Above the terraces a single main road gleaming with parked cars led to a chapel at the nearer end of the town, a church at the other.

Places that are so dense that parking is in such short supply that parking is a separate charge from rent or requires getting in with the local government, sure, public transit is practical and frequently available.

The fact that street parking is proposed as a big deal way car ownership is subsidized is... Ok, so this is a post about dense urban areas.

The thing about cars is that you don't even really need to regulate or disincentivize them. You just need to stop de facto subsidizing them (by charging a carbon tax for gas) and setting up the world for them (all current urban planning).

If the owner of a car was not given free storage for their 5 figure luxury item (free street parking) and had to actually pay for the things they use, most of the problems would solve themselves!

"Jap Hospital Bill Disowned," Vancouver Sun. October 13, 1943. Page 7. --- Special to The Vancouver Sun NEW WESTMINSTER, Oct. 13. - Objection to the principle of paying hospital bills for former Japanese residents of New Westminster who are now interned in the Interior was voiced at the City Council meeting Tuesday night.

Tom Reid, MP, member for New Westminster, will be requested to take the matter up with the Dominion Government, which the Council felt should be responsible for all hospitalization charges of alien enemies.

A bylaw providing for registration of bicycles in New Westminster will be prepared. The finance committee will decide on the fee to be charged.

The practice of commercial vehicles parking on streets in residential areas will be curbed in a bylaw.

The city will also prohibit the repairing of motor vehicles on city streets.

A grant of $150 was made towards the proposed Pro-Rec physical training classes in the city. The T. J. Trapp High School auditorium and the Dontenwill Hall will be used.

so, Amity Parkers fit in in gotham.

plus the city is so rich in ectoplasm it's almost like at home! in fact they probably only need their ecto-sups because it's so cursed.

the fear toxin works like caffeine for liminals. they found out accidentally while Wes was mid-rant and forgot his gas-mask like a dumbass he is.

Wes being Wes figured out the Bats identity in the first month since moving but he learned his lesson, kept his mouth shut and corkboard hidden safely in the realms having joined the Team Phantom a while ago.

Val visits some of her friends here sometimes, with the suit being part of her body now she's basically halfa-adjacent (she has suspicions she's one major near death experience away from actually becoming one) and she's getting major "Fuck-off it's my haunt" vibes from Crime Alley. maybe Red Hood's a ghost? not gonna check now.

Paulina is having emotions about Nightwing's ass and no one wants to hear them, curse liminal ability of ghost-speak.

all things considered? life is well. tho it might be a matter of time before the bats start getting annoying.

One thing I haven't stopped thinking about is that scene where Ed and Stede dine and dash and we get that glimpse as they run off giggling. Because really, more than the hopeful reunion, the soft confessions, more than the anger and bitter jabs, that moment was a glimpse into who they'll be as a couple.

Just a couple of chaos gremlins doing whatever the fuck they want and giggling the whole time, because when they're together the rest of the world fades away, its just them and their silly little whims.

summary- Jay becomes a different person once midnight strikes

________________________________________________________

Park Jay is the top racer, he has won every single race every single race he’s ever been in. Countless of people challenge him for the title of top racer but they always fall short to him.

Jay was unbeatable, untouchable. No one came close to him.

But when your brother joined the racing scene, there seemed to have been a shift. Your brother was just a beginner to street racing but was quick to become second to Jay in a matter of months.

Yet every single race they did, your brother always lost to him. Jay seemed to always be one step ahead of him.

You receive earfuls on end of your brother complaining about losing to Jay with each race, while mentioning how one day he will overthrow Jay and get the title of top racer.

You personally have never met Jay, but you’ve heard the stories and seen him lingering around at the race meets after midnight before beginning his races. He’s caught your eyes a couple of times but you both always turned a blind eye to each other.

There was nothing for either of you from each other so there was no need to instigate anything.

You stood in the freezing cold as your brother rambled on about a topic you already tuned out in your head. You aimlessly watched the racers come and go as your brother waited for his turn to race.

