it probably wasn’t fair for jj to assume sarah had ill-intentions for his best friend, but he couldn’t help but be protective. he knew john b was a soft guy and would easily get hurt, especially when he was so upset about his missing dad lately. he was surprised she said she liked john b, not able to doubt her words. however, before he could say anything else about it, he was stunned by her finding out about rafe coming to his house. immediately, he began to panic and think of an excuse. “what? why are you following your brother around? that’s kind of creepy, sarah,” he said, a laugh escaping him as he tried to avoid the topic. “maybe i am buying something off of him. or, maybe he’s buying something off of me. what’s it matter?” he asked with a one shouldered shrug.
sarah’s eyes narrowed slightly, taking note of the deflection from the topic at hand that jj exhibited. “why are you acting surprised? it’s rafe here that we’re talking about. one of these days, he’s going to get caught up in something that he won’t be able to talk his way out of.” she was getting far too worked up over this. “he may be a pain in the ass but i still care about him.” she stated, arms folding tightly across her chest as she listened to jj continue to speak. it felt as if he was being a bit overly defensive about this all. but the most important thing here was the fact that jj seemed to be keeping what he and rafe were doing together a secret, which only heightened her curiosity. “i guess in the end it doesn’t matter, but i thought you guys weren’t necessarily the biggest fans of one another. so you’re just… mutually using one another? for what?”
