JJ Maybank Imagines

To be Happy

"I mean- I don't know why you don't at least try with John B. He's all 'oh y/n' and then he kissed you!" JJ rants, mocking John B in a weird accent. He's been on my ass about dating JB and for what reason? I'm not sure.

"He kissed me on the cheek" I corrected. "it's not like we were making out" I try and tell JJ. We were driving to my house. We've been best friends for as long as I can remember.

a few days later

JJs words got in my head. I'd convinced myself, well JJ has convinced me, JB had a crush on me. Despite not fully having one on him I kissed him.

"woah" he chuckles. Embarrassment immediately fills me from head to toe.

"I'm sorry it's just- well- JJ kinda convinced me you like me and-" he stops my stuttering by pressing a finger to my lips.

"it's fine" he laughs "just don't listen to JJ anymore."

After that awkward interaction I went over to JJs house. To my luck, Luke wasn't home. I went to JJs room but he wasn't there. Where was he?

"JJ open up!" I yelled, pounding on the bathroom door. He yelled something back before opening the door. His hair was damp and he was wearing only sweatpants.

"you're an asshole" I grumble, trying to ignore how I was openly checking him out. He cocks an eyebrow on confusion.

"I kissed him and he doesn't like me back" I huff. The memory made me want to throw up. I knew he didn't car but I do. JJ grits his teeth with a laugh.

"I didn't think you'd actually listen to me" he says sheepishly. I groan and slap his arm before marching to his room and flopping onto the bed. I grab his pillow and scream into it, he just watched while trying not too laugh.

Soon enough JJ flopped down next to me. His bed was small causing his body to press against mine as we both stared at the ceiling.

"why did you want me to date B so bad?" I asked. He shrugged then sighed.

"you always talk about wanting a boyfriend, I wanted you to be happy" he gulped. I turn and face him with confusion in my expression.

"you care about me that much?" I joke. I knew JJ loved me and I loved him too. Sometimes I'm not sure if it's in more than a friendly way.

"of course I do" he says, trying to act cool or something. I giggle and lay back down but this time on my side to face him.

He turned to face me as well. JJs hand came to my face and pushed a piece of hair away from my eyes. I watched as his eyes flickered from my lips to my eyes.

"what made you think John B would make me happy?" I ask. I seemed to intrude a thought before he answered.

"I thought he liked you and you liked him " JJ shrugs. Well he was obviously wrong on that one.

"we'll, I think I like someone else" I admit. JJ cocks an eyebrow with a grin. His eyes went back to darting around my face.

"if I kiss you right now...would you kiss me back?" he whispered nervously. I grin.

"I guess you'll have to find out" I giggle. Before I knew it his lips were on mine in a rather hungry kiss. I never knew how bad I wanted this until it was happening.

This is what made me happy. Not John B, not Pope, not some random tourist. JJ Mayabank makes me happy.
