He leans on the frame, twisting his lips in contemplation. "Who's on the phone?" he wonders.
"Why?" Kiara questions with a confused tone through the door.
He shrugs, as if she could see him. "Just asking," he says.
Kiara opens the door, coming out dressed in her usual shorts and a purple Malibu Conservation T-shirt. From her work, he guesses. It's not revealing in any sense, but his eyes look her up and down anyway.
"Just a co-worker," she tells him. "He needs a ride to work, so I gotta leave early."
"Who, the Target manager?"
Kiara rolls her eyes. "Getting jealous?"
JJ barks a laugh. "Don't flatter yourself, I just like messing with you," he denies, taking a picture frame from her desk, looking it over. It's a picture of her and her parents. Surprised she has it, actually. That was probably mean to say, but from what little he is picking up on her home life, it doesn't seem like she's much interested in spending time with them.
He means, they live in Malibu. But not once has he overheard a phone call or heard her talk about them or seen her leave to meet them for dinner. Only time he even had a clue her parents owned a restaurant was when he was working it. And that wasn't an indication of good bonds.
"Right, well, I don't have time to go back and forth with you," she says, tugging on her shoes.
He nods. "You coming to the race tonight?"
The race in question is an illegal motorcycle street race along a dead end stretch of road out past one of the lesser known beaches in Malibu. JJ did a fair amount of street racing when he was in Kildare and then a bit in Charlotte when he was living with John B.
Kiara pulls a face. "Why, so I can watch you get splattered on the pavement?" she asks. "Absolutely."
"Fuck you," JJ chuckles. "You're just mad I'll beat whatever fuck boy you were hoping to bag tonight," he taunts.
Her confusion deepens. "What?"
"You're not bringing Mr. Target to the race?"
"Why would I do that?" she asks.
"I don't know, he's calling and asking you for a ride," JJ waywardly explains, not really making eye contact.
"He's just a co-worker and he needs a ride."
"I bet he does," JJ answers.
Kiara is at her vanity now, half way brushing through her hair when she pauses completely to cock her head to the side and throw out,
This is my first 'case' in my series of Jemily one shots and multi-chapter instalments. They are all connected but won't be in any order. They will be all about the relationship between Emily Prentiss and Jennifer Jareau and the life they create together. It was span years of time. Some may follow loosely to some canon events but it should all become clear as you read and any changes I hope to explain in my writing as it comes up.
They will vary wildly in length and rating. Some will be short, some like this one multiple long chapters, some two shots and so on. Some will be rated T and some will go all the way to E. Some will contain smut, some will be fluff, some angst, some a mix of some or all of the above.
This is the first one I am posting
What happens when JJ decides on the 25th anniversary of her older sister's death that she will take Emily, her wife and their two young daughters to spend the long weekend with JJ's mother, Sandy. Will it help JJ's mother deal with her grief? Can a strained relationship between JJ and her mother be healed with the help of JJ's daughters presence. What will happen when before the anniversary date actually hits, JJ and Emily get called away on a case? Is leaving their young daughters with Sandy a smart move or could tragedy be lurking around the corner yet again?

Ugh, there really is nothing like a good old fashioned protective JJ jiara fic and you can’t change my mind. It will do it for me every single time 👏🏼
I am here and down for JJ Maybank 100% of the time 😍 And I do love protective vibes, even when they're more subtle. Who loves their family and is more loyal to them than JJ????
I really love protective Kie too! They both just give so much "burn it all to the ground for you" energy it makes me FUCKING FERAL FHWEIHFOIWEH
Requested by @loveableniall : Hey I have a imagine request for JJ. The reader meaning y/n is best friends with the group. However she is delivering stuff to figure 8 and runs into some kooks. The kooks beat her up. But thank goodness the group (aka her best buds) come to her rescue,and in the end JJ ends up confessing his feelings for her. (Hope all that made sense haha. Can’t wait to read!) ☺️
Requested by @emmileeb1 : i was wondering if you could do something where the reader is a girl and gets beat up pretty bad by any of the kooks like topper or rafe or smth and jj is there to find her?
A/N: Soo, I decided to combine those two requests, since they’re similar. Thank you both so so much for requesting, I hope you’ll like it! <3

It was 8.30 in the morning and you woke up because of a text. You groaned but as you noticed it was from JJ, you smiled. But when you realize you’re smiling you immediately stopped. No pogue on pogue macking Y/N he doesn’t even like you You thought to yourself.
