thoughts on nikola/jamal

ok actually??? it's starting to grow on me. like i read 1 or 2 nikola/jamal fics on ao3 some time ago and went "wait. hold on yall might have a point"

im not as "foaming at the mouth"-y on the nuggets as with the bucks (like. the main reason i want them to win atp is because miami smoked my main bois 😭) but it's still really fun trying to explore the potential dynamics each player has with each other, just like with every other team!!

i guess i was blinded by my insistence on making jokic and fucking. aaron gordon friends since they were on the same draft class (like i have a triple drabble chapter feat. them in my drafts for a while now and now i just realized i need to work on that lol) that i didn't really get to see how jokic and murray would click together

and i guess they initially wouldn't since nikola would be kinda. aloof and just focused on hooping more than anything else, while jamal tries to warm him up to seemingly no avail? except nikola kinda secretly enjoys jamal's company, he keeps it to himself because he just. doesn't really know how to without making it look really awkward 😔

and then he starts emotionally struggling when jamal gets injured that one time, and nikola slowly but surely realizes how much he actually misses him being around. how much he misses that funky lookin smile of his, the little laugh that laughs at his occasional jokes. like.

he's got a Friend (maybe even more than that? 😳) but he doesn't want to admit jamal is more than just a teammate and he doesn't exactly know why,,, 😭

ok im getting a little dramatic here lmao but!! there's absolutely Something going on there but it's just. buried deep and it's gonna take some nugget bois opening up about their feelings and helping each other do so to get that Something out.

shit i actually kinda wanna write something about them at some point!! even if it's just like. a lil short story or whatever 💙❤️💛🤍
