Anything For You

Chapter 5

Very short chapter, for this is just a filler. But here you go! Sorry it took so long guys, so much shit has been going on, and I finally was able to update.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, Dirk didn't sleep well one bit. Though he'd fallen asleep pretty quickly, he just woken up only a good half hour later. With no avail, he didn't fall asleep. Turning on his side, he looked at Jake. The heavy sleep, Jake, lips parted slightly, and a calm expression on his face. A sigh escaped the awoken one's lips, only to unwrap his arms around from Jake, easily slipping out of the bed -earning a mumble from Jake- He leaned down to kiss his forehead, before turning around and walking to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Afterwards, Dirk went to the living room. Rethinking everything that had happened that day. Whether it be the marriage, the fight. Holy fucking shit a lot of things happened that night. Though, Dirk could probably consider this as one of the best days for a while and right before he went to bed, he managed to have a small smile.

The day was a pretty good day overall. The marriage was defiantly dominating all the bad things that had come over him that day. After another sigh, not wanting to let his mind wonder too much, he got up and went back to the bedroom. Ying down though not getting under the covers. Immediately, Jake realized the presence of another human being, and rolled to his side so that he was pressed up against Jake. Dirk looked at him, smiling softly, and placing his arm like it was before he had even gotten up, and closed his eyes. Humming. Though he couldn't sleep, he made sure to keep his mind on Jake's presence and nothing else. Considering he was still unable to sleep.

While Dirk was peacefully resting, Jake half opened one of his eyes and noticed that Dirk was outside of the covers. He grumbled and rolled further into Dirk, hiding his face on his chest, "Why're you awake, love?" he slurred, not quite wanting to wake up.

"Just couldn't sleep," Dirk replied with a yawn. Completely and utterly exhausted, "Meh, just go to sleep. Everything is alright."

"Mmm," He mumbled, "D'you want breakfast?"

Shaking his head slowly, Dirk sighed to himself. "No thank you, I'm fine."

This was where Jake had begun to get worried, making an effort to lift his head up, he looked at Dirk with a yawn. "Are you absolutely positive that you're alright?"

Dirk nodded, "Positive," though he said positive, he honestly didn't know if he was alright. He knew he wasn't horrible, but maybe not completely good.

This time, Jake made a huge effort to sit up on the bed, looking at Dirk in the eyes with a slightly disappointed expression on his face, as Dirk too sat up "You're not happy," He said, after a few seconds of though. It defiantly wasn't a question, it was a statement.

"Why wouldn't I be? I don't have any particular reason not to be happy," He brought his knees to his chest and hugged them, barely looking at Jake.

"I don't know why but you're not happy," Jake sighed and looked away, "I can tell you're not happy."

"How can you tell?" Dirk looked at Jake again, tilting his head to the side a bit. "I am positively, absolutely sure, I'm happy." He lied.

Jake looked back at him with a worried expression plastered on his face, "Why couldn't you sleep then?"

"My back is starting to hurt," Dirk said quickly. It wasn't a lie. It was starting to ache, but was that the full reason? Nope.

"Is it really just that?" Jake bit his lower lip softly, not knowing if he should believe the blonde.

Dirk hesitated, "Yeah." But that reply only got a frown from Jake, "Jake, really. I'm perfectly fine." He said, managing to pull off a horrible, reassuring smile.

"...I'm not very reassured," Jake sighed, "I don't know if I believe you, but okay. You know you can talk to me about it." He murmured, and just as Dirk was about to reply, Jake continued to talk. Gulping, "I-If you decided you don't want to get married after all... I won't be angry..."

"No! No! No!" Dirk said quickly and immediately, "Don't think for a second that I don't." He went silent for a single moment, "I'm just in one of those moods, y'know?"

Jake kept his eyes on Dirk for a few seconds before looking away, nodding after thinking for a second. Slowly, he turned back towards Dirk and wrapped his arms around his neck, pressing their naked chests against each other. The other had wrapped his arms around Jake's waist. The warmth of Jake causing him to relax. That being said, Jake himself relaxed. Satisfied.

Dirk lifted his face out of Jakes neck, resting his chin on the other's shoulder. "Well, I'm defiantly awake. How about yourself?"

"I am rather awake as well now that you interrupted my beauty sleep!" Jake said, pulling back a bit and smiling teasingly.

"Pfft," Dirk said, smiling oh so lightly. "If you're calling that beauty sleep, than you defiantly don't need to sleep a lot considering you're already beautiful," He kissed Jake's cheek.

Jake's face turned a bright shade of pink, blushing like he always did upon hearing comments on his look. "Oh, Mister Strider!" He said, smiling.

"Hey, this is changing the subject, but I'm getting quite hungry right now. How about that late breakfast like we planned?"

Jake grinned, and nodded. "Let's go make some late breakfast!" and with that, he was up out of bed, grabbing Dirks hand and pulling him to the kitchen.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He asked, turning to him when they were in the kitchen.

"How about pancakes?!" Jake said with overly excitement at the prospect of a good breakfast.

"Pancakes it his!" Dirk pecked his lips, "Let's try not to burn them this time."

Jake pouted comically, "Hey! That was one time!"

"They still tasted delightful." Dirk nudged him, a teasing expression on his face.

"Dickprince." He muttered, as he got the mix and everything else in order to make the very, late breakfast.
