"Look, dude.. If i tell you this, you can't tell Chad.. alright?" It was weird to hear himself saying he wasn't sharing this with Chad, the otherwas his best friend after all.
"Yeah man, no problem…" The blue-haired male shot a smile towards the albino, comfortingly placing a hand on the other's red-hoodie-covered shoulder "Come on then, It's better to share your problems then keep them all.. bottled up Bro.."
"Yeah, I know." Jeremy had heard that line over and over again, not from Mordecai, but his own conscious He didn't want to keep this from Chad, but it was for the best…Wasn't it? Breathing out sharply, Jeremy looked at his blue-haired friend.
It was weird that, he would seek help from someone who at times he could really be pissed off with. The two had a little bit of a clashing personalities problem, at the least. But the blonde knew, Mordecai was a good guy, and would probably be the last to judge him for this. At this point, Jeremy wears his ironic smile, knowing full well the feelings he has on this topic are far from something to smile about.
"Well..? Are you gonna tell me or—" But Mordecai was cut off by the blonde, whose face was dusted with a bit of a pink flush. "I am! I am! Alright.. It's just.." Sighing the blonde's face fell to his hands, trying of thinking how to say this without sounding, as weird as it was. Finally breathing he just, pushed himself to say it. No weird wording, just basics.
".. I'm in love.." Inhale, exhale. "With.." Inhale, exhale. "..Chad." The room went silent a moment, but only a moment before Mordecai spoke. "Well, I knew that already.." Chuckle. Had it really been that obvious to the other? The thought made Jeremy blush a little. "..is that why you looked so down in the dumps then bro? I mean you two are in lov—" Interrupted again. "No, he's not in love man.. I am, It's just me.." One sided heartbreak.
"Ah, well.. are you sure..? Has he.. y'know clearly stated that he doesn't love you..?" The idea made Jeremy blush even more, and peek out from behind pale hands. "Of course he doesn't" Pause. "He and I just do sex, that's all it is..You know Chad, he doesn't do relationships." It was then Mordecai laughed, shoving Jeremy in a soft and playful way before he spoke. "Yeah, but Rigby and I were just sex, and look at us now."
That was true, he'd know that the two roommates had made the leap from FWB to, lovers. The proper term, being boyfriend. They seemed to be doing fine. "Yeah, I guess.. but.. Chad and I are differentMordecai.." Shrug. "It's just not like that." Oh the loss of hope from the utter trueness of that statement. They weren't like that, at all. Jeremy was sure that Chad was, well. Chad and he didn't want anything like what Jeremy did.
"Its.. just.." And there was the breakdown, Jeremy hiding his face from the other again. Using those hands to cover any exposed part of his crying expression. "not like.. that." Jeremy's words are muffled behind pale palms as hot tears stream down the albino's cheeks, Mordecai moving his hand to give the crying form a kind half-hug type thing. For that moment, Jeremy's happy someone's there, that someone understands what he says when the words "It's just not like that" are uttered.
