" well, don't be so hard on yourself, ya are a joy to be around and I would love for ya two to get to know each other. Layla is a really good friend and she will love ya like I do. believe me there's nothing to be worried about, like I said we are family. " Jake pat her head before standing straight and walking to the fridge. " I will make dinner tonight, ya want pasta?. " to say he's a good cook is a lie but at least he try, their time together is valid and Jake took every opportunity he got to be home with her.

Jake step closer, leaning in to match her height. " Don't be silly, overstep?." he smiled wide. " Listen Theo, this is your home too as well as mine. we are family and whatever ya got going on here..." he pointed at her head playfully. " is wrong, I love ya like ya are my own kid and I will never think ya are a burden, if ya are uncomfortable I can ask my friend to leave. I want ya to feel welcome here. "

" sure, I don't know why we are talking about this like it's something serious." maybe it's because Jake keeps his contact list a secret, never told information about his relationship with other people especially to her.

" what's wrong?." he asked curiously, opening a bottle of water and Chug it all to wash the bitter taste in his mouth.

.... for Theo he will force himself to drink it. even tho it made him feel sick in the stomach. the taste of cinnamon is too much to handle.

what’s your damage. it’s something he’s never considered, but sitting here with theo, it’s something now he has to ponder over. there’s been so many things over the time that they’ve known each other. being the avatar of anubis certainly did not help.. or the fact that he works at a mortuary. but, as of recent, there’s been something eating away at him. sighing, he leans back to lay flat onto the bed, staring up at the ceiling.  ❛  that’s a good question, y’know. i guess.. everything right now is my damage. i’m tired. so.. so tired.  ❜  there’s exhaustion to his voice, the way his eyes droop nearly close, the slight pull downwards of his lips and how his brows furrow. he needed a break but, working with a literal egyptian deity.. it doesn’t work that way. suddenly, he looks to the side at theo.  ❛  what about you. what’s your damage?  ❜

He shrugs and picked one, it got stories behind it. Jake isn't so vocal about what he love and enjoy but his actions shows. " No, I got this one from my trip to germany, and that one from Istanbul." he pointed at the cap she's wearing so it must mean they are trinkets same as the others he collected. it's amusing how much he grew from a careless person who let things go to someone who searches for things to keep as memories.
