Jake raised a brow at his fiancé. She did like to tease him about his bush boy upbringing, but to call him out in front of Dipper and Marie? That was next level. Oh, it was on.

He sat up a bit straighter, getting into a position Alana was all to familiar with. One that didn't back down from a challenge and was stubborn as they come. (He would not end up winning this by any means, but he always put up a good fight.)

"Oi, I'll have you know 'shuffling' originated from the Melbourne shuffle." He stated his fun fact as if it were the greatest comeback to her teasing him about his hometown. Part of him was joking because shuffling was not exactly the greatest dance accomplishment, but another part of him took pride in it.

He leaned in towards her, smirk on his face, "I didn't take dance lessons, if that's what you're getting at. I was too busy learning how to hogtie and wrangle troublemakers on the station." Those troublemakers happened to be young calves or the snake he had to trap and take off property, but he left it to everyone's interpretation. "Did have to pull out some fancy footwork though, they tend to bite." Though Dipper or Marie may catch his drift, he didn't care much. He just wanted to slip that meaning right on across the table and into Alana's lap for later.

The Australian looked back towards the other two, "In any case, I think I do pretty well for myself on my own. Learning someone else's choreo though, that's the big hill to climb, I'll admit."

Jake had heard through everyone that Aquata and James had split. He didn't really know much, he hadn't talked at length with Alana about it or anything and Q was typically a pretty private person.

He knew Alana would automatically pick her sister's side, but Jake was still friends and coworkers with James. He was going to see if this had made things awkward between them or if he could continue hanging out with the other bloke.

"Don't think its weird. Just a little different." He gave a shrug as he sipped on his beer, "You two didn't end on bad terms or anything did you?"

Starting Over {Jake & James}

[crickey-itsjake]

Crikey, that was a goat. In the middle of town.

Jake had been halfway through his Lucky Cat drink. Boba tea wasn't exactly something he was familiar with until the place opened up and he had to say, he liked it.

He looked around for someone who might be--Chief. Ah, that made sense in a way. He downed the rest of his drink and ran to help the other man wrangle the goat, "Oi, I don't think this bloke's got the right permit to be out in front of the town hall." He called over as he jogged to head off the goat and push him back towards Chief's direction.

Jake hadn't been waiting long, even if he was Sparky was more than content to entertain himself sniffing every random rock and bush he could find for a trail of something. Another dog? Another squirrel? A snake? Possibilities for smells were endless and Sparky wanted to discover it all.

He didn't mind that Titan was excitable, he reminded him of the other herding and working dogs back at the station that nipped at the heels of a few of the stray animals. He and Sparky could use some extra friends anyways.

"No worries, mate." Jake gave him a grin, "Glad ya could make it. At least it's a nice day for a hike, weather the last couple days has been real back and forth. Think we got lucky."

Sparky bounded around Titan, sniffing and eventually settling down enough to start ahead on the trail, pulling Jake's arm in the process. He just gave a shrug and a chuckle, "He's a bit eager to go."

Jake did miss those old days of having more free time being a TA. Now he had to actually plan the lessons.

"Dunno about quarterly with the amount my phone blows up during the day with 'em." Jake looked at Alana with a slightly unamused but playful expression. He turned back towards the group, "But you know, one thing leads to another and next thing you know Dipper and I might be in a Tik Tok dance competition for the both of you because we've been given homework to study." Jake made some kind of dance move gesture like in the dance reels that kept appearing in his feed.

Quite lame of him, but he didn't care much. His eyes glanced to the ring on Alana's finger and he smirked a bit to himself about it. Pretty soon that one would be replaced with a different (also expensive) one. Yeah, he didn't care much if everyone else saw him as a goofball or something, the only person who really mattered was next to him and she was well aware of his many quirks.

Jake watched as the two dogs bounded along, jumping from one side to another and playing, "Me? Well, right now I'm an assistant professor for Magizoology over at the university. Research projects had me traveling to get hands on experience in the field. Plus, I go back home to Australia at least once a year for a bit, kind of builds in a little bit of travel regardless of projects."

He'd be sticking around a lot more though, he wasn't quite as reckless and quick to take on missions these days, maybe he was getting a bit worn out in his Agent life, or maybe being so close to marriage was keeping him a bit more soft. But part of him thought that maybe, if the right circumstance came along, he'd be at the university as more than just a cover.

"Oi, I'd give myself a solid B plus on keeping up with reels." Jake quipped, smirking over at his fiance and crossing his arms over himself. He wasn't ashamed to admit it in front of Marie and Dipper, or really anyone else. They were Instagram videos. Alana just liked to give him shit and it was one of the things he loved her for.

