"He would," he says bitterly. "If he was lied to enough." OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. GIVE US YOUR STORIES, JACOB. I WANT TO SEE THIS HEARTBREAK. I bet Jacob's interrogation of Castiel is hilarious though. "NO I AM NOT A LIZARD MAN. OR A MOLE PERSON. I REALLY AM AN ANGEL OF THE LORD."
And Jacob's like, "ARE YOU AN ALIEN?? ARE YOU FROM ATLANTIS??"
-- Fourteen minutes. That's how much older Jacob is than Jimmy, and their parents used to joke that that was the longest Jacob ever went through life without his little brother.
-- Their mother used to dress them in matching outfits for church. Twenty minutes into the service and Jacob would fidget, count each stained glass shard on the windows at least until 20, twist in his seat to see the people behind him, who frowned. Twist back around and accidentally kick Jimmy in the shin, who kicked him back. Shhh, Mrs. Novak said, glaring at them on behalf of the Lord.
-- Five things from Jacob's desk, circa age fifteen: 1) The latest issue of New Paradigm, bookmarked with post-its. 2) A small gold cross he doesn't wear anymore. 3) A catalog open to the telescopes and binoculars section, the Nebula Astromaster NG-60 circled in red marker. 4) A Playboy of dubious origin. 5) Wells's The Time Machine, which he actually borrowed from Jimmy and always forgets to return.
-- One brother asks the other, "How can you believe in this stuff?"
-- Jimmy's eyes are a little grayer. Jacob has a scar on his elbow from the time he fell out the tree in the backyard, eight years old and impatient for height. (Jimmy barefoot on the grass looking up at him, white-knuckled and squinty-eyed. Jacob had told him it was going to be okay, so Jimmy was waiting to see if this was true.)
