Jake is heading downstairs. An excited grin on his face as he is heading down the steps. He nearly tripped over the last few but he managed to catch himself.

Carrington chuckled, shaking his head at his boyfriend's clumsiness. He set the phone down on the kitchen counter before making his way over to Jake. "Be careful," he said, his tone laced with amusement. "You almost ate the floor there."

Jake snickers as be hugs Carrington. "Hii." He greeted as he buried his face into Carrington's shoulder.

Carrington wrapped his arms around Jake, pulling him close. He chuckled softly as Jake buried his face into his shoulder. "Hey there," he replied, running his fingers through Jake's hair. "What's got you so excited?"

Jake beamed, "I wanna tell you stuff!!" As he grabbed Carrington's hand and they sit down at the couch.

Carrington allowed himself to be dragged over to the couch, a smile on his face as he sat down beside Jake.

He turned to face him, curiosity in his eyes. "Okay, okay, Jake" he said, his voice playful. "Tell me all the exciting stuff you want to tell me."

"Okayy" Jake is bouncing on the couch as he is flapping his hands. His voice all fast as he is speaking. "Sooo today was super good! i had cookies today and they were fucking yummy but my go-to flavor is cinnamon and i learned some facts about cinnamon!"

Carrington chuckled as Jake bounced on the couch, clearly very excited. He listened intently to Jake's rambling, finding his enthusiasm endearing.

Jake continued to stim and info dump on the topic of cinnamon, "Cinnamon isn't sweet itself but amplifies the sweetness in other things! Like that cinnamon roll cookie i had it was so good i loved it and the creamy texture of the frosting was MMH!!"

Carrington couldn't help but smile as Jake continued to share his love for cinnamon. He was genuinely enjoying listening to his boyfriend's enthusiastic rambling.

Jake switched topics however and started to info-dump about something else. As he talks his voice sounded super happy and he was occasionally making glances, making sure if Carrington was listening. A bit self conscious.

Carrington noticed the subtle glances Jake was making, checking to see if he was still listening. He reached out and gently took Jake's hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

"Hey Jake," he said softly, "you don't have to worry about info-dumping. I'm all ears. I love hearing about the things you're interested in."

Jake's brown eyes flickered as he smiled a bit. He laid his head onto Carrington's lap.

Carrington smiled back, running his fingers through Jake's hair as he laid his head on his lap. He continued to listen intently, enjoying the feeling of Jake's presence close to him. "Go on," he encouraged, his voice gentle. "You can keep telling me all the cool things you know."

Jake nodded, and his info-dumping continued. Throwing in multiple facts about each topic and talking about his day. Flapping his hands and moving them as he talked, he kept looking through to make sure his boyfriend was listening.

Carrington continued to listen, occasionally asking questions or making comments to show that he was still engaged in the conversation.

He found it adorable how Jake was when he talked about things he was passionate about. He also noticed how Jake's eyes would flicker to him every so often, seeking reassurance that he was still paying attention.
