under the darkness of night

[jakepeyton]

𝕵ake 𝕻eyton had well and truly fallen off the wagon. Was that the saying? He wasn’t sure, but the past few weeks he had been needing more and more to numb the internal pain that he was always in. Plus, the physical pain was getting bad again too. Before now, Jake had been able to more or less hide his leg impairment. He hadn’t used the cane for years, and the limp had slowly faded, but now it was back because the pain... Oh, the pain. IT kept him up at night, a heavy hit the only thing knocking him out. That’s why he was in the park so late at night, he had arranged to pick up from his dealer and he had just done that before turning and noticing eyes on him. “What?” Jake snapped, leaning forward a little as he stuffed the smack bag into his jacket pocket. “You think you’re so high and mighty you can just judge everyone? You got something to fuckin’ say?”

❇ ~ After the end of a long shift waiting tables, there was nothing Antonin wanted to do more than sit down at a bar with some friends and have a few drinks. While he was waiting he’d gotten into a rather animated conversation with another patron at the bar. “ So you see, mathematically, it would be possible to one day make an orbital ring around the earth that would be inhabitable. ”

𝕵ake screwed up his face as he tried to get an understand of what this man was saying. There were two things getting in his way of that goal. Number one, he was high as fuck. Number two, he was dumb as fuck. Jake hadn’t even graduated High School. “For sure?” He questioned like he was on board with this. “Like, you think they could build a Wendy’s on the orbit-- what was it called again?”

Luci was no stranger to catching people’s eyes wherever she went, in fact it was a given - no she wasn’t a pretentious stuck up mole who only thought high and mighty of herself instead she was the opposite, wishing that the attention was on someone else rather then on her; “No sorry, I have a boyfriend” she told the other was currently chewing her ear off; “Oh? Yeah he is in the bathroom he should be right out any minute” lie after lie left her lips as she prayed the drunken strange individual would get the fucking hint and leave her alone.

“𝕺h,” Jake breathed out, shaking his head a little as the woman made it clear there was some kind of miscommunication going on here. “I wasn’t trying to hit on you even if you are... Nevermind, I just,” this was humiliating. Why him. “I’ve just... My phone has just been stolen from me whilst I was trying to take a leak and I... Can I use your phone? To call a taxi?”

His immediate response to her tease pleased her immensely.  She certainly hadn’t intended to do anything for the rest of the day except go home and work some more, perhaps open a bottle of wine but this was a welcome and entertaining distraction.  “I’m Megan” she replied briefly, lips pursed as her eyes held his for longer that was strictly necessary.  “So many questions,” she joked though a particular drip of water making it’s way down his chest made it harder to focus.  “I’ll be honest though, I tend to be more concerned with things heating up than cooling down.  Although the air conditioning in my apartment has never failed to keep me cool or there is a sweet little park a few blocks from here with a old oak tree that has a wonderfully sturdy and wide trunk….it’s not much good for cooling down either though now that I think about it.”  Jake, she nodded at the name as she blatantly stared at his bare torso as it glistened in the sun.  The name suited him as did the look and she was beginning to question why she wondered about wet denim as a look in the first place.

𝕿his was certainly not how Jake had pictured his afternoon going. But, he also was in no rush to change the path of events seemingly about to unfold. Jake did not blink away or retreat his eyes as their gaze held for longer than strangers usually held eye contact, nor his smirk fade from his lips. This was already much more fun that sitting in a public water fountain getting high as a kite. Megan seemed a much better distraction than drugs right now. “Even with an air conditioning blowing on full, I’m sure we could find a way to heat things up.” His tone made it seem almost like that was a challenge. Jake’s tongue rolled over his lip as his own eyes fell to her chest too then back up to her eyes. “Lead the way, Megan.”.

Over dramatic? If Tee was a violent person he would have punched him right now. Jake was lucky that he wasn’t the physical sort. He didn’t need punches or kicks to hurt because he knew how to use his words to cut deep. How did he ever believe this guy right here could be his friend? Him. Tee the loner who preferred to spend his lunch breaks in the library rather than having to hang around other people in the cafeteria. Jake was one of the popular kids, a basketball player. God, he could be so stupid sometimes. “Some friends you had. Then again, of course they were assholes if they willingly chose to hang out with the likes of you.” Tee ignored the little voice in his head telling him he’d also done the same before Jake fucked him over. “You know your so called friends told everyone? I couldn’t go anywhere without having people talk shit behind his back.” He almost told him about the times guys around school would feel he owed it to them to hook up then bit his tongue; Jake didn’t deserve to know. “Of course not. People like you don’t apologise. You wouldn’t mean it even if you did.” He laughed even though there was nothing funny about it. “I really thought you were my friend. Silly me.”

𝕵ake was really trying to recall everything that happened way back when. He had, partly willingly and partly unwillingly, blocked out a lot of his memories before the crash happened. It was just easier to deal with not dealing with what had happened to him. He knew that the rumours were spreading around before he left, he could recall hearing them in hallways but he had no idea that they’d carry on for more than a week at best. It was high school, that’s what rumours did. Clearly, Jake was wrong because Tee was angry as hell... Deep down, Jake did feel bad for what he did. Deep down, Jake really hated seeing Tee hurt. Deep down, his words stung. “Again, dude, it was like eight years ago. Things and people change, and I’m not the one who just spilled their coffee over the person behind me and then continued to be a fucking dick to them, so who’s the real asshole right now?” Jake deflected becuase that was easier. Always with the easy route. “People like me? Tee, you don’t fucking know me. You have no idea who I am anymore, not a single clue. And, I was your friend. You’re telling me you’ve never told anyone about any of your sex life? At all? I’m sorry that shit spread around the school man, honestly, but it isn’t my fucking fault.”.

timmyteehill​:

How Tee wished it was that easy and he could get over it and completely forget it ever happened. But how could he when those were some of the worst moments of his life? Students who barely used to give him a second glance suddenly couldn’t stop talking about him. He was seen as easy and people he’d never talked to were expecting to hook up with him. All because of Jake’s words. If it wasn’t for Eevee, he didn’t think he would have gotten through the rest of high school. The new attention would have bothered anyone but he was a loner so it seemed worse. And the fact that all this happened because a friend broke his trust didn’t help. “You ruined my life you fucking asshole so I’m sorry if I can’t just get over it”, he snapped. “Did you ever even care about what you did?”

