Jake (Duskwood) Oneshot Collection

Calm days

(kinda Angst with fluff?)

I'm on the run. Hiding from the same people that are searching for Jake. It was just a matter of time till they found me. But I never was one to give up that quickly. So I packed the most important stuff into a backpack and left. I turned my phone off except once a month to text my best friend and my parents that I'm fine. Of course I couldn't tell them the truth. It'd be too dangerous. Besides that I refuse to do anything that could help my pursuers to find me. No contact to people close to me, no paying with credit card, nothing. You even can't find me on the same place twice.

Today was a calm day. For what I can tell no one followed me. The sun sets and it's getting darker when I arrive at my destination.
I enter the empty company premises and look for a safe place for the night. After a few minutes I think I heard something. I freeze. There. A noise. Someone is here. Almost inaudible I move on and peak carefully around the corner. Nothing. Whoever is here is at least not right in front of me. But I'd be dumb to let my guard down now. They could be everywhere. Right after I thought about it, a hand suddenly clasps over my mouth. I try not to panic. In less than a second I recognize a male scent from behind me and already react. I stomp onto the foot of the unknown person, at the same time I ram my elbow back. A yelp of pain is heard and in the time the man is distracted I slip under the strong arm and run. Damn! Talking about a calm day...

As I run I can hear a male voice curse. But I don't stop. The area is big enough for me to find a hiding place. I end up in a tiny room where brooms and other things once were stored. Just when I was hidden I could hear footsteps coming closer. Then a voice. "Freaking hell, MC!" Great. They know my name. But then the voice continues to talk. Actually it's more some kind of mumbling. "You promised me to stay at home where you're safe." Hold up. Slowly I open the door of the tiny room I'm in. The man is standing with his back to me so I quickly make my decision and quietly step out of my hiding spot. Closer to the person I think I know. "Actually I just promised not to go to Duskwood." My voice barely above a whisper. The young man swirls around and looks at me. I can see so many different emotions in his eyes that it's almost overwhelming. Happiness, worry, relief, pride and something I somehow can't tell. "Jake?" I have to know it. I just can't be wrong. It has to be him. All the time he was the only one I promised such a thing.
He nods. "MC..." his voice is quiet, almost breaking before I see some tears rolling down his cheeks. The next instant I find myself in a tight embrace with my hacker, silently crying in his shoulder.

A few minutes later we calm down a bit and pull apart. "What are you doing here?" My voice is hoarse. "Actually I could ask you the same thing." "They found me", I explain simply and shrug. Jake sighs. "That's my fault." "What? No!" "MC, if it wasn't for me you would have never been in this situation. That's exactly what I meant when I said that it's too dangerous. For the both of us..." I can't help but stare at him. "Jake, listen. It's not your fault. I decided that I would help finding Hannah. And right from the start I knew the risk." "But-" "No, Jake. No buts. And please don't interrupt me. Thanks." He looks at me completely taken back as I continue. "I knew the risk. And did you really think that those messages would stop me from liking you? You always told me that it's too dangerous. And? Jake, I'm too stubborn to not follow my heart. And my freaking heart tells me that I'm in love with you. And if making sure you're safe means a life on the run then I can stand it!" In between the tears started to flow again. The young hacker looks at me in shock. Wide eyes and a complete loss for words. That's the moment when I feel a huge wave of boldness wash over me. I quickly lean in and press my lips on his. Fireworks behind my eyelids and small butterflies in my stomach. The feeling just intensifies when Jake pulls me closer, kissing me back. We pull apart, trying to get some oxygen into our lungs again. The hacker leans his forehead against mine and I can see the soft smile on his lips before I hear him mumble. "Feels so much better than I imagined." I stare at him at a loss for words. He just grins slightly at me and pecks my lips once again. "By the way your elbow hurt in my ribs." I just can't stop the laugher that bubbles up. "I'm sorry but I couldn't know that the hand over my mouth belonged to my hacker." With a grin he rises an eyebrow. "Your hacker? Possessive, are we?" "Nah, I just know and protect what's mine", I response with a smirk before pointing out: "Besides that you were the one who was jealous because someone flirted with me." "Me? Jealous? Never. I just know and protect what's mine", he mocks and kisses me.

Okay, gotta admit that I didn't plan to continue. But I've been asked to so... why not making a Oneshot collection?
Guys it'd be great if you have some ideas for me. I'm gonna take requests for new oneshots since I already have problems to think about something by myself. Of course I'll try to find new ideas but it really would help me if you want something specific, y'know?

Love you, my peeps :)
