Jacklyn Weeping willow

Love confession

"I love you, Idiot!", Brook finally professed, almost just breathing the words out.

He gave Jack the time to escape - a second - to run and never loose a word about this again.
But the boy in front of him did not move. Not a single inch.
Carefully he lifted his hands to take Jack's face between them. His lips casted a spell over Brook's brain.
Jack felt the stock in his back and he knew he could not escape anymore. And surprisingly he did not want to. This was the last thing he had expected from Brook and his feelings were a chaos at the moment. The only emotion that was strong and clear was love. Pure love for Brooklyn.

"I love you too, Brook", he whispered before their lips connected.

It was a new feeling for both of them. Not entirely because they had kissed before but that had been for the fans. Back then they weren't aware of their true feelings. Now that they were, there were new emotions mixed with slightly changed old ones. Love, commonplace and somehow even lust. Hundreds of tastes exploded on Jack's tongue, Brook's mind was completely empty now. Together they were lost in the moment.

The kiss didn't last long, it had been to much of a new experience for both that they forgot to take a deep breath.
After a short look at each other they hugged. Jack's hands were wrapped around Brook's waist while the smaller one crawled his fingers into Jack's shirt.
Neither of them wanted to let go. Never.

"Can you punch me, please?", Brook asked all of the sudden and let go of Jack.

His facial expression changed from a happy to a confused one.

"Excuse me, what?!"

"Can you please punch me, so I can be sure this is real and not a dream."

Jack bursted into laughter even before Brook had finished his sentence.

"Well, then... With the greatest of pleasure!"

And his fist lightly hit Brook's arm while he was still laughing.

"Ouch! That hurt ya little deer!" Brook complained in played pain and joined the laughter.

Jack pulled him into his arms and down to the floor. They leaned against the stock of the old willow and enjoyed the sounds of nature.
