john b grabbed some drinks and jj lead me to the bathroom.

"come on y/n we need to clean you up" he grabbed my hips and lifted me on the counter. he grabbed some first aid supplies from the cabinets and started putting stuff on my face.

"you're really good at this," i spoke before i could even realize what i was saying.
"yeah i have to be," he replied. "look.. y/n about the other day. i'm sorry. i shouldn't have pushed you away like that. you're my best friend and i just don't want to hurt you. i realize i need you more now then ever. i want you." he was inches away from my face.

"i- um- it's okay," i could feel my heart rate speed up.
he placed his hand on my face and slowly stoked my cheek with his thumb.

"you don't have to say anything y/n. but," he paused

"i love you," he said quietly, almost in a whisper. "you don't have to respond but-"

"i love you too," i smiled.

he wrapped his other arm around my waist and pulled me too him. he leaned down and gently placed his lips on mine.
he pulled away "let's go get a beer." i laughed and hopped down from the counter.
