another story idea firesonic152 and i hashed out via discord, wherein Jack has some anger issues and Gabe gets a kick out of it.
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
bro we should do a wrong number meetcute
i can't think of what the hilarious out of context first text should be though
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
hmmm...
one of them ranting about annoying customers
or a drnk text?
something really odd?
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
or a super intense threat XDD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
omg XD
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack being like "i swear to fucking christ you better sleep with one eye open for the rest of your short life because i am not going to rest until you're dead"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack sending this crazy angry text with an insanely over the top and specific bloody threat and gabe sending back 'not the guy your looking for, but i'm totally using that for my band's next song, thx'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
XDDDDD
"unless i am the guy you're looking for in which case i must ask why"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
lol
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
WHO WAS JACK THREATENING THOUGH
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
gabe waiting a while before Jack texts back again, and when it comes thru it's just 'is this the jackass from upstairs who keeps coming back drunk at 3 am and climbed the fucking fire escape last night and crashed through my window thinking my apartment was his buddy's next floor up and left a half eaten pan of brownies and a bunch of unwashed dishes as an apology because that was NOT a fun situation to come home to after pulling a double'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHAHAHA
gabe is like "wow i sound like a real asshole"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
'if you're not him then send me a pic so i can go kick his roomamate's ass into next week for giving me the wrong fucking number'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOLL
gabe is like "well considering you sound like a crazy axe murderer, i'm not sure i want you to have my face"
"send me yours first ;)"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
GABE DON'T FLIRT WITHT HE CRAZY AXE MURDERER
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack replies "I JUST POURED OUT MY LIFE STORY TO YOU ASSHOLE"
Lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack is like, super reluctant to do it and it turns out that he already has those gnarly scars
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
ahhhhhh
he prefaces the picture with "i promise it's not as bad as it looks"
gabe is ??
and then jack sends a picture finally (after taking ages to find a marginally okay selfie) and gabe is !!!
"bro you didn't tell me you were hot"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
the little typing dots show up and stop a few times before Jack's next message comes through: 'i swear to GOD you had better not be that littl punk'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHAHA
gabe sends a picture back and jack is just JESUS CHRIST
"so what's the verdict, axe murderer. can i keep my head"
"man i'd gladly GIVE you head"
"i mean. uh"
"shit"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack
JACK
you fucking
T Y P E D
that to him
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHAHA
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Gabe: moving a bit fast there, sunshine. you wanna buy a guy dinner first?
Jack doesn't know how to react to being called Sunshine
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
he sets teh phone down very carefully, as if it might bite. he tries to go about cleaning up his kitchen, but he keeps glancing at it.
the guy who isn't the little punk HAD to have been fucking with him. right? RIGHT??
twenty minutes later, Jack decides on a response: 'are you fucking with me?'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOL JACK
YOU ARE OPENING YOURSELF UP TO SO MANY REPLIES
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
i couldn't pick one to send
spoiled for choice, there
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
gabe is like "do you want me to be fucking you"
"*with you"
jack is like "FUCK YOU YOU DID THAT ON PURPOSE"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
gabe just sends back a winky face
gabe stop flirting with an axe murderer
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack too frustrated to continue, thinking he'll drop it now, clean up a bit, and try again later when maybe he can manage to flirt his way into meeting this guy at a bar or something. 'gotta go clean my kitchen' he nearly chokes when the reply text comes back: 'what are you wearing?'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
OMG
jack replies "asshole i already sent you a pic"
"also i don't even know your name"
"gabe"
"after all that fuss about the picture you're just giving me your name??"
"i mean yeah you already know what i look like. might as well"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack lists him as 'asshole' in his contacts
like, all of Jack's contacts are named by insults--his manager is dickhead, the apartment complex office is cocksuckers, even his friends are things like nutjob and psycho and UNHOLY TERROR. the only normal one is Mom.
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LMAO
jack finally grumblingly is like "i'm wearing sweatpants jesus"
"JUST sweatpants?"
"you're pushing it"
omg yay this is becoming one where jack's anger outweighs his thirst
i'm excited
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
Jack is like 'i literally JUST told you i just got home from working a double. i'm in last week's undone laundry and too many hours' worth of sweat and grime.' he has a moment of doubt after sending it, thinking that he might have just blown his chance of getting laid, but he's too tired and pissed off to really care. he can barely believe the next text that comes through.
