Cover My Eyes (A Jaspar Fanfic)

Part 3

*Joe's POV*

I waited... And waited... And waited. Caspar didn't have much room under his bed but seeing him scream was well worth the wait. It was the only way I could make him scream in bed... Why did my mind go there? I started to feel hot all over. Maybe I should keep my mind out of the gutter.

I heard the clumsy steps of Caspar coming down the steps and shifted to make sure I was covered under the bed. I listened closely as he threw open the door and flipped on the light. It took another eternity before he flopped on his bed.

On the count of three. One...two...three!

I reached out and grabbed his ankles making a snarling noise. Caspar screamed high pitched and fell backward, tucking into his shirt like a turtle. What a wimp!

"JOE! Stay out of my roooooooom!" Caspar shouted but there was a smile on his face, I could hear it.

"You don't mean that Caspar. What excitement would you have in your life then? Be honest!" I wiggled my eyebrows and winked at him before he chased me out of the room.

Ah, I'm going to miss this... not that he's going anywhere anytime soon...I hope.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. It was a message from Zoe.

From: Zoe
Hey Joey! How's Caspar? He was acting weird when we met up today. Anyway plans still on for the weekend?
-xo Zoe

Caspar was acting weird? How could she tell? He's always weird. Unless... I thought about how he was acting this morning.

My imagination might have ran away with me for a moment as I pictured his messy bed head and his dorky smile lighting up our flat this morning. Then storm clouds rolling in and he brings up HER. The girl he loved. Lightning striking me through the heart as I burst into flame again. I start, pulling myself out of my daydreams.

I had feelings for Caspar since I first laid eyes on him, a stranger destined to be my roommate. It only got worse when we became friends. I spent hot, sleepless nights thinking of him. It felt like I was chasing my tail, I knew it was a bad idea to keep these feelings bottled up, but what was I going to do?

I shook my head and looked back down at my phone. What exactly did Caspar and Zoe talk about?

To Zoe:
Yeah, Caspar is good and we're still on for this weekend. It's been awhile since there was a sugg sibling video.

Send. Nice, maybe I can squeeze some information out of her and a good video. I've been in a video rut recently... My views stagnating at an all time low.

I heard Caspar stomping around his room and my thoughts circling back to him. Every time I think about him too hard I start day dreaming about his body and wondering what it must really feel like.

I had to shake off this feeling. I was going out tonight. Phone already in hand I texted Oli.

To: Oli
I've been feeling really down. Let's go out tonight.

It wasn't even a full minute later before he texted back

From Oli:
Be there in 20

Alright. Time to drink til I forget my name.

3 am

"Caspar! OH, CASPAR MY BOY!!!"

I fumbled loudly into our flat, running straight into the table. Who puts a table that close to the door?

"God dammit. How long has this table been here?" I giggled. I'm so funny.

"Joe? What are you doing up here?"

"What are you doing up here?"

"Just how gone are you?"

I thought about it. Thinking made my head hurt. I held up 2 fingers... maybe three... or maybe just one special one, "This drunk."

"Joe," Caspar paused to run his fingers through his hair, "let's get you into bed." He's not usually like this. Drinking isn't his thing.

I giggled again, "Oh now you say it. But it's too late Casp." I sloppily patted him on his cute little cheek.

"What? You should get to sleep before you make any less sense than no sense. I don't think that made sense but you know what I mean."

"I can't Caspar. I can't go to sleep."

"Why not?"

"Because I brought someone home with me! " he smiled at me, a mean, wicked smile. "No sleep for me tonight, Suggy is getting laid"
