Me when Shauna Shipman is Javi’s favourite out in the wilderness, his mother figure, the one he listens to despite his brother being right there with him and yet she’s the one that cuts him up and serves him to the rest of the group. She’s the butcher; that burden is hers to bear because the Wilderness spared her.

Party - Jackie
Warnings: none, just kissing and fluff
Spending the night before nationals at a party, yelling over too loud music and being hit on by drunk guys was not what I had planned on doing with my night. Jackie and her damn puppy dog eyes, however, had my resolve crumbling within seconds and I agreed to go.
      Music blares through a radio in the back of some dudes truck and there's a small fire in a firepit that illuminates laughing faces. I make my way through a sea of wasted teens, trying to find someone I know.
       I scan the crowd and see- well more like hear Randy Walsh hitting on Shauna Shipman. Rolling my eyes I scoff. Can't he take a hint? She's clearly not into him. I quickly lock eyes with Shauna as I wade though more people.
"Hey Shipman," I greet the relieved girl, watching the defeated look on Randy's face as he goes to flirt with some other poor girl. "God, finally...thanks, y/n"
"Randy being Randy?" Shauna nods, hugging her jacket close as we approach the table with drinks. She clumsily pours herself a glass of Malibu and milk. I snag a cup, filling it with cheap beer and watch as Shauna takes a few large swigs, "Geeze, Shauna. How many of those have you had?"
      Her response to my question fades away as my attention lands on Jackie. She was dancing with Jeff.
      I knew she didn't actually like Jeff. He was a cover up, a means to a end to keep up her image but fuck if it didn't make me want to rip his hands off of her. Our eyes met and Jackie winks at me before her attention is diverted back to absent-mindedly dancing
       Lost in my thoughts I hadn't noticed the bickering that had begun until my attention was ripped away from Jackie by loud yelling.
   "Shut the fuck up Laura Lee!" Shouting could be heard as the team began to spiral, the alcohol only intensifying the situation. Jackie's gaze locked onto me before it quickly fixes itself on the scene behind me.
    Poor Van was doing her best to separate  Shauna and Tai but the situation quickly grew out of hand. Soon, all of the yellowjackets were fighting.
      Someone yells, "Catfight!" And of course it's Randy. I yelled back at him. "Fuck off Randall!"
     Fucking Randy, I thought as I attempted to help Van separate the team.
     Realizing shit had spun out of control Jackie marched over, her hands settling on her hips. An air of authority followed her and her face was scrunched into a look of disbelief that shifted to one of disappointment.
"That's it. ENOUGH !"
      The command was effective. Whatever  shouts were heard quieted almost instantly. As the honey blond sucked in a breath we all waited.
"Yellowjackets, with me...now"
       I locked eyes with Jackie. My stomach did a little flip like it often did when I noticed her gaze soften. Her pink lips curved into the signature Jackie Taylor smile that made my mind go blank. It didn't last long, though, as she ran a hand through her hair and quickly fixed me with a look that said to get moving.
      After a speech (more of a lecture) and some reluctance, everyone gave in to Jackie's request of a team bonding exercise.
       I manage to sneak away from the team and find myself sitting on a wooden bench. As I make my way through a fourth cup of alcohol a voice grabs my attention. "Hey"
        We're inches apart when I turn my head. I can smell her perfume, the sweet floral scent surrounds me and my head feels fuzzy. "Hi" I respond, leaning into Jackie slightly.
      "What are you doing sitting by yourself...hmm?" her voice is like honey, low and sweet as she whispers. The words are clearly only meant for me.
        Before I can answer I'm wrapped in a hug that leaves a lingering warmth throughout my body and my mind races when she places a quick kiss on my cheek before letting go of me.
      We sit in a shared silence. Neither of us feeling the need to talk and I drink in the moment, savoring the feeling until a slightly slurred voice pierces the air.
"You guysss cominggg?"
      I reconize the voice, looking to see drunk Lottie coming into view. Lottie stumbles a little and leans onto a nearby tree for support as she motions for us to join her.
      A few seconds later another voice chimes in. "Lottie? Where are you? Lottieee...oh! There you are..."
       Nat wraps her arms around Lottie, clearly high off her ass as she tuggs on the taller girls arm in an attempt to get her to follow.
   "Aweee, you miss me Natty?" Lottie affectionately pats Nats head and gives us a wave before allowing herself to be led away.
       Me and Jackie watch the exchange, amused expressions on our faces as Lottie's dragged away.
      I turn to Jackie, who looks like she might explode as she trys her best to contain her laughter. She eventually gives in and a fit of giggles fight their way out. A smile fills my face as my own laughter soon follows. "Wanna get outta here?" I hold my hand out, waiting for her response.
      "Hell yeah," she responds, her hand warm in mine, a pleasant change from the chill in the air. We stumble through brush and branches before ending up in a secluded spot not far from the crowd of teenagers.
    My breathing comes in fast breaths and a small gasp falls from my lips when Jackie pulls me into her.
     Our lips press together softly and my eyes fluttered closed. Butterflies erupt in my stomach before my brain catches up.
    Fueled by the alcohol I grab the collar of her jacket and pull the blonde into another kiss.
     Soft hands move to grip my waist. Her thumb rubs circles into the skin there as she moves me backwards towards a tree, pressing me into it.
       When she pulls back, her eyes are glazed over and she leans in to kiss me slowly, as if she's taking the time to truly savor the moment.
       We stay like that, trading slow, lingering kisses that make my stomach erupt with butterflies and fill me with a comfort so deep it seeps into my bones.
      As the need for air increases, I pull away and suck in breath after breath, letting my lungs fill with the cool air. My eyes never leave Jackie's and through the small amount of light from the party I can admire her current state.
       A small amused huff leaves Jackie's lips as she reaches up to run her thumb over the side of my mouth. "You...uhhh..have some of my lipgloss on your lip..."
        I grin as she removes the sticky gloss, taking extra care in making sure none was left. Placing a kiss to her forehead, I realize we've been gone for a long time. "We should probably get back to the party, Jax"
"Yeah...we probably should" she huffs a bit, leaning in for a quick kiss before reluctantly separating.
    "C'mon" Jackie sighs as I grab her hand, intertwining our fingers together as we reluctantly make our way back to the party.
