Chapter Text
"And, send!" Jay proclaimed, he attached the PowerPoint and submitted the project. "Thank Christ that's over" sighed Stephanie one of his partners for the project. Jay laughed "what, you didn't like having to cover for 3 other people's asses so we didn't fail?" She rolled her eyes at him "Those lazy fucks, not everybody wants to repeat classes every semester". He laughed again "Yeah, well I think we did really good. But enough of that crap, thanks for pulling through with me on this. You hungry? I'll get us food, my treat."
She took it in stride and had her choice ready "You read my mind Jay, let's get Noba!" She chimed enthusiastically, Jay had learned in their months of friendship food was always good for her morale. " Alright, they don't deliver but I'll call the order in. While I go get it, wanna find something to watch? Use my laptop to look." He started to get ready to go out in the chilly fall evening "You sure? I feel bad making you go alone." "Don't worry about it Steph, I know you hate the cold. Besides, seriously I would've cracked under the pressure if you didn't help me buckle down." She grinned but was a bit embarrassed looking away from him."Alright, geez you go overboard with the praise." Jay blushed a bit at that "S-sorry, I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable" Stephanie laughed "Uncomfortable is a bit much, I appreciate the compliments keep em coming!" He turned back as he opened the door to his apartment.
"Well then I will!" He fake pouted "I'll be back in a few, text me if you want anything else" She waved him off and pulled Jay's laptop towards her. Stephanie was a good friend, but what Jay didn't know was she was also a nosey friend. "Now... Let's read that browser history of yours JJ." She giggled to herself devilishly.
Jay was back in 20 minutes, better time then either of them expected. "Hey, find any good movie-. What the fuck Steph!" Jay looked in horror as he saw his friend browsing his porn history.Stephanie jumped a bit, lost in what she saw on his laptop. "O-oh your back already. That was quick..." She stammered, clearly caught snooping. "Why are you going through my stuff? Jay really wasn't angry, but confused. Stephanie started and stopped a few times before finally clearing her throat "W-well, you never talk about sex or relationships I was starting to think your gay. Which would be totally fine of course! But a gal gets curious ya know.. and this folder clearly shows your straight!"Stephanie looked down at the ground, her explanation not really making the situation any better.
Jay felt like he could die at this moment and be better off for it "Y-yeah I'm straight, uh listen about the weird stuff on their". She cut him off " it's not weird!... Different sure but, plenty of people are into S&M. Plenty.." her sentence ended with an emphasis that even Jay caught on to. "Really? Plenty of people..., like you?" Stephanie wordlessly shook her head "Listen, I'm really sorry I crossed a line. I shouldn't have snooped like that." Jay shrugged "Eh, honestly I don't care too much. I told you to use my laptop anyway and didn't clear my history so I'm partially at fault". "That's not true! It's 100% on me! She insisted. Jay laughed " Wow you really wanna take the fall for looking at my browser history" She chucked a pillow from the couch at him "I just don't want you to hate me now! Your my only friend at college now everyone I know graduated." She was a year his senior, but a mid degree major change had set her back a bit.
"Of course I don't hate you. Maybe next time I go out I'll snoop proof my stuff a bit but it's water under the bridge. " She got up and hugged him, not knowing what to do he just stood with his arms at his side trying not to overthink it. Her hair felt nice against his skin where it fell unto him and she smelled good. "Jay... can you let me make it up to you?"He gulped, feeling like they were at a pivotal point "sure" he dumbly answered "Well... I'd be lying if I said it was all an apology, if I knew you were a sub sooner I would've pounced on you earlier." Pounce? What is she talking about? He began to question only for her lips to collide with his and from that moment on she had him completely under her thumb.
