Free for all, except you

John was having an awful day. He woke up late, spilled his breakfast on himself and missed the bus, but that was only the start of it. After he actually got to school he was picked on, shoved around, and his lunch was taken along with his locker being broken into, again. The football team beat him up yet again, and made him miss his bus home. So to the end of a long day, he had to make the long walk back home, sore, tired and only wanting to crawl into bed and sleep.

He almost didn't even want to get online to see what the surprise Dave had been hinting to him about, or even cuddle with Jake. John grimaced as his bag bumped his sore back. That wasn't true. He'd never pass up cuddles with Jake, Jake was the best at it and John would honestly be dumb as all shit to pass up prime cuddles with his boyfriend.

Jake was humming to himself as he finished his calculus homework. His senior year of high school was definitely his least favorite. He had seven classes and each teacher gave at least an hour's worth of homework every night. Some of it he could get done in a flash. Other subjects needed the full hour to complete.

He yawned as he leaned back and looked across the dining room table. Jade was silent (as she usually was) as she worked on a rough draft for her biology class. Despite being a freshman, being in all advanced placement classes gave her as much as homework as her brother.

"I will be so happy when this year is over." Jake stretched his arms above his head and cracked his shoulders. Jade snorted at him. "You'll be going to college at least. I have three more years of college." She huffed and tossed her pen aside. "It's only halfway through the year and I want to give up."

There was a loud and persistent knocking at the front door.

[midnightVigilante]

Jake groaned as he laid his head on the table. Jade rolled her eyes as she picked her pencil back up. "Let Gramps deal with it."

[solarOrigins]

The knocking continued, seemingly getting louder.

[midnightVigilante]

"GRANDPA. GET THE DOOR, WE'RE BUSY."

[solarOrigins]

The knocking stopped for a few moments before starting up again.

[midnightVigilante]

Jake sighed and got up as Jade growled in frustration. "I'll deal with it." He was quick to leave the dining room as his sister ranted about obnoxious people and doorbells. He didn't bother looking into the peephole before opening the door. "Yes?"

Dirk Strider leaned against the porch, adjusting his signature shades. "Sup, English" he smirked

[midnightVigilante]

Jake frowned at his best friend. "Is there something you need Dirk? I'm trying to finish my homework."

[solarOrigins]

"Take a minute to think about it Jake." Dirk smirked wider.

[midnightVigilante]

Jake yawned and rubbed his eyes. "I've been up since five thirty this morning Strider. Just tell me what you want."

[solarOrigins]

"And I've been up since seven Yesterday morning. Plus there's a time difference." Dirk shook his head. "And I'm the blonde one"

[midnightVigilante]

Jake froze as his eyes widened. "You're here." He was whispering as he reached out towards Dirk. "Oh my god. You're actually here." The older boy made an excited noise as he pulled his best friend into his arms. "DIRK! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS. YOU'RE HERE!" He squeezed the blonde tightly.

[solarOrigins]

"Touching" Dirk protested lightly.

[midnightVigilante]

Jake was practically bouncing as he kept Dirk close to him. "I can't believe you're really here." He placed a wet kiss on the blonde's cheek. "This is wonderful!"

[solarOrigins]

"Dude, you're touching me, you've got your slobber on me now, dude, this isn't cool"

[midnightVigilante]

Jake was silent as he let go.

[solarOrigins]

Dirk made a face as he straightened himself out. "Thank you. Sorry dude, I forgot you're big on the touching"

[midnightVigilante]

"I'm sorry," he mumbled. "I'm just excited to finally get to really see you."

[solarOrigins]

"Nah, dude, its cool. I should have expected it. I'm sorry for upsetting you" Dirk replied

[midnightVigilante]

"Did you come to visit?"

[solarOrigins]

"Nah, man, we moved up here" Dirk pointed across the street at a moving van. "Right across the street actually."

[midnightVigilante]

Jake perked back at up. "That's wonderful! I'll get to see you everyday!"

[solarOrigins]

"Yeah. Bro had to move up here for legal shit or something. Turns out our Dad was a raging shit bag and we have two other brothers." Dirk shrugged.
