earthangel3- Keeping it up! Keeping it up! Yeah, and you're right. Something big is going to happen. Pretty much, something big in every chapter from here on out. It seems that my plot just kind of snowballs into this huge THING that i've got to keep control of. If I go too fast I'm going to miss something, so baby steps, take things one at a time...
kikvws- Thanks and Drake plans to.

Chapter 7:
JJ was sitting out in his car the morning of October the 17th. He already knew that Drake was inside because he had seen Drake's car on the way into the parking lot. Now all JJ had to do was get out and walk into his office, acting like nothing happened.
But he couldn't.
Oh God. What happened last night? The scenario played itself over and over in JJ's mind, but he still could not get a grasp on reality. We were sitting on the couch, I leaned, he leaned, and then somewhere out of the blue I got the best kiss I've ever had! I don't understand! What did I do? What did HE do? For the first time, it wasn't me who started it. Oh God, maybe he just really missed me while I was sick? JJ rested his head on his arms that were clutching his steering wheel.
Who am I kidding? Nobody kisses like that as a 'welcome back' gesture. He smiled in spite of himself. When Drake said he made up for his looks, he REALLY meant it.
JJ decided to let Drake give him a clue about how to act. The ball was in Drake's court anyways, he was the one that initiated the whole incident. Maybe it was all this big fluke and he became possessed by a horny demon. That was it. What I wouldn't give to have the same demon kept away in a bottle somewhere for later use...
JJ turned off the ignition, opened the car door, grabbed his infamous thermos, and walked through the front door. Please give me a sign Drake.
oOoOoOoOoOo
He's going to hate me. He's going to be so angry that I kissed him last night. I can't do it. I can't face him.
Drake was in the break room pretending to muse over the bulletin board, while he was actually just buying time to think about what had happened the night before. I mean, I'm not even attracted to him! I have to tell him that it was just a weird mistake... You're an ass Drake! You KNOW you liked it! You sick pervert! Guys aren't for you. You would have known already by now. It isn't just because my partner's gay and good looking. DID I JUST THINK 'GOOD LOOKING'?!
"You all right there Drake?" Dee had just slid his way into the room and made his way to the pastry plate.
Drake whirled around to face him, beet red in the face. Can Dee tell there's something wrong? Can he tell I'm attracted to JJ? What do I do if he finds out what happened last night? Oh Jesus, this is like one never ending twilight zone!
Dee picked an especially sticky donut and walked over to Drake, "Don't tell Ryo I had this okay? He's been on my ass about eating right and he'd go bananas if he found out that I was scarfing sweets... Drake? I'm serious, is something wrong?" Dee looked genuinely worried now at the uneasy expression over his friend's face. Drake had never looked so pained in his life.
"No... It's fine," Drake meeped as he shook his head.
"Yeah, sure," Dee said sarcastically, "If you're just fine, then I'm in love with Rose."
"You better not be!" Ryo said cheerfully as he opened the door to the break room, "If that's the case, then the couch is going to be the only place... you'll... what have you got in your hand?"
Dee threw the pastry over his head and into the trash can. "What? I haven't got anything in my hand?"
"Were you eating a DONUT DEE?" Ryo shouted.
"No, not at all! I was just... handing it to Drake! Right Drake?" Dee cried pitifully.
"Was that true Drake?" Ryo asked in deadly whispers.
"No. Dee was stuffing his face before you walked in. That wasn't his first donut either! He had five or six before you interrupted him, you know, the ones with the sprinkles and the icing..." Drake stated with the most honest face he could muster.
"Drake! You mother fucker! I didn't Ryo!" Dee jumped up and attempted to tackle his lover, "It was just that one! I only had three bites! Please! I'm sorry!"
"That's IT, Dee! How many times have I told you to cut down! You just never listen," Ryo hissed as he pushed Dee away, "I'll just have to do this the hard way. You're not getting any tonight."
Dee crumbled on the spot, becoming this puddle of pathetic, love-sick pile of goo. "Ryo! Don't do this baby! That's just totally unfair. It was just one donut I swear! It'll never happen again."
"Well maybe this time you'll listen to me! I don't want you dying prematurely for something as stupid as clogged arteries!" Ryo straightened himself and left the room with a cloud over his head.
Dee twirled around to face Drake, "You little-"
Drake put both hands up in defense, "Maybe that will teach you to stop prying into my love life hmm?"
Dee's face turned from anger to curiosity in a heart beat, "Love life? You never mentioned that. How is it anyway? Dead as usual?"
"Mind your own fucking business," Drake cursed, "I told you to leave it alone."
"Well since you ruined my whole evening, I think I deserve an answer."
"Big deal, Dee. One night won't kill you."
