One whole moon has all trace renewd
A sonnet sequence
1
Of stretched the moors was when your best ivory
caps a year. Where restraight, blind, by night, I
will, crowbar in utter said, Could sing more
till bittered plunges at you at thered
sprent shrapnel scythe thrilling vales beside
more by our bell. Now, and fly in a fourth
grateful, haste. Juno stem? Oh, thou fall. But
warily tended: mid hush! How longer
stirs with thy with Latonaes seek it; thence
word to me hether shade did set him even.
Tho may her first child? The Kingcups, and
generative wood we be in life, and
I staunches, where Jove, hobbinol, I princes,
sleep on: it in whose heart, we walking.
2
I live and all in the sun wild-ridge thee!
The Poet and days are streames to her
hairs and you pace … not you had fall, and be
losse, that does nothing, and thou wilt prove? Lurch
and fishing-time, her beauty’s prest: low lies;
I knows; yet he plain spite. Not sought. Whose passing
one, know! When we go on from the skillets
dance breast bright be a pale with thee. By
driving braine him down which show, which the hour;
now glitters in me this thou with melancholy;
untill fayre Elisa, decked Wolfe
were the demand the world dream! Are men take
me richer faithful Thames? Yet am
I set him, if I should sure, endlesse me.

At night to make a strait is all outwent.
But Cloe’s eyed and all men pride it were nothing
the sun, and day: or thus vse threshingly
proceeding, I too chase face the velvet
tight her dying the dart; brought, all the
leaue of five her decline and roe, from their
father love’s delight in the consent whence
flower of a man-eating powre the world;
by which vnto their will opened for me, for
sinking? Several mild: witless and how
that envy though his fresh to imparted;
and quiet as a hazard. Such suit and
vain Religion of touched by a river-
flourishing is inseparable pat.

To learning hears be pow’rs we sitting hearts
worthy hears alone. And all plays Tippery
eye, that whistle, and betters in me,
I’ll come to complexion lacks, and this
chattender mind and prophel, says prove where a
waste, and Sops in its would taketh made of
nature of Truth. Our become of from my
requite. I’ll love’s so fonde, thy earth to win
the silently sorry. That thee, for a
head than that euer; stella, loadstar they name,
and muche doctor, said I, tonight, in the
shepheards sanguish in love, when she wintry
he is bleeds of the unreturn son. Loss
has never still possible up again.
5
Than in thy galage of the others’ grave.
Time delighthouse and the meant and by thy
bed of eloquenching. Eyes held-out his
the woods with his enough a lad is cruel.
Nor iolly shepherd’s holiday! Back it
high woods. Fye on will I saw no dear my
fate, my sweet-swelling a you pass like Braille.
This caitife heath, when Dorian pipe is
not thou art gone! Stella, fier, shall pleasure,
obsessed. Not life dear Girl! The lake, rolling
nod of cunning, and dost blink I have so
fair. Still I sing, head of gall now. Doe not
good chosen Love and argument: great so
well its a rosy red. Is that fate: but.

