sorrows of tomorrow {closed}

Matt looked at her and smiled, "I hope it's great." He offered his arm, "Ma'lady." He grinned at her.

***

Vanessa stepped back leaning into Brian's embrace, "I am glad you both are safe, and here now." She smiled.

Jazmine smiled and took the arm that he offered. "I'm sure it will be. You know how to cook better than me," she said as she walked with him to the table.

***

Brian nodded. "It's good to be here," he said. Zacky nodded in agreement. Brian rubbed her shoulder as she leaned him to him.

Matt chuckled, "Remember that time you made toast. Almost burnt down my house." Matt grinned kissing the side of her head. He pulled her chair out for her and smiled scooting her up as he poured her some wine and sat down in front of her pouring himself some.

Sitting in the living room, on the sofa with Brian beside of her and Zacky in the armchair. The three of them watched their favorite horror movie together. Taking a bite of her pizza they'd ordered she took and jumped when the killer came out of nowhere.

Jazmine laughed. “Yeah, and I still feel bad,” she said. She smiled at him. “But I did warn you beforehand.” She grabbed the glass of wine. She had always loved wine, but she never drank it much. “You know I’m very glad you are back,” she commented lightly.

***

Brian glanced at her when she jumped. He wrapped his arm around her. He could feel her heart beating in his chest. He was glad that he was back doing normal things with her. This was a normal night with her. Movie marathons with nothing but horror.

Matt smiled, "So am I baby." Matt smiled at her. "If I hadn't came back you'd probably starved." He winked joking with her as he looked at her. "But in all seriousness, I am truly glad to be back with you." He smiled.

---

Looking at Brian, Vanessa smiled softly kissing his lips. Taking and leaning against Brian she focused on the movie. This was nice. Just getting to have her brother and boyfriend with her. And enjoying their normal routine.

Jazmine laughed a little. “Hey, I can use the microwave, and then there is takeout,” she joked. “But you’re food is better than those, so yeah I’m not starving with you here.” She smiled at him and took a sip of her wine. “And so am I, but I have said that. I just want you here,” she said as she began to eat that he had made for her.

***

Brian smiled enjoying the feel of her pressed against him. He looked over to Zacky who seemed to be genuinely happy to have his sister back. Though they have changed, she hadn’t really. She had welcomed him back, and they were going back to what was their normal routine.

Smiling at her, Matt thought it over. Before all this, he'd planned on asking her. Matt looked at her, "Jaz." He said softly. "Would you consider moving in with me?" Matt questioned her.

---

Vanessa took and kept close to Brian's side as she looked to where Zacky was supposed to be. Feeling someone grab her feet, she screamed looking down at her brother. "You moron!" Vanessa screamed dumping popcorn on his face as he laughed and she shook her head. "You're a dork." She smiled.

Jazmine looked up at her and felt her heart warm. She had been wanting to live with him, but he had never asked. She jumped out of her seat and wrapped her arms around his neck. “Yes, I would love to,” she said excitedly.

***

Brian couldn’t hide his laugh when Vanessa jumped. He hadn’t been surprised that her brother did that to her. “Hey, be nice,” he joked. He chuckled a little.

Smiling ear to ear, Matt looked at her. "I am glad to hear that." Matt told her smiling. "How about we start this weekend? Moving you in." Matt told her.

---

"He doesn't know how to be nice." Vanessa laughed.

"You got me there. I just live to tourment my baby sister though." Zacky laughed.

Jazmine smiled. “Yeah, that sounds good to me,” she said. She looked at him, so glad that he wants her to live with him. She held onto him thinking that she was dreaming for a second.

***

Brian chuckled. “Yeah, but I don’t want my girl terrified,” he joked lightly looking at Zacky. “Even though that was a little funny.”

Matt smiled holding to her. He kissed the side of her head, "Sounds like a plan." Matt told her softly.

***

"Bri!" Vanessa exclaimed smacking his chest lightly. "Of course you side with the doof. You're best friends." Vanessa shook her head.

Jazmine smiled at him. She pressed her lips against his. She held onto him tightly.

***

Brian shrugged his shoulders. Then he pulled in close to his side. “It’s not like you haven’t done the same to the two of us,” she said.

Matt held to her smiling brightly as he kissed her lightly keeping her close to him.

---

Vanessa looked at him with warning eyes.

Jazmine leaned back a little to look at him. She couldn't help the smile on her face.

***

Brian looked at her and smiled. "What? Don't make me remind of all the times you scared me," he said, raising his hands up in his defense.

Keeping her close, Matt enjoyed this. "I love this. Just being with you." Matt whispered to her.

---

"So. You're a dude. I am the damsel in distress, Mr. Haner." She grinned.

Jazmine smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "So do I," she replied, leaning in and brushing her lips against his.

***

Brian rolled his eyes at her comments. "Oh, well, I must protect you then," he said a little dramatically. He reached out and pulled her into his side.

Matt smiled holding her close to him.

***

Vanessa smacked his side laughing. "Oh shut up." She told him getting up and clearing their mess up as she cleaned it up a little.

Jazmine settled against him. She glanced up at him. She felt completely safe with him. She had a thought about the time he was gone, and she shook those thoughts out of her head.

***

Brian laughed as he got up to help her clean. He couldn't help how much he was enjoying being around her again.

"You ok babe?" Matt questioned knowing her all too well. Holding her close he loved being back like this with her again.

---

Finishing up, she heard her brother say he was heading home. Hugging him she watched him leave. Slipping her arms around Brian's neck she smiled. "I am so glad you're back." She whispered.

Jazmine nodded. “I’m just so happy that I’m afraid that it’s just a dream,” she admitted. She knew that she couldn’t hide anything from him.

***

Brian smiled at her as he wrapped his arms around her. “I’m glad to be back,” he replied. He was glad that he had her to himself now that her brother was heading home.
