For once, Jake didn't know where he stood with another man and he did ask Regulus to come with him to Patrick's birthday party so he wouldn't feel horny and lonely at the same time.

"I don't...," Jake began, shaking his head. "I don't really know," he admitted, which was a pathetic answer. "Okay, I do know. I want to know you and what it's like to kiss you, and what sort of sounds you make before you come," Jake told Regulus in a low voice. "But I don't know from that. I'm intensely attracted to you; I won't deny that."
