My Brother, My Bother

Jake rings the doorbell, than goes into to Zev's house.

Eric comes from the hallway before Jake gets there, "Why you keep ringing the bell?"

"Cause I don't live here.
"Is my fryker here?"

Eric rolls his eyes and goes to the kitchen, "All the honeys have gone to answer Cherry's SOS for femininity."

Jake follows him into the kitchen, "So, Aleister home than?"

Eric gets two beers from the frig, "No, she went too, cause she's a she.
"Walker is helping the Grumbles with some plumbing issue if you are looking for someone else to talk to."

Jake accepts the beer, "Was just being an ass.
"I came to talk to you.
"I have a problem and I don't know if you will help me or beat my ass for it."

Eric sits on a stool, "That good, huh?"

Jake sits and lets his sincerity sound, "You know I respect you in all things... Dad..."
Jake stops and open his beer for a drink.

Eric teases, "Wow, Dad, huh?
"Must be heavy."

Jake fusses, "Please, I don't want this to be a problem between us."

"As long as you're not here to tell me you kissed my mate, than it can't be."

Jake whines wordless, "Not your mate, but your boyfriend.
"Technically, he kissed me, but I kissed back."

Eric laughs softly, "I'll be barbequed.
"He finally got the nerve."

Jake fusses, "You knew?"

Eric nods, "Know all his desires even the ones he fights tooth and nail.
"Must have got him really upset to get him irrational enough to kiss you."

Jake whines, "I don't want a man in my life like that."

Eric laughs, "What about Goreapine and Tyres?"

"Tyres and I don't date and Goreapine is a chick in my head."

Eric has a long drink, "Anyways, did you want to tell me what happened or just find out if I'm okay with it?"

"We just argued and he got in my face, then kissed me.
"Then he took off while Goreapine was still busting me up about it."

Eric wonders, "Werid.
"Not like him to not have it all out in one go."

Jake informs him, "He just seemed to stop caring about talking to either of us and rushed out.
"I didn't stay long after that, but the journey home is like what six hours?"

Eric admits, "I don't know, I've only done it by light travel."

"Can I stay for dinner?
"I feel pouty."

Eric laughs, "Sure, why you feel pouty?"

Jake whines, "Cause Jazy kissed me.
"Why would he do that to me?"

Eric leans back to really laugh, "You're such a baby sometimes, Jake.

"He kissed you cuz he's into you.
"Sure, you annoy him to no end, but he gets all psycho turned on by you."

Jake whines, "Ew. What's that even mean?"

"It means it's very sexual, but mostly that's to bury his emotional needs no one can handle.
"There's a curiosity in him about you.
"He feels an answer to his needs in you.
"You're not the kind of love he seeks, but he can't deny you attract him."

Jake licks his teeth, "Yay me."

Eric laughs until Jake fusses, "Stop laughing at me and tell what to do, smartypants?"
