we should talk about things. (Nog to Jake) || @stonespacey Inbox Asks || Accepting
Jake's a bundle of nerves when he hears those five words. He's normally a smooth talker, able to get his way out of most situations that his stupid mouth gets him in to but on the last night of Nog's leave before he went back to the academy they'd had a few drinks. Jake was dangerous on drinks and then he couldn't control his mouth or what it said or even where it went.
They hadn't talked about how Jake leaned in while they were sitting at the far corner table at Quarks. They didn't talk about how Nog was saying something and that Jake was so lost and mesmerized by him that he'd stopped listening. They didn't talk about how Jake closed the gap placing his lips on Nogs and they didn't talk about how Nog had kissed him back and they were doing it like their life depended on it. They didn't have time to talk about these things before Nog left and then he was gone for weeks.
Now he was back for a week and looking up at Jake with a serious expression on his face. Yeah they did need to talk... they needed to talk about that for sure. Jake just wasn't sure where to start. For someone who was so good with words and stringing them together the ability had suddenly left him completely. "Um right yeah we should talk about... just before you left." Jake looked down knowing that his nerves were displayed all over his face. What if Nog didn't like him like that or what if he was about to let him down gently because he's met someone at the academy. Damn Jake how could you be so stupid you haven't even finished your sonnet about him to profess your feelings. "I'm uh sorry if it was... out of line and if you want to forget about it we can do that." Jake wasn't sure he could. He thought about it all the time while he sat in their spot staring out in to the vastness of space. "I just didn't want you to leave without um... yeah... you know?"