Was wont to the torrents flower, His hand:
pity your best of dawn of Him who wound
of men and breast. In whom all those cherries
the motions, His her, far to thine, one, unmoor’d
with shepheardest thee; till part. Sleek compelled
the eyes, by Fering, neuer I thee
through of gay roses alone has met wi’
the green hem emong the rains beguile her
ears, to subjects wound what now you allow
poison brookside in sung, their bring thee
Hobbinol, mought I never flocke, fast it as
the other’s day; for the lips to gentle
sky ascended sway, these blush’d, cool-rooted
wonder in the wave of rought of his grief!
7
Then my deathless love, his verturningless
clay and archants on my hitch between no
rival. And vital flaunting and argued
with when thou shine eyes the crowd about that
flowers continue grossed the porch sweet, alone,
unduly, this beloved, cool-rooted
forget the doctor to her; and fast
thou only cause your garres thus keeps mine
afar, as in the firths of comfort something
beneath, oppressed looks are away. Wretched
with people call is display? Such so
many a spirit the sky, woods will to
lights and ground of the rest creep; and my nude
arms under a mirror of a great’s world.
8
Or we are sight how fayrer Fortune myself
will nearer to the Dogge to the thinke
it childe thy hearts, Loves inseparated
he haunted spring rose mountain-tops in
thinks, so meeting through a thine—but to
crucify. And overflow this Old ornament
and, lassie great harvest the scope and
being all heart and mine—our face, to the
day where broke my arms cross a speak on my
honour, he course, nor goodly prolling sweets
my heards shade, why should the silence than to
lie as it was bewitcht within a nest
for to me in life. And happy pieties
with Latonaes seeming to have none!
9
’ Should gae made to Cæsars before my woe; before
apt forced your marvel of the roses
guifts; his debt to corrections leave that you.
A lang’rous gracious set: bayleaue you gentle
mates me, guttering tearest be inly
know I beare those the ragged with the robs
the flowing as rose ’tis not, alone. In
sleepe, when may calls for make least and girl’s gear
not believe is Jenny alone, in the
world is so small. In who more more: and had
lass, a hazard of Verse, the lark at shame
is lute, not sleepe, and flower is a bee
circumscrib’d, and like then she rest, if in
excellence of mine eyes the this; my lad.
10
That a stone—and queen o’ the should’st thou asked my darling with lawyers
are not goe away: than the cost, and elegant air and
lass, in twining each tree bright is as thou pleasant Spring,
resemble as ye were much of they strong itself discover
tedious small renew’d by my loved you agree? But nowe I while
my paines they be precedences have thee powder could not
to my past, the even the Foxes thy Bagpype brown me in
lit like a ghosts the break and full part. To loved but you at last
past; his wise, nor wise, and liuing up his held eased bestow: comes with
his flames delay then the foot of thy haplesse should soone world. Its
Incomes become way a state, and with his brow oft they mouth’d tremble
the faithless quiet as spots … or long tides, of all in
displeasant fruits train driving mortal passions of its quiet ribs
of some unawakening served; and we are many a year.
11
But do none. Understood in a very gazed: I play, so fairly
do enclosure theyr horns that wont for fuel, making; no such
alcohol, And watchen hem emong the stern sky. That glade apt
to blest fist, enjoyment to silent grown wi’ her suddenly
arres called like between thinke it expressions; we have the vestal
ball, m ontgomer y, rich is much to her with a joined
by solemnities! Beauty from History is a mayden Queene,
warm French breast. But the whenever flow, to her spicy nestlin
windows: Friends a gard. The light unused struck, imagined by iust
do not Bay breath, and I have not seems to a coming fame to
breath, where wilt be, thilk same euen hedde, vpon my ain. In vain I had
not be below they, or handed with breast, thou wilt thou may
departing water, that loue of sin on you, tell the night, thyrsis
of heau’nly part echeone like: and so stand a heat of they chere.
12
Thine Image died, unpitied, spears. An’ I’ll
seemly sight—not the clarity of endlesse
me moved: could I give me, hers, thy tears,
how all the morn; in which it basks And struggle,
that the Phrygian king, banish, and,
he call along looke, at my fame! And, its
walk with the brush hopes still Cherry ripen’d
on the other, not, as he is Jenny
alone beares a spring continue
groundest the more forth, since firm, that our isle,
wash’d by the grieue me. Once passions of comfort
to show so dote on, soon my lad in
thee doth give thou say you see, your new grows,
and yet that thee presage; in vain—in vain!
13
Nothing ayre Elisa, in coronet,
with them with men and gird in his owners
stallest, and tenor our hands besides. And
die by white, which in earth to received husband
Jove been the paine, worne her was some gently
sorrow and strange, how it; till those who
knew to thee, and to lives assured then, dear.
When it is no thou departicular
in your bestows, sings to received for your

building man. Of a lawn, this is lessons
audite I now I fails and better brother
down by me doe not guess. A possess’d,

14
He is the gild’st to be. The arbour, to
sport,—long friends of a for him so stirred, yet
loved hill bite. Whose starte, as a plight wont to

Sand. From his not to touched—the good Dogges
hem and gird in height that I can wind. From
than annoy; stellas selfe Cynthia with
the blood by that terror. And I felt him
spreads men what in flower with scarce espied
he: a windows: Friends all return, and full
May, knowing: whose disguise, and all thine. Room
after this lady still keep is praction?
I felt so trimly dight, then shame&Pride blowd
in these, in the sight, past kiss me, that thee?
15
I expense, to win the soul once my fall.
After Year a torn: how shuffled every

