He Saved Her Life

I'll Be Gentle

-1:45 am-

*Josh's POV*

Ricky replaced my spot where Jasey had her head rested in my lap. I had to get up and do a few things around the house. I also needed to bathe Thunder, so I did that.

There was a knock on the front door, so I went to answer it, knowing it was. I opened the door and there stood Jack. "Come on in, man. She's in the living room with Ricky." I said, and opened the door further so he could walk in. He slipped his jacket off and set it on one of the hooks behind the door then went into the living room. Me following close behind.

"Here, let me take your spot, Rick." Jack said with a smile. Ricky smiled back and they carefully switched places so now Jack has Jasey in his lap. He ran his hand over her head and kissed her forehead lightly. He's been close with her the same amount as Tony basically. So this isn't weird at all for me to see.

"Hey sweety, you should wake up so you can see who's here." Josh said lightly into the room. Her eyes fluttered a bit before she fully opened her eyes. "Hi Jacky." She mumbled, not fully realizing that he's here. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times at me. "Wait." She said, slowly sitting up. "When did you get here?" She asked, her hand lightly resting on my arm. "Not too long ago. You're adorable when you're sleeping, you know." I said, brushing her hair back from her face with my fingers. "Shut up. I am not." She said. "Yes you are, all 3 of us guys know this." Josh said with a bright smile. "He's right, you know." Ricky added.

We all talked for awhile and Jasey showed me all the injuries she acquired from the accident. I couldn't stay long because we have a show in a few hours, but I wasn't gonna leave until I had no choice. I came here to be with her when she needs me, so if I'm a little late to the show, I'm sure the guys will understand and so will the fans.

-A few hours later-

"I better get going. I don't want to, but when work calls, you don't have much of a choice. I love you little one, you get some rest and I'll call you later to check on you." I whispered, kissing Jasey's head as she sleeps in her's and Josh's bed. She fell back asleep about 30 minutes ago. I saw a small smile appear on her face in her sleep before I turned around. I said my goodbyes to Ricky and Josh and headed out the door.

*Josh's POV*

Jack left, Ricky left, and now it's just me, Thunder, and Jasey. Back to normal for now. I'm actually glad no one else is here now. I filled Thunder's bowl with fresh water and food then headed to the studio to play my keyboard while Jasey slept.

-2 Hours later-

I woke up in my room with Thunder by my side. Her head perked up a bit when I sat up. Slowly, but I did. "Hey girl, where's Josh?" I asked as I pet her head. She jumped off the bed and patiently waited for me to get up. Being sore is not fun. She stayed by my side as we walked through the house to where Josh is. Which seems to be the studio. I smiled to myself when I could hear the soft key sounds from his keyboard once we got closer to the studio.

I love it when he plays just for his satisfaction. He's really talented and knows how to actually play without having someone singing a song along to the beat. I quietly sat down on the couch inside the studio, Josh not noticing since his back is towards me.

Thunder walked over to his side and laid beside him, gently nudging his leg before setting it down on her crossed paws. Josh's hair has grown out a bit, if hangs more over his face now than it did before. Yet, his face is still so flawless. Beautiful. I can't help but always see it in my dreams, whenever I close my eyes, really.

"I can feel you staring at me, goofball." Josh said suddenly, startling me a bit. "I'm just admiring." I stated with a small smile. "Admiring what? I haven't done anything new." He laughed, walking towards me and kneeling in front of me, his hands on my knees. "That doesn't matter to me. You're always handsome. The way your hair has grown out, your skin is always so soft, just everything about you is admirable." I said, gently placing my right hand on his cheek. He smiled, gently pulling me from the couch to sit in front of him on the floor. "I love you, you know that?" He said, kissing my head. " I love you too, and I've always known that." I said.

After awhile, we got up and went to our bedroom and sat on the bed. Just talking about things. Anything we could possibly talk about. Friends, dogs, cats, movies, music, everything. We haven't done that in awhile, it feels nice.

"I've missed us talking like this all the time. It seems we don't often have much time to do this lately." I mentioned. "The band can take a lot out of someone's life if you get too sucked into it. If kinda sucks, especially when you don't realize it at first." He said, laying back against the pillows. "Thankfully you have Chris to help remind you of your humanity." I said, laying back with him. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I'm lucky to have him as such a great friend. And without him, I wouldn't have found you. Which makes him a better friend." He said, now holding himself above me. I lay there just staring into his eyes. How they sparkle with lust and romance. How he's so gentle around me even if I wasn't injured. He doesn't want to hurt me. Ever. I can see that just by looking into his eyes.

Without thinking, I reached my hands around his neck and pulled his face to mine. Kissing his soft lips with as much passion that I could find in myself. He kissed back with more passion. One of his hands at my waist, another still holding him in place. I found myself wanting more.. My hands easily slipping his shirt off, mine being removed shortly after. His lips neck to my ear make my whole body tingle. "I'll be gentle. I promise" he whispered. One thing lead to another and we both ended up naked on our bed and doing what every couple does when they're madly in love. Except, for me, this is my first. And he knows it, and I couldn't be more happy to be letting him be the one to take this from me.
