Hey Petri, I want to request a Pope Hayward x fem! Kook reader where they are at a party and he has a crush on her and the pogues give him advice on how to flirt with her, and he kinda of embarrassed himself, and reader is having the time of her life watching it, and then he just gives up and goes back to his nerdy self and she loves it cause she's secretly a nerd and has a thing for him too ( hope you get it <3 )

Wooooo as much as I love TMR I do enjoy the odd request I get for other fandoms.

Also Pope is severely underrated.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS COUNT

MASTERLIST | POPE MASTERLIST

SUMMARY: See above. Does not follow the plot at all.

WARNINGS: Inappropriate language, Pope being an awkward dork, that's it.

The Pogues going to a Kook party was pretty much unheard of. But, with Sarah Cameron in the group now- she occasionally missed the high-end life of Figure 8.

So, she'd finally convinced the Pogues to come to a small event on her side of the island. Well, it was originally meant to be a small event, but now half of Kildare has shown up.

"Ew, look at all these plastic cups," Kie says as the Pogues walk through the front garden to the party; fashionably late, as always. "Do people know it's actually possible to have a good time without single use plastics? God."

"What?" JJ sneers. "You're telling me you don't like a good ol' fashioned classic red party cup? It's a staple of American culture."

"It's bad for the environment."

"So?"

So? Are you-?"

"Guys!" John B cuts off their bickering. "Can we have one night, please?"

"One night what?" JJ pushes.

"One night without this shit- we're here to have a good time, okay?"

"Okay."

"You got it, JB," JJ gives him a playful salute, making Pope and John B exchange glances.

"Why did we think the was a good idea?" Pope grumbles.

"Because, it's good to expand your social circle." John B says.

"We're only here because you can't say no to your girlfriend."

"Hey! That's not true."

Pope blankly looks at him as they reach the door. "What? It's not! Besides, this is a good time for you to get some action."

"What?" Pope follows John B into the house (basically a mansion), as Kie and JJ still bickering behind them despite their alleged compliance.

"Yanno, pull? You've been thrusting over Kie for so long it's getting embarrassing."

"Hey! You weren't much better before Sarah came along."

"John B!" Sarah squeals over the loud music, rushing over and throwing her arms around him. "I'm so glad you guys actually came!" She also hugs Kie. "Come on! Let's get you guys a drink."

The Pogues awkwardly venture through the house, earning dirty looks from the Kooks that populate the area.

There are a couple of girls who keep giggling and looking at JJ and John B as they stand in the kitchen.

Pope hates it.

He hates how easy it is for them to get attention. People want them all the time- they're rebellious, attractive and they're players. Well, JJ is.

He isn't like them. He works hard, likes school and obsessed over his future. He desperately wants to live in the moment, but he just can't bring himself to.

He's just not that type of person.

"Yo," JJ nudges him, passing him a spliff as he sits on the counter top, which Pope waves away.

"I'm good- gotta study tomorrow. Keeping the-"

"Yeah, yeah, gotta keep the signal clear, we know." JJ huffs. "You gotta loosen up, man, how you gonna get a girlfriend if you're so uptight?"

"What's up with you guys, tonight? What's this shit about girls all of a sudden?"

"It's always about girls... or money," JJ shrugs. "Sex and riches- that's what life's all about."

"That's a depressing way to think."

"Well, I'm not wrong, am I?"

Pope sighs. He doesn't know why he agreed to this. It's not like he's a party person, he only does it for his friends. He doesn't like drugs, or drinking or hook up culture.

He's completely out of place here.

And that's when he saw you.

"Oh, shit," you chuckle as you bump shoulders with someone leaving the kitchen. You put your hand on his shoulder. "Sorry, man, that's my bad."

The boy grins at you before slipping away. Your friend stands behind you, pushing in front and grabbing you towards the counter and immediately filling the cups with several different types of alcohol.

