Matchup for @m4r3tu
Thanks for doing an exchange with me! I look forward to what you write :)
== Twisted Wonderland ==>
I match you up with…
Jamil Viper
✦Pre-relationship:
You meet Jamil at a Scarabia party post-overblot, and the two of you instantly click.
The way you make jokes with him right off the bat, and the way you confidently speak to him, makes him feel assured that he doesn’t have to play social games with you.
He can tell what you’re about from the get-go, and that’s surprisingly refreshing for him.
You two bond instantly over a love of food, dance, and music, and you also bond over the hobbies you two don’t share in common. He likes that you’re not afraid to learn more about his likes, and somehow, he feels himself opening up to you quicker than average.
The same goes for you: Jamil’s honesty and desire to prove himself are admirable, and it makes you want to root for him all the way.
You don’t really realize that you’ve begun to let out the feelings you’ve pushed down for so long until they’ve already left your lips. And certainly not by use of magic; Jamil’s emotional intellegence and past experiences means he’s an excellent listener, and an ever better shoulder to cry on.
Hangouts often consist of going to new restaurants around the port town, gossiping about whatever juicy rumors you’ve heard in the cafeteria, and self-care days which are filled with endless relaxation.
Somehow, Jamil becomes someone with whom you can have an invigorating conversation about ethics just as easily as a peaceful day basking in eachother’s company.
✦Confession:
Jamil likely realized he was in love with you early on, however he was hesitant to say anything about it. His future has always been murky, and even as he rises above his circumstances, he struggles to believe that there is a world out there that will take him as he is, no strings attached.
But…
He does suspect that if there is a world like that, that you are almost definitely part of it. That you’ve likely already begun clearing the way for it to blossom, and for him to step into it.
It’s a quiet night in, with the two of you reading together, when he tells you. It isn’t grand or bold, but the quiet sincerity and passion of his feelings reaches you just as easily.
✦Relationship:
You two are a power couple, for sure.
You dominate the academic standings, and are never ones to trifle with, especially when you’re together.
Jamil is your biggest fan in whatever you do, whether that’s challenging his fellow basketball club members to a game, or playing an instrument for him, or just existing. He’s by your side 100%, ride or die.
And vice versa, of course. Your beleif in him and love for him have made him aim even higher than before, and it shows in his newfound confidence in himself and his abilities.
Jamil shows his love through small gifts he buys you from time to time, as well as just by being by your side, even when things are difficult or unsure. He’s not one to back down from challenges, and he’s certainly one of the most loyal people you’ll ever meet once you truly earn it.
(And you have).
You two have the most wonderful dates sitting beneath the starry night sky in the scarabia dorm, where you can see the little lights in the darkness until they disappear beyond the horizon line. Whether you’re talking or sitting in silence doesn’t matter, just that the two of you are there together. That’s all you need.
