Take a Chill Pill - Assorted Be More Chill Stuff

Boyf riends Headcanons

Note that these are old headcanons from when I was just getting into the fandom. They don't really carry through the following fics, so don't let these determine whether you're going to keep reading or not. Give the stories a chance, please.

Jeremy is taller by 4+ inches, but he's all limbs. He can still melt into Michael's arms and will still definitely borrow the sweatshirt.

Despite being physically smaller, Michael is outside the hugs, will carry Jeremy (often bridal style because I like that one), and rather than pulling himself up for kisses, he pulls Jeremy down. He can also pin him down easily (think of that how you will).

Michael knows good acting from bad acting ("this is way too good for a school play") and is a total film critic. He makes Jeremy watch old classics and will take him to the theatre (where he will comment on everything, earning scolding from Jeremy who just wants to watch).

Despite being a theatre kid, Jeremy doesn't know or care what acting is particularly good or bad. He picks movies for pure entertainment value. He drags Michael along to opening night of every Marvel movie (with threats to his well being if he talks through them) and insists on regular Harry Potter marathons.

Jeremy is a potterhead.
Michael read the books to please him, but never really got it.

They both agree that old Japanese monster movies are garbage, but they watch them anyway.

Christine is their biggest shipper and spent most of the time she was dating Jeremy trying to get him to realize his crush and set them up.

When he comes over, Michael will always come into the Heere's house shouting "Michael makes an entrance." It made Jeremy cry more than once at first, but he learns to love and expect it.

Mario Kart and Smash Bros tournaments which end with them either stoned, fighting, screaming, cuddling, or banging. Sometimes a mixture of any and all of those. Often, they'll start stoned.

Jeremy is a strategic Smash Bros player. Michael plays tanks and mashes buttons to considerable effect.

Mario Kart is the game they play the most casually, though they spend the whole game trying to slaughter each other.

Jeremy loves Starbucks (I just adored this one when I saw something similar somewhere). Jeremy with Starbucks. White girl Jeremy with a pumpkin spice latte or a frappuccino. He will avoid the brightly colored drinks, though (unless it's like strawberry or mint or something that's supposed to be that color).

Jeremy learned the hard way not to trust any baked goods offered to him by Michael.

Jeremy is flustered by everything.
Michael is flustered by nothing.

The remains of the SQUIP have become a joke between the two, where they make sure to be extra gay when it shows up. It hates it.

There is a constant supply of Mountain Dew Red available at both of their houses, in Michael's car, and in their lockers just in case.

Jeremy immediately shuts down Michael's self-deprecating humor, but still falls into self loathing and tries to hide it from Michael. Michael, of course, notices immediately, and distracts him however necessary (and offers doses of Mountain Dew Red just in case).

Neither of them really shorten each other's names for pet names, opting for casual insults instead.

Neither of them ever demand cuddles. They just sort of happen when they're hanging out. They'll end up tangled together wherever they were sitting and neither of them know exactly how it happened, but neither of them complain. They did make absolutely positive to get wireless controllers for every game system they could, though.

Jeremy hates being picked up unless he's tired, stoned, or they're making out. He doesn't like having his feet leave the ground when he's fully aware of his surroundings. Michael is well aware of this, but will still lift him up and carry him around because he likes seeing him freak out (and Jeremy will cling extra close, which is a great bonus). Michael isn't particularly strong, Jeremy just weighs next to nothing.

Michael will turn casual kisses into full makeout sessions in public. Jeremy is super self-conscious about people staring at them (which is exactly why Michael does it), but won't pull away (despite a lot of stammering and blushing).

They had to google how to have sex when they first wanted to, seeing as how neither of them had much of a non-SQUIP social life and health class wouldn't have covered gay sex, even if either of them had paid attention.
Once they knew how to do it, Jeremy was the one who always suggested experiments. Michael thought it was a nice change of pace, but was also really worried about some of the suggestions (and honestly a bit scared).

Jeremy likes slurpees, but hates 7-11. He'll usually just ask Michael to get one for him.
More than once, even before they were dating, Michael has just come back with an extra large slurpee and two straws.

Neither of them can sing, but they insist on karaoke duets when drunk/high at parties (I just love the idea that musical characters (who can obviously sing) can't actually sing in-world).
Jeremy can actually manage in a chorus, but can't do solos and won't sing very loudly if sober because he's self-conscious. He still likes to sing, though, so he's in choir at school.

Michael is still really into silly bands. He coats his arms in them, particularly in the summer. Jeremy has a few (really a lot but not anywhere near how many Michael has) that he'll wear to match.

Neither of them verbally confessed their love. Michael kissed Jeremy during the SQUIP-cident, and the SQUIP blocked it from Jeremy's memory. Christine, who had witnessed it, helped him remember and set them up on their first date.

Jeremy is a sentimental hoarder. He keeps ticket stubs, pictures, presents, letters, and every possible physical reminder of events tucked away in a shoebox (he has more than one). He had a huge breakdown when he found out the SQUIP had made him throw them away, and Michael had to show him every picture he had of them together since they'd met.
Michael keeps pictures. His phone storage is overflowing with them.

Michael is terrified of snakes. Jeremy finds them fascinating.
Neither of them like spiders, but Jeremy is better at swallowing his fear for long enough to kill it (while Michael is cowering).
Jeremy hates bees and wasps and everything. It doesn't help that he's allergic to them.

Jeremy will hug Michael from behind and bury his face in his hair.

Michael loves driving. He follows the rules pretty well (though he'll definitely speed if there's no one else around). He will blast music through always open windows.
Jeremy likes riding along when Michael drives places (and will kinda hang his head out the window bc the wind blows through his hair (Michael thinks it's adorable)), but hates being behind the wheel. He has a permit, but not a license and doesn't intend on getting one anytime soon.

Michael is an emotional drunk (as seen in Michael in the Bathroom, where it can be assumed he wasn't completely sober). He expresses his emotions more and will vent about every little (or not so little) thing on his mind, often with tears.

Michael mentions that he might want to get contacts. Jeremy freaks out bc you can't steal someone's contacts and tease them about it and he loves doing that with Michael and his glasses.
Michael discovers that it's way too much work to get contacts in and out, so he gives up within a few days and goes back to his glasses.
Jeremy is very relieved. As cute as Michael is without glasses, Jeremy likes being able to cause it, rather than expect it.

They're Heathers nerds. It's an old classic movie, so they know it inside and out. The stage play only helped. Of course, as mentioned above, neither of them can sing well, but they'll belt all the songs anyway.

Michael makes prank calls. The quality depends on how high he is when he makes them.
