𐔌 . ⋮ — PILE OF BONES .ᐟ ֹ ₊ ꒱
[ JARHEAD!JJ ] && fawn!reader
✪ — REQUESTED. jj's losing it. thought being at war would be the easy solution to his problem, thought finding bodies to kill would be easy on him. it is— too fucking easy, that's the problem.
✪ — cw .ᐟ cannibalism. war. fluff. religious themes. ( updated format inspired by @ptvlia )
it seemed the perfect solution. jj was close to getting caught one two many times. he could feed anywhere, knew if he got caught in your small town it would ruin everything for you. two eaters in the same town meant double the bodies, and you'd never dare leave.
no one missed the bodies he fed upon. the corpses weren't noticed. too many dead to pay mind. the bones buried, dog tags the only possession left behind. jj collected them, like some kinda fucked up trophy. a way to remember them, as long as no one ever found them tucked into his mattress.
they call it friendly fire. jj called it his life. his fellow marines were much easier targets than the enemy. less work, more trust. meant he could feed while they were still warm.
"baby, m'fuckin losing it," the blonde mumbles down the phone, the cord tight as he pulls as far away from his fellow troops as he can. "i'm eatin' damn near every day."
you were lucky if you could eat once a month.
your legs crossed beneath you, fingers twirling the cord of your own phone around your fingers. daddy finally let you have your own landline in your bedroom. white nightdress upon your body, jj's call the only reason you were awake.
"jay, that can't be good for you," you whisper softly, brows inturned. the night sky the only thing keeping you company beside your boyfriends voice.
"it's too fuckin' easy here," jj whispers, looking behind his shoulder to the other marines on phone calls. all smiles and tears as they speak with family. half of them will be dead by next week, and it won't be the wars doing. "i don't have to hide anythin', no one questions the pile of fuckin' bones in the sand."
a shiver runs across your arms, leaving goosebumps behind in its wake. your tummy rumbling at the thought, a deep hunger within you begging to be fed. "it's that easy?" you murmur softly, lips almost pouting with jealousy.
"baby i swear-" another quick look over his shoulder. "i could kill ten people today and no one would bat an eye."
your body grimaces at his words. it's easy to glaze over the act in which you both are forced to commit to eat. to take a life. to steal someone's memories, leave a family without their father, mother, son, or daughter. "you know i don't like it when you say it like that."
"i know, baby, i know, m'sorry," jj coos down the phone, cowering around one of the walls the phone sits between. the yellow sun hitting his eyes through the window, looking out to the miles and miles of pure sand.
"i gotta get out of here, baby, i'm goin' fucking crazy." jj mutters, eyes fluttering shut. transporting himself back into your arms.
hearing your soft sigh through the phone. picturing you sat on his dirt bike back home, kissing you on the couch in his trailer. the look on your face the first time he flirted with you, holding your hand behind your father's back. the time you took him to church, how pretty you looked all dolled up.
"i miss you so much, jay," you whisper softly, leaning into the phone against your ear. as though leaning further toward him.
his mouth opens to respond, before his sergeant's voice rings out to the phone room. "times up, ladies! back to fucking work!"
"fuck, i gotta go— i love you so much, baby, dreamin' of you every damn night, prettiest damn girl i ever—" beep... beep... beep...
"said times up, maybank." he repeats, finger on the receiver. how fucked would he be if his sergeant was next on his list? jj'll find out when his bones are on top of the pile.

wait can I (pls) request something where jj is on the ring fighting an opponent and the opponent, wanting to destabilize him, talks something gross or bad about reader (that is currently watching in the crowd and rooting for jj) but what this opponent didn't count on was jj beating the shit out of him (even more than necessary now) and actually winning?
- 𖥻 [ BAD MOUTHS GET BEAT ! ]
( 🥊 ) — JJ is a laid-back boy until it comes to you, he doesn’t hesitate to defend you and that definitely doesn’t change when in the ring— so when he steps into the ring, he’s calm and ready to win at first but when his opponent starts taunting him..he’s had enough— especially after you were mentioned. Now this isn’t for victory, it’s for you.
