jacob hackerman i adore you so much

Jake: I cannot go without telling you.

The moment Jake came back online, MC felt like he was gonna say something important. This is exactly what LadyLotus the fortune teller in the dark site told them.

There is a person in your life to whom you are very important. But something unsaid is still between you.

MC: Without telling me what?

With bated breath and nervous mind, MC is waiting for Jake to tell them what Jake is going to tell them. They're worried that there's another thing Jake has kept secret that may endanger his life. Or maybe his condition is actually too dire at the moment so He feels like he needs to say this before it's too late. Something's been weighing his mind. And MC can feel it.

Jake: Something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time.

Jake knows this is something he has kept bottled up inside. There was a time when this was bearable for him, but as of late, many times these feelings are uncontrollable. He can no longer evade it, and he doesn't want to. MC showed him light in his darkest world. For once, he's happy. For once, he doesn't need to fight alone. He needs MC, he wants MC, and he doesn't want to lose MC.

MC: What do you want to tell me?

MC had a feeling about what Jake's going to say, but also scared. Scared that Jake is going to say what they feared he would. Because then their feelings will never be able to be contained anymore, and their hearts will be forever entwined, just like the destiny who brought them together. But strangely, MC doesn't want to tell Jake not to say it. They know that whatever risk they're taking, they're willing to take it. As long as it's with Jake. And maybe. Just maybe. Their feelings are already uncontainable.

Jake: MC I love you.

Jake has finally said it. All that he's feeling can only form into this thing he had never felt before in his life. Is this what they call love? But by this time, he knows. It is love. And he no longer wants to deny it. And it's important to him that this feeling isn't left unsaid. After all, this is what he wants and told MC before. He told them he didn't want anything to be unsaid between him and MC. He felt relieved but now that he said it, he felt strange. He could've told them about this a long time ago. Why now, Jake? Why do you have to burden them now with your feelings? Now, when you can't even assure yourself that you will get through this problem unscathed. When your pursuers are outside this very mine. Ready to capture you at any moment. When you have no solution yet on how to escape. Why, Jake? Jake could only think of one reason why. He needs to know how they feel. Or at least to tell them how he loves them. At the same time he wanted to make sure MC doesn't feel like they're alone in this. They're always together. Together in his heart too.

MC read what Jake said and felt overwhelmed by those three words. It shouldn't have taken them by surprise but actually reading those words on their screen gave a little shock to them. They squealed a bit. After all this time, finally Jake summoned his courage to tell them how he feels. What are they supposed to say back? Do they even have to respond? MC could choose not to say anything. Telling Jake how they feel might only put more burden on him. But is this what they want? When Jake sincerely offered his feelings, is this what they deeply wanna do? After a long wrestling in their minds, contemplations that felt like hours but actually only happened in split seconds, MC finally knew what to do. No they're not going to hold back. They're not going to think it's gonna be a burden for Jake to tell him how they feel. Jake said he doesn't want anything to be unsaid between them. And that is what MC wants too. The moment MC took Jake's call and took Hannah's destiny in their hands, together with Jake they knew they were destined to be. And as they said before, they will go to the very end with Jake. They will. As bittersweet as this is, they will carry on. And so MC replied,

MC: I love you too, Jake

Jake read this and he felt enormous joy. It was just a simple confirmation. Jake has known this for quite some time now. Known that MC also shares the feelings he has. But to actually see MC typing it out. To actually see it on his screen right now, at this very dire moment, Jake felt like his heart leapt to his throat. If he wasn't sure about this then, he is sure about this now. His feelings are being reciprocated. And now this confirmation, this simple confirmation, has given birth to a sensational feeling. A resolution. If he was already feeling desperate then, he's more desperate now to survive and elude his pursuers. He's determined. There's no way after this confirmation of love between him and MC that he cannot overcome this. He will survive this and find a way out. To be safe again. He won't let himself be captured or die. He's sure. Because that will separate him from MC. And he doesn't want that the most.

Good luck, Jake. I know you can do it.

What MC said to him minutes ago crossed his mind and stayed. It encourages him. And with that he summoned all of his focus, concentrating towards one goal. One goal. To safely go out of this mine, and into a safe hiding place. And to go back to MC.

AT ALL COST.

Note from author:

Hi friends and Duskwood Jake lovers! To me you're all sweet and precious! I'm Misha and this is shyly my very first fan fiction i ever wrote. Arghh I'm so shy right now tbh. I never tried writing one in my whole life but here I am. I guess Jake has given me much love and courage. The moment i get to know him he touches my heart so dearly, and I will never be the same again.

I wrote this because i was deeply hurt by the ending Everbyte gave us in Duskwood. And i couldn't move on from it. And I don't think I want to. ;) So i wrote this to give a perspective on how Jake and MC might be feeling in our last moment with him, and believing Jake who would wanna protect MC, he wouldn't want it to end like this. So let's trust that Jake will be back to us. Especially when there are so many people out there who love Jake. #IAmJake hehe. Also, remember what appeared on the ending screen, "Everything is going to be fine in the end. If it's not fine it's not the end." With this clue left by Everbyte i hope this means we're gonna see Jake again.😉

Thank you so much for reading this, and I hope you're having fun reading this as much as i had fun writing this. I'm open to any comments and to anyone who would want me to follow them and read their works.

A nice little McDickerman piece I made for @lifeisabouttogetstranger for our discord Secret Santa! Really worked hard on this for them ~

There are 2 canon queer characters in LiS, T W O

LiS 2 has twice that, and several other queer coded characters
