Of course he was taking this seriously. It wasn't everyday he got to ask a guy to sneak behind his befriends' back. Kieran had to understand that this was all new for him too. The last thing he wanted was to be caught by an angry Abel. He didn't see any reason that that man needed to know about them. Just as he saw no reason that his own boss and colleagues should know. He could only imagine what Cornelius might say or do if he were to find out. Nothing good, no doubt.
Jakob took a moment to think before spilling the rest of his terms. He didn't mind if Kieran laughed this time. But he was dead serious about the choking bit. A little light choking was all fun and games until the world started to get hazy. He saw nothing wrong with attempting to defend himself if Kieran got out of hand. If he wanted to decorate his neck with the usual way with kisses and bite marks, that was fine. But not with a ******** hand print. He couldn't afford to have Cornelius getting the wrong idea and asking unnecessary questions.
He understood why Kieran might be reluctant to coming over. He honestly wasn't ever expecting him to come over just because of his living situation. He listened to the man speak, and nodded along quietly. "Actually that's probably a fair point. Some of those guys are well connected and have been apart of other groups in the past. They'd probably be able to spot Abel's BFF in a heartbeat." he replied honestly. As the conversation turned towards talk of going out, he could not help smiling a bit. "Oh? Just where you would take me? And don't say fast food. I'll break up with now if you do." he teased.
