can't be friends

safety net - 5

(Long chapter)
JJ's POV
10 am (next morning)

Emily and I spent all of last night making out in some random field. We didn't get back to our dorm until almost midnight. Today's Sunday and we don't have class so that leaves us plenty of time to ourselves.

I roll over in my bed to see her sleeping peacefully in her bed and I decided for go bother her. I get up and lay next to her quietly on my side and I scream in her ear "WAKE UP."

She groans as she slowly wakes and I place a kiss on her cheek. "Sleepy head." I smile. She wraps her arm around me and pulls me closer to her so we're cuddling.

"Your beds too far." She groans. "No yours Is." I stick my tongue out at her. She smiles at me and I lean in for a soft kiss.

"So what are we? Friends who kiss sometimes." I laugh. "We take it one step at a time pretty girl, but lemme make one thing clear I eventually want you to be something much more than my friend." She says and my face turns bright red.

I hurry my head into her side to hide my blushing and she laughs. "You're so cute." She giggles. "You make me nervous." I say.

"Hey do you have practice today?" Emily asks. "Nope." "Perfect so we get to spend the day together." "That sounds much better than getting yelled at by my coach for 3 hours straight." "I'm sorry." She says. "She should be sorry." I say.

Em strokes my hair behind my ear and I swear I almost folded. I move my body to the other side of her, closer to the wall and drape my leg over her body. "Nap time." I say as she kisses my forehead.

"Jayje." Emily wakes me up. "Hm." "The group chat wants to know if we want to go to an arcade tonight." "Mhm." I mumble.

"You're so cuddly It's so cute." She says. "Hm." I readjusted myself so I was laying basically on top of her with my arms wrapped around her neck and my face was rested in the crook of her neck.

I press a kiss on her jawline as sleep takes over me once again.

5 hours later

"JJ I think you have to start getting ready now." Emily wakes me up. "What time is it?" I mumble. "6." "I slept through the whole day?" I shoot up. "Yeah." She chuckles. "Why didn't you wake me?" "You looked so peaceful, I took a few naps in between too so it's okay."

"Emily have you gotten up?" I ask. "No i didn't want to wake you." "Oh my gosh I'm Sorry." I move over. "No it's okay really. I loved every single second of it." She kisses me.

I lean back in for another kiss and this one lasts longer, and longer, and longer. "The arcade." I say. "Fuck the arcade." She pull me close by my waist and I laugh.

"We have to get ready." I mumble. "Ugh fine."

"Are we telling our friends about whatever this is?" Emily asks. "Can we wait a little bit? I don't want everybody in our business just yet." "Of course." She changes into a red top and black jeans.

"I love it when you wear red." I say. "I'll wear red more often then." She smirks.

I throw on black sweat shorts and a purple crop top and call it a day, not caring too much about my outfit.

"Who's driving?" I ask. "Dave."

We walk outside to Dave blaring the horn and we hop in, being the last of the friend group to get picked up... we had to lap up which was way less awkward this time.

"Can we get food first I'm starving." I say. "Me too." Emily says. "Yeah there's a restaurant at the arcade." Hotch says.

"Good." I sigh.
