★General memories

• Me and Jeremy had been friends since childhood and were basically inseparable that whole time. We did everything together and told each other everything. Well I mean, almost everything. He knew I was gay but he didn't know I was head-over-heels in love with him.
• We spent most of our time together in my basement. We hung out in my room too, especially once we started dating, but it was mostly my basement because that's where we could smoke weed without my mom smelling it (she knew and was mostly fine with it but she wasn't like, thrilled so we kept it away from her) and I had all my vintage games set up down there. It was a fuckin mess all the time. We were such gross teenagers.
• I was autistic and my special interest was vintage (80s/90s) stuff, especially video games! I had tons of retro merch, genuine games, and stuff like that! That's how me and Jeremy initially bonded, because he was the only other person that not only liked when I talked about that stuff, but talked about it WITH me! It didn't take much convincing to get matching pacman tattoos with him once we turned 16. I also got sensory overload pretty easily, which is why I wore my hoodie and headphones everywhere. Putting my hood up and even just wearing the soundproof headphones, not even necessarily listening to anything, always helped a lot. I stimmed a lot by flapping my hands, rocking, and bouncing.
• I was shorter than Jeremy and chubby, with lots of stretch marks between my waist and hips. And lots of scars on my legs from my "sk8r boi" phase.
• I had a mom and a dad, not two moms. They were divorced and I primarily lived with my mom because she was more responsible and was a bit better off financially. I saw my dad pretty often though, I think like a weekend or two every month I would go stay with him. They were still friends with each other and handled the divorce really civilly, but it happened when I was around 9 or 10 so it did mess with my head a bit. I was really sensitive about it and I think it played a part in my abandonment issues.
• I did not give a single fuck about cringe culture. I owned heeleys, multiple pairs of matching weed print boxers and socks, tacky pride merch, and I listened to Bob Marley and Kesha in the same playlist. I was Powerful.
• Jeremy attempted suicide once when he had the SQUIP. This was after he called me a loser at the party and stopped hanging out with me, so I only came to see him at the hospital once. His dad was there and I talked to him, he told me everything that happened and assured me that Jeremy was going to be ok, but I didn't talk to Jeremy at all. I think he was asleep when I came.
• When the events of the play passed, Jeremy did still have the SQUIP in his head and would hear it occasionally, but with a combination of Red Mountain Dew and honestly Jeremy just, becoming more confident in himself, he was able to keep it under control. He and Christine were an item for a little while, I think a couple months, but they mutually decided to break it off and were just good friends instead. I think she might've been asexual but I'm not 100% sure.
• Since Jeremy wasn't really broken up about the breakup, I sort of saw this as my chance to confess my feelings to him. I think we were in my basement and slightly buzzed, when I paused the game and basically just blurted out that I'd been in love with him for years and I hoped he wouldn't hate me or think I was weird. Jeremy was really flustered and we were both blushing really hard, it took him a few minutes to say anything! But uh, basically (he stuttered and cut himself off a lot) he told me he was bisexual and that he had feelings for me too!!! We were officially boyfriends after that.
• I have a lot of strong memories of Jeremy sitting on my lap in a beanbag chair. We'd smoke, makeout, smoke, fool around, take a nap. Rinse and repeat. Our sex was always very sweet and intimate, and I topped. Honestly we just loved cuddling more than anything.
• We went to senior prom together and it was one of the best nights of my life. Jeremy was good friends with Rich and Jake, who also went together, so we all hung out and had a great time embarrassing ourselves.
