CHAPTER FIVE

Day 3

I couldn't sleep. I was sitting at the mouth of the shelter, hugging my legs as I watched the rain fall. I wasn't scared of storms or anything, but it was a tradition that every time there was a storm Dad would make me and Jackson his famous Loco Hot Cocoa. Now I was here, terrified, just hoping that we'd be rescued before anyone else died and Dad was in America. Probably worried sick about me, probably about ready to come looking for me on his own. Would the searchers even still be looking right now? In the middle of a storm? Or would they have stopped looking until it passed? What if it didn't pass for days? Would they keep looking or just stop? Assume we were all dead? I didn't want my Dad to think that, it'd just about kill him.

"Hey." I looked over when someone sat next to me; Joe.

"Hey." I smiled weakly, turning back to watching the storm. Joe scooted closer to me and I couldn't help but lean into him when he wrapped his arm around me with his blanket. I'd left my blanket with Lilly and Lorraine - the little girl - we'd been using each other for warmth, but I didn't want to disturb them when I got up.

"Whatcha thinkin' about?" Joe asked softly.

"Would they keep looking during a storm?" I asked, feeling like a little kid.

"I don't know." Joe sighed, "it'd set the search back a day at least, maybe more."

"Why are you being so good to me?" I blurted out after a few silent minutes and he chuckled.

"I don't know." He admitted with a shrug. "Three years ago when we met, you were just this cool kid with pretty eyes, but..." He let out a breath and shifted a little, bringing us closer together as a gust of wind hit us, making us shivver. "When I saw you in the airport, it was like... I don't know, like I actually felt good about something for the first time in a long time. Then when I saw the wing on fire, I had to make sure you were safe, I thought I'd die if anything happened to you." I turned my eyes away from the storm and up to Joe's face, in the moonlight and lightening flashes he looked almost haunted. Damaged. What had happened to him in the last three years? "And you didn't make it easy either." Joe shook his head with an amused grin. "Risking your life for a damned teddy bear? Were you just trying to give me a heart attack?"

"Sorry." I blushed and he chuckled.

"Don't do anything stupid like that again, Milo." I felt his press his lips against my hair and I flushed.

"How was Otis when you got up?" I asked, reffering to the name Lilly had panicked and used in the instance when I became Milo to Joe.

"She kicks in her sleep." Joe grumbled and I laughed. "Violent little thing."

"Poor baby." I cooed mockingly.

"Yeah, well, I'm putting you between us, let's see how you like it." Joe threatened and I laughed again. "Come on, you should get some sleep, it's been a long couple of days." He could say that again. I sighed and let him pull me back over to where we were sleeping; the three brothers all together, Lilly and Lorraine. Joe tugged me down next him - and between him and Lilly- and wrapped his blanket around both of us again, holding me tightly and pressing his body against mine to share body heat.

I was woken by a particularly loud clap of thunder and I jolted. I rubbed my eyes sleepilly and checked my watch; 6:48 AM. I guess that was as close to a nights sleep as I was going to get. Most of the others were still sleeping from what I could see around the large pieces of plane being used as walls/support beams, but I could hear a few talking in hushed voices. I shifted a little sleepilly and that when I noticed. There was a hand on my breast, now that normally wouldn't be something I would panic about since it was usually mine, but this time the hand was large, unmistakably male, and more importantly; had snaked up under my shirt to grasp my bare flesh. My eyes widened and I tried to look around without moving. I looked back enough to see that it was Joe, and he was sleepilly peacefully still, a cute little smile on his lips. I took a moment to marvell at how... Beautiful he looked in his sleep - because beautiful was the only word to describe it - before I remembered the position I was in. I started try and remove his hand from under my shirt, biting my lip to hold in a moan at the feel of his guitar fingers brushing over my stiffened nipple. I let out a breath when his hand was safely down to my stomach, but then his grip on me tightened, pulling me back against him and I felt him grind into my backside.

"Sweet niblets." I whispered, Joe Jonas was having a dirty dream and grinding against me in his sleep. I don't exactly know what the protocall is here, but I had to do something, right? I couldn't just let him... Hump me in his sleep. Could I?

