☆Jake Can't Listen-☆

Jake is in his room, focused on his phone as he is bouncing his leg. He has an attentive look on his face as he is playing games on the little device in his hands.

When he heard his boyfriend call.

"Jake!" Carrington called out, peeking his head into the room. He smiled as he saw him sitting there, completely distracted.

"Hey, come here."

Jake didn't respond, he heard his name but it just didn't fully process in his head as he is playing the games.

The brunet chuckled, shaking his head as he walked over to Jake. He stood right in front of him, blocking his view of the screen.
"Jake." He said again, more firmly this time.

Jake finally lifted his head. "Huh?" As he is looking at Carrington, a flustered look grew on his face.

Carrington chuckled once again as he noticed the flustered look on his face. He smirked, crossing his arms."Finally got your attention, huh?"

"Mhm." Jake hummed as he looked back down at the screen. Before immediately looking back up again.

Carrington rolled his eyes playfully, moving closer to him. He gently placed a hand on his chin, tilting his head up to look at him.
"Stop looking at your phone. You're giving it more attention than me." He joked.

Jake tried to make eye contact but occasionally he kept shifting his gaze, "Hi babe, what's up?"

"You." He teased, letting go of his chin and ruffling his hair.Carrington then plopped down onto the bed next to him, leaning against the headboard.

Jake snickers, as he goes back on his phone. Playing the games again with a focused face.

Carrington pouted as he saw him go back to his phone. He gently grabbed his phone, taking it away from him."Nope, you're not allowed to play games right now."

Jake scoffs, pouting. "Rudeee, i was about to beat that level!" He exclaimed as his phone got taken away.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but I'm feeling a bit neglected right now. I want some attention." Carrington said with a dramatic sigh, pretending to be hurt.

Jake laid on top of Carrington, head on his chest as he suddenly zoned out again.

Carrington chuckled as Jake laid on top of him, his eyes wandering all over his face. He gently ran his fingers through his hair, enjoying the moment.

Jake was still zoning out. His head slumped on Carrington's chest as he is looking across the room.

Carrington couldn't help but find it adorable how Jake was completely zoned out. He continued to play with his hair, his fingers gently massaging his scalp.
"You're not even listening to me, are you?" He said, amused.

Once again, Jake didn't respond. He is just zoned out and staring at the wall. He heard Carrington's voice, but didn't make out what exactly was said.

Carrington chuckled again, finding it even more amusing that Jake was completely unaware of what was going on. He gently poked his cheek, trying to get his attention.
"Hello? Earth to Jake?"

Jake did not say anything. He drums his fingers on Carrington's chest as he is staring at the wall, occasionally blinking.

Carrington sighed, a mix of amusement and annoyance on his face. He poked his cheek again, this time a bit harder."You're so spaced out, it's like you're in another dimension."

Jake snapped out of it. "What are we doing?" He randomly asked as he was looking at Carrington now.

Carrington chuckled, a little surprised that Jake finally snapped out of his trance.
"Well, you were just lying on top of me, zoned out and staring at the wall. And now you're asking what we're doing?"

Jake looked a bit confused as he is looking at his boyfriend, then Carrington remembers about Jake's selective hearing.

Carrington suddenly remembered Jake's selective hearing and facepalmed.

Jake snickers, as he snuggled himself closer with his boyfriend. He kissed Carrington's cheek.

Carrington rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but smile as Jake snuggled closer to him. He wrapped his arms around him, pulling him into a tight embrace."You're lucky you're cute, you know that?"

"I am?" Jake laughed as he closed his eyes.

"Very." Carrington said, gently rubbing his back."And you're also very annoying when you zone out like that. But I love you anyway."

"Heyyy i can't control thaaat" Jake pouts as he says, "I love you too"

"I know you can't control it, and that's why it's so cute." Carrington chuckled, booping his nose."But it's still annoying when I'm trying to talk to you and you're just staring off into space."

"Yea its been happening more frequently recently and I don't know why" Jake replied, yawning.

"Maybe you're just tired." Carrington suggested, noticing the yawn.
"You've been staying up late playing games, haven't you?"

"Probably. I have been playing games alot with Johnnie recently" Jake replied, yawning again.

Ah, so that's why. You're staying up late with Johnnie, playing games." Carrington said, nodding in understanding."No wonder you're so tired. You need to get some rest, babe."

Jake nodded a bit, snuggling closer with his boyfriend. He did indeed have a sleepy look on his face.

Carrington noticed the sleepy look on Jake's face and smiled. He gently ran his fingers through his hair, trying to soothe him.
"Just relax, babe. You can sleep if you want to. I'll be right here."

"What?" Jake didn't hear him, again. As he is looking at Carrington with wide clueless brown eyes.

Carrington sighed, realizing that Jake hadn't heard him again. He chuckled softly, finding it endearing how clueless he was.
"I said you can sleep, babe. You look tired." He repeated, speaking a bit louder this time.

Jake was just staring at Carrington with a sleepy gaze, he didn't say anything or reply back.

Carrington couldn't help but find Jake's sleepy gaze adorable. He gently cupped his face, looking into his eyes."You're so sleepy, aren't you?" He said with a soft smile.

"Im- yeah" Jake nodded his head, making kissy lips towards Carrington.

Carrington chuckled at Jake's kissy lips. He leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.

Jake retuned the gentle kiss and pulled away. He laid his head back down. He closed his eyes.

Carrington smiled as Jake laid his head back down. He wrapped his arms around him tighter, holding him close.

"Goodnight, babe. Sleep well." He whispered, gently stroking his hair.

Jake falls asleep.
