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

Jake raised an eyebrow to that. "A haircut?" He said unquestioningly, trying to imagine how Lighter would look like with a haircut. "I guess you could but you look fine…" he mumbled, not sure if he liked the idea or not. Lighter was already wolfing down his icecream, meanwhile Jake was just staring wide eyed at Lighter's ability to bite the icecream hungrily. Jake simply gave his icecream a small lick as he tried to recover from the scene of Lighter's teeth meeting the icy cold treat. "Yeah I can see that…you practically killed it" he laughed nervously, the imagine still stuck in his head. Jake had a dislike for stuff like that, it made him shutter and want to cringe just imagining the feeling of a certain thing. Like the feeling of teeth sinking into something cold. Or the thought of getting a brain freeze if he ate his icecream too quickly.

Jake paused and put a hand under his chin, as if inspecting Lighter. "hmmm not really, but if you want to get a hair cut I won't stop you- unless you try and get something ridiculous done to your hair. Which will be a no no." Jake nudged Lighter a bit. "I still think you look great, no matter what you get done~" He smiled sweetly.

A small smile appeared on Jake's face. "No, no, you're fine! I just never seen anyone do that before. Doesn't that like…freeze your teeth or something?" Jake shivers again, involuntarily at the though. His eyes held something similar to sympathy as Lighter spoke. "Hey, it's alright…you're not any of those things, there's no need to be ashamed of liking ice cream. Hell, I think it's a power food. One of the best~" Jake laughed at how Lighter ended his statement. "I would be a lowly piece of trash if I didn't respect my boyfriend or anyone around me, and yes. I do let you get ice cream" He chuckled. "I'll let you get as many as you want as long as you take care of yourself" Jake suddenly hugs Lighter out of nowhere, he felt an overwhelming sadness suddenly take over his chest and he didn't know why. "You know I love you right? No matter what happens from here on out don't ever give up on me alright? You're too precious to think that way and you deserve so much more" There was a lot of feeling put into his last words. Jake had no idea why he was saying all this. It was probably the feeling of finally getting some happiness. It seemed too good to be true.

Jake still didn't let go of Lighter. He kept the tears back in an attempt to not look "weak". If he let go now he might run the risk of breaking down and crying. Lately he had gotten way more emotional than he cared to admit. It was the mixed feelings of having the best thing in the world which was Lighter to constantly wanting to jump off of a building because he felt like it was a lie. Something more cruel and sinister set up by his family. He knew this wasn't true but for some reason his mind tried to desperately warn him of the oncoming danger, the red flags and everything. Jake finally pulled away, a small smile on his face on the border of dropping into the sadness which plagued his heart at the moment. "I know, I know…it's just that I think of some of the craziest things" he laughed bitterly at himself and looked away, trying to distract himself. He looks back over at Lighter at the end of the last sentence. A tired smile decorates his lips. "You're also the best thing that's happened to me…I can't express in words how much it would hurt to lose you….and I'm not talking about the suicide tendencies. I'm talking about the now really threatening gang that could hunt you down and kill you…" Jake looked down at the pavement for a few seconds. "Sorry…I know it's pointless to think about these things but I can't help it, sorry…" he said apologising, feeling like he shouldn't have said anything at all.

Jake smiled warmly at Lighter's determination of not wanting to getting caught. He believed it. He just hoped that they would be able to get out here before they found out where Lighter was staying. Jake blushed furiously when Lighter kissed him. He wasn't used to others making the first move on him, but nonetheless he kissed Lighter back with just as much passion put in his kiss as Lighter had done. "I do…I worry a lot. I may not seem like the type to care but in reality I care- too much even. I don't show it often because it's not something I'm used to showing openly and willingly…but…I am. I'm scared. To death even." He chuckles a bit and presses his lips against Lighter's again, fully indulging in the moment.