'dirty boy, huh? i don't mind filthy.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
HAHAHA
GABE IS TRYING SO HARD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
scars look good. X'D
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack is like "if i send you another pic will you leave me alone for the night"
gabe eventually gets a nice tiddy pic out of jack lol
and by that i mean the tits are nice but the camera work is lazy and annoyed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
or, Jack sends what would have been a dick pick if he hadn't purposefully censored the important bits with a single finger salute
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOLL
gabriel's so hyped about this new daydream material
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
gabe sends him a selfie doing the nice gesture :ok_hand: but held up to his mouth with an expression to make it obscenely suggestive
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
lmsncsdckjnc
and he's casually shirtless, though the picture doesn't focus on it
jack finds himself staring at it more than necessary
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack laughs shortly, a bit charmed in spite of himself
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
jack puts the phone down, kinda determined not to talk to gabe anymore. but the very next day something annoying happens at work and he immediately yells at gabe about it.
gabe keeps up with all the flirty innuendos but he's actually nice to talk to
jack can rant his heart out and gabe doesn't try to tell him what to do or anything, just makes jokes and shit out of it that actually make jack feel better
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Jack in a pissy mood one day and after he's done ranting about whatever petty shit happened to him, he lays into Gabe like 'why the fuck is it always me bitching about everything don't you have some complaints? you don't say shit about yourself asshole.' he has to wait just a bit for an answer, which is unusual, and he's startled when it arrives.
'i want to meet you.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
hhhhhhhhh
jack is like oh god oh no
"however angry you think i am over text, i can guarantee i am a million times more angry in person"
gabe's like "that's hot"
jack's like "NO"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
i am vengeance!
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
gabe's like "come onnnn didn't you promise to murder me"
"how you gonna do that if you don't meet me"
"trust me asshole i can think of plenty of ways"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Gabe being all 'at least give me something else to work with aside from that one cockup of a dick pic you sent. my imagination's running out of fuel.'
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
does gabe finally just like show up at jack's job
LOL
FIRST MORE AWKWARD SEXTING
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
what if they just start sexting first
XD
yeah
but like. actual sexting, rather than just teasing pics.
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
NOW JACK SENDS THE TIT PIC
he's like at work and just kinda pulls the collar of his shirt away and snaps a pic real quick
gabe is like holy shit i'm actually thankful for your shitty camerawork bc now i know for sure those are real
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
XD
gabe getting jack so worked up at work that jack has to go duck into the men's room or a supply closet or something
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
LOL the image of jack pissed off as hell that he's turned on and angrily jerking off between yelling at gabe via text
in a freaking closet or whatever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
jack holding the phone in one hand, his dick in the other, furiously pumping and even more furiously cursing gabe's name and while he's at it accidentally calling gabe in the middle of his tirade
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHHH
gabe picks up and just hears a series of increasingly loud and creative curses
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
towards the end of it, Gabe finally breaks radio silence with something like 'you've got a sexy voice' and Jack, immediately comes, and after a startled moment that ruins the relief, he absolutely tears into Gabe for having been eavesdropping
Gabe just laughs, and the sound is so warm and rich that it cuts straight through Jack's anger, making him shiver, and if he hadn't just jerked off, he knows he'd be halfway ready to just after that
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
AHHH jack you angry thirsty bitch
he growls "fuck you asshole you'd better make this worth my while"
gabriel hums and says "well i was thinking about you and-"
jack cuts him off "LATER OH MY GOD YOU FUCK I'M AT WORK"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/26/2017
Gabe laughs again, that wonderful, damnable sound. 'working hard, Sunshine?'
The noise Jack makes is priceless and Gabriel is doubled over with laughter as Jack hangs up on him
firesonic152 - 10/26/2017
eeeeeee
jack kicks the wall hard enough to dent and hates that he's thinking about it still
gabe texts jack later that night like "so you in bed?"
jack's like "no dick i'm in my kitchen microwaving shitty leftovers"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe why are you putting up with this abuse? XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
because jack is hilarious to fuck with AND has amazing tits
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
the tits again. damn them. they're too powerful.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yep
jack is like "what the fuck would you have done if i wasn't gay"
gabe's like "well probably keep teasing you until you saw the light"
"you're a cocky motherfucker aren't you"
"i got all the cock in the world for you sweetheart <33"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg XD <3<3<3 A+
'i fucking hate you, you know that right?'
'you big softie.'
