But, in the cool, older sort of way, not the ‘fuck-he’s-almost-middle-aged-now’ sort of way. Like the gorgeous, mysterious uncle. Which probably makes for some incestuous connection, but he’s willing to take the incest metaphor over the old-age metaphor any day.
Of course he would rather be associated with incest than with old age, of course :D
So he indulges him, because he’s that whipped guy from the movies who’s lived long enough to remember TV shows when they weren’t reruns, but still falls for a Disney face.
I love how aware he is of how easily he falls for her eyes and smiles and her in general, and he STILL can't help it.
See, the thing is, when he said ‘move on’, he didn’t mean that in the move on, move on sort of way. He meant ‘don’t talk about it, just continue with all the gestures and looks and touching apart from the talking about it bit’ sort of way. Because that is how all his relationships worked. By not talking about it.
And boys will be boys and Jeff Winger is nothing if not a boy, and since boys don't talk all he's left with is desperately hoping she'll pick up on whatever he wants her to do that week, instead of doing whatever he pretends to want her to do that week. Never become mature Jeff, you're too fun this way xD
Aaand predictably, I enjoyed your Jeff and Annie, because you write them so beautifully and in character and everything, how could I not love reading them :)

AND YOU WRITE THE BEST COMMENTS. Just saying, because it should be said.
Their faaaaaaces in that gif, omg. They're always so happy with each other in this shy, high!school sort of way and I adore them, which is different because usually I'm all for the angst, but here I just want scenes like:
Jeff's self-obsession is the best thing ever, along with his constant insecurity about his forehead, heh.
I think I adore how Jeff really has no idea what he wants, while Annie wants him completely. But it's obvious to see that this is only because Jeff knows that Annie's feelings are very much in the teen!crush category and they can just disappear, while if he falls, he'd fall hard, because he's fall at some 36, having seen the world and knowing that this is it. Annie's 'this is it', on the other hand, is a little 'hot older guy' right now, which is my favorite thing about them. So they're inadvertently angsty along with adorable. <3

Then I shall stick to writing comments, shouldn't let the talent go wasted :D
YES ANNIE IS SUCH A TEENAGE GIRL and handles her crush with the serious attitude, like every teenage girl who falls in love with the guy and is positive she'll love him forever and that he is the best thing for her.
Accidental angst is fun :D Especially paired with their almost unmatched adorableness.
Also, I keep looking at that gif and I simply cannot get over all the prettiness. I MEAN LOOK AT THEM. THE EYES AND THE FACES AND THE LONGING GAZES I MEAN I CANNOT STOP LOOKING.
