Because of you.

pairing Eddie Munson x reader;

warnings slight angst(?), jealous!Eddie, fluff ending;

He couldn't believe he was doing this. Eddie "The Freak" Munson going to a basketball game? He almost puked at the thought but he was willing to swallow his pride tonight. Because you were gonna be there as well.

He got it all planned out. Thanks to Robin's careless babbling, he discovered you were supposed to meet her at the game. That's when he figured Robin will (hopefully) be too busy doing her orchestra thing, which means he could have you all to himself.

The game was supposed to start at around 7pm, which meant he had to show up at least half an hour before to pick you up. But he kinda hasn't told you he was coming yet. I mean, how could he embarrass himself like that? However, he did need an excuse to hang out with you in private. If that's how you could describe spending time at a crowdy high school basketball game.

He slowly drove his van around your house for at least fifteen minutes before you finally came out. Roaming around made him feel like a creep but he convinced himself he had good intentions. "Y/N!", he shouted as he stopped his van, acting surprised to see you. You've never really seen him around, especially at this hour. "Munson? What're you doing here?", you asked with confusion as you approached his vehicle. He thought about just "accidentally" running into you at the game, but he didn't want you walking in the dark all by yourself. He wanted to make sure you were safe, but you didn't have to know that though. "Ah, just on my way to the game", he said casually as he scanned your face, "You know, trying new things and all that". You couldn't help but make a surprised grimace as he continued: "Giving a pretty girl like you a ride is on my list as well", he smirked, "Only if you want, that is". You ignored his last sentence, still stuck on the information from the beginning, not sure if you understood him correctly. "Wait. So you're telling me that you, the one who made it very clear on multiple occasions that you'd never in a million years want to be associated with those 'scumbags', are actually going to their game?", you said, with a somewhat concerned smile, thinking he's planning to cause a scene because there's no way in hell you're believing he's doing it recreationally. "You know what they say...", he says, opening the door for you from the inside, with a silly grin on his face, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". You sarcastically rolled your eyes at the statement as you got in the passenger's seat, chuckling.

It was all going pretty well, he thought. Although quite distracting, his quick-witted jokes and flirty banter made you feel more relaxed and comfortable around him. His plan was working. Until it wasn't. Just when you finally turned your attention back to the game, the player who just scored a goal waved at you, winking. Shit, he's got competition. Eddie didn't know who the guy was but from the looks of it, you knew him pretty well. He saw the way Robin's shocked face looked at you from across the gym as you tried to shrug it off shyly, avoiding Eddie's stare to prevent him from asking any questions. He didn't have to ask you anything though. It's not like he hasn't noticed the way you happily blushed at the guy's gesture.

The ride home was quiet. Quiter than you thought a ride with a self-proclaimed basketball hater after a basketball game would be. You were surprised to see him ignoring your every word, especially after you thought you two were actually getting close today. You figured he was just tired so you didn't want to distract him from focusing on the road but truth to be told, the silence was killing you. 'Cause you really did like him.

He, being a gentleman that he was, opened the door for you, helping you get out with his free hand, trying to hide his discontent. "So, did you have fun tonight?", you asked, breaking the awkward silence, hoping he'll finally open up to you. "Do I look like I had fun, Y/N?", he said in a serious but calm tone, turning his head to the side, trying not to start a fight. He made it clear that something was bothering him but he had no right to act like an ignorant jerk if he didn't even bother to explain what upset him so badly. You were through with his bitter answers so you turned around and started walking away, muttering "fuck you, Munson" under your breath, when you felt his hand grabbing yours. "Look, I'm sorry, okay?", he said in a deep voice as he turned you to face him. At this point you were furious with his behaviour. He can't play with you like this. "If you were gonna act like such a brat, why did you even go to the game in the first place?", you asked, tired out, desperate for an answer. "Because!", he yelled before he stopped himself, contemplating if he should finally confess. "I went because of you", he shouted, feeling his chest rise up from the adrenaline. You were dumbfounded, eyes widening at his words. "But then that idiot took all your attention and ruined everything", he said, trying his best to lower his voice not to scare you. "And you even blusheddd", he whined, slightly tilting his head back, waiting for you to say something. Anything.

There was so much going through your mind at the moment but you knew that actions speak louder than words. You stepped closer to his stiffened body and got on your tiptoes, putting your right hand on his chest for support as you pecked his cheek. "You're so cute when you're mad", you admitted, scrunching your nose, looking into his eyes with a soft smile, lightly pushing yourself off of him. He was the one blushing now.

