Joeck one shots 💞

This cant happen...

• Jack's pov •

It was like any day. I woke up, checked my phone, ate and got ready. For some reason, my phone started buzzing violently in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw that my own brother was spamming the Buttercream group chat.

Conor - GUYSSSSSSSS
Conor - guys! U neeeeeeed to reply!
Conor - somebody please be alive!
Conor - fuck it, I'll just say it now...
Conor - Right - tonight I'm finishing off my last single for my mini album and I want all u lot to come over and celebrate! It's a pretty big deal for me and I want to remember tonight until I wake up w amnesia, ok?

I shook my head, no way was he gathering us all just to celebrate him finishing a song. There had to be more to this. So I quickly texted him back.

Me - of course I'll be there but r u sure it's just a wrapping up party?
Conor - ye, it's just that - nout else

I was still suspicious but I decided to play along with it.

The rest of the day was normal, just freshening up my DJ skills and editing my vlog.
It got to about 5:30 and Conor called me.

C - hey bruh! Why aren't u here???
J - shit, erm. I'll be round in a min. Just making my hair look good?
C - you forgot didn't you?
J - no of course not! I'm just lazy and not dressed yet. See you soon Con!
C - bye randy

In all honesty, I had forgotten about it but I couldn't let my big brother know that!
I quickly ran my hand through my hair, made sure I had my keys and phone then I headed off to Conor's apartment.

I got there feeling good but as the night carried on, I began to crumble and show my deepest feelings. Feelings I never knew I had.

• Joe's pov •

I arrived at Conor's 'wrap up party' (as he was calling it) and knocked on his door. The man himself opened it and welcomed me in with a bottle of beer and some snacks. Of course Conor had snacks.
"So then Joe, you wanna listen to my track? No one else has heard it except me and I want an opinion before I hand it to my label." He sat me down on his sofa and began playing his song on the speakers. It was really good and I was proud of him. After it finished, I stood up and clapped. Conor laughed and bowed, making his hat fall off. He picked it up and laughed again, this time his doorbell went off.

Everyone started pouring in with drinks, snacks and gifts for Conor but one thing was missing. I couldn't hear that laugh that sparked something inside, I couldn't see them blonde streaks that I loved so much. Jack wasn't there and it was silent without him.
I tapped Mikey on the shoulder.
"Do you know where Jack is?" I whispered, he shrugged his shoulders and apologised.
"Sorry mate, he'll Turn up soon though. You know Jack, always late for everything."
I shook my head, not understanding why I was so worried. Of course he would be late! He's Jack Maynard, the king of lateness!

As soon as I'd sat down again, there was a very loud knock at the door, making us all jump. Conor opened it and in came Jack, looking rather tired and worn down. He hugged everyone, said hi, grabbed a drink and sat down opposite me. He winked and started a conversation with his brother about music or something.

The night went on, a lot of drinks were chugged and a lot of jokes were told. Oli got a bit concerned and told us to stop drinking when Mikey fell flat on his face whilst walking to the sofa. Of course, Oli made sure to stick to this rule but I wasn't having it. We were here to celebrate, not sit there in silence! So I jumped up and said I was off to the toilet when in reality, I was off to the kitchen for a drink.

I took one step through the kitchen door when I heard a voice.
"Well well Well Joe, sneaking around to have a drink are we?" The voice came from a smirking blonde haired boy in the back corner. I shrugged and took a bottle. It immediately got snatched out of my hand and chugged by Jack, who was peering over my shoulder. I whispered a complaint but all I got back was a quiet giggle. I reached for another bottle but Jack's hand planted on top of mine.
"We won't have rule breakers in this house." He said, looking into my eyes. He leaned closer and whispered in my ear.
"Rule breakers will be punished." And with that he latched his lips onto mine.

It took me by surprise but after the shook came passion. It felt weird to kiss a boy but Jack was different, it was almost natural. What was I thinking? Shit, I'm not gay or bi? Why was I doing this? The kiss was still going, both of us gasping for air, so I pulled away. This was a mistake as I was presented with soppy baby blue eyes and pouted lips. I shook my head, making any memories of what just happened disappear.
"This cant happen, Jack." I walked away, leaving the boy stood there lost for words.

I joined the group again, sitting down in the place I left. Everyone was in their own conversations to notice how long I was or how red my lips were. I just sat there staring at the coffee table in front of me, trying to make sense of everything. Why did Jack do that? Was he drunk or just in love with me? But it was so good! Oh god, what was happening to me?! No matter what it was though, it couldn't happen again - never.

Jack walked in and winked at me, he sat down at my side and asked if I was ok.
"Of course I'm not! Just, you know, don't wanna show my feelings in front of the boys. But you've got some explaining to do!" I shuffled closer to the edge of the sofa, further away from jack. He just shrugged, took a sip of his 'water' (it was actually vodka but nobody had realised) and started talking to Caspar.

"Hey Joe, you've been very quiet. Are you ok?" Oli asked, I lied and nodded. No one could find out about this.
Suddenly Conor stood up and began to speak.
"Thank you so much for coming boys, it's good to know that you support me. Tonight has been great! But all good things sadly come to an end, I'm getting proper tired and I'm off to bed now. If any of you wanna stay over, I've got the spare room, these sofas and an air bed for you to sleep on. I hope you've had a good time and I'll see you in the morning. Night!" Conor smiled and headed off to his room, leaving us to decided who was sleeping where.

"Well then, guessing we're all staying here?" Josh said, we all nodded in return.
"Right, we should split the sleeping places fairly, okay? Grab some paper, a pen and a bowl. Then we can decide."
Oli came back a couple minutes later with a bowl full of pieces of paper. We all grabbed one each and held it in our fists.
"Okay now, we're gonna open em one by one to see where you're all sleeping! Fun right!?" Was it really that fun though, was finding out where you were going to sleep for the night fun? I don't think so but I played along anyway by cheering every time someone opened their paper. We went round in a circle, these were the sleeping arrangements for the night :
Caspar - sofa #1
Josh - sofa # 2
Mikey - air bed
Jack - spare room
Oli - air bed
I opened mine knowing exactly what I'd gotten, of course it was the spare room. And of course I was sharing with Jack.

We all said our good nights and me and Jack went off into the spare room. It felt really awkward to be in such a small space with the person who just kissed me unexpectedly. But I couldn't let my awkwardness get in the way of my sleeping, so I took of my top and jeans and clambered into the double bed. Jack jumped in next to me, lining his face up with mine.
"So then, should I explain now or tomorrow?" He asked.
"Tomorrow, I'm too tired for a talk now. Just shut up and stay away." I may of been rude but I was tired okay!Everyone gets moody when they want to sleep. Jack turned around and curled up and I feel asleep within an instant.

I woke up with a massive headache and feeling very warm. It was a comfortable warmth which I could cope with but my headache was banging on inside me. I had to grab something for it soon or it would be the death of me!
I turned onto my back to find blonde hair tickling my chin, Jack's head nestled into the crease of my neck and his arms wrapped loosely around my waist. I looked down at the boy next to me, a small smile plastered onto his face. He looked truly happy and comfortable (and I had to admit, I was quite comfortable as well) but I had to get up sooner or later. So I sat up, pealing Jack's arms away from me and slowly got up.

I hadn't even reached the door when I heard a sad sleepy voice whisper
"Please don't go..."