'i mean it cockbite you're a fucking annoyance. now are you gonna show me your dick or not?'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL JACKIE
gabe sends a picture and jack is like "jesus christ. that's not a dick that's a weapon. you were the murderer all along."
gabe is like "OMG jack did you just make a JOKE"
jack, furiously lubing his fingers: fuck off you dickfaced piece of fuck
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
under the incredibly thin pretense that it's easier to talk than text while they do this (as if they haven't managed before) Jack calls Gabe and demands they use speakerphone
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heheheheee
gabe is obscenely good at dirty talking, jack just kinda groans curses and tells gabe to shut the fuck up
he's got four fingers in his ass and gabriel telling him how good he is, how sexy he sounds, so on and so on- and jack finally moans gabe's name
he's never once said it before
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
when Gabe teasingly asks if he ought to keep quiet, Jack, flustered responds with 'no, DON'T shut the fuck up--just--shut the fuck up..! goddamnit Gabe you shit fucking asshole!'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
eeeeeeeee
gabriel was so smooth this whole time but his voice finally cracks a little and he starts coming undone and jack is like HOLY SHIT
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
jack realizing that he's going to have to break down and meet Gabe in person, and the entire remaining few minutes before he comes, every swear that passes his lips is more out of anxiety over the meeting than any immediate need for release.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhh gabe
.... jack
i meant jack
LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe keeps babbling about how bad he wants to touch jack, get his mouth on those perfect tits, mark him up and finger him senseless, THEN fuck him
jack is Dying
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
after jack comes, while he's just relaxed enough not to care, he mutters 'you're not gonna like me.'
Gabe recognizes it as Jack's agreement to finally meet, and he can't help the surge of triumph. he tries not to sound too smug--just in case--when he reminds Jack that they've been talking for weeks and that, if he was gonna dislike Jack, he'd certainly have figured that out already.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHHHH
does jack admit that he likes gabe or is it too soon >w>
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
too soon, i think. he's only just worked up the courage to meet the guy he's done nothing but cuss at and lust over via text for weeks XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so, what does Gabe suggest for their first date? few rounds at a gym? barfight?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
jack is like "you know me so well"
this is when gabe awkwardly drops in while jack's at work?? XD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
and jack immediately gets an awkward boner? XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHA
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
looks up, sees Gabe, chokes on his own spit, points across the room and shouts 'get the fuck out of here!'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHAHAHA
where does he work and does he have to wear a stupid uniform
one of those dumb aesthetic diners??
well either way jack is SO MAD especially because gabe's voice triggers a pavlovian response at this point
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
i was thinking garage, so he's all greasy and gross and in one of those ugly onesie jumpsuits
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhh yessss
he's all flustered and when he gets flustered he gets Punchy
gabe can't tell if his face is bright red from embarrassment or fury
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
both. both is good.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
and he's all self-conscious about the random smears of oil and whatever on his face and in his hair but he keeps nervously running his fingers through his hair and making it Worse
gabe wants to kiss him so bad
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
GABE WASN'T EXPECTING HIS OWN AWKWARD BONER
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHAHA
he really does like em filthy >w>
jack is all over the place and gabe is just kinda watching him rage in a daze. all he can think about is how much he wants those greasy, work-roughened hands on him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
Jack coming over to shoo Gabe out, but when he grabs Gabe's arm to steer him toward the door, Gabe manages to snag a bit of his coveralls and mutter 'where were you hiding that time?'
Jack curses vehemently beneath his breath, because even thinking about how crowded close they would be in that tiny supply closet has him uncomfortably hard, and being so close to fucking Gabe and his stupid fucking face and his intoxicating goddamn smell and the huge fuck off cock that Jack knows is waiting for him is too much
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AAHDALIDNASDKJNCJCN
jack gives him a hard shove in the right direction and snarls "get over there"
.... oh lol that's a game line XDD
gabe stumbles into the closet and turns around to jack slamming the door shut in his face and locking him in there
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
OMG
XD
JAAAACK
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HE'S AT WORK AND GABE IS DISTRACTING
and he's a bad combo of horny and pissed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe texting him from the closet a series of increasingly more risque photos
better be careful no one finds him and calls the cops XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahahahahaha
jack finally gets to his lunch break and slams into the closet, immediately just on gabriel's mouth and yanking at his clothes
gabriel is suddenly incredibly aware of the fact that jack is actually just a tiny bit taller than him
they bang painfully into various shelves and random shit but neither of them stop. gabriel is delighted that it only seems to make jack more intense.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe asking jack between hasty kisses how long his lunch break is and trying to make a bet with him on how many times he can make him come before he has to get back
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
hhhhhhhhhhh
somehow jack ends up hoisted up against the door with his legs around gabe's waist and gabe's fingernails drawing blood from his thighs
haaa wait jack is wearing a jumpsuit
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
not anymore
XD
Jack's cussing reaches new levelsof inventiveness as they fight with the layers of his clothing
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
