[ Jeremy gets back from Laila's place where he went to just hang for a while to get his mind off of things. He doesn't leave Jean alone a whole lot, but he needed some time out of the house. Even then, he ended up texting Jean anyway, because it felt more comfortable. He knows Jean doesn't feel the same, but for Jeremy, the other man has been a nice constant around the house.
Getting home, he knows where he'll find Jean, so he heads to his room, knocking on the door frame as he pokes his head in.]
[ Jean hadn't really thought very much about the texts because they are, oddly enough, just becoming the normal with Jeremy. He still doesn't message anyone else much aside from Renee pretty regularly. She says a lot more than he does but he supposes that's also pretty normal.
He's sitting at his desk studying and the fish is on his desk, well fed and it's habitat kept well cleaned and such. ]
Hi. [ Jean returns, without looking up from what he was highlighting. ]
[ Seeing Jean studying even in the summer is not particularly unusual. Jeremy can't imagine what he must be studying for, but he knows the schedule at Edgar Allen was a lot different from what they're used to here. Still, sometimes Jeremy wishes he would take more of a break and try to get used to a more lax schedule, but he knows that will only happen with time. ]
[ The studying was less necessary but it kept him occupied and centered and prepared for the next semester and so forth. He enjoyed it, or maybe not so much enjoyed as it kept him from having to figure out what else to do with his time. ]
[Jean had spent his time studying and trying to study but thinking about Kevin instead and the fact that it was going to be a very long month before he got to see him again.
He contemplates the idea of drinking. There's plenty of alcohol available but somehow the idea of drinking without Kevin to take care of him is upsetting. When his phone does ring he picks it up on the first and doesn't care how that might seem.] Kevin.
[ Jeremy can think of about a hundred other things he could do with his time other than study, but he supposes that's why he's an athlete. Not the only reason, of course, but the team jokes around about it sometimes. Jean is such a good studier that he might even be a good influence on that front, come fall. ]
Do you wanna take a break? I bet you've been at it the entire time I was gone.
[ Well, Jeremy isn't wrong about that. Jean had been studying for most of the day barring when he had been working out and then he'd gone for a run. He doubts Jeremy really counts that as much different than studying the whole time. ]
