Summary : Joey's braids (Y/n)'s hair as they're distracted.

Requested by : Anonymous.

_________________________________________

(Y/n) is nearly drifting of to sleep.
The hum of the engine and the movement of the bus lulling them . They really do feel like taking a nap whole on this trip. Even if they don't actually fall asleep, they'll just sit there relaxed and with their eyes closed. Sort of meditating basically.

Then, something tickles them on their head. It feels rather nice so (Y/n) is not going to stop whoever is touching their hair and seemingly playing with it. At this moment, (Y/n) has forgotten who is sitting in the seat behind them. Not like it really matter for them right now... To sleepy to care.
(Y/n) smiles subconsciously at the treatment and relaxes more, and eventually does fall asleep.

A little later, a bump in the road wakes (Y/n) up from their nap. Feeling groggy, and the feeling in their hair has stopped as well.
"We're almost there!" Corey's voice speaks up over all the other noise in the vehicle. It wakes (Y/n) up some more.
They stretch, napping during the day always makes you feel so drowsy and weak. But the nap was good at that.
"Nice braid (Y/n)." Paul, who is sitting on the other side compliments.
The comment makes (Y/n) look up surprise, "huh?" They running their hand flat over their hair, they feel the familiar bumps of a braid in their hair.

How did that get there??
That explains that feeling earlier...
"Ah, thanks." (Y/n) is quick to thank the bassist for the compliment, which actually sounded more like a remark.

(Y/n) has later, when the group arrived at the location. That it was Joey who put that braid in their hair. He was the one sitting behind them after all, now that (Y/n) remembers...
Joey and (Y/n) are quite close, sure. But this is a first and has confuses (Y/n) to no end. 

Sadly (Y/n) took out the braid before taking a quick shower, surely they could put it back if they really wanted to. But kind of forgot while being busy with other things.

They're exhausted for sure, that's what such a long trip does to you. Even if all that (Y/n) did in the bus was nap and read. They don't have the energy to deal with anything else today, luckily it's in the evening and it wouldn't seem weird to go to bed now. 
And (Y/n) is doing just that, getting ready to go to bed early. 
Surely Joey, who (Y/n) is sharing the hotel room with. Doesn't mind to be quiet if he comes back from whatever he is doing right now. (Y/n) doesn't know. 

The moment (Y/n)'s body is covered by the thick hotel sheets, they let out a long sigh. Just what they needed, a fluffy puffed up bed to rest in. They can already feel themselves fall asleep right away. 
Not willing to move anymore, (Y/n) lays still in bed and falls asleep quickly. 

The moment Joey views that (Y/n) is asleep in their bed, he quiets down. The faint light of the hotel hall light shining onto (Y/n) hair that's scattered over the pillow. 
The drummer stands and stares from a good while, mesmerized. 
He quickly snaps out and enters the room, closing the door behind him slowly. 

Joey feels to tired to freshen up before going to sleep. He merely takes off a few articles of clothing and ever so slowly, joins (Y/n) in bed. 
His eyes have adjusted to the dark, and he can see the silhouette of (Y/n) head and hair. 

He has always loved their hair, at this type and length it suits them perfectly. 
The drummer can't help himself, as he raises his hand to gently turn his fingers through the soft silk. And he feels tempted once again. 
Just like before in be bus. Joey used his two hand (as best as he can while laying on his side), taking a few strands and braiding the pieces of hair together. 
It makes him feel calm. And in this certain situation, helps him get sleepy. 

And once the braid in finished, Joey smiles at his work that he can barely see in the dark. 
The drummer scoots closer, spooning (Y/n). Closing his eyes while nuzzling his head in that hair that he loves so much. 
His arm resting over (Y/n)'s waist. 
It doesn't take long for him to falls asleep also.
