Disclaimer: Not Mine.



Jared couldn’t sleep. He never could after being around his father. He always ended up with a bad case of insomnia around the holidays and now he was having it again.

He did all the things he normally did when he couldn’t sleep: he ‘relaxed’ himself, he soaked in the hot tub, he played video games; but after 3 hours, at 4 in the morning, he finally realized there was no way he was getting to sleep on his own.

He knocked quietly at Peter’s door. When he didn’t get an answer he stuck his head in and whispered his best friend’s name.

Peter opened his eyes and squinted at the light coming from the door. “Jared?”

“No, it’s Pintar.”

“Very funny. What’s wrong?”

Jared shifted awkwardly. “You know what, nothing. Never mind. Go back to sleep, I’ll see you later.”

“Jared!” Peter called before Jared could close the door.

“What?”

Peter lifted the covers. “Get your short ass over here.”

Jared smiled and practically dove on to the bed. He loved having a best friend that always knew exactly what he needed.

Once they had settled comfortably against each other Peter decided to break the short silence. “This about your dad?”

“What else?”

“You can’t let him get to you,” Peter said as he ran a hand through Jared’s hair.

Jared sighed. “I can’t help it. He’s just always been so...urg.”

“I know, I know. And I know it’s never been easy for you. I’m here, though, any time. Okay?”

Jared nodded.

“Also, next time don’t keep me up for hours wandering around before you come do something about your insomnia, okay?”

Jared grinned a little. “Fine.”

They fell into silence. After a few minutes Jared’s breathing slowed as he fell asleep. Peter drifted off not long after.

In the morning they would wake up tangled together. Neither of them would mention anything talked about the night before, but both knew that for at least a few days while the case went on Peter would be playing host to Jared in his bed. Not that he ever minded.

Aw, why does the sweetness have to end? :(
Anyway, loved it. So adorable and just, them. They play off each other so well in the series, and I feel like you captured that here. And I like that, haha. I also think that Jared is the most cute thing in the world.


“You can’t let him get to you,” Peter said as he ran a hand through Jared’s hair. - This? Right here? Melted my heart. So I think you should write more 'fic. :D

I agree with your hint. I check this comm for moar fic as often as humanly possible. Just sayin'.

Agreed, haha.

Score~! I will be waiting! :P I've started many of my own. Blockage prevents any being done, haha.

Addiction? What is this? Franklin and Bash is simply a way of life.

I love, love, love seeing Jared crawl into bed with Peter. I think I prefer their sweet, coexisting, I'm-here-for-you actions more than a fic where they kiss. I adore just the two of them being touchy-feely and drawing comfort from being close. :)

There will NEVER be enough fic where they just sleep tangled up in each other. Love this.

And yeah, days when no one posts fic here are kind of KILLING me, glad to know I'm not the only one.

so cute! of course the only cure would be Peter. :)

(sadly I have a long-ish fic planned out in my head, but I can't seem to get it on paper. rrrgh.)

I love reading stories like this. When you can tell there is love there even though they're not spelling it out. I love the adorable parts of Jared crawling in to bed with Peter like little kids having a sleepover or something =] Anyway, I hope you get more inspiration soon!
