"The Jock and The Nerd always get together." DIRKJAKE HIGHSCHOOL AU

"HEY!"

It was like the whole world had become a lot brighter in seconds. Soft lips yearning for each other soon became tongues intertwining, hands travel quickly to reach their destination and small moans leave cheeks red. At least that's what Dirk wished it was - the more appealing concept he tends to think about. Often.

In reality, it was a long, passionate kiss, but no matter how long it was, it ended shortly. Their lips did not move, they stayed still and cherished what was given. Jake hesitated on pulling away, but did so, clearly more than embarrassed, hence the state of the kiss. The freckles on his cheeks grew blurred behind a rosy blush.

"You're my, err, first kiss..." Jake mumbled, hands up his neck to rub it sheepishly. Then his eyes widened, "WITH A BOY! Not.. my.. er.. I'm not that lame, haha..."

Dirk's jaw was already dropped to the floor from the kiss, but he slowly pulled it off the ground and closed his mouth,  smiling hard enough to make the skin next to his eyes crinkle. He laughed, squeezing Jake's thigh lightly and making his gasp gently. They stared into each other's eyes, goofy smiles plastering their faces.

"Jake? Dirk?" A soft, high-pitched voice questioned behind Jake.

Dirk looked up, eyes widening behind his sunglasses. His hand stayed put on Jake's thigh protectively as he eyed the girl, his leg jumping anxiously as his heel was airborne. The green-eyed goofball turned his body, leaving empty space between the boys which Dirk eagerly filled, placing an arm around the smaller boy's shoulders. Jake jumped lightly but didn't protest.

"Jane, I..." His accent was thick as he was caught off-guard by the girl he left broken-hearted.

"No, I don't want to hear it." She raised both hands, an angry fire in her eyes. "Firstly, you lead me on like that, then you break my heart and rub your overfriendly 'bro' friendship with Dirk all in my face! Do you know how much that hurt? You moved on instantly and didn't think twice about me!" There were no tears, just a flushed face, and angry eyebrows, but it still made Jake weak; his shoulders hunched up defensively.

"HEY! Leave Jake alone. He's apologized, he's paid the price for A LOT MORE than just fucking with you. He's sorry, okay? HE'S BROKEN ENOUGH RIGHT NOW AND THAT'S PARTLY BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID TO YOU. Just because you don't see him enough to watch him suffer, doesn't mean he isn't." Dirk snapped at the short girl, who's tough expression quivered.

"Ho-ho. Of course, you're going to stick up for your new lover boy because he hasn't wronged you." Jane spoke softly, yet her words were as sharp as knives. "I liked him for years, Dirk. I bet you knew WEEKS before he told me the truth that he was playing me, didn't you? But a boy you met a week before meant more to you than YEARS of our friendship? You're desperate enough to take ANY opportunity at taking someone's man, even if it means hurting your best friend." Jane cried, tears welling up in her eyes.

Dirk was uncomfortable. His throat was dry. Is Jane right? Of course not.

"I.. Jane. I didn't plan on falling for Jake, okay? He was also my best friend and it was nice to have another dude in the group so... so we clicked. I wanted to be there for him and show him that he didn't have to hang out with those snobs in his sports club and he could be a normal kid just like us." Dirk said calmly, eyes darting at Jake nervously as he felt a hand snaked and intertwine with his own appreciatively. Then Jane spotted their fond glares.

[warning; homophobia; skip if triggering]

"Yeah right. You're a lonely, PATHETIC gay boy who stole my chance at happiness because it's "hard to find a good boyfriend these days!" WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE INTO GIRLS LIKE EVERY OTHER NORMAL GUY?" Jane shouted. Then she stepped back, placing a hand over her mouth in shock. Dirk took a deep breath.

[end; summary;  Jane's pissed off, wishes Dirk was straight so he wouldn't date Jake]

"I-- I'm so sorry, I didn't mean--" Jane fumbled her words.

"If you didn't mean it, you wouldn't say it. Now fuck off." Dirk cussed loudly, squeezing Jake's hand tight out of frustration.

Anger bubbled inside the blond, his eyebrows were furrowed as his eyes followed the ashamed girl as she trudged off, unsure how to feel entirely. He swore to himself that if she brought him a cake with "I'm sorry" in red icing, he'll suffocate her in it. 

Jake looked at him, swallowing hard. He wrapped his arms around the boy lovingly, who slowly returned the favor. They sat there, holding each other close for what felt like days, weeks, months, even years. An eternity that couldn't make up for the constant hurt Dirk feels whenever he makes prolonged eye contact with a man. It took the blond years to not feel completely ashamed by his sexuality and it feels like the shame he buried away has just been dug up by some hormonal teenager that didn't get to date the boy she wanted.

She was right though, wasn't she? Jane had liked Jake since 6th grade and Dirk respected that, Jake was probably the straightest boy ever anyway. Now after Jake has disrespect Jane completely, Dirk's kissing him? But he knows now why Jake did it, it was a stupid mistake that went to far! He was honest too, right?

"Let's go home, Jake." Dirk mustered up a smile to keep the smaller boy content.

They rose up, hands linked together. Leaving behind the bench they shared their first kiss on.
