Diving Into the Unknown

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

He only rolled his eyes at the smart-ass comment that Jacob had provided to him. He could sense the pride, and almost burst out laughing. But he was able to control himself, simply sitting away in the rocking chair and rocking back and forth while studying the form of the young man before him. “Although, what?” He said a moment after his friend had seemingly trailed off. With a smirk, he noticed Jacob’s standing position now and found it a tad bit amusing as it seemed his friend was basically posing, accidentally.

[Sly Cooper]

"Although it's not too bad I guess--" Jacob didn't want to say what he had originally said, which was something along the lines of at least you don't have a face that people seem to want to punch like Damon The statement seemed inappropriate. Although, Jacob wasn't entirely sure why people liked to use him as a punching bag. "A handsome face goes a long way--" he threw in. "I mean look at Sunshine. She wouldn't still be alive if it weren't for her dumb luck and her looks." It was a compliment to Nako, even if it didn't come out that way. Indeed, he did appear quite attractive, but Jacob never did like to let on.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

He raised an eyebrow at Jacob's odd statement, but shrugged it off. He was still examining Jacob's naked form standing before him, and of course, he still had that smirk on his own face when his eyes led up to Jacob's face. It sounded like, from the way his friend was talking, that perhaps poor Jacob was starting to get the hots for Nako. That was hopefully a good thing, though. But instead of saying anything else, he gradually stood up doing his best not to get too close to Jacob, and then started running away. He would run around the attic as fast as he could and dodge every now and then if Jacob happened to chase him around. "Catch me if you can!" He hadn't taken off his clothes yet, and he wouldn't for a short while. Unless, of course, Jacob would manage to grab him, if it was to go that way.

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob rolled his eyes. He wasn't entirely sure why he should chase Nako, or more importantly if he even wanted to. It didn't help that Jacob had to win everything, and they only thing he couldn't beat Damon at was running. On the other hand, if he could beat Nako, then he would feel very good about himself, and that was enough to get him even thinking about a chase. "Why should I come get you?" He began to come after him, ready to pounce on him like a tiger on his prey.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

He playfully stuck out his tongue at the other, having halted short enough to respond to the silly question. “Duh! It’s a game!” He started to chuckle, and then ran away very quickly without warning. He practically leapt onto and then away from the mattress to try and confuse his poor companion. But if he was caught, he supposed there would have to be a prize. “And if you win, you get whatever you want!” He started for the other side of the attic, much further away from the mattress where there would be plenty of room to navigate around easily especially at a quick pace like Nako’s.

[Sly Cooper]

"A prize, hmm?" He had a couple ideas in his head, but he would figure it out when he caught the lad. He followed him around a bit, before getting close enough that he leaped forward, in hopes to catch Nako. By this point Jacob knew exactly what he wanted, and he was going to get it, or rather he was determined to.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako had continued to run until he was almost to the wall, and then he started to turn. However, a tackle from his friend was enough to send him sprawling to the floor laughing. He hadn’t really expected Jacob to get close enough even for a tackle, but he was rather proud, though. When he was able to catch his breath, he crawled out and then sat up, looking across the room at Jacob. “Well, you caught me! Way to go, Jacob! Whoa!” Another laugh came and then he was quiet but gave the other a smirk.

[Sly Cooper]

"I sure did catch you," Jacob huffed, and waited for his breath to calm. he would even hold his breath trying to soothe it faster, which of course never works, but he tried anyway. He stood up, and bent over with his hands on his knees, still breathing heavy, but not as much so. "But now you owe me remember?" He thought about his request carefully.

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako nodded as he started to stand up. He would let Jacob catch his breath while he himself moved across the attic back to the rocking chair. He took his seat there and did his best to relax his muscles and his beating heart as well. He had been working out lately, and had managed to lose some of the weight from before. He glanced up when Jacob spoke again, and smirked, “And what do I owe you, handsome?” He stuck out his tongue playfully, watching his companion. Apparently, his friend seemed to be thinking, so he would sit in the rocking chair quietly.

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob smirked, and looked over at Nako, rocking himself in the chair. "I want you to replay the other night-- the one with Damon-- but with me instead--" Yes, Jacob was still obsessing over the event's that had happened the night before. He wanted to know, exactly, what it was like. "What do you say to that, handsome?" he echoed slightly. He grinned. "I know, I know, you're sick of me bringing it up aren't you. But what can I say, I'm the jealous type."

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

He rolled his eyes. It was simple enough to do so when a certain guy couldn’t seem to stop asking for something that he wasn’t sure he could deliver. But he shrugged lightly, before standing up and stepping over to the mattress. “If you’re really sure, then okay. In fact, we could probably do it better.” He stuck out his tongue playfully but waited for Jacob to approach him. “I’m hoping you remembered exactly what I said… Because I wouldn’t like to repeat it again. Three times isn’t very lucky, I have to admit.” He didn’t like three, nor did he like six. They were just creepy numbers to him, since they would have at least some small part in evil doings. He rolled his eyes, amused. “And of course, you’re quite the jealous type. As if I haven’t noticed yet,” he winked with a smirk.

[Sly Cooper]

"Yeah i think i got it." Jacob made a face. He almost wanted to say that he didn't just to push Nako's buttons, but he decided not to. After all, that's what people like Damon are for. You push their buttons, they don't really push back, but their frustration is mighty adorable. Although, a part of him, at this point in time, wasn't interested in actually doing, but rather being a pain in the rear. And so an evil, and yet smug, grin stretched farther across his face. His dark blue eyes glinted. "Although, I'm not too sure on that last part."

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako simply stood there, examining Jacob’s face carefully before his eyes couldn’t resist looking at the young man’s body again. It was rather tempting, but he fought back the urge to just hug him so tightly. He had to keep up his end of the bargain, though, and he would have that chance pretty soon. “Well, then,” he said as he started to raise his arms, preparing himself to allow Jacob to strip him down. “You want it that badly, you know what to do, then.” He smirked but then gave his friend a wink. He didn’t mention anything about Jacob’s jealousy, as he wasn’t sure if he had been right the first time around.

[Sly Cooper]

Jacob, then changes his mind, like always. Things weren't as much fun as he had hoped they would be. Then again Jacob was one who liked to follow trouble and when he couldn't, trouble seemed to follow him. He made a face of displeasure, then turned around and began to pick up his clothes from the floor. "Naw-- I changed my mind. I want to go swimming." He slipped his pants up and then fastened the button in the front. "I like swimming. Hey, maybe we could get friends and we can have a swim party at the creek." He made another face then looked at Nako. "Wait-- we don't really have many in the way friends do we?" He shrugged and pulled his shirt over his head. "Then again, I'd rather be alone then be with Sunshine. Agreed?"

Jacob chuckled, and scuffed across the room over to Nako, then held out his hand, hoping he would take it. But if not, he wouldn't take it personally. "In any case, i want to go swimming. Are you in?"

[Runako Xanthias Bachur]

Nako, slightly disappointed, shrugged. He was so sure that Jacob would’ve wanted another round, but he supposed that it was better that way. After all, he had read about certain diseases and so forth, and although he was fairly sure that neither one of them could’ve been worse, he would’ve understood the need to be careful, since there weren’t any condoms they could really use. Whoops, he needed to get his head out of the gutter, as he was starting to feel a little special down there, and he didn’t want Jacob to notice it. “Sure, I guess,” he said calmly, “I can understand you’re tired of me.” He shrugged, almost letting his disappointment get the better of him, but he fetched his pair of jeans and donned them on before heading for the attic door. One thing he knew for sure, right now he preferred the awkward Damon better than the sleazy Jacob.
