fumbling through each line. Honestly, if love languages were mail-based, Victor would be your number-one postman.
Crowds and Victor go together about as well as oil and waterā€”or Victor and social confidence. But if you casually mention liking something, prepare yourself, because this man will brave the seventh circle of hell (the local market) to get it for you.
Picture it: Victor, sweating bullets, weaving through bustling streets like a man on a mission, clutching his satchel like itā€™s a lifeline. Heā€™ll return flustered but victorious, the prized item wrapped so carefully youā€™d think it was made of glass.
His face will be a mix of relief and pride, as if heā€™s just slain a dragon. (To be fair, for Victor, that is the equivalent.) Donā€™t be surprised if he brushes off your thanks with an awkward, ā€œOh, it was nothing,ā€ while secretly hoping youā€™re impressed by his bravery. Spoiler alert: you should be.
Wick, Victorā€™s trusty dog, isnā€™t just a petā€”heā€™s practically a third wheel in your relationship. And, honestly? Itā€™s adorable.
Victor sees Wick as an extension of himself, so when Wick curls up in your lap or adorably gnaws at your shoelaces, thatā€™s basically Victor saying, ā€œI trust you with my soul, but, you know, through the dog.ā€
The moment you start caring for Wickā€”feeding him, petting him, or playing fetchļæ½ļæ½ļæ½Victorā€™s heart practically bursts into a thousand sparkly pieces. Watching you with Wick is like watching someone hold a tiny, fluffy version of his heart in their hands. Wickā€™s antics arenā€™t just cute; theyā€™re a whole bonding experience.
Honestly, at this point, the three of you are a family. Wickā€™s the child, Victorā€™s the awkwardly doting dad, and youā€™re the incredibly patient parent trying to keep them both in line.
Arguments with Victor are about as common as a solar eclipse: rare, slightly uncomfortable, and leaving everyone a bit disoriented afterward. Confrontation isnā€™t in his wheelhouseā€”if thereā€™s tension, his first instinct is to retreat like a turtle into its shell.
If heā€™s hurt, he wonā€™t blow up or yell; instead, heā€™ll quietly pull away, letting his mind run a marathon of overthinking. By the time youā€™ve moved on, heā€™s still replaying the argument on loop like a bad soap opera. But hereā€™s the thing: Victor is ridiculously introspective.
Once heā€™s processed his emotions a process that may or may not involve pacing, Wick cuddles, and at least one existential crisis, heā€™ll write you a letter. And not just any letterā€”a heartfelt, soul-baring essay on what went wrong, why he feels the way he does, and how much he still values you.
Victorā€™s ultimate dream isnā€™t flashyā€”itā€™s not a yacht, a mansion, or a five-star lifestyle. No, in Victorā€™s perfect world, itā€™s just the two of you, Wick happily trotting at your heels, living your best life of ultimate domesticity.
No loud parties, no awkward small talk, just a quiet house with a cozy garden and maybe a suspiciously large collection of rocks Victor has insisted are ā€œartistic.ā€ The joy of daily routinesā€”making tea, feeding stray animals, and Victor nervously handing you love letters heā€™s rewritten five timesā€”is his idea of pure bliss. If this man ever proposes, itā€™s going to involve Wick wearing a bowtie and an ā€œI woof youā€ sign, so brace yourself for maximum wholesome chaos.
One day, Victor might finally muster the courage to show you his favorite quiet spots. Each one has a backstory thatā€™s equal parts sweet and painfully awkward.
Thereā€™s the meadow where he feeds stray animals because, of course, heā€™s secretly the neighborhood Dr. Dolittle. Thereā€™s the stream where he collects smooth stones, claiming they ā€œhelp him think,ā€ even though heā€™s just really bad at skipping rocks. And then thereā€™s the old tree. Beneath its branches is a hollow stuffed with letters Victor was too shy to deliver as a teenager.
Youā€™ll probably find one addressed to ā€œThat Kind Lady at the Bakery Who Smiled Once,ā€ because heā€™s been like this forever. And if youā€™re really lucky, heā€™ll read one out loud, stammering through every word.
Over time, you become more than just his partnerā€”youā€™re his anchor, his emotional life raft, and occasionally his human shield in crowds. While Victor still breaks into a cold sweat at the thought of socializing (his personal Mount Everest), your presence helps him step outside his comfort zone.
Maybe heā€™ll start saying ā€œhelloā€ to strangers instead of just nodding and looking at his feet, orā€”dare we dreamā€”heā€™ll manage a full conversation without overanalyzing it later.
