Nothing To Fear Chapter 13
A/N: Hey all you guys, sorry about not updating for so long, I'm just getting used to life at my new school and everything so Fanfiction writing isn't exactly on the top of my list . I promise that I'll try to stay on top of my updates a little better than I am now.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters…I just wish I did…
The house was quiet. Too quiet for Jonathan's liking. By now, he had become so used to hearing Jervis' constant chatter day in and out that the silence seemed almost cold, uncaring. He paced back and forth, biting his nails, a nervous habit that he thought he kicked as a kid.
"What if I did something wrong?" He mumbled out loud to himself, "What if he didn't like the book?"
"The book was amazing, Jonathan, thank you."
Jonathan spun round, almost crashing right into the smaller man who was standing behind him.
"J-Jervis!" He stuttered, not bothering to conceal his surprise at all.
"Hello Jonathan, you look surprised about something. What, did you actually think that I wouldn't come back?" He laughed, "That's silly."
Jonathan smiled slightly.
"Look, I'm really sorry about what I said… You know that….Right?"
"Jonathan, you're starting to sound like a broken record."
"I know…" He sighed. "I'm just so-
He was cut off by Jervis grabbing the front of his shirt, pulling him down to his level, forcing their lips together. Jonathan gasped slightly, surprised by Jervis' forcefulness. Normally he was the one instigating the kiss.
He broke away, panting.
"So," He breathed, "It's all behind us, right?" Jervis nodded, smiling. Suddenly, his face lit up and he grinned. Breaking out of Jonathan's embrace, he rushed back towards the door. Moments later, he emerged with a small box in his hands.
"I hope you like it," He said, handing the box over to Jonathan. "I thought of you as soon as I saw it…"
Jonathan opened the box and arched an eyebrow.
"The complete works of Edgar Allen Poe…" He read out loud, a smile slowly creeping its way into his features. "How did you…?" Jervis shrugged.
"Well I thought 'A book for a book' and when I saw that…" He shrugged again. "I just figured…"
"Thank you…" Jonathan said, smiling.
"So," Jervis said, back to his usual chipper disposition. "Did you miss me?"
"No." Jervis frowned, dropping his gaze to the floor.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course not, idiot." Jonathan said, smirking. Jervis glared,
"That's not funny."
"Are you sure? I found it quite humorous."
"You have a horrible sense of humor, do you know that?"
Jonathan laughed softly, wrapping his arms around Jervis' waist, causing the smaller man to blush.
"Bad sense of humor aside," He murmured against Jervis' neck, "I'm glad you're back."
A/N: Look, I know this is reeeaaaallllyyy short, but you have to have pity, I just moved to a new school and I'm trying desperately to fit in. (it's not working XD) If it's any consolation, I have a field trip to Calgary this Thursday, and that means three straight hours on a bus, (Six if you count there and back) which I promise I shall use towards writing longer and hopefully better chapters. Please, don't be too mad at me :3
