Intern Jon just being a mess, he is trying so hard to get a good grade at work. Only instead of being able to focus he’s having these feelings. It doesn’t help that Elias keeps showing up, when he is most inundated with said feelings, and makes it worse.
Jon’s trash is filled with snapped pens from trying to keep his feelings under control. Or they’re just chewed to hell because boys got an oral fixation a mile wide.
He tries smoking but Elias shows up there, lightly scolding him that he shouldn’t take up the habit. Jon is trying very hard not to say, well if I had something else to put in my mouth. That is not professional workplace language.
Everyone thinks he’s a bit of a bitch, but the truth is he is constantly turned on and can do absolutely nothing about it.
Just Elias using the fact that he can know what Jon is thinking to drive him insane.
