JUST A TOUCH OF YOUR HAND pt. 3
pairing: moonboys x fem!reader
summary: jake finally makes his debut to ask the reader a question the boys have been dying to ask. reader gives her answer and jake is just a cutie.
warning: jake (he's a warning, yes), just some nice fluff for ya.
authors note: okay ik a lot of you have been wanting this chapter for a long time (sorry about the long wait, I had a lot going on the past couple of months). this chapter isn't as long as the others but it just felt right to have this one be short and sweet. the next chapter, maybe we'll see some more of marc 😏🤭
word count: 1,028
and then there was jake. it was funny actually. he'd been dreaming of meeting his soulmate since he had gotten the stain. and he had so badly wanted to meet you when you first brushed against their hand on the sidewalk that day.
god how he wanted to meet you. and yet he couldn't make himself front. even when steven or marc would hand it over to him, especially when you'd plan days to meet and spend with him, he just couldn't front.
none of them understood it. it's like he'd freeze up. it was eating him up. he was pretty sure he was in love with you – actually he was positive he was in love with you. and he'd never even actually met you!
you, being the amazing person you were, were so patient with him. whenever you'd see the boys on the days you were going to meet jake, and find out he wasn't fronting, you'd have marc or steven tell him you didn't mind waiting.
"you boys are all worth waiting for," you'd say, making them melt.
and jake would try more to front around you and it just wouldn't happen. he couldn't figure out why. although on a deeper level, he knew why.
he supposed he wasn't much different than marc. as much of a hopeless romantic as he was, he also knew his reputation. it was said reputation that caused him to romanticize the thought of a soulmate. he never really thought himself capable of being loved. if marc thought his hands were stained with blood, jake was swimming in it.
if he was realistic, he couldn't imagine why you would love him. he was ruthless, he could be cold, he had a tendency to shut people out if they got too close.
But he wanted you to get too close. He wanted to able to talk to you, learn about you and not through the other two. He wanted to hold you and comfort you, and be held and be comforted by you.
but like marc, he'd been scared. scared you'd run for it, if you knew him. everyone else did.
and yet here you were: sitting across the table, smiling so wide, eyes so patient, like he's your favorite person in the world. if you kept going, he's sure he would probably cry.
"jake?" you called cautiously, breaking him from his thoughts. his eyes snap to yours, smiling at you. he thinks: 'they're right...the way she says our names is addicting.'
"sí, amor?" he answers softly, but you seem to brighten up even more.
"yes," you simply said.
his eyebrows furrow. had he asked a question?
yes, you did, you bloody idiot!
holy shit...she actually said yes...
"yes?" he repeated, since his alters weren't helping him at all.
you laughed at that, at him seemingly forgetting his own question. he loved that sound.
"you asked me to move in," you reminded him patiently.
"and you said yes?"
"I did."
"but you don't know me," he tries to reason, because how on earth would you have agreed to move in with the mess of these three men?
"I know that i love marc and steven, and if I love them, i already love you too," were you trying to kill him?
"why?"
that threw you for a loop. you hadn't been expecting it. why did you love this man you've never actually met?
"well...for starters, we're soulmates-"
"that doesn't mean that I'm not a terrible person." steven had warned you of this. that he might try to talk of himself like this.
"but you're not-"
"you don't know that."
"except that I do."
"how could you possibly know that?"
"because I just do-"
"amor, that's not an answ-"
"I know because you're a weirdo who wears gloves while he drives a limo. You send a bouquet of my favorite flowers every time you can't front when we planned. I know because I can feel you follow me home every night after work when you're patrolling, making sure I get home safe. I know because marc's told me that you can't pass a cat without petting it. I know because I *know.* You're a *good man,* jake," you say, looking at him completely serious.
and for the first time in a long time, every voice in his head is silent. they're at a loss for words. there's this strange feeling in jake's heart and he's never felt it before.
what is that, he thinks.
that's love, jake.
it feels like a heart attack.
yeah...it's great, innit?
you watch him closely while he's silent, watching to see if you've overstepped somehow. to try and see what he's feeling. amd when he stands, you're worried he's leaving. that he's going to change his mind about wanting you to move in.
but he quickly crosses over to you and he cups your face, gentle as he is urgent, and leans down and kisses you, deeply, passionately. and for a moment, you're confused. but you quickly kiss him back, matching his energy, his passion. after a moment, he pulls away, both of you panting lightly, breathless from the kiss. he presses his forehead to yours, looking into your eyes so intensely you swear he can see your soul.
"te amo jodidamente mucho," he says, voice barely above a whisper.
"I love you too," you say back softly, meaning every word.
jake has feel that twist in his heart again, but he knows what it is now. it's love. and it's strange and foreign but...he thinks he likes it. he feels like he's never smiled so wide in his life. he presses one more soft kiss to your lips before moving back to his seat at the table.
"so...tell me about these gloves you bought me," he grins.
and you start talking about them, explaining every detail about them and why you thought he'd like them. he swears he's never smiled so dopey in his life, talking to you about anything and everything you wanted to talk about. he'd finally fronted and he'll be damned if he doesn't take advantage of every single second he gets with you.

btw do you notice the difference between charles's and max's hands or is it just me going insane over this
because charles' hands are so veiny and big (cue how he held baby leo) and max's are a bit small and delicate and soft compared to his whole stature AND did you see how their hands look clasping with each other
sorry im having some very intense feelings im sorry
HELLO omg no, I also have very intense feelings about this and I don't think we talk about it enough!!!
I was actually having a whole pinterest spiral about this the other day, but it was during my self imposed tumblr ban, so I had to suffer alone, but I can yap today, and let me use this ask to do so
Okay, okay, okay so:
Call me delusional, I don't care, but you can kind of see the difference here in this picture with how they're holding their hands, especially with the veins and fingers
I'm telling you Charles' hand is bigger than Max's, I swear, I think Max just has longer fingers and it throws you off a bit
But Max just has these delicate, pretty little hands and I don't think this fandom talks about that enough, because it's not very top Max coded of him, and there aren't enough of us modern thinkers out there, but I'm here and I can and will talk about Max's pretty hands, and you will listen!!
Because LOOK
Look at his long, thin fingers and the tendons on the back of his hands looking so thin, and somehow his knuckles are just so ridiculously dainty
He just has hands made for shiny things, and he never wears any rings or bracelets, he's always just walking around with them criminally naked like this
But now look at Charles' hands, perpetually bedazzled as they should be of course, but oh my GOD
Because no just look at his palms are so much broader and he's got very noticeably thicker fingers that Max I'm telling you LOOK
It's just asdfghjkl, the forearms, the wrists, the watches, the bracelets, the VEINS
And I feel like we never get a good picture of them doing the handclap, but this one from Monza is so good.
Like look at how Max's hand is just swallowed by Charles'!!!
Like okay, call me ridiculous and delusional, and maybe these specific pictures are a bit research biased, but I don't care, this kind of delusion is an essential practice in fandom shipping to me
But idk, there's just something about how every part of Charles is just a little bit smaller than Max except his hands, (unless we talk about shoulders, but that's a whole different spiral)
He's just one centimetre shorter, he's just a tiny bit leaner, no matter how ripped he gets, I think Max's biceps will always be just a bit bigger than Charles', but his HANDS.
And there's also just something about how Charles never gets his fists out for anything, but in the mad max era especially, but kind of now even, Max is always two seconds away from throwing a punch even if he has hands that just aren't made for that kind of thing
I don't know, in that last picture especially, it looks like Charles' hand just swallows Max's whole
I need them to compare hand sizes right now. For science. And gayness. Mostly gayness
