"Hey, what're you- oh, shit."

Jax let out a silent breath, feeling defeated. Of course he had to say that loudly, now all eyes were on him, and everyone was giggling.

"Gilly, look at the road," Jax scolded, though his voice was now hushed, because there was a sleeping person resting against his shoulder and he wasn't about to wake him up.

He wish he hadn't made a sound, he'd just been so lost in thought, looking out the window as endless grass and cows rolled by, that feeling a weight on his shoulder had startled him. And by speaking, he'd drawn his friends' attention to his sleeping boyfriend cuddled up against his side, and they were sure to tease them.

Well, fake boyfriend.

See, when Jax had come out to his family, they hadn't believed him. His sister had, of course, but his mother and father? They thought he was just confused. He knew they weren't homophobic, they just genuinely didn't believe that he could be gay.

Which... sounded homophobic, but thinking too hard about that was surely bad for him.

They were on a roadtrip to the country side in Enchantasia, because they all wanted to spend vacation together, and when Jack had told his mom, she'd insisted they all come to the farm so she could meet them.

"Aww, look at the lovebirds," Ollie teased.

"Shut up," Jax said, voice regrettably still soft, which made everyone giggle harder because apparently it was funny that he didn't want to wake up Jack. Jax didn't get it. He was doing perfectly acceptable boyfriend things, and they all found it funny. Jax despised them for it. He liked to pull the 'you're just homophobic' on them sometimes, except it didn't work when like three fourths of the friend group was in very gay relationships (even Jocelyn and AG were in a QPR).

Speaking of AG, she frowned slightly and whispered to Jax, "Look at his face. I think he's having a nightmare."

Jax looked down, and yes indeed, Jack's face looked troubled. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, almost distressed, and if Jax listened close enough, he could hear soft, shaky breaths.

"Oh," Jax said smartly.

"Well... aren't you gonna do something about it?" AG prompted. "When I have nightmares, Jocelyn just holds me. I don't know if it would work while he's asleep, but give it a shot."

Jax internally sighed. He knew that fake dating Jack meant he would be in these types of situations often, but... it was still embarrassing how often these things had happened in the past month. Jack was unfortunately very traumatized, which meant they had ended up cuddling many, many times to keep the act up.

Jax refused to admit that he didn't mind it so much, and that he had started feeling relieved whenever Jack calmed down from whatever traumatic flashback he was having. And he definitely hadn't even acknowledged the fact that he had started giving Jack small kisses on his cheek and forehead, even when no one was around.