"Are you kidding? One night is the matter of life or death! I can't get enough of him. You just wouldn't understand Drake, it's just so... so... utterly and completely fantastic. The things that Ryo can do if he puts his mind to it, yeah, completely fantastic," Dee finished as his eyes glazed over and he licked his lips.
For once Drake didn't snap back at Dee to keep his bedroom antics to himself. It was weird, but Drake felt like he knew a little of what Dee was talking about. The night before, when JJ had responded to his moment of insanity, it was one of the best make out sessions he ever had. That time he didn't have to be the dominant one, the one to push things further even through he started it. And the more he reflected on it, the more natural it felt to give the reins over to someone else for a bit, while he got the chance to enjoy the sensations flooding his body.
Of course Drake wouldn't admit that if he had a gun to his temple.
"Oh Drake! There you are!" JJ waved from the door, "Enough talking with the other lazy bums. We got work y'know?"
It was a second before Drake got his feet to listen to him. He made some funny sound, between assent and reluctance as he followed JJ out and down the hall. "Listen, JJ... about last night."
JJ turned around to face him, his hand already on the door handle to their office. "Yeah?"
"I...," Drake's whole resolve hit the floor. JJ just looked too adorable this morning and too content with himself for Drake to tell him a complete 'it meant nothing to me' lie. So, Drake settled with Plan B, the truth, "I'm just really confused. I never planned for that to happen, and now that it has I'm just... confused."
JJ's whole world lit up inside him. Drake didn't say that it meant nothing and didn't tell him to forget the whole incident! There was hope that, maybe, just maybe, something could work out. JJ would take anything at this moment. For the first time, my love could be mutual! And it is love! I know it is. This isn't just a rebound, it's the real thing, the real McCoy. Oh Lord, if I've ever deserved something, let it be him.
"I understand Drake," JJ beamed as he put his hand on Drake's shoulder, "But I really want to know how you feel. Even if last night was spontaneous, did you... like it?"
"Yeah, it had been awhile since I've done that with anyone," Drake whispered. He felt no reason to lie to JJ, because keeping his thoughts to himself wasn't an advantage and it appeared to be making JJ a very happy man. "But that doesn't mean I'm gay JJ. It... oh let's get in the office."
JJ pulled open the door and both officers stepped inside before shutting it with a snap.
"What were you going to say?" JJ pried.
"Just because I kissed you and liked it doesn't make me gay. It just means that I've been lonely for too long and anything seemed stimulating at the time."
Hurt flashed through JJ long enough for it to show on his face before he smiled again. "That's fine Drake. I'm sorry to have made you uncomfortable. It was stupid of me to think-"
Drake cut JJ off by grabbing his shoulders and forcefully kissing him again. If the first kiss had caught JJ off guard, this one had him totally blown away. Drake's eyes were squeezed tight in concentration but JJ's were wide open in astonishment. It was over as soon as it had begun, but vigorous enough to leave JJ's lips red and swollen. Drake took a step back.
"I... Sorry... that was-" Drake stammered.
But JJ had decided to take matters into his own hands. Reaching for a fist full of white collar, he pulled Drake back towards him for round two. Who gives a shit anymore? was the only thought JJ was able to comprehend while he circled his arms around Drake's waist to hold him in place. He just can't do that to me and suspect me not to act on it...
Drake was thinking along similar lines, I asked for it. He's got a right to return the favor since I've already done the same thing to him. TWICE! Heh, like I mind. This whole kissing thing with JJ just gets better and better. Resolutions and all previous thoughts just vanished as he drew JJ closer so that their torsos were crushed against each other. Ya see, Drake? It's not so bad. Just like kissing a girl... except JJ knows what he's doing. And it shows...
After a minute or so, both mutually pulled away with labored breathing. Drake leaned against the back of the door as JJ sat on his desk.
"So..."
"Yeah..."
"Right..."
"Um..."
"Maybe... maybe I could give this thing a shot, JJ."
"Really?"
"Yeah really. Just, let's not tell anyone about it yet okay? I'm still not quite sure about what I'm doing."
"Sure, whatever you want. And... uh... we'll take it as slow as you want, whenever you want."
"Thanks. It's going to take a lot of getting used to."
"No shit."
JJ and Drake laughed silently as Drake walked over to hug JJ tightly.
I don't know what the hell I'm doing, but at least it won't be dull!
A/N: YAYNESS! Drake and JJ are finally "together"! FUN FUN FUN! Next chapter is just an excuse for pages and pages of fluff, sap, and limes. I can't FUCKING WAIT!
LEAVE ME REVIEWS AND I'LL THROW IN EXTRA GROPING SCENES! ;-)
