That Night... (Jonuardo)

Chasing a Dream

The words echoed through Eduardo's head as he stared at the nervous carmel-haired man. "Kiss?" he managed to softly shove out of his chapped lips, staring at Jon with confusion and yet recognition. The fidgeting man stared right back at his confused roommate. The tension in the air was palpable as the two stayed in silence. Jon timidly nodded, his anxiety boiling in his body like stew in a steaming pot. "I'm sure i-it was an accident I'm sure!" Jon sputtered out as he took a step back, his fight or flight becoming triggered as unease hit his mind. "Jon what th' hell are ya talkin about..." Eduardo said, his face retracting from surprise to suspicion.

Jon inhaled quietly, his mind working out how he was gonna go about this. Clearly Eduardo did not remember what happened that night. "I- uhm.." Jon choked up, his nervousness becoming visible on his face as his eyes darted around. "Spit it out Jon" Eduardo demanded, now intrigued by Jon's little question and his sudden change in behavior. "I- just forget it! I-it was a joke!" Jon lied, turning away and starting to speed walk away from the other. He wanted to tell him, there was so much to say, why was he running? It no longer mattered, Eduardo was bound to follow behind, his steps quick to follow Jon's. "Hell no, get yer ass back here Jon!" Eduardo raised his voice, causing Jon to run instead. Eduardo groaned in frustration, following Jon fast. Jon ran as fast as his legs could take him, his first instinct was to escape his danger. Following his mind, Jon found himself in some alley, the rainclouds slowly forming in the sky caused Jon more unease. He found himself at a run down area, a few people cowered in corners smoking or injecting something into themselves Jon could not care enough to see. He looked behind him, noticing the footsteps slowly faded. He slowed down, sighing as he found himself alone. He looked around, lost..

Eduardo however was looking all around, he sighed as he realized he had lost Jon. He slowed down to not get himself too amped up. The words from the smaller man panged through his head, as if someone was clacking his words and Eduardo's mind to spark a fire, or in this case a memory, in him. His body shuddered as he walked through the abandoned neighborhood. "Where th' fuck am I.." the slightly winded man muttered to himself. He looked around. "Who just goes on a hunt for someone, cons them out of coffee, dumps a random question like that out of no where, and runs!" Eduardo exclaimed in annoyance. "A kiss? What does he even mean by that!.. It's not like I kissed him when i said that stupid apology.. right? Yea, I'd remember that" Eduardo hummed to himself as he looked around. He tried to figure out where the hell he was. He looked at the sky then decided he may as well just try and go home, it's not like Jon had anywhere he could go.

Jon walked around nervously, getting stopped by a few beggars and druggies asking for money. He waved them off politely, just trying to find a way back home. He sighed softly and finally saw an exit, booking it to get back to the roads. Once he was there, he looked around, his smile dropping quickly as he realized he was no where he had ever seen before. He whined softly, wrapping himself into a hug as he sheepishly walked in the unfamiliar neighborhood. He looked around, giving a small smile to anyone he saw. He hunted for main roads. It felt like he had been walking for hours now because of his incident with Eduardo. "I shouldn't have asked him, he's gonna be so mad when i get home.." Jon murmured, tears filling his eyes. "Why did I bring it up.. He's just gonna hate me more and hurt me worse.. I'm such a dunce.!" Jon raised his voice, slamming his fist into a wall and crying out in pain, quickly cutting his sounds off. He pulled his hand back and stared at it. He sighed softly, sniffling as he choked back his tears and sat on a bench. He felt a raindrop on his head, sighing in annoyance as looked at the sky, slowly shedding its tears along the area.

Eduardo sighed, zoning out as his mind slowly slipped. He just walked unconsciously as thoughts filled his mind. He unconsciously blushed lightly as a memory of Jon came into his mind. It was a foggy one though, difficult for Eduardo to see. He noticed a bench and sat down, letting his feet rest and his mind run.

~Flaaaaaashbaaaaaaack~

"You're sick, just accept it!" Jon pouted. "I'm not sick, sickness is fer losers!" Eduardo barked back, sniffling as he crossed his arms with a shiver. Jon sighed softly, grabbing a blanket and wrapping it around Eduardo. "I'm gonna go get the medicine, you stay put" Jon said as he walked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A bus stopped in front of Eduardo, snapping him back to reality as he looked around. He sighed as he looked at the bus, got up and got in. He sat down on one of the worn out seats. He looked up and shut his eyes, wishing for his mind to continue. The rain started pouring outside, giving him a sense of peace as he relaxed.

"Drink the medicine Eddie, I don't want you getting more sick" Jon softly said as he held the spoon of pink liquid out to Eduardo. "I don't wanna be spoon f-.. fe-" *Eduardo was caught off by a sneeze. He sniffled and sunk deeper into his warm blanket. "Please Eddie? For me?" *Jon softly asked, using his adorable puppy dog eyes. Eduardo stayed quiet for a moment then sighed, opening his mouth to let Jon give him the medicine. "You're lucky I don't feel like fightin.." Eduardo muttered, getting a small giggle in response from the other. He sighed and rested back against his pillows. "I'll leave you to rest, call me if y-" "Don't leave" Eduardo quietly cut Jon off. A silence filled the room for a moment before Jon broke it. "You really want me to stay?" Jon softly asked. Eduardo nodded slowly and opened the blanket, offering Jon a place. Jon hesitantly climbed into bed with Eduardo, a faint blush laid across his face.

The bus came to a stop, people getting off and on the bus. Eduardo yawned softly as he looked out, seeing the familiar area. He looked around and saw the next stop. 'That's close to the house, my next stop' Eduardo thought to himself quietly. He relaxed once more, waiting patiently as he thought about other things.

Jon rested against his seat calmly, completely unaware of Eduardo being on the same bus as him, just a few steps and a couple seats away. He smiled as he thought of his own bedroom, then quickly realized how that was gonna be his hiding space. He sighed softly. "Guess it's another closet night" he mumbled.

The bus came to its next stop just 10 minutes later.

Eduardo stood, walking out and quickly going under the bus stop's protective visor. Jon meanwhile got out and covered himself with his overcoat. He started walking quietly, not even noticing the roommate he was fearing. Eduardo however noticed Jon. He paused for a second before following him close behind. Ready to talk to him.. hopefully..
