Roadtrip Fanfic: 5th Wheel

Corey's POV

I never thought that I would escape from Alex. I never thought I'd meet the boy of my dreams and I certainly never thought I'd be touring with a boyband, but here I was cuddled into Mikey Cobban's chest, on a mini bus, on my way to Newcastle.

I know it's crazy. I just met him, but Mikey is one of the most loving people I've ever met in my life. He cares about everyone and he always puts others first. I don't usually open up to people, especially about Alex, I never told anyone but I trusted Mikey. I let him in. I really hoped that one day he would be mine...

"So Corey how come you are all bruised?" Rye asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.

I really didn't want to answer this, it felt too soon to tell them how Alex treated me. I looked up at Mikey pleading for help.

"It's personal Ryan" Mikey told him, protectively.

"Wow okay, calm down Mike, I'm just curious" he said defensively, holding his hands up.

Mikey shrugged and put his arms around me. One around my back, the other around my neck. I loved it when he held me, It made me feel safe. I never felt safe with Alex.

Mikey's POV

The look of fear Corey gave me when Rye asked what happened to him, broke my heart. He looked so fragile, I just wanted to hold him tight and never let go.

I could feel his head slowly dropping more into my shoulder and his body relax into mine but seconds later he would jump up again.

"Corey if you are tired just sleep, I'll wake you when we get to the hotel" I whispered to him. He simply nodded and relaxed into me once again.

As we pulled up at the hotel, in Newcastle, I looked down to see Corey fast asleep in my arms. He looked so peaceful I couldn't bare to wake him up. I know I said I would wake him but I physically couldn't bring myself to do so. He had a rough day and I wanted him to rest.

I picked him up slowly to ensure he wouldn't awaken. Though the boys all gave me knowingly looks and I desperately wanted to put my middle finger up to them I decided to ignore them and proceeded to my room.

I pushed the door open with my foot and lay Corey down on the double bed. He rustled in the sheets for a second but then slept peacefully. I quietly slipped my jeans, keeping my large hoodie on and tried to get comfy on a small chair that was in the corner of the room. I didn't want to cross a line sleeping next to him if he didn't want me there, after all he just broke up with his ex.

I watched as he slept. He truly was beautiful. He was kind. He was smart. He was funny. His laugh was adorable. His sleepy speech was the cutest. His messy hair. His cheeky smirk. From the second I laid eyes on him, I felt scared. Scared of him, scared of breaking him, scared of scaring him. He was fragile, he needed protecting. I wanted to protect him. I wanted to be there for him. I wanted to call him mine.

I tossed and turned for about an hour before a voice called me.

"Mikey"Corey whispered.

I looked up and saw a sleepy looking boy huddled into the duvet sheets of the bed.

"Why are you sleeping on a chair?" He asked with a chuckle.

"I didn't know if you'd want me to sleep next to you after-" I started.

"Don't be silly get in here" he cut me off and shuffled over, lifting up the duvet for me to join him.

I cautiously made my way to the bed and said under the duvet next to him.

We lay there, in silence, staring each other in the eyes. I was just admiring his beauty. Studying and memorising every feature of his skin, from his cute freckles to his bright green eyes.

His hand reaches up to meet my hair. He twirled his fingers into my messy curls as I just watched him.

As his hand slowed down and rested on my head, I could feel my breath hitch in my throat. Our eyes met once again. He slowly leant his face towards mine as I done the same. I was still so scared of breaking him but I knew I needed to take a chance if I wanted him.

I could feel his breath on mine as I slid my hand around his neck. I pulled him closer and-

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
"GUYS WAKE UP WE NEED TO GET TO THE VENUE" Blair shouted waking us up.
