    ”You kiss me in your car, and it feels like the start of a movie I’ve seen before.”


    JJ and you were the absolute sun and moon duo; he was such a sunshine, his smile lighting up the room every single time, while you were more reserved, introverted, sometimes almost antisocial. You two were like a golden retriever and a black cat. But even though you were polar opposites, you somehow still understood each other perfectly. He was also very affectionate and caring towards you, sometimes even possessive. Of course, he was your childhood best friend, so it was totally normal… right? There was no way that JJ could be wanting more than friendship. One day, you and the other pogues decided to take a little trip to the beach. You knew how excited JJ was; he loved surfing. It was his whole life. As he catched waves effortlessly, you just sat quietly in the shadow of a tree. You loved watching him while he was all joyous and happy. Soon, the sun started setting, and the group decided to head home. As John B and JJ were putting the surfboards inside the Twinkie, you stood beside JJ, admiring him with a smile. “What?” He looked at you, grinning. “Nothing, I just thought how much you seemed to enjoy surfing today.” JJ shrugged, and shut the car’s door. “Well, who wouldn’t enjoy a good surfing?” “True.” You said as you got inside the passenger seat, while he opened the door to the driver’s side. About an hour later, JJ dropped everyone off. Now it was only you two left in the car. You two came back to the beach, alone, in the Twinkie. “You know, we should talk.” JJ spoke quietly. “You might have noticed how I’ve been way touchier than usual. I just can’t help it…” He took a deep breath. “Now hear me out, please. I like you… No, scratch that. I love you. His blue eyes met yours, filled with honesty and love. “Do you love me too?” He asked, but couldn’t finish, as you cupped his cheeks gently and kissed him like it was your last kiss ever.