simultaneously threatening gabriel with death if he tears his uniform while also threatening death if he doesn't get his clothes off immediately
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahahaha what if they get discovered before they actually really get anywhere
like they're just aggressively grinding and then someone bangs on the door and is like MORRISON WTF GET BACK TO WORK
let the tension build until his shift is over >w>
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg
jack gets done with his shift and texts gabe his address and is all 'IF YOU AREN'T FUCKING THERE TO MEET ME AND READY TO FINISH WHAT WE FUCKING STARTED I SWEAR TO ALL THAT IS HOLY I WILL FLAY YOU AND USE YOUR HIDE LIKE A BEARSKIN RUG'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHAHA YEP
gabe gets there and barely has time to knock on the door before jack is yanking him inside and they're making out against a random wall
gabe ends up fucking jack for the first time over his kitchen counter
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol i'm just imagining Jack cussing up a storm when he has to wash his greasy, gritty handprints off the backsplash later XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
gabe bends him over the counter and jack snarls "you motherfucker i make FOOD here" but when gabe tries to pull away jack is like "GABRIEL I SWEAR TO GOD FUCK ME RIGHT NOW"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
just no pleasing him XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
it turns out jack was just really really hangry
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg. gabe REALLY needs to bring handcuffs and a gag into this relationship.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
once gabe fucks him a whole bunch jack mellows out a startling amount for brief periods of time immediately afterward
AHAHA YES
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol turns into slug jack
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yeppp
after being fucked, jack drops like a rock
goes immediately into slug form
which lasts for between 5 minutes and 3 hours depending on how hard they went
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe thinks this is the funniest shit ever
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
takes lots of pics
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
the best part is he knows for a fact that almost no one has experienced slug jack
it's just for him XDD
but then jack goes back to his usual temperamental self in no time
which gabe loves too <33
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe has a skewed sense of humor in this one XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
yep XDDD
ahhhhh but then everything changed when the Feelings attacked
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
omg
timing.
i'm seriously about to drop
feelings tomorrow?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ME TOO NGL,,,
SOUNDS GOOD
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
yey
XD
<3<3<3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
GOOD NIGHT
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
night night. hope you sleep well. <3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
<333
LOL
okay so plot twist for this angry jack and weird sense of humor gabe
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
???????
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
jack gets feelings first
:3c
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
=O
ohhhh he would be SO FUCKED
i love it XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
gabe's having a grand old time but he's not sure if it's serious
or if he wants it to be serious
meanwhile jack trips and plunges straight into a bottomless pit of Feelings
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh noooo
so does jack, like, in his angry, cuss-y way...try to...talk about it??
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
HAHAHA
well first he has to randomly get even more irritable than usual for seemingly no reason
also starts being more aggressive about sex bc hey that's the reason gabe's here right
which gabe is happy to oblige of course
but it is weird
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
i'm just trying to wrap my head around how angry this Jack would have to get in order for Gabe to notice.
maybe it's not just that--maybe he actually starts, like, not answering texts right away--sort of how he would do back when they first met
not quite avoiding Gabe, but something's off.
and his insluts feel a bit forced and stale. they don't flow so readily. XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heeheeee
jack is caught between "do i try to be more pleasant so maybe he'll like me back or do i try to make him go away before it gets painful"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh jacki
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg jack awkwardly haltingly asking if gabe wants to go out to eat
he means it as a date but gabe takes it as casual dinner
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
OH NO GABE BUNNY SUNSHINE BBY NO
Jack trying to get himself cleaned up all pretty for gabe
actually buys a nie set of clothes
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
AHHHHH
and he thinks he's being So painfully obvious about his crush, gabe HAS to know right?
but no. gabe just thinks he's being a little off.
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe sees him in khakis and...i don't know...a sweatervest or something and laughs and asks who died
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ALIENACKISA
woah accidentally spelled alien with my keysmash
nice :alien:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
geez though jack would be Livid
either that or shut down a little
some weird combination of the two
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gets livid first, then just kinda shuts down and gives up. he's unnaturally quiet thru the meal, responding only when absolutely necessary, and then usually in grunts. it's enough that even Gabe realizes that something's wrong. his first guess: 'shit, Jack, did someone actually die?'
only Jack's budding hopes for their relationship
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
skjfnsejkcnesjkfnsecjkn
jack grumbles "if only"
subtext: somebody is going to die and jack hasn't decided if it will be gabriel or himself yet
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
X'D
brb--time for tea
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ooo that's a good idea
jack is quietly fiddling with his pasta, only kinda nibbling at it. gabe decides to test the waters with the worst corn-related jab he can come up with. jack gives him a look but doesn't respond.
gabe concludes that jack must be dying of cancer or something
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD
HE'S DYING OF HEARTBREAK GABE CAN'T YOU SEE???
