jj maybank text post meme
the way my mind completely skipped over the fact that there was a murder in season one đ
best player, best bet.
pairings. jj maybank x fem!reader
part four of four.
about. jj pays you one last visit.
warnings. swearing
ricky rocks. finally finished đĽłđĽłđĽł this is also a THIRD repost, because it wouldnât let me edit the last one đ˘
you had won the best player award. jj had stepped down and you didnât even have to fulfill your side of the deal.
there was a part of you that felt very guilty for not showing up for him, but another part of you that knew you deserved this and it probably didnât effect jj as largely as you originally thought. ward probably had girls lined up for him and your absence was probably no surprise after what you had saw.
âi honest to god donât believe youâll need this many clothes,â rafe grumbles, helping you stuff a bag full of just your shirts. you glanced over to him, laughing to yourself as you packed another bag for your pants. âi mean câmon, y/n, after the first week youâre not even going to have enough energy to change your pants.â
âwhatever rafe,â you shook your head, âi actually care for personal hygiene and looking my best, unlike youâwho i could smell the beer off of when you came home for break.â
âoh, boohoo, give me a break, sweetheart. some of us actually know how to have some fun,â he mocked you, setting the bag down before grabbing another. âbig surprise, itâs not you.â
you roll your eyes. maybe asking rafe to help you pack for college was a mistake, especially since it wasnât even twenty minutes in and he was shitting on you.
âhey, y/n/n! someoneâs at the door for you!â
you got to your feet at the sound of your mothers words, sharing a look with rafe before you exit your room and toward the front door, âwho is it..?â
your question fades the moment jj comes into view and suddenly your mouth is a steel trap in surprisal of the sight of him. you hadnât expected to see jj after hockey season, not after all these months, but there he was with his hands stuffed in his jean jacket and a sheepish smile that made your stomach flutter.
âlong time no see, hockey puck.â
âjj,â his name comes out breathless from your mouth like you had been winded, and itâs almost like you were. âcome in?â
âthat a question?â
âno,â you smile crookedly, motioning him further into the house. âjust come in.â
he slowly strolls to your living room where you follow behind, expecting him to take a seat, but he only stops in the door frame, turning back to face you, âhow are you doing, kid?â
âi should be asking you that.â
he scoffs, almost wincing at the tone of your voice and knowing exactly what youâre referring to, âlisten, i didnât come here to make small talk.â
âsounded like you were.â
âokay,â he sighs, already regretting coming to your home, kicking himself for thinking itâd be so easy to talk to you after all this time of distance and tension just waiting to fill the space between the two of you again. âare you happy?â
âwhat?â you narrow your brows at the question.
âare you happy?â he repeats, âthe award ceremony shitâiâm happy for you, proud of you, really.â
you feel your face burn, suddenly looking to the floor at realization of what he was saying. you felt guilty as well as flattered at his kind words falling out of his mouth without a problem. he was being genuine, but something about it still made you feel⌠ashamed.
âyou got what you worked hard for, y/n. should be proud yourself.â
âyeahâŚâ you still stared at the ground, âthanks jj.â
âstill disappointed you didnât show up.â
there is was.
âi wanted to, you should know i did. but i couldnât,â your eyes move fast to meet his, feeling remorse, but he doesnât seem sad, or disappointed, or even mad when he looks back at you. it almost looks like he understands, like he doesnât really care that much. âi would have socked that man in the face of i had to see him again.â
he laughs dryly, slightly shaking his head, âwould have loved to see that.â
âprobably best it didnât happen. wouldnât have wanted to ruin your chances at one of the perfect little colleges he has set up for you.â
âwhat have i told you before, kid?â his arms slight reach out from his sides in expression. âiâm set for life, no matter how hard i fuck up.â
you shake your head, thinking about how true it was. jj was hooked up way before hockey season even ended.
âwhen do you leave?â you mumble.
