Have Yourself a Merry Little Jake-mas by StuckHereWithNoTV (Rated PG)

Fandom: JAKE 2.0
Pairing: slight Jake/Diane
Author on LJ: NA

Why this must be read: A sweet little holiday-themed story which does a lovley job capturing Jake and Diane's friendship.


Diane giggled and watched him slowly start to stare at her with a pensive expression on his face. "What's wrong?" she asked concerned.

Jake shook his head, "Nothing."

She tried looking away but turned back to face him when she noticed he still hadn't stopped staring at her, "What? Tell me."

"It's... it's nothing."

"Jake."

He looked down and remained silent.

"You miss your family," Diane supplied. "Jake, I totally understand. I mean, it's the holidays and we should be spending it with our family and those we care a lot about. Not playing Boggle and telling embarrassing stories with a friend. I mean playing Boggle and telling embarrassing stories isn't a bad thing," she gave a little laugh, "it's actually pretty fun. And it's not that I don't like being with you--I really like being with you--"

"Diane," he cut off her rambling but still kept his gaze down. "That's not what I was thinking about."

"Oh."

"I mean, that was one of things I was thinking about, yeah. I'm really missing my family right now. I've never spent Christmas without them before. But at least I'm still spending the holidays with someone I care a lot about so...."

"Oh," she again murmured, her cheeks growing red. "What were you thinking about then?"

Jake finally looked up, "I was thinking about my life. About my whole situation. About you. About my future."
