Broken Glass (Joshua x reader)

Chapter 4

I slowly opened my eyes, coming to my senses once again. My face flushed a deep red, as I looked at Joshua's sleeping face. His ash-blond hair lightly fell into his eyes, as his mouth was parted slightly. His chest raised up and down in a steady heartbeat. His arms were wrapped around me, holding me in place, as my hands were placed onto his chest. With his v-cut shirt, I was pressing down onto his skin. He mumbled something in his sleep, which immediately caught my attention.

"... no.... don't...." I raised an eyebrow, wondering what he was dreaming about. I slightly wriggled and brought my hand up to his face as I brushed a strand of his hair behind his ear. He moved slightly and moved my body even closer to his if that was possible. I placed a hand on his cheek, which made my hand brush against another stray strand of hair. My eyes widened as I realized how soft it was. How had I not noticed this earlier?

I played with strands of his hair, lightly twirling it between my fingers. I turned my head and saw my phone sitting on the edge of the bed. I turned my body in an awkward position and reached behind me to grab it. Opening the camera, I snapped a quick photo before throwing my phone back behind me. I smiled, and continued to play with his hair.

He seemed so peaceful sleeping, compared to the smirk he always wore which gave him a flamboyant attitude. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice his violet eyes opening until his voice rang in the air.

"Hehe. Having fun dear~" My face heated up slightly, giving it a pink hue. But, I continued to run my fingers through his hair.

"It's so soft," I said. "Why didn't you ever let me do this before?" Joshua smirked and leaned into my face.

"You never asked. I would've let you do that all day long. It felt good." I brought my hand to my chest and noticed that our faces were barely touching noses.

"J-Joshua, could you please let go of me? I need to get up," I said. Joshua groaned and wrapped his arms tighter around me.

"No. You're just so comfy (Y/n)~ You're now my new teddy bear~ So warm too~" I blushed and squirmed to get out of his grasp.

"T-Teddy bear? What the hell is going through your mind?! Wait, I don't want to know, but what I want to know is what you were dreaming about." For the first time, Joshua stayed silent. "You were mumbling something in your sleep. You were saying 'no' and 'don't'. You do know that you can tell me right? It's not fair to make me tell you all my dreams but you don't tell me about any of yours."

"... You know, that was the first time I've slept in awhile. I don't get much sleep. Whenever I do, this happens."

"You're avoiding the question."

"Alright, fine. I was dreaming about you. Pretty much all of my dreams are nightmares. But I didn't know you were that concerned for me~ Maybe I should be like this more often~" Joshua said, looked at me with half-lidded eyes.

"Oh whatever you jerk! I can't help not caring about you. But you need to get more sleep. Sleep is important-"

"It's also the only thing you seem to do."

"-And you hardly get any of it. Where do you even sleep?"

"Nowhere. I don't sleep."

"Liar."

"Ouch. That hurts (Y/n)," Joshua said, pretending to grab at his chest. "But what hurts more is the fact that you took a picture of me and didn't tell me about it." He let go of me, and stretched, holding his arms far above his head.
