Draco was quickly storing away every bit of information he learned. Granted, it was easier hearing her explain things. He knew experiencing the differences would be different.

As he talked he was pretty expressive with his hands and it was easy to tell when he was excited or confused by the topic. He did find Jenn enjoyable and could really see how Jake and her connected so easily. He only hoped his parents would accept Jake even if he lied for now and said they were just friends. Even though he didn't want to lie.

Eventually the conversation began to wind down. He glanced at Jake to see how he was holding up.

Jake looked happy. He was sitting back letting them talk, unable to help himself in how pleased he looked that they were getting along. Jenn was One of the most important people in the world to him, right after his grandmother, so when she seemed pleased, he was happy. He knew they would talk again in private as soon as she could manage it.

"Jenn, you need anything from London I could ship? Draco and I are popping there next week," Jake asked and Jenn's eyes lit up.

"A jar of Branston pickles please?? You can't find them anywhere here!"

Which made Jake laugh. "Consider it done."

Draco was glad that he seemed to pass the first test. He thought that was an odd request, but then if you couldn't find that there then he suppose he could understand the urge of wanting the item.

"Yes, I plan on dragging him all London. In return he's dragging me out camping." Draco commented with a mock look of horror at the thought of having to get dirty.

"Is it time for the annual trip?" Jenn asked, laughing at Draco's mock-horror.

"It is. Excited about the torture I will be inflicting on Draco-- I mean all the fun we'll have." He chuckled, leaning on Draco.

"Just bring him back in one piece," She mock-scolded in turn. Then, clearly more to Draco, "don't let him throw you in the lake!"

...."Really now?" Draco turned to face Jake with a look of shock still continuing on with the banter.

"I'm going to simply have to get even with him only when he's least expecting it."

"It was one time and Eddy deserved it!" He held up his hands and tried to look innocent. "Jenn, stop getting me in trouble!"

"That's what big sisters are for." She leaned forward on her hand, smirking towards the camera.

"Being mean?? Yes I agree!"

Draco couldn't help but laugh. She really was putting Jake in his place. "What else am I going to have to watch out for?"

He was going to learn all his secrets before Jake revealed them himself. Briefly he wondered if any of Jake's relationships had been like this. But quickly put that out of his mind not wanting to compare himself to others.

"Don't you dare!" Jake 'threatened' with a wag of his finger.

"Well, my little brother is getting me a jar of pickles-"

"Two!" Jake quickly chirped up, his grin too wide to be anything but playful in this whole business.

Jenn looked to Draco as if helpless. "He drives a good bargain, Draco."

"Alright, the pickles are keeping you safe for now, Jake," Draco replied more amused then anything.

"I will learn all your secrets soon enough."

"That is a dubious line." Complete with a little pout but it melted into a smile again. "Blessed be the pickles." He smiled and looked back to Jenn. "How's school going, anyway?"

With Jake leaning in, head to head with Draco, Jenn told him some about how school was going, life in the states, and her friends. There was never mention of family.

Quietly, Draco listened to the two talk. He did note that no family was mentioned, but understood why. Still it did bother him a little bit.

He left briefly to go get some more tea and to fill Jake's mug as well. He figured he would allow them some brief time alone.

"Thanks," Jake said as he gave a quick smile to Draco, then looked back to his sister. "We should get going, but I was hoping you two would get to chat."

"I should get going, too. I have class in twenty and I like to be early, even if it's next door. Take care of him, Draco, since I can't be there." She flashed a smile and waved. "Love you, Jake!"

"Love you too. Be safe over there." The sibling love was obvious.

He gave a smile in return. "I'll watch over him," Draco replied in a determined tone. He was slightly envious of the sibling love they had.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Jenn."

"Likewise," Jenn said before she waved and the call died with that, the video ending.

Jake looked to Draco, smiling so brightly. "That's Jenn. What do you think of her?" There was a little bit of hope in his voice, wanting so badly for Draco's approval.

"She's great. I can see how close the two of you are. I have to admit I'm a little jealous."

Draco replied with a smile. "I'm really glad that you have her. I still think the program is really weird, but I can see how handy it is to have it."

"Sorry, mate, I didn't mean to make your jealous." He shifted his weight so he could use his foot nudge Draco's gently. "I just really wanted you two to meet. You know how much I've been talking about you to her-- none of THAT stuff, though. Promise." He flashed a quick smile. "Good stuff. And I don't see how the programs weird. How do you guys talk long distance, then?"

"No worries. I'm glad you introduced me to her. She is a great person." He then got up from the chair to pull Jake into a hug, now that they were alone once more.

"As for how we communicate? Our fireplaces have multiple purposes. We can use it travel to other places or to communicate with others. You just have to make sure it's on the network. Some people choose not to be." Draco replied.

"...you're telling me Skype is strange and you're then telling me you use fireplaces like telephones." A raised eyebrow, trying to point out in turn how strange that is, but he slid his arms over Draco's hips. "...Careful though or I'll take you right back into the bedroom." A teasing, playful look, stealing a quick kiss.

Okay, he had to admit in the way Jake pointed out it was rather strange and that earned a chuckle. Only he wasn't going to openly admit it. "I did promise that we would finish what we started earlier," Draco replied wit a sly smile.

The chuckle was enough to prove he had gotten his point across. He smiled more at Draco's turn of phrase. "Is that so?" He murmured playfully. "Well then... seems to me like you should make good on that." He very well would let Draco lead the way if he wanted this time, though he knew Draco was still... learning, as it were.

Draco gave a playful tug toward the bedroom. His experience had only been with Pansy and a few one night stands. Jake was first the guy he had ever shown interest in. He was basically relearning everything he had known.

Jake would make sure Draco learned, one step at the time. There was something pleasant about getting to exhaust the other, curled up later against his side, then talk. About whatever came to mind because not there wasn't a giant lie between them. Falling asleep like that was even better, until he had to get up for work. A shower for them both, a walk for Lucky, then a quick question before he left.

"...Dragon, do you have a spell to unlock doors in your arsenal?"

Draco hated the fact that it was time to leave. Even though he hadn't meant to stay as long as he did. He gave a curious glance at Jake with the question.

"I can easily unlock doors, but I would feel as if I'm breaking in." He admitted. "Even if I got past that part you got to break through all the wards put on the house."

"There's no wards here to be had," Jake pointed out, grinning. "I wanted to know if I needed to give you a key or not. I told you, my home is a safe place for you. Always welcomed. If you can pop the door open, that'll do." He smiled just a bit more. "Unless you want a physical key, just have to wait until I can get one."

"I wouldn't mind a physical key. This means a lot to me." Draco replied with a wide smile. His whole face lit up at the news. "But for now I can settle on using a spell to unlock it."
