Indeed Abel had records, otherwise what good would it do him to maintain his status if he didn't have secrets. He hadn't thought much by mentioning the name sounded familiar. However as he mentioned having records, he wasn't so sure he should have. Abel glanced down at Miguel as he questioned him. He had no reason to give Miguel information in return. "Never you mind." Abel replied simply as he sat there.

He supposed it wasn't so strange that Abel would have records. He himself had a massive hard-drive filled with information on places, people, and other hoards of data he'd built up over the years. Hardly any of that hoard was in physical form. Instead he them stored and backed up to various networks. Seeing as he didn't have much of a home these days he felt it easier to keep those things together rather than stashed away in some file cabinet. Hearing Abel speak, Jakob couldn't help letting his curiosity show. He didn't expect an answer, yet still found it amusing when Abel denied him. "Hmm, must be pretty bad then." he teased. "Don't tell me, there's info on your off shore banking account, some old tax records, and something incriminating involving the cartel." He smiled up at the male as he teased him. He doubted Abel would keep such things in his records. It didn't really seem his style. Then again, the man was pretty mysterious, perhaps that would just be another layer to his personality. Abel, the international mob boss. Not much of a ring to it, but it was still something, assuming he was anywhere close to the truth.

Abel too had his records backed up on numerous files and hard drives. However it wasn't any of Miguel's business. He didn't exactly trust Miguel. Sure, he took Miguel in and helped him but that didn't include sharing his life's work and details. Abel was selfish and it was his business to hold onto.

As he spoke about his records, he knew Miguel was curious. However he brushed his question aside. It wasn't relevant or open for discussion. Abel listened as Miguel teased him as he continued to question him. He rolled his eyes as he looked down at Miguel. "Like I said, never you mind." Abel responded dismissing his teasing. He shifted grabbing his phone from beside him on the nightstand. Abel pulled open a web tab, "Have you eaten?" He asked, wanting to change the subject for now.

It didn’t bother him that Abel didn’t trust him. It wasn’t as though he had given him much reason to. Sure they ******** and had their moments from time to time. But they still didn’t really know each other that well. As Jakob continued to tease the man, he smirked as Abel rolled his eyes and repeated himself. It amused him how little it took to annoy him. Jakob watched the male turn away to pick up his phone from the nightstand. It was then that he was asked an additional question. ” I had lunch about six hours ago.” he answered honestly.”My plan was to get something after I met Cornelius.” Jakob peered curiously towards the male’s phone. He wondered if he had disrupted Abel from getting his own dinner. Seeing as Kieran wasn’t here to cook for him, it wasn’t too shocking to find he would pick the easier route.

Abel wasn't annoyed, he simply saw no reason to explain his secrets. He wasn't ashamed of being useless in the kitchen. Learning to cook wasn't his thing. Abel had been reliant on Kirean to cook for him. When he'd come home, his sister would take care of making his meals. He hadn't been thrilled by her babysitting him. Abel had sent her away with a little force. He had regretted it but he didn't need it.

Moving onto a new topic, he asked Miguel about food. Abel wasn't about to kick Miguel out. After all he knew he was in no state right now to be wandering around. He nodded as Miguel spoke, "What do you like on your pizza?" Abel asked figuring something easy for both of them.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

As fun as it was to tease Abel about his lack of kitchen skills, he didn't have much room to talk. Jakob hardly ever cooked for himself. He'd learned while in school, but ever since he left home cooking hadn't been much of an option. Between the hotels he'd lived in and someone else being in charge of meals while living with Cornelius those skills were simply left aside. Jakob didn't mind the sudden change of subject. Though he was slightly amused that Abel would use food to distract him. Still, so long as he was offering, he wouldn't pass up the opportunity for a free dinner. "Something simple is fine like pepperoni or beef." he replied.

Abel could be distracting in more ways than one. However he didn't think Miguel was open to the second option. He found food was the next best option. Abel questioned Miguel, he wasn't bothered if Miguel wanted something different. He merely figured pizza was easy. Abel listened as Miguel responded. He nodded, "Pepperoni it is then." Abel replied as he went about ordering a large Pepperoni pizza with green peppers on half.

Indeed, he could imagine what other ways Abel might try and distract him. Ever since Kieran had left he hadn't been with anyone. He'd been too upset and busy to bother. He didn't want to go through the hassle of meeting someone and the annoying pleasantries. It was all too much. Answering the males question, he nodded as Abel spoke and went about putting in an order. "Thanks." he said softly. Jakob laid quietly as Abel finished up on his phone. When he was done, he rolled carefully on to his back. "So had I not shown up what were your plans going to be tonight?" he asked. He didn't expect Abel to answer him but he was curious. He wondered what a night on the town was like for him when he wasn't at the club drinking or that gentleman's club he'd once taken him to.

