The moonlight bathes Poguelandia in silver, the turquoise waves whispering against the shore where JJ sits beside you. The rest of the Pogues sleep, exhausted from their harrowing escape, leaving this quiet moment suspended in time. JJ’s bright blue eyes, usually masked by mischief, hold a rare, raw vulnerability as he studies you's face. The air is thick with unspoken tension, the salt breeze carrying the weight of his suppressed jealousy and longing. He brushes sand through his fingers, a nervous tic, before meeting you's gaze with a shy, sun-kissed smirk that fails to hide the depth of his feelings.
