Chasing Blue

-TWENTY EIGHT-

-JJ's P.O.V-
His head began throbbing as soon he peeled his eyes open. He looked down at the pink sheets and panicked. This isn't my room, he thought as he sat up in the bed. He felt something touching his leg. Gingerly, he crept his hand down under the covers and grabbed the... Foot? His head snapped to his side where Blue led on his stomach.

His hair was sticking up and he had slight drool coming out of the corner of his mouth. JJ felt kind of bad for who ever that pillow belonged to. He rubbed his eyes and shook Blue violently. "Wake up," he hissed at the sleeping boy who only stirred slightly. JJ groaned and reached under Blue's chest and pinched his nipple.

Blue's eyes shot open and he jolted upright from the bed. "What the fuck?" He spat, slapping JJ on the arm. JJ didn't flinch, his head was hurting more. He groaned and bought his hand up to his forehead.

"Awe, does your head hurt?" Blue asked, his voice full of sympathy. JJ nodded and squeezed his eyes shut. "Well you should have thought about that before you got hammered," Blue said as he got out of the bed and grabbed his phone. JJ scowled at him. "It's quarter past one in the morning," Blue laughed. JJ personably didn't see what was so funny about the situation. "My mums going to kill me."

JJ nodded. "Should have thought about that before sleeping in someone else's bed then," JJ retorted, mocking Blue.

"I only stayed because you a asked me to," Blue said, folding his arms across his chest.

JJ smiled a little at the cute gesture. "Really?"

Blue laughed. "No, Eddie was pre-occupied so I had no where else to go."

JJ rolled his eyes and threw the covers off of his body. "We should get home," he said, wincing at his headache but trying his best to ignore it.

Blue had an idea. "Do you want to stay round mine? You can pretend to be drunk and I'll act like I'm helping you and then she won't be as mad when I come home late?" He asked. JJ was slightly offended that Blue only wanted him over as a way out of getting a scolding from his mum, but he took the offer nonetheless, he couldn't say he was too excited about spending another night at Brian's. He loved Brian but the boy snored so loud it rocked the bed.

The boys made their way back downstairs. The party was still going, people were still going at it on the dance floor. JJ blushed as he remembered the incident that occurred between Blue and himself. He glanced at Blue who was also beet red. "That was fun?" JJ laughed, trying to hide his embarrassment with humour.

Blue nodded, not meeting his eye. "Yeah, you were... Different?" he snickered.

"Yeah, surprised myself a little, the alcohol must have taken over," He giggled.

Blue stopped and then turned to JJ. "Where's Eddie and Brian?" He asked, his face scrunched up in confusion.

A wave of realisation and dread washed over JJ. "Don't tell me they left," he muttered before barging out of the front door. His eyes were met with an empty car space where Brian had previously parked. He sucked in a large breath, trying not to let the anger out.

Blue just laughed. "Welp, looks like we got quite a walk ahead of us."

JJ nodded and followed Blue out of the front gate. "I can't believe this," JJ said rubbing his sore eyes.

"Could be worse, you could be walking home alone," Blue shrugged.

JJ scoffed. "Are you saying I should be grateful for your presence?" He asked, smiling down at the Blue haired boy. His hair was shining like it was the night they met.

Blue nodded. "Indeed."

JJ wanted to tell him how he actually did feel grateful for Blue being here but he held it back, he mustn't hurt his pride. They walked in silence for a while before JJ felt something grab his hand. He looked down and saw that Blue had entwined their fingers together. His eyes flickered over to Blue who was blushing, even in the dark it was noticeable.
