It was known to the pogues that JJ wandered off. He would often get distracted with almost anything that he laid his eyes on. However, since rumour travelled around that JJ came across his father, Luke you weren’t as mellow as the rest of the pogues.
“Do you think JJ is okay?” You blurted from now where. Sarah was telling some crazy Kook stories and they all turned to face you.
“Why wouldn’t he be?” Pope asked, settling his hand over your shoulder.
“He ran into Luke… I’m worried.”
“He’s fine.” Pope said. “It’s JJ.”
You didn’t believe Pope. Although Pope was the genius in the group, when it came to JJ he never had the slightest clue about his home life.
“I’m probably going to crash on the sofa.” You brushed Pope’s affection off your shoulder, and bid your goodbyes.
“He’ll be fine”. Kie gave you a weak smile and that gave you enough to know that JJ wasn’t fine.
You didn’t know how long you were asleep for but the sounds of thunder, shakes and harsh gale that crashed onto your skin awoken you. You frantically got up from the sofa, shuffling around to find the light to only stubble on something that connected you to the floor.
“Holy Fuck, Y/N. Are you okay?” JJ mumbled, holding in a laugh as he helped you up.
“About three hours ago.” JJ said. “Are you okay?”
“No. I’m not okay, JJ.” You hissed and JJ inverted his brows. “Why didn’t you wake me up? You were supposed to be home ages ago.”
“I lost track of time, wave. I’m sorry.” JJ was taken back by the outburst. He didn’t really understand why it got under your skin, you guys weren’t even dating for that long. “Are you sure you are okay?”
“I’m fine. I was just worried…” You sniffled, hiding your face so JJ couldn’t see you. JJ signed, pulling you into his lap and gently placed your hand on his face.
“I’m all good, baby. I’m not even hurt.” JJ whispered, pressing light kisses to your hair.
“Don’t ever leave again. I wasn’t sure if you were alive.” You whispered, tracing your index finger on the bridge of his nose.
“I’ll always survive, baby. I’m not that easy to get rid of.” JJ chuckled to make the situation a little lighter.
“I’m sorry for over reacting.” You sniffled.
“Don’t be. It’s nice to have someone worry about you. It makes me feel like my life sorta matters.”
“You’ll always matter.” You said. “You matter to me.”
“I know, and I’m grateful for you.” JJ smiled and slowly gave you a tender kiss. “Get some sleep.”
“Hey…now.. i’m not going anywhere.” JJ promised. “I’m going to stay here right here.”
That was all you needed to hear before you fell back into your slumber. JJ was safe, and that’s all that mattered.
