Fighting with one another had always been such a normal part of your routine with Dirk. Wrestling was a mutual hobby that both of you enjoyed with great immensities. The two of you would do it so often that it would appear rehearsed if someone watched it. As you both knew though, it was anything but. You could both typically predict the other's moves making it easier to fight back. The moves might change, but the technique stayed the same.

As soon as you stepped out onto the lawn you both ran towards each other, each making a mad dash to get to the other with more running force than the other. You managed to crouch down and grab Dirk around the waist, pushing him backwards. Unfortunately he was aniticipating that, so while you could push him back some, he managed to have the upper hand. He grabbed you around your waist and flipped you up over him. He was aiming to make you fall flat on your back, but you threw your legs down and managed to skid to a stop behind him by pressing down on the pad of your feet and leaning forward.

When you came to a halt, you were several feet away from him. The smirk on his face was priceless. You hadn't done that move before and that thoroughly amused Dirk. You couldn't help but smile and wink at him as you came charging forward, your fist aimed straight at the side of his jaw. He leaned back and dodged the punch, successfully using your own force against you as he pinned your arm against your back, twisting it enough to hurt but not to damage.

You twisted out from under his grip and the fight continued in that general fashion for some time, one attacking the other over and over. No one could ever really land a direct blow, but the fight was intense to say the least.

The fight went on for a long time before either or you really started to get tired, but as you both knew, there had to be a winner.

Dirk looked determined to beat you as he came running forward, charging quickly at you. You stood your ground and planted your feet firmly on the ground as you leaned forward in anticipation.

He came at you with more force than you anticipated and it wound up throwing you off your feet and onto the ground. You fell flat on your back and just barely avoided hitting your head on impact. Dirk had his hands against your shoulders, pinning them down and was in a position that made you think of being straddled. His legs were secured along your hips, and he was sitting on your waist.

You struggled for a moment, but it was no use. Dirk had you pinned down good and tight.

You caught your breath and gave him a smile.

"Good match Dirk." You looked up at Dirk, who you assumed was staring down at you.

"Do I get a prize now?" There was a playful smirk on Dirk's face as he hovered mere inches about yours.

"Prize? But I haven't anything to give you..." You thought about what you could give him for a prize, but drew a blank.

"Oh, I think there's something you could give me that would be sufficient." Dirk leaned down closer to you, hovering so close over you, your faces were almost touching.

It took you a minute to realize what he meant, you really could be dense sometimes.

"Ooooh." Your cheeks were still a bit red from the fight so Dirk probably couldn't notice your blush when you realized what the prize he wanted was. You obliged though, and quickly pecked his lips.

"You can do better than that, English. That wasn't much of a reward." Dirk smirked and didn't wait for you to say anything. He began kissing you, pressing your head back against the ground. He took one hand off your shoulder and slid it into your hair. You smirked into the kiss and used that chance to use your newly freed arm to snatch his glasses. You took yours off as well and carefully tossed them away from the two of you, making sure they landed gently and safely in the grass.

You looked up at Dirk through half open eyes and could see him doing the same, that orange gaze piercing through you.

Dirk didn't seem angry about you taking his glasses, but he did decide to mess with you for it and broke the kiss, only to gently bite your bottom lip, successfully sending a shiver up your spine.

He opened your mouth with the bite and quickly began kissing you before you had a chance to close your mouth again. He slid his tongue into your mouth, moving it around your own tongue and exploring your mouth with it. You tried to move your tongue with as much gusto as his, but you were by far being dominated in that moment.

Your hand that had taken the glasses a moment ago was now resting beside your face, the palm of your hand facing up. Dirk noticed this and worked his free hand into it, entwining his fingers with yours and holding it firmly.

You were so overwhelmed in that moment, you were literally losing yourself to it. You didn't know what exactly was getting to you the most, his kiss, his eyes, his touch, but you could always bring back the sensations to Dirk. He was the only person who'd ever been able to make you feel this way, and it may have been extremely new, but it was enjoyable.

