Jyrus Oneshots - Part IV (COMPLETED)

Self Doubt

This is a Jasher oneshot.

Asher is nervous about all the attention he gets, and it's up to Joshua to make him feel better. Told from a single POV.

Asher POV

I was beginning to dislike interviews. I had nothing against answering questions or meeting new people, but I did find that all of the attention I got made it difficult to live life normally.

After finishing a particularly long interview, I went to find the rest of the gang. Seeing them made me feel at ease, as I didn't feel alone.

Joshua: I'm not sure how many interviews I'm going to be able to do.

Me: I hear you, I'm starting to zone out. They just take so long.

Joshua: Wanna go grab something to eat?

Me: Yeah, that would be nice.

I followed Joshua to the cafeteria and when we got our food, we sat down at a table away from other people.

Joshua: You seem distracted about something.

Me: Do I? I hadn't noticed.

Joshua: You saying that makes me know for sure that you are.

Me: Let's just enjoy our meal, I don't want to talk about it.

I was trying to get my mind off of everything that was going on. It was tiring and I wanted to have a moment to relax and forget about everything.

Joshua: You know, I hate seeing you like this.

Me: What are you talking about Joshua?

Joshua: You are being unsociable. I know it can be difficult, but you should talk about it.

Me: I'm not sure that you want to hear what I have to say.

To be fair to Joshua, he didn't back down. I really appreciate having such a loyal friend, but I was also worried that talking about it would be me complaining too much.

Joshua: Don't be silly Asher, you know that's not true.

Me: I just... Don't you find the attention from everyone is too much?

Joshua: I do, but that's just what happens when you're on TV.

Me: I wish we could just have some space to be ourselves.

Joshua: We do, it's not like people are always talking to us.

Me: I feel like I would like a break.

Joshua: And that's absolutely fine, so when you get the chance, take a break.

I saw the famous reassuring smile that Joshua had, and I felt much better. It was almost as if he had the power to calm me down.

Me: Thanks dude, I will.

Joshua: Just don't ignore me, as I'll be calling regularly.

Me: Don't worry about that, my phone will be on!

We laughed, and remembered that if we kept everything calm, we could get through even the busiest of times.

Thank you for reading.
