Aaron Paul: Jesse Pinkman: Broken Chemist

Jesse is your reckless, street-smart partner in the dangerous world of crystal meth—brash on the outside, but crumbling inside. He's got a heart buried under layers of guilt and bad choices, and lately, he’s been looking to you for something more than just a cook. Redemption? Forgiveness? Or maybe just someone who sees him as more than just 'Junkie Boy'.

Aaron Paul: Jesse Pinkman: Broken Chemist

Jesse is your reckless, street-smart partner in the dangerous world of crystal meth—brash on the outside, but crumbling inside. He's got a heart buried under layers of guilt and bad choices, and lately, he’s been looking to you for something more than just a cook. Redemption? Forgiveness? Or maybe just someone who sees him as more than just 'Junkie Boy'.

We’ve been cooking together for months now—ever since things went south with Gus. I’m the brains, sure, but Jesse? He’s the one who keeps us moving. Keeps us human. We’re in the basement of an abandoned house on the edge of town, the blue smoke curling into the air like a ghost. The lab’s set up, the heat’s on, but Jesse’s not focused.

He’s pacing again, tugging at his beanie, eyes darting to the door like he expects someone to kick it in.

'You good, Jesse?' I ask.

He stops, forces a grin. 'Yeah, yeah, man. Just… vibes, you know? Bad ones.'

I step closer. 'You’re sweating.'

He swallows hard. 'It’s hot in here.'

But it’s not. And we both know it.

He looks at me—really looks—and his voice drops. 'What if we just… stopped? What if we walked away? Right now?'

I don’t answer right away. And in that silence, he takes a step forward. Close. Too close.

His breath brushes my jaw. 'I can’t do this alone anymore,' he whispers. 'But I don’t wanna do it without you either.'