【 BOXER!JJ MAYBANK ! 】 & afab!reader ★ hurt /comfort fluff. protective jj. soft romance. & not proofread !
the smell of sweat and the shape echo of punching bags filled the gym. The crowd of onlookers murmuring in anticipation as the fight neared it’s peak, JJ stood in the ring, drenched and breathing heavily.
his opponent was a bulky guy who definitely wasn’t a slouch and had the attitude that could start problems in the quietest or rooms but none of that really phased JJ, not when you were in the crowd.
you were perched on the edge of your seat, your eyes fixed on your boyfriend as he eyed his opponent— waiting for the write moment to strike. You had seen JJ fight many times before, you were his cheerleader but this time felt different.
The energy in the room was charged with something more than just the thrill of the competition. you watched as your boyfriend struck, punching quick and sharp, “that’s it JJ!, you’ve got this!” You squealed for him— your eyes never left him and his eyes quickly directed to you just for a brief moment.
your support meant everything to him but— the taunting had started. His opponent grinning wickedly before swiping some blood off his lip. “That your girl in the crowd?” He sneered. “I bet she’s getting all hot and bothered watching you struggle.” His opponent continued, crooning at JJ like he was a child.
“you’re a weak fucking little boy and your girl? deserves a man who can actually protect her.” you could feel your stomach churning— having a slight idea as to what was coming next.
you could see JJ’s jaw tighten as his opponent just continued, “it would be terrible if your pretty little girl saw you lose, you gonna cry JJ?” His words were venomous and meant to make JJ falter but it did exactly the opposite.
you can see the shift in JJ’s eyes— a switch that flicked in his brain. Clenching his fist so tightly that his knuckles were white and it was all a blur.
the way JJ moved was quick, he closed the distance between them and landed a punch right onto that mans ribs. The crowd gasped and even you did when his opponent staggered back, his breath knocked out of him.
your boyfriends focus wasn’t on the fight anymore, it wasn’t about the win, it wasn’t about the glory.— it was about you now. The taunts, the insults..they were personal.
his opponent quickly tried to swing back, but JJ was faster. Another blow to his stomach— then to his jaw. Each punch felt like a release of anger he’d kept inside.
but now it was too much, referee attempting to step in but was quickly pushed away by JJ, his eyes locked on his opponent. “Disrespect her again, I fuckin’ dare you.” He spat, his chest rising with speed due to his heavy breathing.
the crowd was silent, focused on JJ and with a final crushing blow— JJ gave his signature smirk before his last punch. It sent his opponent to the ground, sprawling like a rag doll.
the referee quickly called the match and the crowd erupted into cheers. He stood over his opponent but you were quickly on your feet, cheering and clapping with a huge smile. You weren’t focused on his win— no, you were focused on the man who fought to defend you, even if it wasn’t very necessary.
his eyes quickly met yours, his legs leading him under the ropes and to you. The anger was clearly faded and replaced with a tenderness that was only for you. He pushed his hair out of the way, sweat dripping down his forehead. “You okay?” He asked as he finally approached.
“you’re asking me that?” You laughed, a small smile now on his face— “you did great.” You finished, your hands running through his sweat-drenched hair.
his breathing still heavy, still very out of breath. “That’s just what happens when someone talks about you.” He chuckled.
you laughed again, shaking your head in disbelief. “You’re crazy, ya know that?”
he pulled you into a tight embrace, holding you close as the crowds chatter and cheer continued though the sounds faded as he continued to hold you. The fight had been intense but this moment with you— it was everything.
you had no doubt in your mind that JJ would fight for you, in and out of the ring.
and you would always be there to cheer him on.

- 𖥻 [ ROUND AFTER A ROUND ! ]
( 🥊 ) — JJ’s win, which calls for a certain celebration between you both. He doesn’t hesitate to take that reward, which is you.
【 BOXER!JJ MAYBANK ! 】 & afab!reader ★ 18+. smut. oral sex (m. receiving). light hair pulling. p in v. & not proofread !
The cheers echoed off the corrugated walls of local gym, sweat, and adrenaline was thick in the air. The last punch JJ had thrown was an uppercut that sent his opponent to the floor, it landed with finality. Like punctuation on a perfect sentence though all you could focus on was the blood surrounding his face.
it had loudly been announced— ‘AND THE WINNER BY TKO..JAYY JAYY MAYBANK ! ’
the referee lifted his gloved hand into the air and JJ’s eyes? sought you. Not the couch, not the crowd, not even his buddies. You, his girl. You were his lighthouse in the crowded chaos.
