☆Jake's Pacing☆

Jake is pacing around the house. Preferably going in circles of the living room. This is a stim he practically does and it usually lasts for a long while.

Carrington walked downstairs to notice Jake is pacing in circles.

Carrington watched as Jake paced around the living room, moving in a repetitive circular motion.

He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms, observing him for a moment before speaking up."You know, if you keep pacing like that, you're gonna wear a hole in the carpet," he joked.

"Oh shush," Jake giggled as he continued to pace. Continuing the circular motion throughout the living room. This wasn't necessarily a concern, it was just one of Jake's repetitive movements.

Carrington couldn't help but smile at Jake's giggle. He pushed himself off the wall and walked over to him, following his movements as he paced around the room.

"I'm just saying," he said, his voice teasing. "You're going to be dizzy if you keep going in circles like that."

"Nah i do this at least daily for a hour or so," Jake replied. Continuing to pace as he watches Carrington sit down on the couch after following Jake for a few circles.

Carrington's eyebrows shot up in surprise at Jake's response. "Daily?" he repeated, slightly shocked. "You do this every day for an hour?"

He sat down on the couch, watching as Jake continued to pace back and forth, seemingly unbothered by the repetitive motion.

"Yep!" Jake beamed as he is making a circle once again. He started to hum a bit as he is pacing.

Carrington nodded, his brain finally clicking and understanding the reason behind Jake's pacing. He leaned back against the couch, watching him with a fond smile on his face.

"I guess yeah," he mused, watching as he continued to hum and pace. "And here I thought you were just being restless."

"Nope" Jake replied as he paused his pacing for a moment. Swaying on his legs as he asked, "So how was your modeling shoot today?"

Carrington chuckled at the sudden change in topic. He leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees."It was fine," he replied, shrugging casually. "Just a few shots for a magazine. Nothing too special."

"Ah i see" Jake replied as he started to continue his pacing once again. He continues to talk and move his hands as he spoke. "My day was the usual. I literally been eating chicken strips recently non-stop. Like the same meal dude like I'm a damn dog," he laughed at his own joke.

Carrington chuckled along with Jake, finding his amusement at his own joke endearing. He watched as he continued to pace and gesticulate with his hands, the movement almost hypnotic."Chicken strips again, huh?" he teased.

"Yeah!" Jake laughed as he paced by Carrington to complete another circle but he didn't stop. He just kept on going.

Carrington smirked as Jake walked by him, continuing to pace back and forth. He watched him for a moment, his eyes trailing after him as he completed another circle.
"You know," he said, "you're gonna make me dizzy just by watching you."

"Then why are you watching?" Jake laughed as a genuine smile rises. "You know i do this, it shouldn't be so interesting"

Carrington chuckled and shrugged, a fond expression on his face.

"I can't help it," he said, his eyes following Jake's every move. "It's like watching a dog chase its tail. It's amusing but kind of hypnotic at the same time."

"Bruhhh!! Again with a fucking dog joke," Jake laughed as he is pacing. "I like doing this, the pacing - I don't know why it's just fun to me"

Carrington chuckled again, enjoying the way Jake reacted to the dog jokes.