Abel hadn't been intimate with anyone since his accident. He hadn't really been out much either. Perhaps it was simply the near death experience but he wasn't likely to say it outloud. He nodded as he finished his order then set his phone aside. Abel returned his attention back to Miguel. He watched as he rolled in the bed beside him onto his back. Abel listened as Miguel questioned him. "I didn't really have a plan; I haven't really been out too much." He replied as he shrugged at Miguel's question.

After giving his thanks, Jakob rolled on to his back and soon changed the subject. He was curious if Abel had been able to get back to any sort of normal in the last couple of weeks. Though it wouldn't be surprising if he hadn't, he wasn't exactly sure of the time frame required for this sort of healing. He could imagine it would be much more than just a few weeks. Glancing up at the male he listened as Abel spoke and gave a light shrug. He nodded quietly. "Makes sense. I should have guessed with you just being out of the hospital and all." he replied. Jakob wanted to ask him a little more about his recovery but was not sure if Abel would answer him.

Abel wasn't bothered by the question. He'd merely been careful in his recovery. Abel hadn't gone out much since he'd come home. He had to be careful not to over exert himself. Just because the outside had healed didn't mean the inside had. Abel listened as Miguel spoke. He nodded at his words. "Yeah, I still have to be careful…Sometimes I can feel pain in my side if I move just the wrong way…I've been mostly trying to regain my muscles back by working out slowly…" Abel responded as he reached down to run a hand over his own scar. It was jagged and ran from his right hip to about just under his rib.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob had no idea what sort of timeline Abel was looking at to recover from such an event. While he was young and strong, his injuries were severe. He wouldn't be surprised if it took him months to get back to normal. Jakob watched Abel nod and speak slowly. It sounded like an awful healing process, unfortunately the pain was necessary. "Mm, at least you're alive...if Addy hadn't found you..." his voice trailed as he watched Abel's fingers trace the jagged scar. It seemed nearly impossible and yet Abel was living proof of what the human body could endure. Sitting up slightly, Jakob leaned over and kissed his lips softly. It had been over a month since he had last kissed Abel. He tasted just as he remembered. Jakob took a second kiss before moving to lay back down. His cheeks had turned a faint shade of pink as he once again met the males gaze. "So is it okay that you're moving all over the house with no one here? Seems like a lot of stairs." he said, returning to Abel's last statement about getting exercise. To his knowledge all of his and Kieran's workout equipment had been in the basement. He wondered if Abel should be moving that much just for a few daily exercises.

Abel didn't know how long it would take for him to recover. He was doing well for what he thought. Abel just had to be careful still. He listened as Miguel spoke of his sister finding him. Abel nodded, not knowing such things but it didn't surprise him. Running a hand over his scar, he felt the bed shift. He watched as Miguel came closer and kissed him. Abel was surprised by the sudden need to kiss him. He wasn't too shy about it as he returned the kiss. Abel too couldn't remember when they last kissed. He tasted Miguel as he was kissed again.

After a few moments, Abel felt Miguel pull back to lie back down. He was rather disappointed by the short kiss. Abel didn't understand the sudden need for intimacy. He listened as Miguel spoke again, distracting him from his thoughts. Abel shrugged at his words. "Well, I can't just sit around doing nothing." He replied simply not worrying too much about the stairs.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Indeed, the male seemed to be progressing rather well considering. But it was just the beginning. Jakob spoke before trailing off, he couldn't explain his sudden desire to kiss him. Despite their ups and downs, he was glad Abel had not died. Leaning over the male, he kissed him softly as it was soon returned to him. As he lay back, Jakob then changed the subject. He was glad that Abel had not questioned him about it. Though he wondered for how long he might keep any questions at bay. Instead, Abel shrugged and spoke simply. He didn't really seem to care about the amount of walking that was involved going from the second floor down to the basement. While it might be a familiar distance, he wondered if he might be trying to do too much too soon. "No, I suppose you can't...though your doctor might disagree." he replied. "What have you been doing when you're not exercising?"

The sudden need for intimacy surprised him. He had wanted more but didn't want to push his luck. Abel let Miguel do as he pleased, giving into his small demands. He knew if he questioned it, then he wasn't likely to get an answer. Abel didn't think there was one anyways. He listened as Miguel questioned him. Abel didn't understand all the questions. It wasn't as if Miguel had ever cared about him before. "I've mostly been here, haven't gone out too much…Wouldn't go well to expose my weaknesses in public…Probably only lead to another attempt on my life right now." He responded, not in the mood to die or in the best shape to defend himself.