“If it isn’t my favorite person” Once you heard the voice, you knew who it was, you looked to your side to see Jay conversing with your brother

“One of these days, I will beat you Jay” But he only laughed at his words before shaking his head

“I’ll wait for the day it happens right before my eyes” He smirked while placing a hand on your brother’s shoulder who shoved it off him

“Hi” You looked to see Jay giving a friendly smile towards you as the confusion became visible on your face, neither of you ever tried to instigate something so why now?

“Back off Jay” Your brother shoved him away as he raised his arms in defense showing he meant no harm to you

“I’ll catch you in the race then” With that, he walked away prideful stride and when your brother turned to you to continue on his ramble, you eyes trailed after Jay who turned around and caught your eye once again

But instead of looking away like usual, Jay began to walk backwards to maintain the eye contact between the two of you. You saw the smirk Jay had on his face and you could feel yourself scoffing out a smile.

He was getting on your nerves.

“You’re going to win this race?” You asked your brother who only shooed you away from his car saying along the lines of ‘don’t lean on the car, you’re going to get it dirty’

You rolled your eyes and went back to the crowd who seemed to be more rowdy and louder. It always became like this whenever your brother and Jay ended up racing each other.

Before the two of them went to their respective cars, they urned to face the crowd before facing each other, giving a firm handshake. Your brother was first to enter his car, but Jay seemed to have another idea.

He made his way towards the crowd and the moment he stood in front of you, he gave the same grin before grabbing your hand and placing a crumbled paper into your palm.

“Jay leave my sister alone!” You could hear your brother yell from his car and Jay only laughed before walking away to head back to his car

You stared at the two cars, the ignitions blaring in your ears, along with the loud screams and cheers of the audience and before you knew it, they were off.

The smoke from the cars fogged up your vision, but you could still make out the red lights from the cars only getting smaller and smaller in the distant.

When the air finally cleared up, you finally looked down at your closed hand. When you opened your hand, you saw the crumbled paper resting in your palm.

You scoffed to yourself before prying open the paper and what you saw what was written, your eyes became wide as you almost dropped the crumbled paper to the ground.

But what didn’t sit right with you was the sudden feel of pounding against your chest.

‘This is my number. You can send me a text if you were impressed’

It was way past midnight and here you were staring at your ceiling, your phone in hand with a brand new you contact you created for Jay.

You don’t know why you did this or how it has come to this but the damn note never seemed to have left your mind and now you were stuck with him on your mind as well.

You knew he was only doing this to spite your brother (and possibly you) so why were you allowing it to get to you.

Why not kill the curiosity in your heart? It’ll be just for a moment, it wouldn’t be anything to extravagant, just something simple to push the burning desire away.

You: Hi

Once you sent the message, you finally realize what you have done, you squealed and threw your phone away before groaning into your pillow.

You didn’t even expect him to respond, assuming that he’ll just take forever to get back to you. But much to your surprise, you heard the ding from your phone.

As you were looking away, you grabbed your phone and mentally prepared yourself. Doing a countdown from five and once you reached one, you looked at your phone.

Jay: Hi

Jay: I’m happy to know that you were impressed

Now you knew you were definitely screwed.

The blaring music in your ears, the swarm of bodies colliding with one another, the heavy suffocating atmosphere wasn’t ideal to you. Your friends had dragged you out to go to this party, to let ‘loose’ and to ‘have fun’.

It was humorous to you that they were the ones that dragged you out but now neither of them were to be found. You were left all alone and you wanted nothing more but to go home.

You took out your phone and was going to text them that you were leaving but you froze when you heard a voice from behind. You turned around and you were greeted with Jay, whose smile grew wider once he realized it was you.

“Fancy seeing you here” You had to hold yourself back from rolling your eyes at him as you held a tight lip and nodded your head

You and Jay were texting here and there with simple conversations but nothing out of the common decency. So seeing him in person again bubbled something inside of you and you weren’t quite sure if it was good or bad.

