#jas!kyder

Send me a pairing and I’ll tell you…

who puts pizza bagels and captain crunch in the shopping cart: Ryder. Kitty’s much more careful about what she eats and she’s trying to make Ryder more healthy but how successful she’ll be is yet to be seen. 

who forgot the rule about putting foil in the microwave and subsequently caused a small fire: Ryder is much more likely to, especially since he’s easily distracted by things but he does remember most of the time.

who sleeps naked: Both of them have their comfortable pyjamas they like to sleep in, and she’ll definitely like sleeping in his t-shirts too but they’re also perfectly happy to fall asleep naked with each other, especially after sex.

who sleeps under 3 blankets: Kitty likes to complain she’s cold in New York, since she’s used to the warmer Mississippi temperatures but Ryder is also like a human hot water bottle so equally, she could just cuddle up to him instead. 

who has a huge crush on Billy Joel: Neither of them.

who gets drunk and breaks shit: Ryder is probably the clumsier drunk out of the two, and Kitty’s much more sneaky at hiding stuff and getting away with it too. 

who’s a closeted anime fan: Neither of them, although it’s much more likely to be Ryder.

who initiates sex at inappropriate times/places: Kitty. Right from the outset, she’s been the one to make the bolder moves out of the two. I think as they develop, Ryder will start making more of his own moves but he’d stick to appropriate times and places only. Kitty on the other hand, doesn’t give a fuck and will hit on her man whenever she feels like it, whether there are people around or not.

who’s afraid of Slenderman: Ryder is much more wary, Kitty doesn’t even give that stuff the time of day.

what their wedding song will be: Sweetest Devotion - Adele (I can send it to you if you haven’t heard it, I think most YouTube versions are taken down and it’s not on Spotify)

what their biggest fight was about: Kitty can start some pretty petty fights. She just gets bored and a little self destructive if she thinks things aren’t going to go her way. She’ll shout and scream but she doesn’t really mean most of it. A part of her is just testing Ryder to see whether he’ll get fed up and leave. Bigger fights are few and far between but it might be when the distance really starts testing them. 

“You realise you’re asking me to give you my blessing for you to sin with my daughter? Most boys just used to sneak into her bedroom to commit such sins. But… I know my daughter and I know what she’s like. Even if I say no, I’m sure she’d go ahead and move in with you anyway. You make her happy so I’ll say yes and pray for you both instead. Living together before marriage is a huge risk, maybe you should try asking Him for his blessing too.”

Kitty stared at Ryder as he spoke, not quite believing the words had left his mouth. She even wanted to pinch herself a few times to check she wasn’t dreaming. Hell, she even reached out and pinched his arm too (just because she could) to make sure this was actually happening. Ryder had just asked her to move in with him. Move in. This had started as a fake relationship on a dating website but now he was seriously asking if she wanted to live with him, and of course she did. The giant nerd had wormed his way into her life and it turned out she liked him rather a lot. 

The decision to move in with him was still a huge one though, a big step for anyone, let alone Kitty moving across the country. She’d always dreamt of New York but she was still in the process of saving for rent. Although living with Ryder would mean half the rent costs and he was already set up with everything they needed. So it made good business sense to take him up on the deal, of course. “Yes, yes I’ll move in with you.” She answered with a grin, throwing herself towards him as she wrapped her arms tightly around his neck. “Are we done pretending now, are we actually a real official couple? That’s kind of boring.” She teased, pulling back to press a kiss against his lips.

Kitty had no idea how she kept ending up in places with Ryder. They lived 1,110 miles apart. No, she absolutely did not look that up. Except she totally had one night when she’d found herself thinking about Ryder yet again. Still, they somehow kept finding excuses to visit each other as they flew back and forth between Mississippi and New York. Kitty had no idea what had come over her, this was a guy she’d met on a dating site. That wasn’t her style, or it wasn’t usually but Ryder seemed to have worn her down on that front. Plus he had pretended to be her boyfriend at Thanksgiving to get her parents off her back and she was very appreciative of that. 

Right now though, he was back in Mississippi with her, pretending once again to be her boyfriend in the run up to Christmas. No one wants to break up around the holidays, right? So they’d gone to the local Christmas fair with her parents, strolling around hand in hand as they carried on with their charade. She’d spotted the ferris wheel, deciding it was exactly what they needed to do as she dragged Ryder towards it. The wheel was fun and she couldn’t help but admire the view as they reached the top. “It’s so pretty up here, such a cool view.” She smiled, looking out at the lit up festive surroundings. “Don’t you dare say any cheesy line about me being the pretty view.” She added as she caught Ryder’s eye. There was something about the way he was looking at her though that was making her melt a little inside and she found herself sliding closer to him, before leaning up and pressing her lips against his. She’d learnt by now that Ryder wasn’t always the quickest to pick up on signals or hints and if she wanted something, then she usually needed to make the first move. “Thank you.” She murmured vaguely in between kisses, not really able to put a finger on what she was thanking him for or what exactly he was making her feel with that tongue of his.
