Jake... [He wants to tell him it's not fair, that he shouldn't get to be as selfish about this as he does everything else, and tries to resist the pull of him. But the words get choked down in the tears and he can't get them out, and his resistance with Jake has always been laughable and so closer he goes.
His grip on Jake's shirt loosens to slide up around his neck, and take hold in the middle of his shoulder blades, tight and pulling just as much. Like if he can just get Jake closer, everything he feels will just stop. Like it's as simple as it is with the children, a hug and a kind word heals all wounds.
Dirk lets the glasses slip from his nose, lets his head drop onto Jake's shoulder and stops trying to pretend he doesn't feel anything about this ]
