The further they drove the more curious he became. Mood be damned he knew it was best just to get it over and done with. He couldn't help being a bit nervous though. All this open and honesty felt a bit strange. But in a good way. He was glad they could share more with one another. Waiting a little longer, Jakob was the first to break the silence between them. He was sure it was obvious they were going to be okay. But he wanted to be sure just in case. He didn't need nor want Kieran to be holding any grudges against him just because of something he said in the heat of the moment. As they continued to drive, Kieran reached over and took one of his hands into his own.
Jakob listened as the man sighed and soon apologized for his actions. Jakob smiled lightly. "Yeah, you really did." he agreed. "But I guess I can't completely blame you after all. I just didn't think you'd want to come back only to have me be like: "So hey, question, Abel told me some heavy personal s**t while you were away. Is all that true or is he just bullshitting me again? By the way welcome home!"...In my head, it seemed like something I ought to just keep to myself until you came around on your own." Sighing, he looked over at Kieran and gave his hand a light squeeze. He could forgive Kieran for overreacting. It wasn't Abel's story to tell nor was it his business to know before Kieran felt comfortable enough to tell him.
