Requested by @Dayna613 :) Enjoy!
"So who else is coming tonight?" You ask your friend TJ.
"Oh, you know. People." He says, obviously avoiding the subject.
You look at him suspiciously, "Really? I thought you were inviting elephants." You say sarcastically.
He sighs in defeat, "Fine, I'm inviting the team. Including Jori." He confesses. You groan in displeasure. "I know you don't exactly get along with each other, but I want both of you there to celebrate my birthday with me." He gives you puppy dog eyes and you cave.
"Okay, I'll be there. But don't expect me to be nice."
TJ grins at you, "Great, see you tonight."
You arrive at TJ's and the party is already started. It's not a huge crazy party, more like a kickback with all the guys and their girlfriends or wives. You let yourself into his home and he sees you immediately.
"Y/N! Glad you could make it." TJ exclaims and pulls you into a hug.
"Hey TJ, happy birthday." You hand him his present, and he takes it gratefully.
"Thank you, I'll just go put it with the others." He tells you, then makes his way to another room. You glance around the party, and your eyes meet Jori's. You avert your gaze from his and turn around, quickly walking to another room. You wanted to avoid Jori, because you didn't want to argue with him at TJ's party.
You step outside onto the back patio, taking in the night air. Everyone else follows, and soon the whole party is outside by the bonfire.
"Y/N, come sit with us." TJ invites you over to the fire. You walk over to him, and to your dismay, the only available seat is next to Jori. You hesitantly take a seat next to him. He doesn't say anything to you, in fact he ignores that you're even there. This makes you angrier with him. Would a simple 'hi' be too much for him to say?
"I'm going to grab a drink." TJ says, and leaves you alone with Jori. You give TJ a death glare and he gives you a shit-eating grin. It's like he wants you to fight with Jori. You begin tapping your leg nervously.
"Can you stop that? It's annoying." Jori says to you, you feel your face get hot.
"Why should I care whether you're annoyed or not?" You say back, and tap your foot even more. He sighs angrily and clutches your leg, bringing it to a stop.
You groan in anger, "Whatever, I'm going back inside." You storm into the house, past TJ and into the kitchen, grabbing a beer. You take a few gulps, and lean against the counter. A few seconds later, TJ drags Jori into the kitchen.
"Okay that's it. I left you two alone in the hopes that you would get along, obviously it didn't work. So, you two aren't leaving this kitchen until you work out your differences. You're my best friends, I just want you to get along." TJ says sternly, then leaves the kitchen. You don't even look at Jori as you lean on the counter.
"You're being really childish." He tells you. You finally glance at him.
"I'm being childish? You're rude to me every time you speak to me. I just want you to like me, and I want to get along with you, but you make it incredibly difficult." You breathe out in relief at finally able to express yourself. He just looks at you for a moment, then finally answers.
"You make it difficult too."
"How so?" You are surprised he had the balls to say that.
"You make it hard to hate you."
"First of a-" You stop your sentence short, eyes wide in shock. "Wait, what?"
"I don't want to like you, but I do. I like you a lot." He admits. You are speechless at this information, so he continues. "When I first met you, I knew you were special. It scared me how fast I fell for you, so naturally I acted like a jerk. I'm sorry for that." He apologizes, and you find your voice at last.
"Wow, I wasn't expecting that." You mentally kick yourself for sounding so stupid.
"I understand if you don't feel the same, I treated you terribly."
"I don't really know how I feel." You reply, still very confused about the turn of events.
"Well, can I take you out so you can make up your mind?" Jori asks as he chuckles.
You giggle a little, "Um, okay. Why not." You say. He grins at you, and TJ storms back into the kitchen.
"Finally! There was so much sexual tension between you two it was driving me crazy." He exclaims.
"Shut up TJ." You and Jori say at the same time, making you chuckle. At least you could agree with Jori on something.
