The Nerd and the Jock [J.D. AU] - Book 1

10: Stay With Me

Daniel POV

As Joey and I lie in the park, observing the stars, we cuddle in close to each other and from that moment I fell harder for Joey than I already have.

"Joey, I was wondering, I know we've been nice to each other for a short time time but I was wondering if you wanted to be my boyfriend?" I ask him, turning my head so my eyes land on the adorable emo boy next to me. His head turns and his glorious and mysterious blue-green eyes meet mine.

"Yes, I would love to be your boyfriend." He said. I smile and our heads start inching towards each other. I watch at Joey's eyes flutter close and mouth opens slightly. I follow suit and our lips meet in a passionate and romantic kiss under the October stars. We slowly pull away and Joey curls up beside me and my arm, as if in instinct, wraps around his body and I hold him close, not wanting to let him go.

"I love you Daniel Preda." I hear him whisper as soft snores escape his lips soon after.

"I love you too Joey Graceffa." I reply as I hold him closed and his head nuzzles into my neck.

About an hour later I discreetly check my phone and the time says 11:30pm. I look as Joey is still asleep. I carefully and quietly unwrap myself from him and walk over to the car and open the back foot. After that, I walk back to Joey and pick him up. I carry him to the car and place him into the back seat, slowly and carefully leaning him back until he is laying in the back. I close the door and then get in the drivers seat and start the car to start the short journey to his house.

Once I arrive, I park the car and then gently nudge Joey to wake him up.

"Wake up sweetie." I say. He stirs and opens his eyes slowly before rubbing then like a tired child.

"Where are we? What time is it?" He asks.

"It's 10 to midnight and were at your house." I tell him. He nods and then yawns. I lie at him and he gets up and out of the car.

"How long was I asleep for?" He asks.

"Just over an hour." I tell him and then shut the car door behind him. We walk up the steps to his house and then we share a kiss in front of the door.

"Stay with me?" He asks me, sticking his bottom lip out slightly. I smile at him and then kiss his cheek.

"Of course." I say and we both enter the house. He guides me upstairs and opens his bedroom door. We walk in to find Cat passed out on a giant Totoro plush pillow. I look at Joey and he giggles. We both strip down to our boxers and climb into the bed.

"Good night sweetie." I tell him.

"Good night Prince Charming." He says before we both fall asleep, cuddling and enjoy each other's warm embrace.
