Jealousies: Jackie/Hyde
Jackie feels nervous/jealous/insecure whenever Hyde talks to a young woman she thinks is pretty and Hyde might consider hot.
Jackie sometimes gets jealous of the long history of friendship Hyde has with Eric and Donna (but once she vocalizes this to Hyde, he reassures her they'll have a longer future together).
Once Hyde gets past his insecurity about Jackie's possible feelings for Kelso, he very rarely gets jealous when she talks to someone he thinks she might consider handsome but, most importantly, comes from money or is monied one way or another (legitimately).
Hyde sometimes feels jealous of Jackie's ease with talking to people (strangers, acquaintances). Mostly, though, he admires her ability to schmooze.
Other TV Show They Could Fit Into and What Role They Would Play: Jackie/Hyde
Hyde would be in April's role as Ron's assistant, helping Ron avoid doing as little governmental work as possible by messing with people's heads.
Jackie, meanwhile, would be Leslie Knope's Type A (personality) assistant. Totally ambitious while helping Leslie navigate the nastier side of politics. Jackie grew up with a father immersed in that world.
Hyde and Jackie seemingly would hate each other, having opposing views to government work. But ultimately would grow close like Ron and Leslie do except as a romance, not a friendship.
Tom Haverford would be after Jackie all the time. She would find him obnoxious and unwise in his businesses (although respect his aspirations). She would, however be part of his and Donna's Treat Yourself days.
Hyde can't stand Tom at all and would help Jackie by distracting him with pranks (a Jim/Dwight dynamic from The Office).
Younger Adventure or Experience They Had, Pre-T7S: Jackie/Hyde
When Jackie's in ninth grade and on the cheer squad for the junior varsity teams, she and a bunch of teammates graffiti up the girls' bathroom with Sharpies. They write insults about girls they don't like and rate the hotness of boys (e.g., 6/10).
Rating Hyde generates debate among the girls. One was to rate him s low as -1/10 while another finds some appeal to him and argues for a 4/10. "He's cute enough to make out with as long as no one finds out about it."
"Ew! I bet he doesn't even brush his teeth."
"I bet he doesn't even own a toothbrush."
And so on. Jackie, though, stays quiet during this discussion. She remembers how Hyde protected her in middle school and would rate him a 7/10, but she doesn't dare say a word in present company.
Later, when she's alone in the bathroom, she washes Hyde's name and rating from the wall.
Some time soon after that, the rating graffiti becomes known to Hyde, Eric, and Kelso through Donna. She sneaks them into the bathroom so they can see. Curious, Hyde checks for his name. All he finds is a faded Ste Hy e.
He recognizes someone erased him, albeit incompletely, from the bathroom wall. He asks Donna if she did it. She says no.
This moment doesn't leave him, and he wonders what his rating was and why someone would erase it. It rises in his memory when he fools around with Kat Peterson in eleventh grade. He decides, based on her treatment of (and admission to him) at Jackie's party that his rating must have been low -- but someone clearly disagreed and got rid of it.
Only when he and Jackie are over a year into their relationship and I-love-yous have been exchanged does Hyde tell Jackie about the incident.
Jackie says she knows exactly what he's talking about because she was there. He wants to know more. She recounts a version of the truth, that the J.V. cheer squad debated over his rating. A girl wrote one down that not everyone agreed with, so another girl washed it off.
"Was it low or high?" Hyde says.
"That's the wrong question."
"Who washed it off," Jackie says.
Hyde looks at her a moment. "You. ... Why?"
"Because you're a 9.5/10, but those idiots didn't understand the decimal system."
He's suspicious of her explanation, but he cares more about what he knows is her current rating of him. "Why'd you dock me half a point."
She smiles at him playfully. "There's no such thing as perfection. You taught me that. There should always be room for improvement, or we become S-something."
Hyde cups her shoulder and strokes her cheek with his thumb. "You could've at least gone with 9.9, huh?"
"--when you reach 9.9," she continues, "I'll write that on the wall of the basement bathroom, okay?"
"Sure." He kisses her then says, "Want to hear my rating for you?"
"Do you want to get into a fight?"
Hyde, understanding that teasing her will only upset her, drops it. He kisses her again instead.
