(note, this is from my AO3 book 'jatchet booklet, you can find this as well as the request that started this there. Enjoy)

"thanks for helping me out today Jak." Ratchet said from his current position under the vehicle he was currently fixing. There were tools scattered around near him as Jak had decided to visit him on a late notice (since Daxter had hidden the device they were given to talk to the others and Jak only recently found it again). Jak was leaning against the vehicle the lombax was working on, nodding his head.

"No problem, had nothing to do in Spargus right now." He said, staring at the others hand as it searched for one of the scattered tools while Ratchet still had his eyes glued to his work, the hand getting back to work once it found a small tool that looked similar to a laser and a gun.

There was silence for a while, the only sounds they could hear was the sound of buzzing from the tool Ratchet was currently using.

'Now that I think about it, there are many things in this world I don't know. Surely it wouldn't hurt to try and memorise everything about this world right?'Jak sighed, at least if he asked Ratchet to tell him about his world, it would help to pass the time (certainly better then having to grab tools he barely knew about for Ratchet). "Hey Ratchet? Since I'm in your universe right now, mind telling me a few things about it?" Ratchet stopped working for a few seconds, before getting back to work, the laser thing he was using now lay with the pile of scattered tools as Jak passed Ratchet a small wrench. "Like what?" Jak raised an eyebrow at him, "What do you mean 'like what?'" he inquired. "Because I can't tell you literally EVERYTHING about my world. Like, I don't know, where babies come from?" Ratchet told him playfully. Jak chuckled. It makes sense for Ratchet to say that.

He scanned the area for something to talk about within the ginormous garage. Hid eyes fell back on where Ratchet was working on his back to fix the vehicle.

'Bingo.'

"How about you tell me a about these machines and your guns and gadgets? You seem to know alot about them." Jak sat cross-legged, trying to see Ratchet's face. The lombax's tail wagged slightly and Jak could see Ratchet nod, "Yeah. I can definitely do that."

And so, Ratchet went on and on about the guns and machinery this universe had. Jak lost track of time listening to Ratchet talk for seemingly hours and hours.

The more he listened, the more he seemed to barely be able to focus on what Ratchet was saying, like as if he was focusing solely on the voice.

Jak then stopped. He stopped breathing for a minute because he was holding his breath.

He felt his face and ears burning, his heartbeat quicken and skip a few beats.

"Fuck I'm gay."

"Hm? What'd you say Jak?"

'shit shit shit shit shit shit shit, I said it out loud,' "Nothing, nothing, carry on." Jak waved his hand dismissively, his eyes downcast to hide his face. Ratchet pulled himself out from underneath the spaceship, sitting cross-legged and staring at Jak. "I'm done talking though." Ratchet could see jaks ears turning strawberry red. "Jak are yo-? MM!?" The lombax couldn't finish because Jak had kissed him in the lips, before quickly parting and standing up."Well, would you look at the time, I've got to get going back to my universe, so goodnight!" Jak practically yelled at Ratchet, who was still on the floor processing what the f--- just happened.

When he did finally process it all, Ratchet felt his face get hot, he stood up and raised his fists in the air and shouted "FINALLY!!!"When Jak got home and he saw his friends, he just left them confused."Hey Jak, how was it-" "I kissed a lombax"

As soon as he left, everyone just looked at eachother. "Well. Least he finally got that off his chest"
