     “Hey, so, um…” Jake turned his head to look over at Tessa, getting lost in the way that he could admire all of her features up close like this for a moment before he cleared his throat. “What are we doing here?” he asked. Jake hated these conversations, but when disaster had struck, Tessa was one of the first people to cross his mind. He had let go of caring how it looked, desperate to keep her close to him so that he could ensure she was safe. Now that the nightmare was over, however, Jake could step back far enough for his feelings for the other to terrify him. 

Maybe she’d been extra clingy, but with the time off she didn’t want to spend it with anyone else. What happened had scared her and the person whose side she didn’t want to leave was Jake’s. “Hmm? Is that your way of saying you’re bored?” Tessa teased. They were on her bed and Tessa was reading, legs swung over Jake’s lap. Putting her book down Tessa turned her attentions to Jake, straddling him and kissing his neck. “This cure the boredom?” she chuckled.

Text: Tessa x Jake

jake: next time, when my wit is at it's full capacity.

jake: oh so you saw through that huh?

jake: okay. I don't want to go to the infirmary, though.

Tessa: Why not? That's where the good drugs are

Tessa: and if it's bad enough you don't want an infection to set it.

Tessa: but let me look at it, i'm on my way. Silly Boy.

Text: Tessa x Jake

jake: I was about to say that explaining that was going to be more painful than the stab wound.

jake: but you got there.

jake: play nurse is an option? play nurse it is ma'am

jake: I'll be fiiine

Tessa: 😝😝😝😝

Tessa: I got there. But, it would have been hilarious if you had to explain.

Tessa: the triple i makes me think otherwise sir. Where are you? And also who stabbed you? I have so many questions.

Thorn shrugged. “Yeah, well, people are stupid,” she said. “Especially when they’re desperate.” She gave another little shrug as she glanced over at her. “Who the hell needs a dating app around this place, anyway? It couldn’t be any easier to meet someone. They always have us together. Getting some breathing room at this school is like winning the lottery.” She snorted. “Yeah, I didn’t do any clubs. Unless that stupid peer sponsor group counts.”

Tessa didn’t think the peer sponsorship was stupid but was she wasn’t about to let her fellow peers know she was actually taking it seriously. After her mother had passed and her father had landed her in quite a bit of trouble, Tess thought maybe it was time to turn things around and do something with her life, put her talents to good use rather than land herself in hot water all the time. “I mean if you want to get technical about it. I just added some piloting and mechanical clubs, anything to help brush up my speciality.”

jake: I'm covered in blood for sexy reasons. Also I just got stabbed.

Tess: Are these things mutual? How does one get sexy stabbed? Oh wait....

Tess: but seriously, how wounded are u? Like play nurse wounded or drag your ass to infirmary wounded?

Thorn glanced at the picture. “Well, that’s just lazy,” she said. “But men suck, so. It’s really not that much of a shock.” She took another look at the picture. “The stock photo guy isn’t even that cute. He looks like the human Shrek.”

“This is just silly. I don’t even want to meet any one this was just for curiosities sake.” she shook her head deleting the app. She wasn’t sure why she had let one of the girls download it on her phone to begin with. “Besides, who has time to date around here - I’m up to my eyeballs in work and extracurriculars.”

 “I think I’d get too tangled up in one of those things, honestly” Especially given how much fighting Jake had been doing on the ground. His flight had been…unreliable, at best in past years and he had needed to learn how to adapt to the tools that he could use. He had never wanted to be anything else, always watching his older sister with stars in his eyes when she began her own training. He had always been in awe or Mar’i, her longest and biggest supporter and he wanted nothing more than to be just like her. “Oh, anytime” he chuckled. It was so easy for him to talk to her and Jake couldn’t place why, the words just tumbled out of his mouth without time for his usual overthinking. He hadn’t expected to know her beyond what had happened after they’d ditched that party but he wasn’t sure that he minded. She was laughing at his terrible jokes, her laughter melodic to his ears and he wanted to hear it again. “You’re modifying a plane? It’s not dumb at all” 

“Well I didn’t mean you had to fly beside it outside of the plane, I thought maybe you’d like to be a passenger for a change, but then again you don’t like being told what to do.” she teased. She hadn’t known Jake for very long but for some reason it was just easy to talk to him, to let down her guard and just be her, no expectations. “Yeah, it’s a side project, something to do around here.” And something to keep her out of trouble. If she was busy then Thorn and the others couldn’t rope her into things and it was a valid excuse to get out of it. “My dad’s a pilot, and while he talk me everything I know about flying, I kind of was interested in the technical side of things - the parts that fit together and make sense.” She shrugged trying not to get too deep about it.