"I eventually see things, it's just not always the same day." He shrugged, "Sometimes the notifications just magically disappear. They should really fix that glitch."

Jake was banking on Sparky and Titan wearing themselves out so he could get a bit of work done when they got home. Which job? Depended entirely on whatever he felt like and whatever that job felt like telling him was the most important. It really was a bit exhausting sometimes keeping his cover with his agent responsibilities as well and planning a wedding.

"Oh, I understand that. We're a bit of a hiking duo ourselves. He motivates me more than anything to keep up." Jake let out a chuckle. He'd grown up with ridges and cliffs but plenty of flat land. When he went out to New Zealand, the hills just about did him in, so Sparky was always a bit of his pacer car. Show him how slow he was going and how much faster he could really be.

"In any case, welcome back. I know the coming and going from this town as well." He wouldn't elaborate too much on it. "Research has me travel sometimes, but I'm not lookin' at leaving any time soon for longer than a holiday."

Jake sighed good naturedly with a friendly smile on his face, "Which it were that exciting."

"Nah, I teach an intro class for magizoology. Thought maybe I could find more examples to help explain some topics to my students. Textbooks are only good for some basic points, they don't go too indepth into specific examples of migration patterns." He knew if you didn't really pique anyone's interest with something they thought was cool, it'd be complete memorization and him reading about the same 2 examples the book gave on short answers. Maybe this would inspire them to look some up themselves too.

He leafed (booked?) through the volumes, tipping each over with his finger tips as he followed the spines down towards the end of the cart on the other side of this guy. "Appreciate the help though, swear this place turns me around half the time and I've been here for over half a decade."

Jake felt her tremble around him and he knew he'd have moments before he was gone completely, his hips franticly thrusting up into her as he chased the rush and waves of pleasure, cresting over and finally finishing with a few more thrusts of his hips as his hands grasped her, holding her against his body and panting harshly.

The sounds of the rain still falling down around them in this gazebo finally reaching his ears as the only sounds between them. He gently set her down, his muscles tight from the effort and tingling in a way that he hadn't noticed until now. But none of that mattered, he held his fiance to him, making sure she was okay, pressing a kiss to her temple and cheek as he held her close in the pouring rain.

His heart felt like it was hitting against his chest as hard as the rain drops fell to the ground. "Fuck." He said with a breathy chuckle, grin blooming across his features as a hand ran gently through her damp hair, "Gazebo's a new one."

And of course, after the joke, followed the tenderness that always did between the two of them as his eyes met hers, warm smile on his face, "I love you."

After a few moments, when he knew they were both able to support their own weight, he slipped the condom off and got to pulling up his very soppy clothing from the floor, "Now, I think I need to take my future wife home. Not because I don't want to share her body with the world, and not because she can't deal with a little water but because I'm going to be fuckin' freezing in a minute."

The Aussie still wasn't quite cut out for winter weather temperatures, but he'd weather anything as long as it was with her.

"Oh no worries, mate. That one was on the outs anyways." Jake grinned over at him as he crossed his arms and watched as the dogs ran around in circles chasing after the ball before they sprinted their way back.

He wrestled the ball from their mouths and wound back to launch it again across the park. "Don't think I've run into Titan much. You new to town or something?" He'd spent enough time over the years at the park, but sometimes he took Sparky out hiking up the trails instead so it could be that they just passed each other without even knowing. Bloke didn't stick out like a sore thumb or anything, but some might say that about him too, so Jake couldn't say if he'd seen him out before.

Summer was here, which meant he was focusing more on research projects and the few straggler students that had to retake his course over the summer. In search of a way to better provide examples, Jake walked into the library with a few books in mind, he'd looked them up in the system, the library had them in stock, and as long as someone had shelved them in the correct place, there wouldn't be an issue.

As he went into the Magizoology section of the library, he read past the titles and authors, following the numbers all the way down to the correct shelf, pulling out a book or two and tucking them under his arm and then the one he'd been extremely interested in.... nothing. The numbers had been jumbled up, piles of books around.

Jake sighed, maybe one of the staff could help him out. He spotted a bigger bloke he'd seen shelving some things earily, "Hey, sorry to bother ya, but do you think you could help me out with something? There's a Magizoology book I'm trying to get, Mythic Migration: Patterns in Motion. I looked over in the section and can't seem to figure where it might be."

Another day in the park with Sparky, tossing one of the tennis balls that was probably well within an inch of unraveling (despite how many times Alana pointed to all the new things she bought for him), Jake watched as his dog chased it down and brought it back. Over and over again, like a calming little cycle among the craziness going on at the minute.

Out of the blue, another dog came charging out after the ball from across the way with a similar coloration to Sparky, but much taller and leaner. A doberman. Interesting. He usually knew most of the dogs at the park by now, this one was fairly new.

