-Joey's Pov-

I had finally finished my shift,my intire body ached from the night before and I felt oddly frail. I took a deep breath before walking into my room,
"Hey babe~what brings you here~?",I force a grin.
"Joey baby~I gotta talk to you about your proformence..~", he explained making my heart drop.
"Mm I-I see~what was wrong with it~?",I ask keeping my composure despite wanting to break down into tears right their and then.
"You didn't wear the outfit I wanted you to....",he explained. I felt the colour drain from my face as he stood up and forcefully grabbed my cheeks so I looked him in the eyes. "Why didn't you do it...",he grumbled in a low voice making tears start glazing my eyes,
"I-I wasn't very c-comfortable w-wearing it...",I explain in a small voice. "It was very revealing and itchy....", I mutter making him scowl in anger,
"And? Do you want to make money or not?! I dont care what your comfortable wearing its for the audience remember!",he tightened his grip making tears drip down my face. "You dare cry in front of me..? Pathetic. I expected more from you Joey.",he slapped me and threw me to the floor, I couldn't help but cry as he beat and kicked me in a fit of anger. "Worthless...how about you go crying to that Scottish eggplant you like so much? He won't help you...", he said as I staggered up and walked to the mirror,applying makeup over my wounds.
"I-I'll see y-you a-at home....",I stammer holding back a panic attack.
"Yeah yeah just get the fuck out my face faggot for god sake.", he groans in frustration making me instantly leave.

-Xornoth's Pov-

I was just sat on the sofa watching a movie with Scott when I heard my phone go off. I checked it to see Joey's name on the notification,beaming as i instantly opened the notification.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DMs:

Joey:

Hey I'm coming over right now I hope you don't mind. I know it's on such a short notice but it's really important...

Xornoth:

Of course its fine! Can you tell me what's so important though?

Joey:

It's just me and my boyfriend got into an argument and I don't feel safe going home to him so I just wondered if I could stay over

Xornoth:

Of course! Are you okay?! He didn't hurt you or anything did he?

Joey:

No he didn't...we just argued that's all..but I still don't feel safe going home to him so I'd appreciate it if I was able to stay the night.

Xornoth:

Of course you can Joey. Tell me when you get here <3

Joey:

I'm here right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I heard a knock at the door and Scott paused the movie to get it,
"Dont worry lil bro I'll get it! You can unpause the movie if you want I'll only be a minute.",I smile warmly as I rush past him and to the door. I opened the door and was instantly greeted by a Joey with ruined mascara. "Joey! Are you okay..?",I ask softly. He doesn't respond and just hugs me,sobbing into my chest. I hug him back,comforting him as I lead him inside. I saw Scott watch from the kitchen doorway as I tried to calm Joey down. "Shh it's okay....he can't hurt you...",I mutter as I pulled him into another hug. Joey just tightened his grip around me,slowly calming down as the tension in his body slowly died down. "Are you okay now..?",I ask softly in order not to trigger him
"Y-Yeah....thank you,Xornoth...",he mutters quitley,letting go of me and taking a step back.
"Your more then welcome Joey...my room is just at the end of the hall,you go chill out in their for a bit and I'll check on you in a few minutes whilst you calm down okay?",I smile warmly and he nods,scampering away and down the hall.

~~half an hour later~~

I walk out the living room leaving a passed out Scott on the sofa as I creep into my room.

"Joey? Are you okay?",I ask calmly as I walk over to Joey; He was lied on his side scrolling through his phone whilst snuggled into at least 4 blankets.
"Yeah I'm alright....thank you for letting me stay bae it means a lot..",he smiled warmly,the feeling of my face heating up and my stomach hatching butterfly's making me flustered.
"Y-Your welcome",I say shyly whilst giving him a small smile. He sat up and hugged me making me blush even more, I wasn't used to Joey being like this. He was usually flirty and confident and upbeat! But now he just seems broken and soft....it was oddly comforting to see him like this. It felt like he was finally at peace. Like he was actually happy with himself...

-Joey's Pov-

I smile warmly as I burrow my face into Xornoth's stomach,wrapping my arms around him and giggling. I look up at him,noticing how red he is and laughing even more,
"W-What?!",Xornoth asks looking away from me.
"Your so red and adorable",I snicker.

To be honest I wasn't too awake but the 'adorable' part was no lie. He's always adorable,I wish I was with him and not that prick I call a boyfriend. Call me love sick but I'm deeply in love with this man. He's so kind and caring and-I'm ranting again.
"I-",His blush intensified as he wrapped his arms around me,hugging me back.
"Awh your flustered~",I giggle,kissing Xornoth's cheek without thinking. He finally looked at me,his eyes widened and his whole face a dark red. I myself was blushing intensely,the realisation of my actions sinking in. "I-I'm so sorry I d-didn't mean too-!",I apologise,letting go of him.
"I-I-I-",Xornoth just stared at me,eyes wide open and jaw dropped. He pulled me back into a hug,burrowing his face in my neck. I blushed even more at the feeling of his hot breath hitting my cold skin. I just hugged him back not fully computing what was happening. He climbed on top of me and lied on my chest,snuggling into me as he fell asleep. I fell asleep shortly after,the comforting feelings of love and safety following me into my dreams as I slept comfortably in bed.
