oh would you look at that it’s Projecting My Asexuality Onto Jon & Martin Time again already
anyway as soon as Jon finds out that Martin is also ace he becomes a huge cuddler. it’s the combination of Jon being touch starved basically ever since he and Georgie broke up, and their close quarters in the safehouse, and the idea that it is Safe for Jon to get touchy-feely with Martin because Martin won’t assume he wants to have sex.
obviously communication has fixed that problem in Jon’s past relationships, but even then Jon had sort of felt bad for getting into his partner’s personal space in a way that could insinuate that he was Interested, or in a way that would inadvertently make them Interested, when they knew that Jon couldn’t deliver on it. he usually let them take the initiative instead and tried not to cuddle them any more than necessary.
and for the first few days of his romantic relationship with Martin it’s like that too, until they finally figure out that neither of them wants to have sex. the next time Jon feels the urge to drape himself over Martin he realizes he doesn’t have to hold back, because Martin is definitely okay with cuddling and he won’t assume that Jon wants anything else from him, and better yet he won’t want anything else from Jon.
this sort of opens the floodgates for Jon “Touch Starved” Sims, which confuses Martin at first because where did this cuddlebug come from and what has he done with Martin’s boyfriend. Martin will be lying on the sofa reading a book and Jon will literally just walk up, say hello, and promptly lie down on top of Martin and go to sleep. Jon’s a good foot and a half taller than Martin so sometimes he’ll stand behind him, drape his whole body over him, and stick his face in Martin’s hair like he’s trying to turn himself into a hoodie. Jon is also now Finally allowed to be the big spoon and he takes full advantage.
and while Martin is confused but also very pleased and super Not Complaining about it, Jon’s just reveling in the fact that he can just casually touch his boyfriend without having to qualify everything he does or feel guilty about it or hold himself back from enjoying himself. he’s never really had a lazy lie-in in the morning before with another person and the first time it happens with Martin he sort of privately loses it for a couple seconds, he’s so happy.
