The College JJ Series

"caught"

REQUESTED: @ihatereadingXD

Summary: You get a little more action than you bargained for when you go over to JJ's apartment to watch a movie with him.

With John B down for the count with the flu (thanks JJ) and Pope at home in the Outer Banks for the weekend, JJ decided this was the weekend to make a move... sort of.

You'd been sick during the week (yeah, JJ's fault again), and while you were on the up and up now, he knew you weren't looking to drink much, if any, this weekend, in favor of trying to recover fully. You'd told him you were just going to lay around your apartment and do nothing.

JJ
So are you doing absolutely nothing the WHOLE weekend?

...why?

JJ
You act like I'm about to ask you if you'll help me hide a body

I don't have the upper body strength for that

JJ laughs and shakes his head.

JJ
Come over and watch a movie with me

Who's picking the movie?

JJ
Uh, you?

Correct. See you in ten.

You grab your phone and keys and lock up before making the short walk to the boys' apartment. You let yourself in with your copy of their key. You find JJ sprawled out on the couch in gray sweatpants and nothing else. You force yourself to keep your eyes trained on his face.

"Hey," he says, smiling at you as you drop your keys on the small table by the door.

"Hey," you reply. He stands up from the couch and ruffles his hair, making it stick up in every direction. You're thankful for the distraction of his wild hair as he walks towards you.

"C'mon," he says, reaching for your hand. "We're going to my room."

You were under the impression you were going to watch the movie on the couch, but who were you to question him? He leads you both to his bedroom and shuts the door. He motions for you to lay down, then tosses you the remote from his nightstand before joining you.

You're very aware of his bare torso next to you under the covers, so you decide to keep your distance for now, propping yourself up on your elbow while navigating to Netflix for something to watch.

"Respectfully, please don't choose something you know I'll hate," JJ comments as he settles into his bed.

You look down at him. "Respectfully, would I do that to you?" you ask, raising an eyebrow questioningly.

He shrugs. "I dunno. I just didn't want my kind offering of being able to choose what we watch to be taken advantage of."

Feeling a sudden mood come on, you reply with, "J, if I was going to take advantage of something you could offer me, it wouldn't be your kindness."

JJ's eyebrows shoot up in surprise at your comment, but you turn your gaze back to the tv to look through the movie selections in the horror genre. You feel triumphant at his reaction.

JJ watches you intently as you scroll through your choices. Other than when you were high from wisdom teeth surgery, you were usually more of a subtle flirt, and your bold comment had him reeling. He was torn between letting it go and coming back at you with something to keep the momentum going. He chooses the latter.
