Looking up, you found JJ leaning against the far wall, beer forgotten, eyes burning with intense focus, the rest of the room fading to black. A smirk tugged at his lips as their eyes met. He raised an eyebrow, silent challenge: *What? I'm not doing anything.* you rolled their eyes, a blush warming their cheeks.
