Isaac had been crushing on Jigen since he joined Lupin's gang of thieves. If asked what he liked about Jigen, Isaac would reply with something like, "What's not to like?" Isaac just thought Jigen was really cool, very down-to-earth, sharp witted. He was also funny in his own way as well as a great gunslinger. But above all, Isaac really admired Jigen's strong and loyal partnership with Lupin.
Isaac had always held loyalty in high regard. He'd been backstabbed in his life more times than he could count, even before he started life as a thief, and overtime this made him a bit more hesitant to trust others especially once he started committing crimes.
Only thing was, Isaac is younger than Jigen. He's the youngest of the gang by several years being only 21, which often made him insecure. He felt like Jigen would never like him back because of the age gap and because Isaac could easily be seen as 'immature'.
Isaac, Jigen, and Goemon are waiting for Lupin in a nearby park. Goemon was off to the side, cleaning his sword, and Isaac and Jigen were sitting on a bench. Isaac's mind was racing, unsure what to say. He then looked over at Jigen who had a cigarette in his mouth, as per usual. 'I wonder what he finds appealing about smoking...' He thought.
"You okay, Iz?" Isaac was snapped out of his thoughts by Jigen's voice. He averted his gaze, cheeks flushing slightly. "Y-Yeah, I'm fine..." He replied. Jigen took the cigarette out and held it out to Isaac. "Want a smoke?" He offered.
The pink-haired man looked at Jigen and then at the cigarette he was holding. "I've-uh-I've never tried smoking before." He admitted. "It's not that hard."
Isaac reluctantly took the cigarette, placing it between his lips and holding it in place with his teeth. Jigen pulled out a lighter and lit it for him. "Try breathing it in."
Isaac nodded and inhaled, only to immediately take the cigarette out, violently coughing and pounding at his chest, tears pricking his eyes.
"Holy-cough-crap!"
Once it was all out of his system, Isaac looked at Jigen apologetically. "Sorry Jigen..." Isaac couldn't see Jigen's eyes from underneath his hat but he cracked a smile, chuckling. "What are you apologizing for? It's not like it's gone to waste or anything. Besides, smoking's not for everyone." He took the cigarette back and put it back in his mouth as if it had been there the whole time.
Isaac's cheeks flushed again, 'Does this count as an indirect kiss!?' He thought. He excused himself and then went to go splash some water from the nearby fountain in his face to calm his nerves. What he wasn't aware of was Jigen's small smile at him when his back was turned as the older man thought about how cute he thought Isaac was.
