Louis wishes he wasn't angry at JJ but he was. God he was so angry at that boy for holding a gun. He knew it wasn't right for him to be angry, especially when he hasn't opened up about why a gun bothered him, but fuck it he was pissed. He had a right to he pissed, even if no one understood. So it was no unknown knowledge that the drive back from the motel was awkward.
Louis wouldn't even look at JJ, he had his full attention on his brother who happened to be shaking in fear from JJ and the gun.
That also pissed Louis off. The fact that a boy he just met but cared for scared his only family left. That didn't sit right with him, so he made it his mission to distance him and his brother as far away from JJ as possible.
Louis looks at JJ with a glare when he sees him stand, JJ seems to get the message as he sits back down after putting his arms up in surrender. He was about to say something but before he can Leo gains his attention.
"Pouvons-nous rentrer à la maison? je veux aller a la maison? S'il vous plaît..." Leo whispers out, hands still shaking as he holds onto his brothers arm.
("Can we go home? I want to go home. Please...")
Louis nods his head and looks out towards the marsh to see the dock close by. He lets out a sigh of relief and nods his head to his brother.
"Ouais. nous rentrerons à la maison"
("Yeah. We'll go home.")
When the HMS Pogue makes it to the dock Pope ties the boat off. While the pogues are distracted with that Louis helps Leo out of the boat, before getting out himself. Louis guides Leo through the crowd, he almost reaches the ending of the dock where it meets land, but is stopped by a grip on his elbow.
"Mikey? Where are you going?" JJ asks, holding Louis elbow.
"Home." Louis anwsers.
"But what about the-"
"-No JJ. Leo and I are going home. We haven't checked up on the Brooks. We also don't want to be anywhere near you!" Louis says, raising his voice and glaring up at the boy that towers over him.
"Mikey.. I don't- what did I do? Was I being too much of an ass? Look that's just my personality, I didn't mean-"
"-just shutup JJ! Shutup. We are leaving. Don't even think of contacting me. Come on Leo, let's go." Louis shouts at JJ before turning towards his brother and grabbing his arm to pull him.
"Mikey..." JJ whispers, ready to go after him but stopping himself. He messed up. He messed up and for a reason he doesn't know.
JJ was just starting to care for the boy, and he means really care for the boy, but then he does this. He ruins it. He ruins something he was enjoying without even knowing how. JJ was furious with himself, but he needed to respect Louis. He needed to, even if it killed him to be separated from the French boy.
