#jarrad

Pissed off from the way that I don't fit in

I don't fit in

Tell me what's the secret to love, I don't get it

Feel like I be runnin' a race, I'm not winnin'

Ran into the devil today and she grinnin'

Hey, these girls are insane

UH!

all girls are the same

They're rottin' my brain, love

Think I need a change

Before I go insane

love!

MY DUDE IT IS NEVER TO LATE TO ASK ABOUT MY SHIPS!!

cracks knuckles Yes I’d gladly talk more about them, it’s kiiiind of a long story though since I gotta explain some backstory too haha

So I talked about Matias in depth in his introduction-post which does cover most of it. Jarrad belongs to my friend Sweet and their story written for NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) about a toooon of supernaturals and their universe. Those supernaturals usually hide their real form from humans, but some humans with sight, such as Matias, can see their original forms and thus have knowledge about them.

Jarrad himself is a nightwalker who are basically half-angels (which is a fact they make a lot of fun of. Who knows how often Matias asked Jarrad “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?”). Their magic and abilities manifest in rune-like sigils they get tattooed on their skin with angel blood, and since it takes a lot of will and faith to withstand them, so the more runes a nightwalker has, the more powerful they are. This is why Jarrad hides them with a glamour in the story since he’s a trained warrior basically and he’s used to being careful.

NOW they are more of a long-distance relationship because Jarrad has to go on missions very regularly which are often pretty dangerous, so he can only visit Matias now and then. This works nicely for them both seeing as Jarrad is very outgoing and has a lot of friends he works with and is very action-y, while Matias is more of a shut-in due to his childhood and does value his peace, and since Jarrad is a handful (literally lolol) he likes time to recharge now and then.

Apart from that they get along very nicely because they ground each other.

Matias has some confidence-issues and because of the sight he sometimes sees pretty horrifying things (you walk around a park and suddenly see a vampire ripping out somebody’s throat while others just see a couple making out. No fun.) so he sometimes tends to just kinda tune out to cope with it by seeing it merely as a scene to be described in a book, basically kind of disassociating with reality (It’s partially why he keeps thinking about how he’ll describe Jarrad in the story). Basically, Jarrad gives him a confidence-boost since heck, Jarrad is amazing and beautiful so Matias is like Hhhhh at the fact that HE’S dating that guy when dozen other dudes would fall to his feet. Plus Jarrad always pulls him back to reality when he tunes out, and he’s an extremely trustworthy and protective person so that works perfectly.

At the same time, Jarrad is impulsive and a little too protective, which can lead to recklessness, plus he wants to take care of others so he doesn’t really take care of himself. Matias tries to make sure that Jarrad is careful, that he’s safe. When Jarrad is on missions, Matias doesn’t message him until Jarrad messages him first, because he doesn’t want to put him in any kind of unnecessary danger by having his phone go off (Jarrad usually turns it off himself anyway but well things can happen). Plus he gives Jarrad a place to relax, where he can just lie down and not worry about anything and have lots and lots of sex.

WELL SINCE IT WENT THERE it might be worth mentioning that Jarrad is HIGHLY sexual, way more than Matias has ever been used to, BUT THEN AGAIN Matias cannot for the life of him resist this beautiful piece of angelic heaven in his home so they keep each other busy a lot. Not to mention that Jarrad distracts Matias so much that Matias can’t really focus on writing his books anymore since all he thinks about is Jarrad then, so he started writing some porn-novels on the side, most of them being pretty much self-inserts of the two of them.

Being with Jarrad is also Matias first “real“ relationship, as he stayed in the closet for a long time and only had occasiional hookups two or three times, but never anything serious. So he still makes a bunch of rookie mistakes here and there but they both work on themselves and help each other work on their flaws so they can have a peaceful life together.
