This is the fifth Jasher oneshot.

Joshua sees a shooting star, and makes a wish. Will it come true? Told from a single POV.

Joshua POV

I couldn't take much more of this feeling. It was a feeling I had for a couple of months now, and I was beginning to lose control of my mind.

At the end of the day, it was Asher's fault. Why did he have to be such a nice guy? Why does he make it so easy to love him?

I've always had a big heart, one which has allowed me to show compassion and support to anyone who needs it. But it ached so much... I wanted to be with Asher, but lets face it, that was never going to happen.

I looked out of my window and saw the night sky. It was calming, but then I saw a shooting star. I knew it was a long shot, and I decided to make a wish.

Me: Please let Asher love me. I don't care what the consequences are for my career, I just want to be with him.

I went to bed and cried myself to sleep. I could have just told Asher, I suppose, he wouldn't hate me. Then again, I didn't want to take that risk.

When I woke up, I noticed that I had received a text from Asher. That in itself wasn't strange, we text each other constantly, but what he wrote made me think.

*Text Conversation*

Asher: Hey Joshua, fancy meeting up? I need to talk to you about something

Me: Sure Asher, where to?

Asher: Can you come over to my house?

Me: Okay, see you soon.

*End of Text Conversation*

I couldn't tell whether or not he sounded desperate in asking me to meet him. I put it to the back of my mind and got changed. I didn't have time to say anything to my parents, so I went out of the door and closed it behind me.

Walking to Asher's, I noticed that everything was very peaceful, yet vibrant. The flowers looked like they were glowing in the sun.

I was outside Asher's house and I knocked on the front door. A couple of seconds later, Asher answered, and he threw his arms around me.

Asher: I'm glad you're here.

Me: So am I.

I followed him inside, and we went into the kitchen. He made us both a drink, so we sat down at the table and he started talking to me.

Asher: I have a question Joshua.

Me: Okay Asher, what is it?

Asher: If someone constantly smiles at you, or always pays you compliments, or makes you laugh at things that other people wouldn't find funny, what does that mean?

I thought about what he had asked. It was a very long and complex question, which made me more confused.

Me: That sounds to me, like this someone probably likes you, maybe even loves you.

Asher: And if they are the only thing I've been thinking of recently?

Me: I think that means you must love them back.

Asher: Thanks dude, I think I've worked out what is going on.

Me: You have? That's great, so what is it?

Asher: We are soulmates.

My cheeks felt like they were burning from the blush that was appearing on them. Did I hear him correctly, is he saying what I want?

Me: You and me?

Asher: Yes, I've thought about it constantly over the last couple of days.

Me: So I haven't been subtle?

Asher: Joshua... You couldn't be more unsubtle with your feelings.

Me: Sorry Asher, this is my fault.

I felt bad because I thought that I had confused him, but the smile that appeared on Asher's face told me that he was very sure of his feelings.

Asher: Hey, it's not a crime to be in love with me. And I hope you don't think it's a crime that I'm in love with you either.

Me: That's... you really feel like that?

Asher: I know in my heart, that we need to be together.

Me: What makes you say that?

Asher: Because you are the only person that has ever made me feel happy.

I felt disbelief as it seemed like my wish was going to come true. Asher distracted me by standing close to me. He put his hand on mine.

Me: Your dimples drive me crazy.

Asher: Aww, keep saying things like that and you'll see them a lot!

I lost control of my senses, and I felt his breath on my face as I closed the gap. I felt him relax the moment our lips connected. We stayed like that for a few minutes, and his warmth made me know for sure how right this was.

Me: Even the biggest dreams can come true.

Asher: They sure do.

Me: I have loved you for the longest time.

Asher: I love you too cutie.

We laughed at each other, it was a little bit surreal to feel so much love from one person, but that person was perfect for me.
