    Summary

    "Excuse me? I think–"

    The guy turns around, the setting sun lighting the edges of his blonde hair fire gold. Kiara's entire world crunches to a grinding halt.

    “...JJ?”

    His name leaves her lips in a whisper.

    He freezes, smile dropping from his face like he’s been slapped square in the jaw.

    “Kie?”

    There’s a solid five seconds where neither one of them moves.

    Summary

    He lets out a small groan and she turns to see him slowly sitting up and rubbing at his eyes trying to rid them of sleep.

    She turns to him and offers a small smile, spatula in hand. ‘Morning.’

    JJ blinks at her a couple times, his hand comes up to run through his already tousled hair, his eyes focus onto her and Kie can’t quite figure out what makes his eyes slightly widen and his mouth fall when they do.

    ‘Holy shit,’ he breathes out.

    Her first thought is that he sounds shocked, the next is crap, did he not remember last night? He hadn’t seemed drunk, but she can’t be sure. Maybe she’s just created an insanely awkward situation where he hasn’t seen her in two years and all of a sudden he wakes up and she’s in his kitchen making breakfast.

    ‘You really are pregnant,’ he continues.

    ***
    After finding out she’s pregnant, for reasons even she doesn’t quite understand herself, Kie goes to JJ. Throughout the months of her pregnancy her and JJ fall into comfortable and entirely platonic domesticity that will in no way result in them falling in love.

    Summary

    Maybe she’s half persuaded by the third best friend of John B’s trio that he always mentions. The one that Sarah’s said more than once, pensively, that they’d be good together. Whenever Kiara tries to drag them to some gig or to laser tag or to get ice cream at 3am. It’s an idle, oh, this is a JJ thing tossed over her head, between themselves, like a universally acknowledged fact.

     

    aka: jj and kiara are apparently made for each other. until they're really not.

    Summary

    “He’s a good guy if you give him a chance, Kie.” John B instists, “He can be kind of… immature sometimes, but he really does mean well.”

    “The batter I’m still picking out of my hair would beg to differ.”
     
    Sarah rolls her eyes as she grabs her own handful of popcorn. ”Alright, fine. Just give him the benefit of the doubt, then. We’re not asking you to fall in love with him or anything, here. But, you do work together.”

    “Yeah, no need to worry about that,” Kiara says, picking up her cards again to crush John B’s spirit by stealing the two he has just asked Sarah for not a minute before.

     
    or, when Kiara is suddenly left without a job, she begrudgingly accepts Sarah's offer to work as a baker on a holiday farm with her and John B. And an annoyingly attractive groundskeeper who continuously shows up at the worst possible times.

    Summary

    if love was blind, jj maybank probably wouldn’t have spent so many high school class periods staring at kiara carrera’s legs from the back corner of the classroom. kie probably wouldn’t have felt warm all over every time she saw jj follow his friends into the Wreck, hat on backwards, laugh boisterous, smirk dangerous.

    if love was blind, jj and kiara probably would have been just fine when they were home for the holidays. they wouldn’t have met eyes in the glow of bonfires and fireworks and festive lights, wouldn’t have thought, just for the weekend.

    if love was blind, year after year after year, they wouldn't end up back at this, thinking the road not taken looks real good now.

    messy as the mud on your truck tires, but hear me out.

    ten years of 'tis the damn season.
