For Him//Jachary Havery

30

Author's note: So for the next 10 more days I am quarantined. So I may be able to write more considering I can't go anywhere or do much of anything.

Jack's POV

The boys bring us food and after I finish I take a second to look at Zach. After a few minutes I realize he hasn't eaten much at all. Maybe hes just not hungry. Just in case I will keep an eye on him.

He sets aside his plate and I look away. I play on my phone a bit before getting a shower. I get out and get dressed. I walk out and I find Zach on the bed on his phone.

"Hey" I say. His eyes snap up from his phone to me.

"Hey. Nice shower?" He smiles.

"Yeah" I smile. "Much needed"

"Yeah you stunk. I didn't want to say anything" He jokes.

"Yeah yeah" I playfully roll my eyes. He laughs.

"I'm bored"

"What do you expect me to do?"

"Help me not be bored"

"I don't know what to do to help"

"Ughhhhhhh. They are not ever going to let us out"

"They will eventually"

"Are you sure about that?"

"Nope. I was trying to sound positive though" I laugh. He smiles.

"It helped a bit"

"Good. I'm glad" I lay beside him. "I could sleep forever"

"But that would make me even more boredddd"

"How is that my problem?"

"I will keep waking you up"

"Ughhhhh"

"Sucks doesn't it" He laughs.

"Yeah it does you ass" I laugh with him.

"I got one" He smirks. I roll my eyes. We end up goofing off for the rest of the day. It feels amazing to have my best friend back.

*that night*

Still Jack's POV

I wake up and I roll over to check to time 2:26 a.m.. Ughhh why am I up? I roll back over and I see a light. It takes me a minute to realize its Zach's phone.

"Hey what are you doing up?" I ask. He jumps.

"I uh couldn't sleep"

"You could have woken me up"

"You need sleep"

"So do you"

"I'll be fine, " He says before mumbling, "it's nothing new"

"You haven't been sleeping?" He looks up at me before slowly shaking his head. "Why not?"

"I don't know. Its been going on for a while. I think its because my mind won't shut up long enough for me to sleep"

"Come here" I open my arms for him.

"I'll be fine"

"Come on we can cuddle as friends. We can see if it helps you sleep. I can even sing you to sleep if you want. I know it used to work on tour" I smile. He is hesitant at first but crawls into my arms. I wrap my arms around him tightly. I start singing For Her by Chris Lane, but I change the words a little to make it For Him. Soon he is out cold and I smile before kissing his forehead. Soon I let myself fall asleep. Not wanting to let him out of my arms again.