How dare you?

summary You start getting close to a cute guy at a party but your best friends brother isn't so happy about it.

pairing(s) JJ Maybank x reader, Rafe Cameron x reader

warnings jealous!Rafe, one or two curse words, mentions of drinking, fighting, angst angst angst.

a/n I'm a sucker for jealous Rafe so this will definitely need a part 2. Enjoy! / 1.9k words.

You're grateful for your best friend, you really are, but at the moments like these you wished she never got a boyfriend. After you and Sarah spent the whole afternoon getting ready for the party of the summer, John B had to show up and steal her away from you. You weren't actually mad at her, quite the opposite, you wanted her to have a good time, just like you wanted to have it yourself, but the problem is that now, with her gone, you knew basically no one there.

You stayed at Sarahs' lots of times before, since your families are business partners so you visit Outer Banks quite often, but you never actually got to get to know anyone besides the Camerons, or to be precise only one of them. You did say hi to Sarah's infamous older brother in the kitchen once, but after he just side eyed you, you figured it was better to avoid him but you just couldn't ignore how irritated and annoyed he seemed whenever you and Sarah were around. Especially you. It's like he had something against you but you couldn't quite distinguish what. And you decided that you won't care because there was something more important you had planned this summer instead of dealing with his nonsense- meeting a certain someone.

You never actually met any of the pouges but your best friend told you more than you needed to know about every friend of her boyfriends', especially about a hot blond one. Sarah was supposed to introduce you to all of them tonight but it seemed like she had more important things to do right now. After slowly beginning to feel lonely, you decided that you didn't get ready for nothing. If Sarah wasn't here to introduce you to people, you were gonna do it yourself. It can't be that hard, right?

You just needed a few shots to boost your confidence.

As you were approaching the bar you heard an unfamiliar voice from behind calling for you. "Y/n!?"  You turned your head to meet a face you recognised from one of Sarah's friend group photos. "I'm JJ", he shouted, leaning over so you could hear him over the loud music "John B just texted and apparently the lovebirds aren't coming back here so Sarah asked me to keep an eye on you". You were taken aback by this sudden situation and you knew your friends did this on purpose. You were already too tipsy to answer anything but a flirty "Not complaining" while sipping on your drink. The only thing you could focus on was the smirk on his face. God, he looked so good.

You two quickly took off, jokingly gossiping your friends and being a bit too touchy considering you were complete strangers an hour ago. JJ was in the middle of describing the way him, Pope and John B got in a fight with the kooks a few days ago, when you felt something change in you. You were looking at JJ but you couldn't hear a word, this weird feeling completely taking over you. It could be because of the 3rd drink you had tonight but no, you've felt this before, just before you'd catch him staring at you. And that's when you knew, you were being watched.

While JJ was too occupied reenacting the fight for you, your head hurriedly searched through the crowd, hoping you're in the wrong. But that's when your eyes met his. Rafe's blank stare from across the room made you freeze immediately. His face looked completely serious and collected but you could see the way his brows slightly scrunched up. He was judging you. It's almost like he was mad. You looked away immediately, trying to shift your attention back to JJ who didn't happen to catch your change of demeanor. "Could you take me some place more quiet, please", you asked, interrupting his vivid storytelling, not actually minding the loudness. You just needed to get away from there. Get away from him.

The two of you grew to like each other's company so much that neither of you wanted to leave the party yet, so you found the only slightly quieter place at the party- the porch. JJ noticed you shivering from what he thought was just the night breeze outside. But oh, if he only knew.  He covered your shoulders with his jacket and a little "there you go". You were silent for a while, feeling sort of cozy and safe just being wrapped up in his jacket. You put your head on his shoulder when he finally broke the silence. "I never thought a girl like you would hang out with a guy like me", he said quietly, almost like he didn't want to wake you up, even though he knew you weren't asleep. You couldn't help but lift your head off his shoulder, murmuring a sleepy and confused "what?". "I mean, me being a pouge and all", he said more clearly, finally turning his head to face you. You never really thought about it that way. "Oh, I honestly couldn't care less about your 'rivalry' with the kooks, I just don't get it. But if I had to choose...", you said with a teasing smile forming on your face, "I'd join up with your 'gang' ". He let out a chuckle, lightly bumping his shoulder into your side. "I'm really glad to hear that", he said smiling at you, the sudden eye contact making you blush.

