Summary
Davey has always been too curious. His mother had said that when he scraped his knee after trying to climb to catch a star. His father had said that when he broke his shoulder trying to add an engine to his bike. His teachers had all said that when he interrupted their lessons to ask questions.
And maybe, just maybe, his curiosity was about to bite him in the ass. Because now he was tied up in a warehouse with the most powerful man in all of New York scowling down at him.

Summary
The thought slapped him across the face, totally out of nowhere. Jack wasn’t really doing anything special— he was just reclined in David’s bed with his dinner on his lap, and he had a few chip crumbs on his thighs. He didn’t look any prettier than usual. He was just being Jack, staring off at the posters on the adjacent wall, probably thinking about the color composition or some artsy thing like that.
And David was in love with him.
With Jack. David was in love with Jack Kelly, and maybe he’d been in love with Jack Kelly for years and was just now realizing it, because of a stupid plate of quesadillas and the stupid way Jack said ‘made sure it was kosher, too’ because Jack cared about him and remembered the little things and holy shit, David was so fucking in love.

Summary
Davey Jacobs was the most infuriating person Jack had ever met.
There were a lot of annoying things about Davey- he was a smartass, he never knew when to shut up, his eyes were stupidly pretty- but Jack never would have imagined that the most annoying thing about him was that he was so oblivious.

David thought Jack was walking out of his life. Riding away on a carriage to the train yards, leaving everyone that loved him behind? How was that fair?
Or: a little introspective on David's part on the final scene of the film, and how it should've gone (in my opinion)

Summary
Davey Jacobs is in love with his best friend. A simple fact he's learned to live with over the past few years. A fact he's had to face much more now that he is fake-dating said best friend. To get out of this conundrum, Jack was supposed to "dump" Davey in front of all their friends. Unfortunately, Jack is an idiot, and proposed to retaliate against Davey for their stupid argument earlier. Now they have to face all of the pressure from their friends to get married. And instead of being competent adults, they keep digging the hole deeper.
