Fever burn (JASPER HALE X MALE OC)

🌡11🌡

Harvey woke up in a cold sweat with a scream building in his throat. He felt someone touch him and he launched himself away from them, his entire body trembling. His back hit the wall and he landed on the floor. His grey eyes met gold and he let out a small sob. 

"Hey, darlin' you're ok, I got you," Jasper said quietly, slowly moving towards the terrified boy. Harvey let the blonde wrap his arms around him and he immediately started sobbing into Jasper's chest. 

He clung to Jasper like he was the only thing that existed. Jasper was grounding him and pulling him back down to earth, stealing him from his nightmare. 

"Shh, I got you. You're safe now," Jasper assured, gently rubbing Harvey's back. Harvey slowly began to calm down as Jasper held him reassuringly. 

"What did you dream about?" Jasper whispered, his gaze soft. Harvey explained his dream to the blonde, feeling his grip on him tighten. Fury blazed in Jasper's eyes and he knew he needed to calm down. 

Or else he'd lose it.

"Oh come on Emmet! Put me down, you bastard!" Harvey shouted, kicking his legs and flailing around. Emmet just laughed and continued to hold him off the ground. 

"Jasper!" Harvey whined, pleading for backup. Jasper just smiled at him and blew a kiss. 

"I hate all of you!" Harvey pouted, continuing to throw himself around. Emmet's grip on him tightened and Harvey let out a whine, going limp. Emmet finally set him down and Harvey punched him in the gut.

"You're a dickhead, both of you! I hate you," Harvey shouted at Emmet and Jasper. Jasper wrapped his arms around Harvey and pulled him close, seeing the way his face turned pink and his eyes landed on Jasper's lips. 

"We both know that isn't true, right darlin'?" Jasper asked, a seductive smirk on his face. Harvey's mind raced with dirty thoughts and he immediately nodded his head. 

"Keep your thoughts to yourselves," Edward groaned, annoyed. Jasper laughed lightly and they all went back to talking. 

It was peaceful. 

"I'm just going into town to buy a book, I'll be fine," Harvey argued, rolling his eyes at the southern blonde. 

"Please just stay here, I can't protect you if we're in a crowded area," Jasper said desperately. 

"Jasper, I get that you're worried, but you can't just keep me cooped up forever. It's starting to get suffocating," Harvey muttered the last part, and Jasper frowned even more.

"Fine, but if there is any sign of danger then we're going straight back here," Jasper ordered, causing Harvey to smile. He pressed a kiss to Jasper's cheek and led him outside. Jasper smiled back at Harvey and opened the car door for him. 

Once they started driving they fell into easy conversation. Jasper's eyes flicked to Harvey's face as he talked with a large smile with excitement and happiness radiating from him. He was waving his arms around wildly as he talked. Harvey stopped talking abruptly and his excitement faded.

"Sorry, you probably think I'm annoying," he said while rubbing the back of his neck, something he did when he was embarrassed or anxious. Jasper frowned. 

"Why do you always do that?" Jasper asked with concern etched into his face. Harvey stiffened and looked at Jasper quizzically.

"You start talking and you're really excited and happy, and then you stop talking suddenly and start apologizing. Who told you that wasn't ok?" Jasper asked, looking back at the road.
