JJ Maybank Oneshots

Caught

Plot- JJ and Kiara have kept their relationship a secret from the rest of the Pogues. Pope sees something he isn't supposed to, but his snooping afterward confirms his suspicions.

Note- I'm doing all of these. We're gonna pluck em off one by one. There's like four requests in one.

A normal day at the chateau consisted of beer and video games. While most of the time John B loved having people over, he told them he wanted to be alone that day. It wasn't exactly in character, but he had just gotten out of jail, so they supposed they'd cut him some slack.

JJ's first instinct was to find Kiara. He wished he'd known Pope would already be at her house. When she answers the door upon the blonde boy's knock, there's silent panic in her eyes.

Play it cool

JJ internally groans. He was seriously hoping for some sort of action. Unfortunately, Pope had thrown a wrench in that plan just by existing in her presence.

"Hey, guys, what're you up to?"

Pope was actually looking at the homework from their day at school. Kiara had asked for notes while JJ barely remembered the class at all.

"Studying."

Kill me now

"Typical, Pope." The Maybank sighs and Kiara laughs.

"I'm starving..." He whines afterward, and Kiara closes her eyes. "You know the place with the best freaking shrimp and grits in the world?"

"Up your ass?" She snaps. "My dad won't let you guys eat for free anymore, remember?"

Pope looks a little upset at her words while JJ pouts like a child.

"What if... we do pay for it." Pope says, and JJ grins.

"You mean what if I pay for it." Kiara groans.

The boys are still smiling and she gives in after a moment. "Alright, I'll bring it back here. Pope I need you to keep studying so you can quiz me."

"I'll go with Kie!" JJ doesn't wait for his friend's reply.

JJ and Kiara remain quiet as they pull out of her driveway. It isn't until they're a full block away from the house that JJ rests his hand on her leg.

"Kinda wish you'd told me the third wheel was coming."

One hand loosens on the wheel to reach down and intertwine with his. JJ's smile shows and he watches as hers surfaced. There's a comfortable silence until a less than happy thought crosses her mind.

"This is so wrong." She mumbled, and her smile fell. "Pope doesn't deserve this."

JJ is silent. She wasn't the only one with concerns in their plan. They hadn't meant to fall for each other. JJ supposed things would've gone differently if she'd just turned him away when he showed up with bruises at three in the morning.

Or if she hadn't bought that green bikini...

"We'll tell him." He says, rubbing his thumb over her knee. "We will. Things are just... it's still fresh. We don't even know where it's going."

Her smile tries to return, and JJ stared out the window uneasily. He's hoping things will sort themselves out. They both value Pope's friendship, and its slowly becoming an issue.

When they arrive at the Wreck, JJ is racing to open the door for her. It's a little game Kiara likes to let him win. It's almost instinct to wait for him now.