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LOL
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh god. so, what if Gabe, like, pesters an answer out of him, and Jack kinda mutters 'I like you' and Gabe s COMPLETELY not expecting this OR for Jack to apparently be in earnest about it, and he laughs. Just a short laugh, the sort of laugh that bursts out when you're completely stunned by something a need a moment to process. But Jack takes it completely the wrong way. Gabe get's a second's warning in the almost murderous look on Jack's face, then he gets decked and ends up laid out on the floor and stuck with the check.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
kajcnaksjcnakcjnsakcj
jack completely breaks his nose
gabe ends up having to go to the er real quick for that lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
omg
they avoid each other for a good whie afterwards. Gabe is mad bc Jack actually hit him. Jack is pissed bc Gabe didn't get it. Gabe's the first one that caves, texting Jack about being owed an apology. Jack doesn't answer, and it's a full day before Gabe tries again.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg bratty gabe
another plot twist
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
you have one, or bratty gabe is one?
also i think gabe is justified XD
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
bratty gabe is one XDD
he's definitely justified in being bratty
it's just funny lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
when Gabe follows up the next day and sees that Jack is going to try to ignore him again, it sets off his temper. He sends text after text after text until he finally gets a string of mismatched curses followed by WHAT from Jack
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhhh
gabe is like DON'T WHAT ME YOU BROKE MY NOSE
jack sends a very non-genuine sorry
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so fucking sowwy i hurt the widdle baby's feewings. fuck off asshole.
Gabe calls him. Jack ignores it. When Gabe starts calling back every time it goes to voicemail, Jack turns his phone off and flings it across the room. He settles in with a movie and orders a pizza. When he hears teh door, he automatically goes and opens it, and is taken by surprise when Gabe comes barreling in, demanding to know what the FUCK his problem is.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
JAACK
you can't escape
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
'Why the fuck did you hit me?? That's a pretty damn mixed signal.'
Jack does NOT want to have this conversation. He turns his back on Gabe, goes to pick up his phone as if he hadn't flung it away half an hour ago, and curses about the screen being broken.
'Jack. I came here to get an answer. You owe me that much, at least. My nose looks like a fucking beet.'
'Ha. Now I'm not the only one with an ugly mug. Least yours isn't permanent.'
The pizza guy arrives, giving Jack another small break and he tips big in gratitude, then tries to shoo Gabe away. 'I only ordered for one.'
'Jack you stubborn fucking bastard, was it all your goddamn idea of a joke or something?'
'Oh, yeah, ha ha REAL FUNNY the big angry guy with the scars has feelings! What a goddamn RIOT.'
'That's not what I meant.'
'Then why the fuck did you laugh?'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
ahhhhhhhhhhh
gabe doesn't reply right away and jack actually deflates
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
((i'm so unaccustomed to angry jack that it doesn't even feel like him tbh XD))
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
he rubs at his arm and says "look i get it i'm so fucking amusing to you. but i'm too tired to entertain you right now."
lol angry jack is another rare commodity
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
oh god my tiny, emotionally-stunted heart ; ;
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
he just wants gabe to take him seriously a little qoq
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
so, Gabe doesn't have feels yet...?
or is this the kick in the pants that makes him realize he doesn't smile immediately upon seeing Jack out of anticipation for hilarity, but rather bc he's genuinely glad to see him?
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
hhhh can't decide if i want more angst or for them to fix it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
if Gabe doesn't have feels, and tries to let Jack down gently, i can't realyl see angry Jack staying with him.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
maybe gabe doesn't really think too hard about it, just tells jack that he misses him. really misses him, not just when he's unintentionally funny, but all the time
"i just..." he sighs, trying to swallow his pride. "i'm sorry... i laughed. i was just startled"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
Jack grits his teeth over that, but holds his tongue.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
"i just never know what you're thinking, so... i didn't expect it."
"i asked you on a date," jack growls. "we've been having sex like nonstop since we met." apart from the past few days. "what else would i be thinking?"
"that... it was casual." gabe shuffles and looks at jack through his lashes. "you meant it? you really..."
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
GABE YOU'RE GONNA GET PUNCHED AGAIN
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
jack is flexing his fist threateningly
"yes, fuck, i like you." he says it with his usual irritable bluster, but there's a tremble in his voice and it suddenly hits gabe that jack is nervous
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
he's just a big insecure softie under all that bluster, Gabe.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
YEP
and gabe didn't really get that until just now
he stares at jack open-mouthed and jack actually blushes. "what?"
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
gabe.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
LMAO
gabe needs to talk to semi-slug jack about this lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
lol no kidding
okay, so, when last we left our intrepid heroes, Jack was trying not to crush the pizza that just got delivered as he held it in his large, angry hands while Gabe came to the slow realization that Jack was serious when he claimed to like like him. But to Gabe, they've only ever been friends with benefits.
