Celestial ~ JJ Maybank

019.

The night came and went after JJ dropped Kiara and Pope home. The two blondes made their way to Celeste's house after she told him that going home was a big no-no. Soon after getting into bed, they both fell straight to sleep.

Waking up in the morning felt like a breath of fresh air. The beauty of waking under the rays of the morning light was something neither wanted to take for granted. Every morning, it felt like the calm before the storm, and they never wanted to leave the confinements of the room. It was their own special place. A peace only reserved for them. Their own special paradise.

A knock at the door interrupted the peaceful slumber they were wrapped up in.

JJ groaned from beside her, mumbling out something incoherent.

Celeste sighed heavily, "Yeah?"

The door creaked open and Luna peered around the corner.

"Are you guys decent?"

Celeste cleared her throat and sat up, nudging the boy beside her harshly for him to wake up. He grunted before flipping over so that he was laid on his back.

"Yeah we're uh... we're decent mom" Celeste stuttered a little.

"Well, your father and I have got breakfast ready so get your asses downstairs and eat up. We want to know everything" she told them, using her motherly tone. Celeste knew that tone of voice all too well and simply nodded at her. She'd already told her parents about the gold so this shouldn't be too bad.

JJ moved to lay his head on Celeste's shoulder, looking to Luna, "Food sounds so good right now"

Luna smiled wildly at him, before singing, "it's your favourite JJ"

The Maybank boy sat up fully with wide eyes, "my favourite?"

"Orange juice, bananas, strawberries and a boat load of pancakes"

JJ groaned in happiness, "Oh mama F you know how to speak my language!" Celeste couldn't stop the laugh from bubbling in her chest at his dramatics.

"Well then hurry up, or my husband will be more than glad to get started without you. And with your appetites, you might as well be his son anyway" Luna told them, watching her daughter and the boy they thought of as a son smile lovingly at each other, whether they realised that or not. She then walked out, leaving the door open ajar.

"Love you Luna!" JJ called after the woman, hearing her laughter as she continued walking away. His stomach was already rumbling at the thought of the food she made.

"Ahem" Celeste coughed to get his attention. When got it, she pouted playfully at him, "you love my mom more than me?"

He smirked at her cute expression, brushing his fingers across her face to move the piece of hair covering it.

"Never princess"

She smiled at him, loving the sight of him looking so happy. They hadn't talked about what they were since yesterday morning – there just wasn't the time. She knew they needed to talk about it but seeing his face right now? It could wait.

She leant forward to press a short kiss to his lips, enough to satisfy her need to feel them against hers once more but leaving JJ in a state of wanting more. As she went to pull back, JJ cupped her head and brought their lips back together again. The feeling of relief was never going to fade as far as the two were concerned with being so close together.

A minute or so went by and Celeste reluctantly pulled back, running her finger along his jaw softly.

"As much as I'd love to continue this, I'd also love to have some pancakes right about now, wouldn't you J?"
