What's a Little Effort?

it's a kiss.

It was late at night,around 11 and Dirk was wide awake on his laptop. He was actually waiting for English to come home, he really wanted to say sorry and give him a bro hug. Jake wasn't going to just let this go was he? Dirk sighed and began scrolling through Jake's pictures on facebook,he really hoped he didn't upset him too much. The door opened rather slowly and in came Jake English, Dirk stood up and faced him. Jake looked so tired, he face rather flushed.

"Jake I.."

"Save it strider"

Jake looked him dead in the eyes with frustration, he quickly wrapped his arms around Dirk's waist and burried his head in Strider's chest. Dirk froze then slowly but surely returned the hug, "Dirk Strider you are the most perverse person I've ever known" Jake muttered. Dirk chuckled as he removed his hand from Jake's backside once again, "I didn't say I didn't enjoy your hand in that particular spot..." Jake said lowly and gripped Dirk's shirt,shoving his face into his shirt to hide the blush. Dirk gasped lightly and blushed,sliding his hand back down and giving Jake's ass a slight squeeze. Jake looked into his friend's eyes,and Dirk looked back...they just stared at each other for a while.

Jake moved in,their lips brushing. Dirk's heart sped up, 'this isn't happening...this is a dream' Dirk thought but he was quickly proven wrong when their lips met gently. Jake brought his arms around Dirk's neck and his body closer. They didn't move,just lips pressed together where they closed their eyes just to feel how close they were to each other. Dirk wanted to pull him as close as possible and just feel Jake's lips on his. Jake pulled away still brushing his lips against Dirk's. "Strider I think this particular situation should only be between you and me" Jake whispered rather fast. "Me too" Dirk said as they both smiled and scoffed,bringing their lips together again. Falling back on Dirk's bed they smiled into their kiss and chuckling like they were high off each other's lips.

The next morning Jake woke to the warmth of Dirk's arms, he snuggled into his chest and smiled. "Morning English" Dirk smiled and pecked Jake's head, Jake looked into his amber eyes with joy. "Hey" he chuckled and pecked Dirk's nose. The Strider brushed back raven hair, looking into green eyes dotted with traces of cerulean. "What does this mean?" Jake asked with a smile, twirling a pale gold strand of hair around his index finger. "Friends." Dirk said and stood up, Jake couldn't believe that they were still only friends after what happened.

Jake got up with a confused face, "Strider I refuse to believe that we're only just friends after you kissed me like that" he growled. "Well believe it English, no wish upon a star this time" Dirk muttered and picked up Jake's overcoat and smelled it. "I wasn't drunk if that's what you're thinking" Jake crossed his arms. Dirk forced him to the wall, "you were tired,hallucination, you weren't thinking straight" Dirk said lowly. "I was in love" Jake matched his quiet tone with a smirk, "I doubt it" Dirk kept his poker face knowing the absence of his shades wouldn't hide his eyes. Jake brought his face closer,sliding a hand to Dirk's lower back. "Care to test the theory?" Jake's smirk grew, "Jane said you were confused" Dirk said back still in a hushed tone. "Maybe I am,mind clearing that up for me sempai?" Jake still mocked the softness of their voices with a smirk.

"don't call me that"

"What, sempai?"

"Jake English I'm going to tolerate your immaturity"

"Make me mature sempai"

"No"

Dirk pushed Jake away and slid off his shirt to change it, Jake's arms slithered around Dirk's waist. This was going to be a problem, he knew Jake didn't really feel like this...he couldn't have.
