she hadn’t confided in bonnie, or even elena. both the girls had their own things going on that when meredith’s slayer potential came out to play, she didn’t want to burden her friends with worry. they were dealing with other things, after all. but jeremy jeremy was her best friend. he was someone she could tell anything to. so, she sits cross-legged on his bed, spilling her guts about this thing that was happening to her that she didn’t understand. she started out calm and collected, but the more she talked, the more she felt tears burn in her eyes. and they began to fall. and this person now is the exact opposite of meredith sulez.

he listens keenly, without interruption or distraction. at some point, he had reached out for her hand, and now their fingers were interlaced tightly as he wills her to draw strength from him. so much of what she’s saying resonates deeply within him, but jeremy refuses to allow his expression to give anything away. every once in a while, his eyes wander to the stained ink of his hand, but each time he forces his gaze back to her face; he’s the only one who can see it, after all. it’s only when the tears begin to stain her smooth skin that he moves into action, using their interlocked hands to pull her firm against his chest. “shhhh,” he hushes in a low tone, lips brushing against her hairline. “meredith, it’s going to be okay.” he has to tell her; he knows this is the endgame, but that knowledge doesn’t do much to settle the nerves in his stomach.
