What A Cheat - JJ Maybank x reader

Summary: you catch JJ cheating at a card game

A short one-shot I had written a while ago, and totally revamped and revisited and rewrote (even though it's still short) I hope you guys like it :)

Word Count: 1.8k

Pairings: JJ Maybank x pogue!reader

Looking between your own cards and the boy across from you, you were astonished. It was an easy game you were playing and yet you couldn’t believe how many times you had lost. If you had to count the losses on your hands you’d fail to have enough fingers. You’d gone through most simple card games already that day; most you remember simply through childhood memories, and some you even learned in The Chateau backyard. And yet it seemed like your opponent had won almost every round, except for when he made it obvious he had garnered you the win. There was no universal karma coming to strike you down, was there? It seemed improbable, and your academic friend, Pope, would surely agree once you told him of the injustice. Yes, you decided, checking your cards again, there was no way someone could win that many times in such a short day. Your cards were fine. Not bad at all. 

“You are so cheating." You rebuked with a pout (sure enough that even the look would cause the boy to confess), and looked across from yourself at your boyfriend. When your gaze fell upon him, you had just begun to spot him (trying ever so slightly to be stealthy) stuffing cards up the sleeves of his sweatshirt. On better days he would've handled hiding it a lot more masterfully, but it slowly dawned on you that he wanted to get caught. It was no secret he liked you worked up, just enough that he could toy with teasing you. He often liked the way your eyebrows knit together and the way you chided him in his misadventures (which happened every day). He also liked the way you laughed, if not right away then eventually, at his antics. If he were playing with any of the other pogues, he either would’ve hidden his cheating more thoughtfully or wouldn’t risk it at all. Though, they rarely played with him, knowing his habits. 

“Am not.” The boy smiled at you charmingly, knowing exactly how that same smile made your heart melt as easily as a popsicle on an Outer Banks summer day. His hoodie was endearingly frayed at each of the openings, which just gave you enough view of the most recent card he stuck up his left arm. You smirked as you eyed it, onto his game. You had made him stay inside on such a nice day after all, what a shame to miss the sun. Miss fishing with John B and Pope. Miss picking up trash on the beach with Kiara (which was really her idea of fun). And miss seeing you in a bathing suit, happily tanning on the HMS Pogue. Cheating seemed to be a lot more fun than playing the old fashioned way.

"JJ Maybank," You chided. "You know where cheating gets you."

JJ raised his eyebrows happily and furthered his smirk, throwing a loose card at you friskily. "Now where is that, Princess?"

“Don't call me that. Nicknames will not weasel your way out of this one, Maybank." You then continued, giving him your own mischievous side-eye,  "It gets you someplace without kisses." He opened his mouth to speak but you stopped him with a held out hand. "That's right. I've revoked your cuddle privileges too. Now don't get all mopey. This is harder on me then it is on you-"

JJ squinted at you then started to get up off the floor of the Chateau where you were both sitting. You had made quite a nice set up for your little makeshift date. A clean eco-friendly blanket (that you had borrowed from Kie) was sprawled on the floor and you had even brought snacks, a couple of juice-boxes and even ‘JJ juice-boxes’ which was just beer. The other pogues had decided to go surfing but you wanted to stay inside and enjoy some alone-time with your boyfriend (without the other pogues constantly on top of the both of you). Sure, you enjoyed surfing (JJ had probably even taught you most of the tricks you knew) but it was also nice to have The Chateau quiet. Hear the creak of the floor boards under your footsteps as you walked instead of music continuously playing. Or the snoring of sleeping pogues. Or everyone repeatedly coming and going. You hadn’t gotten a lot of time with just JJ recently, and thought if all the pogues were busy it would be the perfect time to do just that. You didn’t want much. A few board or card games. A movie. A nice chill day with your boyfriend. Fortunately, JJ can’t resist begging, especially from you, so he gave in easily and said farewell to the other pogues this morning. 

It wasn’t unusual for any of the pogues to sleep over at The Chateau, but you and JJ had become consistent regulars on the pull-out couch. So The Chateau already felt like a second home. It breathed familiarity. It was the perfect place you wanted to relax. Kie always covered for you with your parents, and you did the same for her, but JJ’s dad never really seemed to care where he was most nights as long as he saw him eventually. You knew it was a safe place for JJ too, The Chateau that is. You’d both cuddle up on the pull-out couch and you could tell even though you were in his arms, he felt safer. It was an escape from the home you know JJ didn’t deserve. You would never deny that it was nice at John B's. You both got to spend time with each and your other best friends without much hassle from parental supervision. In just that moment, you wanted nothing more than to grow up and get a house just like this. With JJ.

