If I Had You
Title: If I Had You (one-shot)
Author: Laura, ak umbrellabeach55
Rating: PG
Pairing: Jack Barakat/Alex Gaskarth
Summary: "I don't want you to be lonely," I murmur. You continue to kiss my shoulder, quietly answering me in-between. "As long as I'm with you, I won't be."
Disclaimer: I don't own anybody, no matter how much I wish I did. Just kidding because that's slavery and that's weird. Um. Lyrics in the fic, cut, and title credit go to ATL, A Daydream Away.
Author's Note: So this sorta kinda maybe is the sequel to a previous fic I've written, which is called 'I Accept Defeat'. If anything, it's really just the more poetic side of the fic, without all the sex and everything. I hope you guys enjoy it.
my tumblr. follow me, bro.
I wish you could see your face right now.
I watch you next to me, laughing at my silliness, without a care in the world.
‘Cause you’re grinning like a fool.
I love your smile, oh so much. There’s something so Alex-y about it that just puts me at ease whenever I see it. It’s my reassurance that nothing can ever go wrong in the world, and if something does, all I need to do is make you laugh and the universe will balance itself once again.
We’re sitting on your kitchen floor, on a Tuesday afternoon.
The remnants of our afternoon adventures lay around us, whipped cream and flour and the essence of you mixing together on the cool tile. You lay naked next to me, with barely an inch of space between our bodies. I can feel the warmth radiating from you, my little space heater. I’ve stayed warm ever since you’ve joined me in my bed at night.
It doesn’t matter when we get back to doing what we do.
“Jack, shouldn’t we be finishing this cake and bringing it to my sister’s house?” you ask me.
“No,” I answer softly. “Let’s just stay here. Stay here with me.”
You smile, and snuggle even closer to me, draping your arm lazily over my bare chest. My nerve endings tingle when you start to trace circles on my ribs.
“Cause right now could last forever, just as long as I’m with you.
“Alex,” I say. You hum to let me know you’re listening.
“I don’t ever want to leave your side.”
You kiss my shoulder. “I would be so lonely.”
“I don’t want you to be lonely,” I murmur. You continue to kiss my shoulder, quietly answering me in-between.
“As long as I’m with you, I won’t be.”
Hearing you say these words is what fuels me to speak again.
“Then will you move in with me?”
You look up at me, surprise in your wide eyes. I gaze back at you sheepishly, watching as your brain processes my request. When I see you finally smile, after what seems like half an hour of agony, my heartbeat skyrockets.
“Yes, I will.”
And then I’m kissing you, and you’re filling my senses once again, along with an indescribable joy. And I know I’ll never need anything else in the world, as long as I have you.
I wouldn’t know what to say if I had you.
I pull back for a moment, but I’m speechless. I can’t possibly put into words for you how I’m feeling right now, but you seem to know anyways. You smile at me, just barely, and then lay your head back down on my chest. I begin to stroke your hair, and you hum in contentment, and I wonder just how much of a miracle it was that the universe, or whoever you’d like to say, brought you here to me.
