Your Perspective

Not even bothering to take another shower and get the cake off your head, you grabbed your things and ran as fast as you could back to your apartment building. You knew there was only one person you could talk to about this.

"Why the fuck do you have cake on your head?" Dirk snickered when he saw you in the doorway.
"John's Dad." You said with slight annoyance.
"I see." He chuckled. "Come in and we'll get you cleaned up."
"'We'?" You entered the apartment and raised an eyebrow at him, seeing a slightly smaller figure with black hair and glasses standing in front of you. However, he didn't look like John. Not to you, at least.
"Are you ____?" He gasped. You nodded shyly but grinned at his bright smile. He hugged you, not even caring about all the cake he was getting on himself. "I've heard lots about you, chap! The name's Jake English." He shook your hand excitedly.
"How do you know this adorable dude?" You looked up at Dirk and chuckled. He grinned back and fixed his shades.
"That's my boyfriend." He reached his arms out to hug them around Jake's shoulders and he gladly joined in the embrace.
"YOU got this cute dork to be your boyfriend?!" You exclaimed in awe. Dirk rolled his eyes at you, which you saw the outline of behind his sunglasses.
"Yup. Wasn't that hard." He shrugged and kissed Jake's cheek. The other giggled and you clasped your hands together happily.
"YOU GUYS STOP BEING CUTE RIGHT NOW!" You demanded jokingly. "I actually have something to talk to you about."
"Hm? What is it?" Dirk raised his eyebrow.
"Do either of you know of a red and green lollipop that turns you into a candy-coated floating freak?" You asked as casually as possible. You notice Dirk blink and start visibly shaking, hugging his boyfriend tighter. Jake blinked up at him and hushed him softly, petting his blonde hair. You stood there with a raised eyebrow. "Is that a yes?"
"Why do you want to know about the lollipop?" Jake asked formally.
"Well, Dave smashed John across the head with it and it turned him into this weird freak. I think Dave said he was a-"
"Trickster." Jake finished for you sternly. You nodded and he rubbed his eyes with a sigh. Jake hugged Dirk tightly and you watched in silence as the blonde calmed down. Jake whispered something to him with a small frown and Dirk blinked, his eyes wide.
"Dave did what?!" He angrily scowled and Jake took this as a sign to let go and let him beat up something if he needed to. Dirk just piked Jake up, making the other squeak in surprise. "He knows we are very sensitive about that type of magic, what the hell is wrong with him?!" He growled.
"Tell me everything you know." You said. He sighed and nodded, walking over to the couch to sit down with Jake in his lap. You joined them and listened to them carefully.
"That lollipop is called the Trickster-Pop or the Juju. Well, as far as we know." The blonde started. "It was the special treasure of two monsters, stuck in the same body. They didn't understand the concept of problem solving, so they gave the pop to us to help fix our problems. But... It didnt turn out so well. We ended up becoming sugar rushed and bad things happened. So, I threw it out in a trash can in the alleyway! How could he have found it?!" Dirk rubbed his eyes in distraught.
"How do you reverse the affects???" You asked quickly.
"I think it just wares off- but if Dave has him and the Juju, he can keep turning John trickster and keep him trapped like that." Jake explained with a frown. You heard a knock on the door and panicked, ducking under the sofa just in time before Dave walked in with John.
"HEY, DIRK! HEY, JAKE!!" John exclaimed, flying over to them. Dirk shivered again and Jake gulped at the sight of him. "WANNA MAKE BABIES WITH ME AND DAVEY?! IT'LL BE FUUUUUNN!!"
"No no, John. They're not allowed to come." Dave smirked, the Juju hanging over his shoulder.
"Dave, what the fuck are you doing?! That thing is extremely dangerous!" Jake spat. He clung to his boyfriend and hushed him to try and calm him down.
"Re-lax, lover boy. I just needed it to take John away from ____. She can't have all the fun." You growled listening to the conversation but silenced yourself, as to not blow your cover. "We're going to hang in that hotel a few blocks down. I'm taking some money to pay for a room." Dave smirked and took John's hand again. "See you guys on Monday." He walked out and closed the door behind them, and everything was silent. You rolled out from under the couch and stood like a badass.
"That bastard!" You hissed. "He won't get away with this! Thank you guys for all your help." You glanced at them and saw them kissing, rolling your eyes a bit. You decided to leave and give them their privacy. You stole one if Dirk's katanas and rushed out the door of the apartment after Dave.
