Chuck Bartowski, Chuck, Thataways

[mm_joann]

So you know that Chuck guy? With the bajillion alternates? You have the one who likes to shag Jake Foley now.

He's dressed in a suit.

And wearing glasses.

And not entirely unpleased with the chance to take a breather and sort out his head before rescuing his dad.

Take a breather, you say?

That's exactly what Jake is having trouble with right now. Because Chuck-in-suit-with-glasses is so completely adorable (and many other adjectives) that his face seems to have frozen into a biiiiig shockedface.

Nevermind that Chuck didn't mention he was leaving the bar.

Twinge of guilty, you say? There is none here!

Not at all.

Not for leaving without telling Jake so he could go break his ex out of jail in an attempt to rescue his dad.

Or... anything else.

(At least Jake didn't have to be around for the Anything Else.)

...So that slight BOYFRIEND YAY grin definitely contains NO guilt whatsover.

[twopointohbaby]

Right.

Well.

Jake does not exactly notice it.

"Glasses," he mouths.

[talldarkngoofy]

...Okay, that grin just got a little more genuine.

"Like them?"

[youknowtheword]

Waaaait a second. Is that - ?

"Chuck?"

[talldarkngoofy]

Chuck's head snaps around.

"Ca- hey!"

[youknowtheword]

Devon beams, and suddenly Chuck's table is plus one brother-in-law.

"Hey, bro!" he says, clapping Chuck on the shoulder. "I didn't know you came here!"

[talldarkngoofy]

"I... didn't know you came here, either."
