It's Okay - Jake X Dean

Reality slapped me in the face when I finally reached the right place. Ragged breaths and small groans of pain hit my ears before I even turned the corner into the alley. Those sounds followed Jake around whether he liked it or not, all the time. It was the price he had to pay for being a popular, strong, charisma filled leader with a perfect reputation. In my eyes, he IS perfect.

Speakign of my eyes, they fall on Jake sitting on the floor, his legs stretched out, leaning against a dirty wall. My hands clenched into fists. The Jake I know doesn't belong on the ground like that. He belongs on a pedestal, admired by all. I've always wanted to tell him that.

"JAKE!" I run forward, every bit of my emotionless facade dripping away. He glanced up at me and offered a tired grin, but it only made my stomach feel worse. 

This idiot! How can he be smiling right now? Where is his sense of self-preservation? Where is his selfishness? Kenny will be fine if he leaves the Union now. We'll work something out, we always do. But this is draining a happy, spirited boy into nothing.

"Dean, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so upset?" he asks, only adding to my aggravation. Putting my hands under his arms, I forced him to stand before slamming him against the wall, furious.

"JAKE JI, WHAT THE HELL? Look at you! Do you see how injured you are? How are you still SMILING? Damnit, I told you that I'll always be there to help, and yet-" My words get caught up in my throat when his hand lifts up to brush across my lips. 

THIS LITTLE-

Jake Ji POV

I gaze at Dean with all the love I can put into a look...they can say more than words ever can. My body feels like shit, but the headache, the annoyance, the anger...it all melted away the second Dean was here. His distressed expression hurt me...I don't want to see my love in pain. I can't tell what's bothering him though, until he says it right to me.

"STOP getting hurt for stupid reasons! ASK ME for help! Ask Eunchan! Ask SOMEONE! You're betraying Kenny and you're pushing me away. You're not fixing anything and it would hurt less if you trusted us! I'd rather get my ass kicked a million times than leave you on your own, Jake! Don't you ever think about how I feel? I lo-" Finally, he got flustered and stopped. Suddenly, a pulled muscle and fractured bones didn't seem so bad anymore. A smirk came across my lips as I used my remaining strength to switch our positions so that HIS back was against the wall, and MY arms caged his figure.

"Adorable. You're sweet, Dean, you really are. Don't take it personally, I can't watch you so sad. I'll get better, I promise...just as long as you do one thing." Dean tilted his head, silently asking me what it was.

Cute...

"Kiss me." Dean looked surprised for a moment, before sighing and smirking. He'd been waiting for this. I leaned in, then all of a sudden, I felt a hand.

"AFTER you GET YOUR ASS TO A HOSPITAL YOU LITTLE SHIT." The next moment I was on my ass, getting dragged by the collar to the hospital, which was thankfully not too far from here. I laughed, not expecting anything less from Dean. He'd always worry about me. But that was only a POSTPONED kiss, not a cancelled one. I took that as a good sign.

-At The Hospital-

"Can I get that kiss now?" I asked, feeling a bit brave despite the fact that I was laying on a hospital bed. Dean chuckled, and as he moved closer, I noticed the red tinge in his eyes.

Oh, Dean...

I cupped his cheeks and pulled closer. The space between us closed, and it was the most euphoric, beautiful feeling I've ever felt. No one told me lips could be so soft, so gentle and sweet, like Dean's. 

"Mmm...oh Jesus, don't bite," he whispered when I pressed against his lower lip. I smirked.

"Then let me in." After a few moments, his mouth finally gave me entrance. God, words could never explain how much I loved the feelings that flooded my brain as I slipped my tongue in. 

God, what the hell am I doing...how do I deserve this...This isn't okay, not after what happened to Kenny. I couldn't keep his happiness intact. Then I joined the Union, and I couldn't keep Dean's happiness intact. Now he has to fight alongside me, and he does it so loyally even though it must suck.

I don't deserve this happiness.

Every inch of my body screamed in protest when I pulled away and leaned back into the bed, and Dean let out a tiny, indignant noise that almost made me go right back to kissing him. 

But I can't. I don't believe I get to relish in my own desires when I've been hurting those I care about because of my bad decision making. And yet...when I look into Dean's dazed, star filled eyes(where are the stars coming from?), I feel like everything's going to be okay.

"Yeah...everything will be okay," he says sweetly. God, he read my mind.

"Okay." My muscles worked despite their soreness and I lifted my tired body up, to Dean's comforting embrace. He was my refuge, my home. He was there for me and Kenny. 

Kenny...everything will be okay.

And I captured his lips again.

Bonus

Kenny Ji POV

Jesus, these kids are so cute. Leaving the hospital door wide open while making out. Guess Dean forgot I'm registered here too. 

I always knew those two were gay as fuck for each other. I'm so proud of my brother. And my likely brother-in-law now. 

I know that Jake always blamed himself for what happened to me. But he doesn't have to feel that way. I'm more than happy with my new music production career. Soccer would've been nice, but hey, the whole leg injury incident was on me for getting involved with Manwol in the first place. Jake doesn't need to, nor does he deserve to blame himself for my circumstances. And I hope that one day, preferably this year or next, he'll learn to leave the Union. Leave the bloody fights and distance from his friends and I in the past.

I looked back into the hospital room. Dean's tongue was on Jake's neck.

Oh, gross. That's my cue to leave.

I smiled to myself as I shut the door for them, quietly so that I wouldn't snap them out of their little world.

I'm happy, Jake. It's okay. Be happy too.
