JJ Maybank - Late night visit

It's currently 10 pm and I just finished with my shower. I changed into my nice silky PJs and jumped into my bed. I grab the remote to turn on The Powerpuff Girls for a few minutes.

Two hours later...

I'm awoken from my slumber when I hear a dirt bike getting closer to my house. That could only be one person...JJ. No one comes this late at night to the Kook side of town on a loud dirt bike. This has been a recurring thing for the past two months. JJ would sneak into my room whenever he fought with his dad or got into a drunk fight. I have started to wonder if he felt different about our friendship, but I don't mind because I just want him to be safe and happy.

Pretty soon, I hear JJ knocking at my window with some rocks. I huff and get up to open it. He motions for me to throw down the ladder and I do. He climbs the rope ladder and jumps into the room. It's too dark to see so I turn on my bedside lamp. I rub my eyes and when I open them, I see my best friend covered in bruises. He has a black eye, blood on his lip and knuckles, and his hair is a mess.

Y/n: "What the hell happened JJ???" I say, with my mouth gaping open. I reach my hand to his face but he stops me.

JJ: "Rafe is what happened! Fuck! I'm tired of his arrogant ass thinking he's better than me. He- he..." He manically paces the room waving his hands around while the anger pours off of him. He continues to rant until he stutters and grabs his hair as if he wants to pull it out. That's when he begins to break down into tears.

Y/n: "Aww...JJ. It's - It's going to be okay." I slowly walk up to him and grab his hand as I walk him to sit on my bed. As I pull away, he grabs me back and puts his head on my stomach. I stand there shocked for a few seconds but then put my hands in his hair to comfort him. I shush him until he calms down. When he regains his composure, he begins to speak.

JJ: "He was talking bad about you ya know. He said you were a cheap skank that used him. I couldn't let him say that about you." He says as he moves his head to look up at me.

I sigh and sit down next to him.

Y/N: "Yeah I know he's an ass, but I don't want you getting in trouble because of me. But thanks for defending me." I say with a smile and jokingly hit him with my shoulder against his. He does the same as he giggles and puts his arm around me.

Y/N: "Let's get ya cleaned up." I stand up and he grabs my hand as we walk to the bathroom. It's in my bedroom so we don't have to worry about my parents. JJ sits on the toilet top as I grab my emergency kit saved for him. I wash off his knuckles and bloody face with a towel. After, I grab some gauze to wrap his knuckles. I can feel him watching me so I look back up at him as I stand between his legs.

Y/N: "What?" I say with an awkward look on my face. He's never looked at me like this before.

JJ: "Nothing." He says as he just admires me.

I go back to wrapping his knuckles. When I'm done I grab a cold water bottle from my mini fridge to place on his eye. He laughs and shakes his head, but puts it on his face. I clean up all the materials in the bathroom and he stands up. He comes behind me wraps his arms around my shoulders and hugs me. I just smile and hold onto his hands. After, I turn and walk back to my bed as he still holds on to me. He unwraps himself from me, places the water bottle on the nightstand, and takes off his shirt, leaving him in just his cargo shorts after his shoes are off. I turn off the light and jump into the bed. When he's done, he climbs in and cuddles me. His head is in my neck and his arms are around my waist. I hold onto him as I place a kiss on his forehead and he does the same to me.

Y/N: "Goodnight JJ."

JJ: "Goodnight Y/N."

Even if we were "just friends" I knew that I could sleep comfortably knowing JJ was safe and in my arms.
