Premise: It's the next party they throw, after the last chapter. Lydia and JJ are desperate to avoid a repeat of last time. (a/n p.s. All the one shots won't be parties, I promise but this was the one shot that convinced me to write them so hang in there. Also they won't all be based off of Conan Grey songs or songs in general lol)
Song: Heather by Conan Grey
Winter in the Outer Banks wasn't really your typical winter. There was maybe one snow 'storm' a year, and even then it was maybe an inch of snow. For the most part, the temperature stayed around 60 or higher so their way of life didn't change much from season to season
The pogues were back at the boneyard for a kegger and Lydia decided that she wasn't going to limit herself. She was tired of always watching out for the group and after everything that happened after the last kegger, she wanted to avoid being the one sober enough to take care of drunk JJ
She shivered slightly as she danced with some random touron, and to the outside eye, it looked like all she cared about was the beer in her hand and the guy in front of her. But Lydia was watching JJ from across the beach, flirt with a blonde touron. She gulped the rest of her beer, asking her companion if he needed a refill before skipping away towards the keg.
"Refill, please" Lydia smiled at John B
"You sure?" John B asked, knowing she typically stopped after two drinks
"Absolutely" Lydia laughed, quickly glancing towards JJ again
"What's going on with you two?" John B noticed her smile falter slightly
"Nothing that isn't normally going on. Now if you'll excuse me, Alan- no Alex is waiting" Lydia quickly grabbed the beers and walked away
Coincidentally, she almost bumped into the blonde that JJ was flirting with, "Heather, nice to see you" Lydia forced a smile on her face, not knowing JJ was watching them talk
"Yeah, thanks for the invite. Me and JJ are really hitting it off" Heather replied, before continuing on her hunt for more beer
As Lydia kept walking, she locked eyes with JJ. It was then that she realized, he wasn't looking at her-- no, he was watching Heather's ass jiggle as she walked away
Only if you knew, how much I liked you, but I watch your eyes as she walks by
Lydia tried to ignore the breaking of her heart as she forced a smile, finally finding Alex
"You think you can show me a good time tonight?" Lydia whispered into Alex's ear
He swiftly turned to press their lips together, the kiss quickly becoming heated. Lydia couldn't help but notice she didn't feel the same sparks she did when JJ kissed her. They pulled away, gasping slightly, Lydia gulped down her drink. As she looked over Alex's shoulder, she saw Heather wearing JJ's sweater
You gave her your sweater, it's just polyester, but you like her better, I wish I were Heather
That pissed Lydia off even more because she had actually just given that sweater back to JJ. One night on the boat, it was cold and he had given it to her. A couple weeks ago, and after their kiss, he asked for it back. Lydia obliged, ignoring the way it stung, but she didn't think he'd just give it to someone else.
"I think we should get out of here" Lydia said to Alex, tearing her eyes off the two blondes
"I like the sound of that" Alex grinned, pulling her towards the parked cars
"Hey, JB. Can I get one for the road" Lydia paused at the keg
"You're leaving? What happened to the drink I gave you 5 minutes ago?" John B asked concerned, Lydia never left parties with people she hadn't known longer than that night
"Um, I drank it?" Lydia laughed, "Alex and I are gonna head back to his place"
"Lydia-" John B began, only to get cut off
"John B, just give me the drink" Lydia replied, starting to get angry
"No, Lydia. I don't know what's going on but this isn't a good idea" John B held his ground
"Babe, I have some back at my place" Alex tried to keep walking but Lydia stayed put
"She's not leaving with you so beat it" John B replied, pulling Lydia towards him
"You don't get to make that call John B" Lydia muttered, ripping her arm out of his grasp
"Let's see what everyone else thinks, then" John B called over the rest of the pogues
"This is ridiculous, I'm leaving" Lydia sighed
"Hey, what's going on?" Kie asked, as the three other pogues arrived simultaneously
"Lydia wants to leave with Mr. Touron over there" John B pointed, crossing his arms
"Yeah, nice try Lydia" JJ spoke up
"You are the last person that should be talking JJ" Lydia growled
"What's that supposed to mean?" JJ asked, getting defensive
"We all know you're bringing Heather back tonight" Lydia snapped back, the group staring wide eyed. Lydia hadn't ever had an issue with JJ sleeping around before
"And?" JJ continued
"So I'm having my own night out, so all of you back the hell off" Lydia said, pushing past Pope and Kie, returning to Alex
JJ ran a hand over his face, realizing what he had done and hoped that despite Lydia being pissed off, that she wouldn't do anything she regretted
Boy was he wrong.....
a/n
Yeah, so a little bit of Lydia and JJ's first 'romantic' interactions
Idk if I'll write another one shot today (chances are, probably)
But let me know what you think!
