This is a generic Jakepost to reply to. Because the meme post was all Jake and has some inconceivable amount of comments now so it doesn't like to load. Have at, my lovelies.

Something like twenty minutes later it was getting late for Jane, and she bid Jake goodnight and told him to tend to his sick boyfriend (for which he was, to his credit, quick to correct her on). She tutted something like "I'm sure," and shot him a few emoticon hearts before she signed off, and Jake stayed smiling at the screen for a moment before he turned in his rolling chair.

He nearly jumped out of his skin to see Dirk awake and smiling like that.

"Good heavens, you gave me a fright. How are you feeling?"

Jake stood and padded across the room to sit on the edge of the bed beside Dirk, brushing his hair out of his face and leaving his hand there to check his temperature, gauging it inexactly against his own. "Don't move, then. It's better for you to just take it easy."

"At the very least until your fever has broken," Jake answered easily, leaning down to catch his lips. "If I had my way, though... Hmm, probably forever."

He stayed, and kissed him gently for a long time before he pulled away enough to level him with a lidded, sated smile. "If I thought you'd say yes, I probably would." Wow, he sure was feeling honest tonight.

It was a touch bittersweet, the way Jake knew he wasn't aware of what he was saying. He closed his eyes again and leaned forward to press a lingering kiss to his lips, threading his hands backward into Dirk's wild mess of styled hair and lean on him just barely at the shoulders. "I only wish," he said softly.

"Mm, let me sit differently. I'll get a hell of a crick in my neck if I let you fall asleep holding me here like this." He shifted, worming his way under the blankets with Dirk and drawing him into his arms. That was better, anyway.

If anything, Jake's arms encircled Dirk tighter when he drifted off again. He peppered little kisses all around what of him he could reach with his lips without moving them too much, and then settled to watch his sleeping form in silence. It probably wasn't long before he drifted off some, himself.
