Online Dating Part 12

~Continuation of my Jarbyn one shot "Online Dating". Read it 😀❤️.

Nobody's POV:-
Jack woke up the next morning to feel the sunlight directly on his face and opened his eyes, immediately looking around. He rose in panic not recognizing his surroundings. They seemed unfamiliar yet he didn't feel comfortable. He looked down and blushed. He wasn't wearing his own clothes, the outfit too big for him but it smelled amazing. Okay. Why was he being creepy?

He decided to get up and investigate. Slowly getting out of the bed, he padded to the door and peeked outside.

He could smell the fresh aroma of food and his stomach immediately growled. But there was no time for him to eat. He had to leave this house as soon as possible before it's owner noticed him awake.

He slowly made his way downstairs, trying to make as little noise as possible. Just as he reached the last step, he noticed that he had to pass the kitchen to get to the front door. He cursed inwardly and decided to make a dash for it.

He was just getting ready to run when he heard footsteps coming out of the kitchen. Before he could even react, the owner of the footsteps was standing right in front of him and the person threw him off guard. There stood Corbyn with a mixture of emotions visible on his face. Surprise, confusion, sadness...

"Good morning", the older said softly.

Jack fell out of his trance and looked at Corbyn sheepishly.

"Hi", he mumbled out.

"Come on. I made breakfast", Corbyn said and headed back in after gesturing to Jack.

Jack took a quick glance around and suddenly realized that this indeed was Corbyn's apartment. In his panic, the logical side of his brain hadn't seemed to work and he had barely noticed his surroundings, just focused on escaping.

He headed inside the kitchen and sat down. Corbyn who was by the stove, turned to him for a few seconds, smiling before turning back to flip the pancakes. Jack blushed at the sudden gesture and tried to occupy himself with something, in the end opting to read the newspaper that was set on the kitchen table.

Five minutes later, Corbyn placed a plate in front of him then sat down across from him.

Jack thanked him and began eating.

"So", Jack started, swallowing his bite."What happened last night. I don't remember a thing".

"Well", Corbyn said."You were pretty drunk when you arrived at my house. It was late last night and you were soaked because of the rain. You were panicked for some reason but calmed down. I uh. I gave you a change of clothes and then you fell asleep in the living room".

Corbyn finished talking but Jack could tell something was off from the way the older was avoiding eye contact.

"What else happened?", he asked softly.

Corbyn's eyes shot up, looking confused and shocked.

"What?", he asked.

"Come on Corbyn. I know you're hiding something", he said.

"It's nothing", Corbyn said slowly.

"Just tell me. It's okay", Jack said, reaching his hand out.

"Just forget it Jack", Corbyn mumbled and the shorter could tell that the other was getting annoyed.

"Just...Please", he pleaded out and Corbyn sighed.

"Fine. You wanna know", he said, getting up and glaring at the younger."You tried to kiss me".

Jack froze in shock as his gaze paused on the older's expression.

"W-What?", he asked.

"You heard me", Corbyn said as he set his dish in the sink."Now of you'll excuse me I have to go before this gets anymore awkward. Your clothes are in the laundry room, neatly folded".

"Wait! Corbyn!", Jack said as the taller moved towards the door.

Corbyn stopped but didn't turn around.

"I-I'm sorry", Jack mumbled.

Corbyn sighed and turned around to face him. His eyes softened at Jack's expression.

"It's-It's fine", he said taking a deep breath."But it's best if we don't see each other for a while. I'm not sure how long I can cope with this".

"But-", Jack started but Corbyn interrupted him.

"Please", Corbyn said and it looked like he was pleading.

Jack gulped and nodded slowly as tears filled his eyes.

"Bye Jack", Corbyn said.

"Bye", Jack mumbled, trying hard not to choke on his tears.

As soon as he heard the door shut though, he broke down into sobs. Why was this so hard?
