Wanted ( A Shoey Fanfic )

Chapter 15 - Touch

Chapter 15

*Sawyer's POV*

"You guys's eyes! What happened?" I asked while looking from Shane's face to Joey's, both were dominated by a big black circle around one of their eyes. Shane looked okay if you didn't mention the dark circle. But Joey.. A deep red scar on his neck formed the center of attention, it started at the side of his chin and ended at his collarbones. I couldn't resist to touch it and stepped forwards past Shane and laid my finger on the top of the scar. Totally concentrated I followed the line down his collarbones.

"Ouchh!!"

From Joey's voice I could tell it hurt. "How did that happen?" I asked still looking at the red line on my roommate's neck.

"Well.. Come in Sawyer." Shane invited me to enter his and his girlfriend's apartment.

*Shane's POV*

Sawyer walked in and took Joey over to the couch by laying his hand on the bruised boy.

'Boy'... He's 22. So I should call him man. Man doesn't sound right when I see Joey.. It's nothing personal I think. He's just a boy. Not just a boy. My boy. Not.

I walked over to the kitchen and leaned on the counter again.. The counter is starting to be my 'I always stand here' place.. Who cares..

I lifted my head and saw Sawyer was touching the scar on Joey's neck again. He is touching Joey. My Joey. I know they are roommates but still he can't touch Joey in my presence. "You want something to drink, maybe?" I decided to take Sawyer out of his 'touching Joey' trance.

"Yes please! You got some kind of juice?"

"Since when you drink juice?!" Joey said quite impressed by Sawyer's answer.

While I opened the fridge and looked for juice, Sawyer told Joey that he had read in some article that juice would be good for your lungs. Joey who lay down on the couch laughed and questioned the article Sawyer had read.

"I've got pomegranate and apple juice.."

"Uhu! Pomegranate! Sawyer take pomegranate juice!" Joey shouted while giving Sawyer a 'pleasepleaseplease' look.

"What.." Sawyer chuckled. "Why? Because you like it?"

"Just take it you whore!"

Oh Joey.. Calling everyone sluts and whores. You gotta love him. And I can't wait till we finally get to film the recreation and I get to touch Joey..

Practically he told me he's fine with me touching him. A really calming thought. Not only calming. A little spark of hope has found his way back to my mind. Hope that he may like me. He. Joey.
