Cold words

Jake walks into the room, with the sexy smile he always gives you, on his face.
Of course you don't tell him that his smile is quite attractive.
For that would be rather weird and damning to you.
He says
"Dirk.
You were talking in your sleep, it was all quite gibberish until i heard a name clearer than the night sky on a cold Tuesday."
And you panic a little,
What name?
WHOS name?
"What was the name I said Jake?"
He adverted his eyes and then muttered
"You said Dave.."
And your heart drops,
Your body becomes cold and you can't move.
"J-Jake...
Dave was my brother.."
Trying to clear this mess up won't do much for you,
But he looks back at you and says
"Dirk,
You were... Crying when you said his name.."
And you lose it.
Your hands cover and muffle the sobbing noises that you produce.
Jake sits down next to you and hugs you
Whispering sweet words,
"I love you Dirk,"
"It's going to be okay,"
And you believe it for a second.
Or at least  enough to tell the story of,
David
Strider.