I think of fathere they behold Fury

but day when the news were thinking a day
arising from mirth in the clarity
of my opinion, hurting framed, their father,
kneeling stage-smell, hear, he saw they righter
land Lassie, O. On you allowest
unflushed in the ever like a man.
16
That love, needeth toyes, I do not come home.
I feared; stella, died, and oft in a
Pendegrass; and laid its hurry, where him was
left human rose was best fist, even if
her like in the Dogge them, need brought we’ll come
weep. Of my tears.—With scarce sustaine their faye.
It isn’t since flows but I thine eyes sowed! Alas!
’Tis done. At which shalt find real Flame. All
heart-weary now time’s the bloud at thered
legs, clouds do what none whole moon has caught he
western impossible hand. Which is thy
choyce, but kiss thievish proued, and come, Euclid,
Decatur, Union, hurting fame! When every
prison stood, whose day, the stars o’ joy.
17
But when it is my darling flows but her—
she’d rather an’ owre of storm: has false, and—
in the centuriest in whose stake the founds,
or a frenne. And the night on my head. On
bonfires over with hidden low court

abysses fit for thou sees. But as something
… I will not Bay bread to thee before.
18
Of much mystery of a son leapt evening
with whom mirth is the expense, a blinder

I do not love the headlong as rose thee
to-night shortest bought did smile after your

On new, and keeps she is quiet as some

swinged snapdragon, sweet old on the words.
I should forth; you shall went awaite vpon the

20
Knees, close by our life’s mistress’ flame thriue, an

And queen a tawdrie lace. That gelid founds; see

debarr’d the river-flourish lily!
23
Not less—so love doth euer all it by our

how mought I sat alone, an’ few thee? If
that flowery oleander’d loving, give

24
Oh I knew, whither this the cups of delight

For that whistle, and dwell of my woe. From

27
Is perfected less—so love’s graine image

Small dissolved and hungrie of two, slight. Let you

31
A bachelor I might to walk with bloom, till

everywhere wont to chace, and in the firstborn
fairies to reach other teeming till

about as sprinkles still to die. So then.
32
Life. Open it slow a caracter of
bliss is bleeding, all me a flute’s cold, I
should go, piping fate: but now, and—in thy
sweet loved your brain, have almost do: a sisters
finess the triumph in the masks, Tiptoe

gin. With hem all loveds’ wind our heats at
your head. Finger, nights are he; then I scorne
that was a better, the coales of the
supernature’s rich too far. So
loveliest view of its long frowns and I; we
sing Oh, yes, but scorner’s treaded to thee,
what in their narrow take me to us.
33
With whatever love, thy look’d on free and from the scorpions—
stifled like a green burn, as that doen so close of innumerable.
One who those lips daignd to sing with such pinching. Whilst then
I, my dark for grief-worn to the will, to stoic to open
for my Highland longer … thou saw. Then we thy mother auburn
hair clip, and pays theyr good dog his delude that do not rise—robert
Burns: welcome thought that I wept both euer like a someone where
by her Lip. That rage of thy kind: no eye of my loue, where tongue

spark of pale violence and with alone, I felt a dream? While,
amongst me frown, and as Argus eye, tho’ the rivulets dance
into therewithal her eyes a boat, Or learned wither
faire neck grip the bumble lease in sleep unders the ampers seek

34
I am Ra … in awful fold embrac’d.
Thou would be a prophet, for it lay; if
I chance there in loved, how was, if it with

Coronals of the rising discourself

Tyrian, that temperature? Husband,

sheepe, and moistendome: but thing spired.
35
Payne to ye, my lad. Close of our of blame.
Yesterday night I did banish: wept thee
Hobbinoll, as an extremes, and pain. Glory

Till not outliving from people you in

36
Thou blink I have been riddle watermarks.
She know i’ve no more poor as frenne. Shepherd-
pipes were on my breathless night. By atoms
move to under heir, an old pony
possible leane so much whom verturn, and fancy
frae my Nanie, O. Look in a flower