𝕭ack then, things had really got out of control. Jake didn’t even really have a clue how bad it was for Tee because after only a few days of their gossip spreading, his time at that school was up and he moved back to Philly. How was he supposed to know it ruined his life? At least, that’s what he was trying to tell himself right now because the truth was seeing Tee again and hearing that he hated him really hurt. It hurt because it was his fault. Everything was his fault. “You’re being over-dramatic, dude. I told the basketball team because they were asking about what I got up to at the weekend, they were my friends. I’m just not supposed to speak to my friends? Is that it?” Of course Jake was just trying to protect himself right now. “What do you want from me? A fucking apology?”

Megan let out a laugh before she shook her head, replying confidently, “Trust me darling, I have an amazing memory for safe words.”  He was challenging in a fun way and she shrugged at the reply, “Private or public, it doesn’t bother me that much although I’ll be honest that I’d rather be a bit further away from my office for a public display.”  She’d barely finished uttering the words when he stood and there was no way she was not going to enjoy the sight of a fit, wet guy dripping water.  Distracted for the moment she only caught the end of what he said.  “Soaking wet denim is a definite look,” she mumbled as she brushed her hair back from her shoulders.

𝕿o say she had captured his full attention would most certainly be an understatement. “Yeah?” He rose his eyebrows in intrigue as he waded through the water and stepped out of the fountain next to her. “Well, maybe the first safe word I keep in mind should be your name?” Jake grinned as he glanced around the otherwise empty square before returning his eyes to hers. “And how far away is far away enough from your office? And where is this place you like to cool down in?” He questioned with that grin never leaving his lips. Yeah, he was fully aware she was checking him out and he was absolutely leaning into it. “I’m Jake.”

Jake really didn’t remember him at all. That hurt. For so long he’s been all Tee could think about; his biggest regret. It was so long ago now but nothing could make him forget the silence that fell over everyone the second he walked through the school doors that first time. And for weeks later he was the talk of the school; with everyone talking about whatever Jake said they did. To have it confirmed that the other had forgotten all about him the second he left was not a great feeling. Tee looked down at Jake’s shirt and smirked. “I can see that”, he shrugged. “I’m not the asshole here. Do you tell everyone you see about who you’ve slept with so often that you can’t even remember them after?”

𝕾uddenly, the face fit and all of these memories that he’d forgotten he even had came flooding back to him. School exchange programme back when he was... What? 16? 17? He met Tee and they became fast friends which led to something more and Jake, the star point guard, jock of his school... He was only sixteen, not that excuses could be made for what he did, but he just thought that’s what everyone did because all the other boys bragged about who they fucked. Turns out, a lot of their stories were fake... Who knew? Still. He’d never meant for it to circulate the entire school, but that’s what happened and he was too proud to say sorry back then. “Wait, fuck! Tee?!” Jake reached past him disgruntled and snatched a stack of napkins, hitting his chest and rubbing the shirt to get off the liquid. “Dude, that shit was, what? Eight years ago? Nine? Get the fuck over it, man.”

Brandon couldn’t believe what he was seeing. This guy was literally chilling…in a public water fountain. There were pools to be used but that wasn’t the case. The confidence he had was insane. Maybe a bit much “It’s public for people to stop and look at, public to even use for a wish, but it is not public for you or any other person to bathe in!” He spat, shaking his head. “I oughta call the police but your luck, they’ll be here before you know it because some Karen is going to fear suzie’s eyes have been scarred.” 

𝕾ome time had passed since Jake got into the fountain and now he was actually getting a little cold. Still, he felt he should justify his position to the approach-er which is why he spoke out. Jake jumped up to his feet with a laugh, waving off the other man’s concern. “Eh, no worry about it, dude,” he commented as he shook his hair around and then stepped out of the water, grabbing his top from the side. “But you know you’re the forth person who has said something about the Police to me, I’m starting to think public bathing might be illegal... You a lawyer, Sir?”

“Oh absolutely,” Megan replied as she leaned forward a little as if to confide in him.  “I’m just wondering where I left my handcuffs and whether I can recall the correct caution to give as I was interrupted strolling through the park and wishing I was somewhere cooler with a chilled wine in my hand.”   She stepped closer and looked in the water again, wrinkling her nose, “Like somewhere clean….and more private.”  She stepped back with a chuckle as he showed her his jeans, “No I suppose swimsuits are optional but have you ever tried to walk or even remove soaking wet denim - not the fun kind of undressing.”

𝕵ake’s jaw dropped a little as this mystery woman leaned into their conversation and spoke about handcuffs and cautions. He styled out the surprise of the apparent forwardness into a sly grin, leaning back against the wall of the fountain as his eyes gave her a once over. “Trying to recall the correct caution, or your favourite safe word?” He parried back before following her look to the water again. “The water seems clean enough, but maybe not private enough if you’re more of a behind closed doors girl,” he smirked. Jake then finally stood up, whipping his hair back and running his hands through it to push out the excess water. “I don’t know about it not being fun, if you’re a fun kind of person you can make any situation interesting, right? Even soaking wet denim.”
