JaDine Oneshots & Drabbles

JaQuen (Futuristic)

James has been lying on their bed for about two hours now.

He just can't sleep. Not that he was trying, so many thoughts were filling his mind.

The root of all of this is one thing.

That thing he saw in the internet.

'JaQuen.'

He felt movement and he glanced besides him. His wife was just waking up.

"You're still up?" Nadine asked, sleepily. "What's the problem?" She asked.

James sighed. "It's just... it's really bothering me." He said.

Nadine yawned. "You're still worried about that?"

"Of course I am." James said, indignant. "You're not?" He asked her.

She shook her head groggily. "It's just the fans stirring up things. You know first hand how it is. Don't make a big deal out of it." She said, eyes straining to keep open as sleep try to take her once more.

"But there are pictures!" James said, annoyed that his wife was just shrugging the issue off.

"Well, what do you expect? Of course there are pictures." Nadine said, now closing her eyes.
.

James sighed and stood up. Nadine opened her eyes once more, now more awake.

"Where are you going?" She asked, though she had an idea where.

"Quen's. I need to talk to him." He said.

Nadine sighed as she watched her husband go. Shaking her head, she reached for her cellphone on the table and dialed a number.

It rang about five times before someone pick up.

"Hello?" Nadine heard her friend's hoarse voice.

"Hopie?" She called, equally sleepy.

"Nadz. What's up?" She asked.

"James is going over there. Just thought you'd like to be alerted." She said.

"Going where?" Liza asked, confused.

"There." Nadine clarified.

"Right now?" Liza asked.

"Right now. He just left. He saw JaQuen pictures on the internet earlier." Nadine explained.

She heard Liza groaned and she could only nod. "Kay, I'll wake Quen up. Thanks for the heads up." Liza said.

"And Liza..." Nadine called before she could hang up. "I think you better hide him. Just so we could be sure."

"Right." Liza said and she hung up.

Quen jumped from their sofa when someone started banging on their door. He knew it must be James. About fifteen minutes ago, his wife, Liza had woken him up and dragged him to the living room saying James was coming. He just let her, without asking anything because he was just so tired.

Now is the only time curiosity was able to penetrate his exhausted mind. Why is James banging their door at 2AM?

He opened their door and was surprised to see James Reid in his pajamas and room slippers.

"Jaye? What's up?" He asked, sleepily.

James had let himself in and sat on Quen's sofa. "I wanna talk." He said. Unlike Enrique, he was very much awake.

Quen yawned, trying to fight off sleep. He sat across James. "About what?" He asked, now more awake.

"'JaQuen.'" James said, looking very stern.

"What about 'JaQuen'?" Quen asked, very bewildered. What is James' problem? Is he maybe bothered by their fans shipping them or something? Why now? They've been dubbed 'JaQuen' since their Forevermore and OTWOL days. They weren't being shipped as lovers or something, anyway.

"I saw pictures of JaQuen today, holding hands." James deadpanned.

"We guested in ASAP last weekend. Maybe I just handed you something and they caught that on picture. What's wrong with it?" Quen tried to reason.

"It's not us 'JaQuen,' it's the new 'JaQuen'!" James exclaimed.

"Huh?"

"There are so many rumors. I told you there was a picture of JaQuen holding hands, then there was a rumor saying they saw JaQuen shopping together, in an amusement park, going to the movies together. There was even a fan claiming she saw JaQuen kissed!" James exploded. "Doesn't that bother you?!"

Now Quen was really awake. "What 'JaQuen'?"

"JaQuen." James said. "Jade Nicole Reid and Enrique Gil VII. That 'JaQuen.'" James said, glaring daggers at Quen.

And now everything clicked. And yeah, he is fairly sure those rumors had basis. He knew about it even before, he just didn't mention it to his friend because he might react violently. Like the way he is reacting now.

Quen looked sheepish, and this just made James realized that he was in on this.

"Where is your son?" He demanded.

"Ah..." And now he understood why his wife had dragged a half-asleep Quenquen out of the house, saying they needed to go to the convenience store or something.

"WHERE IS HE?!"

END.

ps. random name for JD daughter and followed thru Quen's family tradition for LQ son. VII since Quen has a big bro (yung IV) and baka may son din siya so yun yung Enrique VI. 😂
