I get by with a little help from my friends

It was a silent night in the Gaskarth's house, you could only hear the clattering of the cutlery while they dined. That was until, on the couch watching movies, he said something seemingly wrong and she blew off - like many times before - screaming that she was going to stay at her parents' house for the night. And that was it, he went upstairs, undressed himself, hid under the blankets and cried, because he didn't mean to hurt her. His mind wandered to all the times they argued in the past, but this time her reaction was ten times worse. Hours passed by and, even though he kept repeating to himself that he was a grown up man that shouldn't cry like this, he did the only thing he knew he could.
"Alexander, why on Earth did you wake me at three in the fucking morning?" Jack growled.
"I-I'm sorry..." The other sobbed out.
"Alex? What's wrong? Wait, I'm on my way."
And, ten or so minutes later, Jack opened the door - that Alex hadn't had the strenght to close before going to bed - and skipped in the older boy's room. As soon as his foot made his appearance by the door he found a sobbing mess into his arms, wetting his shirt.
"Hey, hey. Calm down. I'm here, everything's okay now. Stop crying." Jack whispered.
"She left me, Jack. This time for real." Alex said and sobbed even more.
"What? Lisa? You know she loves you, dude, she was probably just mad." He tried to reassure the broken boy.
"No, this time is for real. And I don't know what I'll do without her, Jack." His voice came out muffled by the shirt but the dark haired man understood anyway, after all that times as teenagers when they were in the same situation.
"Alex look at me. I don't think so. Now, let's go to bed, huh? We can cuddle if you want." He asked tentatively.
"Yeah..." He sniffled.
Jack spent the night stroking Alex's hair and planting soft kisses here and there while the aforementioned boy clung onto him and tried to sleep, he even tried to sing a song - even though he was not the singer in the room - but his broken friend wouldn't sleep.
"Hey, Jacky?" Alex's voice came out, low and hoarse, around six in the morning.
"Yeah?" The other sleepily replied.
"Uhm, can we... can we spoon, please?" He asked in a small voice.
Jack didn't need to be told twice so, with a huge grin, he turned so that his face was buried in Alex's hair and his arm was on his waist, that the smaller of the two soon covered with his own and interwined their fingers.
"Jay?" He whispered, and the other replied with a 'hmph'.
"Thank you".
It's been a while since the two friends - bestfriends - did something so intimate; sure, when they were younger showing affection was normal but, as they grew up, they found themselves replacing the acts towards each other with words, the small kisses on each other's cheeks with smiles, and Jack kind of missed it. Obviously he knew that two 26 years old guys cuddling wasn't that normal, adding the fame they had because of the band made it all worse. Alex had his own life now, with his girlfriend, and he did too - minus the girlfriend part but hey, he's still young - so the habits they had changed with them, but when he got to be so close to his bestfriend again he was so happy. And Alex was happy too. He sometimes felt guilty because he passed the most of his time with Lisa and he haven't had some quality bro time with Jack in a while, and man how did he miss the nights with the taller boy when they weren't touring.
Even though that night started with tears and sobs Alex fell asleep with a smile on his face, all thanks to Jack.
The morning - well, afternoon - after, when the boys woke up, Alex turned around and hugged Jack tightly. The poor guy, waking up because he was suffocating, jolted out of his friend's death grip before realizing that everything was fine and coming back to his "cuddle mode".
"Hey, how're you feeling?" He asked groggily.
"M'fine. Thanks Jacky." The other replied before they heard the door open.
"Alex? Alex I'm sorry, I didn't mean all the things I said." Lisa's voice came for downstairs and, with a quick nod from Jack, Alex sprinted out of the room and went straight to hug his girlfriend. He then came back in his room and asked Jack if he wanted to stay a little bit more, to which he agreed happily. That afternoon went great and, when it was time to say goodbye, the two friends hugged tightly.
"Thank you again, Jacky." Alex mumbled in his shoulder.
"You don't have to thank me, that's what bestfriends are for. Anyway we should do it again sometimes. Sure, maybe without all the tears." They finally let go af each other and laughed quietly.
"Yeah, sure. Bye Jack." He waved his hand.
"Bye Lex." The dark haired boy smiled, shouting a "bye Lisa" over his shoulder.
"You two are so cute together, no wonder why all the fangirls ship you." Lisa said walking up to her boyfriend.
"Yeah." He replied, mind elsewhere thinking about how a great friend Jack is and how he's lucky to have him in his life.
