No, you're absolutely correct. You're far more dramatic than that.

[Yeah, Jake is pretty focused on this hair business. He sits back when he's got it at least straightened somewhat out to Dirk's normal style.]

There! That should hold until you can do it yourself.

[Jake is a tease and Dirk needs to stop putting himself in situations like this. Instead, he moves back and starts to turn away once Jake is finished.

Being a teenager with a crush is hard, okay.

He almost goes to touch his hair, but thinks better of it.]

You tryin' to compare me to Shakespeare, English? Sorry to say the only way I'm like the play is my sick mastery of language.

Thanks.

Well, so far, he's continued to be the greatest playwright and poet, so yes, I would pay you that compliment!

[And Jake needs to stop being clueless about these situations he gets them into.]

Anytime.

[God, Jake, you're going to make him blush.]

I'm flattered.

[hoperaider]

[Jake would pay a lot to see that. He grins at Dirk.]

I should head out to train. See you at dinner?

[Action]

[shippingmath]

Yeah. See you.

[The moment Jake's gone, Dirk flops down on the bed and stares at the ceiling for a while. Emotions are hard. Liking Jake is hard. Everything is hard, and no one understands.]