"Mmm..." Joe moaned in his sleep and that's when I decided I had to find a way to stop this. I tried to lift his arm and squirm out of his grasp, but the harder I tried the tighter he held me. What to do? What to do? I bit my lip and tried to move slowly. I know you're not supposed to wake a sleepwalker, but what about a sleep humper? Especially if it's going to be so awkward if he does wake up, but it'll be even more awkward if he wakes up after. "Mine." Joe mumbled with a contented sigh, his breath warm as it ghosted across my neck and shoulder. I tried to move again, but Joe held me tighter and grinded into me again before he jerked awake. "Shit." I heard him cruse against my collarbone. I quickly closed my eyes before he could see that I was awake, maybe if I pretended I was still asleep it wouldn't be so awkward? Joe gingerly lifted his arm from around me. "Don't wake up, don't wake up, don't wake up." Joe whispered frantically as I felt him sit up, careful not to touch me. "What are doin' to me, Babe?" It was hard to just lay here still whilst Joe started to freak out behind me. "Way to go, Jackass." He scolded himself. I peaked one eye open and saw that Lilly was awake and staring at me, I flushed and she furrowed her brow, her eyes flickering to Joe.

'What happened?' She mouthed at and I was lucky it was so dark because I was sure I was bright red. Should I tell her? I mean, it was kinda personal wasn't it?

"Stupid idiot, why can't you control yourself?" It almost souded like Joe was whimpering. I couldn't take it anymore, I was laying on my arm and it was uncomfortable and asleep. I closed my eyes and rolled onto my back, holding my breath and hoping Joe wouldn't know I was awake. I felt him feeze next to me and suck in a breath. Silence, he didn't move, he didn't speak, he didn't breath. I was sure he could hear the pounding of my heart though. After a few minutes he let out a breath of relief and I think that meant he thought I was still asleep. "Why do you have to be so sexy and gorgeous?" He spoke softly down to me and I bit my tongue, trying not to make a noise. "Fuck, this is gonna stain. You're gonna humiliate me, Milo. Next time I don't care how much I get kicked, at least you won't be able make me look like a twelve year old with wet dreams." I don't know why that made me sad, he was going to sleep next to Lilly next time. Maybe because despite only getting less than 5 hours sleep it was the best sleep I'd had in a long time, even when I was at home in my own bed. He was just so warm and cuddly, like a giant teddy bear. "And you." He lifted the blanket around us. "Don't you know when it's time to sleep? You're lucky you didn't wake Miley or you'd be very lonely for a few days." Was he talking to his penis? "I know you like her, but she doesn't need to know that, she'd probably run screaming for the hills." Okay, Joe Jonas was talking to his penis, the thought made me flush and hope he didn't notice. He sighed and I felt him lean over me. "Sleep tight, Beautiful." I felt his lips against my forehead before he was suddenly gone, I felt him get up and start to move away, muttering about stains and hiding them.

"What was that about?" Lilly whispered and I winced.

"Nothing." I whispered back, which was basically the biggest lie ever.

"What was he talking about? Stains and wet dreams?" I guess Lilly had heard him. "Did he do the dirty?"

"Shush, Lil." I whispered, which was all the confirmation she needed. "Don't let him know that either of us knows, do you know how awkward that would be?"

"More awkard than being dry humped by a Jonas Brother?" Lilly smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Just, promise you won't tell, Lils?" I begged, I didn't want Joe to feel humiliated.

"He's totally into you, Miles." Lilly said before she snickered. "Or at least he wants to be in you."

"Lil." I scolded, but she kept snickering to herself.

"He was scolding his dick, Miles." I'm glad Lilly could see the funny side of this. "I never knew guys did that. Is it all the time or just when they hump random girls in their sleep?"

"Leave him alone, Lilly, he's embarassed enough as it is, he doesn't need to know we know." I shifted uncomfortably, the thought of him pressed against me, I could still feel the heat of him all around me. The bulge in his cargo pants... I licked my lips at the thought, flushing in the darkness.

"What? Know that he can't hold his load? I thought he was the twenty-one-year-old ladies man, not the twelve-year-old who can't even sleep next to a girl." Nice to know that it was amusing to someone, and not totally embarassing.

"Lilly." I hissed and through the ocassional lightening strikes I saw her roll her eyes. I saw up and shook my head; what a way to start the day.

"Don't look now, but you're pre-pubescent is coming back." And then she turned over so her back was to us, I think she trying to pretend to Joe that she wasn't awake. I looked over and Joe was coming back, soaking wet.

"Joe." I gasped, moving over so he could sit down.

"M-Miley." He stared at me with wide eyes.

"Where'd you go?" I asked, he was just about shivvering. What, did he decide to go swimming in the ocean?

"Uh..." The lightening flashed and I saw his cheeks tinged pink. "I-I just needed some air."

"Oh." I nodded, I'd accept that, it was better than saying I was awake when he was dry-humping me. "You're freezing." I shook my head, I understood wanting to get away after that, but did he really have to go outside?