"Come on," your friend drags out her words, "you gotta drink with me!" She tries to force a cup into your hand, which you swerve.

"If I get hammered, who's gonna look after your dumbass and convince your Dad you're sober?" She rolls her eyes, going back to making her potion.

Pope's been looking at you since you walked in. You're the most gorgeous girl he thinks he's ever seen. He can't help but stare.

Something that JJ and John B notice.

John B nudges Pope, making him look at him as he wiggles his eyebrows. Pope shoves him and JJ bursts into laughter.

"Dude, you're totally makin' eyes at the Kook chick," JJ cackles.

"Shut up, bro!" Pope whisper-yells because you're only a few feet away and he's hoping the music keeping him covered.

"Which girl?" Kie pipes up.

"That one," JJ points at you.

"Oh my God," Kie laughs, as she finally notices you, "(Y/N)?"

Your name sparks your attention, a grin spreading across your face. "Kie? Holy shit!"

The girl comes over to you and you throw your arms around her. "I was so sad to hear you moved schools- I tried calling you."

She breaks away from the hug. "Yeah, I know, sorry; I changed my number after everything happened at the Kook Academy."

"I don't blame you," you sigh. "I'm sorry about all that shit, Kie, I tried to stop it."

"I know- it's not your fault. And it all worked out," she points at Sarah, who is whispering something to John B as he has his hand on her waist. "We're cool now."

"Huh, I woulda lost a lot of money on that bet," you smile at her.

"You, uh, you spoken to Rafe recently?"

"Nah, fuck that- fell out with Topper and Kelce too when they started being dicks to you. Don't need that kinda shit in my life."

"(Y/N), come on!" Your friend pulls on your arm. "I wanna dance!"

"Sorry, gotta go, I'll catch you later though, yeah?"

"Yeah, see ya around."

You vanish out of the kitchen being dragged away by your companion into the living room.

"Y-you know her?" Pope asks Kie, standing up straight.

"Yeah, (Y/N) was, like, the only decent person at the Kook Academy."

"Why didn't you tell us you were buddies with a total smoke-show?"

"Shut up, JJ," Kie and Pope say in unison.

"I can introduce you? If you want?" Kie smirks and Pope hesitates.

"No, it's fine, she's out of my league, so..."

"Pope, come on," JJ jumps off the counter, throwing his arm over his shoulder. "This is your chance."

"I said no, it's fine."

"C'mon, JJ's right; just talk to her. Let me introduce you guys." Kie smiles, nudging him slightly as JJ shakes him.

Pope groans. "Okay, okay- fine."

Kie grabs his hand, yanking him out of the kitchen and into the living room. You're standing casually, leaning on the fire place, checking your phone as your friend dances with some guy.

"How do I talk to her?" Pope stops Kie, making JJ nearly walk straight into his back.

"Just be cool," JJ shrugs.

"What does that even mean?"

"Just, yanno, don't be like you. Talk about all the shit do- pot, stealing, parties and shit."

"But I don't do that."

"You do now- you ain't gonna pull anyone with your corpse facts."

"J," Kie pushes him before turning to Pope, "just talk to her how you talk to us. It's easy. Come on."

She pushes through a few people, reaching you.

"Hey."

You look up, smiling at her. "Hey, Kie."

"This is Pope," she vaguely gestures towards him, "he's a friend from the Cut."

"Oh, this one of those Pogue boys you're always hanging out with?"

"Yeah, he's cool though. Ain't ya, Pope?"

"Uh, y-yeah, I'm uh," he clears his throat, "cool."

You raise your eyebrow slightly, giving a slow nod. "Cool."

There's a short thirty seconds of silence, and you unsure what you're supposed to do.

"I'm gonna go find Sarah," Kie smiles at Pope but he is visibly stressed. She disappears into the crowd, leaving the pair of you. Pope awkwardly rocks on his heels.

"So," you decide to take the lead, "what's life like on the Cut? Gotta be more fun than being trapped in the ivy tower."

