Hey, I love your fics! Am waiting patiently for the next chapter of the current one and I keep wanting to ask you about it. So Simon and Jakob… Simon is not asexual and he loves Jakob and respects that he IS, but Simon is also gay and Jakob is gorgeous and… does he ever get aroused by him? When they sleep together etc. How does he feel about it, how does he deal with it? Sorry I’m just thinking about this more than I should and finally had to ask.

Hello!!!! I'm excited you're excited!!! I love talking about this fic so much. Currently I finished the first half of the last chapter, and then naturally skipped right on ahead to the epilogue because I have no self restraint. (I plan to go through and turn this fic into an ✨ original ✨ because I want it on my bookshelf, and for fun, it'll have an exclusive epilogue! I'm obsessed with it, it's Johnny and Jakob spending time together)

ANYWAYS. an amazing question I've thought a lot about!!

Simon is definitely attracted to Jakob; Jakob is gorgeous and Simon loves him, and has definitely thought about how if Jakob were gay and alloromantic, he'd want to be together in that way.

Something that's really important to Simon is to want jakob in the way Jakob wants to be wanted. I think he can be attracted to Jakob and shelve these feelings to let the ones Jakob is comfortable with take front stage.

I did sadly cut a scene with a hilarious conversation about this, they're in bed and Jakob is talking about not dating in high school and a football teammate saying he's a waste of a big dick, Simon getting turned on, and Jakob laughing about it. Sadly it didn't fit the vibes of Jakob mid-anxiety-downspiral (baby boy was not in the mood to make jokes about everything ) so it got cut but it was funny. (And because Jakob def didn't make it onto any football teams haha)

That's the way they'd handle it though, Jakob knows he's hot and that Simon's into men, and he doesn't mind Simon being into him that way. As for Simon, I think it's one of those things he just lives with, and he doesn't dabble much in what ifs; he deliberately doesn't think about "but what if he was gay" scenarios and is someone who very consciously takes what he has and doesn't ask any what ifs, particularly after working on it in therapy (given his.. whole history). So he doesn't make a big deal of it, just like. Notices Jakob is hot as one of those facts of his life, and just lets the feelings about that lie. He knows, and Jakob is aware, and neither feels pressured to do anything but let it exist, because they've valued their relationship equal to a romantic/sexual one and consider what they have to be equally as good.

(I hope this answers it!! Im also someone who tends to not really care much about sexual relationships in more of a 🤷 sure way, which I'm sure contributes to my feelings that sexual attraction can just be set aside. I'm somewhere in that 'everyone? No one?' queer umbrella so I'm sure that influences my writing ahaha)

Also may be of interest: I'm going to do things slightly differently with the next fic id like to do!! Ace, alloromantic Jakob, dating Simon. (Johnny is with graves 😍) I'm super excited for it!! New dynamics!! Electricians again because I'm obsessed!!!!

What if you were Pluto’s most devout nun and you found out the only two people you’ve ever had romantic feelings for were God’s dead girlfriend and God’s dead daughter. Like what are you even supposed to do with that information.
