"Oh yeah, I'd love to tell Toby about this so he can shit on both of us. Maybe if it would only be embarrassing to you." Jett scrubbed his face. He didn't eat anymore after that, stomach too upset. It was doing somersaults, and Jett figured if he ate anymore he'd throw up all over Jeong's nice table.
"We're bullies. We are most definitely bullies. But we're also the most fun bullies and wouldn't stop even if we weren't." Jett quieted as Jeje thanked him for opening up. Jett wasn't an expert at opening up and sharing things about himself, but he was pretty sure you weren't usually thanked for it. Way to make things awkward again, Jeong.
"Er." Jett rubbed the back of his neck frantically, considering something. "You shouldn't thank me for that. Isn't that what I'm supposed to do? Whether you're my partner or just my friend, I'm supposed to be truthful with you, aren't I? Honestly, Jeong," Jett huffed, he hated all this honesty, "there are some things about me you'll probably be better off not knowing."
Yeah... No. He hated the thought of having Toby know about this confession. This needed to be something special between them; not some loud announcement of Jeje's love. Yes, Toby was awesome and cool, but he wasn't at the same stage with him as he was with Jett. They were too different. "Maybe if I say it, but I don't want your big mouth saying it to the entire island." He gave Jett a scoff.
"I really don't care Jett." He gave off a small sigh. "There are things I didn't want you tp know about me, or have." He referred to his body and looked away. "But I dealt with it and I guess it paid off. I mean I get it if you don't want to share everything with me but, yes, I love your honesty." He refrained from saying any more I love yous to the man as he stood up. He walked over to Jett and lifted up his shirt, to check his wound. "It doesn't look any better really."

"I'm not ashamed of the things I've done," Jett clarified, meeting Jeong's eyes. For once, he was sincere. There was no jest in his voice or smile on his face. "I just know you'd never look at me the same. That's why I like you, Jeong. You're all innocent and cute, but strong enough that I can't break you. I always break the fragile things. You're different."
Jett stiffened as Jeong lifted his shirt and peered at his wound. His weakness, right out in the open. It made him want to growl, but he didn't. "It'll get better. Give it a few more days. I just need lots of rest and water. It's happened before." He smiled gently.
Jett tried to get Jeong to let go of his shirt by taking the tiger's hands and holding them. "I'll be yours. Like you are mine. I do like you, Jeong. I'm not sure I'm ready to be all 'I love you'. That's not me. You are special to me, though."
Jeong did feel special. Mostly due to Jett's words; he felt like he mattered to someone. It was rare for him to get all tingly inside with Jett, as the man rarely said anything sweet enough to be thought of as a compliment. This was different. Jeje smiled at him warmly, even though his eyes were glued onto his wound. Good, he wouldn't have to see him blush. "I hope it does yeah. I'l kill however did this to you." Even though there was a large amount of confidence in his voice, Jeong knew that the most he could do was minor damage compared to Jett.
As the wounded man took his hands away from his shirt, he stared into his eyes longingly as he listened to his words. This made him feel like he was the only person that mattered to Jett. Though that was far from true, he knew that the man's words were sincere and honest, which is all he needed. "I'm really glad Jett." He smiled happily at the man as he squeezed his hands. "And I know you saying that is... Yes no like you at all. I won't force you to at all if you feel uncomfortable with it." He leaned up and kissed Jett's nose. "You're special to me too, you always will be no matter what."~