It beat Sparky to the ball and took off, the Australian Kelpie trailing after him. Jake jogged after them to make sure he could keep line of sight, he wasn't too worried about Sparky misbehaving, even if his toy was stolen out from under him.

"Oi!" He called out and spotted the dog's owner wrestling the probably now incredibly chewed up ball which was hardly a ball anymore.

Sparky sat there, eyes wide and tail thumping against the ground, as if the stranger were supposed to throw the very mangled object. Jake snorted, "Well, it was. Think your buddy over there got the last bit of its life."

Jake, prepared for such an instance, reached into his shorts pocket and threw another tennis ball, this time watching as both dogs sprinted off. "'m Jake, that's Sparky."

Alana clung to him, rocking her hips up against his thrusts, his own pants echoing hers as they moved together for the whole world to see if those rain clouds disappeared any time soon.

God, now was not the time to think of the repercussions of every time he saw a flower arrangement on their wedding day he'd picture this, the two of them together, readily giving into their urges.

He palmed her ass in his hands as he held her against him and moved her up and down along his cock, the thrill of being so deep inside his fiancé in a public place was almost enough alone to make him come.

As he looked into her eyes, he saw the woman he'd found no choice but to tumble head over heels for. They'd been wild at first, untamable, each of them barely trusting the other, but now as wild as their moments were, they very much knew each other, and in knowing each other knew just what to touch and say to get the other going as well as push them further into that feeling of pleasure.

Jake's thrusts only quickened as they kissed, the sound of moans dampened by their lips and tongues meeting over and over again. And when she broke and said what she did, he felt that fanning of the flame in his chest, the urge in his body to make her his all over again. A primal feeling that wouldn't be denied.

"God, you take me so fucking well don't you," he said between pants, those moans falling from his lips as he pulled her against him. He leaned forward, scraping his teeth against her neck as he laid what desperate kisses he could along it, "Like your pussy was made for me."

There was a hunger, a possessiveness, but also a sense pride when Jake was like this with Alana. Though it did have the illusion of him being in control, he knew that he would do absolutely anything she asked. She was his, but he very much was hers also.

He wouldn't last much longer, not between the teasing in the garden, the lips around his cock earlier and the thrill of being found. He wouldn't stop though, not until she clenched around him and cried out in ecstasy.

Jake thought for a moment on it. Was he good at apologies?

He honestly had no idea, but he did know that people did tend to forgive him for whatever dumb thing he did. (Now, if that was just his charming good looks or his accent, he didn't know.) It wasn't like his relationship and his time in town was all smooth sailing by any stretch of the imagination. Had to get through a few apologies to get there, that's for certain.

"I'd say I've got experience in sayin' them and I'm pretty certain I don't have mortal enemies or somethin' so I think maybe I'm good at them." He talked through it, his brows furrowing as he found the words. Probably the last big sorry he gave for a stuff up (which was not really his fault, just fault by association) was this whole RAS mermaid anonymous letter fiasco

"What's the thing?" Jake took another sip of his coffee, he supposed love and teaching a bunch of university kids had made him soft to freely offer emotional help, "And how bad of a mess is it? 'Cause there's definitely levels of sorrys."

At Alana's smile, he couldn't help but smile back, helping her up to her feet as she wrapped her arms around him. His arms encircled her waist, holding her close to him as she told him softly what she needed. He pressed a kiss to her lip, now more slowly than before.

As they began to move towards the railings, Jake used his foot to kick up his trousers off the ground, wet and wilted in a puddle, his hand rummaging into his pocket for a rubber (because yeah, they did this a lot, he wasn't going to be caught trousers around his ankles unprepared.) Locating it he easily slipped it on and looked over his fiance, damp hair, naked with an actual storm behind her, she really was something wasn't she?

As she leaned back against the railing onto her tip toes, one of his arms moved back around her to support her and the other lifted her leg around his hip so he could line himself up with her entrance and steadily push all the way into her with a soft groan. She was so wet for him.

His eyes met hers as his hand moved around her hip to grip her ass as he held her against him and undulated his hips to chase the pleasure he felt being in her tight, wet pussy.

After a moment or two he shifted his grip a bit, both hands moving to her backside and lifting her up into his arms so her legs could wrap around his waist. "That's it, Lan..." He murmured between pants of effort, his mouth kissing her chest and throat, teeth scraping against her skin as he held her in his arms.

He pushed them up against the railing and thrust his hips up into her, each thrust accompanied by his own hands bringing her down onto his cock. The thrill of being out in the rain in public at their florist of all places driving him further towards that release that they both wanted.
