TADC AU - A New Life.

Chp 24: Settling In.

Jax sitting in the living room, looked at his phone, seeing it was 1 in the morning.

Ugh... Guess I should go ahead and sleep on the couch-

Jax? Pomni said out of the blue, startling Jax, he quickly looked to his right, seeing her around the corner of the wall in the kitchen

Geez! Why are you here for? Shouldn't you be asleep? He asked

Y-yes... But... I had a nightmare... So I was wondering if you would mind sleeping with me so I could fall asleep.

You had a bad dream so you came here to get me to sleep with you? You're 15 that shouldn't be a problem! He said with no hesitate

I know... But-

Just listen to so Rain sounds and you'll be asleep soon enough! He said irritatedly. Pomni sadly took the hint and walked back into his bedroom. She walked into the room and got back into bed

'I can sleep easily... It's just the nightmare I had about my parents hurting and controlling me again... I... I just want someone to be next to me... I... I hate feeling like this...'

Unexpectedly, Jax walks into the room and gets in bed on the other side, surprising Pomni

Jax!? Are you sleeping here?

Of course, it was originally my room, but now it's our room. So I just gotta get used to-

Pomni quickly cut off Jax with a hug, Jax eyes drifted to the side I get it, you're happy, but we're not sleeping like this.

Why not? She asked It helping me a lot!

I get that! But I'm in a relationship, and just because we're siblings, doesn't mean we're blood siblings! 'And the last thing I want to do is end up doing I know imma regret'

Jax...

Just got to sleep! He said as he turned his back to her. Pomni turned her back to his

'Jax... I felt safe in your arms... I want to keep feeling safe... But... I can't say that...'

-The next day-

Jax in the bathroom mirror brushing his teeth, Pomni walked in ready to brush her teeth

Heh, do you need a chair? A step stool? He asked jokingly, Pomni blushed as he looked away with an irritated look on her face
Yeah...

Jax walked to the kitchen grabbed a chair and brought it to the bathroom
And after you're done with your teeth, put some pants on!

What? Is something wrong with what I'm wearing? Pomni asked

You're wearing a black shirt and my old boxer I gave you when you first stayed over.
He said Hell, I can see that you have a thigh gap!

A thigh gap? She said as she looked down at her legs
Yes! And wearing those boxers makes you- n-nevermind!

Huh, what were you about to say? She asked

Nothing! Just... Nothing!
'It's such a pain to tell her about herself like she isn't aware of her surroundings, I get that your parents are somewhat strict but- nevermind, I forgot, she only ever saw me as a brother, she ain't worried about me in the slightest'
Around one or so, imma be hanging at Ragatha.
