Jack Barakat Imagines
Brother's Best Friend is my Boyfriend?
Your POV
I was downstairs sitting with the guys, Alex had invited them over to hang out or whatever. I hadn’t planned on joining them, I was just gonna sit in my room, but Alex insisted on it, he wanted me to learn how to socialize.
I told him I knew how to socialize, I just didn’t feel the need to. He made me to go down anyway. So I did. And I’m sandwiched between Jack and Zack. Zack is on his phone, probably tweeting about his clothing line, and Jack was watching the movie we put on. The only one besides me who was actually watching. They had ordered pizza, but it hadn’t come yet.
“Why did we let Rian pick if he’s not even watching the movie,” Jack whined.
Alex looked at Jack with a raised eyebrow. Lisa was leaned on his shoulder, sleeping softly. “Because if we let you choose all the time, you’d want to watch the same movies over and over.”
Jack laughed lightly. “That’s because they’re the best movies ever made.”
“Alex, shut your face hole, this is my favorite part,” I snapped at my brother.
“Yeah Jack,” Alex laughed, sticking his tongue out at me.
Jack rolled his eyes at Alex, and turned to watch the movie again. The doorbell rang suddenly, and he jumped up. “I got it!” He ran to the front door. I was hungry, so of course I went to follow him. Favorite movie or not, pizza is important.
Jack came into the kitchen, and called to the guys for food. None of them moved. I was already there with my plate ready. Jack laughed quietly at my eagerness. “You’re such a dork.”
“Am not.” I whipped my hair so it would brush his face, and grabbed a piece of pepperoni. Jack came closer to me and snaked his hands around my waist, giving me that same look he always gave me when we’re alone together. “Jack, stop, Alex might come around the corner any minute.”
“Alex is preoccupied by Lisa,” he whispered to me, planting small kisses on my neck. I giggled quietly and put my food down to wrap my hands around him as well. He touched his forehead to mine, and closed his eyes. I reached up to kiss his lips. He kissed back and tightened his grip around me.
Jack and I had little moments of heated kissing or hugging. We hadn’t told anyone, we don’t talk about it after they’re over, it was like some sort of unspoken rule that we both understood. Alex would flip if he knew that we had this going on.
It just sort of happened, it didn’t have an actual label. One moment we were just talking and the next we were making out in my bed. We didn’t talk about it afterward, we didn’t change how we behaved around other people, just how we behaved around each other when we were alone.
Jack’s tongue brought me back to the present. He was really getting into it. I moved my hands up to his hair to run them through. Things were getting hotter, and he pushed me up against the counter to deepen our kiss.
“Jack, what’s taking so long?” a voice asked, and we both pulled away immediately. Alex showed up from behind the door. “What the fuck?”
Jack and I both glanced at each other. It must have looked really strange. We were panting, and were a little too close for comfort. “Yeah, I was just grabbing a soda,” Jack said quickly. He reached behind me for the refrigerator and opened it for a can of Coca Cola.
I don’t think Alex bought it, but Jack pushed past him anyway. Alex turned to watch him go, then looked back at me. “Y/N? You want to tell me what’s going on?”
“Jack and I were just talking,” I said quietly. I didn’t like lying to my brother, but I hated it when he was mad at me more.
“That didn’t look like just talking.”
“What if it is?”
“Then I don’t believe you.”
I sighed. There was no way Alex was going to let me get away with this. I was going to have to come clean. “Jack and I are, well.. You know, sort of.. seeing each other.” My gaze fell down, I didn’t want to meet his.
“What do you mean by seeing each other?” He chose his words carefully.
“I mean like, we kiss sometimes and stuff like that.”
“Nothing official?”
“No..”
“Y/N, you gotta stop seeing Jack, he’s just going to hurt you. If he’s not serious, he doesn’t care.”
“That’s not true!” Jack cares about me!” My face was getting hot. What did he mean Jack didn’t care about me? Of course he did!
“You gotta believe me, Y/N.” Alex didn’t look like he wanted to tell me it, but he still did, and it still pissed me off. I pushed past him into the living room, and texted Jack as I sat down. Even though he was sitting right next to me, I couldn’t afford Rian and Zack hearing what we were saying.
Jack told me to go to the back room with him, so I followed. When Alex came back out and saw Jack and I leave, I guess he kind of flipped because Lisa finally woke up.
“So what happened?” Jack asked me.
“I told Alex that we were seeing each other, and he told me that I can’t trust you because nothing’s official.” I managed to choke out. Tears were welling up in my eyes mostly out of frustration, but a little bit of doubt as well. What if Alex was right?
“So then let’s just make it official?” Jack shrugged his shoulders. I looked up at him from behind my hair.
“What?”
“If he thinks that I’m not serious about you, we’ll show him that I am. The reason I hadn’t asked yet or even spoken to you about it was because I-” he stepped closer and grabbed my hand, playing with my fingers. “Because I knew that you were weary of Alex’s feelings, and that I didn’t really know how to.” His voice got quieter as he went on. “So, Y/N, do you want to be my girlfriend?”
I didn’t really know what to do. I stood there in shock which I assume was the absolute worst thing to do.
“If not, that’s cool too, we can go back to how we were.” He immediately dropped my hand and took a step back.
“No no-” I stepped closer to him, grabbing both of his hands, showing him that I want this to happen. “It’s just, I didn’t know you actually wanted me that way.”
“I’ve wanted you that way since as long as I can remember,” he whispered. His head was down, but I got under his gaze to make him look up at me. I stood on my toes to give him another kiss. This one was different though, rather than hungry, it was soft, savory, like we both didn’t want it to end.
I pulled away after sometime, and grabbed his hand to pull him back to Alex. I was going to show him that if Jack and I wanted to be together, we would. We went out to the living room, and I glanced over at Rian and Zack. They both looked completely confused until they saw our hands. They nodded to each other and turned away. Damn, was it really that obvious?
Alex and Lisa turned to look at us. Alex’s face looked red with frustration, and I dropped Jack’s hand. My confidence fell.
He refused to acknowledge the both of us, and turned back to Lisa to continue with their conversation. Jack and I sat down, feeling awkward as hell. My own brother ignoring me. Great.
Alex sighed after a while and got up to face both me and Jack. “I don’t have a problem with you guys being together, Lisa told me that I can’t keep you forever, Little Sis.” He ruffles my hair and glances back at Lisa, and she nods. “Don’t hurt my little Y/N, Jack.” He had a more serious face for him.
Jack simply nodded. “Wasn’t planning on it.” He grinned and looked down at me. He grabbed my hand again and I smiled back up at him.
“So if you guys are going to do gross stuff, feel free to leave the room,” Alex grumbled sitting down. Lisa patted him on the back reassuringly. Jack laughed and pulled me in close to him to put his arm around me.
Zack turned to face Rian. “Dude, you owe me ten bucks, pay up.” Rian sighed and coughed up the money, and Zack grinned at both of our confused faces. “Called it.” We all laughed together and sat back down to finish the movie.
