I'l be thirteen at the end of August," Jake announced proudly, unable to stop himself from making the childish gesture of sticking his chest out in pride.
Missing the smile Lawson gave Wesley (as he was mid-twitch), Jake pulled an apple out of his pocket and started carving slices off of it, sticking one in his mouth.
Holidays?
"Heck yes," Jake nodded, looking back up at Lawson. "It's been a lonnnggggggg year..." he added, staring off into space for a few seconds. "Sit down," Jake smiled, still sounding pretty absent.
Marcus raised an eyebrow at Jake and then let out a small laugh. "Well I do now." He eyed Jake a little closer and this had to be the first time that he had seen him something close to happy. "Oh thirteen eh? That's pretty special. You know becoming a teenager and all." Probably best not tell Jake, the things he had gotten up to when he had been a teenager. Yes some things were definitely best left unsaid.
He flopped down beside Jake and nodded in agreement. "You're telling me. I can't wait to get away for a while and don't think I have forgotten my promise to you either." Marcus, was looking forward to a holiday but he was actually also looking forward to taking Jake to the beach with him.
