Jake was actually pretty sure that his favorite part of this entire situation was that he wasn't aroused. Sure, it was really ungodly attractive to hear Dirk losing himself so plainly like this, but he wasn't uncomfortable in his shorts. Because he was taking care of Dirk, and this was all him right now. And that was all he wanted, was to make Dirk forget his illness, the worries that lead to it, and feel.

Of course he'd probably still excuse himself to the bathroom and take a multiple-meaning hot shower after he'd ensured that Dirk was spent and sleeping restfully. But then, and only then.