"Yeah, it's great fun. We go out and get high and steal uh... stuff. Yanno, just for fun."

"... yeah, sounds like great fun."

Okay, this is weird.

Pope is cute. He doesn't look like the typical douchbag you're used to and it's kind of obvious he doesn't know what he talking about.

"I think I recognise you," you say, sparking his attention.

"You do?"

"Yeah, you help out at Midsummers, right? With your Dad? Heyward, right?" Pope's face drops, there goes his cool facade.

"Uh, yeah, I give my old man a hand from time to time- but I'm normally busy, yanno?"

"What? Doing drugs and committing crimes?" He blinks at you. "Your old man's a legend; it's nice to see actually hard-working people come out of this island instead of just junkie slackers and rich elitists. You should look up to him."

"...You think my Dad's cool?"

"Yeah, he seems like a good guy. Though, I figured causing problems and pissing people off was more Maybank style."

He smiles at you. "Yeah, JJ's not a great influence." You chuckle, a sound that makes his heart skip a beat. "Sorry," he sighs. "I don't know what I'm doing."

"Do you wanna try again?"

"What?"

You hold your arm out for him to shake. "Hi, I'm (Y/N). What's your name?"

He grins, shaking your hand. "Pope. It's nice to meet you."

"Pope, huh? I like that name. So, Pope, what do you like to do?"

"Well, I uh..." He hesitates. Lying clearly isn't working. "I'm working towards a scholarship at school."

"Oh, yeah? What in?"

"Foresics."

"Oh, that's cool, you reckon you're gonna get it?"

"I mean, I hope so. It'd be an amazing opportunity."

"I'm sure you will."

You and Pope continue talking, and he seems to loosen up a bit. He tells you all about his studies and working for his Dad, and you tell him about your school life and what it's like living on Figure 8.

It's actually kind of nice.

Until JJ and John B get into a fight with a couple of Kooks, which requires the whole group of Pogues to flee.

"Pope!" JJ grabs his friend. "We gotta go."

"Wha- J-?"

"Gotta go, gotta go now!"

"I'm gonna fucking kill you!" Someone shouts in the depths of the house.

"Shit, what'd you do?"

"Just- come on!" He practically yanks Pope away, forcing him to leave.

You sigh, noticing a pen and a pad left on the fireplace.

"Okay, I think we lost them."

"Dude," Pope shoves JJ once they're outside. "I was getting somewhere! She actually likes me!"

"My advice worked then, eh? Told ya it would."

"No; your advice was shit- she wanted to talk about my scholarship."

The Pogues hesitate.

"Are you serious?" John B asks.

"Pope!" You skip down the steps into the front garden, jogging up to him.

"Hey," he says, stunned that you actually came after him.

"Here," you hand him a piece of paper, "my number- if you wanna talk some time?"

He looks at the paper, then you, then the paper.

"Dude," JJ says, snapping him back to reality.

"Uh, yeah, yeah, that's great," he takes the paper putting in his pocket.

"You guys better split- Topper's just called Rafe and he's pissed."

"Shit," John B mumbles, "Yeah, we gotta go."

"Oh, wait," you stand up straight, stepping towards Pope and kissing him on the cheek, leaving him stunned. "For good luck- with your scholarship."

His scoffs, words unable to form as Topper and Kelce burst through the door.

"Shit!" John B shouts.

"Go! Go!" JJ's hands hit the floor as he scrambles away with Pope struggling to get his feet under him.

You can't help but chuckle under your breath as Kie, Pope, John B and JJ make a mad dash for it as Topper and Kelce book it after them.

"Pogues, eh?" You turn to see Sarah standing on the doorstep. "There's something about them, don't ya think?"

You smile, looking back into the darkness, hearing faint hollars and insults being thrown by the group.

"Yeah, there is."

Woo an OBX fic. Not my usual work but definitely still fun to write.

I hope you enjoyed :))