JJ’s eyes continued to scan the crowd, wild and shining. The kind of triumph you’d only ever see in dreams. Then his gaze locked onto yours— everything else had blurred out itself. He grinned that usual lopsided one but tonight it was much softer, real.
he mouthed out to you, “come back.” and jerked his head towards the locker room, you didn’t hesitate.
backstage? was absolute chaos. People swarming, sweaty hugs being exchanged and bottles of water being tossed around but this wasn’t new to JJ, he’s seen this many many times so his eyes and attention? locked on you.
as you two stepped into the empty locker room, he quickly shut it behind you and pulled you in for a hug. He was trembling— not due to fear, never but because the adrenaline was still thumping throughout him.
“JJ—” you began, but he quickly shut you up with his lips.
the kiss was rough and needy, almost desperate. Months of tensions, late nights spent icing his knuckles, patching up his bruised ribs, watching himself nearly get killed to get here— every ounce of it exploded into that kiss.
“I told you I’d win.” He murmured against your lips, breath hot, hands cupping your jaw. “I told you I’d do it for you.”
“I never doubted you,” you murmured, “but I’m so proud of you.” — he kissed you again but much slower this time.
“I wanna celebrate, just us.” He said, voice a bit lower than before.
…
his place? was still and dimly lit. The air outside buzzed with life but inside, everything was slow. JJ dropped his duffel bag at the door of his bedroom— watching as you gently sat on his bed. He shut the door and the look in his eye? was different.
“you looked good out there, y’know?” He mumbled, “screaming my name and cheering me on— there’s no way I couldn’t win.” He continued
you couldn’t even respond before he kissed you once again, deep and his hands quickly found your waist. You tugged at the hem of his hoodie that he now had on— feeling the sticky heat of sweat clinging to him.
he quickly pulled it over his head along with his tank, revealing bruised ribs— that along with his taped hands? he looked beautiful. Golden skin, lean muscles and a heart beat that matched your exactly.
“you sure?” He asked, fingers brushing your bare thigh. Eyes soft but clearly hungry— then, clothes began to hit the floor one by one.
his kisses trailing over your collarbones and skin flushed from more than just heat. JJ was careful— his fingers tentative, like he couldn’t believe this was real. and once you started touching him— tracing the outline of his ribs, his abs and kissing the bruises like they were medals, he let go.
now there you were, on your knees infront of him. His bandages hands running through your hair. His cock standing proud before you grabbed it, making him hiss. He slightly whimpered as you placed sweet kisses around it.
you gently licked stripes, following the veins that trailed around. His head quickly being thrown back and his sore hands gripping the sheets before you officially took him into your mouth.
It took all his will not to thrust into your throat but you took him all, a whimper leaving his mouth. “oh my— fuckk..” He groaned as you continued to bob your head. His hand went to your hair, gripping it tightly— now? moving your head at his pace. His reward afterall.
you quickly pulled him out of your mouth once he let go, stroking him with your tongue out. Cum quickly landing on your tongue and falling along your chin.
then, you were laid against the bed. JJ hovering over you, he quickly lined himself up against your hole, his hand trembling from anticipation. He couldn’t let himself get this too fast— he gently ran his tip against your sweet folds, earning a whine from you.
you whimpered softly as he gently pushed his tip against your hole again, entering in just the tip. your grip on his sheets tightening the slightest bit.
a moan leaving you as he entered, inch by inch. Your bottom lip now stuck inbetween your teeth and his jaw quickly slacking.
this? this was so much more than sex to him. This was victory, release. He groaned against your throat, “oh fuck, you feel so..mmph— so much better than winning.”
he lifted his head up to meet your gaze, you quickly cupped his face as he continued to thrust into you— his hips wouldn’t stop moving anytime soon, both of you trembling. “Mhm— you deserve this, JJ.”
his hips progressively going faster, your moans getting louder. Your hands trailing his back, scratching it due to the intensifying pleasure. Your back arching as he continued to thrust into your hole, “oh fuck fuck, I think I’m gonna cum.” He groaned.
you panted as your nails trailed all around him, his biceps, back, and even shoulders. “I’m cumming— I’m cumming too!” You wailed before he pulled our, stroking himself and quickly painting your stomach white ..
after, you both were tangled in sweat-slicked sheets and soft murmured words. He kissed the top of your head, both of you were spent but you made sure of one thing—
you made sure JJ got a proper celebration of his own.
