a promise to return to 💍

As someone aroace one of my biggest fears is that I'm actually NOT aroace and people saying "you just haven't found the right person yet" are right

I don't want to fall in love, be in love, be in a romantic relationship and get married for something else than tax benefits

I love sarcastically flirting with my friends, hating on their terrible crush/partner choices and planning my future with my platonic bestie

I feel like if I wasnt aroace I wouldn't have that

Besides, People in love are scary, you met a guy less than half a year ago and you're already ditching your friends to sleep with him and then cry cause he cheats on you??? (Real situation btw)

How to fake a boyfriend: A Guide by Jamil

Jamikali au.

I saw someone headcanon that if kalim hadn’t insisted in following jamil to NRC he’d have ended up in RSA and thus this au was born

• Jamil is alone in Night Raven College. It’s everything he’s ever wanted. No longer dos he have to hold himself back, or look over his shoulder for enemies. Here the name Viper means absolutely nothing. Its the most relaxed he’s ever felt
• Kalim is in Royal Sword Academy and it is haaaard. He’s never been without Jamil this long. He’s struggling to do all the things Jamil used to do for him, and missing him desperately.
• Kalim still bas a magicam though, so he is calling jamil all the time, asking how to do this and that, or to tell him all about his day.
• And Jamil, he has to answer of course, its still his job, and whenever kalim starts talking about missing him and thinking of transfering, jamil has to talk him out if it.
• Jamil doesn’t want kalim here after all, but he has to be sneaky about it. Reassure kalim he can make it on his own, tell him how proud he is of him for doing this, etc. anything to convince kalim he should stay.
• And if it soothes some deep part in his soul to hear kalim praise the little things he did that he didn’t notice before, thats between no one but himself.
• But constantly recieving calls and running off to answer them in private, that makes an impression
• And being a bunch of young men, the assumption immediately jumps to love
• Jamil finds himself getting teased now for his “secret girlfriend”
• At first jamil is shocked, reflectively saying he hasn’t got a girlfriend,
• but when the others present their evidence, he finds himself in a conundrum
• He can’t risk exposing his place as a servant. Not when he’s doing so well. The last thing he wants is for others to look down on him, or worse, pity him.
• But he can’t deny something is going on without revealing there is something more he’s trying to hide.
• So he laughs awkwardly and admits it. He has a “boyfriend” named kalim
• He then instantly wants to hit himself because why couldn’t he have made someone up? Why of all people did he have to pick kalim???
• But he calms himself. A little grain of truth is always needed for a good lie. Maybe this is a good thing. Anyone who sees them video call will get the wrong idea and give him privacy. Surely now they know his “secret” they’ll let it go?
• They do not let it go.
• The amount of boys in relationships to those who want to be in them is widly unbalanced, and the whole of scarabia is quite eager to live vicariously through jamil
• He is bombarded with questions, how did they meet? What does kalim look like? Have they kissed yet?
• Jamil tries to play the gentleman who “never kisses and tells” but this only fuels the curiousity
• Now whenever he gets a call from kalim, dozens of students try to follow and listen in to his conversations. He can throw off most of them, but this is a magic school and some of these guys are born rouges, so he can never be completely certain.
• He has to be more ambiguous when talking to kalim, a little more flirty, just to keep the ruse going. Thank the seven kalim is todumb to notice.
• (Kalim absolutely notices. He’s screaming into his pillow wonderinf what it means. His best friend and long time secret crush is possibly reciprocating??? Is he dreaming???)
• Back in NRC, Carter is now on Jamil’s secret hit list, because he found Kalim’s social media. And what do you know it? The barren page just has pictures of jamil and kalim, wih kalim’s arm thrown around jamil.
• Sure, it hasn’t been updated since middle school, but hey, its a face tothe name!!
• And what a face! Cute and covered with golden jewelry from head to toe. This man is rich!
• Jamil is scrambling to do damage control. Is the al asim name attached to that account? How much do they know now?
• Fortunately this appears to be one of kalim’s throwaway acounts, from back when he briefly wanted to become an influencer but knew his family wouldn’t approve. It had lasted two weeks and had mostly been pictures of jamil and kalim doing cool poses. Embarrassing but not life ruining.
• There’s even a caption of kalim going “me and bf!” He means it as best friend, but jamil isn’t going to correct people’s assumptions
• Still the image is out. The news that jamil’s boyfriend is not just attentive, but both pretty and rich has hit the whole college, making everyone even more curious.
• Then the worst news: RSA and NRC are having a spelldrive tournament. And kalim is using it as an excuse to come over!!!! No amount of manipulation can talk him out of it, and jamil’s magic isn’t strong enough to work throufh a video camera.
• So Jamil is panic cleaning the whole dorm, and panic cooking up a feast, and panic pacing around the college, and everyone notices
• Somethings up with jamil and his boyfriend, and everyone is wondering. Did they hsve a fight? Break up? But they’re still calling regularly, so it can’t be that…
• On the day of the tournament, jamil wakes up horribly sick, having worked himself up too much. He still tries to reach kalim, but ends up falling down the stairs and faints
• When he wakes up, he is not alone in the infirmary bed. Kalim is curled up, half on him, tear stained face inches from his own.
• Kalim? He asks, confused
• Kalim promptly bursts into tears and hugs him tighter, telling himhow worried he was when he couldn’t find him, and how jamil shouldn’t have hurt himself preparing for his visit, doesn’t he know all he needed to do was just be there?
• Jamil blinks, mind still slow from the sickness as he asks “how do you know i was preparing for your arrival?”
• “Oh!” Kalim brightens “your friends told me!” He points tothe door of the infirmary, where as many of jamil’s classmates as can fit are squished into the doorway
• They are all grinning.
• Jamil is going to killthem all. Later. When his head doesn’t feel so bad.
• Kalim helps jamil lower himself back onto the pillows. “Don’t worry.” He reassures jamil. “I’ll take csre of everything. You just relax okay?”
• “But…but…” jamil protests, his brain still mush, but kalim soothes him with s gentle stroke to his hair
• “I can do it.” He reassures, painfully honest. “I’ve grown a lot. Besides” kalim lowers himself to place a tentative kiss on jamil’s forehead. “I learned from the best”
• The whole of the infirmary erupts with cheers and cat calls, but jamil is to tired to shut them up. He’s quite comfortable here in kalim’s arms.
• Maybe this new kalim isn’t so bad.
