2. Anthony

Please 🙏

Yessss! @imsparky2002 @booksrbetterthanpeople @nerdy-chocomallow

It took both of these two quite a long time to open up and admit their feelings for one another. Anthony was quite certain Jesse still had feelings for Mylene and would never feel the same way about him, while Jesse struggled to come to grips with his bisexuality, largely due to his father. They danced around each other for so long, their friends almost gave up hope

It finally ended up being Anthony who confessed his feelings first. Jesse was working himself into a frenzy about a project he was working on, spiraling big time. After Anthony managed to calm him down, Jesse said that he didn’t know why the goth boy “wasted time” on him, prompting Anthony to tell the shy boy how highly he thought of him. Jesse ended up kissing him and the rest is history

Anthony tends to be extremely protective over his boyfriend, and doesn’t tolerate anyone harassing or messing with him for a second. He once punched an upperclassman in the face for giving Jesse a hard time about his father

They encourage each other to get out of their comfort zones, in different ways. Anthony motivates Jesse to have confidence in himself and his capabilities, to volunteer for a position he knows he can do well, and to take charge of productions. Jesse, on the other hand, helps Anthony to be more open to people, to show that he cares and to talk about what he’s feeling

Jesse is one of the few people with the ability to get a genuine smile out of Anthony. He doesn’t even have to try really, usually it’s just him walking into the room

Jesse simps big time over Anthony’s accent, he just really loves to hear his boyfriend talk

Most of their dates are to quiet tea houses and cafes, places where they just sit and talk, no big hassle and just able to enjoy one another’s company

Anthony loves their height difference. He’ll rest his head on top of Jesse’s and hug him from behind, or just pick him up to carry him whenever he feels like it

Jesse sometimes lets Anthony do his makeup, and when I tell you this boy looks amazing with dark eyeliner

Anthony will only wear anything that isn’t black if Jesse is the one that gave it to him. (Well…also Margo, but no one can say no to her)

Anthony knows several methods for bringing Jesse down from a panic attack, and will always be the first one by his boyfriend’s side when he starts to feel unsteady

2. Mylene/ Ivan

Please and thank you 😄

Awww, two of my favorite couples! @imsparky2002 @booksrbetterthanpeople @nerdy-chocomallow

They go on double dates at least once a month, usually more. They share their preference for keeping things lowkey, like seeing plays in small, independent theaters, volunteering at local nonprofit organizations, or just going out to get something to eat. They always have a good time together (Jean and Austin T will join them often as well)

When Anthony started dating Jesse, he not only got the terrifying shovel talk from Mylene, but from Ivan as well. It was subtle, slipped into a conversation, but the clear implication was there that if he hurt Jesse, he would be hurt twice that

Anthony has gotten all three of them hooked on tea, vastly preferring it over coffee now. They have their preferences but they’ll always try something new that he recommends to them

Anthony and Ivan are their significant others’ biggest supporters when it comes to their theater pursuits. Whether it be Mylene in a starring role or Jesse putting on and producing an amazing show, they’ll always be there cheering them on

When it was clear that Jesse was still having a lot of trouble coping with the whole situation with his father, it was his boyfriend and two friends (along with his mother, of course) that encouraged him to start seeing a therapist. He’s gotten a lot better at managing his anxiety since then
