"Louis! Hey man!" John B greets when JJ, Leo and Louis enter the van.

Louis sends him a small wave and pat on the shoulder before trying to sit down in the van. He grits his teeth when he feels a sharp pain on his side, JJ noticing.

"Woah. Louis. Take it easy. Is it still hurting you that bad?" JJ asks.

Louis gives him a small glare and slaps JJ's hand away when he tries to help him sit, sending a message as to say 'I can do it myself'.

"You don't heal right after you get shot JJ. Yeah it fucking hurts still. Not as much as it use to but it still hurts." Louis pouts out.

JJ nods and watched Louis' every move as he sits down carefully. When Louis is finally sitting, his hands resting in his lap, JJ climbs over the console and sits in the passenger seat. John B sends JJ a look of annoyance but doesn't say anything. Leo sits next to his brother and breaks half of his eggo waffle, giving it to John B.

John B sends Leo a grateful smile before looking at Louis to make sure he is okay. When both Caswell boys seem okay, John B starts the van and is off on their next adventure.

"I'm just saying, I don't understand why you don't at least try with Kiara." JJ suddenly says, looking over at John B.
"She clearly likes you. She's like, "Oh, John B."' JJ intimidates Kie.

"Is that what she does?" John B asks before taking a bite out of the waffle.

"She's sketching about you diving, then she kissed you." JJ says, drastically moving his hands.

Leo looks at JJ like he is crazy but continues to eat his part of the waffle. He has never been in a relationship, so who was he to put his input in the matter.

"She kissed me on the cheek. It's not like we were makin' out." John B says, a bit of annoyance in his voice.

"Low-hanging fruit, bro. Don't pretend you don't notice. I see it in your eyes. You're like, "I kinda like that," and you start blushing." JJ teases.

"I blush?"

"Yeah." JJ anwsers John B's question.

"Really? I don't think you have room to talk lover boy." John B says.

JJ gives him a questioning look before stealing a quick glance with Louis in the rearview mirror.

"You have gone soft. You are soft." John B admits.

"I'm not. I call bullshit." JJ says.

"It's not bullshit."

"Hell the fuck yeah man, it is. I'm not soft. Who would I even be soft for? I hangout with the pogues, that's it. You already know I've tried and failed with Kie. I am not soft and I certainly haven't gotten soft for anyone. That's bullshit man."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night." John B says, before whispering to JJ "I'm sure thinking of them helps you sleep too."

JJ slaps John B's arm before looking out the window, mumbling curse words.
"You may be like a brother but fuck man, you are annoying as hell. Also blind as hell if you see me as becoming soft. Do you need a doctor? I can probably have an appointment by noon for you to get yours eyes checked, it may be through the black market though. Not sure how legal that is." JJ teases John B.