Jake noticed the gesture and took Lighter's hand in his, he was still holding the icecream in the other and hadn't bothered to touch it the whole time. "Don't worry, that's not gonna happen any time soon or ever for that matter~" Jake smiled happily until he heard the nickname 'Jakey'. "Wait, no, that's embarrassing" he said not being able to hide the blush slowly spreading across his face, but was relieved when Lighter suggestrd they go find some clothes now. "Yes lets, but a warning that all my clothes will be black. I don't like bright neon colors, they give me a headache" he said sticking his tongue out while he pretended to gag. Jake felt something wet touch his fingers so when he looked at his hand and he saw the melting icecream he panicked. He quickly ate it up then walked with Lighter in the direction of the stores, still holding his hand.

Jake eyed him suspiciously before giving up and sighing. He really couldn't say no to Lighter. "Fine. But don't overkill it." Jake looked over at Lighter with a semi-surprised look on his face. "Oh, I thought you liked colors" he said a bit plainly. He stopped suddenly and looked at Lighter. "Are you alright there?" It seemed like it was out of the blue- hell, Jake himself seemed to be acting a bit strangely. He seemed more caring and attentive to Lighter, it wasn't like his usual self but maybe that's just the effect Lighter had on him.

Jake raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Neutral colors are cool. They aren't as harsh as actual colors." He frowned at Lighter's comment on his facial expressions. "Cute when I look surprised?" He muttered grumpily. Not sure how to take the new information. He almost always looked mad or serious but when he was with Lighter it was different- a good type of different. "Well um thanks" he said meekly, feeling shy all of a sudden for some reason.

Jake blushed really hard at what Lighter said. "I uh um yeah no I too that umm me too?" He questioned which only made him sound even more stupid. As if he wasn't flustered enough Lighter went and kissed him- it was always a tease to Jake getting kissed on the neck or jaw. It made him shiver all the while trying to resist pulling Lighter somewhere private.

Jake shivered at Lighter's kisses then the whisper. He gulped and nodded, dumbfounded. "Y-yeah. N-nothing's wrong! You're just being really adorable and my body can't handle it" He muttered at the end, hoping that Lighter couldn't make out his jumbled up thoughts. "A-anyways! Let's just go and buy some stuff. You really need it." He quickly dragged Lighter on to the stores before he could tease him any further. They stopped by some places where Jake usually bought his own clothes, most of which were edgy and dark as heck. Jake knew that Lighter my not like his type of thing so he switched it up with different stores that sold lighter neutral colors. At the end of the day they were able to get some decent outfits- mostly picked out by Jake, but Lighter had managed to surprise him with his taste in fashion- which Jake approved of. Most of the stuff Jake got for Lighter were stuff that he would never get for himself. For example denim jackets and oversized hoodies, pants that fit comfortably but not too tight like skinny jeans, flannel shirts and some band shirts (which of course were of Jake's preference) and of course converse shoes. Jake had even gotten a vintage looking brown leather bomber jacket for Lighter which he though fit his aesthetic so much. Jake had come to a conclusion. Lighter's style was more of an old school 90's look. Jake had a giant smile on his face, having accomplished his goal of getting stuff that suited Lighter. "So what do you think about what we got so far? Pretty cool, yeah?" Jake nudged Lighter to the right playfully.

Jake laughed at Lighter's sudden playfulness. "Well as your boyfriend it's my job~" he said almost smugly. Then before he could return the push, he was pulled into Lighter's kiss. But Jake didn't let him go so easily. He pushed Lighter against the wall and kissed him softly but deeply. He slowly opened his eyes to meet Lighter's. There was something seductive in his eyes as he indulged in the kiss. He pulled away after a while, finally realizing that he lost control. He turned completely red. "A-anyways!" He squealed, feeling very aware in that moment that some people had turned and gave them dirty glares. "Let's just go- sorry for that-" Jake quickly gathered their stuff and took Lighter's hand, leading them towards the exit.
