Duskwood Oneshots Collections Volume 1.

Shall we dance?

After a long investigation, Jake finally told me that he could rest.
I greatly appreciated it, putting the mobile aside listening to piano melodies.

My mind can't stop thinking about Jake, would he be okay? I'm worried that he'll continue with the investigation or who knows what he'd be hacking without getting some rest... Okay, it's also because I feel like talking to him. I have become too dependent on his talks, where I like how I make him talk more about me and how happy he makes him.

"Should I talk to him?" I bite my lip looking at my mobile "Or should I leave him alone?"

Shyly, I pick up the item looking at the chat. I take a couple of deep breaths and write to him.

Hey Jake

Jake
Excuse me, MC.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We speak at the same time.
I can't help but smile, it seems that we have synchronized.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake
I suppose we can call this synchronization.
:)

MC
Hehe, yes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I cover my face with my phone, stifling a scream like a teenager. This couldn't be happening, right? Well, we had already talked closely... My heart is racing, I'm nervous. I have to calm down, I'm the one who has to make him nervous, not the other way around.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake
Please, you first.

MC
I just wanted to talk to you, if you're not busy

Jake
I was doing a couple of jobs, but I couldn't concentrate.
I wanted to continue talking to you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sit up in bed, picturing him blushing as he tells me. With Jake it is easy to know when something is embarrassing and surely it will have been as difficult for him to say something to me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MC
Am I so difficult to get out of your mind?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I dare to ask him, looking for a way to make him nervous.
It takes time to answer. I guessed right. But I love it when he tells me, so I wait with soft music playing around the room.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jake
Actually, I prefer you to always be in my head.
So I feel that you are by my side.

MC
There might be a way for you to feel closer to me

Jake
I can't help but be curious.
Surprise me this time you, I'm always the one who shows you everything.

MC
Ok, wait a minute

Let's put this link together 😄

Jake
Isn't it one of those joke links?
I've seen quite a few posts related to that.

MC
Trust me, I'm not that much of a joker
Well, sometimes...

Jake
And that's what I like about you.
That you make me laugh.
;)

MC
Hey, here I am the one who must make you nervous, not the other way around

Jake
Make you nervous?