…
after that night, you had planned it. the party wasn’t exactly a party though it was somewhat a celebration for JJ. A bonefire at the beach, cooler filled up with cheap beer, someone’s old truck blasting some song you hadn’t heard before and just people drunkenly-yelling toasts every ten minutes.
JJ wearing a muscled tank now, his knuckles bandaged and chain resting against his sun-kissed skin. He sat in a folding chair, legs spread and bottle of that cheap beer in hand.
he watched you sway when a song you finally recognized came on, you danced to Fleetwood Mac as the sky began to bleed orange.
…
Later, after the music had faded and the others stumbled home, it was just the two of you left by the water. You pulled him by the hand towards the shoreline. He chuckled—
“I can’t swim right now, I have no energy.” He groaned, “you’re not swimming.” You quickly replied, turning to walk backwards and a grin plastered on your face like you had a secret. “You’re floating. With me.”
You were wearing one of his t-shirts, nothing under but your bottoms— he didn’t exactly have the energy but for you? yeah he’d go wherever. So you quickly dragged him into the shallows, laughing as the cold water lapped at your ankles.
The waves glowed very faintly in the moonlight, the air was warm and salty. He pulled you closer to him, pressing a soft kiss to your temple. “You know..every punch I threw at that guy was for you— us.” He chuckled as you looked right up at him.
you met his gaze and laughed, “you’re getting all sentimental, who are you? What’d you do with JJ?”
he just laughed and brushed his nose against yours.
…
you both ended up drifting off together that night, clueless and laughing until you weren’t— limbs tangled, both of you a little sun-burned and full of whatever cheap snacks you had.
when you woke up, it was to the hazy gold light of the early morning shining throughout the windows. JJ? he was already awake and watching you, a small grin on his face.
“geez, why are you staring so hard?” You laughed, a chuckle escaping him.
“Because you were my reward, you were..the best part.” He smiled before you hit his arm, a wince leaving him. “What about the party I planned for you?” You scoffed— a laugh erupting from him now.
“Yeah, that was great too I guess.” Which earned him another hit from you.

( 🥊 ) — jj decides to train you after being disrespected at a party but punching isn’t the only thing you learn from jj— it’s so much more than that.
【 BOXER!JJ MAYBANK ! 】 & afab!reader ★ not proofread. slow burn. mutual pining. protective jj. boxer!au & just a heavy makeout sesh !
The first time you saw JJ in the ring, he was literally electric. Shirtless, sweat-slicked, mouthguard half-chewed, and cocky as hell. You’d only come to his match because you were dragged too.
You weren’t into violence or whatever this adrenaline-fueled spectacle this was but— seeing you in the crowd. He winked and from there, you knew you were doomed.
…
“You need to learn how to throw a damn punch.” That was the first thing JJ said to you after he spotted someone by the kegger grab your arm way to hard for his liking. He asked if you were okay, though he didn’t even wait to hear you say ‘it wasn’t a big deal’.
“I don’t need to throw a punch.” You argued though your voice way too soft. JJ raised his brows, that usual smirk playing on his lips.— leaning on your front porch railing. “Alright, punch me.” He spoke bluntly, that made you choke on air. “What?” you answered, in clear shock.
“C’mon.” He said with a playful shrug. “You’ve gotta learn and I volunteer as tribute.” That grin still on his face— did you wanna punch it off? Yeah! but that was your friend.
you tried to ignore how stupidly good he looked and his even stupider suggestion. “Yeah no, I’m not punching you.”
he gently pushed off the railing, hands in the pocket of his ripped jeans. “Then come by the gym tomorrow. I’ll teach ya some things, you don’t really know what you’re capable of.”
his eyes ran through your body, a much gentler look entering them before he murmured, “let me show you.”
..
day one
the gym was small, tucked behind an auto shop on the edge of town. It smelled like sweat and old leather but JJ? he looked like he belonged there— like the heavy bag, taped hands and chalky hair was all apart of him.
and there you were, you definitely didn’t belong in that gym. It wasn’t your thing but again, there you were. You stood awkwardly by the door, arms crossed.
