These Open Burns [*Closed*ONE-ON-ONE]

(Lmaoo it's all good man, it happens)

Jake held back a glare at Lighter but said nothing. Was this it? Was this the universe's way of telling him that this wasn't going to go down well? What if he left right now? Would things be different if he did? Would he be able to avoid something he was going to regret in the near future? Yeah, probably. He huffed, frustrated. "Alright, then…" he said, his voice trailing off. What he was going to say next was probably not the best thing he could of said in this situation. "But from this point on you have to give me every reason to stay. So don't mess up on me because I really want be with you. You've got to ditch those people." He said, refering to the gang and his family. He shoved his hands into his pockets as Lighter pulled away from him. Jake knew that it probably wasn't going to be that hard for Lighter to decide to leave them, hell, he had said so in the first few minutes they had met. What was going to be a problem was the gang. How were they going to run away having the gang on Lighter's tail? What about Lighter's family? Would they report him missing since he is technically still underage? He stopped thinking about it suddenly. What if Lighter wasn't willing to do that. Or go with him anywhere for that matter. He ruffles up his hair, making it messy. He needed to get his act together. He smiles tiredly at Lighter. "I won't." He reassured Lighter, but it was more of a warning towards himself than anything else. He nodded when Lighter suggested they pay for the food, then let Lighter take his hand again. After all that thinking Jake's eyes looked extremely tired, maybe even dull.

That was all the confirmation Jake needed. He stops suddenly, his expression turning dark. "What if someone kidnaps you against your will? Will they still kill you then or would they target the person who did the kidnapping?" There was something far more dark and sinister behind Jake's eyes. His whole being yelled danger. There was something unfriendly in his expression as he took a step towards Lighter. At the same time Jake was yelling at himself to stop, to just walk away but once Jake set his mind to something it was hard to change his mind.
(Just note that Jake in particular is more of a villain type of character, so not everything he does is exactly reasonable in other people's eyes)

Jake keeps walking towards Lighter. "They won't kill us if they don't know where we are." He stops when he sees Lighter backing up. "Why are you backing away? Are you scared too? Scared of what I might do? Do you really think I will hurt you?" Jake kept his dark eyes trained on Lighter for a while then looks away. He couldn't stand himself and the way people acted around him when he showed his true colors. He had to constantly remind himself that people feared who he was. That same thought that his family had drilled into him kept him from escaping them for so long. Maybe he should just go back. For some reason the though of returning made him feel at ease, especially with how Lighter looked terrified of him. Jake had yet to learn how to deal with situations like these, because whenever things didn't go his way the first thought was either to kill or force the person to do what he said. It was as if someone completely different was controlling him. He takes a step back, a broken look in his eyes. "Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." He says harshly as he turns his back to Lighter. He reaches up to rub his eyes, giving out a shaky sigh.

(Lmaoo well thanks, but I'm beginning to think I made him too intense)

After a while Jake spoke up. "Now that you know who I really am do I have your permission to stay or do you want me to leave?" He asked, knowing full well that he was going to walk out that door. Jake reached for his other arm and rubbed it uncomfortably. He was the worst but he knew that he couldn't hide his true nature forever. If he had bottled it up and snapped at Lighter later on, he shivers at the though and makes his way towards the door. If he stayed, he might just become like one of Lighter's abusers. He wasn't about to let that happen.

Jake looked back at Lighter. Was this guy serious? Wasn't he afraid? Who in their right mind would want to keep him around? Jake closed the door as he had opened it to leave. "Lighter are you sure about this? I mean, I could leave now, try and take out that gang of yours, hopefully. and you won't see me or the gang anymore, sounds nice doesn't it?" He walked over to where Lighter was and sat down, he gave him a small side smile. "But if you decide to keep me now I can't promise that I won't do everything in my ability to keep you safe, even if it kills me. Just know that you're the nicest person I've met by far and that's an understatement." He pets Lighter's head, who looked like he was about to cry.

