To be honest, you never liked Jerome's girlfriend. Not one bit.
She asked for too much, you could tell Jerome was getting tired of having to do everything and give his time to her just to satisfy the witch, he smiled even though he was tired. You adored him for being able to do such a hard task. You didn't like seeing him like this, having to try to give his time to you and his friends and at the same time, to his needy girlfriend. It was all too much, it was time for a talk. Between you and Jerome.
So that's what you planned for today, you and him sat awkwardly on the couch, trying to think of the things to say. zyou were nervous, you couldn't find the perfect reason why you were..you just were really nervous. Jerome seemed to nervous too as he smiled and chuckled, turning his body to properly face you, smiling sweetly. It somehow calmed you down.
"Seem to be a little shaky." he asked, glancing at your shaking hand. You only chuckled nervously.
"Too obvious?.." you ask, making him roll his eyes and grin.
"Why did you make me come over here anyways? What was so important that I had to cut my recording?" he asked, you felt a pinch of guilt there.
"Sorry I disturbed.." you spoke quietly, Jerome immediately sets his hand on your shoulder, making you look up amd blush ever so slightly.
"N-no! It's fine...It's probably way more important than just some game. Friend to friend, y'know?" he said, smiling as he removed his hand from your shoulder.
Ouch, Friend to friend. You thought, you were hurt. Well sort of. This already happened before, getting friendzoned by your own crush. It felt horrible and you didn't want to experience it ever again, you hated love until Jerome waltzed in your life. You felt stupid for falling for someone who had a girlfriend. But yet again, the girlfriend was nasty.
"Right..okay uh.." You start off, looking up at Jerome who was looking down at you, waiting for an answer.
You couldn't help but just stare into his eyes, they were gorgeous.
"Uhh..Y/N?" Those simple words caused you to jump back into reality, making you blush and look down. Now is not the time.
"Jerome?"
"Hm?
"What do you really think of her? Your girlfriend?" You asked, refusing to make eye contact with the man infront of you, believing it would be too awkward if you did.
"Wow I uh.."
"You don't have to ans--"
"No. No, I should. Listen, to be honest with you, we started off happy and sweet, y'know? The typical start of a relationship. We were happy, so in love that it annoyed everyone. She was my world and I was hers, we were so cheesy our friends had to go out of the house when we came over. I thought she and I were the perfect couple in the whole universe, I was finally happy. Until..until she decided to go a little nasty." You listened, happy you finally got Jerome's real opinion on her.
"She was needy. Asking for all my time and not even caring for my friends, for you, even. She got jealous way too easily amd would easily get mad at me, refusing to talk and not letting me explain. She asked for too many expensive things and that's when I realized she was probably just in it for the fame. She started off nicely and sweet until she can finally feel comfortable around me and act needy and nasty. She wasn't the perfect girlfriend at all."
"So..if you don't mind me asking..what do you plan?"
Jerome looks up at you and smiles "I plan to leave her behind. Go on and live my life. Possibly with you."
You sat there in shock, he said it so..casually, you almost laughed. But then realized he wasn't kidding, it wasn't joke time with Aceti. He was serious.
"Did I just basically ask you out? Yup. I did. In the most casual way ever."
You stare at him. Happy. You were about to date an idiot.
