Sometimes I think about scary and dangerous Monster Jon, who is very much not a lap dog, still trying to curl up in Elias’s or Sasha’s lap. They then cannot move because they must not disturb the baby on pain of having a whiny pouty monster. No Sasha does not use this as an excuse to not work don’t be silly, it’s the rules.
Basically having a Romantic Relationship is uncomfortable for jon , too many expectations he’s unsure how to meet, of what is and isn’t appropriate levels of affection. Having a dynamic with like. Clearly defined expectations or just completely free of the idea of A Romantic Relationship is very helpful for him. Yk. This is why having his everyday dynamic with elias also acting like a father/son or master/pet or creator/creation even outside of sex or supernatural reduces stress. Just. Do you get it.
