LOVER || JJ MAYBANK

I

the wind grazed the brunette's skin, as her hair slightly waved in the air, almost hitting the girl behind her face. the sun was setting, leaving the sky a beautiful red, orange and pink tone, and the clouds were fading to blend in with the sky. the boat, with 'HMS POGUE' written across its right side, was floating stationary on the gentle water that was flowing underneath the group.

the pogues were enjoying the end of their day by sitting on their boat, drinking beer and having a great time in general. kiara was sat towards the back of the boat with scarlett lay in between her legs; jj sat not far in front of the pair, enjoying his third beer of that hour - most of the first two ended up in the water; john b and pope sat across from kiara and scarlett, john b drinking the same beverage as jj, and pope just enjoying the converse, since he'd decided to cut himself off after two beers, since he'd be the one dropping everyone back off.

"-and she let out this- like, howl, almost. it was fuckin' creepy." jj reminisced the events of the previous night.

john b laughed along with the other pogues, "what'd you do?"

"i left."

scar cackled, throwing a hand over her slightly chapped lips, "no! jj, that poor girl is probably turned off of mating for life!"

each one of the pogues all burst into laughter at the girl's comment, jj however didn't understand her joke, "scar, she was like a wolf!"

scarlett began laughing this time, "jj- i said mating!"

"yeah. and?"

pope was ashamed of his blonde friend - he thought he'd actually taught him something, but jj must have been high when pope taught him the difference between mating and sex, "wolves mate, jj!"

the maybank boy looked to the side for a minute while he tried to figure out what pope was getting at. it took him a while, but he eventually remembered the science lesson that his friend gave him only a few weeks beforehand.

"oh! people fuck, wolves mate!"

pope nodded his head in the boy's direction while chuckling.

jj threw his head back in laughter, "scar, you're cruel."

she smiled widely, squinting her eyes, and putting her drink to the side then placing both her hands under her chin and posing, "it's my personality, babe."

he threw a wink in the fernsby's direction, before taking a sip of his drink.

oh, how the pogues loved their lives.

―

by the time the pogues had all decided to split up and go back to their homes, the sun had already set and the sky was near enough pitch black. pope had already dropped kiara off and just needed to drop the remaining pogues off.

"scarlett." jj spoke, getting the girl's attention, "you going home tonight? or you comin' back to the château tonight?"

she thought for a moment; she could go back home, but her parents were most likely at home - that wouldn't end well, like usual. or scarlett could go to john b's, the much safer option.

"jb's." she replied softly, "yeah, definitely jb's. my dad's going to be absolutely pissed because i stole a tiny bit of his weed."

the girl tensed up just thinking about the consequences, and began to get very anxious - jj noticed her anxiety beginning to kick in slightly and decided to sit next to her, pulling the brunette into a gentle hug.

"your dad's a prick." it may seem slightly insensitive, but jj knew that it was one of the only things she wanted to hear right then.

she chuckled, "mhm."

after around ten minutes, the group pulled up to the château. they said goodbye to pope, before retreating to the warmth of john b's home.

as soon as they got into the old fish shack, scar went straight to where she kept her clothes, and changed into a pair of long sleeved -and legged- pyjamas. jj did the same thing as her after she'd finished getting changed in the spare bedroom.

once they were all changed, the trio gathered in the living room area.

john b yawned, "i'm beat. goodnight."

the remaining pair both muttered a 'goodnight' before scarlett sat down on the pull out. she was about to pull up the blanket when jj stopped her.

"what are you doing?" he pulled the blanket away.

"going to sleep." she said, confused.

"no. you're sleeping in the bedroom."

"you are."

"no i'm not."

"yes, you are."

"not."

"are."

"not."

scarlett stopped the mini feud over who got the bedroom with a short sentence, "just take the room, jj!"

"fine." the blonde replied, before picking his friend up, wapping her legs around his waist and carrying her into the spare bedroom. he placed her onto the bed before climbing into it with her.

"what the hell, jj." scarlett monotoned.

jj laughed softly, "you told me to take the room; you never said that i couldn't bring you with me."

scarlett rolled her eyes, not even bothering to reply to her determined friend, and climbed under the blankets, laying down next to the maybank boy.

"you love me really, scar."

"yeah." she replied, sleepily, cuddling up to jj's side, which in return he wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her slightly closer to him.

"goodnight, jj."

"goodnight, scarlett."
