They could start a project together, like renovating an old place that was significant to them as 13 - year - olds. While working on it, they face challenges and have to rely on each other. This makes them see each other in a new light. Matt might notice Jenna's determination and Jenna might see Matt's creativity, which were not as obvious when they were just friends at 13. This new - found respect and admiration could lead to a romantic relationship as 30 - year - olds.
One unique way is to have them go on a road trip together. They can visit places that were important to them when they were 13. Along the way, they talk about their dreams, fears, and how they've changed. This would allow their relationship to grow deeper as they understand each other better and might even fall in love if they haven't already. Also, they could meet some people from their past during the trip which adds more layers to their relationship development.
The relationship could be developed through shared secrets. For example, they could discover a long - lost diary from when they were 13 that reveals things they didn't know about each other. This new knowledge could bring them closer together as they are now at 30.
Well, their relationship could develop differently by having Matt be more forward about his feelings from the start. Instead of the somewhat hesitant way it was in the movie, he could be bold and confess his love earlier.
Perhaps in the fanfiction, Matt is about to get married at 30, but he has doubts. He starts to remember his time with Jenna when they were 13. Jenna, on the other hand, is also having some relationship problems. They meet again and start to re - create the fun and innocent moments they had when they were 13, which makes them question their current relationships.
One plot idea could be that Jenna and Matt go on a time - traveling adventure together that is related to their experiences in the movie. They could revisit important moments from when Jenna was 13 and Matt was in her life, but with a new twist this time.
Matt could be developed as a very empathetic character. His act of holding the hurt pigeon shows his initial kindness. As the story progresses, he could become more determined to help the pigeon, showing his perseverance.
They could start a secret project together, like building a super - advanced gadget. As they work on it, they share their dreams, fears, and secrets. This shared experience outside of their regular hero/vigilante work can bring them closer.
A really unique way to develop their relationship could be through a time - travel plot. Maybe they both get sent back to a different era in the Upper East Side's history. There, they have to rely on each other to survive and adapt. This would not only test their relationship but also give them a chance to see how their families' legacies have shaped who they are today. They could come back to the present with a much stronger bond.
Another way is by introducing a third party that has a vendetta against both of them. This would force Shirosaki and Ichigo to protect each other, not just because it's the right thing to do, but because they are the only ones who understand the threat this third party poses. This common enemy situation can make their bond stronger as they fight side by side and gradually learn to trust each other more.
One way is through shared hobbies. For example, if they both love flying on broomsticks, they could have special adventures while flying. They might discover a hidden flying path that leads to a magical place only accessible by air. This shared experience would bring them closer.
The relationship could be developed uniquely if the human has a special ability, like being able to communicate with animals on a basic level. So, they and Dogmeat can have more in - depth conversations that other humans can't have.
Another way is to join fan communities related to 'matt'. There, you can ask other fans if they know of any great matt x matt fanfiction. They might be able to recommend some hidden gems that you wouldn't find through a simple website search.
