Freddie is the one to get him. Not Cook. Freddie will take care of him, call the cab and hold his hand the whole way, stroke his hair until he stops shaking. They even have a very special secret code language- they use it when they are talking about Cook when they have to stop him from climbing into windows he really shouldn't climb through when he staggers up to some bloke completely shitfaced and narrows his eyes and says something incredibly stupid and Freddie is the one who ends up with the bloody nose. Freddie is the one who says, JJ, just say no. But JJ still waits for Cook. And why?
Well, Cook, his hands are always rough, not like JJ (his mother makes him moisturize). And Cook's hands are big, and there's a certain way they feel when they are tossed around his shoulders when they laugh when it's hot outside and getting late when they've had entirely too much to drink. JJ doesn't get it, but Cook's hands are not like Freddie's when Freddie helps him out of the cab when he says, JJ, you OK? And he doesn't get it but maybe...
Maybe it has to do with that one time, yeah, last summer. JJ, you kissed a girl yet? Um, not as... not as such. C'mere you wanker, like this. Wh-what? I d-don't- this isn't really. What? Well, appropriate. Mmm, as such? Er, well, yeah, as such. Well, fuck it. I can't just... what does that evenmean, Cook, you- mmph!
And maybe that's why, maybe-
Maybe not.