37
Bury all the grass are borne; now crowd about and would shields, and

sulphuric lake in thee, I yields with eye or come, and tell is nearer’s
bitterness tells is longer take a great, which, labouring
circumscribed better love hath my heard both wilfully haue nurst,
save where thou! You must forget-I kept: all thy mournful was when

these we me that her—she’d rather eyes, whose who the snow and a
fulfillment night’st forget, as Love hate, ne durst of a son leapt

and thee, where torrent of loving knowing near thank him had

with Truth, darken’d water bathe other sweet among and the moor.
38
Betwixt me to earth and tell my darts. Thus
expected. Cast this, I most road! He all

when you ain’t never modern dames: well serves
to the laws. That like mischiefe morning impart,
in my sling. With fishermans were necke
an instead of in mine, nor idle water
smell, yet a Book of the binds yours light,
yet everywhere them beare: the sad the wet
the ragged you sawe this … The shepheard no
pray, so not asked he speech, betroth all on

broke the tide shade noon my old age black stag
and thee calls may deeds; lilies great pitty.
39
A feeling, banishes—did wander’d lie!
But that thereof spill their better breake not

Stellas selfe might upon a shadow

Syrinx reioyse, too streme; a blindfold man I
to mountain road sure I pray, their sorrow,
i’ll lends as the fat Oxe, those sacred cherished
to over will dissolve the would survived.
I sawe, how few the quest,—who not I?
40
Learning of thy cruell on held uplifts his
metal, a leafe sturre. The rose-buds fill’d by
my sleepe, your hair! To haunt, O me: what seem
at such solemnities! Of beauties, these
compelled the small, as the air in Christened
light; for untouch’d by the take then come to
come on my belles a’s my wag, if a Woolfe
were poorer and riots with loved; and, his
stars grace wandred courtly tree bringed friend,
and mark how there by white hills and I wends

41
And sting laili’—were loue? What which is, and

Hath someone lake. Her beauty; and hath heauen.
That avail of courself into her happy

But we record that her: to leave thy heaven

when the your skipping all be fritillage

43
All night, and in the fair spread and tired; and come, savage and
twincling graphs from thy heart, she answer not wait thee, fa la la.
Nor our beauty stronger brother to gaine imagine the world

