Rekker shrugged. "He is your boyfriend, not mine."
Rekker would stay close by while the Finn tried to carry the American. He was drunk too but there was no way Rekker was going to try and argue with Niko. It was safer for Rekker if he wasn't carrying a flirty drunk around.
"Give me your keys first so I can open the doors."
Niko's eyes went a little wide when Rekker used the word boyfriend. Oh. Did this mean he was? The Finn felt himself smile and stroke Jake's hair a little as they helped the American along.
"My boyfriend?--oh well...uh yeah..."
The Finn pulled out his keys one-handed passing them to Rekker while holding onto Jake. The man was two inches taller than Niko and a little heavier.
"I have to carry mine all the time too." Rekker mentioned as he took the keys.
"If you need help let me know." Rekker stepped out and held the elevator door so it stayed open for the two that were slower. Jake was starting to pass out. Holding on with his head and face against Niko's neck. His legs aren't working well so the hall is going to be a struggle unless someone carries him.
Niko was too drunk to remember who Rekker's boyfriend was or if he'd heard it from one of the band members. Walking out with Jake, Niko managed to get man lower so he could bend down with his knees and lift up, carrying the American in his arms.
"Ok---let's go. My room is down the corridor on the left."
Jake was like a sack of potatoes and was causing Niko's back to twinge a little but he didn't care.
"Bjorn is my fiance." Rekker was walking well ahead of them to get the door open. He recognized the struggling to carry Jake but he wasn't about to say anything. There was pride and other things caught up in carrying your partner when they needed it.
"He's the loud, tall blonde, always drunk and fixing his hair." Rekker clarified as he opened the door for Niko and turned on the lights inside. Jake was grumbling and wrapped his arms around the Finn's neck like he was about to curl up and sleep.
"Oh, you are engaged? I'm happy for you both. Lähetän siunauksen. It means I send you a blessing in my language."
Niko smiled and wondered how many others were engaged or married on the tour since there were so many rock stars. No doubt this loud, tall drunken boy would show up and Niko could meet him properly.
"We're here, Jake. I'm putting you down onto the soft couch now---"
The Finn gently sliding Jake onto the couch and letting go.
"A few months ago." Rekker recognized the Finnish. Aarne had said the same thing to him even if he couldn't recall what it meant without being told. Rekker would stay long enough to make sure they were both safe and settled.
Jake laid down but didn't let go of the grip he had on Niko's neck. Rekker could only laugh. "You might be sleeping on the couch too."
"Then, congratulations. I shall meet this Bjorn in time I'm sure."
Niko didn't know what to do so just resigned himself to laying down next to Jake, holding onto him, even if he did still smell a little. It wasn't too bad---they could always shower once Jake felt well enough after his rest.
"Once Jake is up and not feeling sick anymore I'll clean him up."
"You can't avoid it." Rekker laughed and was about to leave since they seemed ok. "IF you need anything you can text again."
Rekker didn't know if Jake would get sick again or Niko might later on.
Jake was nestling so hard against Niko that they might have fallen off the couch but he's soon passed out. Once Jake is asleep Niko would be able to get up as his grip on Niko went limp.
Niko nodded, suddenly feeling really tired and aching through lifting Jake and being drunk. He slumped down onto the couch next to the American and tried to keep his eyes open, making sure Jake would be ok just watching him---
---then Niko felt his eyes get heavy and he passed out.
Jake was going to sleep for a long time. It was only when his bladder wouldn't let him sleep any longer that he finally started to stir. He could feel someone laying on him or against him but the light was too bright. He didn't know what time it was or where he was for that matter.
Rubbing his eyes, which smudged his eyeliner worse than it already was, he tried to remember what went on the night before. At least he was still in his pants so that was a start.
Niko was still asleep snoring softly and hadn't realised Jake was now stirring awake. It had been a crazy night before and the young Finn was having dreams about jumping around on stage playing guitar with his new friend, Jake. He mumbled in Finnish, whilst turning around slightly on the couch; his right leg sliding over Jake's in a natural reaction.
The leg got his attention back on who was leaning on him. He's relieved to see it is both someone he knows and they are also dressed. His head was foggy and everything was itchy. That was all the sand probably.
