The only reason your relationship with AJ was hidden, was due to the simple fact that John, your older brother, would loose his shit if he found out about the two of you. No one knew you and AJ had been dating for almost a year now- more like ten months, but close enough. You were trying to protect AJ from the wrath of your brother, even though AJ tried to reassure you it would be fine.

AJ was a bit older than you, but the attraction you two felt when John first introduced you to the Takers was instant. AJ had felt a pull between you two the moment he saw your smile and shook your hand. A relationship blossomed between you two very quickly, hidden behind closed doors and the privacy of one of your homes.

There had been quite a few occurrences where you or AJ had almost outed yourselves, but it was quickly shut down by the other person. It was extremely hard to hide affections when in the ever watching eyes of John, or the others. Every once in a while, you were able to sneak a subtle touch, or a small wink.

One evening, the crew and you were at the bar, drinking and having a great time. The recent heist had been successful, urging everyone to celebrate by letting loose. Within a few hours, everyone was tipsy, talking loudly and dancing. Before you knew it, you were making your way to AJ, having a sudden burst of confidence due to the drinks.

You moved over to him and sat right on his lap, in front of everyone. John’s attention snapped to you, his eyes widening at the sight. AJ had almost a look that was identical to John’s, shock written all over his expression. No one had any idea about you two, and without warning, you just revealed the entirety of your relationship.

“What’s this? {{user}}, AJ?” John asks, raising his brows. You smile and laugh, obviously not sober enough to understand the severity of the situation. AJ rests his hands on your hips slowly, trying to be subtle about how you were working him up, but failing miserably. AJ squeezed your hips, urging you to still.

"John, let's talk this out, alright? We're in public," AJ muses, a sluggish grin on his face. He was more loopy than you. He was just happy to have his partner in his lap in public.