“Relax.” He chuckled, tossing you a pair of hand wraps. “We’re not entering the ring.” He paused, “yet.”— you caught the wraps clumsily, “I can’t even throw a punch.” You murmured.
“yet.” He repeated, walking over and tugging one of your arms out. “I’ll be the one showing you.” His fingers brushed your wrist as he began wrapping it, the air buzzing.
“Rule one?” He suddenly spoke, interrupting the silence between you both. His eyes on your hands, “is protection, wrist are delicate.” and you suddenly laughed, his eyes now on your face.
“Like you have any idea what delicate is.” You giggled, eyebrow raised. That earned you his signature grin, “I know it when I see it.”
he continued to wrap your wrist, “continuing with that, your bones are soft— your skin is softer. So we tape you up.” That made you raise an eyebrow.
“are you trying to..compliment me or scare me?” You murmured, that grin still on his face— glued on his face. “Why not both?” He chuckled before guiding you to a heavy bag.
“First, stance. Square up.” He softly commanded, doing the position himself to show you. You quickly attempted to mirror him. He laughed and stepped behind you, hands on your hips to adjust. “Like this, grounded and strong. You’re not a pushover— you’re a fighter.”
you didn’t exactly feel like one but the way he looked at you like that— like you were worth defending, like he knew you had something within you and maybe you did. He was the one trying help you see that, he wanted you to believe it and see it.
now you wanna believe and see it yourself.
..
after that? you just kept coming back, the rhythm of the workouts became a bit addicting to you— the jump rope, the bag work, the way JJ corrected your form by touching elbow, your waist and your shoulder. Always careful, always watching.
sometimes you laughed and swatted at each other like a ton of idiots with boxing gloves on. Sometimes he pushed you harder, harder than you thought you could handle but he always ended up being there if you stumbled.
“You’re getting better.” He said one afternoon, towel slung around his neck. His skin glistening under the harsh lights of the gym.
“I still can’t land a jab.” You huffed, frustration visible. he quickly stepped close. “You’re thinking too much about it, just feel it. Like this.” He raised your arm gently then tapped your chin with his knuckle. “Aim here, soft spot. Do it.” He suggested.
You knew it’d hurt him, you slightly hesitate but you tried, he quickly caught your wrist mid-air. “Not bad.” He said softly, looking at you like you’d just hung the stars. “I’m proud of you.” He continued,
those words? struck harder than any punch.
..
it started with needing to learn a simple punch but now you were sparring, you’d actually gotten a hit in— right to his ribs. You squealed in victory bouncing on your toes as he was bent over, groaning a bit.
as you were celebrating your ‘win’, he quickly stood and tackled you in a hug that turned into a tangle on the mat. You both were laughing, breathless. His hand braces beside your head.
you looked up at him. the sight of his hair mussed, lip bruised from a previous boxing session— it was unfair how beautiful he was. “I guess you’re dangerous now.” He chuckled, continuing to look down at you and suddenly? He couldn’t exactly hold back anymore.
He quickly leaned in and kissed you, his lips warm and his hair sweaty when you ran your hands through it. It would usually gross you out but right now?— definitely not. the kiss deepened within minutes, his tongue gently grazing against yours before you both pulled away, a line of saliva connecting you both.
after that little session, he can’t help but stop you on the way out. “Hey, uh..I have a match coming up and I definitely wanna see you there. You think you can..go?” He murmured , awaiting your response. “Yeah, I’ll be there.” You smiled, the smile on his face growing. you honestly couldn’t wait much longer to see him fight— and after that? training didn’t stop. It couldn’t, not after that.
You still threw jabs and he still corrected your form but now? kisses were involved— between rounds. You were stronger now but it wasn’t just cause of the training but because he made you see it. You were stronger because of your trainer, JJ.
the times where he lost his fights, now you were there. Kissing his split lip without flinching— he knew you were for real.
with JJ, it wasn’t just about punching or fighting— it was more than that.

“Like you have any idea what delicate is.” You giggled, eyebrow raised. That earned you his signature grin, “I know it when I see it.”
he continued to wrap your wrist, “continuing with that, your bones are soft— your skin is softer. So we tape you up.” That made you raise an eyebrow.
