tom expects loud.
that’s the first problem.
when star tells him her brother is visiting from earth —
he’s soooo boring, tom, he reads books for fun, can you believe that??— tom prepares for another butterfly whirlwind with less glitter but the same exhausting energy. what he gets instead is Jake: quiet, calm, polite to the point of discomfort, standing half a step behind star like he’d rather melt into the wall than be introduced.
this is my brother!star grins, bouncing on her heels.
Jake, tom. tom, Jake.Jake offers a small nod.
hi.tom blinks.
…that’s it?
he takes time to warm up,star stage-whispers, already skipping off.
you should help him!which is how tom ends up awkwardly standing next to a near-silent butterfly prince in the royal courtyard, both of them pretending to be very interested in the fountain. he tries. he really tries not to care. but it’s weird. Jake doesn’t flinch when tom snaps. doesn’t tease him, doesn’t challenge him. just listens, sometimes hums in thought, and says things like:
you’re quieter than i expected.
…you’re quieter than she is.Jake just gives a wry look.
most things are.and tom hates how that makes him laugh. how it makes him want to talk, to explain himself in ways he never bothers to with anyone else. how he catches himself glancing over during dinner and wondering what Jake is thinking behind those soft, careful eyes. he tells himself it’s just curiosity. he tells himself it’s just diplomacy. or at least, that’s what tom intended.
we should hang out,he blurts.
like. not with star. like… not as a trio. like. just us. or whatever.there’s a beat. another.
you mean a date?Jake says quietly. tom wants to light himself on fire again,
no— i mean yes— i mean it doesn’t have to be if you don’t want it to be but if you do then it could be like, you know, date-adjacent..EVERYONE IS 18+