Gabe, deciding that now is hardly the time to stop being blunt, asks Jack if he's going to invite him to stay for dinner, since he owes him a meal at least after leaving him stuck with the check last time.
Grudgingly, Jack allows him to stay. They sit as far from each other as possible on the couch, open pizza box between them.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
omg
the atmosphere is ice cold
omg but jack hasn't been sleeping well at all after all this drama and after they put on some dumb show, he quickly starts dozing off
gabe moves the box before jack ends up with a face full of grease
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
XD PIZZA FACE!
When Gabe tries to help ease Jack down, Jack latches onto him and is snuggly--too far gone towards sleep to be his usual grumpy bear self
Gabe is like 'this is not what i came here for.'
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
heeeeee exhaustion induced slug jack
he ends up with jack's head pillowed in his lap and a hand running through jack's hair
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
BLESS
<3<3<3
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
>w<
gabe can't resist dropping a kiss onto jack's temple and jack's nose wrinkles adorably
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
he's kinda sitting there, petting Jack's hair absently while he ponders his predicament
he likes Jack, but he likes him as a fun fuckbuddy. He hadn't been thinking about anything more serious, and isn't sure he wants something like that.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
COME ON GABE
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
WELL WE JUST SPRANG IT ON HIM
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe tries to get up but jack just clings more
gabe like gently pulls away but jack tugs hard and somehow gabe ends up on his back with a dozing jack curled on top of him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
they doze off like that, only to be awakened with a start at almost three in the morning as the dipshit from upstairs gets back drunk again and starts banging on the door of his apartment to be let in. lol
cue early morning grumpy Gabe, slug Jack, and a chance to talk when Jack's awake but too tired to be wrathful
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
YES
jack starts mumbling about how he really really likes gabe
he knows he's hard to be around and nobody wants to deal with him but gabe still wants to be in his life
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
ohhh ;-;
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
gabe starts to realize how much he means to jack finally lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/27/2017
'jeezus, bro, you couldn't just tell me all this before now?' he slugs Jack lightly in the shoulder, but Jack just huffs and won't make eye contact with him.
'Jack, I--'
'Don't give me an answer right now. I can guess what it'll be.'
Gabe consideres him for a minute. Then: 'All right. You mind if I stay over?'
Jack shrugs and Gabe grabs his hands to pull him up off the couch. 'All right, big boy. Up you get.' He leads Jack to the bedroom and undresses him before tumbling him into bed. He sheds his own clothes and climbs in after him. Any protests Jack might have made fall silent as Gabe kisses him. He keeps it soft and slow, even as he deepens the kiss. Every move is gentle, intended to comfort. Jack is already drifting back to sleep even as Gabriel strokes him.
firesonic152 - 10/27/2017
hhhhhhhhh QwQ
gabes getting feelssss
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
lol but Jack waking up and being his normal self, cursing up a blue streak at all the hickies Gabe sucked into his neck last night.
without taking about it, they reach an agreement to continue on as they had been. the only change is that Jack is more reticent, less likely to text Gabe first, and more likely to go silent.
firesonic152 - 10/28/2017
ahhhhhhhh
he's still aggressive when they makeout and all through foreplay but as soon as gabe is inside him, he stops putting up his usual fight
if gabe goes rough he takes it willingly, but he doesn't push back
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
omg. like, i really need to turn in but...before that--Gabe starting to get weirded out by how Jack is in bed, so he confronts him about it, says that Jack going all passive makes him feel like the bad guy. and Jack just casually shoots back that there's nothing Gabe can dish out that he can't handle, and Gabe just snaps back with something like 'Jack, I love you, but damn it if you aren't the most stubborn fucking cuss. I just want to know that I'm making you feel good.' And he stops because Jack is gaping at him. '...what?'
'What did you just say?'
'That...I want to make you feel good.' But something is nagging at the back of his mind, and he replays the words and hears what Jack heard and now both of them are staring at each other.
firesonic152 - 10/28/2017
AHHHHHHHH
I'M DYING BRO
that was gay
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/28/2017
XD
GOOD.
it was gay and cliche and they can figure out if Gabe meant it tomorrow
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
soozy pay attention to me
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
lol sorry
what's up?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
nothing i just miss you XD
AND WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT IF GABE MEANT IT
if he loves jack yet anyway
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
Jack muttering 'You didn't mean that,' as he turns away, but Gabe can see that he's blushing again.
'I didn't mean to say it...' he hedges.
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
hhhhh gabe you coy motherfucker
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
maybe he still doesn't know if he means it that way
like, Gabe's a sweetheart. he's affectionate, and it just slipped out. but is it really the whole romantic love sort of thing, or just affection?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
he definitely likes jack a lot, more than anyone he's ever had a thing with. but he doesn't know if he likes jack as much as jack likes him??
