Jake had gone home in the interim, and his grandmother had fretted over him the moment she'd seen him walk through the door ("Jake, you look sick, are you okay?"). She took off her labcoat and fussed and sat him down on the couch, and he'd babbled about Dirk and how he had no idea what he was doing and what if this turned out really badly??
Jade had been honestly a little startled that her grandson had openly accepted solicitations from someone he'd only met the night before under the circumstances he had, but he was nearly twenty-one, and more than capable of making his own decisions. So she just sat with him and told him to go with what he wanted, but to be sure to text her or call her if anything went wrong. He'd leaned on her on the couch and she'd shifted, letting him flop into her lap where she scritched at his scalp like he were the family dog, and he'd actually taken a brief nap, there. When he woke up about an hour later Jade was gone, as was her lab coat, which meant she'd gone back to work, and he was under his favorite blue fleece from his bedroom and there was a movie playing on the television.
Gosh, he had such a wonderful grandmother.
He'd watched the last half hour of the movie on the screen, curled up on the couch like a child home from school on a sick day, and then he'd gone to take a shower and make himself presentable.
When Dirk's text buzzed his phone promptly at eight o'clock, Jake was confident enough to respond before he put his shoes on and grabbed his keys. He sought Jade out before he left, and kissed her on the cheek. She wolf-whistled at him on his way out and he gave her the finger.
