[Dirk is increasingly nervous through the time it takes for Jake to work himself up to actually saying anything. Because the more Jake waffles on this, the more it seems like he's actually working himself up to say no.
But of course he isn't. And to think, he's actually worried that Dirk might not be interested any more. Dirk can't keep in the smile. He's not trying very hard to, though. He's wanted this to happen for so long, and it's nice. There will be consequences. There will be things that need to be worked out.
For now, though, hell yes, he's got himself a boyfriend.]
[Wow, why can't he stop grinning? There's still some shyness, but it's mostly very happy.]
Then, I think I'd like to take you up on that date you were talking about when we were in Azalea! I just need a time and place, unless you're going to escort me there.
[Which is going to probably have to happen if they're in Goldenrod at the time of the date. Fuck Goldenrod, it's the worst city.]
[It's a very attractive look on Jake, and Dirk is still getting it through his head that he caused it. He will probably never get over that.
In the meantime, he's just going to shift closer to Jake. He's allowed to do that now, after all! There are a lot of things he gets to do now, though there's one in particular that he's thinking of.]
Give me a day to set it up. Then I'll escort you there.
[Action]
But holy shit actually confronting this?]
Y-yeaaah....
[Give him a moment, Dirk. He's trying not to come up with something along the lines of, "I choose you, Dirk!" That'd just be silly.]
Um...ugh, this is harder than it looks. [Jake takes a deep breath.] Wouldyougooutwithmeasmorethanfriends?
[His face is practically glowing.]
I-I mean...that's saying you're still interested and haven't moved on to bigger and better people, ahaha...ha....

[Action]
Sure, he can do that!]
Haha, I'm glad I won't be in suspense for too long, then!
[Action]
Just don't stay up all night thinking about it.
[Action]
Nonsense, I'd do nothing of the sort! I mean, if I stayed up all night thinking about it, then I wouldn't have as much energy for it as I should.
[Action]
Since when do you not have more than enough energy for everything?
[Action]
[Yet he'll still get up at dawn. You know he's sick when he's not up by then.]
[Action]
Noted. I'll just have to keep you up all night after the date.
[Action]
Haha, good luck with that! As you've said, I've got a lot of energy to spare.
[Action]
Even so, I doubt you can stay awake longer than I can.
[Action]
[Action]
[Challenging each other to stay up as long as possible? Boys, please.]
But it'll have to wait until we take care of this date.
[Action]
[He grins.]
Of course. We have to be in tip top shape for that!
[Action]
[Action]
[Action]
Of course.
[Action]
Hah! I made you laugh without resorting to tickles!
[Dirk has no idea how much of a victory Jake feels about this.]
[Action]
[Please? Maybe?]
[Action]
Nah. It's too much fun to give up!
[Action]
This just means I'll have to get revenge.
[Action]
[He grins, not too troubled by it. The tickling is so worth it.]
[Action]
[It probably involves an ambush.]
[Action]
[And that will be the day Dirk learns that Jake is practically crippled when tickled.]
