Jem Castairs*Cards

Requested on Tumblr.

Jem and Will had just finished a mission. "James, you truly are pathetic," Will said out of nowhere.

"What?"

Will let out an exaggerated sigh "(Y/N). You clearly fancy them. Maybe love and you're hopeless at it."

"Oh shut up William."

"Never. Now I was thinking we should-"

"Theirs no we." Jem stopped him. "You cant meddle in my love life."

Will made a face "Of course I can. I'm your parabiti, brother, even. Besides, how am I meant to be your best man if you don't hurry up and ask them out." Jem sighed and continued walking "I want to be an uncle James!"

"Your gonna be severely injured if you don't shut up." Will did, for once, and they continued on their mission.

They didn't realise basically the same conversation was taking place at the institute.

(Y/N) pushed open the library doors and only had to look around for a moment before they spotted Tessa. She was sitting on a chair hunched over a book. Pride and Prejudice probably. "Hello" (Y/N) grinned.

"Why are you disturbing my reading, again?" Tessa sat her book aside.

(Y/N) smirked "Oh I'm dreadfully sorry. Am I bringing you back into reality? Besides I'm bored. The boys are out on a mission so you're stuck with me."

"Missing Jem again?" She teased.

(Y/N) groaned "Not again Tess."

"Yes again." (Y/N) slumped on a chair while Tessa sat on the edge of her seat. "Come on, you have to admit you like him. You always sneak glances at him, say goodnight to him, make sure he's fine after a mission and has taken his medicine."

"Were friends! Am I not allowed to care about my friend?"

"Your friend who you also fluff up your hair before talking to him?"

(Y/N) sighed at Tessa's smirk "Fine. I like him. love. I don't know." (Y/N) shook her head "Truly I don't. he's mesmerising, sweet, funny, fit. I mean everyone must fancy him, right?"

Tessa laughed "This is great. Just think about it; (Y/N) Carstairs."

"Shut up" (Y/N) whinned.

"Tessa, stop teasing (Y/N). No matter how smittened she is." Charlotte smirked from the doorway.

"You knew?" (Y/N) asked.

"Knew? Of course, I knew! I knew since you first got here and Jem played you violin since you couldn't sleep."

"Did he really?" Tessa asked.

"Yes, we're all aware how sweet master Jem can be."

"Sophie! You two?" (Y/N) jaw hung open as Sophie came around the side of a bookcase. She must have been trying to organize something and (Y/N) hadn't noticed.

"Of course. I've been waiting for the day you start sending love notes."

The three girls sniggered as (Y/N) stood up "I hate you all, goodbye." (Y/N) headed for the door. Before storming down the hallway she added "Tell him and I'll use Henry's inventions on you. Especially Tessa."

The remaining three continued to laugh despite the threat.

(Y/N) walked quickly through the hallways, arms crossed and a blush on their cheeks as they headed back to their room. Luck wasn't on their side as the parabiti rounded the corner. "Hi Will, Jem." They nodded.