Jake hugs Lighter, his dangerous aura turning into a protective one. That was just it. Anyone who wanted a go at Lighter would have to get through Jake first. He would go as far as killing if Lighter let him. "I won't leave you if you don't want me to, but if I get too much to handle just say the word and I'll be on my way." Jake smiled a bit at Lighter's answer. "If you want to keep me then make sure to use me to the best of your ability. I can do a lot of things you don't want to do or are afraid to do." Jake frowned a bit at the mention of suicide. "No Lighter, you can't do that. It'd be cruel to say you want me but then turn around and leave me. If there is anything I could do to take that thought out of your head I'd do it. You're not alone. Not anymore anyways." Jake runs his hands through Lighter's hair, trying to comfort the sad guy, though he was the last person who should of been doing that.

Jake had a small grin on his face as he hears Lighter's decision. He'd only said to use him because that's what the other people in his life had done and at this point he didn't mind so much anymore. "The world is pretty jacked up, you just have to know how to get back at it….and there's more to the word 'escaping', it doesn't necessarily mean that you have to take yourself out of this world. We could run away…" he trails off then flinches when Lighter suddenly hugs him. "H-hit you?! I would never..!" He hugs Lighter back, blushing a little. "You don't have to be afraid of being alone…I'll be here for you. Though I really am sorry about earlier…I'm not used to what you guys call normal human behavior. I seem to lack that for some reason" Jake felt weird talking about himself not being 'normal', he knew he wasn't but he had never admitted it out loud.

(Lmaoo that's alright we can just pretend they were already there since I just tagged along with what you said)

"Then run away with me" Jake said in return as Lighter's grip tightened around him. "And don't worry, I won't be going anywhere so you won't be alone" Jake's voice had taken on a sort of gentlness to it. It was hard to believe that the person he was a few seconds ago was the Jake right now. Jake smiles sadly at Lighter's question. "Yeah…for as long as I've known I've had to participate in these street fights were people go to bet, y'know, for fun….even at a young age I was thrown in. My mother just stood by and watched as my father did with me as he wished. I was home schooled, which meant I got to spend my days in the dark basement. Being tested again and again by my father. He wanted to make sure I was ready….ready to kill that is. That and my cousin tried to take advantage of me but that's just a minor inconvenience"

(Lmaoo nah dude you're fine, it happens)
Jake sighed, feeling relaxed for once. It felt nice. He closed his eyes as he laid down on the bed. "We could but it wouldn't last forever…" he said in a tired voice, not bothering to open his eyes. "Mhm, it wasn't too bad though when they force you to kill the person in front of you….that's when it became a big no no for me…" Jake was about to say something else but Lighter suddenly jerked him closer towards him on the bed. "W-what? Oh…yeah it was a guy and no, not this time…I managed to get away this time around. That's why I planned to run away…even before all that happened"

Jake looked away, he didn't really like talking about it. "Well, I was once straight" he joked. "But who can stay straight after that?" He luaghed a bit. Jake was so close to Lighter now that he took the opportunity to kiss his boyfriend. "It's alright, really. I'm over it, it wasn't a big deal, don't worry about it too much" he said, warming up to Lighter. He had never seen Lighter this worked up, it was cute.

Jake relaxed his posture, not realizing that he had been so tense when he was talking about his family. "Yeah, me neither…" Jake chuckled at Lighter when kissed him a second time. He snuggled up to lighter, holding him close, liking how the warmth of his body felt.

Jake smiled. This was the first time anyone wanted him for other than killing. "Mm mhm, I think I will stay~" he said in a blissful state. He wasn't gonna lie, he was genuinely happy. Jake's smile only grew as he listened to Lighter. "Sounds like a plan, I just hope I don't end up scaring you anymore…" he muttered as he nearly drifted off to sleep. Finally some real rest in a long time.

Jake shook his head gently. "I could never hate you no matter what you do. I love you too much for that" If Jake would have been fully alert right now he probably would have been blushing like crazy. He wanted to rest a bit more by Lighter's side. He hoped that Lighter would stay. He'd figure something out to get them both out of here. Jake drifted off to sleep in Lighter's arms thinking about the many possibilities the situations could go down but no matter how hard he thought about it, it either led to Lighter getting killed or getting himself killed.

(alright since my character is already asleep I really got nothin' to say dude. Maybe you could pull some strings right about now?)

(alrighty you're all good my dude)
