this is inspired by a post i saw that posted this look and said theyâd like to sit on his lap
jaafar jackson x reader
you were sitting in your best friendâs trailer doing some work on your laptop. since a lot of your job allows you to work from home, youâre able to join him in the adventure of his first movie. you usually stay to the side and let him do his thing though. sometimes you even forget youâre there because of your work. which is what happened today.
while you were answering an email you heard the door open and it brought you back to reality. you turned around to see jaafar in his michael costume.
âhow was the scene?â
âit went well i didnât have too many linesâŚâ he clears his throat realizing heâs still talking like michael and you laugh, âa lot more to go though for todayâ
âi like this get upâ you look at his hair parted to the side paired with a yellow long sleeve and a jacket. you get up from your chair to walk over to him âyou should really dress like this moreâ
you curl your finger into one of his hair strands âmaybe grow your hair out too i donât knowâ you tease him
âyou just want me to stay as michael donât youâ
âno michael, i like jaafar just the way he isâ
he laughed and shoved past you to sit on the couch.
âhowâs workâ
you shrug, âthereâs no dancing involved so, but i think a promotion is coming soonâ you sit next to him
he smiles, genuinely proud of you. he raises his hand to give you a high five. you meet his hand in the air but instead of letting go you two sit silently, hands still in each others.
see the thing about you two was that you both never pushed the envelope. at least not to you or jaafar. little moments here and there were so normal that it was almost as if you guys were okay with flirting every once in a while as long as you removed it from your memory the next day. youâve known jaafar since childhood. both of your families thought one day youâd end up together, but you guys were such amazing friends that the relationship was hard to see through the eyes of romance. you spoke to each other about everything, he knows all about the guys youâve dated and vise verse.
last month during a break in filming you and jaafar went out late to get ice cream. with the music playing low, the beautiful view, and a bit of a sugar high, one thing led to another and you ended up kissing each other in the car, pulling back almost instantly. it was the most you two had ever done. after it happened you drove home silently and the next morning you both pretended it never happened.
now here you are sitting next to jaafar, hand still in his.

âyeaâ
âthanks for supporting me throughout all of thisâ
you turn to face him
âof course. thereâs free food hereâ
he laughed under his breath at your joke and then tugs your hand towards him. at first you thought he was doing what he does sometimes, trying to get you to play in his hair to calm him down. but he instead gently pulls your arm trying to bring you closer to him.
you slowly realize whatâs happening, he was guiding you onto his lap. you giggle nervously, not really sure where this was going. you climb on top of him and he places his hands on your waist to steady you.
youâve sat on his lap before of course, but this felt different. it was purely innocent and only if there werenât enough seats available, but youâre looking at the empty section of the couch right now and thereâs more than enough space. as butterflies flew around your stomach, jaafar whispers, âsorry you just comfort meâ
he sighs, closing his eyes. âiâm exhaustedâ
âiâm sure you areâ you say bringing your hand to the back of his neck, you move your hand up and play with his hair and he responds with a deep breath. he squeezes your waist and you lean closer towards him.
his eyes open and he just looks at you.
âshould we do something weâll forget by tonightâ he said
you pause for a second, then decide.
he smiles watching you lean down to peck his neck. he leans his neck to the side as you pepper kisses and gradually make your way to the other side. his hands slide higher up your waist and he maneuvers your body away from him, just to have access to your neck. he kisses it a bunch of times before his lips move to yours. he slowly kisses your lips and this time neither of you pull away.
he pulls you in closer.
when itâs time for you two to pull back for air he brings his hand to your chin and guides you back to him
âmy y/nâ he mumbles
as the minutes go by you melt into jaafarâs lips, then your phone rings.
you pull away and he gazes at you as you reach for your phone on the couch without leaving his lap.
âitâs a work call sorryâ you play with the hem of his shirt
he watches you make the call, admiring Godâs work on your face. is reality starting to set in? possibly. but he doesnât care. he kisses your jawline lightly, distracting you from your call.
âcan i call you back in a bit?â you ask your coworker.
before you can even hang up jaafar pulls you back
you chuckle and make sure the phones off before going back to his lips, âi thing itâs going to be hard to forget this oneâ you mutter.
5 hours later
the last scene of the day is finished. youâre placing your laptop inside your bag, waiting for the hair and makeup team to turn him back into jaafar. when heâs ready he comes to the trailer to get you. âready?
you nod.
he rambles to you about some video game that just came out, as if what happened earlier was nothing but a dream. but you both know.