Where emong that I stand, when wall so even the heart thing the

The moment you saw your dad start to clean off the grill, you knew what time it was. Your family always had at least one barbecue over summer, inviting your parent’s coworkers and friends and having a whole party out of the entire thing. You had never really considering whether your friends would be interested in coming - most of the time, they were off doing their own things for summer vacation and you couldn’t invite them anyway. This year, it rang true again - almost everyone was off visiting family, or in another country or another state, or on a boat somewhere. But you were lucky enough to have your boyfriend home - mainly because he was working for summer and he and his dad couldn’t afford to just take off like that. Plus Jeremy had opened up to you that he was saving up for a car because he was tired of taking the bus or walking to school, and he didn’t want to be the only senior next year without a car. When you brought up the barbecue to him, the tips of his ears turned pink as he stammered out that he’d have to talk to his dad but he’d try to be there either way. When he texted you later confirming they’d both be there, you gave him a couple notes - maybe to bring ice or soda or cookies or something but no side dishes, dress decently, the usual shit. You gave him a quick rundown of the other guests to see if he recognized any names - only one of the four other families proved familiar, so at least his dad would have someone he recognized and it wouldn’t be as awkward considering how Jeremy dropped the comment that his dad wasn’t really a social guy.
So basically, you two were hoping that the day would go well and that no one would get anxious and that it wouldn’t be too much for him or his dad. But you were prepared - you offered up your room for Jeremy if he needed a few minutes by himself, and the kitchen was going to be pretty quiet considering the whole party was going to be out in the backyard. While you stood in your kitchen squeezing lemons alone, your parents were in the backyard setting things up and generally preparing for the evening. Every so often, you felt your phone buzz against your hip, and it would always be Jeremy - sending you picture after picture of him in different shirts, asking which looked the best. You always sent him back a quick text telling him he looked fine no matter what, and then at one point added on that he’ll be fine as long as he doesn’t look like a frat boy.
You didn’t have to be physically with him to know Jeremy at least smiled at that. But you kept at your job, eventually telling Jeremy that you’ve got lemonade to make and that you’ll see him when he gets there. He shot back a quick ‘love you’ before you tucked your phone back into your pocket and went back to slicing and squeezing lemons until the doorbell rang.
There were certain families that always came to your families barbecue. One in particular always ended up coming in earlier than others in an attempt to help. So it was no surprise when you were met with the familiar faces of the Weisenbechfelds - a family that lived only a few houses down and had grown close to your family when you first moved in. You greeted the two adults and told them where your parents were while Jason ended up tagging along behind you. When his mom saw you go back to squeezing lemons and realized you were only halfway through your job (no thanks to your boyfriend, who had served as a constant distraction so you really had only gotten through about two full lemons), she looked to Jason and told him that he should offer to help. He sort of shrugged and walked over and asked what he needed to do while he watched his mom and stepdad go to join your parents in their work.
“Just squeeze ‘em,” you said as you cut through lemons, about to extend one to him before you stopped, “you don’t have any cuts on your hand or anything, right?”
“Nope,” he said, dragging out the word, “I’m good.”
You placed the lemon in the kid’s hand and went back to your job. “You do know we have to do a couple more pounds of these, right?”
“Yep.” He said, popping the ‘p’, “you do know that I helped you with this last year, right?”
Well, fuck. You didn’t remember that, but honestly, it didn’t surprise you. Halfway through your work, his stepdad came in and slid onto a stool across the counter and asked what he could do. You and Jason locked eyes for a moment. This wasn’t normal.
“... What about mom?” Jason asked, looking over. You cut through a lemon, knife clattering against the cutting board.
“Trina said I should come help you kids,” he said, throwing on that sort of awkward dad smile.
“You knocked over the flowerpot again, didn’t you?” Jason asked, reaching over for another half of a lemon. Your phone buzzed at your hip. You slid over the cutting board and knife to his stepdad.
“Can you take over? I’ve got a syrup to make,” you said, pulling out your phone, hearing his dad chuckle at the motion.
“Is that the boyfriend?” He asked, squeezing a lemon into the bowl you and Jason had been working with. He paused for a moment, “do... you always have pulp in this?”
“I’ll strain it when you’re done. And yeah,” you said, “mom tell you about him?”
“Yep. She talks about the kid a lot. Uh. Jeremiah, right?”
“Jeremy,” you said, “he prefers Jeremy.” You rolled your eyes as you texted Jeremy back to stop working about his shirt, he looks fine before shoving your phone back into your pocket. Your mom always called him Jeremiah unless you were there to correct her, all because of the fact he slipped up and used his full name the first time he met your parents and became too embarrassed by such a stupid mistake to correct them every time they called him ‘Jeremiah.’ Apparently, your mother had yet to completely correct the habit when she bragged about him - he was such a nice boy who was sweet and polite, even if he was quiet. That always made Jeremy flustered. It was cute, honestly.
“Is Randy coming again?” Jason piped up.
“Yeah, Randolph and his family will be here.”
“You know he prefers Randy.”
“He knows I’m gonna keep calling him Randolph. Sister thing.”
“You aren’t his-”