     “Ah, well, you know. What can I say? Not all heroes wear capes” Jake teased, shuddering at his own words. He hated the saying. Or anything cliché like that, really. “Nobody hated that as much as I did, don’t worry” he shook his head. What a moron. “Oh, well I- It’s not like…I just saw you and, I don’t know, I figured we’ll probably bump into one another a lot so why not hang out? Which I’m now realizing is stu-” Oh. She had said yes. “You are too kind” he pressed his hand to his chest dramatically, chuckling. “What time do you get out?”

“Well some villains do....reformed villains.” she told him referring to her own costume which had a build in cape that turned into a gliding system much like her father had. He wasn’t who she thought he was, his jokes were dare she say endearing. She hadn’t expected this to go further than the closet they had hooked up in but surprisingly it had, she enjoyed their small chats and the way his lips quirked up in a grin at his own jokes. “I am, thank you for acknowledging that.” she let out a laugh. Checking her apple watch Tessa wrinkled her nose. “an hour...if you can wait that long - I can meet you, maybe take you up in the plane i’m modifying - or - you actually fly so that’s dumb.”

     Jake wanted to tell her that he didn’t care, but he was also consciously aware of the fact that the walls had eyes and he couldn’t risk this getting back to Mar’i. It wasn’t anything serious, but he knew that she would worry about him regardless. She would always worry about him. “I’m a peer sponsor, I have to consort with a known villain every day” he shrugged weakly. At least he enjoyed talking to this one. “I just thought maybe we could hang out after classes” he explained, smirking gently at her insinuation. “It wasn’t…but it could be” He certainly wasn’t going to tell her no. 

“A known villain?” Tessa said with a faux gasp. “How awfully kind of you Mr. Grayson consorting with us villains” she teased shaking her head at him before slipping her book into her book bag hanging off her shoulder. “oh.” she said surprised, her cocky expression dropping for a moment. “I thought you said it was a one time thing.” she recovered from her initial surprise giving him a smile. “I guess I could make time to consort with a known hero. Out of the goodness of my heart.”

     “Hey” Jake nodded gently as he approached Tessa in the hall, leaning against the nearby lockers. “What’s up?” It was supposed to be a one time thing between them, a chance for Jake to get Dory out of his system for good and finally move on. Jake had never been a relationship guy by any means, but the more he tried to pull away from Tessa, the harder he seemed to come running right back into her. It didn’t help that he enjoyed the way that he felt when he was with her so much. Too much, probably. He would worry about that later. “Are you doing anything?”

Tessa looked up from her book to see Jake leaning on the lockers. Her lips pressed together in a smirk as she shut her book. “Jake.” she greeted him eyes looking him over for just a moment. He’d said it was a one time thing, that he didn’t do relationships and to be honest she hadn’t cared, she hadn’t really cared much for the party she had been at either when they’d bumped into each other, he was just a distraction from the day, the anniversary of the day her mother had passed. Yet, here he was seeking her out again and in the hallway no less. “Careful Grayson, you’ll be seen consorting with a known villain.” she teased. Though she was sure she was the only villain taking her courses seriously. “I have class soon, so we can’t....you know, if that’s what you’re inquiring.”

"You look different from your profile pic." - @samaelharkness

“What? Different how?” she asked pulling up her profile. “I mean it’s not that old of a photo.”

"Everyone lies on their dating profiles." - @thxrnisley​ 

“Maybe about their height or something silly like that but....that’s a full out stock photo.” Tessa frowned squinting at the photo. “This is straight up an actor.”
