Hope and Hearts [Dirk x Jake]

part 5

Jakes POV:

He looked briefly confused. I noticed I was smiling like a dork and paused. Oops. I cleared my throat.

"So dirk. How's... engineering class for' ya?" I asked.

He just shrugged. Its hard to have a conversation with a brick isn't it?

I looked down, trying to focus on something to say. This was hard. C'mon thinkkkk.

I heard Dirk laugh softly. I looked up, confused, but mostly in awr.

"M' sorry Jake. You looked constipated trying to think do hard." He replied and hid that wonderful, nerdy smile of his with his sleeve. I wondered how he could wear that in this heat.

I decided to say something.

"Aren't ya hot in that Dirk?"I asked as I saw his rare smile vanish.

"No." He responded quickly and fixed his jacket. I nodded and decided to drop it as I stood up.