Knowing youā€™ll always have his back gives him the courage to face the terrifying world of small talk and eye contact. And when heā€™s feeling especially brave, he might even join you in a crowd without Wick acting as his emotional chaperone. Just donā€™t expect miraclesā€”Victorā€™s still Victor, after all. But you love him either way, shy or not <3
CHRISTMAS BONUS
Yes, itā€™s his birthday, but itā€™s also Christmas, and letā€™s just say the holiday tends to hog the spotlight like a diva at center stage. While everyoneā€™s busy decking the halls and roasting chestnuts, Victorā€™s birthday barely gets a whisper. Imagine being handed a gift as a kid and hearing, ā€œThis counts for Christmas and your birthday!ā€ā€”traumatizing, honestly.
As an adult, heā€™s resigned himself to the overshadowed celebrations, but deep down, it still stings a little. But thatā€™s where you come in.
If you acknowledge his birthday with a small, heartfelt gestureā€”a handwritten card, a bouquet of winter flowers, or even a slightly burnt homemade cookieā€”heā€™ll be so touched he might need to sit down. (Emotionally overwhelmed Victor is a sight to beholdā€”think deer in headlights but with more blushing.)
On Christmas morning, Victor isnā€™t inside unwrapping presents or sipping cocoa by the fire like a normal person. Nope, heā€™s outside in the frosty dawn, feeding the stray animals, because of course he is.
When you join him, he wonā€™t make a big deal about it, but his face will light up like a Christmas treeā€”albeit a very understated one. Without a word, heā€™ll pull out an extra scarf from his satchel and gently wrap it around your neck. If you thank him, heā€™ll just mumble something about it being cold, all while his ears turn red.
Wick, meanwhile, will be living his best life, barking like a lunatic and spinning around your feet in an uncoordinated display of canine excitement. Between the wagging tail, Victorā€™s shy smiles, and the soft crunch of snow underfoot, itā€™ll feel less like a Hallmark movie and more like a quiet, perfect slice of real lifeā€”the kind of moment Victor secretly dreams about but never dares to ask for.
Victorā€™s favorite part of the holidays isnā€™t the gifts he receivesā€”itā€™s watching other people open theirs. Specifically, your gift. While youā€™re tearing into the wrapping paper, Victor is sitting there, looking like a bundle of nerves wrapped in a sweater, his amber eyes fixed on you with a mix of hope and terror.
His present is always something heā€™s put way too much thought into: a delicate trinket he made himself, like a pressed flower bookmark or a small wooden carving of you and Wick that probably took him hours. Heā€™ll fidget like crazy as you look at it, practically sweating bullets, and then stammer out something like, ā€œI-I wasnā€™t sure if youā€™d like it, but I thought, uh... maybeā€¦ā€
Hereā€™s the thing: youā€™d better say you love it. Not just ā€œlike it,ā€ but full-on, scream-with-joy love it. Why? Because poor Victor will have spent approximately 400 sleepless nights agonizing over that gift. When you smile and tell him itā€™s perfect, heā€™ll just about melt into the couch with relief.
Externally, heā€™ll nod and mumble, ā€œIā€™m glad,ā€ like itā€™s no big deal, but internally, heā€™s bursting into a fireworks display so sparkly it could rival New Yearā€™s Eve. Wick might sense the mood too and start barking happily, adding to the chaos.
In the evening, as the holiday buzz winds down, you and Victor find yourselves by the fire, sharing a quiet, intimate moment. Heā€™s wrapped in a blanket like a burrito, and his hands are cradling a mug of tea that heā€™s barely touched because heā€™s too busy working up the courage to speak.
Finally, he starts recounting a few childhood Christmases. His voice is soft and hesitant, like heā€™s afraid the words might shatter if he says them too loudly. The stories themselves are simpleā€”a handmade toy from a neighbor, the first time he saw snowā€”but his eyes glow with such quiet contentment that you can practically see the warmth of those memories written all over his face.
When the fire burns low, the two of you head out for a walk. Snow is falling in soft, lazy flakes, the kind that makes the world feel like itā€™s holding its breath. Wick, of course, is living it up, bounding ahead and occasionally stopping to sniff a suspicious patch of snow before darting off again.
Meanwhile, Victor stays close to you, his gloved hand brushing yours but never quite daring to hold it unless you make the first move. For once, he doesnā€™t feel the usual anxiety about being seen. The world could be watching, but with you beside him, it doesnā€™t matter. He feels safe, as though the snow-covered streets and the warmth of your presence are enough to shield him from everything else.
And if Wick comes barreling back mid-walk, absolutely covered in snow and looking absurdly pleased with himself, Victor might let out the softest laugh youā€™ve ever heard. Itā€™s rare, like spotting a shooting star, and it fills the quiet evening air with a joy so pure you canā€™t help but smile.

29 or 36 for fexi? Maybe the first time they call each other baby or another pet name???
