Prompt: you and jj both liked each other, but to stubborn to admit. When something goes down at the bonfire, feelings get confessed
Warnings: season2 spoilers!!!, cussing, fighting, drinking underage, weed.
the air felt nice, especially considering schools about to start. The bonfire was going down today, it happens every year before school starts. you and the pogues sat around the chateau, killing time until we had to leave.
john b and sarah got into it, so you had no clue where she was. yet you didnāt bother to ask, john be clearly looked pissed. you were seated next to jj, his hand running up and down your thigh.
the rest of the group thought the two of you would end up like john b and sarah⦠you werenāt ready to play that game. jj was the best, your best friend; but he had a reputation. his record of keeping a girl lasted about a night or so⦠kicking them out the next morning.
he was cute, definite ladies man. he was funny, mostly genuine when with his friends. yet, you werenāt about to risk saying anything, especially when you had no idea if he even viewed you like that.
you sat quietly, causing him to glance over at you. āhey?ā
āYou good ?ā he softly pokes you, your head nodding. your mind carried away with thoughts. some about your family issues, other danced around the fact that you were up late reading some steamy books. having the desperate need of something more stuck in the back of your head.
āYou sure? Youāre quiet today.ā his voice brought you out of your daze, you sigh. āyeah, jay ām fine.ā you stood up, heading outside for a breathe of fresh air.
you missed the look john b threw towards jj, or the way jj followed your retreating figure with his eyes.
āwhatās up with her today?ā john b asked jj, who just answered with a shrug.
You let your feet dangle in the water. the frustration felt like it was just bubbling at the surface, you wanted to be away from everyone at the moment. not wanting to pop off someone, just because you couldnāt find someone to take the edge off.
thatās when a idea popped into your head. you could just find a cute boy at the party tonight; a great distraction. someone to help take the edge off. it was decided, you were gonna have a good fucking time, find someone who was worth it, and let out some much needed relief. no feelings, no problems.
āSo you gonna tell me whatās up?ā JJ plopped down beside you, nearly causing you to let out a startled scream. you slap his arm softly,Ā āyaā scared me, jesus.ā
he laughed, nudging your shoulder. āwassup? for real.ā you bit your lip softly, deciding to be honest.
āif im honest, promise you wont laugh.ā you held your pinky out, and he nods linking his pinky with yous. āpromise.ā
āim frustrated today.ā
his eyebrows raised, āwha- ohh. wait how come?ā
you glance at him confused, āwhat do you mean āhow comeā. girls have needs too, come on jj.ā his hands raise in defense, ādidnāt say yaā didnāt, just confused is all. i mean come on, you donāt have anyone to handle that with?ā
āno jj, im not like you. i donāt just sleep with whoever, whenever⦠but tonight i think i might pull one of your moves.ā he laughs at that. āwhy didnāt you just ask me instead?ā
you choke on your spit, do what. ask him? you bust out laughing. āAsk you? god your funny.ā he pouts, āi donāt see why your laughing. im pretty skilled, if i do say so myself.ā
you stare at him in disbelief, āyou must think your hot shit, but also we canāt. no pogue on pogue macking remember?ā
he rolls his eyes, āthatās bullshit and you know it, but hey. if you donāt end up going home with someone, offers still available.ā and with that he stood up, leaving you confused and alone.
what the fuck just happened?
