I spy... Tom x Jake Disventure Camp Fanfiction

Chapter 4: Awkward Breakfast

Jake closed the bedroom door behind him. Leaning against it for a brief moment to sigh.

"Thanks for getting me out of there."

"Out of what?" asked Tom curious.

"Oh. Just- awkward dad talk. Hehe." Jake finally looked up to see the shirtless man in daylight.

He tried his best not to show how much he was thirsting over Tom's body. He quickly hit his cheeks to snap out of it and approached Tom, who looked rather confused about his slap, to change the bandage.

"So why do you still wear that mask? I mean I have already seen almost everything else? Hehe. But it's not like I want to pressure you or anything. Just curious, you know." overexplained Jake because he didn't want to seem weird.

"I'd rather not say. Maybe another time." Tom answered awkwardly fumbling his neck.

Jake looked up surprised only for a second. He thought there would be no other time. They just met and clearly Tom would leave after breakfast and do whatever secret stuff he was doing. So why would he say that. Jake finished up bandaging and handed Tom his shirt.

"Let's go. You should eat something before you go."

"You're probably right."

Conner looked up from his newspaper when he heard Jake and Tom coming down the stairs. When his gaze locked onto the shirt Tom was wearing.

"Is that my favorite shirt or do we have the same taste?" asked Conner jokingly.

"Sorry, Conner. I borrowed some of your clothes." Jake chimed in.

"And I thought I'd finally fit in with the youth. Ha." said Conner while putting the newspaper away.

"You can sit here." Jake pulled out a chair for Tom and then sat next to him.

"I never thought I'd see the day where you want to make a good impression." teased Conner with a proud look.

"Let's just eat. The food looks good." answered Jake taking some bacon, French toast and eggs onto his plate.

"This looks really good Mister... Um."

"Ha. Just call me Conner, boy."

"I'm Tom." said the mysterious man while reaching over to shake Conners hand.

Sometime went by and Jake already finished his first plate while Tom just sat there not touching anything. He completely forgot that eating requires removing his mask. Tom definitely didn't want to ruin the appetite with his hideous face. He couldn't think of it any differently. Afterall he could barely look at himself in the mirror.

"Why don't you take off your mask to eat, lad?" asked Conner making Tom tense up.

"I can't... um.. get much sun exposure- My skin is a bit sensitive." lied Tom because he couldn't come up with any good explanation on the spot. Jake almost choked at his bacon when he heard that.

"Well... Tom. You do know we're inside" said Conner suspicious while Jake was beginning to violently cough.

"Here, Jake." Tom gave him some orange juice, which Jake downed in a panic, and Tom patted his back until Jake could finally breath again.

"You... *cough* are so... *cough* bad at lying."

"I didn't lie." Tom turned red.

"It's okay, Tom. You don't have to *cough* take off your mask if you don't want to."

"I would appreciate that. I can eat something later." responded Tom and the breakfast continued in silence.

"Okay, change of topic." announced Conner, "I have something to tell you Jake. I already told Ally and Aiden."

"Okay? What is it?"

"I'm dating someone. Before you say anything. I hope I can introduce her to all of you first. She is really sweet although we have an age difference. I invited her over this Friday."

"Wow. Umm. Congratulation. I'll try to be there." said Jake with a dry mouth not really knowing what to say.

"Thank you. It means a lot to me."

"Congratulation, Conner. What's the name of the lucky woman." congratulated Tom.

"Her name is Riya Sharma. She is a small actress at the moment but she's becoming more and more popular."

When Tom heard that name he almost chocked on his spit. His targets name was just mentioned. He tried to get close to her many time but failed and now he could have the chance to meet her in three days if he played his cards right. Tom glanced at Jake, his mission was not only risky because of his target but also because of how fast Jake gets close to him.

"Would it be okay if I came too? I've never met an actress before." said Tom after giving it some thought.
