There were plenty of things that set Albert apart from other people, some Jet loved and some Jet could have done without. The fact that Albert could often cut through Jet's thoughts and emotions and hang-ups to the core of a problem was one of those things that fell in the middle of that spectrum. He couldn't always do it immediately, but the younger man had learned long ago that if there was a problem somewhere in his head, Albert would find it eventually.
He'd been with the German for years, was engaged to him, and still had always harbored a quiet fear that there would be some girl someday who would attract his partner's attention. He couldn't even discount it as unlikely or 'ridiculous' in his own head since it had basis, but the thought of mentioning it just made him feel like it would make the possibility more real.
Even now that it was out there in so many words, Jet was finding it easier to chew on his tongue than admit to what Albert had already figured out.
"Yeah. Sorta...I thought you'd find someone else -A chick- that you'd like more. I mean, guy's've never really been your thing, not really."
He hesitated and glued his eyes to the ground before finding the words he needed to fish out what was stuck in his throat. "It's not like I blamed you for that or anything, I just...I guess I've always figured I'm on borrowed time with you till the 'girl of your dreams' walks in. Then I'll have to give you up."
Not that he wouldn't fight and argue and try to stop it from happening, but if it came down to Jet being in the way of Albert being truly happy and at peace? There was no way he could do that to his German when that was all Jet wanted for him.
