outer banks was heaven on earth, especially when the year was drawing to a close. you could feel the energy thrumming through the people, hear the excited chatter and find the occasional leftover christmas bauble floating in the surf.

the kooks, who lived on the north side of the island, were usually gone by now, on a fancy private jet to ski in switzerland, or some equally pretentious motive. however, this left the majority of outer banks to the pogues. for the pogues, this was the one time of year where they weren't washing yachts, cleaning tables, or working their asses off.

you'd always been a pogue, born and bred.

it was new years eve, so jj invited practically everyone on the island over to the chateau for a 'ass blowing party', in his words. the sun was dipping below the horizon when you arrived, tinting everything a brilliant hazy orange. pulling your jeep to a stop outside the slightly rundown house, you got out and headed towards the backyard, where music was booming through the trees and shady outlines of figures were visible through the foliage.

walking towards your group of friends, you smacked jj upside the head before he said a word.

"when you say a party, you're not supposed to invite all the pogues in outer banks over to the chateau!" you hissed, crossing your arms for good measure.

"hey, hey gorgeous, it's not my fault-- goddamn!" his eyes widened, eyeing you appraisingly. "well well well, look at you, lil' mama!"

you couldn't help but smile. he'd always had that effect on everyone. "you're not looking too bad yourself, maybank."

"when am i ever lookin' bad, huh?" he retorted, raising an eyebrow teasingly. before you could reply, he put his hand over your mouth, shaking his head. "uh huh, that's right. never." he laughed, letting you go.

"what about that time we were at the wreck?" john b jumped in, holding back a laugh. "didn't you stumble in with half your hair buzzed, missing a shoe?"

jj gasped affrontedly in mock indignation, leaping over to tackle john b in a headlock. "i told you not to bring that up!"

you tutted with a disappointed look on your face, watching the two boys tussle with each other. "jj maybank, how are you ever going to get a girlfriend at this rate?"

he choked a little on air, and tried to play it off, tossing john b at you and sarah with a playful shove, leaving john b to stumble against sarah's side like a disoriented puppy.

"y/n, how could you say that? you know i've got girls lined up around the block," he mock pouted, coming over and slinging an arm around your shoulders. "and plus, even if they don't like me, i've got you to give me a new year's kiss!"

you snorted, leaning your head on his shoulder. "yeah sure, jay. i'm gonna give you a new year's kiss, and the sky's fuckin' green."

"aww, you wound me, sugar." he said, looking down at you with a grin.

"oh, you big baby." you laughed, lightly bumping him with your hip. "you'll find your girl soon enough."

"i bet i will." he said, his eyes flicking back to the party after a moment.

the night went on as per usual, and of course, jj got drunk and had to be dragged around everywhere. and you were stuck with the job.

"jesus christ, jay, you smell like vomit." you wrinkled your nose, his arm draped over you again.

"i smell like strawberries and roses, thank you very much." he slurred, clumsily putting a finger on your lower lip.

you rolled your eyes, taking his hand off. "jj, cmon, let's get you some water."

"i don't water, i want a kiss from my pretty baby," he said, his eyes barely focusing on your face. "my pretty pretty baby."

"and who might that be?" you decided to humour him, slowly making your way over to the drinks table with a borderline incoherent jj in tow.

he laughed a little, the sound petering off towards the end. "well, she's like, super pretty. super super pretty." he grinned, his weight falling on you even more as he lifted the arm over your shoulders to draw a circle in the air. "and she's got an ass like," he made the circle even bigger. "that."

you raised an eyebrow, holding back a laugh. "does she? well, you'll have to introduce me to her sometime, won't you, jay?"

he finally looked at your face properly for the first time since he did that keg stand a while back. "hey, you look just like her!" he exclaimed drunkenly, stumbling a little as you came to a stop next to the water dispenser. "you've got the same... face!"

you paused a little, in between getting a cup and filling it. "do i?"

he nodded earnestly, finally standing a little straighter. "you look a little too like her, dude."

your reply was cut off as you heard people near the firework stand chanting 'ten! nine! eight!".

your eyes widening, you took jj's arm off your shoulder and held his wrist instead, dragging him over to the crowd. the flashing lights and glow sticks radiated off your face, colouring everything bright blue and deep violet. "c'mon, jay, count with me." you laughed, looking at his confused expression.

"y/n?" he asked, an expression of revelation coming over his face. "i think you're my pretty baby."

"what?-" you said, turning back to face him with a bewildered look. however, anything you said next was utterly drowned out by the exploding fireworks 50 feet away from you, and ultimately, jj's warm, if a little chapped, lips right on yours. his arms pulled you close, holding you pressed against him until the fireworks ended. eventually, you broke apart, breathing heavily. "god, jj," you laughed, after a brief pause. "you're my pretty baby too."

✧ please don't spam my asks with the same request. sometimes i might not necessarily see everything in my inbox, but i promise im trying my best to get through all of them xoxo!

✧ i do not, and will not ever write rape or dubcon.

✧ requests that have characters dealing with extremely specific or personal issues will unfortunately be denied. i'd like to abstain from writing those types of requests as i simply don't have the experience nor the means to do them justice.

✧ this blog primarily is written for a fem!reader, however i am open to writing other gender identities (with a little bit of guidance). however, i will never describe reader with any weight / race markers, just to keep it neutral for all audiences!!

✧ try to keep requests short + sweet! i will most likely ignore asks that are more than a paragraph long.

✧ this is most definitely a safe space for everyone! hate towards anyone or me will not be tolerated, and you will be blocked.

✧ if you'd like to claim an anon emoji, send a message through to my ask box!