“I guess I can say the same about you” You chuckled out and you could see Jay leaning up against the wall and you found yourself nervously gulping

“No brother?” You closed your eyes in annoyance with his words, you noticed he was growing fond in spiting you for the hell of it

“Very funny Park” The mention of his last name caused him to tilt his head

“Ouch, what happened to using my name darling?” When you heard the nickname fall from his lips, you looked to him to already see him looking at you with a gaze in his eyes you couldn’t quite decipher

“Don’t use that nickname”

“Why? You don’t like it darling?” When you finally rolled your eyes at him, you could see the smirk of his only grow wider, he loved messing around with you

“You look like you don’t want to be here”

“Actually, I’m having the time of my life so if you’ll excuse me” You hummed with a fake smile before making your way upstairs to escape the unbearable atmosphere

With every move you made, you could feel Jay’s gaze follow you until you were out of his sight. Once you were gone, you pressed yourself against the wall and sighed out of relief.

Your head lightly hit the wall but you managed to push yourself off it and decided to roam the upstairs. There were a few people here and there talking, also seeming to get away from the hectic of the party downstairs.

Your footsteps slowed down when you saw a beautiful decorated balcony with lights looped around the rails, that overlooked to the night sky filled with shinning stars and not a cloud in the sky.

When you reached the balcony, you rested your arms onto the rails and admired the sky. You seemed oblivious to the person who kept knocking against the wall trying to get your attention.

With the mention of your name, you turned around and was once again greeted with Jay.

When you left upstairs, Jay was going to leave you be. But something in him told him to continue talking to you more, so he bid his friends goodbye before going upstairs to find you.

You intrigued Jay greatly and he was surprised that he was allowing his emotions to take over his rational thinking. You were his rival’s sister and here he was going after you because he wanted to talk to you more.

When he finally found you, you were looking over at the midnight view. He knocked to announce his presence but you seemed so engrossed with the view, you blurred out your surroundings.

He called out your name to get your attention and once you turned around acknowledging his effort, he felt his heart stop for a moment.

The moonlight shunned behind you, the small lights glowed and Jay found himself in utter awe of you.

You looked at him and raised an eyebrow. You called out to him a few times but his mind seemed to override by you.

When you were finally able to get his attention back, you could notice the cough he let out, the sudden change demeanor as he straightened out his posture towards you.

He took awkward strides towards you and he thought you wouldn’t notice but to you he stood out like a sore thumb.

“Can I help you Park?” He pursed his lips before shaking his head, not even daring to look at you let alone mutter a single sound towards you

He simply walked beside you and rested his arms against the rails, mimicking what you were doing a few moments ago.

You found yourself scoffing at him before shaking your head. If he was going to ignore you, you will simply ignore him.

You looked to the sky once again and admired the stars, but you didn’t realize at first, but Jay’s gaze had switched from admiring the stars to admiring you once again.

but it was ruined when you could feel Jay trying to be sneaky and steal a few glances at you.

You gave him the benefit of the doubt and ignored his gaze and continued on, but when there would be seconds that go by and he would continue staring, that’s when you had enough.

“What do you want Jay?” When you turned to face him, you should’ve prepared yourself to experience seeing his gaze on you, but you weren’t

So when you turned to face him and saw the softened admirable gaze he had for you, you felt the world slow down as you saw his eyes never faltering from you.

The moonlight casted onto his face, the uncomfortable thump in your chest made you want to look away but couldn’t. You were stuck in a daze of Jay and you couldn’t seem to get out of it.

“Do you want to get out of here?” His words were soft almost a mutter you couldn’t make out, but in your mind his words screamed

Everything that happened after that was a blur. One moment you and Jay were admiring one another and the next moment, you both were hand in hand, walking out of the party.

Jay opened the passenger seat for you and helped you inside his car. Once you and Jay were off, you both sat in the car in silence, not really thinking through of the environment you both will be in.

Jay seemed tense and you have never seen him like this before especially when he was in a car. You looked outside the window and saw the few amount of cars passing by.