JJ crossed over into the kitchen, where you couldn't see him from the floor, but you did hear him close the fridge. It was quiet for a moment and then you heard a devious chuckle from the other room and automatically you rolled your eyes with a sense of familiarity. Trouble, usually more than not, followed that boy’s laugh. Then after a beat, you heard the boy say in a cocky voice, "I counter. I could revoke sex." You could practically hear the smirk in his tone. 

You snorted, grabbing the cards left on the floor into a pile, seeing as your current game had been thwarted by JJ’s cheating. "Go ahead." You said in the direction of the kitchen. "Let's see how long you last." It didn’t matter if he could last months, you knew he was lying. And you too, as JJ liked to sometimes torment you, liked to watch your boyfriend squirm. Once you had all the cards, minus the ones warm in JJ’s hoodie, you leaned back onto the floor with nothing but a towel for a head-rest. 

"Y/N!" He poked his head back into the room where you were sitting, feigning a half offended and half shocked playful expression. "And here I thought I was pulling out the big guns." Again, you rolled your eyes except this time you made sure it was quite obvious. A show, per se, to show your boyfriend that while he may be slightly idiotic at times you were still playing along. 

"I'm sure John B would appreciate the sudden celibacy. He does need to sleep too." You stated as a smile tugged at your lips. JJ now stood leaning against the frame of the entryway to the living room where you two were camped out. His hair had been recently tussled (maybe from getting up - his hair did have a life of its own - or from running his fingers quickly through it without thinking) and you kept a sweet smile that was forming from showing on your lips. You needed to be sly, witty. Not mushy at one sight of your boyfriend’s messy hair. “And don’t say he can just sleep outside.”

JJ sighed, moving towards you and sliding back down to the floor now with a water bottle in hand. "I'm sure John B would appreciate a lot of things.” He nudged your knee with his own and looked down at your head on the floor. “However,” He continued. “That doesn't mean they're going to happen." He took a sip of the water then offered it to you. 

“So kind.” You mused at the boy, returning his nudge with your own. You sat up and leaned yourself up against the couch you had called a bed for many nights and chugged the rest. You finished impolitely, as a little kid does after drinking, with a large “Ah” escaping your lips.

"Really? I just got that, Y/N." JJ pouted, giving you his best version of puppy-dog eyes. He grabbed the water bottle and turned it, as it was still open, upside down to show that its contents were truly empty.  

“Kie wouldn’t have liked the idea of us using plastic water bottles anyway.” Then, “Anyways, It's what cheaters deserve.”

JJ leaned across the floor, his face close to yours, "You love me." You could feel his warm breath on your face.

You leaned closer to him, your lips almost touching. "Do I?" You kidded, leaning in close enough to kiss him. You could feel his warmth radiating off of his skin and hoped he couldn’t hear your heart beating in your cheeks; or notice your hand that snaked into his cozy sweatshirt as you coiled your fingers around a thick stack of playing cards that had made their home there. But the game goes on, and just as he was leaning in and your lips were going to touch you pulled back quickly, ushering a quick and curt, "Except cheaters don’t get kisses." In the same motion, you pulled your hand free of his sweatshirt revealing and scattering the cards that he had piled into his clothing. “And look at that, I have evidence of a cheater right here.”

JJ scrunched his eyebrows together and put his lips into a line, clearly disappointed, "I thought you were joking." Understandably, caught red-handed, he wasn’t going to protest his innocence.

"How am I supposed to rid you of your bad habits without a little punishment?" You laughed, a soft melody that made him want to kiss you even more. "Rematch, Maybank?"

"If I win," He said as you eyed him. "With no cheating.” He looked pointedly at you, playing your game. “Then I get a kiss. Deal?"

"Deal."

"You're on L/N." 

Grabbing his face towards your own, you planted a firm kiss to his cheek then scooted away back to your spot and started shuffling the cards as well as picking up the ones he had stashed away into his hoodie. 

JJ looked at you questioningly, but there was a hint of a soft blush touching his cheeks behind his tan. You tried your best to brush off the blush hidden in your own cheeks but it was no use, JJ could already see right through you. 

“It’s for good luck, it doesn’t count.” You reasoned, already planning to lose. You didn’t bother to ask what you would get if you won. You already had it.

Sonic Prime positivity headcanons?

Hello, my dear!❤️✨

Positivity headcanons… hmm! Okay, I’ve got some:

When Green Hill was restored—just a bit after Shadow took the prism and before the picnic on the beach—Sonic made sure to give each of his friends a very, very long hug. Especially Tails.

Shadow learns to accept hugs from Sonic and to not fight him. Sure, he still flops around like a noodle in Sonic’s arms, but he grows to like them.

