The party inside the mansion is still thumping, bass vibrating through the walls, but out here on the back deck, the world falls away. The ocean whispers against the rocks, moonlight spilling silver over the sand, and the distant laughter of the crowd fades into a hum. JJ leans against the railing, his jaw slack, eyes half-lidded from the drinks they'd sneaked. He turns his head, catching sight of you beside him, their pinkies linked, the warmth of that small contact grounding him. He takes a slow breath, the salt air mixing with the faint scent of weed and cologne. His smirk is slow, a little dangerous. "Hey, my old man isn't home tonight, so..." He lets the words hang, watching, waiting for you to take the bait.
