From this post on tumblr.
Jasper and Bella Headcanons as requested by anon ♥
(Keep in mind my personal HC for Jasper that he was a Black free man who was coerced into fighting for the confederacy until he could escape to the north, only to be psychologically enslaved by Maria before breaking free)
- It starts out with Edward becoming intrigued by Bella and his inability to read her mind
- Of course, upon bringing her home to meet his family, Edward notices Jasper’s ability to pick up on how she’s feeling
- Seeing as how Edward cannot pick up on any subtleties without reading someone’s mind, he encourages Jasper to get to know Bella
- These visits were always supervised and awkward
- Bella pointed out how awkwardly they were thrust together into this situation neither one of them wanted to be apart of
- Jasper finds her humanity and lack of self preservation amusing and finds he actually enjoys spending time in her company
- They can both easily silently communicate and are both relatively taciturn in their own ways
- Eventually they begin to mimic one another’s laughs and mirror each other’s smiles
- Bella always asks historical questions and how they personally affect Jasper
- Jasper always downplayed his experiences both negative and positive because he was embarrassed by all the attention
- Bella could always see through his bullshit and called him out on it
- Jasper always said he hated that she could tell, but he’d give himself away with a slight half smile
- After the dreaded 18th birthday party fiasco Bella is heartbroken by Edward breaking up with her for her safety
- Encouraged by their friendship, Jasper reaches out to Bella through email to make amends
- Bella demands to see Jasper face-to-face for her to accept his apology
- Upon arriving Bella lets Jasper know that he was already forgiven, she just misses Edward and the rest of the Cullens
- Jasper offers to stay in Forks as part of his penance
- Bella and he grow closer but Jasper keeps his distance physically
- After graduating high school with a dual associates degree, Bella asks Jasper to change her into a vampire so that they can be in one another’s presence without Bella’s life constantly at risk
- Jasper tells her that he isn’t sure he could resist the temptation of her blood, but does it anyway because he knows how much Bella wants this life
