I Like Me Better When I'm With You: Subway Surfer Story
Summary: This is about Jake and Fresh, of course, as well as their secret relationship. Basically, Jake isn't Jake without Fresh. He feels as though life is boring without his boyfriend. Yeah, he has Yutani and Tricky, but Fresh is not only his boyfriend but his day one. So, when Fresh isn't by his side, Jake is bland.
❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 💗 💘 ❤️ 💙 💜 💖
It's nothing but a random ass day in the city. As always, the Core Crew gang hang out after school at the skate park. But... Fresh isn't present. His family ALWAYS has something going on. It's either he's loaded with babysitting duty, chores, taking care of his grandpa, or just his mom texting him: "Come straight home after school." Either way, it's ridiculous.
Currently, it was just Tricky, Jake, and Yutani. The girls were just chatting, though Yutani did most of the work of yapping. Tricky then seems to notice Jakes brooding mood. He was just pushing his skateboard around, hands in his pocket, and looking like a muppet. Mind you, neither of the two knows their dating. Trick was just about to question him but was interrupted by his phone he placed on the table.
"Yo J, your phone is ringing like crazy!" She shouted, "Who is it? If it's my mom, let it ring." he responded grumpy. "Actually, jack-ASS. It's -" She looks at the screen, "My boo-tiful hot boy -" He quickly snatched the phone before she could confirm the caller. Jake answered it as he walked away in a scurry from the girls. Once, he made sure he was out of sight, "Hey baby," he greeted. "Hi Jacob," responded Fresh, "Uh oh, am I in trouble..?" asked Jake. "No. I just wanted to call you to see if you had plans tonight." he said as Jakes brow raised, "Besides staying out late and missing you, I don't. Why?", "Well.. I came to the conclusion that I might be home alone for the night and... I was wondering if you wanted to come over?"
Jakes face went from neutral to pure excitement. Finally, he could be himself around him. "Hell yeah. I'll be there shortly," he said. On the other line, Fresh smiled ever so softly, "See you there, baby." He responded before hanging up. Jacob ended up doing a little victory dance. He always loved seeing his boyfriend as he displayed that in many ways through kisses, gifting, and so on. He soon walked back over to the girls as Yutani peaked an eyebrow up, "Well, you're quite cheeky." She pointed out teasingly, "Yeah bro, who got yoy smiling like that my guy??" Tricky added. Jake blushed as he scoffed, "It's personal. Don't worry about it," he then grabbed his skateboard, "I um.. gotta go. See yall tomorrow." And with that, he took off to see his day 1.
After what felt like hours, really 30 minutes, he made it to Fresh's home/apartment. He checks in with the receptionist who is familiar with the teenage boy, rode up the elevator, and found his door. Jake hyped himself up as he took a deep breath before knocking. Soon, a brown skinned boy with brown eyes and big glasses opened the door, Jacobs ray of sunshine. His usual high top is now in a bun, which is rare because Fresh has really long hair when it's straightened. Jake took in the sighting as his breath hitched, "Well, look at you. Always as beautiful as ever," he complimented as it made his boyfriend blush pink slightly. "Oh stop, you," he flattered, letting him in. "Sooo... are you sure you're alone alone?" Asked Jake while Fresh closed the door, "I checked ten times just to make sure, " he responded. Jake grinned slightly as he smoothly backed up Fresh against the door, "Good."
This only made the boy blush harder, giggling nervously. Scanning his partners appearance, commenting, "Um- did you change your style? I didn't know we were going sleeveless," he touched Jakes bicep, "Though I'm not complaining." Jake chuckled nervously as well, "I... may or may not have done this just for you.." he responded as he looked away. Fresh's expression softens with a smile, wrapping his arms around his neck, "No need to, Jay. I still love you just the way you are." Those words made Jake beam with life like he was Mickey Mouse with his Minnie Mouse. Grinning ear to ear to be the Chesire Cat. Then, he peppered his lover face with kisses, pulling away, " Oh, you are just the best!" He continued his endless kisses. Fresh laughed at the endearing behavior, "You're so corny!" He shouted as Jake eventually pulled away, "Besides, I have other plans." He said before taking Jakes hand and pulling him along.
The two lovebirds walked into the living "next door" where there's this disney like romantic scene. Candles, rose petals on the coffee table, pastries freshly baked on plates, water, and all. The room smelled like gourmand vanilla and sweet caramel. Jacobs eyes widened at the scenery with a lot of surprise, "Woah. Baby, you did all of this?" He asked in shock. "Is it too much?" Asked Fresh as Jake quickly jumped in, "No, no, no! It's amazing! I'm just... amazed." He said breathless truly. Fresh watched his emotions run high with that signature soft smile, "Well, let's quite standing around!" He giggled before grabbing Jakes arm and tugging him along for a night of romance.
The pair enjoyed their time of rare loneliness. They watched corny movies, talked, laughed, and most certainly kissed in between it all. It was just another successful date of being boyfriends on a date once more. Fresh eventually fell asleep on Jake. Jake was still wide awake. His attention was divided between television and his boo-thang lag in his arms. He was also in deep thought about their relationship and himself. All Jake could wonder about was how different his life would be with Fresh by his side or even knowing Fresh's existence. He looked to his side where Fresh slept close, with his head on Jake's shoulder, and smiled softly. "I'm not sure what I'd do with myself without you... but I think I like me better when I'm with you." He whispered almost to himself as the night goes, soon falling asleep moments later.