Sonic has an irrational fear of the dentist. It’s usually a team effort to get him to go and stay with him. He’s much more willing to go if he gets either a lollipop at the end, or gets to dig around in the prize box for a small Cracker Jack toy.

Shadow and Sonic use the prism every once in a while to check in on everyone in different shatter spaces.

Shadow and Sonic are very, very close after restoring the shatter-verse.😏

All of the palm trees have names, as well as a back storySonic and Amy get really offended if you don’t address them by their names (Their personal favorite is “Steve,” he lives by the beach and daydreams of being a chef).

None of them (except for Amy) knows how to cook. Sonic and Tails are notorious for setting fires in the kitchen and burning food.

Rebel and Renegade run for public office and win in a landslide. They’re marketing campaign consisted of eco-friendly reconstruction and more palm trees to plant.

Rusty and Black Rose sail across No Place in search of mystical gems and shiny gold rings. They’re also an old sea tale (that Catfish 100% “did not” make up) of them slaying a water monster that swallowed glowing rocks.

Prim and Thorn learn to mend their relationship and talk a bit more about their feelings. They bond over throwing spears and planting trees.

Gnarly is convinced that werehogs are real and sets traps for them all around the Bozcage Maze.

Nine reprogram the Alphas to have free will. They think and feel, but keep him company. Nine knows that it’s not the same, but he’s content with the company.

The Chaos Council are still drifting through the Void and spend more time arguing with each other than before.

Sonic has severe separation anxiety.

Big, New Yoke Big (would his name be “Smalls?” I’m calling him Smalls), Hangry, and Catfish like to take naps in high places. Whether it’s in trees, the ship’s sails, or on the roof, he likes to find a quiet place to nap.

Of all of the crew members on the Kracken that have a bounty on their head, Froggy has the biggest reward money. His crimes are too horrific to ignore.

Mangey makes a really good fruit salad.

Rouge knows everyone’s deepest and darkest secrets. She likes to playfully tease her friends about it once in a blue moon.

If Sonic and his friends go on walks in the forest, everyone needs to stop and let Amy talk to the birds. She loves the Flickies and can name every species.

Shadow guards the damned 4th chaos emerald (and the Paradox Prism) with his life.

Why a Laundry Bag is a Must-Have for Every Household in New Zealand?

Laundry bags may seem like a simple household item, but their utility and importance can't be overstated, especially in a country like New Zealand where outdoor activities, unpredictable weather, and a love for adventure are a part of everyday life. Whether you're a student, a busy parent, or someone living in a small apartment, a laundry bag NZ is an essential tool that can make managing dirty clothes much easier.

1. Protect Your Clothes

One of the primary reasons to invest in a quality laundry bag is to protect your clothes during washing. Laundry bags, particularly those made from mesh, can help prevent delicate fabrics from getting damaged in the wash. In New Zealand, where outdoor activities like hiking, beach trips, and sports are common, clothes often bear the brunt of dirt, grime, and sweat. Throwing these clothes directly into the washing machine without any protection can lead to tears, snags, and premature wear. A laundry bag ensures that your favorite garments, whether they’re delicate fabrics or robust outdoor gear, stay in good condition for longer.

2. Simplify Sorting and Organizing

In a busy household, sorting laundry can be a daunting task. A laundry bag can be a lifesaver in this regard. Instead of letting dirty clothes pile up in a corner, you can assign different bags for different types of laundry—whites, colors, delicates, and heavy-duty items like towels or jeans. This system not only keeps your home tidy but also speeds up laundry day. You won’t have to spend time sorting clothes before each wash, as the laundry is already organized into its respective categories.

3. Easy Transport

Whether you're living in a flat, a dormitory, or a house with a laundry room at the far end, carrying your dirty clothes can be cumbersome. Laundry bags are designed for easy transport, with durable handles or drawstrings that make carrying heavy loads more manageable. For those living in apartments or shared housing in cities like Auckland or Wellington, where space is at a premium, having a laundry bag that can easily be transported to a laundromat or a shared laundry facility is essential.

4. Versatility

A laundry bag is not just for laundry. In New Zealand, where many people enjoy the outdoors, a laundry bag can be used for various purposes. It can serve as a storage solution for outdoor gear, beach toys, or even as a carry-all for camping trips. Its lightweight and durable design make it an ideal companion for outdoor adventures, keeping your items organized and easy to transport.

5. Eco-Friendly Option

In a country that prides itself on its natural beauty and commitment to sustainability, opting for a reusable laundry bag is a small but significant step towards reducing plastic waste. Instead of relying on disposable plastic bags for transporting dirty laundry or storing items, a reusable laundry bag offers a more environmentally friendly alternative.