JJ: wake up sleepy princess we’re coming to get you in 30
Y/N: okay dumbass thanks for the reminder
You quickly took a shower, packed some food into your bag, just like Kie does, since you guys were the ones who were getting food supplies to the gang. You looked at the time, it was 9.1, still no notification from anyone. You knew you were the last person to get into the boat, but you still got worried.
As you patiently waited outside, petting your dog, you heard a similar voice shouting your name.
“Y/N, the best Pogue on the Earth, mademoiselle” JJ bowed his head and offered his hand. HMS Pogue and the gang were getting closer to you.
“Hi JJ!” You accept his offer, took him by the hand, hugged him and get into the boat. As soon as you greeted everyone, you sat down by JJ. He smiled at your actions.
“So, what took you guys so long?” You asked everyone while John B calmly, driving the boat.
“Pope’s dad asked us to deliver some stuff and we couldn’t say no. We have plenty of time and if we split the stuff, we thought it would end fast.” JJ explained to you.
“Yeah it’s not gonna take long, besides it’ll be some kind of exercise” Kie smiled at you, then stealing glances at Pope. Ah these lovers.
“That’s cool, I’d love to help” you said genuinely. JJ smiled at how genuine you were, sitting closer to you. You and JJ started to talk about normal stuff. He asked you how was your job at the Surf Shop, you asked him how he was feeling. You knew about his dad and you were so worried about JJ. Despite all of your worries, JJ reassured you that he’s completely fine and if something happens he’ll directly come to you. You just grinned and mumbled an “whatever you say JJ”
When you were enjoying JJ’s company by your side, you saw Pope and Kie cuddling and enjoying each other presence. JJ whispered,
“Isn’t it obvious they like each other?” He giggled.
“Yeah and it melts my heart” You giggled back looking at him. You both wished you guys could be like that. After all the peaceful moments, John B made an announcement.
“You four lovebirds, stop making me feel like a fifth wheel, I’ll have Sarah soon so you can cry, but anyways so here’s Figure 8, it’s our stop for today. Let’s go.” John B gave everyone supplies and a place to go. Before you leave, JJ came beside you.
“You sure you wanna go alone? We can go together?” He asked worried because he hated Kooks, especially Rafe and Topper. They hate each other and if they do something to you JJ would almost kill them.
“Yeah don’t worry, and besides I’m going to Mrs. Brown, her place is the closest from here.” You cupped and kissed his cheek, smiled. Then you left before he could say something. JJ just stayed there, trying to process what’s going on.
“Just date already, duh” John B said behind JJ.
“What are you talking about?” JJ said quickly turning his back to John B.
“Isn’t it obvious that you guys like each other? Like seriously if i was someone outside, I would literally think you guys were a couple.” John B said minding his own business and encouraging his best friend.
“You should confess her, there’s no way she would say ‘Oh JJ I don’t feel the same’ ” John B said with the impression of your voice.
JJ just stared at him for a second, got the things he need to deliver and left before they could talk.
“Listen to my advice JJ!” John B shouted behind his back.
“Whatever you say Johnny Boy” JJ muttered himself. On the way, he thought if you liked him back. JJ she kissed you But that doesn’t mean she likes me arghh JJ thought to himself.
Thankfully, any Kooks were there in JJ’s sight. He peacefully delivered the stuff Mr. Heyward gave and a bonus, he got 40 dollar tip. He thought about buying you a flower with this money because he wanted you to be happy.
You on the other hand while walking to Mrs. Brown’s house, you were peacefully walking and admiring the nature. You were thinking about JJ mostly. He’s so cute, Y/N STOP, he doesn’t like you back, what if your friendship would ruin because you kissed him? You panicked but your thoughts were interrupted when you heard a few guys and girls screaming your name.
“Wait isn’t that Y/N, JJ’s girl?” Rafe smirked.
“It looks like it” Topper with his devilish grin.
They slowly walked closer to you.
“Topper, Rafe stop, please just let me go.” You pleaded horror filling in your eyes.
“Don’t worry princess, we don’t live in a fairytale, so your prince JJ is not gonna save you.” Rafe mocked JJ, with the word “princess”.
And without a minute, they started to punch you from everywhere, some girls also joined. They continued to punch you, hurt you, but you didn’t understand why they would do such thing when you literally did nothing to them.
On the HMS Pogue, everyone was there, waiting for you. The gang was getting worried because Mrs. Brown’s house was the closest of them all. JJ was getting worried the most.
“I need to go find her.” JJ said worried, while couldn’t help but thinking the worst case scenario.
“I’ll come with you.” Kie said ensure of herself. You were like a sister to her.
“Of course we’re coming too.” John B said, speaking for both Pope and himself.
JJ smiled at their friends - family not leaving his back.
