soft! josh

* ring ring * josh's phone rang as he glanced down from his monitor. '(name)' it stated on the screen. "sorry boys, important call." he said as he left the studio, taking his phone with him as he left.

"(name)?" he said as there was no response as he picked up. "j-josh... are you... free right now?" (name) weakly asked. "im... i'm having stomach flu again..." she winced followed by the sound of her throwing up. the audio alone was enough to send an ache through josh's heart. "i'll be right there." he said as he dashed to grab his car keys, not even bothering going back to record with the boys.

while making his way to his car, he quickly texted mully: 'will explain when i'm back'

upon arrival at (name)'s apartment, he keyed the passcode into her gate and went straight to her bedroom. he sighed as he saw the state the female was in. "c'mon let's get you to the hospital." he said as he picked the female up in her fetus position, trembling in pain. "when will you ever learn to take care of yourself." josh laughed as he helped (name) to the passenger seat and fastened her seat belt.

"i-imma frow up..." (name) stuttered, one hand covering her mouth. "h-hey... m-my car is new... i'll...i'll stop somewhere please hold it in." josh stuttered as (name) let out a weak giggle. "i'm just kidding, dumbass. who even says frow up seriously." she tried to make herself seem fine so as to not worry josh.

"i swear i'll throw you off to the roadside." he shook his head, but couldn't stop the smile creeping up his lips. 'still trying to stay positive?'

after the checkup, the doctors allowed (name) to return home after prescribing some medications for her. josh was there the entire time with her, ignoring the many missed calls from the boys after walking out of recording without explanation yet.

"you're still here?" (name) laughed as the doctors wheeled her out on a wheelchair. she slowly stood up and stumbled her way to josh as a nurse worriedly follows her. "she'll be fine, i'll take good care of her." josh whispered to the nurse, who then gave a relieved smile.

-

"i totally cannot take care of myself, sir josh." (name) raised her eyebrows, sarcasm thick in her words. "very sarcastic, considering coming from a sick person, huh?"

"c'mon, (name). if you can't take care of yourself, let me?" josh nonchalantly said. "pfft no thanks dad."

"daddy sounds better?" he joked, earning a glare and a weak punch from the female who was having troubles holding back her laughter.

-

"thanks josh..." (name) weakly smiled as she failed to open the car door. josh laughed as he got off, walked to her side, opened the door. and before she could get off, josh picked her up bridal style, using his ass to close the door and set her onto her apartment sofa.

he then went to survey her refrigerator as he picked out some vegetables. "josh, you can go... i will be alright by myself. you're not my boyfriend or anything you don't have to -"

"i will be if you accept me?" josh raised an eyebrow at the female. she opened her mouth to protest but josh's glance made her act otherwise. "w-wait... is that... a yes?" he blankly blinked at her. "boyfriend, you better make me a nice meal." she said turning away from him.
