Chapter Text
Wylan and Jesper officially become a couple. And while Jesper is as charming as ever—always knowing just what to say to make Wylan feel loved—deep down, he hasn’t really changed. He’s still the gambler, still drinking too much, still stumbling into trouble. Worse, he doesn’t act as if he’s truly committed to their relationship.
Wylan keeps telling himself taht it’s only a rough patch, that Jesper is only lost and will find his way eventually. But with each passing day, it becomes harder for him to keep believing it, and harder to hold the pieces of their love together. Deep down, he’s already waiting for the moment Jesper grows bored of him and walks away for someone new.