He wanted a shower and started trying to manuver himself off the couch without waking up Niko. He also wanted coffee. He'd fight someone for coffee right now. It takes some work but he does finally get up and untangled from the Finn. Who knows if he's still sleeping at this point. Jake imagined he was given how his own head was feeling.
The moving around on the couch jolted Niko awake as he cried out in Finnish, eyes wide open and arms swinging around slightly. He was disorientated slightly, taking a few moments to right himself and look around.
Jake licked his teeth and scowled. "That's what that is." He could still taste that he had been sick and it only reminded him of the sand and how badly he wanted a shower.
"My head's pounding like there's a hammer on it." He sat on the arm of the couch to look at the Finn still laying on the couch. "Are you?"
Niko watched Jake lick his teeth and noticed a flash of those fangs the American had. They were so cool to the young Finn he couldn't help but stare and be impressed. Right now though---they both needed a wash.
"Let me start the shower up for us because we both stink and have sand everywhere."
The boy could feel a few grains in between his feet and other places he didn't like.
Jake lifted a brow because that sounded a lot like he was just invited to shower with someone but he didn't want to assume. Still, it had his eyes drifting over the Finn's body. He seemed to remember kissing him more than once the night before but Jake wasn't sure. "Are you going to shower first?"
Jake found his jacket from the night before and dug around in the pockets until he found the headache meds he carried. Usually he used them for eye strain while working but for now this was to help the hangover.
Niko was inviting Jake to shower with him but it was more to get all the disgusting sick smell off the man more than anything. As for where it would go after---that was anyone's guess.
"I thought we could wash each other? It's a custom where I come from that you share a bath with a friend to keep warm and save water. Also it's fun to make friends that way."
The boy offered a cheeky smile and began pulling off his shirt ready to start up the shower.
Jake wondered if he should warn him that Americans definitely wouldn't think of this as something friendly. Jake was already shirtless but pulled off his boots while watching the Finn undress. If it wasn't for the head punding he was waiting to fade he might be doing more than watching.
"Americans don't do that." He thought it was worth mentioning. Both for Niko's continued safety around other people, but also because Jake's thoughts were crashing right into the gutter. However, he's not shy about his body either and strips off his pants while trying to shake off the sand from his jeans. At least he hadn't thrown up on himself.
"I know and understand people have different cultures it's just me sharing mine with you."
Niko had noticed Jake's rather impressive tattoo down his back which was vampire related, of course it was. The man had fangs and loved blood so this all fitted with the whole theme.
"Your tattoo is impressive. Shall I call you Vampire Man?"
The Finn giggled and then found himself staring once Jake removed his pants.
Jake sobered and got serious. "I know but other people might take advantage of it."
Jake could internally admit that he wanted to take advantage of the situation but unlike others he'd never force himself on someone. Other people? Davy's injuries last year still lingered in his mind.
"I've been called worse." Jake winked at Niko as he tossed his clothes off to the side. He's not a shy man about things and he can't help but feel his body reacting to the idea of getting into a shower with someone.
"Are you going to finish undressing or keep staring?" Jake teased and slid his hand over Niko's low back, there's a little pressure from his sharp nails but nothing that will leave marks. He's testing to see if this is actually friendly or something a little more.
"You are right. Well, I won't be asking anyone else to share my shower with me today so you are lucky."
Niko giggled boyishly and unbuttoned his jeans, shrugging them off and shaking them the same as how Jake did to get the sand off. Fuck! It got everywhere! The Finn wasn't used to the warm beaches of LA and was now trying to shake his socks free of sand too.
"Worse? What other names have people called you? Count Dracula or something like that?"
The boy thought it was fun that Jake was into horror stuff, fangs and blood. Now, the man was standing inside his room completely naked. Niko's eyes roaming all over the American without even realising it.
"What? Oh. I'm nearly finished---"
The nails got a gasp from the boy who looked up at Jake with a cheeky smile. They felt nice.
Jake can't help but watch Niko pulling his pants off. He's boyish and charming.
"Nothing nice." Jake mentioned. "I'm seen as a freak in a lot of places." It was one of the reasons the film industry felt good. It was one place where his interests weren't strange.
"I don't mind if you look." Jake whispered as he walked past to get in the shower. "..or touch."
He'd flirt, flirt a lot, unless he was rejected. That gasp had sounded inviting and now Jake wanted to make sure Niko understood that he's interested in more than a friendly shower. That is, as long as the Finn is too.
