3. Light
It was a genuinely gorgeous day. It was a touch warm, but ta nice cool breeze kept it comfortable; and in the park, the sunlight filtered perfectly through the curtain of leaves making it a perfect place to eat lunch or nap in the shade.
It was so perfect in fact that one employee of college humor decided to do just that (and another tagged along)... along with with, what seemed like, the rest of New York. The park wascrowded, however Jake had managed to find a nice secluded spot... He thought he was alone and that he had, for once, thrown Amir off his trail. One has to wonder if Jake actually, really, absolutely, literally considers thinking about the fact that Amir will never leave him alone. It is, as some may say, ridickydonk.
Jake was sitting comfortably in the tall grass, the soft blades of grass tickling his legs and lower back as he ate his sandwich. It was nearly silent save for the soft chattering of people outside his hidden spot. Silent, until...
"Yo, brotha, got any honey mustard my noogs are kinda dry."
Jake frowned, he closed his eyes and his fingers went through his sandwich with anger. 1...2...3...Must Be calm... 4...5...6... He turned his neck and Amir was sitting right next to him. God damn it. "Amir..." Jake whispered, voice heavy with fake passiveness, "What are you doing here?" Calm... 7...8...9...10...zen...
"I followed you." Amir answered like Jake was stupid, "Duh." he took a bite out of a chicken nugget.
Jake put his mutilated sandwich on top of it's bag, and wiped the mayonnaise and mustard off of his fingers. "Leave." he nearly growled, a demand not a request.
Amir frowned sadly, "No... Nonononono... I'll be good! I'll be good! I promise." the brunette begged, literally on his knees.
Jake sighed very deeply, "No, just fucking leave, I'm trying to enjoy my lunch." he looked back at Amir and glared.
Amir countered with puppy dog eyes, something Jake was never able to deny. The blond sighed again, "Fine, just be quiet."
Amir grinned like a happy child, "Ace!" he exclaimed then became silent just as he was instructed.
Jake went back to picking at his now broken sandwich and absentmindedly read the book he had spread out in the grass in front of him trying to forget Amir was even there, and he had done pretty well. Amir had been completely silent for a while.
Then Jake heard a snoring. He looked around Where the hell is Amir? He thought and looked down, Oh God, Amir was asleep curled around him, I'm not okay with this, he was having trouble convincing himself of this fact. At least he's not snoring really loud, more like kitten snores. Wait. What? God damn it, that isn't cute. Once again, Jake didn't believe himself.
Amir looked very serene and comfortable curled around his BBF, and Jake couldn't bring himself to wake him. He signed softly once more though not from frustration. He moved Amir slightly, then laid down next to him and was resigned from the silly denial for now. Amir immediately clung to him in his sleep.
Jake gave a tiny content grin, and placed a gentle kiss on Amir's forehead. Amir's face twitched in his sleep, and gripped tighter in way of response.
It really is a beautiful day. Jake thought and really hoped Amir wouldn't wake any time soon.
