Do you guys like how slow paced the story is or do you want confessions soon?

Jakes POV

We were in a rental car on our way to our hotel and I was getting bored. Sure it was 7am and I hadn't slept since 12am but I wasn't the least bit tired. Everyone  was asleep except me and Tom. We were sitting in the back of the long vehicle with piles of blankets on us. We sat facing each other with our legs crossed. There was still an hour until we got to the hotel and Tom was killing time by showing me his magic tricks. I rolled my eyes

"My magic tricks are waaayyy better."

"Oh yeah? Let's see some then."

I pulled a pencil out of my bag and gave it to Tom.

"Okay put the pencil in your lap and put your hands together like this."

I showed him how to hold his hands and he attempted to mimic my hands.

"You're doing It wrong! Here let me help."

I grabbed his hands and put them in the correct position.

"Okay now try to pick up the pencil with your mouth." I could barely hold in my laughter.

He looked at me like he thought I was joking but did it anyways. Tom easily picked the pencil up and was holding it in his mouth.

"Now what?"

I couldn't hold it in anymore. I started laughing hysterically. The man next to me frowned

"Not funny Jakey!"

My breath hitched.

Fuck he's adorable

I was brought back to reality by Tom draping a blanket over both of our heads.

"Look it's like a fort!" He said excitedly while grinning.

I smiled and suddenly got an idea. I turned to face forward and gestured for Tom to do the same. Looking around I grabbed a couple blankets and hung them all around me and Tom, boxing us in. I then grabbed my laptop and moved closer to the man next to me. The second he saw me open Netflix his eyes lit up. I put on a random romantic movie and looked over at Tom. I studied his face for a good ten minutes before turning to watch the movie.

              ••~••~••~••~••~••~••~••

    I looked up from the movie with teary eyes. I couldn't help but cry at this beautiful movie and possibly also cried a little out of jealously because the man in the movie got to be with the woman he loved and I couldn't be with the man I had fallen in love with.
  
    Zendaya pulled back a blanket and popped her head into our fort.
     
     "I  totally thought you guys were making out. Oh yeah and we're here."

    Has it really been an hour?

  Even out of the corner of my eye I could see Tom turn bright red at what Z had said.

   He looks so cute with red cheeks. I have to get him to turn that colour again.

   "Maybe we were." Tom immediately turned bright red again
   
    "JAKE!!"

   "Hey I'm joking, I'm joking." I laughed and put my laptop away

     Tom started taking the blankets down and putting them back in his bag dedicated to just pillows and blankets.

   We quickly finished putting our things away and got out of the car where we were greeted with another car that Z and Jacob were already in.

   Great we have interviews right away.

  Our bags were taken by hotel staff to be put in our rooms and we got in the other vehicle. This was gonna be an exhausting day.
       
                *********************

I was in Jacobs room with everyone else and I was practically falling asleep standing up.

   "I think I'm gonna go back to my room and go to bed now. Bye guys."

   That was a lie. I wouldn't be able to sleep without Tom tonight and I was dreading it. This hotel wasn't very full so we all got our own rooms this time and I hated it. Now I couldn't cuddle with Tom without him finding it was weird that I just showed up at his room to cuddle.

   I unlocked my door and walked to the bathroom so I could have a cold shower that would hopefully wake me up.

    I finished my shower and put on a pair of sweatpants. I walked over to my bed and just sat there watching tv for what was probably a couple hours when I heard a knock on my door.

   I got up and answered the door. There stood Tom who looked a nervous wreck.

    "Uh Jake I k-know you have trouble with sleeping so uh you know maybe I can sleep in here with you?"

   I smiled at the shorter man and pulled him into a hug. No words were needed.

    We got into bed and I wrapped my arms around Toms waist, making him gasp. He probably wasn't expecting me to cuddle him again tonight. I was about to pull away when a warm body pressed firmly against mine and a head rested on my chest.

  "Goodnight Jakey." Tom said while yawning. I  thought I heard an almost inaudible "I love you" but decided that my mind was making things up.

   I waited a few minutes before speaking, assuming that Tom was asleep by then.

"Goodnight Love." I whispered and laughed quietly

  I sound like a British dude.

I fell asleep shortly after that.

Toms POV

   I couldn't fall asleep after I heard Jake call me love.

Obviously he didn't mean too. Maybe he was joking? He did joke before about making out. But there was nobody around to hear his joke this time.

I started shaking slightly and I felt Jakes arms subconsciously get tighter around my waist, effectively calming me down. I carefully pressed a kiss to Jakes cheek and relaxed in his arms.

  I felt my eyelids getting heavy as I drifted off to sleep, determined to help Jake as much as I could every night.

Third POV

   Both men were unaware that the other was awake to witness their acts of love to each other and didn't feel each other's sped up heartbeat before falling asleep happily together.
