Tomjake One Shots<3

Jealous Tom Jealous Tom Jealous Tom

Uh I wrote this MONTHS ago. So might as well publish it right? Also my bad for the LONG absence lmao.//

Jake was sitting by himself somewhere nearby the lake, thinking about the whole Tom and Aiden situation, wondering what he should do or if even do something. In the last elimination, Ashley switched team with a guy named Hunter from another team who looked a lot like Tom. He could stop taking his eyes off him without seeing Tom.
"Ugh, why am I such a mess..."
He kept thinking trying to distract with the nice view.
"Oh hey, Jake right?" A voice said as he felt someone sitting next to him.
"Oh, hi Hunter." Jake said looking at the other man but quickly put his head in his arms not wanting Hunter noticing him crying.
But Hunter was used to people hiding their emotions, so he indeed felt that Jake wasn't okay.
"You seem off, wanna talk about it?"
Jake lift his head slowly glancing at the other pale but gentle looking man.
"I'm okay. Just thinking..."
"About what if I may ask?"
"Well... I've been thinking about a situation with a man from another team... We had.. some issues last time and now he's all over another guy as if I don't exist anymore." Jake felt slightly better in letting it half of it out.
"Oh, and why is that? Do you did something?" Hunter asked trying to be helpful.
"I don't think so. I mean, I know he might still be a little bitter about.. well, believing someone's lies instead of him. But we both promised to get better and stay friends, I started working about my trust issues or whatever, but when I was out of it, he forgot about me. I tried talking but our talks were so short, and I know his job takes a lot of time but... not even a single talk..." Jake started to slightly tear up, being the first time he was saying the full story to someone.
"That's complicated... have you tried confronting hin about it?"
"No.. I wanna leave him his space. I feel like I might be too annoying."
"Well it's worth a try. Who is this guy if you don't mind me asking?"
"It's Tom." Jake sighs.
"Tom?!" Hunter replied surprised.
"Uhm.. yea. Why surprised?"
"Nothing. Just... I didn't expect him among everyone."
Jake didn't replied and stared back into te lake.
"Sorry that was so rude of me."
"It's okay. Thank you for listening and not judging." Jake puts on a bittersweet smile.
Hunter looked at him and couldn't help but smile back with a slight blush.
"You're welcome buddy! Hey, I have a card game we could play together to know each other. It might take your mind off for a while perhaps.*
Jake nodded happily not feeling so left out anymore, Hunter got up offering his hand to Jake who took it and got up. They looked at each other for a while both smiling, before Jake took his hand back and followed Hunter back to the cabin.

They arrived and Hunter took out a bunch of cards from his backpack. He looks back at Jake and sits on the bed waiting for him. They seat and played for a while asking questions about each other and getting to know each other better. Jake was having a great time and kinda forgot about the whole Tom and Aiden thing.
They interrupted playing as Jake noticed that it was getting late, they put the game away and with Hunter went in the dinning hall.
They were still having short talks on the way, and that really was helping Jake. He hadn't felt a big connection with a guy since Tom and him were a thing.
They arrived, and outside of the dining hall they spotted Tom and Aiden. Together. Close to each other. Instincts set in and Jake grabbed Hunter's arm tight as he felt uncomfortable. Hunter felt Jake's tight grip and looked at him smiling, as he puts his arm around Jake's shoulders. He understood Jake did that cuz of Tom and Aiden, but didn't mind at all. They passed through the other men and got in the dining hall.
Tom saw Jake and Hunter and when he saw Hunters arm around Jake he felt strange. As his heart had been stabbed and a sudden need to throw up. Could it be? He was jealous of Jake?
He kept staring at Jake and Hunter and the feelings gor only worse as they walked in the di dining hall.
"Tom? Is everything alright?" Aiden asked.
"Y-yea. I'm just.. hungry. Yea I'm hungry."
"We just had lunch though."
Aiden suddenly realized the issue.
"Ohhh... don't tell me, you're jealous of Jake!" Aiden teased his friend.
"What? No I'm not!"
"Oh yes you are. I can see the jealousy look in your eyes."
"Quit it! I-I'm not jealous or anything!"
Aiden giggles, he had known how Tom reacted when nervous, he clearly understood what was going on.
"Aw sure, tell me when you want to admit it."
Tom blushes and looks away.
