I know you better -Shoey-

Chapter 16: Bath time

{Joeys Pov}

I went in to give him a hug. He smelt.. Funky.

Joey: Shane.. What smells?

Shane: Probably me. I haven't taken a shower in days.

Joey: Not even after we...???

Shane: Nope!

Shane laughed.

Joey: Shane! That's dirty!

Shane: I wanna taste you forever!

Joey: Im supposing you haven't brushed your teeth either.

Shane just smiled innocently.

Joey: Come on! Let's get you decontaminated!

Shane: What?

Joey: You desperately need a long bath!

Shane: Shouldn't you leave?

Joey: Honestly I don't want you to be alone anywhere right now.

Shane: Don't you trust me?

I just gave him a look that said 'After that?' And Shane decided to drop the subject.

Shane: I don't feel comfortable being naked.

Joey: Shane! Your body is beautiful! It would be even more beautiful if you ever ate anything. I don't like it when you starve yourself. I know my words cant fix it but I just want you to be healthy again. Plus we've already done it so it's not like I haven't seen it all.

Shane: I know...just..

I could feel the uncomfortableness in his voice. Now I'm uncomfortable.

Joey: Put on your bathing suit.

{Shanes Pov}

I quickly climbed in the bath with Joey, us both having swimsuits on.

Joey took the bar of soap and started scrubbing me.

Shane: I'm a big boy. I can give myself a bath.

I laughed and took the bar of soap from Joey.

Joey started touching my stomach and ribs, feeling around. Geez.

Joey: How does wind not just blow you away?

He whispered to himself quietly. But I still heard him.

Shane: I don't know it works for flying squirrels.

Joey: Oh sorry!

Shane: It's fine.

Joey: I don't want you to feel insecure or something.

Shane: You cant make someone who's already insecure, insecure some more.

Joey: I think you're beautiful.

Shane: You say that now.

Joey: What?

Shane: You're gonna leave me again someday. And I'm gonna be devastated and you're gonna be happy.

Joey: That's not true! I'll try not get mad anymore! It's my fault! I know you don't like Devon like that. Stacy told me.

I placed my hand on Shanes. And looked home in the eyes.

Joey: I love you. I will love you forever.

Shane: Promise?

Joey: Promise.

Shane: I love you too.

Shane finished getting cleaned and we got out.

-------------A couple hours later----------

I didn't want to go back to my moms. She's still having a hangover, and she's not very motherly whenever she's having a hangover.

Joey: Do you mind if I spend the night?

I said, awkwardly. I didn't know how he felt about me. But it surprised me when he walked towards me, wrapped his arms around me, and gave me a kiss on the forehead.

Shane: I don't mind at all.

He said with a smile. I gave him a kiss on the lips.

Shane: Need to borrow some pajamas, again?

Shane said laughing.

Joey: Please?

He tossed me a 'My Chemical Romance' shirt. It was extra large and almost came down to my knees. He put on some pajama pants and crawled into bed. I crawled in beside him. He wrapped his arms around me, burying his face in my chest.

Shane: God Joey you smell so good.

Joey: You're just smelling yourself on this shirt.

Shane crawled underneath the covers and put his head under my shirt.

Joey: Shane!

I laughed.

Shane: You smell so good Joey.

Shane came up from the covers and I gave him a kiss on the lips.

Joey: I love you.

Shane: I love you too, baby.

Joey: Goodnight.

Shane: Goodnight.

He gave me a kiss on the cheek and wrapped his arms around me, burying his head in my chest again, and we fell asleep.