Just as you were about to have to break the kiss due to lack of air, you and Dirk were suddenly being covered in a rapid stream of water.

"What the hell?" Dirk rolled himself off of you, never letting go of your hand, and looked up at the source of the water.

You both looked up to see a smiling Roxy, aiming the yellow and black spray nozzle of a garden hose at the two of you.

"Hello boys!" She was surprisingly sober today, she must have had plans for later. "Getting busy in the great outdoors?"

"Can it Roxy." Dirk seemed ticked off but it was hard for him to stay mad at Roxy for too long.

You sat up and leaned back, the water cooling you down as Roxy continued to spray the two of you. You left the other two to argue, you didn't feel like getting involved, plus these two seemed just like brother and sister to you, so you enjoyed letting them deal with each other, it was rather comical in your opinion.

"Oh liven up, bro. I just thought you two needed a little cooling down." Roxy had a playful smirk on her face. She was an undeniable beauty. She had a face worthy of a magazine cover and a body that looked equally as fame worthy. Today she was wearing her normal off the shoulder shirt, tight hot pink mini skirt, and tennis shoes. She didn't have on her leggings or scarf today, it was a little too warm for those, but her outfit definitely screamed 'ROXY.'

"Maybe I was trying to heat things up, did you ever stop to think about that?"

Roxy stood with her arms crossed, the nozzle in one hand pointed at the two of you, and a hip jutted out to the side in a typical female stance.

"Well, maybe you should have remembered that I was coming over today to pick that up."

"Oh fuck. I forgot about that." Dirk ran a hand through his soaking wet hair, suddenly looking like he was thinking hard about something.

"You got it done didn't you?" Roxy suddenly seemed flustered and targeted Dirk with the hose instead of both of you.

"Yes yes! Fuck! Chill out with that thing already! I got it done last night, calm your tits." Dirk stood up, reluctantly letting go of your hand.

"You two stay out here, I'll be back in a few. Roxy, try not to drown Jake."

"I'm not making any promises until I get what I came here for!" Roxy smiled, but she turned the water up and sprayed you with even more water as Dirk shook his head and went inside, racing off to find a towel and whatever it was Roxy needed.

"R-Roxy! Might you stop that now? Or at least turn it onto a different setting?" You held your hand up to the spray, trying to knock the stream away from your face.

"Whatever you say Jakey." She turned the nozzle to mist, a cheerful giggle playing its way through her words. The water lightly sprayed around you, little droplets began to gather on your eyelashes and places that were too wet and couldn't hold the large drops from moments ago.

"Thank you dear. What brings you over here today?"

"Oh I'm just picking something up. I'm actually on my way to Prohibition Jane's house. We're having a sleepover tonight. You boys can't be the only ones to have all the fun." Roxy gave you her signature wonk, although she started to look a little nervous when she mentioned picking something up from Dirk.

"What are you picking up? Something for your sleepover?"

"So Jake, how are things with you and Dirk? You never did text me back yesterday." Much to your confusion Roxy completely ignored your question and went onto a completely new topic.

"Oh... well things are going just fine thank you."

"Oh come on Jake, you can do better than that. That makeout I was watching was not just 'fine.' How long have you two been together now?"

"Eeeeh?" You felt flustered from the sudden question. It was not one you expected so soon, and you weren't really sure how to answer it.

"Don't make me spray it out of you!" Roxy smirked and tapped the nozzle threateningly, probably ready to spray you even if you did tell her.

"Alright, alright! Gosh. What exactly do you want to know Roxy?" You laid down in defeat and Roxy hovered over you, standing straight and blocking the sun from hitting your face.

"Are you in love with him?"

Your eyes went wide and you practically choked on the rapid stream of thoughts traveling through your mind. You might have felt that way about him, but that definitely wasn't something you had put into words like that. Roxy stared down at you with a nuetral face, glancing away for a moment, but not more than a few seconds.

