What's a Little Effort?

"Dirk!" He whined and pushed him away chuckled lightly. Dirk continued to try and tickle him, he knew how extremely ticklish Jake was. They were roommates at thew college they attended, Noir University. They didn't have classes today so usually they'd play video games but...the Tv had stopped working thanks to Dirk Strider and his wonderful problem solving. Dirk got on top of Jake and started tickling him, "no! S-strider stop! Ha ha! Stop!" He laughed. Dirk then realized their position, he blushed an leaned closer to Jake, "um..Dirk...you're a little too close..." English chuckled and sat up. Dirk quickly apologized and got up. "Hey wanna take a walk?" Dirk asked, "no thanks...sorry Mr.strider I have to study " Jake nervously chuckled. "Oh,ok." Dirk said plainly and walked out.

Jake sighed and opened his book and tried to concentrate on the words, but for some reason he couldn't. He guessed that he was just tired, an hour later he sat the book on the ground. After making barely any progress he laid down on Dirk's bed that he still was sitting on due from earlier tickle sessions. He found himself laying there for quite a while just taking in the scent. He furrowed his brow at the scent and why he was even doing this. Jake took a big breath of Dirk from the pillow, he smelled of random cinnamon and bad cologne. Jake shrugged, nothing wrong with a fine smelling chap. He found his green eyes slowing drifting closed, and sleep finding him quickly.

Dirk had walked around the courtyard a while, contemplating on going in to town. He decided not to, he did talk to Jane for a while but she seemed busy so he let her be. So he had time to think about what happened in the dorm room, why did he even attack English like that? He shook his head and blushed like crazy, he knew it...he knew it! After all the dreams,the random time he crossed his mind,the irregular friendly contact! Dirk knew he had a crush on English! He just knew it, but he didn't want get hurt...or have Jake feel bad if he didn't like him back. Was he supposed to tell him?

He shrugged and began to walk back to the dorm room, quietly opening the door, he saw Jake peacefully passed out on his bed. Dirk chuckled and stood over him,looking at how softly Jake's head rested on the pillow and how hhe was curled up on top of the made covers. His eyes ever so slightly twitching under his eyelids and buck teeth slightly jutting from perfect lips. Dirk leaned in to maybe place a small kiss on said perfect lips but he denied the idea and pecked Jake's forehead lightly and went to take a shower, he had to tell him someday...just not any day soon.