Or 36 would kill me
Your writing is so incredible. And you write them so in love with each other, I am melting and get all emotional šŸ˜©šŸ„¹. and also hot and bothered because the smut is top tier too! We are blessed šŸ’–
Thank you for the kind words! It really means a lot to read them. (And again, apologies for not responding sooner. Soft prompt post here in case anyone is curious.) Here is #29, from a new crossover fic (promised long ago) that I've started and hope to share next year. šŸˆ šŸ˜‰āœØ
Lexi hears the buzz of her cell phone on the bedside table. Itā€™s not a surprise to be interrupted by a phone call at this hour, but the excitement never fades. She knows as soon as she drops her book, reaches for the device beside her, and turns the screen towards her, Lexi will see his name. Every night itā€™s the same.
The flutter in her chest was unfamiliar that first time he called her, after the New Yearā€™s Eve party and her brave trip to the convenience store and a few days of texting. Now, nearly 8 months later, the feeling is reliable, his calls are expected, but her heart races just the same. Itā€™s enough to make her pause before answering, to remind herself that this is the feeling sheā€™s been dreaming of her entire life.Ā 
ā€œHey, Fezco,ā€ she says through a blush and an uncontrollable smile.Ā 
ā€œHey, Lex. How you doin?ā€ His familiar drawl in her ear is a balm for every bad memory, every moment of self doubt. Finally, she has someone to count on.
ā€œIā€™m good, even better now.ā€ Lexi steals a glance over at her sister, who responds with an annoyed glare.Ā  The sight of Cassie pushing herself off the bed with a huff is something she enjoys a little more than she should. Lexi tries to ignore the distraction and focus on the voice on the other end of the line.
These days, Cass has mastered the mix of a disgusted scowl and frustrated sigh, complemented by an almost imperceptible eye roll. Just a year ago, the tables were completely turned. It was Lexi sitting across the room, trying to concentrate on her Algebra 2 problem set as her sister cooed some saccharine nonsense into the phone.Ā 
"How was your day?" she continues with a grin. Cassie stalks over to the door, her feet landed loudly the carpet in a dramatic display of revulsion.
"Alright," he says through a sigh. "Like you said, s'even better now. Kinda spent most of it missin' you, baby."
The door snaps shut and, despite her sisterā€™s obvious jealousy over someone, anyone, making Lexi the center of their world, thereā€™s only one thought rushing through her mind. He called me baby.
Her teeth gnawing at the center of her cheek are just one challenge to finding a response. There's also the rush of adrenaline in her belly, and the flush of heat on her cheeks, and an undeniable tingling sensation between her legs. She has to remember to breath.
ā€œSorry, ionā€™ mean to be derogatory,ā€ Fez blurts, a quicker cadence than his typical slow pace. ā€œI guess we talked about a lotta things, but we ainā€™t talk about me callinā€™ you thatā€¦ā€
He was right ā€” they had talked about a lot of things, especially since school started and he had fully settled into life at the Taylorā€™s house. They talked about what happened that night, right before the play. They talked about the feelings that Lexi felt, ad nauseum, through each act of said play as that saved seat meant for him sat empty. They talked about Ash, and they talked about the hospital. They talked, more frequently, about what happened at school or practice or rehearsal that day. And, just last weekend, they talked about their relationship status. A relationship status that definitely made it appropriate for him to call her baby.
ā€œItā€™s okay,ā€ she mumbles softly, responding just as he trails off. ā€œI like it. You can say it again.ā€Ā 
The soft grumble of his voice continues, "Baby, baby, baby." There's a hint of teasing in the word, but she knows he savors speaking it as much as she loves hearing it. Lexi chuckles and flops herself onto her back and stares up at the glow-in-the-dark stickers on her ceiling. "Like that?" he goads, his voice turning more suggestive.
"Yeah, like that," she says, her cheeks pained from a wide smile. There's a very good chance that his expression matches hers on the other side of town. She thinks to return the gesture, call him baby, too. But it doesn't feel quite right. Maybe they don't need pet names, but she's waited long enough for this relationship to blossom into something real, something more tactile than the bounds of her imagination. Lexi wants all the silly little clichƩs of a high school romance, and she wants Fez to have them too.
He clears his throat to break the long beat of silence, and a rush of bravery allows Lexi to ask the question on her mind. "And what should I call you?"

Hello, Iā€™m new to the Tarlos fandom ā™„ļø bing watched all seasons and Iā€™m not okay šŸ„¹ anyways I wanted to ask: are Rafael and Ronen usually more active on socials? Do they give bts footage when they are filming? And are their joint lives a regular thing?
Anyways, excited to be here, these two together, on and off screen, have something so special. Itā€™s a joy to watch them! Thank you :)
Hello, welcome!! It always makes me happy to see new people enjoying the show and falling in love with Tarlos! It's very easy to do--you're so right, they really do have something special!