Conclusion

A laundry bag NZ is an essential household item for every Kiwi. From protecting your clothes to simplifying the laundry process, offering easy transport, and even contributing to eco-friendly practices, a laundry bag is a versatile tool that can enhance your daily life in many ways. So, whether you're a city dweller or someone living in the countryside, make sure you have a quality laundry bag in your home—you’ll wonder how you ever managed without one!

Popular summer spots include beach resorts, mountain retreats, and cultural cities. Each offers unique experiences, so choose one that aligns with your family's interests and preferences.

Pack Smartly Packing can make or break your vacation experience. Create a checklist to ensure you have all essentials, including sun protection, comfortable clothing, and necessary travel documents. For family trips, include items that keep children entertained, such as books, toys, and games. Remember to pack light to avoid unnecessary stress and baggage fees.

Stay Hydrated and Eat Well Summer heat can be draining, so it's vital to stay hydrated. Carry reusable water bottles and encourage your family to drink water regularly. Additionally, prioritize balanced meals and snacks. Explore local cuisine, but also have healthy options on hand to keep everyone energized throughout your trip.

Embrace Technology Leverage technology to enhance your travel experience. Use travel apps for navigation, finding local attractions, and managing bookings. Social media can also be a great tool for discovering hidden gems and connecting with fellow travelers. Just remember to balance screen time with real-life experiences.

Prioritize Safety Safety should always be a top priority. Keep an eye on travel advisories and health guidelines for your destination. Ensure your family has travel insurance that covers medical emergencies and trip cancellations. Familiarize yourself with local emergency contacts and have a plan in place for any unforeseen situations.

Stay Environmentally Conscious Traveling responsibly is essential for preserving the beauty of our planet. Opt for eco-friendly accommodations, support local businesses, and minimize waste by using reusable products. Teaching your children about sustainable travel practices will instill a sense of responsibility and respect for nature.

Capture the Memories A summer vacation is a time to create lasting memories. Take plenty of photos and videos, but also immerse yourself in the moment. Encourage your family to keep a travel journal or scrapbook to document their experiences. These keepsakes will be cherished for years to come.

How To Choose A Beach Bag?

Choosing the best beach bag involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your needs while complementing your style. Here are the key aspects to consider:

Size and Capacity

The first thing to consider is the size of the beach bag. Think about what you typically bring to the beach. Do you need space for just a towel and sunscreen, or are you also packing snacks, a change of clothes, books, and toys for kids? Opt for a larger bag if you have a lot to carry. A bag with multiple compartments can help keep things organized, separating wet items from dry ones and providing easy access to essentials like keys and phones.

Material

Beach bags come in various materials, each with its pros and cons:

Canvas: Durable, easy to clean, and often comes in a variety of colors and patterns. However, it can absorb water if not treated.

Mesh: Lightweight and allows sand and water to escape, making it ideal for the beach. However, it might not protect items from the sun or rain.

Nylon/Polyester: Water-resistant, durable, and easy to clean. These materials are great for keeping items dry and are often used in sporty, utilitarian designs.

Straw: Stylish and lightweight, but not the most durable, and can be difficult to clean.

Comfort and Convenience

Comfort is essential, especially if you need to carry your bag for long distances. Look for:

Padded Straps: To prevent the bag from digging into your shoulders.

Adjustable Straps: For a customizable fit.

Handles and Straps: A bag with both handles and a longer shoulder strap offers versatile carrying options.

Design and Style

Your beach bag should reflect your style. Whether you prefer something trendy and colorful or classic and understated, there are countless designs available. Consider:

Color and Pattern: Bright colors and fun patterns are popular for beach bags, but neutral tones can be more versatile.

Brand and Aesthetics: If brand matters to you, many high-end designers offer stylish beach bags that make a fashion statement.

Functionality and Features

Consider additional features that enhance functionality:

Zippered Pockets: To keep valuables secure.

Insulated Compartments: Great for keeping drinks and snacks cool.

Waterproof Linings: Protects your belongings from getting wet.

Removable Liners: For easy cleaning.

External Pockets: For quick access to items like sunglasses, sunscreen, or a book.

Durability and Quality

Invest in a beach bag made from high-quality materials to ensure it lasts for several seasons. Look for strong stitching and robust materials that can withstand sand, salt, and sun exposure.

Eco-Friendliness

If environmental impact is a concern, consider bags made from sustainable or recycled materials. Many brands now offer eco-friendly options without compromising on style or functionality.

Price

Beach bags come in a wide range of prices. Set a budget and find a bag that offers the best combination of features within that budget. While it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option, investing a bit more in a quality bag can provide better durability and satisfaction in the long run.

In summary, the ideal beach bag balances size, material, comfort, style, and functionality to meet your specific needs. Whether you prioritize trendy designs, practical features, or eco-friendly materials, there is a beach bag out there for you.