âtomorrow, actually,â he stuffs his hands in his pockets, not satisfied with the answer he gave you either. he just wished he had more time.
shit.
itâs silent now and your whole body feels itchy with uncomfortableness. jjâs eyes are tightly focused on the ground once more, his eyebrows furrowed as if heâs frustrated and having a mental battle with himself in thought.
you watch him carefully, but you want to look away in fear of him catching you shamelessly staring. your drawn to the confusion on his face, to every emotion that crosses his features. heâs almost red in the cheek from shame but you canât understand why.
âyou know, i remember when i first met youâŚâ he laughs a little, cutting himself off. âoh god, the guys would talk about you all the time and how crazy it was that they let a girl on a team⌠and then i was like âhey⌠i know that girl.ââ
âyou had always wore those pink barrette things,â he motions to his blonde strands, âso i was shocked to see you kicking our asses that first game.â
âand the second.â
he scoffs, nodding, âand the second.â
you hate the space between the two of you right then. you hate how antsy he is and the way he moves only seems to put more distance between you.
âpoint is, iâm happy for you⌠and even if youâre not allowed⌠to play in college, iâm glad you got that scholarship. you deserve it, all of it.â
oh.
after getting the award and finishing out the season and schoolâyour doubts were getting the best of you about getting a scholarship or even playing in college. like jj had said before, scouts were misogynistic and they werenât going to change their opinions on girls playing a boys sport. not for any, not for one.
thankfully, colorado was your saving graceâhanding you a scholarship, not exactly a spot on the teamâbut the promise of consideration when time gets there. which everyone really knew what that meantâno.
âthank you, jj,â your eyes fall to the ground. âitâs a shame that iâll never be able to kick your ass again though,â you shake your head in disappointment, a loud hearty laugh ringing through your ears as jj throws his head back.
âyeah, you wish, sweetheart,â he shakes his head himself at the ridiculousness in your statement. âyouâre good, but not that good.â
âyeah, you want to bet, maybank?â your head tips back in a challenging manner, arching a brow.
âgive me a time and place, hockey puck, iâll be there.â

i cant with people justifing everything this man does like that is a crazy man ladies please get some help
Good to see that Rafe is still a psychopathâŚat least heâs consistent. Love that for him
Haven't watched s3 for these exact reasons
missing season one when the only couple in the friend group were john b and sarah, like why did they have to ruin the characters' dynamics by pairing together every single character?? as if in order to have a "happy ending" you have to be with someone or else you'll be miserable
and don't even get me started on jiara, those two have the biggest siblings energy and they just end up together because of the annoying fans who harassed madison and rudy and pushed the jiara agenda ughh they had zero chemistry and it felt so forced that it physically hurt me to watch their interactions, every scene was just so so bland and boring and yet people love them? kiara lierally said "i love you dude" and jj was like "thanks, great" lmaoo what are we talking about?
the fact that even rafe and barry have more chemistry than them and with way less scenes together says a lot tbh
also i really hate the fact that the writers had kie be with every boy!! she's her own person and they did her dirty with all this stupid relationship business, just leave them friends for god's sake it's not that hard
I don't even ship JJ and Pope, but everyone is better than Kiara with him đ¤Ś
Ps. Unpopular opinion: they should have left JJ single. His character's arch could have been so much more interesting without making him the hot guy â˘ď¸ who's the love interest.
in five episodes JJ managed to say "I love you" three times to a single person. and every time he did, he said it to Pope. not Kie, although she told him she loved him twice, to his face. I'm just saying...
So glad I haven't even watched the last two seasons, even if it was just to not see a specific ship (cough cough... Jiara...), I saved myself from ruining a good show in my head.
okay, if anyone else feels like the actual show ended with season 2 and that s3&4 are just very bad fanfiction of the show, please raise your hand bc I don't believe I'm the only one who sees how bs all of this is.
I won't lie, I hate the theory that Hollis is somehow also Rafe and Sarah's mother because she was totes hitting on Rafe and I don't care what kind of game or scheme you got going...
Brother, ew.
