A (sort of) AU where Jeremiah never left the circus and was raised with Jerome.
Summary: The Valeska twins are alone in their trailer while their mom is out keeping the company of strange men as usual.
Jerome watches out his window as a young couple makes out, sparking his sexual curiosity.
He suggests to a very reluctant Jeremiah, that the two should practice kissing on each other, but things end up going much further than that.

It's a cool, fall night on the outskirts of Gotham. It's late. The fairgrounds are closed but still lit up with white from the dangling lights overhead.
It's desolate and quiet. No circus music or popcorn popping. Just the obnoxious sound of crickets chirping.
The Valeska twins are in their trailer, lying in their beds - both in their boxers, nearly bored to tears. Their mother's left them alone yet again to frolic around with some drunk clown. Typical.
Jeremiah's lying on his back reading A Catcher In The Rye, as Jerome perches himself on his stomach - his chin in his hands, staring out the window as a couple make out up against one of the light posts.
He watches them intently - their mouths moving together slowly - their tongues peaking out to touch one another. It's fascinating.
Jeremiah sees him out of the corner of his eye and sets his book down for a moment, pushing his glasses up to see what's so interesting.
He rolls his eyes. "Jerome? Mind your business."
Jerome scoffs, rolling over onto his back with a sigh. "They look like they're having a lot more fun than us."
Jeremiah snorts. "Gross."
"You're such a square, Jer. Hard to believe we're related."
Jeremiah shakes his head and picks his book back up. He feels no shame in being the good twin.
"You ever kiss anyone, Jer?" Jerome asks, curiously - rocking his closed knees from side to side, feeling fidgety.
"Nope." Jeremiah replies, licking his finger and flipping the page.
"Yeah, me either." He lets out a sigh, and looks intently at his brother.
Jerome squints his eyes at him curiously, and gets up from his bed, walking over to his twin's.
He sits down on the edge and gives his brother a mischievous grin.
"What?" Jeremiah looks up from his book.
"Maybe we should practice on each other…"
