Oh Honey,
I'd walk through fire for you,
Just let me adore you
Shaye Bennett.
That name brings up a lot of controversy in Outer Banks.
To the Pogues, she's family.
To the Kooks, she's a traitor.
To JJ, she's everything.
*I do not own Outer Banks...

~Why Don't You Flirt With Me Like That?~
"Pope we're not stealing the drone. We're borrowing it" John B said as they drove to the Salvage yard.
Pope sat in the back of the van with his arms crossed. "Humans are the only animal that can't tell fantasy from reality." He randomly huffed.
"Thanks Aristotle" Shaye laughed as she shot a ponytail at JJ's forehead. He let out a yelp and looked to Shaye as she burst out laughing.
"Albert Bernstein came up with it," Pope corrected, smiling at the two, "but it applies to the whole, treasure hunting thing."
John B was silent for a second. "Oh" He muttered.
"So which is it? Fantasy or reality?" Pope asked
"Why are you so weird Pope?" JJ responded
Kie shrugged, looking to Shaye. "It's fantasy but possible reality"
"Reality" John B said
Shaye always admired his willingness to believe in anything, but she was a realist. And this all seemed to good to be true. Every good thing came with a catch, she learned that at a young age.
"Virtual Reality" JJ muttered messing with his lighter.
They all just rolled their eyes at him laughing. Pope grabbed JJ's blunt and threw it. "Keep the signal clear"
Arriving at the salvage yard, Shaye hopped out of the van. This was gonna be fun. "Hey don't worry. You got this" John B said to her out the window.
"It's not me I'm worried about" She laughed pointing the boys arguing in the back and Kie telling them to shut up.
Shaye walked up to the fence where the Security guard was posted. "Hello?" she called to get his attention. "Excuse me?"
"Can I help you?" The man asked
Shaye twirled her hair around her finger. "Hi! Um, I actually have a flat tire. I was wondering if maybe you could help me out?" She asked putting on a big smile.
"Yeah" He said giving a flirty smile back.
"It's too easy" She laughed to herself as he went to get supplies.
Meanwhile, John B, JJ, Pope, and Kie were watching it all go down. JJ's jaw clenched the whole time watching the interaction. He knew it was fake, but either way he wanted to punch the security guard in the face.
"How's it going with Shaye" John B asked smirking
JJ's head shot over to John B. "U-h what do you mean?"
"He means" Kie interrupted "That you've liked her forever, yet you have done nothing about it"
He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks, "I don't know what you're talking about. Shaye and I are just friends" Even his own words sounded foreign to him
"Yeah it didn't look like it when you two were about to make out in the storage room at Heyward's" Pope muttered
Kie's and John B's heads shot to Pope, then to JJ. He remained silent and looked at anything but them. Kie smirked lightly, "I'm gonna have so much fun with this"
JJ just hit Pope on the head for telling the group. "I'm gonna be blackmailed forever now bro"
"It's just this back one right here" Shaye said as she lead him over to the boat. "I mean it must've been a slow leak or something" She said looking at the boys for them to run through the opened gate.
"Yeah I got this." The security guard said kneeling down in front of the tire.
She thanked him and watched as he started to fix it. "Got it?" She smiled down at him, trying not to sound nervous at how much time they were taking.
Barking suddenly sounded from the yard as the guard looked up to her in confusion. "You hear that?" He asked her
"Hear what?"
He stood up and looked around in confusion. "Sounds like Tebow's got something. "
Shaye tried to act normal and convince him otherwise. "It's probably just a raccoon, maybe. You know? Nothin' to worry about."
"Yeah" He smiled and knelt beside the tire again.
She walked to the other side of the boat trying to figure out how to stall him longer. Pulling a pin out of her hair, she began to use it to release air from the other tire. The hiss coming from it was definitely audible as she prayed he wouldn't hear it.
"What are you doing?" His voice sounded behind her.
"This one looks a little low too" Shaye said shakily running a hand through her hair in fear.
He immediately ran towards the yard as she yelled for him to wait. "Oh no" She muttered and ran to the front seat of her car and starting it. She had to leave or he would probably come back with the cops.
The one thing on her mind though was that JJ can't go to jail. He promised her he wouldn't.
Hours later they all met back up at the wreck and Shaye was a mess with worry. She got there about 10 minutes later than them and walked in to see them eating and listening to music. The smile on her face reached her eyes as she made eye contact with J.
He got up and wrapped her in a hug as everyone watched. "I though you guys were in jail" She whispered into his chest as she held him.
"Hey I always keep my promises." He whispered back.
Shaye just smiled at him as they sat down and continued to eat and have fun. Kie then motioned for John B to dance with her. He pointed to himself in question as she nodded. Shaye laughed as they danced together. She put her feet on JJ's lap and glanced over to Pope who was looking at Kie sadly.
Just like he knew all about her feelings for JJ, she knew all about his feelings for Kie. She felt bad for the boy, but he would find someone amazing, whether if it was Kie or someone else.
JJ then snapped her out of her thoughts as he threw a fry at her face. She slowly turned towards him as he smirked. She went to smack him on the head but he grabbed her legs perched on his lap, and pulled them.
Letting out a yelp, Shaye hit the floor with a thud. JJ let out a bellowing laugh as he clutched his stomach. She just sat there pouting and looking at him. After he finished wiping fake tears he went to help her up.
Shaye grabbed his hand and acted like she was getting up but instead she just pulled him down beside her. He landed on the floor as it was her turn to let out loud laughs. They both quieted down eventually and just listened to the music, laying on the floor.
"Why don't you flirt with me like that?" He asked smirking, referring to earlier.
Shaye just turned her heads toward him, "Who says I don't?" She smiled and winked at him.
JJ laughed and grabbed Shaye's hand, holding it tight. Seeing her smile the way she was at that moment filled his chest with so much warmth. He loved this Shaye so much. The carefree, happy, and wild one.
