Childhood best friend

Joe found it

Jason immediately snatches the bag from Joe and frantically asked "Did you look in it?!" Joe crosses his arms and says "Yes!" In a firm voice. Natalie could tell he wasn't happy. Joe starts to walk out the room shaking his head in disappointment. Jason stops him by grabbing his arm begging him "Please don't tell mom!" Joe turns back around to face Jason again and says "you're lucky I care about Natalie." Jason let's him walk away this time but as he walked back over to the bed, Natalie could tell his heart is about to beat right out of his chest. Jason lays back down and puts his hands over his face exhaling his breath out of stress, nervousness, and fear. Natalie tries to comfort him by rubbing his abs shirtless saying "He won't tell. Don't worry about it." Jason puts his hands back down to his side and looks at Natalie with appreciation in his eyes. Natalie holds his hand and says "It's gonna be ok. How about we get some sleep to dream off the stress" Jason sighs and asks her "Do you love me?" Natalie shockingly responds "Of course! What makes you think I don't?!" Jason looked down to his feet while he was laying and shrugged his shoulder. "Nothing, just wanted to know." He says. Natalie gets confused and asks him "what's wrong?" Knowing something is bothering him or something's wrong. Jason sits up and starts "Because! I love you but I feel you might let some thing get n between us" Natalie holds his hand slowly rubbing the back of it with her thumb for comfort "What would I possibly let get in the way of us?" She assures him. "I don't know?!" Jason blurs out of stress. Natalie could tell by his tone it was out of stress. "You could let anything get between us....and that's what I'm scared of" Natalie rubs his back comforting him and says "I think you're just tired. I would never let anything  get between us" Jason kisses her passionately then releases and says "Maybe I am just tired" Natalie smiled and started to lay down. Her and Jason laid like a puzzle piece, they both bent their knees and Natalie laid her back against his chest. Jason slowly rubs his hand up and down her side. He gets slower and slower until he completely stops. Natalie turned her head and he was passed out. Natalie held his hand and he hovered it about her small stomach. She fell asleep as well and felt safe. She turned on her other side a little bit later and laid her head in Jason's chest. She listened to his heartbeat which she valued. She listened to it as she drifted off to sleep. The next day she woke up realizing she had to go home today. She looked over and seen Jason getting dressed so she gets dressed as well. It was Saturday during the summer so it was going to be HOT outside. Natalie slide on her shorts and a revealing shirt, for a tease. Every once in a while she would catch Jason looking. Every time she caught him he awkwardly looked at her and she smiled then he would look away. They started walking to her grandmas but her parents weren't there yet so she walked back over to his house. She went back inside to see Joe sitting at the counter on one of the stools going live. Jason pulled Natalie back into his room and she was confused. "Why'd you bring me back here?!" Jason closed the door and said "Joe's live" Natalie shrugs and says in a snappy attitude "So? It's not like I'm going to get him banned from Instagram?!" Jason sighs "The fandom can't know about me and you." Natalie was offended "So you're not proud of me?!" "No no no I didn't say that see-" Jason explains but Natalie interrupts "What? Hm?" Jason continues "I don't want the fandom in the way" Natalie slowly goes from and angry face to a concerned 'feel bad' face as she slowly lowers her shoulders with Jason holding both her hands with each of his.
