Wilting Flowers

Kiss?

Jake ginned at Dirk, he poked Dirks hand. "How could I not sit down, your so cute!" He exclaimed, a blush spreading across his tan cheeks. Dirk looked down and blushed, "t-thanks? " he asked, not really knowing how to reply to such a complaint. Dirk moved a piece of hair out of his own face. Jake, proud he could make the smaller male blush, readjusted his glasses. Dirk got a text, "Sorry one sec its Dave." Dirk said. Dave told Dirk he was going on a date and wouldn't be back till tomorrow. Dirk smirked a little, even though they were twins. Dirk was the one who acted older and easily could get a job. Dave on the other hand wasn't so like that. Being a mute was difficult and not alot of people knew sign language. He aslo didn't have a translator which didn't help his situation. Dave was very dependent on Dirk, though he serectly felt guilty about it.

Dirk closed his phone and put it back into his pocket making ideal chit-chat with Jake for a while. Jake eventually had to go, due to a small family emergency. Dirk said it was fine he could walk home on his own but Jake insisted he walk him there, saying he needed something from his living space. Dirk finally said yes and they started walking. "No no im just saying that being a magical girl isn't the best idea!" Dirk explained. Jake smiled and gave him a counter agreement, though he could care less about some anime hadn't watched in forever, he only wanted to see Dirk to drop his cool. This showed the true nerd, he was. Jake watched him as he gave hand gestures, almost knocking over a plant at some point. He liked to watch the way he looked down infront of him as he explained something. It was just...cute, and dorky. Jake liked it. Jake walked Dirk to his door before giving him a fist bump goodbyes for now.

Dirk smiled a small blush on his face as he walked in. "Yo Dave I'm home" he said, he only got small moans in return. Dirk frowned walking over and peering over the couch, Dave and some boy with ruffled blackish brown hair were making out. Dirks eyes widened and Dave pulled away, his shades all messed up in his hair. His eyes were wide as well. The boy below Dave peaked over then squeaked, covering his face with his hands and laying back down. Dave quickly tryed to sign something. He fucked up and just restored to boy. The oy peaked over again, his wide blue ones staring into Dirks. "D-dave is my boyfriend....y-your his twin right?" He asked, his voice was high pitched and he stuttered on words. Dirk nodded, before slowly exiting the apartment. Jake was in the hallway and saw Dirk. "Whats wrong chap? You look all flustered" Jake walked over. Dirk blushed harder. "I-i just uh w-walked in o-on dave and his boyfriend....doing stuff" he mumbled running his hand through his hair. "Oh."

Jake said. "Yeah...dave never mentioned his boyfriend. He was like, he looked like I don't know was like super girl like but wasn't. " he said. Jake frowned a little "does this boy happen to have big blue eyes and messy dark brown hair? " he asked. "Yes!" Dirk exclaimed. " Oh my thats john my adopted cousin thing....his sister got all worried when he didn't check in! Shes super protective! " he said grinning. Dirk smiled "I guess he been busy" He chuckled at his own joke. Jake found that adorable.

Dirk shivered as he ran through out campus to his next class. It had snowed last night for some reason. Indiana weather sucked, Dirk slipped a small patchof ice. He yelped getting a face full of snow. Dirk sat up and grabbed his nose which had hit a rock. He sighed seeing he had a bloody nose. "This is so not fair" he whined, grabbing an old napkin from his back pack. He stood up and put it under his nose continuing on his way to class.

Dirk coughed as he pulled the napkin away seeing his nose stopped bleeding. Class had just finished, he stood up grabbing his things. He bumped into a girl, he said a small sorry leaving quickly. Yet, the girl wouldn't accept that "Excuse you!!" She yelled after him. Dirk turned around and stuck his tongue out. She frowned and started to walk towards him. "Oh shit" Dirk mumbled, his pace picked up. Ye again he bumped into someone and looked up. It was Jake. He could feel his warmth. He took a deep breath, Jake smelled of slices and wood. He smelled like nature pretty much but he also smelled of cologne. He had over you used it and the nature and artificial sents was a weird yet charming mix. It made Dirk a little dizzy as he stared up at Jake noticing his mouth was moving. Dirk was brought back to real worl my Jake grabbing his shoulders. He was shook and pushed Jake off stumbling backwards. He was dazed and confused, getting drawn into a whole other world. Dirk frowned and rubbed his eyes, the light hurting. "What?" He asked, stepping towards the taller male again. " Why is there dryed blood under your nose?!" Jake asked again. Dirk could sense he was concerned, and looked down. "I slipped on the ice and uh fell" he said. Of course if Dirk would have been with anyne else he would of said something along the lnes off, there is? Oh well! But Dirk was with Jake, so he told him the truth. Jake couldn't help but chuckle, "You? Fall? I thought you were 'Mr. Cool kid strider' " he said. He grinned. Dirk crossed his arms pouty "thats dave stupid" he mumbled.

