Jabian

Jabian (J/oy and F/abian) is the friendship or otherwise romantic pairing of Joy Mercer and Fabian Rutter. When the series first started, Joy and Fabian seemed to have something going on but the two didn't have a lot of screen time together in Season 1, due to Joy's disappearance, and spent Season 2 rebuilding their friendship. In The Secrets Within: Secret Scene, Joy said she still liked him and that "That new girl better watch out next term". It is certain that Joy liked Fabian before she disappeared, but it remains unknown as to whether or not Fabian liked her in return (he did once say that he didn't like her "that" much, although it is unknown if he was lying or not). Patricia has said to Joy that they weren't actually ever going out. During Season 2, Joy did everything in her power to get Fabian back from Nina. After Joy published a mean article about Nina, Fabian was no longer her best friend. After Joy and Fabian won Senet together, Joy asked Fabian "Friends?" and he shook her hand in agreement, meaning that Jabian had come to good terms again. Joy also has a nickname for Fabian - Fabes. They also kissed but it was only due to Fabian thinking Joy was Nina. In Season 3, Joy and Fabian have a very volatile relationship. Joy and Fabian were initally on good terms and the two became very close. However, after Fabian had rejected Joy, the two now rarely interact and have become quite distant, with Fabian working with Sibuna and Joy  helping Mara and Willow. Fabian (although as a sinner) also really upset Joy by telling her that she should be thankful that anyone dated her at all and that she would never go out with anyone else after her and Jerome had split up. Since Joy has become interested in Jerome Clarke and started to date him, Jabian did not happen in Season 3.. It's already confirmed that Jabian will never be more than friendship, because Fabian has showed some interest in Mara and Jerome and Joy do not appear as if they will break up. They aren't so close anymore, like they used to be in the beginning of the series, or in Season 2.
