"Sooo" John B trailed on. "What's it gonna be like when we get back?" He asked.
"With what?" You asked looking at him.
"Like...you know" he said pointing from him to you.
"Like us?" You asked. "Yeah"
"Nothing changes" you said in a questionable tone. "I guess, right?"
"I'll go back to the bubble" you said looking down at the cup you were holding.
"Like topper bubble?" He asked not taking his eyes from you.
"Yeah" you nodded.
"And I guess you'll go back to being a futurtive" you said.
"Yeahh" he agreed very unconvincingly with a nod
You and John B were on your way back from your adventure in the archives, you ran into him after his trouble with DCS and he begged you to get him into the archives, so you did.
It was fun, the most fun either of you have had in a while. After you got with topper it was almost as if you felt claustrophobic; you didn't hang out with the people you used to and you cut yourself off from basically everybody that lived in outerbanks who had a heart beat. Topper hated it when you hung out with boys, or stuck up for the pogues. You were almost trapped and felt controlled by him. You wanted out of the 'bubble wrap' he had trapped you in.
John B caved in and told you about the mission he was on, to find the 400 million that had supposedly went down with the royal merchant. You thought he was kidding until you stood laughing at him in the library and he looked at you with the bluntest expression ever, he needed your help, so you helped him. He had found all the information he was looking for although he had no clue where you guys were.
You didn't know who the poor boy was, you just thought of him as a pogue but it turns out he was one of a kind, he was different to what you expected. Yeah you might've got to dress eachother in stupid outfits so you didn't look like you crawled out of a swamp going into the archived, but you guys bonded and you got along more than you expected. And now you know him as John B, he kid who is totally ADD and is on a treasure hunt.
Acting like there wasn't something tgere would've been stupid, dumb almost. You wanted something with him. You had dropped hints the whole time that you didn't think he had caught onto but he eventually did, he didn't know how to make a move so you eventually gave up and had too.
"So" you said stepping off of the boat and back onto the island.
"Yes?" he asked intrigued.
"Now we have returned to the motherland we must revert to our real identity. So If you see me on the street" you said but he interrupted you.
"Yes I am a true professional" he said in a terrible accent.
"It's been a pleasure working with you Conrad" you smiled holding your hand out.
"The pleasures mine" he said gladly shaking your hand.
You smiled before walking away from him swiftly, avoiding workers and other people who were getting off of the boat.
"Wait wait wait" you heard him call. You spun around on your heel to face him. "Uh- really?" He asked.
"That's it? You're just gonna walk away like none of this ever happened?" He called through the rain.
"That's what professionals do right?" You asked confused.
"Y/n i just had the best day of my life" he laughed
"John B you're gonna blow our cover"
"Look I don't care about my cover, y/n. I don't care if my friends find out or your boyfriend with his frosty tips. Look yesterday I didn't even know who you were and today I'm like y/n l/n" he called.
"And honestly in my limited experience thats rare. That's like eclipse rare, like a blind person seeing colour for the first time rare, or like big foot evidence or the northern lights. Look I can't pretend like this isn't real. Like this didn't happen look in sorry" he trailed on as you walked closer to him.
"Shut up" you said grabbing his cheeks softly and bringing his lips down to meet yours. You kissed him softly, him kissing back almost immediately.
Pulling away you looked at eachother. "I can't pretend either." You breathed out.
You leant in again, kissing him. Your arms wrapped around his neck and his hands placed in your hips as your lips moved in sync.
"Get a room" you heard one of the crew members call but you quickly flipped him off.
From that day on you guys didn't pretend. Your boyfriend found out and soon after you broke up with him. John B's frinds weren't the happiest when they found out but they eventually accepted you.
You couldn't help it bit you guys fell in love. Love just walked in, as John B would say.
You guys fell in love and lived happily ever after.
