Heroic Sages - Jak and Daxter

37

The world was saved, and the rest of the city was in safe hands of us. I was too tired to join everyone in the fighting arena to meet the precursors again. Plus I think all this hero work was high time to stop moving around and accept my hero's rest. Saving the day with Jak felt good, but now what? The gifts of flowers and chocolate next to my bed was nice but I didn't want it. I wanted someone here.

We were both heroes to everyone now but yet I didn't want this game or glory anymore. The thing I wanted most was not this, what did I want? This is the first time that's popped in my head.

Jak just then walked into the room, Daxter following along too with him and wearing a brand new pair of pants. I tried to sit up, making Jak rush to help and pull me up to sit. We looked at each other's eyes and smiled. "What happened?" I asked, Daxter jumping onto the foot of the bed.

"Daxter got a pair of pants, Tess turned into an ottsel..." Jak said, making me confused but not doubtful as Veger turned into one too.

"Jak here was offered another adventure, but into space!" Daxter shouted.

"I turned it down, I couldn't leave." Jak sat down next to me.

"What?" I was baffled. "Why'd you do that?"

"I couldn't leave you behind like this." He grinned, although it turned into a smirk.

"My hero." I leaned in, Jak moving closer. "What are you gonna do now?"

Jak stared into my eyes, as a tiny bit of a thud hit my heart hard. "Maybe try saving the world again, but I need my partner." We leaned in closer, feeling myself wanting this more then anything else right now. Jak's breath hit my lips as we were this close. I wanted him to kiss me, and I think he did too.

"Hey!" Daxter shouted, we looked to him. Seeing his head in the box of chocolates. "If you're not having these, can I?"

Daxter's comment prevented our kiss, but we didn't push it any longer.