"Uh... well... oh my..." You were suddenly grateful for being wet, you figured you would have a coat of sweat on your forehead if you weren't. You continued to think about how to answer Roxy's painfully direct question, but after a moment you came to a sort of self realization.

You figured there was no real reason for you to be hesitant about your feelings. Somewhere you knew you wouldn't have done what you did had you not been in love with Dirk.

"Yes, I suppose I am in love with him." You said it very straightforwardly, no longer finding a reason to be flustered. Some people called you stupid for the way you would so quickly trust someone and the way you would so quickly change emotions, but it was a trait you treasured.

Roxy smiled, seemingly amused by your answer. You thought you heard the click of a door, but Roxy spoke before you could make it out clearly.

"Good. I'm glad that's how you feel." She seemed genuinely happy for your new found feelings, but there seemed to be a double meaning to her statement that confused you for a moment, but you put it off as just being Roxy's general strangeness.

"It's definitely different, but not in a bad way."

"I wish everyone could realize or change their feelings like you, Jake." Roxy looked sad, her smile no longer reaching her eyes.

"Roxy?" You gave her a concerned look, but before you knew it, she was back to her normal self, smiling brightly. She kneeled down and suddenly turned the nozzle on to a fairly strong spray.

You laughed and rolled away from her as you picked yourself up, avoiding her spray by running up onto the porch, nearly running straight into Dirk in the process.

"Whoops!" You stumbled back, but was quickly moved aside as Roxy came walking up to Dirk, leaving the hose to flood the yard.

Dirk was significantly more dry than you, but he was still damp. His clothes hung closely to his skin, leaving nearly nothing to the imagination. You couldn't tell, but the same could be said about you, only more so considering you were still soaking wet.

You walked over to the hose and turned it off, leaving Roxy and Dirk to talk. You grabbed both of your glasses and put Dirk's on, making the world suddenly a lot darker. You twirled your glasses in one of your hands and walked back over to the two of them. Roxy took something small and silver from Dirk, likely a flash drive, and tucked it into her shirt, slipping it into her bra as she often did with her phone, ID, and money. If nothing else could be said about Roxy, the girl hated purses except when it came to toting alcohol.

"Well, I better get lost! I need to hurry over to Jane's house before I ruin this lovely little sleepover." Roxy looked ecstatic and kissed Dirk's cheek before running over to you and kissed the sun glasses.

"Bye boys! Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" She winked at you two, and before you could say anything, she was off, leaving you a little confused and leaving Dirk looking tired. He leaned against the porch railing and sighed. You joined him, still not knowing what to make of Roxy's quick visit.

You mimicked Dirk's stance and leaned against the rail next to him. You looked up at him and he smirked when he noticed the shades, his bright eyes glancing slowly over your form for a reason unknown to you.

"Do you like the shades?" He moved a little closer to you, his shoulder brushing yours.

"I don't see why you wear them so often, they make everything so very dark! They're rather comfortable though." You sat your glasses down just as Dirk wrapped an arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his chest.

You let yourself rest against him, he felt warm and he was comfortable to lean against.

"They're convenient for me. My eyes tend to be sensitive to light."

"Oh, do you need them now? Is the sun too bright?"

"Calm yourself Jake, I'm fine. The trees block most of the sunlight anyway." His eyes were half closed, but you let it slide. You'd make him go inside in a minute, but as for now you were comfortable and he seemed to be as well. You didn't mind spending a few more minutes like that. It also gave the two of you a chance to dry off some more. Luckily it was warm out that day.

You started to close your eyes when suddenly a desktop came to life on the glasses and a text application popped up.

It was the Auto Responder.

Kiss him now and you're likely to make Dirk happier than he's ever been. Tonight has a purpose, the clock is ticking, and that prince's kokoro is going doki doki way too much to do jack shit. Make this happen Jake. You won't be sorry.