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
what if he asks for more time, and Jack snaps back that that's all he's been giving him. Hands him excuses, gives him time.
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
gabriel looks pained as he says quietly that he really thinks jack deserves someone who loves him more than anything and he just... wants to make sure he isn't holding jack back from that
OR SOMETHING lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
not holding him back from that by sticking around as a fuck buddy? lol good job, Gbae
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
LOL that's what jack throws in his face
SO LIKE. HOW WE GONNA MAKE GABE FINALLY REALIZE HIS FEELINGS I'm dying squirtle
we could always fuck up jack somehow
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
i mean, it'd prolly be easy enough to just have Jack get tired of waiting and call it off...
THEN fuck him up OuO
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
YES
AND GABE FREAKS OUT ABOUT THE FACT THAT HE LOST HIS CHANCE W JACK
jack spits at gabe that he's tired of waiting for gabe to figure it out and he's done. gabe doesn't have any counterarguments.
the last time gabe sees jack is when he walks out the door and turns around to see jack hesitate for just a second, a death drip on the door handle that he could swear is denting it. then a muttered "don't text me" before the door closes in his face.
and that's that
until jack gets fucked up somehow
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
lands himself in the hospital, however he manages it.
i guess we can't make it something funny like...he throws a spanner in a fit of rage and it bounces back to hit him in the face? XD
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
LMAO
HE LIKE GETS A SERIOUS HEAD INJURY
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
i was thinking he picks a fight with the wrong people and gets Destroyed
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
yah. that was my serious thought. XD
drunk bar fight?
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
yeah lmaooo
he's like already dangerously intoxicated and then gets beaten within an inch of his life
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/29/2017
alcohol poisoning AND all sorts of blunt force trauma
firesonic152 - 10/29/2017
good combo
gabe finds out bc his friend angela is like "bro there's this patient i'm super worried about"
she starts going on about how this patient is like really fucked and she starts getting teary eyed over it and at some point she mentions the name jack and gabe can't hear anything else she says until she tells him the last name
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe sitting by Jack's bedside, desperately wanting him to wake up and be okay, convinced that he irreparably fucked things up between them, but just wanting to know that he'll be okay before he gets out of Jack's life again.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhh
he tries to convince himself that it's only because he feels guilty about how they ended things but deep down he knows it's more than that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
;;
keeps telling himself that he merely wants to apologize to Jack, but really he needs Jack to be all right, needs to talk to him just one more time
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
HE'S GONNA OWE JACK SUCH AN APOLOGY WHEN HE WAKES UP
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
so jack finally wakes up and like
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe means to apologize, but what comes out is a lecture XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
he's Fucked up. semi-permanent eye damage and shit
yep !
jack is like FUCK OFF IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
gabe is like IT IS MY BUSINESS I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
WELL YOU PICKED A FINE FUCKING TIME TO DECIDE THAT, ASSHOLE
I DIDN'T FUCKING DECIDE IT, JACKASS, IT JUST HAPPENED
They're having, like, a full on shouting match in the hospital and the docs have to call security to get them to back down
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHAHA
they kick gabe out but he manages to sneak back in
they continue their shouting match in angry whispers
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
of course, they have to get pretty close for that to work
so it ends up with an angry make out session
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
they fuck up some of jack's stitches
his face starts bleeding
for some reason it only makes jack more insistent
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Gabe tastes Jack's blood in the midst of the kiss and backs off, starts lecturing him again. When Jack tells him he can either kiss him or fuck off, Gabe tells Jack that if he wants the former, then he can give Gabe a second chance once he's out of the hospital.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
omg gabe
baiting him w his own thirst
jack hates how he caves to that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
as soon as jack's cleared to go home, they rush back to his apartment and barrel onto jack's bed. gabe starts babbling about all his feelings but jack orders him to shut up and prove it
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
omg jack
gabe sweet talking him all the way through it until he voice starts to go hoarse
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhhhhhh<33
gabe partially lectures jack on being a fucking idiot but also drowns him in affection
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Jack is just swearing at him the entire time, but it's all desperate and needy and after a while just a babbling stream of noise expressing how much he's wanted all of Gabe
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
ahhhhh jack you hot mess
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yes.
