Rafe and JJ Imagines

Fake Boyfriend- JJ

Aaliyah stormed over to her group of friends, grains of sand painfully flicking against the back of her legs due to the aggression held in her walk.
She pulled up a fold out chair and sat it between Kiara and Pope.

"What's got you all pissed?" JJ asked, delicately rolling a new blunt between his fingers.

Aaliyah narrowed her eyes, "This stupid prick won't leave me alone."

The group all perked up, their eyes meeting Aaliyah's.
"Who?" Sarah asked

"Tom." She mumbled

John B's eyes widened, "Evans?! Is he seriously still not leaving you alone?!"

Aaliyah nodded, "He's hit on me at least 5 times tonight- I keep telling him to fuck off but the little prick keeps coming back."

"I'll sort him out." JJ growled, his muscles tensing in anger.

"No JJ! You're already on probation you can't be getting into anymore fights." Aaliyah said

"I don't give a flying fuck about my probation! This sleaze won't take no for an answer and refuses to leave my best friend alone!" JJ exclaimed, shoving the blunt into Pope's hand.

John B reached over and plucked the blunt from Pope's hand, knowing he was extremely uncomfortable by the frantic expression on his face once the joint was placed in his possession.

"There is a simple solution here that doesn't involve JJ beating Tom to a bloody pulp." Sarah stated

JJ cocked his eyebrow, "Enlighten us about this solution then Sarah."

Sarah rolled her eyes at JJ's sarcasm, "Someone just needs to pretend to be Lia's boyfriend for a while."

Aaliyah's eyes widened as she chocked on her own spit, a loud hysteric cough escaping her lips in shock.
"Excuse me?!"

Sarah nodded, "Well Tom clearly isn't going to leave you alone, so just pretend you have a boyfriend and he'll surely get the message then."

"I don't know..." Aaliyah answered skeptically, her eyes drifting over to Tom Evans who stood a fair distance away staring Aaliyah down giving her flirtatious looks and sly winks.

"I vote yes and I also vote that I'm the boyfriend." JJ blurted

Aaliyah's chest began to tighten with anxiety, never in a million years did she expect to have JJ as a boyfriend- even if he was just a fake one. Aaliyah had always had a thing for JJ, for the longest time she had been hiding her true feelings away- scared about everyone's reactions, especially JJ's.
Some days were easier than others, some days she could be around JJ and not have to worry about her growing feelings but other days most days she struggled to even be around him- to watch him flirt with Kiara, to watch him hook up with various different girls at parties and to watch him treat her as just a friend.
Having JJ being her fake boyfriend would hurt even more, knowing that he was going to kiss her, hug her and call her cute cliche names just to turn around and treat her like one of the guys as soon as Tom looks the other way.

"This isn't necessary really." Aaliyah said

"No it's happening, I'll be the best fake boyfriend you could ever hope for." JJ smirked

If only you were willing to be my real boyfriend.
If only you felt the same way I do.

"Lia come get a drink with me." Kiara said, quickly standing up from the chair and dragging Aaliyah off before she could even give a response.

Once they were a good distance away from the rest of the group, Kiara wrapped Aaliyah in her arms.
"You don't have to do it if you're not comfortable." She whispered.