When they were walking they heard people shouting “HIT HER HIT HER!” constantly. They wondered whats going on so they went there.
When the gang saw a familiar person getting beating up, they ran faster. And then they realized you were the person who was getting beaten up.
JJ realized this first and literally the second he realized he punched Rafe fastest as possible. He started to punch her. Slowly then the gang joined you. Kie got the girls, John B got Topper, Pope went to Kelce and JJ went to Rafe. You were already fainted but they kept fighting. When Rafe got beaten up really bad, and JJ was choking him, the gang stopped him because he was almost killed him.
After Rafe got hurt really bad, the kooks left the place. They shouted “FUCK YOU ASSHOLES DON’T MESS WITH THE POGUES AGAIN!” and ran to you.
You were laying down the ground not moving at all. JJ picked you up bridal style and ran to HMS Pogue to take care of you with medical supplies.
You were so hurt, your face covered with blood. However, JJ was the same. He was so furious. He could have protected you in the first place. In the boat, you were still not opening your eyes, laying in the arms of JJ. The gang was pretty sad about you. JJ was almost crying and the gang could do nothing but hug him.
After a few minutes of emotional moments, you started to open your eyes and see four people bruised, puffy eyed hugging on you.
“Guys?” you mumbled. JJ looked at you in shock, hugged you so fast and started sobbing.
“Y/N, you scared the shit out of me. You’re alive. You’re really alive.” He said like thousand times. You just smiled at how worried he was. He looked extremely cute.
Kie noticed a special moment between you two. She nudged John B and Pope so they could understand.
“We’ll deliver this package to Mrs. Brown” Pope said. But you and JJ were too busy admiring each other to care. There was a short period of awkward silence but JJ decided to break the silence and let his feelings go. He remembered what John B told him before.
“Y/N?” He asked while you were still leaning on his lap bridal style.
“Yeah?” You looked up to him.
“I have something to tell you, and I hope you won’t get mad at me.” JJ said gulping.
You stood up to show him that you’re listening carefully.
“Argh okay, so umm” He couldn’t speak “I like you Y/N, so much and you were getting beaten up by Rafe, just made me almost kill him. I don’t know what you’re doing to me but you do.” You just stared at him, at a loss for words. JJ noticed your shock, and started to panic.
“I know you didn’t feel the s-” He was interrupted by your blooded lips, kissing his passionately.
The kiss was long, it was full of admiration and it was a way to show JJ you liked him back.
When you pulled away, you couldn’t help but laugh. “Does this explain a lot Mr. Protector?” you asked. JJ smiled at your goofiness and kissed you again. This kiss wasn’t long as the last one but it was good as it was because they’re JJ’s lips come on!!
“So are you my boyfriend now?” You asked looking at him smiling.
“Yeah, you’re my girl. No one can hurt you, I’m here now” JJ said holding you close.
“YES FINALLY!” Pope shouted from the harbour.
“GO GO GO!” Kie shouted.
“You were talking about me giving the d, JJ right? Now it’s your turn bro”
"JJ?" Sarah asks as he passes the rest of the girls team, who've huddle in the middle of the court to give the trainers and coaches space to look into Kiara's welfare.
Peterkin is knelt beside her, a trainer from the hosting school and coach Shoupe also at her side. Kiara is whimpering, back on the floor, and eyes welling with tears she's trying to hold back just to be tough.
JJ takes a knee at her side, gripping her hand as the trainer asks her questions. What she felt, did she hear a crack or pop, etc.
"JJ, you should go back to your team," Coach Peterkin says.
"I'm good," he declines, like it was his decision. "I won't get in the way," he promises.
Kiara's coach gives him a glaring look for not knowing his place, but says nothing after she sees how tightly Kiara is holding his hand, eyes tightly shut as she tries to take deep breaths to calm down.
Coach Peterkin lets the trainer continue testing her player's injury with presses and pokes at different points in her ankle. Kiara nods and shakes her head, informing them of where the pain is.
"Can you walk it off?" Peterkin asks after a moment.
Kiara nods, but JJ is doubtful, hoping that no one lets her get up without assistance. She leans up, taking Peterkin and Shoupe's hands to help pull herself to a standing position. JJ flanks her side, and when she tries to take a step, he's there to catch her before her ankle gives out and she's on the floor again.
He swings her arm around his shoulders, hoping to help her walk off the court. It's clear that she can't put any kind of pressure on it, and he only lets her go a couple more steps before he can't handle the small cries of pain and the tears rolling down her face.
"I got you," he says, before hooking an arm under her knees and lifting her up completely, carrying her out of the gym. Kiara buries her face in his chest, hiding her tears from the crowd.
