Jarter - Jared & Carter Fanfic.

One.

After a long shift at Magic Hour Jared finally arrives home to find Carter in his shirt sitting on the couch, hair still a little curly the way she styled it for work the day before. "Hi" Carter yawns looking around to see Jared walking to the fridge. "Hey" he smiles opening the fridge to find a plate of pre-prepared spaghetti and meatballs. "You didn't have to make me dinner Carter" he called out as he placed it in the microwave. "You always complain at work that you go to bed hungry, so seeming as I'm staying the night I thought I'd make you dinner" she smiled. The microwave beeped as Jared removed the plate grabbing cutlery from the rack with his free hand before walking over to sit with Carter. "Thank you" he whispered as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Your welcome" she said sleepily resting her head on Jared's shoulder.

It wasn't long before Carter was snoozing away with her head still leaning on Jared's shoulder as he finished his plate of pasta. Jared placed the empty plate on the table and as he gently woke Carter from her sleep. "C'mon go get into my bed, I'll take a quick shower and I'll be in soon" he murmured helping her sit up. Carter groggily stood up and made her way to his bedroom as Jared picked up his plate and took it to the sink rinsing it quickly before taking his shirt off and making his way to the shower. Carter stood in the doorway to his bedroom eyes just focusing enough to see the blue and grey striped duvet on his bed, walking over to turn back the blanket she slid into the soft sheets and began to doze off.

Jared emerged from the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist. Jared made his way to his bedroom quietly opening his chest of draws to pull out a pair of shorts to slip on before climbing into bed next to an already sleeping Carter. Jared laid on his back looking up to the ceiling wondering why he hadn't already invited Carter to stay the night more often, they'd only been together a month but he knew deep down the feelings were growing by the day. Jared let out a small sigh before turning to face Carter normally he would ignore Carter's presence as he didn't want to seem forward, but tonight he was willing to take the risk and wrap his arm around her.

As Jared softly maneuverer his muscular forearm around her waist he felt Carter stir beneath him, freeing her arm to grab onto his hand that was resting on his stomach pulling him closer as she let out a sleepy sigh. Jared nuzzled his nose into the crook of her neck and kissed it softly. Carter started to snore lightly as Jared began to settle. "I love you Carter" he whispered before falling into unconsciousness.
