aw, that really makes it worse somehow! but i love that dynamic. it’s likely navi even warned jareth about getting involved with him, not that navi would have been very convincing. all, “i’m a shitty person” while rubbing jareth’s thighs. but! that works with me. i think he moved to st. augustine from jacksonville around 2014/2015 (i need to double check my timeline) so a couple years ago works fine. it’s likely navi cheated on him if you want that to be the nail in the coffin for their short lived relationship? also! while he is a crappy boyfriend and not always a great person, that mostly stems from insecurities and his mood disorder, and a whole lot of self-sabotage. which aren’t acceptable excuses for shitty behavior, but at least it’s not navi being outright malicious. and would make sense why anyone would see something worth getting involved with.
