[7] ғʀᴀɢɪʟᴇ

You were in the kitchen grabbing yourself some ice cream to eat while you watched 'The Vampire Diaries', when you heard a knock on the door. The sound caught you off guard, since both of your parents were on a business trip.

"I'm coming!" you yell out as you hear the door open.
"Y/n?" The voice of non other than John b ringing throughout the house.
"I'm here!" Placing your ice cream down, you briskly walk to the front door. Your eyes widen as you glance at your boyfriend JJ, who's leaning against John b. Your heart drops at the sight of the bruises and blood coating his face. You didn't even want to think of the damage under his shirt.

You wrap JJ's arm around your shoulders and with the help of your best friend, the two of you lead JJ to the couch.

"What happened" you ask while lightly running your finger against the blondes cheek. His eyes clench shut and you sigh, bringing your hand back.

"It was his dad again," answers John b, pausing as he glances at the clock that's hung in your living room.
"Look I really hate to leave you both, but I've got work in twenty minutes, and I can't be late or I swear Ward will fire me"

You nod at John b, " Don't worry about it, JJ and I understand. Besides I've got it under control" offering the both of them a small smile.

"Thanks y/n, I'll text you about later tonight alright?" you nod again and wave, closing the door behind the brunette.

You turn to your boyfriend, " I'm going to go get the first aid kit, I'll be right back, okay?"
His blue eyes glance at you and he nods softly.

You make your way back to the blonde quickly, with the kit clasped in your hand. You sit on the table in front of the couch and pour some rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad.

You look back up at JJ, who's eyes are already on you, " I'm really sorry bub, but this is gonna hurt."

He nods softly and takes a deep breath. He places his hand into your free one and you squeeze it reassuringly. You begin dabbing his cuts, stopping every now and then when he grasps your hand tightly.

You dab the last cut on his face and throw the cotton pad lightly on the table.
"I'm so sorry this happens to you bub." you say as you begin placing kisses on his cuts and bruises.
You gingerly peck his lips and as you do, you feel him smile softly into the kiss.

"Thank you" he murmurs quietly against your lips.

"Anytime" you whisper back, enveloping the fragile boy into a hug. After a moment, his arms wrap around you, pulling you closer into him. He hugs you tightly, as if he's scared to let you go.

"Stay with me." You mutter, screwing the cap back onto the rubbing alcohol.
"What?" JJ breathes out, your words catching him off guard.

You blush, feeling flustered as you feel his eyes looking directly at you,

" Move in with me, I mean. My parents are never home, they wouldn't know. I can't let you keep going back to your dad's house. I know you have the chateau, but I can make this your permeant home. Our home."

Silence fills the air and you feel yourself getting even more flustered.

"Okay." JJ says while squeezing your hand reassuringly.

"Okay." You laugh out, a smile etching its way onto both of your faces.

You peck his lips lightly again before standing up. JJ watches you confused while leaning back  into the couch.

"I'm getting ice cream. I have your favorite, chocolate, want some?"

" hell yeah." JJ responds making you laugh while making your way into the kitchen.

"Hey J?" you call out, while scooping out ice cream into another bowl, since you already had made one for yourself earlier.

"Yeah?"

"Go out onto the porch, I'll meet you there"

"Roger that"

You chuckle, grabbing the two bowls and making your way out to the back porch. You open the door to see JJ, sitting on the swing your family had  bought a while ago, but never used.

You take a seat next to him, and hand him his ice cream. He takes the ice cream gratefully, thanking you with a small peck on your cheek.

The back porch of your house had a beautiful view. To you, the view made living on the cut more enjoyable. It was of the beach, and the two of you admired it while eating  ice cream peacefully.

"I love you" JJ mutters, eating his last bit of ice cream.

"I love you too" you say, taking both of your bowls and setting it on the table in front of you.

You ruffle his blonde hair and in response, he grabs  your waist, bringing you closer. He smiles at you, brushing his lips lightly against yours. Your noses brush before you decide to press your lips firmly against his. His lips taste like chocolate and feel like velvet against your own. The heat rises in your cheeks as his tongue touches yours, quick and voltaic, then more purposeful and meaningful.
The both of you pull away from each other, the need for air becoming prominent.

And at that moment, as JJ's head rested on your lap, you felt in complete bliss.
