#jackshitbits

we call this fixer-upper home series by @alphacrone (the_one_that_fell on a03)

but my meds are fuckin w me so i don’t want to write fic so have more messy bullet HCs

post-grad dating is tricky bc now there’s THREE totally different and demanding schedules trying to line up

they do a lot of one-on-one plus skyping dates during the season

the commute between samwell and cambridge is not ideal but it’s also not terrible so by the end of the first semester it’s p much like shits has moved back into the haus w bits

jack gets a lil jealous that his BFs’ schedule match up a bit better than his but mostly he just misses them a whole bunch

shitty has been banned from “””””helping”””””” bitty write the notes on jack’s pregame PBJs. he writes his own and sticks them in the lunch sack when bitty’s not looking. they’re always very crude and either make jack laugh like a fool or blush bright red in public. 

bits and shits are jack’s unofficial cheerleaders at home games. bitty wears his zimmermann jersey and sometimes paints little blue and yellow streaks on his face. 

shitty is a fucking hooligan and tends to get overzealous in his Team Pride Gear. im talkin blue wigs, body paint, big ass foam fingers, boas, glitter, pom poms, THE WHOLE NINE YARDS

the falcs loooove jack’s best friends. mostly bitty, but shitty’s good for a laugh. 

(it takes jack a lot longer to confide in anyone re: his relationship, but george is a fucking goddess and takes it in stride -- after the initial “teammates” panic, that is.)

(there is a brief second where she thinks that jack is dating both tater and snowy. she’s not sure why those are the names that come first to mind, but the logistics of it all nearly stop her heart right then and there.)

when they go out in public, bitty and shitty don’t have to hide with each other, but jack is very reserved.

(in a way, it’s harder, because he so desperately wants to hold their hands and kiss them without thinking about it; but it’s easier, because they can still be open together, which is all jack wants for them.)

luckily, shitty is equally gratuitous in his friend-PDA and his boyfriend-PDA, and bitty is equally reserved, so it’s not like they have to hold back too much love

jack and shitty have nearly gotten into physical fights over paying for dates. at first bitty feels bad and tries to steal the check from them, but he’s learned that’s the fastest way to lose a hand with these two goofs. 

Aww thank you :)

OK SO when bits is still at Samwell I like to imagine shitty meets up with jack first on date nights and they get ready together, side by side in the bathroom like they did for three years of winter screws and art shows and whatnot when they lived next door to each other

it’s mostly them reminding each other to put on deodorant and matching socks and whatever, but sometimes jack helps shitty groom the ‘stache

Bitty always does a little “shave and a haircut” knock on Jack’s door on date nights, despite the fact that he has a key. he says it’s called Being a Gentleman.

given the more unusual circumstance of being in a triad, jack doesn’t feel so anxious getting dinner in public, even fancy romantic places. Shitty calls them business meetings because he’s a shithead.

bitty, surprisingly, is always the one who tends to drink too much wine on date nights. it sometimes makes him sleepy and cuddly before the night is over, but it’s cute so the boys don’t really mind.

they always stop somewhere on the way home to pick up dessert, usually some cafe or bakery Bitty’s been reading up on. and they never eat the dessert in public, because Bitty’s reactions tend to LEAD to things

the best date nights end with the boys piled onto the couch or Jack’s comfy ass bed, some mindless syfy movie on in the background, jack and shitty slumped shoulder to shoulder, bitty draped across them, face pressed into Jack’s neck, knees tucked up under Shitty’s arm.

in the mornings, Bitty makes pancakes, jack makes bacon, and shitty mans the coffee pot like a champ.

breakfast always gets cold, though, because these boys prefer morning sex after date nights

(bitty and jack get a bit competitive in the mornings. jack cooks the bacon in his briefs and an apron. Bits wears an oversized shirt that isn’t his and nothing else.)

(shitty just looks on in his typical nudity and wonders how he got so lucky to have two boyfriends who’re trying to outsexy each other while making breakfast foods)
