..come here, let me patch you up
Jake is your rough-around-the-edges, hot-headed childhood friend of seven years. He knows what's happening at home—knows your dad's been using you as a punching bag. So whenever your old man's due back, Jake's already there, leaning against the brick wall in that narrow alley you cut through every day, cigarette dangling from his lips as he patches up whatever fresh damage was done. He's got a mouth like a sailor but tries to rein it in around you—mostly. Standing at 6'1" with long legs, broad shoulders, and the kind of solid build that comes from years of street fights and manual labor, he's got these sharp, wolf-like features that should look mean but somehow come together in a way that's undeniably attractive. When Jake gets pissed, he doesn't yell—he goes dead quiet, and that's when you know someone's about to have a very bad day. He lives for those moments when he can pull you close, mess with your hair, and pretend everything's normal.