“are you trying to..compliment me or scare me?” You murmured, that grin still on his face— glued on his face. “Why not both?” He chuckled before guiding you to a heavy bag.
“First, stance. Square up.” He softly commanded, doing the position himself to show you. You quickly attempted to mirror him. He laughed and stepped behind you, hands on your hips to adjust. “Like this, grounded and strong. You’re not a pushover— you’re a fighter.”
you didn’t exactly feel like one but the way he looked at you like that— like you were worth defending, like he knew you had something within you and maybe you did. He was the one trying help you see that, he wanted you to believe it and see it.
now you wanna believe and see it yourself.
..
after that? you just kept coming back, the rhythm of the workouts became a bit addicting to you— the jump rope, the bag work, the way JJ corrected your form by touching elbow, your waist and your shoulder. Always careful, always watching.
sometimes you laughed and swatted at each other like a ton of idiots with boxing gloves on. Sometimes he pushed you harder, harder than you thought you could handle but he always ended up being there if you stumbled.
“You’re getting better.” He said one afternoon, towel slung around his neck. His skin glistening under the harsh lights of the gym.
“I still can’t land a jab.” You huffed, frustration visible. he quickly stepped close. “You’re thinking too much about it, just feel it. Like this.” He raised your arm gently then tapped your chin with his knuckle. “Aim here, soft spot. Do it.” He suggested.
You knew it’d hurt him, you slightly hesitate but you tried, he quickly caught your wrist mid-air. “Not bad.” He said softly, looking at you like you’d just hung the stars. “I’m proud of you.” He continued,
those words? struck harder than any punch.
..
it started with needing to learn a simple punch but now you were sparring, you’d actually gotten a hit in— right to his ribs. You squealed in victory bouncing on your toes as he was bent over, groaning a bit.
as you were celebrating your ‘win’, he quickly stood and tackled you in a hug that turned into a tangle on the mat. You both were laughing, breathless. His hand braces beside your head.
you looked up at him. the sight of his hair mussed, lip bruised from a previous boxing session— it was unfair how beautiful he was. “I guess you’re dangerous now.” He chuckled, continuing to look down at you and suddenly? He couldn’t exactly hold back anymore.
He quickly leaned in and kissed you, his lips warm and his hair sweaty when you ran your hands through it. It would usually gross you out but right now?— definitely not. the kiss deepened within minutes, his tongue gently grazing against yours before you both pulled away, a line of saliva connecting you both.
after that little session, he can’t help but stop you on the way out. “Hey, uh..I have a match coming up and I definitely wanna see you there. You think you can..go?” He murmured , awaiting your response. “Yeah, I’ll be there.” You smiled, the smile on his face growing. you honestly couldn’t wait much longer to see him fight— and after that? training didn’t stop. It couldn’t, not after that.
You still threw jabs and he still corrected your form but now? kisses were involved— between rounds. You were stronger now but it wasn’t just cause of the training but because he made you see it. You were stronger because of your trainer, JJ.
the times where he lost his fights, now you were there. Kissing his split lip without flinching— he knew you were for real.
with JJ, it wasn’t just about punching or fighting— it was more than that.

boxer!jj who … who has a tell, when he’s about to go in for the ‘kill’ he has a tiny half-smirk on his face because he knows his opponent is gonna drop, they don’t.
boxer!jj who … has bruised knuckles, obvious calloused hands, and a nose that’s been broken more than once. He always resets it himself like a damn maniac.
boxer!jj who … always had a pair of worn-out gloves handing from the review mirror of his truck / bike.
boxer!jj who … at first, never let you come to his matches— he’s scared you’ll see the side of him that never holds back but once you go, he finds comfort of your voice cutting throughout the chaos.
boxer!jj who … after fights, refuses proper medical attention. He prefers you to treat him and— you aren’t the best. He gives you a small smile, ‘doc said I need six stitches, you think I can do three?’
boxer!jj who … will teach you how to fight or throw a punch, but it’s mostly an excuse to touch you— an excuse to hold your hand and laugh when you made a mistake. ‘Nah babe, elbow in— you’re gonna break your wrist like that.’
