Speak to Me (Joji x Reader)

Filthy

Just a warning: there's physical abuse near the end lol

Joji looked across the table, and we made eye contact. He looked vaguely upset. We were all shoving our faces full of food, too busy to talk to one another. H/N had finished eating first, and wiped his face with a napkin. 

"So Joji, what do you do? Like, where do you work around here?" he asked Joji, who had turned a slight shade of pink. 

"Well, I'm a YouTuber. I work other jobs as well but that's my biggest source of income." he replied. 

"What kind of videos?" I asked, shoveling more fries into my mouth. I looked up at him. He was staring at the table, playing with a straw wrapper. 

"I don't know how to explain them. It's comedy, it's not meant to be taken seriously..." he trailed off. His phone was ringing. "Do you guys mind if I take this? It'll be really quick." 

"Go ahead." H/N responded. Joji answered his phone, and I could just barely make out the other voice at the other end of the phone. It sounded like the guy I met when I went up to Joji's apartment. Joji was saying "mhm" and "yep" a lot. 

"Okay, I'm out right now but I'll be back in twenty." he hung up the phone, and looked at us. "Do you guys wanna see what I do for a living?" he was slightly smiling. 

"Absolutely!" I got up and threw away my trash, and they did the same. H/N and Joji talked on the walk back to the apartment building. I didn't pay attention to the conversation that was happening right next to me. I was looking at all the buildings and people we were passing. I hope Joji will show me around the city more, it seems like H/N really trusts and likes him. I really like being around Joji, it's not often I meet someone that I immediately connect with and can be myself around. I feel as though there's no judgement when I'm around him. I've known him for a day and a half now and he's already made me laugh until I've cried. He's already slept in my bed, too. 

We reached the apartment building and Joji gave me an uneasy smile. I shot him a confident smile back, and he blushed a little before clicking the fourth floor button. We followed Joji down the hall to his apartment, and it was already unlocked. He walked in first, and held the door open for us. The room looked rather normal compared to what I had first seen. 

"They're probably in the living room." he said, leading us there. "Hey." he waved at his friends. The guy with the nipple tattoo was sitting on a chair in the living room, shirtless; just like when I had first met him. The younger guy with medium length wavy hair was sprawled out on a small couch, and smiled when he saw Joji. 

"Who're they?" the younger Australian said, sitting up. 

"This is Y/N and H/N. Y/N just moved in downstairs." Joji smiled at me. "This is Max, and that fat fuck over there is Chad." Joji pointed at Chad. Chad responded to his introduction with a strange look and a grunt. 

"Oh yeah, I vaguely remember her coming up the last night to bitch at you." Max said, standing up and walking over to me. "It's nice to meet you, Y/N. Joji's been mentioning you nonstop. He was so nervous when he went down to apologize to you last night." he looked over at Joji, who was talking to Chad. "But, he drunk texted me all night about you. Until he passed out in your apartment at least." Max was smiling at me, and looked proudly over to Joji. 

"Really? I did notice him texting a few times last night." I smiled back to Max. H/N cleared his throat, I had totally forgotten he was still here. I looked up at him. "Don't worry, he was too drunk to go home so I let him stay. I felt bad." I said innocently. He looked like he was about to say something until we heard someone else come in the room.
