Toriano Jackson Oneshots

we're "just friends"

((Modern au. J5 era))
Tito's POV

I would always hear Jackie talk about the "friend zone" when we were younger. He always warned me, saying to be careful what girl you fall for, she could accidentally break your heart. I didn't listen... and here I am. Marley is my bestfriend! And don't get me wrong, it's pretty cool! We're bros! But I don't want to be bros anymore.. she is just the most gorgeous, intelligent, amazing, funny, sweet, sexy woman I've ever met. I don't believe in soulmates but if they were real.... I mean 👀.. And the thing is, we would make such a good couple! Life isn't fair. But anyways- We're sitting on my bed and she's complaining about ANOTHER boy who broke her heart. She's not one to sleep around, she just keeps giving assholes chances. She's too nice to people.

I look at her and hug her "it's okay, Mar bear" I kissed her hands "I'd never do that to you.." I gave her a small smile. Marley mushed me "you're such a joker, Toriano!" She put her hair up "you always know how to cheer me up. Thank you for being there for me. You're the best.." she kissed my forehead. I sighed "if you like me so much, why don't you marry me?" I gave her a sarcastic look.

She chuckled "maybe I will! I used to have a crush on you back when we first met.." "What happened?" She looked at me and shrugged "you just didn't seem interested.. I guess. Don't you remember, I would do everything to try and drop a hint. Leave you notes and ask you to be my Valentine every year?? I'd draw hearts on your hands all the time!" She looked at me. I thought back "oh shit... you're right, huh? I'm kinda slow, aren't I" I shook my head "I thought you asked me to be your Valentine because you were lonely" I shrugged. She looked at me, unamused. "Bitch, I am gorgeous. And I have double d's ??? I can pull you, your brothers, and their bestfriends." She smiled at me confidently.

I smirked at her "well yeah you could pull me. But you wouldn't have to try hard.." I look her up and down and then continue "I already like you.." I sat up more. Marley looked at me "you wouldn't break my heart, would you?" She leaned on me. I shook my head "of course not. Geez, someone needs to beat my ass if I ever break your heart" I turned to her. "I promise.." I held out my pinky. Marley giggled softly and latched our pinkies together.

"I'm going to kick you in the balls if you break this promise" her face went serious for a few moments. I nodded "Understood, ma'am" I tried not to giggle. Marley smiled softly and leaned closer "then maybe we cannnnn-"

I cut her off with a kiss. She looked at me with shocked eyes but kissed back. I've waited for this for so long! And it's just how I imagined... sweet, soft... her lips are pillowy maybe even... and of course, her chapstick is skittles flavored. Where did she get that from. I pulled her closer and she grabbed my chin.

Jermaine walked in my room and we quickly split apart. I licked my lips and raised an eyebrow at him "knocking much??" I chuckled softly. Marley laughed and looked at him pulling her elastic back out. Jermaine eyed us "just friends my ass! Y'all were about to fu-" I cut him off "no we were not..I think.. Anyways what the hell do you want?" He blinked "you think..? Anyways- I neeeeeeeed-" "no" "I- I just need to borrow 5 dollars" I looked at him "no you don't. You just don't want to spend your own money." Jermaine blinked "you right.. but like- I'll pay you back!" I sighed "you owe me 73 dollars.." I sighed and got up, pushing him out of my room. "Goodbye, Jermaine!" He walked away.

I walked back into my room. Marley looked up at me "you think?" She giggled. I stopped. Shit. I forgot I had said that. "I um-" she cut me off with a short kiss. "I have to go. Maybe next time, Tito.." she winked and gave me another kiss, wrapping her arms around my neck. I snaked my arms around her waist and kissed back.

Marley pulled away and giggled "if you're going to be my boyfriend, you have to start noticing when I straighten my hair. That shit takes a lot of work!" She pouted. I giggled "your hair is in braids and twist and shit the rest of the time. Of course I noticed. It's cute... I like the butterfly locs better tho.." I let go of her and grabbed her hands "but miss lady, you have to go. So goodbye"

I kissed her gently and she smiled softly "adios. Hasta luego" she looked me up and down "that means bye, see you later" she giggled and ran off. I sighed happily and laid back on my bed, just smiling like a dumbass. She's my bestfriend and my girlfriend now! Hell yeah..
