There is a Jake at the bar, happily jamming to... music that is nowhere in sight.

Nanites are helpful!

(He's also a little bit younger than Chuck's Jake.)

But apparently not younger enough to register (at least not from behind). You can tell, 'cause Chuck just covertly snuck up behind Jake for a SNEAKY HUG AND A KISS on Jake's neck.

Psh, he's totes allowed to do that. He has the wedding ring to prove it.

"Hey."

Chuck coming up behind him registers about a half a second before the hug, enough time that Jake doesn't, say, judo-flip Chuck as he is being hugged. But the hug, and the kiss, is a little bit of a shock for Jake, and there's a sharp intake of breath.

"--hi."

...Whoops. Chuck still has the arm cast thing on, doesn't he? Clearly that's the only reason for hesitation.

(He'll catch on soon, promise.)

And settling his chin on Jake's shoulder. "Watcha up to?"

"Me? I was, uh." Thinking is suddenly harder with Chuck's head right there. "Listening to someone else's iPod." Sheepish.

Beat.

"You, haven't, uh, been drinking polywater by any chance, have you?"

"No, why?"

(ANY MINUTE NOW, HE'LL CATCH ON.)

"Well, um, Chuck, not that I mind or anything, because I don't--and I just wanted to make that clear--"

DEEP BREATH.

"--but you're not, uh. Usually this... touchy-feely? And considering that this is Milliways..." he says, trailing off and waving his hand as if to encompass the end of the thought.

And then the hair clicks into place.

And Chuck backs away, hands up. (One of which, yes, has a wedding ring on it.)

"...Oh. Oh, crap, sorry, I think I'm-" nervous laugh, "-early or something. Um."

...wait, what?

"...Chuck?

"You are Chuck, aren't you? And not like... some sort of Cylon-dream!Chuck?" He's looking at the arm, yes. Also possibly trying to figure out what it is.

Yes, by interfacing with it.

"No, no, I think I'm more of a future!Chuck."

Eyeing Jake. Plz don't mess up any of his stuff. His bosses will get mad. :/

Jake had been playing with the fake-cast-wot-is-apparently-a-gaming-console, but stops and blinks.

"What? Oh. Yeah, I've, uh. Figured that out, I guess."

Um.

"....are we married?"

Totally adorable and soppy and completely head-over-heels grin.

"Yeah."

Have a spit-take minus the drink, Chuck!

"What?!? That's just--I mean--oh my God, seriously?"

"Seriously.

"I mean, I can't, like, tell you a lot because I'll polute our timeline or something. At least, that's what all the movies usually say. But."

He helpfully holds out the hand with the ring on it a little more. IS TRUFAX.

"Yeah, something like that," Jake agrees, taking Chuck's hand gently as if he's afraid of his boyfriend--his... husband?--crumbling into a million pieces.

Not going to happen. Chuck is v. solid.

"...So, uh, what year is it? For you?"