Ronen in particular is usually a whole lot more active on socials. He goes a little quieter at times during the summer, but this summer he's quiet on a whole new level, and I'm assuming that can mostly be attributed to the strike. He's not able to talk about the show/Tarlos right now, so it's probably keeping him off social media a bit. Aside from that, he's probably busy traveling, working on music, relaxing, etc. Once they finally do get back to filming (or even well before then), I'm confident he will be back to posting regularly.
Rafa used to be more active on socials, but in the last couple years, he posts a lot less. However, he drops in from time to time to destroy us with gorgeous vacation photos, workout selfies, etc. And he usually posts about events he attends, though often after the fact rather than in real time.
During filming, Rafa doesn't usually post too much about the show/filming, though he will occasionally do a post or two to promote important episodes. Ronen posts a lot during filming and he loves to tease and hint at future Tarlos content. He doesn't post actual bts footage...I don't think he'd be allowed to share anything from when they're actively filming. But he posts selfies from set/his trailer frequently, and we can usually get little hints based on the outfits he's wearing and things like that. He usually interacts with fans a bit, talks about Tarlos all the time, and he'll sometimes live tweet episodes when they air. If it weren't for the greedy, soulless studios refusing to pay writers and actors what they deserve, we'd be mere weeks away from season 5 behind the scenes content...sadly, there's no telling when they'll be back to filming at this point.
The joint Tarlos lives are incredible but do appear to be a thing of the past. They haven't done one since before season 3. During season 3, they mentioned trying to organize another live a couple times, but it never happened. Then I don't think it was mentioned by either of them at all during season 4, and the only live Ronen did to promote the show was with Julian Works. I get the impression that Rafa doesn't want to do them anymore. He's a fairly private person and he's become less active on social media as the show/Tarlos got more popular. As an introvert who barely uses social media myself, I understand and respect that 100%...though I can't deny that I would love another Tarlos live more than almost anything! Who knows, it could still happen in the future someday, but I'm not expecting it. Regardless, we got a lot of great promotional content with both of them during season 4 and there are always the old lives to rewatch. If you haven't watched them all yet, I highly recommend it! As well as all the promotion they did for the season 4 finale! There are some great interviews and photoshoots out there to enjoy.

I propose to you the she fell first but he fell harder, she is the one that got away, virgin!Jake all mixed together! Allow me to elaborate...
Jake and her grew up together, their parents being childhood friends too. They went to the all the same schools. She has been in love with him since she could remember. Jake has always felt a certain tenderness, something more, but he always brushed it off as them just being best friends. Until, before their first school ball, he went over to hers, because, obviously, they went together. She was not yet ready, hurrying from one spot to the other in the house to get everything together. He felt a bubbling feeling in his chest as he watched, and once she emerged, her look completed, he realised that what he is feeling is love and fell real hard. It only amplified throughout the ball, when they danced together and she threw her head back while laughing at something he said, and he was a complete goner when they went back home and crashed on the couch, her hair dishevelled from all the dancing, cheeks rosy, her head landing on his shoulder, falling asleep on impact. Then it went on with mutual pining and a sort of unspoken understanding until homecoming. She knew that he would ask her to be his girlfriend from all the hints he absolutely did not mean to drop. But she overcomplicated it in her head, thinking that while their friendship will likely survive the long distance they'd have once she goes to uni and he into the military, if they were to get together now, their relationship wouldn't last the same way, potentially also ruining their friendship in the process. She also didn't think that either of them could focus on a relationship while completing their training/studies. So she didn't let him get to the question, almost seamlessly manipulating the situations so that it couldn't come up.
Jake is absolutely devastated when he sees her car drive away. He didn't even get to say goodbye, wish her a safe journey properly.
His way to cope is to bury himself into work, studying and be the best of his class throughout his training. Having fallen for her so hard, he didn't look at anyone else, hence he never lost his virginity. It all just resulted in sexual frustration, which he diverted into cockiness and training even more.
They keep in touch throughout, but not as frequently. Then, he goes to her graduation, and all his feelings for her just grow stronger. But he doesn't say anything on the day, because he wants it to be all about her and her achievement. He does ask if they can go and catch up the next day. He confesses then, and so does she, because her feelings didn't go away either. Happy end! with some well-deserved and needed giggly and soft sex
(Sorry for this being so long)
-šŸ’š
ah ah ah!!!!!! my beloved anon, please do not apologise one bit about this being long, because i absolutely adore every single bit of this!!!!! šŸ„¹šŸ„¹
iā€™m down so bad for pining for years jake and also down bad for the idea that jake is secretly a long time virgin and thatā€™s why he covers it up with all of his ego and what not.
gosh, still i continued to be blown away and amazed at all of these wonderful ideas and pieces you send me. thank you so much for this my beloved anon!! we do love happy endings with soft giggly sex too šŸ„¹šŸ’ŒšŸ’–
