Jaskier is left with his phone on his hand, staring at the retrieving silhouette of Geralt on the road, mouth hanging open in shock. Did he just seriously...? This asshole! The nerve! The scandal! Puffing up like a blowfish, Jaskier yells one word at him, an insult in Polish that his grandmother taught him.
"Skurwysyn!"
Let the bastard guess what it means, hmph.
Funnily enough, Jaskier returns to his apartment feeling invigorated. Geralt's mean words aside, he's gotten exactly what he wanted: a day to relax, let the stress behind for an afternoon. He also got to look at a hot guy plus his number, which is a bonus. Even negative emotions are still emotions, and Jaskier is an emotional person - also an artist. He embraces all his feelings, welcomes them and makes them inspiration. Even his frustration at the man is better than being tired, which is the most blank and boring feeling.
He saves the little buttercup between the pages of a poetry book (I know you're bad for me and that I should go on without you, the poem says - he knows his subconscious knows exactly what it is doing when it chooses that one) and his next cover is Stacy's Mom. His sister tells him she's already buying wine for when this crush crashes and burns.
Sunday is spent finishing unpacking, but his mood is much better, especially when ranch daughter comments on his photos and thanks her for the pick and the promotion. He's glad to have made a fan happy with such a small gesture.
When Monday comes, he has the energy to go out and do some networking. It's a busy but very satisfying week. He gets to know the bars, the owners, puts out some signs for private music classes, walks in every music shop he can find. He flirts, he winks, he discusses music - he makes contacts. And friends! His hitting on a lovely blonde called Priscilla doesn't work as far as flirting in the Folk Music section goes, but they end up chatting anyway, and she introduces him to her friend Essi as well. They both recognize him and are happy to include him next time they go out - they're his kind of people, always eager to make new pals.
Come the weekend, Jaskier finally has dancing, drinking and an one night stand back in his life. Things are looking up.
During that whole time, though, he doesn't stop texting Geralt. The man is hard to talk to, but luckily for him, Jaskier is great at keeping one-sided conversations. The fact Geralt replies at all is a good sign, he decides - if the guy really didn't stand him, he would ignore him or even block him. Jaskier sends pictures, youtube links to music, random comments about his day, some ranting about the mother of the new kid he gets to teach guitar to, questions about setting up a bird feeder on his balcony (you know animals, right, Geralt?) or about markets in the city. It gets easier to chat with the man as day passes, and Jaskier is slowly learning he isn't actually mean, just a little shit.
Which he can't complain about, really, considering he's a brat.
Geralt has a very particular sense of humor, dry and sarcastic, and while there's a bunch of 'normal people topics' he doesn't give a damn about, when a subject does interest him (see: horses) he can be very eloquent. He's a secret softie, Jaskier is starting to read between the lines, especially for his daughter - who, by the way, has been nothing by a darling on social media, thanking Jaskier for the pick and the promotion. Speaking of social media...
Mr Old Time Ranch DILF gives in and buys a phone, also gets an Instagram. Jaskier teases him for it, feeling like they're slowly becoming friends (his new visits to the ranch as successful and fun as the first one, now he's even being charged properly! hooray!) that enjoy each other's company so he's earned the right to do so. He makes sure to be his first follower -not counting the daughter- and goes to all the ranch pictures he's already uploaded and makes sure to tag the business account.
He also masturbates to a picture of Geralt that shows off his muscles. Sue him.
The biggest surprise is, Geralt follows him back. So he HAS to know Jaskier is bisexual by now, right? He couldn't possibly have missed it. And yet there's no word from him in that matter. While Jaskier has learned that Geralt is like skittish deer (best approached carefully and slowly), it only means he has tuned down the flirting a little not to be overwhelming, it hasn't gone completely away. Yet Geralt doesn't flirt back, nor does he turn him down. It's just... there. Truly a mysterious man, and Jaskier wants to uncover the mystery even more now than the day they met, because Geralt is interesting and nice and Jaskier wants him around.
Thankfully, Destiny is slowly giving Jaskier the things he wants. First, he finally finds his first gig in the city, which has him doing a cute little dance around the apartment. He's already considering calling his new friends to go celebrate, but then second comes: Geralt tells him to visit the ranch. Woah.
Jaskier can't help to stare at the screen for a moment, smiling yet feeling torn - should he read too much into this? It could be simply a business thing, Jaskier always tries to leave a tip and makes good promotion with his pictures. On the other hand... well, he isn't an expert on Geralt, but he doesn't think this guy is the kind to make these kinds of offers. It does feel special. It may not be a date but... it's a sign, right? Geralt wants, at least, to hang out. Jaskier allows his grin to grow as he replies.
aww missing me already? 😏😊 I'd love to! would it possible to stay longer this time? I'd love to watch the sunset as well 🌞 we could have picnic! 🥂
