warnings: mentions of alcohol
you met jj maybank in a bar, during one of your summer gigs. your music wasn’t well known but you managed to make some money by singing in bars on the mainland, even though you were from the cut.
jj was never on the mainland, it had been a rare occasion because his friends were on summer vacations with their families and for the first time in years john b wasn’t with him. he was left alone, so he decided to leave the cut for one night and hang out at the only bar on the mainland where the prices seemed affordable. he had no idea that the girl he was going to fall in love with was singing in that same bar.
it almost looked like a scene from a movie when he looked at you, his eyes stuck on you and your beauty, and his ears blessed from your voice, he had never heard such an angelic sound.
he had decided that he had to get to know you so, as soon as he saw you were alone, he approached you, his charm was on and so was his usual flirtatious behavior.
“hey.” he had said, sitting next to you, your eyes looking at him up and down while your hand was around a cold beer.
“hi,” you gave him a big smile, which made him lose his confident front for a couple of seconds, “i’m sorry, do i know you?”
he had sat next to you so nonchalantly that you believed that you didn’t recognize someone you already knew, in fact he did have a familiar face, which later on you would’ve realized that it was because you were both from the cut.
“not that i recall. i’m jj.” he extended his hand, which you shook with yours, introducing yourself as well.
that’s how you spent your night: drinking beer with a complete stranger who had become your greatest confidant throughout the evening. he took you to your hotel room, since you were tipsy and didn’t trust yourself to drive. you asked him for his number, even though he believed that you would’ve forgot about him the morning after.
you found yourself texting the boy everyday and going on dates during your summer break, finding out that the both of you didn’t have a family to go on vacation with, becoming each other’s special someone.
you had spent your days together, going on adventures, talking and starting to get more comfortable around each other. the more time you spent with jj, the more you realized how fast you were falling for the boy.
it was when you were cuddling in his room at his friend’s house, john b, that you were hit by sudden panic about your relationship.
his arms were around your body, hugging you tight to his chest, his left hand in your hair, running his fingers and making you feel so relaxed in his embrace; everything felt like a dream, and you could barely believe that you were so deep in a relationship for the first time in your life.
“i want you to meet my friends.” he said, his lips ghosting the side of your head. it was like meeting someone’s parents because you knew how important his friends were to him, how close they all were and you didn’t want to screw it up.
you hadn’t told anyone about the two of you yet, wanting to keep that honeymoon phase a sweet secret just between you two, but jj wanted to show you off, he wanted to tell the whole world how beautiful and talented his girlfriend was.
“are you sure?” you asked, panic obvious in your voice.
“yeah, i bet they’ll love you.”
which was something you weren’t so sure about. he had talked to you about them a lot, and they all seemed like very nice people but also very protective so what if they decided that you weren’t good enough for jj? or that maybe he needed someone that didn’t spend so much time on the mainland?
you would’ve never let him choose between you and his friends but you also didn’t want to break up with him. yes, you were panicking and imagining the worst, however you were right about them being very protective and you wouldn’t blame them.
jj was right too, though. they all fell in love with you, your charisma and pogue-like lifestyle made them want you to be a part of their group, which made your heart feel so warm.
neither you or jj had told the pogues that you were a singer, not because you didn’t want to but you simply didn’t have a chance to tell them.
one night you and jj were cuddled up in front of a warm fire on the beach, his chin on your shoulder as his arms were hugging your torso from behind.
“you’re really beautiful, you know?” he whispers in your ear, making you blush at the compliment and lean into his touch. “your last gig is next week right? i wanna come hear you.”
“yeah, you know you’re welcome anytime, j.”
he hadn’t heard you live-singing since the pogues came back from their vacations, so he couldn’t wait to listen to your beautiful voice again. little did you know he would’ve showed up with the whole gang, all of them surprised to see you on a stage.
you had decided to sing cruel summer by taylor swift, a song that you and jj had claimed as yours, so when the first notes started playing, you immediately recognized the smile on his face.
kie and sarah were shocked, especially because they were the ones that had become really good friends with you, therefore hearing you sing with the voice of an angel for the first time had left them in awe.
meanwhile, john b and pope noticed the look on their bestfriend when he heard you sing, so in love with you, it almost annoyed them how much he was into you.
almost. after all, they adored you and how happy you made their bestfriend.
“i'm drunk in the back of the car and I cried like a baby coming home from the bar. said I'm fine, but it wasn't true. i don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you. and I snuck in through the garden gate, every night that summer just to seal my fate and I screamed for whatever it's worth ‘I love you,’ ain't that the worst thing you ever heard?”
oh they all knew that the song was about him the moment they heard this part and how big the smile one jj’s face was.
“oooh, someone’s really in love huh?” kie said to him, his eyes rolling but a smile was still illuminating his face.
“jj maybank, the biggest simp ever, ladies and gentlemen.” he hears john b said but their teasing and jokes were already far away because you were getting close to him and he was waiting with his arms open.
you jumped into his embrace, giggling and blushing at his whispered compliments, like he always did when you finished a gig.
“y/n, that was amazing! we had no idea that you had such an amazing voice.” sarah exclaimed, your cheeks burning hot with embarrassment.
“thank you.” you almost murmured, too flustered to raise your voice. they were all giving you so many compliments you felt like your cheeks were going on fire.
“by the way, jj was simping over you so much during the song. he’s officially gone.” pope said to you when your boyfriend wasn’t listening and at that point you couldn’t stop smiling.
“cmon, give my girlfriend some space. you’re crowding her!” jj’s comment made everyone laugh or roll their eyes at his antics but you just leaned into his arm that was around your shoulder, feeling comforted by the loving environment they had created in that moment.
your boyfriend kissed your forehead and you knew you wouldn’t have traded that moment for anything else in the whole world.
