Always -Josh Dun x Reader

Chapter 9

Come on come on, I just need something...

"I was just getting ready" I say.

Good enough

"But your clothes are out here? Y/n, are you sure you are alright?" He asks, his voice sounding even more worried.
I fumble over to the door and unlock it. As soon as I open it I immediately see Josh standing in front of me.

His concerned filled eyes scan my body, looking for any sign that I'm hurt. I grab my other arm loosely, feeling slightly nervous for some reason. His deep brown eyes finally land on my face, and I flash a small smile. His concerned look softens slightly, and I speak up.

"I was just about to ask if you could grab them, I forgot that I left them under the couch last night. I would really appreciate it" I ask him, and he nods and walks off to find my clothes.

As he gets further away I release a long, shaky breath that I didn't realise I was holding.

Why am I so anxious today?
I'm too dramatic.
So many people have such horrible lives compared to mine.
I'm such an idiot,
I need to stop being so dramatic.

I am ripped out of my thoughts as Josh walks back over with my clothes in hand. He smiles and hands them to me.

"Thank you" I say as I take them into my own.

"No problem, but today we should really get you some new clothes." he suggests.

"What? No! I can't let you do that, you barely even know me!" I laugh.

"No really, I want to." He says, still smiling.

"Seriously you don't have to!" I argue

"But, I want to" He smirks

"Nup, not going to let you" I say while squinting my eyes.

"Well you can't just wear dirty clothes for the next week." He retorts.

"Um well... fine! But don't blame me when you regret buying new clothes for me!" I point at him as I walk into the bathroom. I shut the door behind me and lock it again.

Locking doors behind has become a habit of mine, it especially comes in handy when you don't want a drunk mom in your room.

"I won't regret it!" I hear Josh say behind the door.

I smile to myself and start to get changed, but my face distorts as I grasp a whiff of my dirty clothing.

I must've sweated a whole lot yesterday at the concert.
Oh god what am I going to do? I don't want to stink around Josh! He probably has deodorant right? He would understand if i ask to use it.... right?

I unlock the door and poke my head out.

"Um hey, Josh?" I awkwardly call out.

"Yes?" Josh calls back, not moving from his spot. He probably only just sat down.

"Sorry, would you mind coming over here so we don't have to call out to each other?" I laugh.

"O-oh sorry" He awkwardly calls back.

I hear him grunt as he pushes up off of the couch, walking over to me with heavy footsteps. He quickly reaches me, but puts his hands over his eyes for incase I am not dressed.

"It's okay Josh, I'm decent" I awkwardly laugh at his thoughtfulness.

"O-okay good" He stutters while removing his hands from his eyes. As he looks at me he flashes a signature Josh Dun smile.

"So what'd you want to ask?" He says, still smiling.

"Oh, o-oh um, well. I was going to ask, since you know, concerts can get pretty hot, and heat leads to sweat, and sweating leads to stinky clothes and um... Well I just was going to ask if... if I could use your deodorant, maybe?" I awkwardly smile while shrugging my shoulders at the last part. I mentally face palm myself.

I was surprised by the amused grin on his face. I thought he'd be confused or maybe even weirded out.

"W-what?" I ask, confused by his expression.

"Oh, n-n-nothing. And of c-course you can use mine, it's just in the t-t-top drawer of the s-sink" He says while holding back laughter.

"What's so funny?" I furrow my brows.

"You" He giggles

"Hey, it's not very nice to laugh at someone" I say as I fake being upset, and I playfully push on his shoulder.
"Especially someone you just met!"

"I'm sorry, I p-promise I w-won't do it again" he says still trying to hold back laughter.

"Good" I say while turning around back into the bathroom.

As I turn around to close the door I get a glance of him smiling, a slight blush tracing his cheeks.

Wait, he can't be blushing because of me right? His face probably just went red from holding back all of those laughs.

I eventually entangle myself in my thoughts as I finish off getting ready for the day.

Okay guys, I decided to cut that chapter there so I can actually get a chapter out for you guys. I know it wasn't very eventful or anything, pretty much just a filler.
But I feel like my writing is really boring? Maybe some of you guys could give me tips on making it better? I would really appreciate it!
