☆Staring-Contest☆

Jake walks himself over to the couch when he noticed Carrington. He takes a seat. Then tap his shoulder.

Carrington looked over his shoulder, a smirk on his face as he saw who it was. “Hey, Jake.” He said, still his phone. “What’s up?”

Jake replied, "I'm bored, Carrington." As he watches Carrington set his phone down so now Jake has full attention.

“Well, I was making a TikTok.” Carrington chuckled. “I’m sure that would entertain you, right?” He teased, moving closer to Jake.

Jake shakes his head. "We need something to dooo," As he makes brief eye contact.

“Something more… *exciting*?” Carrington teased, his smirk growing wider as he leaned even closer to Jake. He placed a hand on his knee.

Jake laughs and rolled his eyes, he playfully shoves Carrington. "Like a staring contest!"

Carrington chuckled as he was shoved. “A staring contest? Really?” He raised an eyebrow, amused by the idea. “You’re on.”

Jake nodded. He shifted his body so he is facing Carrington. "Ok, ready?"

Carrington shifted as well, mimicking Jake’s position. He locked eyes with him, a determined look on his face. “Ready when you are.”

"Ok I'm ready," Jake mumbled. He blinks a few times and then makes eye contact with Carrington.

Carrington returned the eye contact, his gaze unwavering. He tried to hold back a smile, but the corners of his lips twitched. “You’re not gonna win, you know that, right?” He teased, trying to distract Jake.

"I will." Jake replied, not breaking the gaze. Now Carrington can see how pretty Jake's brown eyes really are.

Carrington’s breath hitched slightly as he looked into Jake’s eyes. They were mesmerizing, and he found himself getting lost in them. He quickly snapped out of it, though, and tried to focus on the staring contest. “You’re cute when you’re determined, you know that?”

"No, because how can someone be cute when they're determined? That doesn't make sense," Jake replied, being too literal.

Carrington chuckled, finding Jake’s literalness adorable. “It’s just an expression, Jake. You’re cute because you’re all focused and determined, and it’s kind of endearing.” He said, his gaze still locked on Jake’s.

Jake leaned in closer as he stared into Carrington's blue eyes. "You have pretty blue eyes."

Carrington felt his heart skip a beat as Jake leaned in closer. He was suddenly very aware of the proximity between them. “You think so?” He asked, his voice slightly softer. “I’ve always thought yours were prettier.”

Jake shakes his head, not breaking contact. "No, no. Mine look like dirt. Gross."

Carrington’s expression softened as he heard Jake’s words. “Don’t say that,” he said gently. “Your eyes are beautiful. They’re like… chocolate.” He paused, his gaze flickering over Jake’s face. “A deep, rich chocolate that I could get lost in.”

As Carrington looked into Jake’s eyes, he noticed something. One of Jake's eyes seemed to be slightly lazier than the other. It was a small detail, but it was enough to make Carrington’s heart flutter.

The lazy eye added a certain charm to Jake’s gaze, making him even more endearing in Carrington’s eyes.

Jake was fully relaxed now and the lazy eye seemed to shift in another direction.

Carrington couldn’t help but smile as he watched Jake’s lazy eye shift. It was such a subtle detail, yet it made Jake’s gaze even more captivating. He found himself wanting to stare into Jake’s eyes for longer, getting lost in their depths.

"What?" Jake asked as he strained his eye to stay in place.

Carrington chuckled softly. “Nothing,” he said, trying to hide his admiration. “I was just… appreciating your eyes.”

"Why?" Jake asked as he leaned in closer.

Carrington’s breath hitched as Jake leaned in even closer. He could feel the heat radiating from his body, and it was making his heart race. “Because they’re beautiful,” he said honestly. “And I could stare at them all day.”

Carrington’s gaze dropped to Jake’s lips for a moment before he leaned in, closing the gap between them. He was so close now that he could feel Jake’s breath on his face.

Jake snapped his eyes wide in surprise before he melted into the kiss. He returned it and wrapped his arms around Carrington's neck.

Carrington’s arms wrapped around Jake’s waist, pulling him closer as they kissed. He deepened the kiss, his tongue tracing Jake’s lower lip. He felt a wave of desire wash over him as he held Jake in his arms.

Jake pulled back. His cheeks are rosy. "Did we–" He couldn't get out the words, he was flustered.

Carrington chuckled, a smirk on his face as he saw how flustered Jake was. “Yeah, we did.” He said, his hands still resting on Jake’s waist. “And it was amazing.”

"It was," Jake agreed as he kissed Carrington's cheek.

Carrington’s smirk turned into a genuine smile as Jake kissed his cheek. He pulled Jake closer, resting his forehead against his. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he admitted, his voice low and husky.

"Me too, that's why i said staring contest. That i won by the way. Because i wanted to kiss you but i was too nervous to ask you" Jake admitted.

Carrington laughed, a warm and affectionate sound. “You’re sneaky,” he said, playfully nuzzling his nose against Jake’s. “I never would have guessed that you were just trying to get me to kiss you.”

"Really?" Jake asked, it went over his head.

Carrington chuckled again, shaking his head in amusement. “Yes, really. You’re so oblivious sometimes, it’s adorable.”

"Am not!" Jake laughed as he was pulled into Carrington's arms and being cuddled with on the couch.

Carrington held Jake close, enjoying the feeling of his body against his. “You so are,” he teased, running his fingers through Jake’s hair. “But that’s part of your charm.”

Jake grabbed his own phone out. The two cuddle on the couch while Jake is playing games on his phone.

Carrington watched as Jake played games on his phone, his arms still wrapped around him. He rested his chin on Jake’s shoulder, watching the screen intently. “You’re really good at that,” he said, impressed by Jake’s skills.

"Yeah, i try my best" Jake replied.

“You’re not just trying your best, you’re a natural,” Carrington said, planting a soft kiss on Jake’s neck. “I’m lucky to have you.”

Jake laughed softly, "Thanks"

Carrington smiled against Jake’s neck, his arms tightening around him. “Anytime,” he said.

The rest of the day they cuddled and relaxed.

The end.
