A/N: The sequel to my other Jak and Daxter story, The Expected Answer. More yaoi of course.

Thanks go out to all my reviewers. I love you all!

Disclaimer: I still don't own the characters. Do you really think I would be sitting typing FANfiction if I did? This would all be included in the actual game.

A month or so had passed since the evening on the rooftops. Jak's emotions were slowly eating away at him. Thankfully, only Daxter seemed to notice.

It was Hell for Jak to be in the same room as Torn so every chance he got, the blond elf was out on missions or exploring the city on stolen zoomers. Or just plain avoiding the older elf.

Now, however there was no escape for Jak. At least, none without looking suspicious. Daxter had been dragged off to the kitchen by Tess (though he didn't seem to be putting up much of a fight…). Jak should have been fine anyway. Both Samos' were hanging around but they had left a while ago, bickering over how the younger version should take care of him self.

Now Jak was all alone with Torn, who was explaining another mission to Jak. Jak was becoming increasingly nervous.

"Jak, are you even listening to me?" Torn snapped impatiently.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm listening," Jak murmured distractedly, trying to focus on the map in front of him.

"For some reason, I don't believe that," Torn growled. "Look at me and tell me what I just said."

Jak looked up at the taller elf and in that instant lost the last of his self-control. He threw his arms around Torn and pulled him down, so close they were almost kissing.

"I love you," Jak murmured and before the stunned elf had time to reply, Jak had closed the tiny gap and was kissing him.

Jak was putting all his pent up emotions, all the passion, the love he felt for Torn into the single kiss. Torn stood there, shocked until he realised fully what was happening and what might happen because of it.

He shoved Jak off him so the blond fell back and landed on the floor. Torn crouched down to his level.

"You idiot!" he growled. "Do you have any idea of what could have happened to s, to you if we were seen?"

Jak wouldn't look at Torn but the tattooed elf could see the silent tears making their way down Jak's face.

"I'm sorry Jak. Really, I am but this cannot happen," Torn said in a softer voice. Jak finally looked at Torn. "I've lived in this city far longer than you have. Long enough to know what happened to the last person like us when he was found out."

"What happened?" Jak's voice was shaky.

Torn said nothing but opened a drawer and pulled put a newspaper dated a few years before Jak had arrived in Haven City. He handed it to Jak and watched as Jak's eyes widened and his face paled at the vivid description of what had happened. The 'disgusting freak of nature' that had been the homosexual elf had been tortured and beaten to within an inch of his life and was then thrown outside the city walls for the metal heads. Not much was found of his remains.

"I don't want this to happen to you," Torn said softly.

"Jak stood up.

"I understand. I'm sorry I-" he was cut off as Torn kissed him chastely on the lips. The older elf pulled away as quickly as possible, ignoring Jak's sounds of protest. Jak placed a hand on his arm.

"No more Jak. I shouldn't have even done that," Torn said. "Now, back to the mission at hand."

Jak nodded and listened as Torn explained the mission. Soon, Daxter walked back in and hopped back on to his friends shoulder. Tess was still in the kitchen cleaning up after the ottsel.

Both Jak and Torn acted as if nothing had happened but before Jak left to complete the mission he turned and gave Torn a little smile.

Daxter noticed Jak was happier and realised something must have happened between him and Torn. The little ottsel was glad something had happened because he had been getting worried about his friend.

Jak was happier because he knew Torn loved him back and he also knew the reason they couldn't be together. He was sad they couldn't be together but for now he was content just to know that his feelings were returned.

Torn seemed a little happier as well but it wasn't noticeable to anyone except Jak. The two would share secret looks when they could and stand a little closer together when they were alone but they kept their self-control.

A/N: and there's the sequel. I hope you like it. I'm not too happy with the ending myself. I'll have to edit it and revise it later when my plot bunny Crowley decides he's found a better way to end it with more torturing the characters. Cruel little demon bunny isn't he? Anyway, there is another sequel in my head. This is probably going to turn into some big story arc. I have no problem with that coz there needs to be more Jak/Torn on the Internet! And then there's the completely unrelated other story on my disc that I really should type up…but I'll do that later on Friday night at about 2:30am when the typo demon has come out to play.

Review please! The Plot Bunnies and me will be very grateful! And they won't have to run away to others, like my friends and their voices won't hurt them.
