It's okay

thanks, brit for the prompt <3, dm me prompts to write in the future

Jake had told me to come straight in if he didn't answer as he said he'd be grabbing snacks for us to eat during the breaks. The door opened with a creak, the house was fairly clean, some shoes laid out here and there. It was unusually quiet though, especially for a house this big.

I didn't see anything when I went to where he said the kitchen was, I walked upstairs to what I assumed his room would be. I knocked lightly, not getting a response so I walked in.

The second I stepped in I hear breathing, not usual breathing, it was really heavy and really quick.

My eyes caught view of Jake leaning against his bed, his head buried in his hands, face fully red and slightly blue a bit, it was bad looking, I didn't know how to help exactly, but I didn't think much

"Jake, can I come near you?" He gave what seemed to be a slight nod

I stepped over to where he was as standing, sitting down next to him, being careful not to touch him

"Am I able to touch you?" He gave a shake of his head, I made sure to not touch him at all, not wanting to do anything wrong.

"Name five things you can see, four things you can touch, three things you can hear, two things you can smell, and one thing you can taste" I say to him calmly, he looks confused but he goes along

"I-I can see you, the bookcase, th-the wall, the g-ground a-a-and the fan." He stammers out

"I can feel your shirt, the ca-carpet, m-my hoodie, and the bed"

"I can hear y-you, mys-elf, and the do-or"

"I can smell you and my bed"

"I-I don't know what I can taste"

The tears slowly stopped running down his face,

"Can I touch you now?" He nodded

I reached over, pulling him into a big hug, rubbing his back as to try and make sure he stays as calm as possible.

"You probably don't like me after seeing me like this, I'm sorry you had to see me like this. Oh my gosh you shouldn't have seen me like this." He rambled, I was shocked, he liked me?

WAIT HE LIKES ME HOLY SHIT

"Wait wait wait, did you say you like me?" his face went red immediately.

"Uh-Uhm-oh uh yeah? I guess I did, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" breath quicking, I got him back on track though.

"It's fine Jake, I actually like you too, believe it or not..." I rubbed the back of my neck laughing slightly, he looked up at me, smiling brightly.