Jake yawned, leaning back on his couch. He was extremely bored, he had nothing to do. His school stuff was done, he had no classes today and there was nothing to watch. He groaned and stood up stretching. He grabbed a blanket and went into his bedroom. Jake layed down cuddling up in small ball almost instantly falling asleep.

Jake awoke to a pounding on his door. His brian was fogged up with sleep. He stumbled out of bed, going top open the door. He opened the door to find Dirk. Dirk looked paler then usual. He looked up at Jake. He rubbed his eyes. "I know its late but my apartment was broken into and I have no where to stay." He whispered. "Daves at Johns" he added. Jake felt pity and let him in "yeah yeah of course" He rubbed his own eyes and sat down on the couch. Dirk sat down next to him. Jakes apartment was a little messy. The sink was full of dirty dishes. Dirk siged and didn't think as he layed his head down on Jakes shoulder. He wanted comfort from the other. Jake blushed and was going to ask him to move before he fully realized what had happened. "What exactly happened? " he asked. He looked down at the small boy. "We were sleeping and Dave ran in...he started shaking me and he was crying. He was trying to sign but was too scared to. I figred out what was wrong when I heard something break. Dave and I hid under the bed while I called the police." Dirk whispered. He was shaking and sniffled. "They got away and took everything. " he mumbled. "All my stuff really since I didn't keep it just in my room..." Dirk looked up at him. He has tear marks down his face and looked tired. Jake rubbed his back, wanting to comfort him. Dirk leaned against him more. He felt like a small child and whispered "I'm tired..." Jake smiled slightly. "Go to sleep then" he kept rubbing his back until the smaller fell asleep. Jake picked him up and carried him jnto his room. He placed him in his bed. Jake grabbed a pillow and a blanket. He stared at Dirks sleeping form for a few seconds before going to sleep on the couch.

Dirk woke up in an unfamiliar bed, with unfamiliar sheets and pillows.

It didn't smell like felt and metal. It smelled off wood and rain. The blankets were warm and fluffy and he didn't want to get up. Yet, Dirk did anyways. He followed the sent of coffee and found himself in Jakes living room. Jake sitting on the couch, with a cup of coffee watching the news. Dirks face got hot and he took a sharp breath. Jake turned to see Dirk and flashed him a smile. "Your awake! Gosh you sure do sleep heavily, the police came by earlier to ask you some but you were asleep so they left. " Jake said standing up. Dirk blushed harder then rembered what happened last night. He rubbed is eyes, and started shaking. "Whats wrong? " he asked. Dirk shook his head. "Im going h-home now..." he whispered. Jake grabbed his wrist before he could leave "you cant, remember? " he said. "O-oh..." dirk breath, his chest tightening as jake touch him. Jake pulled him down onto the couch. He let go of dirks wrist. Dirk coughed a little. He curled up on the couch next to jake. Jake blushed and grabbed his cup of coffee.

Dirk groaned bored later that day. He was excused from all classes, the police still couldn't find the person or people who broke in. Dave got pariond and started going back to therapy. Jake came and sat down next to Dirk. Dirk looked up at him, his eyes resting on his lips for a second or two. It was tempting to sit up more and connect their lips. Yet, Dirk was afraid to. "What would you do if I kissed you?" Dirk blurted out, a blush rising to his cheeks. Jake was taken back a bit. "I-i'd kiss back of course! " jake whispered. He looked down at Dirk, clearly blushing as well. Dirk sat up, his knees under him. He looked upbat Jake their faces close. Then Dirk pulled away, "Sorry....I know your straight don't pretend to not be to make me happ-" dirk was cut of by a pair of lips kissing his own. He was t ta ken back a bit but his eyes fluttered shut and he kissed back. Jake was soon basically on top of him, he pulled back smiling "I'm not straight stupid, anyways your too cute to not kiss" Dirk blushed harder and wrapped his arms around Jakes neck smiling. Jake smiled and kissed Dirks cheek, Dirk grinned and squeaked.
