Where Is Everyone?

  He was sort of enjoying Jake’s hand running through his hair. But what Jake had said sort of put a pause to everything. He furrowed his eyebrows together, pulling back from the embrace to look right up at Jake. “—A few hours?” He exclaimed, folding his arms across his chest. He swallowed before speaking again. “D-Dude! I’ve been here for like, three weeks!” Finn took a moment to examine the male’s features. Well, if Finn had to say, Jake was kind of really attractive in human form. Like, okay. Was that weird to say? Being his adoptive brother and all?

Jake blinked and furrowed his brow. "Yeah. A few hours. I got real tired so I found this place. Good thing I did. Who knows where I'd be if I hadn't found you!" The taller boy pouted a bit as Finn pulled away, occupying his arms by crossing them over his chest. "Three weeks? That seriously sucks, dude. Where've you been living?" He studied the boy with a certain interest, letting his eyes travel down the other's figure. Finn sure had been stringier in Ooo. Not that Jake was complaining about his new body, of course. Oh man. That was weird, wasn't it? Finn was just a kid. Not to mention his brother. Well, adopted brother anyways.

“What’s the deal with no one being honest anymore?”

"Lies make things easier. Definitely not so good for heroes, though."

  “Naaah, you’re a guy, wouldn’t it be a bit embarrassing to cry in front of a girl?”

"I won't cry. I never cry. Not in front of chicks, anyways."

  After Jake pulled back that first time, Finn crossed his arms over his chest, pouting a little bit. “These people are dumb, yo. I just wanna nap until we’re back.” Finn moved over a bit in the booth, so Jake had more room; but it wasn’t that long before he was pulled into another hug. Finn didn’t mind it. Jake’s hugs were the best, like he said before. He giggled a bit, finally relaxing (ever since he’s gotten to this place) under Jake’s hold. “How long have you been here, man?”

Jake chuckled and shook his head, glancing around the shop once more. "I know, man. How did we even get here? I mean... I don't remember anything other than waking up on my face in the sidewalk. I guess it isn't all bad though. I got this hot girl to- Nevermind." The taller boy hummed and brushed his hand through the other's hair, smiling to himself. It was nice to see his buddy again. "A few hours. You?"

  Aw, dude. Finn was so close to tears man, and Jake gave the best hugs on the planet. Well— his old planet; he hadn’t gotten many hugs on this one. Which was another reason why he so totally missed Jake— there weren’t any hugs here, man! What kind of sad wretched place was this where they didn’t give any flippin’ hugs?! Finn wrapped his around around Jake’s waist, his head burying into the male’s chest. “Dude, this place is so totally whacked up.” He exclaimed, his voice muffled by the fabric on Jake’s chest. “I’m losing it, man. I wanna go home.”

Jake smiled and looked down at his best friend, ruffling his hair before pulling back. Wow. Who knew Jake was so tall? Finn came up to the middle of his chest. He had to admit, it was kind of cute. Deciding he missed his friend a bit too much to end the hug just yet, he moved forward again, hugging the boy close to his chest. "I know. Somebody stepped on my foot and yelled at me! I mean, what did I do, y'know? Ooo can't be too far, right? It's okay. Don't lose it just yet, buddy. I'll get us out of here. Don't you worry."

  “I guess you haven’t heard the right song then!”

"Wanna show me?"

  “You’re right, how do you eat your lips? I think it’s half impossible. I mean there’s cannibalism but you don’t eat yourself so i guess it’s impossible..”

"Where I'm from, some guys are made out of candy, so they could eat themselves."

The name Jake was sort of what got him. Finn got a big eyed and he sort of lost his focus, everything else the other said kind of blurred away. It made total sense, dude! The hair, he taller than him part (stretchy dog abilities; it’s cool, yo), even the voice sounded kind of the same! That was wicked! Aw, man. Now he was gettin’ teary eyed, man. He wanted to run over there and hugs his best pal, but he couldn’t really move right. Ah, shit. All he could really do was sit there, looking at him as he blurted out, 

Jake furrowed his brow at the change of tone in the boy. "You okay, guy?" He asked, his voice slowed in confusion. Had he said something? Maybe his breath smelled. Oops. He was about to apologize when the boy said his name. "Finn?" He exclaimed, his face breaking out into a wide grin. The taller boy moved forward, wrapping the boy in his arms and grinning wider. "Aw, Finn. How'd you get here too? I've been walking around here forever, man."

  “I couldn’t sit there and watch that. I’d be disgusted. I’ll just take it as you disappear.”

"But what about your lips? How do your lips get eaten? I'm pretty sure that's impossible. The whole eating yourself thing."

  “Nope, i wouldn’t actually experiment it on myself. It’s a just a thought.”

"You know, you could get someone to do it. That'd be kind of sick though, man."

"Oh, I feel you on that. Some songs just get to me, you know? I don't think I've ever cried though."

“True. I mean, i never thought of it like that. Still, i’m curious.” 

"Yeah. I don't think it'd be too smart to try it. But hey, if you wanna bite yourself, go ahead. Good luck trying to reach your toes."

  Oh, some dude was walking towards him. He looked kind of puzzled. Intrigued was more like it, actually. Ah, Finn, maybe you should stop the.. “Ah! Uh, sorry.” He said after the male had come forth. He loosened the strings of his hoodie, pulling it back down to show his hair. This guy looked a lot like how Finn looked in this world. Just taller, and lighter hair. Probably more in fit, too. Hmph. Finn could probably take him. “—What’s up?” He asked, a warm smile plastered among his features. 

Jake tilted his head, taking a seat opposite of the other boy. "You don't mind do you? I was walking all day and my legs hurt." The former dog smiled, running a hand through his hair and studying the other. "I'm Jake, by the way. Do you know what this place is called?" He asked curiously, taking a look around the store. "I'm just trying to find my way around, you know? I have no idea where my home and I'm kind of stuck here. How about you? What's up, man?"

“If you eat yourself, do you get fatter or disappear?” 

"I think you'd be screaming because that kind of hurts, man."

Jake had been stumbling around this town for hours now. Where was he? Admittedly, he was a bit intimidated by it all. Usually, back in Ooo, he was in his element. Everything was just something Jake could beat up with Finn. Man, where was he anyways? Jake was starting to miss the little guy. Shaking these feelings off, he stepped into a small cafe, his eyes wandering the place before settling on the kid in the corner with his hoodie pulled over his head. "Is that how they drink around here? Weird." He commented, approaching the boy as his face twisted in curiosity. 

"Then you should leave, bro."