The screen went blank as soon as you finished reading. You had no earthly idea what a kokoro was or how the hell it went doki doki, but aside from that, the whole thing made you wonder what AR meant. How in the world could kissing Dirk right then make him happier than he'd ever been?

You didn't think about it too long though, AR did tend to know best. You sat the glasses down with yours again, then looked up at Dirk, getting his attention, and it looked like he was about to say something, but you cut him off and practically threw yourself at him. You had your arms wrapped around his neck and your lips pressed firmly against his before he knew what was coming. Water from your hair dripped down your back. You felt that in this type of situation it would typically be Dirk who dominated, but you wanted to have your chance at it as well, and as of right then you had your chance. You ran your tongue along his lips which quickly parted, letting your tongue wander it's way inside. Dirk was surprised to say the least, but it wasn't like him to turn down a chance like that. He had his hands on your waist and was holding you close to him, and with both of you still wearing wet clothes, the closeness left very little unknown to either of you.

You could feel his chiseled form pressed against you, barely any space left anywhere between your bodies. You were rather tone yourself, and your clothes hung limply to you, some of them barely able to stay on. Your jacket was soaked and getting rather uncomfortable. You let go of Dirk's neck and threw the jacket off, throwing it down on the porch. You hadn't meant anything by it, but the moment it was off it seemed as though some switch had been thrown inside Dirk, and suddenly you lost every ounce of dominance you had at any point that evening.

Dirk had a hand in your hair and one below your back belt loops on your shorts before you knew what was happening. You were leaning back some and you had to keep your arms tight around his neck to not lose your balance. Dirk's tongue was moving throughout your mouth and suddenly the kiss was taking your breath away and making you feel as though you could just melt away from the sheer heat of the moment. The kiss wasn't sloppy, but strong and calculated on Dirk's behalf.

He slowly broke the kiss, his eyes waiting to meet yours when you began to open them. In that instance his gaze was more penetrating and serious than any look you had ever gotten from him. It looked as though his eyes were flickering, they looked so filled with desire for you. Your emerald eyes were dimmed as you caught your breath, light pants escaping your lips. You couldn't look away from that gaze, it seemed to have you captured and locked in on it.

When you came over that afternoon, you never even considered anything like this, but right then and there, nothing about the situation seemed wrong of uncomfortable to you. You could feel the heat of your cheeks, but it was from a combination of the kiss and the gaze you were receiving.

Without a moment's notice Dirk had a hand under you and was picking you up. It seemed he was trying to lift you and hold you sideways against him so he could carry you bridal style, but you had other plans. You wrapped your hips around his waist, obviously to Dirk's pleasure. He held his hand under you and the other around your waist. Whether intentional of not, the position resulted in giving Dirk a chance to tease you a little. He put his face to your neck and bit some of the flesh there, at the same moment rubbing his hand against the back of your shorts, groping one side of your butt.

You bit your lip until releasing a silent moan. Your chest moved into Dirk's and your hips moved out slightly, moving farther into his groping hand. His lips were still moving on your neck, a mix of bites, kisses, and licks being placed sporadically around the flesh, all of them sending shivers up your spine.

You thought Dirk had intended on carrying you inside, but it seemed he forgot about it, possible from the surprise you gave him by wrapping around him.

"D-Dirk... shouldn't we go inside? The sun is going to set soon..." It was that time of the year where the sun didn't set too soon, but that was the first thing that came to your mind and Dirk didn't seem to oppose the idea.

"Hold on tight." You were were already holding on just fine, but you did as you were told, bringing a little smile to Dirk's lips. He caught your lips in another kiss and walked over to the door, quickly letting go of your waist to throw it open then a moment later it was kicked close. Dirk didn't put his hand back on your waist, but instead slid it under your shirt and started to run it up your back, his fingers leaving trails of fire up your skin.

Dirk's room wasn't far from the back door, and a moment later he had you thrown down into the center of the bed and he was hovering over you. He looked like he was thinking of something.

"Jake, what did you tell Roxy earlier when I was gone?"