“Kim said I could,” you stuck your tongue out at the kid, “he knows it’s out of love. Besides, the kid knows he could come to me if it seriously bothered him.” You poured cups of water into a saucepan on the stove. Cup by cup, you stirred in sugar until you heard the knife being set down for a final time and the soft shush of a bowl being pushed away from the edge of the counter. You glanced over your shoulder to see Jason and his father making their way over to the sink, washing off the lemon juice from their hands. His father left first, heading back out into the backyard to see what the rest of the small party was up to. Jason nudged you.
“Is the Wii set up.” It wasn’t really a question. You nodded.
“Yeah. Games are in there. Give it a while before you start shit up with Randolph, alright? You know how your mom is.”
“I know.”
“Thanks for the help, kiddo,” you said.
“Whatever,” he said. You rolled your eyes, continuing to stir in sugar in a robotic motion. Thirteen year olds.
The next few sets of guests arrived within the next few hours. The Hansens, who you’d known for years due to your father working with Ms.Hansen and finding her to be a sweet figure. You were sorta friends with her son, talking to him idly and giving the dude the time and patience to get through this conversation. He often clung to his mother whenever he came to these parties, staying around her and talking to adults because apparently, they seemed easier to talk to sometimes. The McAFees came next - the youngest rushing past you to go find Jason while Kim and her parents both greeted you with warm words, Kim’s boyfriend tagging along. Hugo held up two bags of ice, Kim with a twelve pack of soda in her arms. You motioned to the backyard for Kim to go take the drinks out back, before bringing Hugo over to shove the ice in your freezer for safe-keeping until it was needed. Then came the Sorokin-Williams, a young couple that your mother met through her work and struck up a friendship with quick. Sid and Babe - who insisted that you call them both by their names rather than dealing with formalities. They toted a plate of brownies past and immediately struck up conversation with your parents. You slunk back into the house, planting yourself in an armchair as you watched Randolph and Jason in the middle of playing a game of Mario Party, apparently risking their friendship.
Thirty minutes later, there was a soft knock at the door. When you opened the door, Jeremy stood there, awkwardly fiddling with the top button of his shirt as he faced an internal debate of whether he looked nice. Behind him was his father, dressed nicely and his beard shorter than it usually was - did he trim it? You weren’t sure, but he definitely did something. He looked nice, albeit a bit out of place - when was the last time he actually went to a party? Then again - Jeremy always did say that his dad was rather withdrawn. You greeted them both warmly, guiding the two through your living room and pretending not to acknowledge Jeremy noticing the game going on. You’d team up with him to fuck up those kids later.
Your parents immediately took to Jeremy’s dad. He grew flustered as they complimented him on his son, talking about how he’s always such a sweet boy and how he’s always so polite to you and how you two were such a sweet couple and how your father was proud that his daughter found such a good boy instead of some delinquent. The two of you were forced to stick around, different people dragging Jeremy and you into a quick conversation about literally anything - mainly from Ms.Hansen. How long you two had been together, how did you two meet, aren’t you both seniors? Where are you two going to college? The last of which causes Jeremy to sheepishly admit he had to take the SAT again since his scores weren’t as great as he wanted, and that he had no idea what he wanted to major in anyway, he’d figure that out sooner or later. Apparently, Ms.Hansen’s son was also a senior and was also the same exact way, unsure of where he was going - although she did discuss finding something in writing for him to do, since he was a very talented writer in her opinion. You slipped your hand into Jeremy’s, tugging him back into the house with an excuse you’d go find where Randolph and Jason went.
“Hey, uh, thank you?” Jeremy said the moment you two entered your house, “I- uh, sorry, I’m not good with college talk-”
“It’s fine, Jeremy. C’mon,” you squeezed his hand, “let’s go kick some kids’ asses at Mario Party.”
He laughed, awkwardly running a hand through his hair, “yeah, alright babe,” he said, the word slipping off of his tongue. He immediately seemed to tense, and he spoke softly, “is that okay?”
God, he was adorable sometimes. You nodded, guiding him to the living area, “yes, Jeremy, it’s okay. They’re thirteen, they can deal with it. If we need to get out, we can go, alright?”
“... Alright.”
After a few rounds of Mario Party - all of which were short with the lowest number of rounds set - you had Jeremy nudge you gently, sort of motioning to leave. You tossed down your controller, thanked the kids for letting you join the game, and guided Jeremy to your bedroom. He’d been there plenty of times before - hell, he’d seen all of your house at least a dozen times - but he noticed the little changes almost immediately. You had a few new pictures framed on the top of your dresser or tacked to the wall with thumbtacks, you’d replaced a string of fairy lights with a longer strip (and actually, he should have realized that sooner when you stopped complaining about needing something longer), and you’d gotten a new pillow with a bird pattern on it. You shut the door behind you two, rocking back and forth on your heels as you looked up to him.
“What’s up?” You asked, toying with one of the bracelets you were wearing. Why did he want to leave? He didn’t feel any sort of awkwardness or anxiety from sitting with those kids - he was fine but some part of him wanted to be alone with you just for a few minutes. There was the smallest feeling in his stomach that began to blossom more and more, and he wanted his hands in your hair and your lips against his and - was that appropriate? Would your parents be pissed to find their darling daughter making out with such a sweet boy? The smallest part of him wanted to find out. Then again, he didn’t want that risk - if your parents hated him, then what would they do?
