too young to feel this old, joe/nick, pg-13

I literally only had about 500 words of this written, just kind of vaguely scribbled down, and then, y'know, you guys were all GET OVER YOURSELF AND WRITE SOME JOE/NICK like I told you to be, and then I wrote like 6000 words in this one night. And, okay, it's 3am now, but I really just had to finish this because it's been a LONG TIME COMING.

Title: too young to feel this old
Author: likecharity
Pairing: Joe/Nick
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Real person slash, incest
Summary: Some days, Nick Jonas feels like a slow burn, a bomb waiting to go off.
A/N: This is for all you amazing people who've been waiting for longer than you should've been. ♥ Especially thisissirius for her amazing patience and general awesomeness, and thepodsquad for being a fountain of knowledge and for introducing me to the Jonas Brothers/Kings of Leon parallels. Title from 'Cold Desert' by the aforementioned band. XD

( When they first hear Kings of Leon's 'Sex on Fire', they're in the tour bus and it comes on the radio, playing softly amongst the noise and chatter. )

at least be confused about right and wrong

HI. FIRST OF ALL, I wrote that fic last night, right, posted it at 3am and then went straight to sleep. And I woke up this morning to over twenty incredible comments and I basically haven't stopped smiling all day. You are all so wonderful, thank you. ♥ I can't even SAY how happy I am about the fact that everyone just seemed to GET everything I was trying to say.

And right...this is probably going to be a bit of a weird post? Basically I have all these songs that keep making me think of the Jonas Brothers (Joe and Nick specifically WHAT A SURPRISE) and like...I feel like my thoughts aren't organised enough about them to make a fanmix, but I still want to share them. And talk about them. I DON'T KNOW WHY, STOP JUDGING ME.

Obviously if we ignore the whole Kings of Leon thing 'cause that's probably pretty much covered by now, it all started with expastic mentioning 'Hair Down' by the Cold War Kids, which has this one bit which ALWAYS makes me think of Joe:

now our pockets are shallow
our quart running low
i saw they're empty but i'm just a fool
a woman in the kitchen told me
that true love it waits
but of all the rules he lives by
that's the one that he hates

It might actually be 'Roman' not 'woman', idk. But yes! Basically self-explanatory. And like...as much as I like to believe the Jonas Brothers are virgins and are happy with that...it just, must be difficult. And somehow I think Joe must find it the hardest.
