requested; prompt #77. “ Those things you said yesterday…did you mean them?” + Jayvie
a/b; hi ❤ I hope you’re happy with how this turned out, I tried my best. Also sorry if there are any grammatical errors, I’m writing on my phone ( and I’ve already wrote three one-shots today aye ) , anyways: enjoy !
It was a almost two in the morning when Evie heard her phone buzzing, signaling her that she got a new message.
Quickly, to avoid waking up Mal, she opened the text, her eyes still half closed. If Evie hated one thing, was to have her beauty sleep interrupted.
The message was from Jay, he wrote only one word: “ red ”, that was their code if something bad happened. The blue haired girl couldn’t think at any bad situations that happened the previous day, but without hesitating she got up from her bed and made her way towards the door.
Quietly, Evie left the room and walked in the direction of Jay’s room; She knocked three times , made a short pause, then knocked once more - her special signature, while waiting for Jay to open the door.
The former thief, heard the knocking and went to open the door, so Evie could get in. As soon as he saw Evie’s figure, he wrapped his muscular arms around her body, “ That bad, huh?” Evie wishpered, putting her hands around Jay’s neck.
Evie closed the door with her leg, then she pulled away from Jay, taking his hand and motioning for him to go lay on the bed; the boy did as told and sat on the bed, while Evie went to the mini-bar he and Carlos had in their room and grabbed some chocolate.
“ Where’s Carlos?” Evie asked as she noticed the missing boy from the room, “ With Jane, ” was all that Jay replied.
Evie nodded slowly, jumping on the bed near Jay, handing him the chocolate and letting the boy lay his head on her lap.
In these situation, she would let Jay to calm down and after that, only if he wanted, he’d tell her what actually happened. Evie understood that he wasn’t the one to share his feelings , so she didn’t persuaded him.
“ Most of the time, I’m the one cheering you up, E,” Jay smiled sadly
“ There’s a beginning for everything, isn’t it ?” she chuckled, Evie wasn’t the expertise about how to make people feel better, but she always tried her best.
“ Honestly, I’m not the best at cheering people up, but I’ll always try my best for you, J,” she smiled, “ Remember when we were kids ?” she asked
Eating the last bite of the chocolate, Jay nodded, how could he ever forget his childhood? It wasn’t exactly a dream.
“ There was this one day, when mother let me go with you on a trip. It was the first and last time,” she laughed remembering the things that happened in that day, “ you made me go fishing, even though you hated it,” this time Jay laughed, he remembered how he only wanted to impress her with something new.
“ I know you only wanted to impress me, I appreciate that,” Evie laughed, “Even if that day you almost drowned?” Jay asked, almost half-asleep now.
Evie remembered how she fell into the cold water, ruining her clothes and make-up and hair, later that day her mother yelling at her and grounding Evie, “ You saved me,” was her reply.
And it was true, Jay jumped right after her, pulling her out and after that trying to cheer her up.
“ I remember how for two weeks after that you kept coming at the castle and bringing me small gifts you stole,” Evie smiled, Jay was her first true friend, even before Mal or Carlos, he just was always there for her.
Evie looked down at Jay, he was almost sleeping, so the girl thought it was safe to kiss his forehead saying, “ Ever since that day you kept always saving me, Jay, even when I didn’t need saving, that’s why I love you,” she wishpered, moving Jay on the pillow near her, so she could lay besides him.
Evie was fast asleep, not hearing when Jay mumbled, “ I always loved you too, E. ”
- The next morning Jay was the first one to wake up, he yawned opening his eyes. He noticed the blue locks spilled all around his pillow, seeing Evie sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He smiled, a fragment of the last night appearing in his memory; a pair of soft lips kissing his forehead, then a calm voice whispering a phrase, the only three words he heard were the last, the three words he never heard before, ‘I love you’ ; was that real? Did Evie said that? Jay wasn’t sure.
He wanted to believe that he didn’t dream that, because for sure he loved her. He always loved her and now, he decided the wait has to come to an end, “ Evie, wake up,” he said kissing her cheek.
Evie’s eyes opened widely at the feeling of warm lips pressed on her skin, “ Jay?”
“ Those things you said last night…did you mean them?” Jay asked, not even thinking.
Evie pulled away from his embrace, now looking into his eyes. He knew and she was so scared he didn’t feel the same, “ What t-things?”
Jay sighed, pulling her back into his arms, “ The last thing you said before you fell asleep. You said you love me. Did you mean that?”
Evie giggled awkwardly, “ Now it’s out , I guess. ”
“ I’m glad, ” Jay smirked, “ because I love you too, E. I always did. ”
The next thing they knew it was that the door was opened by Carlos who held Dude in his arms. The boy looked shocked for a moment, then a grin appeared on his face, “ About time you two get together. ”
