Chapter 4:

Blue eyes brown hair

Bonjour lover


Before getting dressed, Jakub scrolled through Instagram on his phone. He stopped dead when he came across a picture of a strikingly handsome man with brown hair and blue eyes. The man had over two billion followers, and Jakub's cheeks turned even pinker, his legs wiggling with excitement. He admired the man's chiseled features and confident smile, feeling his heart race.
*His voice barely above a whisper.* "Oh my gosh," Jakub whispered, almost forgetting he was still in his towel. He quickly got dressed, still thinking about the handsome stranger, and flopped onto his bed, dreaming about him. His sleep was filled with fantasies of meeting the man, his cheeks flushed even in his dreams.

Five minutes after Nickel had left, Jakub returned to the kitchen to check on his cakes. As he was cleaning up, he noticed something moving near the sink. His heart froze when he saw a big spider crawling out of the drain. Jakub's green eyes widened with fright, and he took a step back, trembling.
*His voice trembling.* "Please... please go away," Jakub pleaded softly. He couldn't tear his eyes away from the spider, his fear paralyzing him. As the smoky smell from the oven grew stronger, he realized his cakes were burning, but he couldn't move.
Tears welled up in his eyes as he finally forced himself to look away from the spider. He turned to the oven and saw smoke billowing out. His darling cakes, his pride and joy, were ruined. Sniffling, his red nose twitching, Jakub grabbed his phone and called Nickel with shaking hands.

Nickel was at the supermarket, one hand holding his phone while the other pushed a shopping cart filled with snacks. He was scrolling through TikTok, completely captivated by a video of a handsome man with blue eyes and brown hair. The man's chiseled jawline and confident demeanor had Nickel swooning.
*His eyes glued to the screen.* "Oh, he's so manly," Nickel murmured dreamily. He was so absorbed in the video that he didn't notice a box of snacks on the floor and tripped over it. Just then, his phone rang.
Nickel glanced at the screen and saw Jakub's name. Answering the call, he heard Jakub's tearful voice.
*His voice breaking.* "Nickel, there's a spider!" Jakub cried.
Nickel laughed softly, his heart warming at Jakub's cuteness. *"It's okay, Jakub. I'll be right there."*
Nickel quickly checked out, still giggling, and rushed out of the supermarket with his bag of snacks. When he arrived home, he found Jakub sitting on the couch, sniffling and red-nosed, waiting for him.
Nickel placed the snacks on the table and pulled Jakub into a comforting hug. *"Don't worry, I'm here now,"* he whispered soothingly, kissing Jakub's forehead.
Jakub buried his face in Nickel's shoulder, feeling safe and cared for. *"Thank you, Nickel,"* he mumbled, his voice muffled.
Nickel smiled, his purple eyes sparkling with affection. *"Anytime, cutie. Now, let's deal with that spider and save what we can of your cakes."*
