🫧 ━━ JOHNNY UTAH X CHUBBY F READER IMAGINE𓈒
𓈒part I
𓈒cheeky Johnny
𓈒inspo: @tedsbogusworld’s 🤖
━━ you are bodhi’s little sister
━━ just trying to make it through college while working part-time at the aquarium
━━ your parents aren’t around anymore, so you’ve been taking care of your older brother (paying the bills and rent with tuition money, stocking the fridge, dragging him in from the yard where he’s passed out in a puddle of beer and vomit in the cool waking sunset)
━━ your big brother throws the wildest parties ; you avoid them at all costs, shut yourself in your room, hide away at the beach, stay late at work. it’s just not your scene
━━ plus, his friends aren’t nice, especially not when they’ve been drinking, and being surrounded by tall, athletic bodies in tight swimsuits is detrimental to your baggy clothed, short, chubby self esteem
one night, you get home super late, but the party is still raging. Spilled cans of liquor on your floor, an unattended bonfire that you have to put out with the hose - we’re in a drought for chist’s sake, have some common decency, bodhi.
bodhi catches you in the kitchen, much to your scowling dismay, and has someone he wants you to meet. you’re really not in the mood for his antics tonight - he’s so drunk and high he can barely keep two feet parallel with the ground - so you basically tell him to fuck off
but, bodhi is super bad at respecting boundaries. it inflates when he’s under influence. he’s got you face to face with a brand new partygoer before you have a chance to run
“hey.” big white grin, tawny skin, heavy dark eyes. you have to crane your neck to look at his face.
the music is almost too loud for you to catch bodhi’s next infuriating line. “told ya she was cute, johnny. she’s all yours.”
you basically freak out on him, shove his shoulder and start yelling and cursing and drawing attention.
you’ve spent years taking care of him, not asking for a cent from his party fund, putting up with his bullshit, and you’re so fucking tired of him making fun of you just because you’re not a skinny surfing meat head. after you rip him a new asshole, you storm off.
you could go to your room, but that would mean shouldering through a crowd, so you opt for a long walk on the pier instead.
as you’re watching the dark ocean waves crash and spray against support beams, you feel a hand on your shoulder. you turn around, ready to fight, but it’s just bodhi’s new friend.
lowering your fist and replacing it with a scowl, you turn back around to face the open sea and ignore mr. tall dark and handsome.
“hey.” he leans on the railing beside you, accidentally scrapes his forearm on a barnacle and starts bleeding. “ah, fuck.”
“you’ve never been to a beach town, huh?” his arm is in your hand and you’re using your old tshirt to wipe the trickling red from his skin.
he smiles at you, boyishly, gives this coy bat of thick lashes that makes your tummy uneasy. you hope he doesn’t notice the abrupt way you let his arm flop. little tickly crabs crawl over your skin as you turn away.
“got a bandaid?”
“you’ll live.”
“ouch. hey, I think we got off on the wrong foot. i’m johnny, just moved here.”
“hullo, johnny just moved here, i’m not interested in company.”
he seems way too amused by your venom, lets loose a little chuckle. “you’re not very friendly, are you?”
“not to bodhi’s cult, no.”
“man, what is your problem?” he shakes his head and kicks dried salt. “you have the hots for me or something?”
stiffened shoulders, shrinking posture, eyes unable to hold his own. it’s all the info he needs. he gets a big grin that makes you want to jump right off the pier and let the angry water swallow you up.
“oh, yeah?” he tugs his bottom lip into the toothy smile, nudges your shoulder. “listen, just cuz i’m pretty doesn’t mean i’m a dickwad.”
“yeah, it does.” you think you’re insulting him, but really what you’ve just done is confirmed that you do think he’s pretty - the quiet, thick quiver in your voice doesn’t help your case.
“thanks, sweetheart.”
now you have a better idea - push him off the pier. instead, you walk away.
“oh, she’s adorable.”