You spent the rest of the party enjoying JJs company. Laughing at his jokes made you forget why you two were even out on the porch, so you quickly grabbed his hand and ran back in when you heard your favorite song playing. All you wanted right now was to dance because your mission was complete. You met the person you came to the party for and you hit it off instantly. Nothing could ruin this night for you.

What you didn't know is that Rafe wasn't letting this go. You really thought you could laugh so loudly and have a good time with his biggest enemy in front of him. On his part of the island. And on top of that you tried to hide from him? Didn't you see how he was looking at you earlier? Wasn't that enough for you to realise that he didn't want you there. Didn't want you with him. And you just ignored his obvious warning and continued flirting with someone else? But no, he can't do anything yet. He hasn't told you how jealous he was every time you'd hang out with Sarah. Of course SHE claimed you. He's always been intrigued by you but he couldn't stop thinking about all the stuff his sister must've put in your head. He's Rafe Cameron, he couldn't just come up to you and get rejected. It would hurt his ego and reputation forever. But this? This was even worse. Who do you even think you are? How dare you? You were moments away from following this pouge into a first empty room all giggly and shit. And God, he didn't want to imagine what could happen next.

JJ cupping your face in the corner of the room got Rafe out of his trance. Seeing him kiss you was the last straw and he couldn't hold back anymore. His fists clenched as he was approaching the two of you and just seconds later, he was grabbing JJ by his shoulders, pushing him off of you.

You were taken aback and it took you a moment to realise it was him. Rafe was holding JJ by his collar and you could notice the rage in his eyes. You collected yourself and tried to separate the poor boy from Rafe's grip but he was too strong. "What do you think you're doing, huh?", he shouts, looking at you with narrowed eyes, keeping JJ in a chokehold.

You couldn't believe this was actually happening. Why does he think he can just come up to you like this and ruin your night. He couldn't do this. Not right now. Not like this. Not after he's been ignoring your existence ever since you got there. And now, he has the audacity to hurt the guy you like? Who does he even think he is? How dare he? In front of all these people?

You glared at him in disbelief, unsure of what to say. There was so much on your mind. You wanted to yell and scream because he took this too far. The only thing you were able to do at the moment though, was cry. You knew you had to do something to put him back in his place but it's was so late and you were so drunk. You couldn't think straight and you felt so overwhelmed that you just ran away.

He knew it. He knew he fucked up and seeing you cry wasn't exactly what he had planned. Not like he planned anything. He knew he couldn't follow you because he didn't know where he would even begin explaining himself. If you'd even let him to.

After JJ finally escaped from his grip, he ran to catch up to you. Yes, he did want to confront Rafe but he figured he'd deal with him later. Right now, your wellbeing was his number one priority.

You wandered off far from the party but your muffled sobbing gave you away. He noticed you sitting on the beach, face buried in your hands, when he approached you carefully. "U okay?", he asked worriedly as he sat next to you. "I'm so sorry" was all you could say before breaking down again, putting your head on his lap. He caressed your hair as he spoke in a calming tone, not trying to upset you even more: "It's okay. I'll take care of it", he whispered as you sat up again. "I'll take care of you".

You were still shaken up. After all, this was the first time someone so furious and agitated came over to you, demanding an answer to a such an absurd question. You started believing that it wasn't even aimed to you, it had no reason to be. The only logical explanation you could come up with in your current state was that you just got caught in a pouge-kook fight that had nothing to do with you. Rafe did attack JJ after all. You convinced yourself that the question was meant for JJ but you couldn't figure out why. You weren't sure if you even wanted to know. Calming yourself down with the new theory, you finally started speaking. "He just wanted to get revenge on you for beating up his friends the other day, right?", you said with confidence, thinking you've finally figured it out. You wondered if your reaction was too dramatic considering the situation had nothing to do with you. You could've helped JJ instead of getting freaked out by an ignorat jerk. "God, he's such an asshole, why does he dislike you so much?", you asked as JJs face looked at you with confusion. Could you really be this oblivious? "Y/N...That wasn't about disliking me. It was about liking you". You freezed at his words, refusing to believe what he had just said, when that weird feeling came over you again. You felt Rafe's intimidating presence as you turned around, shivering. It was him and he was just steps away.
