Jinxx disappeared before Jake could register what had just happened.

Jinxx had kissed him.

Jake had mixed feelings. He thought for all his life that he was straight. But...he felt something with Jinxx. Something that he had not felt in a long time.

He loved Jinxx, and he obviously felt the same way.

"Jinxx?" Jake called. No reply, but Jake could feel his presence.

"Jinxx, I know you're here. We need to talk." Jinxx stayed hidden.

"I...I like you. I...I don't know what else to say, Jinxx." Jake sat down on his bed and put his head in his hands.

Jake felt an arm around his shoulders, and turned to see Jinxx.

"I like you, too." Jinxx stared into Jake's brown eyes, pulling out the little details, like the small gold flecks.

"Can...can this work?" Jake asked.

"We can try." Jinxx smiled.

This time, Jake kissed first.
