The Music Freaks oneshots (REQUESTS CLOSED)

Don't leave my side (Jake x Zander) (Jander) (Angst+Fluff)

A few seconds after the scratching noise on the window was gone, Zander let out a shaky breath before continuing his way to Jake's room

He got to Jake's room, and stared at the door. He didn't wanna knock on it and make a sudden noise that would jump scare Jake awake. So he just put his hand on the handle, and slowly opened it

Jake was fully asleep in bed, the light from the moon outside shining through his window and onto him

"Lucky..." Zander thought to himself "He isn't scared of the dark like me...and even if he was, he's got a good light in here to make him feel better..."

More wind blew outside, making branches hit the windows again. Zander looked down at the floor, staying in the doorway of Jake's bedroom. Jake hadn't woken up still, and Zander figured if he didn't say anything, Jake would stay that way

".......Jake.....?"

Jake opened his eyes a bit and looked over at the door, seeing Zander standing there

"Zander.....? What's wrong.....?"

Zander looked to the side, not saying anything. His eyes filled with tears

Jake sat up in bed, rubbing his head a bit as he started to wake up more

"Are you okay...?" he asked

Zander shook his head no a little bit. It only took a couple seconds for Jake to understand what was wrong

"...Zander, did you have a nightmare....?"

Zander gave a small nod in response

"Okay, come lay down..." Jake said, as he moved to one side of his bed, making room for Zander

Zander slowly walked over, then layed down in the bed beside Jake

"You wanna talk to me about it...?" Jake asked as he layed down beside Zander

"....if I do, promise you won't make fun of me...." Zander said. Jake nodded in response. "I would never..."

Zander hesitated, preparing himself for what he was about to say

"....I-I am really....REALLY scared of the dark..."

Jake just kinda stared at Zander for a bit, as Zander looked off to the side, embarrassed. Jake put his hand on Zander's cheek, making the shorter boy look up

"Zander, why didn't you tell me...? I would've let you sleep in here with me...or given you some source of light, instead of sleeping in that dark room...."

"I-I didn't want to...." Zander said "I didn't wanna seem like a baby or anything....it's a stupid fear...."

"It's not stupid..." Jake said as he hugged Zander "If anything, it's a common fear..."

There was a bit of silence between the two again. In that moment, more wind blew outside, making tree branches scrape against the window. Zander tightly squeezed Jake as he began to shake more, with his head burried in Jake's chest. Jake put his arms around Zander, trying to calm him

"It's alright, Zander...it's just noise...it'll go away..."

Zander just let out a soft whimper of fear in response. Jake patted the back of his head gently, as he began to hum softly in an attempt to calm Zander. After a few seconds though, the humming turned into soft singing

"You with the sad eyes...don't be discouraged...oh, I realize it's hard to take courage in a world full of people...you can loose sight of it all..."

Zander's grasp on Jake became less tight, as Jake sang softly, and Zander focused on that

"The darkness inside you can make you feel so small..."

Zander kept his face hidden for a few more seconds, then he looked up at Jake, who was smiling at him. There were still a few tears running down Zander's face, but he was starting to calm down more

Show me a smile, then...don't be unhappy...can't remember when I last saw you laughing...this world makes you crazy, and you've taken all you can bear...

Jake wiped Zander's tears away, making a light blush go across his face

"Just call me up, cause you know I'll always be there..."

Zander couldn't help but smile at Jake, who was still smiling back at him

"And I see your true colours shining through...I see your true colours, and that's why I love you...so don't be afraid to let them show..."

Zander yawned, his sleepiness catching back up to him. He moved close to Jake, putting his arms around him again. He rested his head on Jake's shoulder, starting to close his eyes a bit, falling asleep to the sound of Jake's voice

"Your true colors...true colors are beautiful...like a rainbow..."

Jake looked at Zander and saw he was almost, if not fully asleep. Jake smiled, then kissed Zander's head

"Love you, Zander..." he said, before falling asleep next to Zander
