Beautiful hate (Joji x Reader Insert)

Chapter 26- Joji POV

As (y/n) walked into the stark hotel lobby, Ian waited for the door to close behind her.
"Got a little possessive, eh bud?"
         I felt the pink rise to my cheeks as I nervously ran a hand through my hair,
          "Nah man, just helping out a friend is all, I know she didn't want that guys hands all on her! Especially after that 'respecting women' bit"
          Ian's shit eating grin never left his face. I wanted to crawl under a chair to escape his eyes. He studied my reddened cheeks,
          "You've got it bad my guy, if you don't make a move soon, you just might explode!" He cackled like a witch.
          "I know, I might miss an opportunity for something more between the two of us if I don't convince her that I don't hate her".
          "I think you should just flat out say it, it may not be the smoothest way but it'd be getting straight to the point and it'd take a huge weight off your shoulders."
          Ian's words hung in the air, I pondered them for a moment before I called out
          "Ian you're a fucking dumbass".

          We soon made our way back into our room in an almost awkward silence. I could tell Ian was holding his tongue and when we arrived in the room he proved to be doing a poor job since as soon as the door shut behind him he was back on my case.
"Dude, it's simple just ask her out"
"You realize that's literally how nothing works, like ever right? You realize that's the dumbest thing I've heard all day?"
"Don't worry dude, I'm a people person and the people want you two to get together, so god damn it I'm going to please the people!"

As Ian shouted his self righteous line, the door swung open to reveal Max and Chad.
Instantly I could feel the excitement bubble deep inside my chest, Ian and I both got up to give them the hugs dudes only give each other when they live hundreds of miles apart. Any other types of hugs are declared gay, therefore these bro hugs were special.
"Man it's been forever!" I called to the pair. As they both set up their suitcases they explained their trips over and how it felt like they were on a plane for a thousand years. The jet lag could be heard seeping from their voices as they both told tales of the turbulence, and the obnoxious flight attendants.
"Yeah, but enough about us, what were you two yelling about when we came in?" Max looked directly at me. I wanted to brush it off like it was nothing but that cancer cunt spoke before I could deny anything.
"Trying to get Joji to fuck (y/n)".
"He hates her?"
"He's just not admitting that he has a massive crush on her"
"Fair enough, I think-"
"Can you guys shut the fuck up, yeah she's really fun and hot, and hilarious, and the complete package, but she's not into me like that! Especially after all the shit I've put her through!"
"Okay first off you dumb cunt, shut the fuck up, second, I'm with the shippers I think you two would be power couple of the internet"
Chad finished, looking smug at the other two.
"agreed"
"Agreed!"
"Disagreed! Guys you need to get off my case"
They all exchanged glances as if they had been communicating telepathically. Max lazily stood up and Ian grabbed his camera, Chad followed close behind and called back,
"Fine we'll get off your case and onto hers."