"I'm fine." He tried to dismiss, his usually curly and shaggy black hair falling down his face in a way that was totally sexy.

"Take your top off or you'll get pneumonia." I ordered, picking up the discarded blanket. "Come on." I urged when he just sat there. "You'll get sick if you stay in wet clothes."

"Fine." Joe grumbled, lifting his shirt over his head. I bit my lip as I wrapped his blanket around him, it wasn't much, and he was still in his wet pants, but it was better than nothing.

"And you scold me for risking my life unnecessarilly." I shook my head mockingly. "You better hope this storm clears so your clothes can dry."

"This is depressing." Joe muttered in a monotone. It was now mid afternoon and the rain had stopped at least, but the clouds were still dark and thick above us. No sunlight, no warmth, he was right, it did feel depressing. But, at least we got the fire going again, and the shelter was improved to make it taller so we didn't have to crawl everywhere, there was a place for a fire, and the leaks in the roof had been patched up. Right now we were all sitting around the large bonfire outside, not really doing anything. It was just one of those days.

"Yep." Lilly agreed on my other side.

"And boring." I added, on days like this I usually stayed inside with my guitar or at the piano and wrote lyrics or music, or I'd just chill on the couch and watch TV... None of which was possible on this damned island.

"Yep." Lilly repeated.

"Joey." I turned to him, batting my lashes sweetly and smiling.

"I have a feeling I'm going to regret sitting here in a minut." Joe mused and I giggled.

"Will you entertain us?" I requested sweetly. "Pretty, pretty, pretty please?"

"If I knew how to entertain anyone on this rock I wouln't be bored right now." Joe scoffed, rolling his eyes. "And don't call me Joey."

"Why not?" I pouted.

"Fine." He groaned and I grinned before he turned a stern glare on Lilly. "But only you." He said pointedly and Lilly rolled her eyes. "And only because you're so adorable."

"Thank-you, Joey."

"You're just trying to immasculate me, aren't you?" Joe accused playfully. Lilly spit out the water she'd just taken a sip of and tried to keep from laughing. "What's up?" He asked as I patted Lilly's back lightly.

"Nothing." I told Lilly pointedly, Joe didn't know either of us was awake this morning and he hopefully never would.

"I'll never get girls." Joe shook his head. "'Specially the beautiul ones."

"For someone who claims to be immasculated you sure do sweet talk." Lilly commented dryly.

"It's easy when the person I'm talking to is so sweet." Joe grinned.

"Could you be any more cliché?" Lilly scoffed, "I mean, how many other pick-up lines do you have?"

"If beauty were time, you'd be Eternity." Joe said and Lilly rolled her eyes.

"Can I have driections." I spoke up.

"To where?" Lilly played along.

"To your heart." We both said at the same time, that as one we'd both had used on us.

"Do you have a banaid? I just scraped my knee falling for you." Lilly put in her own one.

"You're so beautiful you made me forget my pick-up line." Joe added and I rolled my eyes, that was a pretty cheesey one.

"If being sexy was a crime you'd be guilty as charged." I wrinkled my nose and Lilly laughed, but Joe just stared at me for a second.

"Dandruff Danny last year; you look cold, wanna use me as a blanket?" Lilly said, I think it had turned into a competition of who had the worst pick-up.

"Dandruff Danny?" I asked in disbelief. That boy is scared to talk to his own reflection.

"At the beach party, I think he was drunk." She explained and I nodded, half the class was drunk at that party.

"Are you from Tennessee? 'Cause you're the only ten I see." I shuddered, I'd had that one several times.

"Baby if you were words on a page, you'd be what they call fine print." Joe smirked and I giggled. "I have a ton of these." He warned playfully

"Have you ever acually used any of them?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "Because if you have my respect for you went down faster than the plane."

"Not seriously, just as, like, a joke." Joe shrugged before he leaned in close to my ear. "But, with you, I'd mean every one." He whispered and I flushed hotly.

Wow! You guys really seem to be liking this story :D I hope I live up to the expectations.

1) Favourite part of the chapter?
2) Worst pick-up line you know?
3) Should they be rescued soon or stay on the island for an undetermind amount of time?
4) Finally got to see Miley's 1st episode of Two And A Half Men :D Loved it!

To 'Guest' on your question about the architect named Ted. Answer: It could be, when I was writing it I wanted there to be an architect or something like that and I panicked on a name and I was watching How I Met Your Mother at the time so I used Ted. It could very well be the same Ted, I might ellaborate later, but as of now he's just a minor character.

Please review?

Smiler For Joe!
