You can never leave (JOREY)

Lay you down to sleep (11)

[FLUFF💅💕]

Joey POV:

I can't believe the love of my life was murdered... I'm so fucking devastated and now she's gone. She was my everything and meant a whole lot to me. Now my mental health just got worse since her passing.

Her death was a week ago now, I'm still devastated. Sometimes, I can't stop thinking about her and I just wish it was some stupid prank she pulled me. At least she's in a better place now, I guess.. I don't even know if heaven is real or not. Catholicism is nothing to me.

I laid on my bed with my blanket covering every part of me except for my head. My black hair was covering my face and I was crying a bit. I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, my mood is just doing shit.

My phone suddenly beeped. I wasn't feeling like getting up, but I just have to check to see if the notification is important or something. So I got up and to see it was a message from Corey.

Corey: Joey.. You seem very upset after that friend of yours had dropped dead. I feel your pain and I just want to cheer you up, mind if I come to your house and comfort you? Just like in the old times you cheer me up? Can I do the same thing?

Joey: Uh... Sure Corey I don't mind

Corey: Ok then, see you soon ❤️

Joey: ( ◠‿◠ )

How unexpected.. Corey wants to cheer me up? And how does he know I've been devastated after my crush died? At least he's not stalking me, I hope not.

I continued to cry to myself as I wait for Corey to come over.

*Spongebob narrator voice* 24 minutes later..

My doorbell rang. I went to it and opened it, knowing that it's Corey. As I let Corey in my house, he shut the door behind and hugged me. I couldn't help but to break down into his chest. So that's what I did and he held me close and tight, rubbing me back trying to comfort me.

I kept crying because of how strong my sadness is, I'm so weak. At least Corey is here and supportive with me. "Shhh... It's alright, I'm here..." Corey cooed. I hugged back. Corey suddenly carried me bridal style to the couch. I didn't care and just relaxed my body because I just need someone with me now.

Corey laid me on the couch gently and then laid beside me, hugging me and letting me cry into his chest. "Let it all out, crying is good for you." Corey spoke and rubbed my back. I cried for like, 2 more minutes.

Corey gets some napkins from my kitchen and gave it to me and I can wipe my tears and blow my nose. After I finished and threw the napkin away and went back to the couch, Corey hugged me and I hugged back. "I...I'm scared Corey..." I stuttered. "No need to be, I'm here beside you.." He responded, smiling sweetly.

I laid into his chest and just closed my eyes because I felt tired. No, I'm not falling in love or anything I just need a rest with an important friend. "You seem very tired, take a rest in my chest while I watch." Corey said. "Ok.." I mumbled.

As I went to sleep, he stroked my long hair. Just like when I was a child, my loving mother would always do that when I nap or relax.

Corey POV:

I stared at Joey's beautiful sleeping figure, I love hearing his loud breathing... It makes me feel so calm and happy. I'm so glad I have my love sleeping in my arms, he's all fucking mine.

I carried him bridal style to his bedroom and laid him on the bed while I lay next to him. I pulled the blanket to cover the both of us while I close my eyes too and pulled him closer. I kissed his forehead and slept too.

(2 hours later..)

Joey POV:

I woke up after an interesting dream. What I noticed at first is that someone is hugging me and sleeping too. I turned around to see it was Corey. Oh fuck, no not these flashbacks when I wake up in the middle of the night and saw him sleep shirtless next to me.. oh fuck no.

But, I was a little afraid to do something bad so I just stayed still. Corey finally woke up and smiled at me. "I see you're awake." He spoke in a raspy voice. "Yeah.." I yawned.

"Did I make you feel better?" He asked. "Kind of, thanks for the support." I smiled a bit. "No need to thank me." He replied.

"Joey, can someone say 'I love you' as a friend?" Corey suddenly asked. "Uhm yeah, why?" I answered. "Because that's what I want to say to you..." He looked at me in a serious face expression. Woah.

"Aww, that's sweet. I love you too as a friend." I smiled. He hugged me and I hugged back.
