wylan: im gay

When Wylan yells 'Shield your eyes!' Jesper is the only one who doesn`t move a single freakin` inch. The only thing he does to protect himself is basically just what Wylan tells them to do, namely covering his eyes with his forearm.

Well, Jesper is standing behind Wylan so he doesn`t need to literally get out of harm`s way the way Tolya, Tamar and Nikolai do. But neither do Nadia and Kaz , yet they turn away and practically get down covering their heads. This also might be recklessness overriding the self-preservation instinct. Yet I think said instict is indeed being overridden here but by something different: the need to be close to Wylan and the trust Jesper puts in him.

As mentioned above, Jesper and Wylan have not gone far from each other`s side since they made up. They believe that is where they belong, and Jesper`s instincts apparently tell him that staying close to Wylan is more important than getting an additional protection from potential harm. Besides, Wylan has told them to shield their eyes, so that`s enough! Wylan knows what he`s doing and what the rest should be doing where his chemicals and explosions are concerned.
