Davey hated travel, he always felt sick and he hated having to get on a plane at 4:30 in the morning and then forced back into a bus. Davey couldn’t even get any sleep on the plane because planes make him feel sick so he had to sit on a stuffy plane stuck in between his band mates and random strangers, Davey was exhausted by the time they got off the plane. Even worse Jade hat slept the entire time so not only did Davey have no one to annoy the whole time but now Jade was right as rain and Davey felt like his body was going to give out on him. When Davey got on the bus he thought he would fall face first on the floor, Jade basically had to carry him to the seats on the tourbus. Before Davey even had a chance to force himself to stay awake he fell right onto Jade’s lap and fell into a peaceful sleep on Jade’s lap.
Jade was planning on pushing Davey off he really was, Jade didn’t like Davey like that but Davey had stayed awake for so long and Jade wasn’t that much of an asshole. However Jade immediately got bored, due to the fact Davey was on his lap he couldn’t use his laptop, and he didn’t want to talk loudly in case he’d wake Davey up. After a couple minutes of boredom Jade decided he’d learn how to braid hair. Usually Jade was a quickly learner but he’d never braided hair and he quickly realised how difficult it was, he thought it was just twisting a bunch of hair but it took him forever to find out how to do it and he didn’t even have any hair ties on him. He thought about asking someone if they had any but he really doubted they would so decided to just do without them. After a good hour on the bus Jade had finnaly figured out the art of hair braiding and he thought he’d done a pretty good job on the first braid, and Davey was so passed out he didn’t even have to worry about him waking up while he was doing it!
At first Jade found it extremely tedious and assumed he had to do it in a specific direction but after the first 6 braids he just started doing whatever and by the time he was done he was basically a professional and they had nearly reached their stop anyways. Davey was still completely asleep and showed no sign of waking up on his own accord, Jade thought he looked really pretty when he was all exhausted and passed out like this. Jade leaned down and kissed his cheek, not in a weird way, in a friend way. And no one was looking so it didn’t really matter, he was just being nice.
“Yo dude we’re at the stop you’ve gotta wake up sleeping beauty” Adam told Jade as the bus came to a stop and everyone started to climb out “why’s his hair all braided?” He continued with a confused look on his face. “I braided his hair while he slept, I was bored” Jade told him matter of factly, not considering the connotations of braiding another mans hair while he slept on Jade. “Okay dude just wake him up” Adam laughed stretching out the o in okay while walking off the bus. Jade started by saying Davey’s name and taping his shoulder but Davey would not wake up, he then resorted to shouting and hitting before realising he was going to have to carry Davey to their hotel room. By the time Jade had dragged Davey into their hotel room he could honestly say he was just as exhausted, Jade was sure he could’ve slept on the floor.
Davey woke up bright and early at 6 am, far earlier than Jade could ever wake up. But Jade did wake up he awoke to Davey shaking him sounding distressed, “what’s wrong?” Jade asked half asleep not bothering to open his eyes. “Did you braid my hair while I was asleep?“ Davey Asked, Jade just nodded and pulled Davey into Jade’s bed to catch up on the sleep Davey was taking from him. Davey decided to just let Jade drag him into a hug even if he wasn’t tired, maybe he’d let Jade braid his hair more often.