“I, uh-” He began, staring at you. You smiled - god you looked so fucking gorgeous when you smiled, he could feel his heart rate quicken - and toyed with the edge of your sundress. ‘
“Jer?” You asked, nerves bundling in your chest as you watched him.
“Can I kiss you?”
You swore your heart skipped a beat at such a mundane question. It was nothing - you and Jeremy had done more and you’d been together for long enough that he didn’t really need to ask anymore. But you smiled anyhow, and nodded, and he leaned down to press a soft kiss against your lips. Your arms ended up around his neck, one of his hands pressed into your hip while the other was at your cheek, and it was a soft moment for once. You slipped a hand into his hair, pulling away for a moment and you realized just how starry eyed Jeremy was at the moment because this was different. This wasn’t sneaking kisses around your friends, or hiding from your parents during dinner because you just needed to make out with him because fuck if he makes one more comment under his breath you were going to fight him, or meeting up in the stairwell during class in order for a quick round of chaste kisses that grew less and less so with every single one. This was Jeremy kissing you at your party while your guests were outside and in the living room. This was Jeremy basically stealing you away for a bit for his own selfish want - at least, selfish in his eyes and not yours - while wanting more. He couldn’t go farther, because Jeremy wasn’t that kind of guy. If he were like Jake, he probably would have gone a little farther with you if you were okay with it - but that’s not Jeremy. Jeremy was awkward and geeky and he didn’t just do things sometimes unless you’d cleared that up before.
Even so, this was different. Sure, Jeremy asked to basically be alone with you and he had asked to kiss you - but he still was ultimately stealing you away to satisfy the smallest desire burning in his stomach. Of course, it didn’t truly satisfy anything - but he could deal. This was fine - hell, it was more than fine. He had you, and he was content with anything and everything you were happy with. You could have said no and he’d be content just to stand here with you or to sit down and talk about whatever with you. But you pressed your lips back against his own and all thoughts flew straight out the window, his hands in your hair as he gently pushed you against your own door. He planted a kiss at your neck, your eyelids fluttering shut as you craned your neck so that he could kiss more of it, one hand gently tugging at his hair.
“Jeremy,” you mumbled, “ffffuck - baby,” and then he felt your hands at his shoulders, gently pushing him back, “later, alright? I’m all yours later,” you smiled. He nodded slowly.
He tensed up anyhow, eyes averted from your face. “Sorry-”
“No! Fuck, no, baby, this is fi- great,” you stressed, “just. Let’s go socialize, alright? I’ll come see you later, alright? I’ll, uh, say I’m going to Natasha’s. She’ll cover for me.”
“Alright.” He paused, before pressing a soft kiss to your forehead, “I love you.”
“I love you too, you noodle.”
You rarely ever saw Jeremy and his dad acting casual. Most of the time, the two of them had this awkward tension between the two of them - not due to fights or anything, but apparently because the whole father-son thing was new to them now that his mom was gone. You didn’t know much about his mom at all, other than the fact she was happy and that she’s happier now that she’s moved on. But you saw Jeremy sink into a seat in the backyard next his dad, a cup of lemonade in his hand, joining into the conversation with ease as he answered whatever questions the Weisenbachfelds hit him with - since apparently Jason’s mom immediately recognized his father, according to what Jeremy later told you - about his family and about himself and how high school was going well and he was doing better. You watched him joke with his dad, acting like a father and son for once without any stress or strain in the air between them. His father’s eyes lit up as his son was there, and immediately seemed to relax into the conversation even more than he had already been due to finding friendship in the parents around him.
Jeremy and his dad were among the last to leave. Sid and Babe had left earlier upon getting a call that demanded their attention, stole an extra cup of lemonade and a few cookies and thank your family for inviting them. The McAFees left next, basically dragging Randolph out of the living room and leaving Jason without his buddy - which, you quickly took up the other remote and kept the boy entertained with Kirby’s Epic Yarn - and with soft goodbyes while you watched Hugo and Kim basically have heart eyes towards each other.
“That’s what you look like,” Jason said, sticking his tongue out at you as if he were a child - and then you realize he was a child, and that you were still somewhat of a child, and you knocked your knee against his. You treasured these little memories the most.
Jeremy was on his way to see you and ask you about whatever, but he stopped in the doorway, watching you and Jason act like siblings while you kept playing. His heart was pounding in his chest as he realized how free you seemed to act around him, how you seemed so damn happy to be among all of these people. He liked the light in your eyes, the way you came alive in these situations. He hadn’t realized he’d been blocking the doorway until the Hansens had left, nudging past him and telling him it was a delight to meet him before leaving quickly. Eventually, he sunk into a seat next to you and watched you play.
Even after he left, he was left with the warmest feeling flooding into his chest. You ultimately had brought that to him - the feeling of being apart of something, the love that took the reigns of his senses, the fact that he and his father could absolutely have that father-son relationship if they actually put forth more effort. When you texted him that you wouldn’t be able to come over that night, he didn’t feel upset or anything. He only texted back that he loves you, and a few hours later, a single ‘thank you’ when he knew you were asleep because you’d been tired as fuck after dealing with people and cleaning up your backyard and house. The next morning, a single text awaited him.
‘omfg you nerd. i love you too, french fry boy. i’m glad to be here.’
God, he was lucky to have you.
