Title/Theme: Autochthonous
Definition: formed or originating in the place where found
Pairing: EvanxJake
Words: 500 or less

Evan leaned forward in his chair, his eyes sweeping over the thin paper that Jake was sketching a tattoo design on.  It was a woman rising out of mud, one arm half formed the other seeming to drip with mud.  "Autochthon or nymph?" he asked, not entirely sure which it was meant to be or if it even mattered.
Not looking up, Jake laughed.  "You and your big words.  A what or a nymph?"
"Autochthon.  A mortal being that springs from the earth itself.  Shows up in greek mythology. It can also refer to the original inhabitants of a region, but frankly that sounds far less interesting and isn't what I was referring to."
Jake nodded, shading the hair on the woman. "Ah.  Yeah that's it then I guess."
He liked these moments.  It really didn't matter what Jake was working on.  Evan just liked watching him.  Not that he was ready to tell him, but the intensity was attractive.  Half the reason he got tattoos was to have that focused on him.  It was probably the sexiest thing about Jake, the way he became completely absorbed in his art.  As dangerous as it was that was what made Evan wonder what it would be like to be the focus of Jake's passion and not just as a palette for his art.
These are my two newest characters. I created them for a scene in Whitney and Liam's story Coffee Cake because my publisher said it needed another scene at the beginning to keep it from feeling rushed and well these two were born. ^.^

This is just a domestic bit between them. I'm going to do at least one more for them.

They're both geeks just different types of geeks. Jake is artistic and musical (vocally) while Evan is more the intellectual type of geek. I want to do their story as a friendship where they fall in love, but I'm not sure yet exactly what their story will be.

Jakes tattoos - The key on his forearm is the key to hell from the Sandman Comics by Neil Gaiman. The words around his throat is actually line from VNV Nation's song Testament "We speak of greatness that we have never been" and I felt it being around his throat gave it even more weight which is why it's there.

Evan has tattoos and piercings too (all Jake's handiwork, but he keeps them in places that they can be hidden because he's studying constitutional law and feels he has to keep his appearance professional.
