    Summary

    JJ grew up with the reputation of ‘the kid that just won’t shut up’. The kid that teachers dreaded having in class. He knows how to change the subject on a dime, rambling inanely about just about anything in order to distract, entertain, diffuse tension, avoid attention. It was his defense when he was young and scrawny, and by the time he grew taller and stronger, it was just a part of him. So, when JJ notices John B starting to act similarly, to speak about nothing in hopes of distracting the rest of them, it was definitely a red flag.

    ___

    John B is not okay in the weeks after his dad disappears, and JJ notices.

    Summary

    JJ hears it from his dad first -- the news that Big John is missing. He doesn't even hear the words at first, just registers the sound of his dad shouting from the other room, which manifests as the thrill of fear, of anxiety, of the questioning of oh god what is it now that comes with hearing Luke’s raised voice. But when JJ does put it together, that Big John has been officially declared missing, that is a problem. Because if JJ is hearing it from his dad of all people, that can't mean anything good for John B.

    ---

    The day that Big John goes missing, John B spirals. JJ helps bring him back together.

    Summary

    "You're earning so many best friend points right now," JJ mumbles as the warm water washes over him and his shivering subsides. "Just keep your eyes away from my junk, Routledge."

    "I knew you'd make this weird," John B mutters.

    JJ cracks one eye open. "This is definitely weird. Embrace it."
