Jake has been sleeping in Johnnie's room all day. His hair is a mess and he is all tucked up in the emo's blankets.

And Johnnie has been playing video games all day, remembering to be quiet so he doesn't wake up Jake.

It was late now and the blue light of Johnnie's computer reflected on his face as he exited the game he was playing. He yawned and looked at the clock and noticed it was 12:45AM.

He hasn't seen Jake sleep this much but he didn't mind. After all, Jake deserved the sleep.

Johnnie carefully and quietly walked himself over to his bed. He crawled into it and laid down on his side. Admiring Jake's sleeping face.

He reached his hand over and brushed a strand of Jake's hair out of his face. Jake stirred a bit but went back to sleep immediately after.

"Cute.." Johnnie whispered as his cheeks warmed up. He felt a brick of emotions hit him at once.

He sighed as he laid on his back. He couldn't deny it, he has fallen in love with his best friend Jake Webber. No doubt about it.

He covered his eyes with his tatted arm, "fuck..I do love him," he whispered out the truth before he moved his arm and looked at Jake's sleeping face.

"But he won't love me.." Johnnie doubted as he scooted closer. Jake is still fast asleep, snoring softly and peacefully.

"It won't hurt to admire him though,..." Johnnie whispered as he leaned a hand close and caressed Jake's cheek.

As Johnnie caresses Jake's cheek. He felt tears fill his eyes. "Why did I fall for you..?" He whispered as a tear rolled down his face.

"You only see me as a friend and nothing more.." Johnnie doubted as he felt his heart pained. He scooted even closer so their bodies were almost touching.

Johnnie blinked his eyeliner covered eyes as he sniffled softly. "But I'm gonna be here for you, no matter what. Each step on this journey so we can figure it out... Together."

He leaned in and kissed Jake's forehead. Jake stirred, "What Johnnie..?"

Johnnie pulled back and blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry i– uh– you had something on your face and I was getting it off I didn't mean to uh– wake you" he made the excuse.

Jake believed it since he was so tired. He has a sleepy look in his eyes and his sleepy raspy voice. "oh alright.. do you want me to stay again tonight or do you want me to go to my room..?"

Johnnie shakes his head.

"You can stay with me for another night."