Jack being desperate and overcome and stil sore and rushing headlong into this even tho Gabe's hurt him more than once, but he just wants so goddamn bad
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHHHH
and gabe gets overwhelmed by how jack is still throwing himself back into gabe despite everything
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
jack is sad and lonely and he wuvs gabe and just wants to be happy ;;
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
gabriel slows for a moment, scared of how he could potentially fuck this up again and hurt jack even worse, but jack kisses him, bites his lip, growls at him to stop thinking and just take him
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
o///o
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
they both end up THOROUGHLY marked XDD
jack becomes a slug for like 5 whole hours after
(gabe takes the opportunity to fuck slug jack slow and sweet <333)
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
lol
Jack wanting so badly to just let himself enjoy the intimacy that begins to follow, tho--Gabe getting up and fixing coffee and bringing him some, extra gestures of affection like kisses and ruffling his hair and just reaching out to touch him or lean against him, calling him to say good night or good morning on days when Gabe doesn't stay over--just all the small gestures that go beyond fuck buddies. They give Jack the warm fuzzies, but his anxiety twists things around so that he has to fight to hold on to the good feelings.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
AHHH
jaaack
but then gabe marries him so it's okay!!!!!!!!
tell me it's okay lol
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yes, pls. v okay. they turn into that comic where Jack is asking 'you still like me, right?' up until they're in their couple's graves
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
gabe has to smooch his ring finger
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
omgomg
yup
Gabe and Jack falling back onto the mattress, all out of breath after their first roud on their honeymoon, and Gabe letting out this faint laugh and it gets Jack laughing a bit. He asks what's funny, and Gabe gestures vaguely, and is like: 'this. i never expected any of this.' And even as Jack is going quiet next to him, Gabe rolls over and cups his cheek and smiles reassuringly. 'didn't expect doesn't mean regrets. i'm glad it happened, and if i had a million lifetimes, i'd marry you again in all of them.'
Jack smiles for him, just a little thing, but he's better these days at trusting Gabe over things like that. He still blushes every time, though, which Gabe still finds enchanting. Jack wraps an arm around him, pulling Gabe on top of him.
'Show me how glad you are.'
Gabe is more than happy to do so.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
hhhhh<33333
angry jack is all about actions >w<
i'm dying that's so cute
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
^^
angry jack is all about getting laid as much as possible XD
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL also true
but normal jack is also kinda like that
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
yup. consistent characterization ftw
XD
so, like, does Jack end up taking some anger management courses or something as a show of how serious he is about wanting to make sure the relationship works?
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
he definitely needs to do something to mellow out lol
krav maga
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
UHM
i think
that might
have
not good
consequences
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
krav maga is totally jack's preferred fighting style though lbr
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
takes up swimming at the Y to burn off energy. also, exercise is supposedly a mood enhancer?
Gabe totes approves.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
:DDD
jack is able to balance anger jack w slug jack
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
ohh, what if he's reluctant to broach the anger management idea w Gabe not only bc he doesn't want to throw one of his biggest shortcomings into the spotlight, but also bc he's afraid Gabe won't like him as much wout the anger to laugh at
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
uahhh
how does gabe tackle that if jack won't bring it up DD:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
like, how does Gabe suggest it to him?
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
yeah :thinking:
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
maybe he doesn't. i think it would mean more if Jack decided to make the change for himself.
but to come out and say 'I have this problem' even if that's the preface to 'I'm going to try to fix it' can be hard--even if it's a really obvious problem.
it's like, if you don't talk about it, then maybe it isn't so bad. maybe the consequences can be put off indefinitely.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
yeah qoq
ahh jack starts like going to a group or something but he doesn't want gabe to know so he starts getting kinda shifty whenever gabe asks what he's always doing at the same time every week or two
gabe has no idea what jack could be hiding from him lmao
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD and the REALLY weird thing is, when he tries to confront Jack about it, instead of a flood of curses, Jack takes a deep breath and tries really hard to hold his temper and respond evenly.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
LOL
GABE THERE'S YOUR CLUE
gabe worries but he also objectively trusts jack so he tries not to ask too much
BUT GOD HE WANTS TO KNOW
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
XD
meanwhile, Jack keeps telling himself that once he's made some progress, he'll tell gabe, 'cause it'll be easier once he no longer has a problem. thing is, Jack doesn't recognize the progress he's making.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
gabe notices though QwQ
maybe he like comments on it one day kinda out of the blue
how he's happy that jack seems to be much happier lately
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Jack gets weirdly defensive about that.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
can gabe tell jack he's proud of him!!!
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
once he gets Jack to spill XD
what if Gabe found one of the brochures from the group, and put two and two together?
and he mentions Jack's mood to test the waters, then admits he figured it out when Jack gets flustered
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
aww
jack tries to like give gabe a whole thing about how he knows his reactions to things are really bad and he's really trying and all that but gabe just silences him with the proud line ??
SuspiciousPopsicle - 10/30/2017
Startled, Jack blinks owlishly at him for a moment. tries to argue that he's still fucking up, but Gabe won't hear it--just smiles gently and repeats that he's proud of him.
firesonic152 - 10/30/2017
awwwwwwww
