older jamie bc reasons.

[undergrad]

Hey, cut it out. There's nothing embarrassing about studying fables. I'm going to be a curator — or a writer, maybe both! One day, that is. The first chapter would have to be on ... [ hmmm what a hard choice!! ] Bigfoot, obviously.

[... oh Jamie, don't do this to him.] I wish you could. I really wish you could become a spirit someday.

[undergrad]

[ it's kind of bittersweet, how much he wants to stay as they are now forever yet still wants to live a full life too. clasping jack's hand, he brightens with a wobble and laughs, startled. ]

Jack!

[ fuckshIT HOLD HIS HAND. ]

[snowymischief]

[Jack looks back, holding onto Jamie's hand, and stopping in midair.] Kinda hard to get used to, huh? Man, this was a lot easier when you were pint-sized.

[undergrad]

I feel sea-sick, fair warning.

[ this is a complete superman moment, fingers holding on and nothing else as jamie looks down. breathless, his smile is constant as he closes his eyes and savors the freedom. ]

I love this so much.

[snowymischief]

Oh, very funny. You were fine when I first took you flying. [Jack can't help but smile at Jamie's excitement. It had been a while for him, since he'd flown. So this was good for Jamie.] It's one of my favorite things about the spirit gig.

[undergrad]

You had me by the scruff of the neck and whisked me over the town, I wanted to vomit with excitement. And you were real for the first time. Shut up, basically.

[ reaching to swap hands, he smirks and tips his head, gliding backwards. ]

[snowymischief]

And you loved it. [Don't even try to deny it. He just gives them a little push of wind to float around slowly.]

[undergrad]

[ sighing sufferingly. ]

Yeah, yeah. I loved that you were real and we could zoom around like that. You were awesome.

[snowymischief]

Hey. Hey. I "was" awesome? I think you mean I still am.

[undergrad]

I guess ...

[snowymischief]

Oh, I think my grip is slipping.

[undergrad]

[ chuckling, he crawls his way over and hooks an arm around jack's waist. flying is scary ok. ]

Now you can't drop me.

[snowymischief]

No, but I can free fall. [THERE IS A SIMPLE WAY TO AVOID THIS.]

[undergrad]

[ ah, resting his forehead against that blue hoodie in case jack does free fall. oh god, no. fists tightening in the old fabric, he sighs and glances up. ]

You're amazing, Jack.

[ and it's sincere. ]

[snowymischief]

[Yeah, that's what he wanted to hear. But Jack can tell it's sincere.] Thanks, Jamie. You're pretty amazing yourself, you know?

[undergrad]

[ Smiling softly, he nods and brushes off the praise like it doesn't mean everything. ]

Oh, I know.

[snowymischief]

Wow, I really rubbed off on you.

[undergrad]

Excuse you, massive ego much?

[snowymischief]

Yeah.

That's why I'm saying I rubbed off on you. Who else did you get that ego from? Cupcake?

[undergrad]

I'm awesome in my own right, Mr. Winter Spirit. I always was.

[ puberty came with good looks and confidence for jamie. a lot of insecurities he covers up too, shh. ]

[snowymischief]

[Jack would totally agree with him, but not when it comes to teasing.] Suuuure. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

[undergrad]

I cannot believe I used to have a crush on you. How I never got crushed to a pulp is beyond me.

[ rolling his eyes as he flies, checking out the scenery. ]

Maybe I'm already a spirit and my power's invisible, badass Final Fantasy armor.

[snowymischief]

... huh? [REEEEEEEEEEEEWIND.] You did?

[He'll get back to whatever the hell Final Fantasy is.]

[undergrad]

And I think you just pin-pointed why I'm not anymore. [ honestly, jack. keep up. ] You're so oblivious, sometimes.

[snowymischief]

[JAMIE, WORST TIME TO DO THIS.] For the love of... right after the Merida thing, and getting that sorted out.

[Sorry, he just needs a moment to blush and hate his life and why is so stupid Bunny was right fdjkgfd FUCK.] S-Sorry.
