Summary: Cary is afraid of thunderstorms, so he goes over to Joe, looking for comfort. He's finds that, and maybe more.

Cary ducked under the covers as lighting flashed outside the window, covering his ears just in time for the thunder to crash around the house.
'Boom'
As soon as the house stopped shaking, Cary scrambled out of the sleeping bag he was laying in and hurried across the room to the bed that held the rooms owner.
"Joe... Joe, wake up... Come on man, wake up!" Cary whisper-shouted, trying to get his friend to wake up. Joe turned over but didn't wake.
"Dammit Joe! Wake the fuck up man!" Cary said, shaking his friend and leaning close to his friends ear so he didn't have to speak too loud.
Joe stirred and opened eyes, sleepily taking in his surrounding then jolting awake at the look on his friends face.
"Cary, are you ok? Is something wrong? Whats going on- Umph!" Joe said, having had Cary's hand slapped over his mouth to keep him from yelling. Joe squirmed around for a few seconds but stopped when Cary raised a hand to calm him down.
"I'm going to take my hand off your mouth, but keep quiet, okay?" Cary whispered, earning a nod from Joe, so he removed his hand as promised.
"What the hell is going on Cary?" Joe asked in a whisper. Cary fidgeted for a second then sighed.
"I'm scared of the storm"
Joe blinked owlishly for a second, then doubled over, pressing a hand over his mouth so as to not make any noise. Cary flushed crimson, and punched Joes arm which only caused him to laugh even harder.
"It's not fucking funny!"
"Actually, it kinda is man," Joe said as he got control of his laughter, he pulled back the covers on his bed and motioned to the spot besides him with his head, "Do you wanna sleep with me?"
Cary looked at his friend like he had grown a second head, but another flash of lighting made him leap in next to Joe, burying his head in Joe's chest as the thunder boomed.
Joe chuckled, the sound reverberating in his chest against Cary's ear, and rubbed his friends back soothingly, humming lightly while doing so. Cary slowly relaxed in his friends embrace, relaxing his hold on Joe's t-shirt and laying his hands flat against Jeo's chest, tensing when ever the thunder crashed.
Just as Cary was about to fall asleep, Joe nudged him.
"Cary..."
"Hmm?"
"Did you just use the thunderstorm as an excuse to lay in bed with me?"
Cary stiffened for a second before relaxing again and mumbling something against Joe's chest.
"What was that, I couldn't hear you"
"I said maybe..."
Joe smiled and kissed the top of Cary's head, resting his chin on top of it.
"Joe?"
"Yeah Cary?"
"... I love you"
"I love you too Cary"