“So what do you like to do as hobbies?” The awkward questioned Jay asked, only fueled the awkward silence even more that you chuckled before stopping yourself

“Don’t start Park”

“What’s so funny? It’s a genuine way to start a conversation” You found yourself laughing and Jay only rolled his eyes and focused on the road but oblivious to you was the growing smile on his face

“Why are you so interested to get to know me? I thought you didn’t like me”

“Don’t get it twisted. I don’t like your brother and I have no reason to have any negative feelings towards you so why not have positive ones instead” You stayed silent for a moment, his words sunk into your mind and you found yourself breathing slightly heavier than usual

“I suppose you have some truth” You mumbled and you could the snarky gaze he gave you before shaking his head

“I’m pretty sure I know I hold the whole truth”

“You still didn’t answer my question though. Why are you so interested in getting to know me?” You turned in your seat to face Jay since you knew he wouldn’t be able to look your way

“Because I’m intrigued by you”

“Is that wrong?” He knew you were already looking at him and so he turned his gaze from the road to you

The awkwardness was replaced with another sensation in the atmosphere and neither of you knew what it was.

Later in the night, you knew it was well past midnight and there seemed to have been no plan of ending this outing with Jay. He was going down the highway at high speed but you didn’t feel any of the fear you feel whenever your brother is driving.

Jay had one hand on the steering wheel, but he knew what he was doing. He knew when to speed up, when to slow down, to make a turn. He made it seem like he could practically drive with his eyes closed and be perfect in doing so.

With the music playing through the speakers, the windows down as the midnight breeze filled the car. The tension faded away and was replaced by the mentality of not caring.

You both had a curiosity for each other, so why neglect it when you can indulge yourself just for tonight.

Song were playing through the speakers, as you and Jay sang along. You found yourself laughing with him, to which was something he couldn’t get enough of.

Your laughter filled his ears and he swore, he would never get tired of hearing you laugh.

Jay occasionally found himself looking towards your way and he found himself smiling and admiring you, as if you were the only person that had importance in his life.

When you turned to face him, you caught him. This time neither of you looked away for a moment, yet he cleared his throat and shifted his gaze back onto the empty highway.

You laid back into the passenger seat as it finally sunk into your mind. You and Jay “weren’t” supposed to get along, rather you were supposed to be on opposite sides.

Yet, why did it feel so right to be in this moment with him? That was something your mind was trying to make sense of.

Going out with Jay, especially late at night seemed to become a daily occurrence in your life. Every night when the clock strikes 12 o’clock, you would find Jay leaning against his car, waiting for you.

You found yourself counting down the time when it becomes midnight in order to see him again. You hated to admit it but you were growing quite fond of your brother’s rival company.

You just hoped it was a mutual feeling.

It was yet another restless night with Jay, as he dropped you off at your place. It was already 4am in the morning and you knew you were going to struggle waking up to meet up with your brother in the morning.

Jay grown so accustom to your presence that whenever you left, he always felt a longing in his heart that waited to see you again.

When you bid goodbye to him and went to your front door, you heard him call out your name. When you turned around, Jay stood in front of you. There was a different look in his eyes, you didn’t know but his heart was pounding out of his chest.

Jay couldn’t leave tonight without telling you. He wasn’t going to waste time, he knew what he felt and he was going to be honest with you.

“I fell for you” The simple confession sent your heart into overdrive, you looked at him to see any hint of him lying but you saw nothing

All you saw was the genuine smile on his face as his eyes gleamed with nervousness. You could feel your head spin with dizziness, not believing him.

Your mouth itched to say the same three words back to him.

“I fell for you too Jay” Your words were definitely more softer than his bold confession but that was more than enough for to engulf you into a hug, you didn’t expect it but you wouldn’t deny it

You could practically feel his smile radiating off of him. Jay didn’t care if you were his rival’s sister, he likes you and that’s all that matters to him.

When he finally pulled away from the hug and the two of you looked into each other eyes. There was a tension, a longing for something that the both of you have been waiting for.

Jay leaned it and you were quick to meet him halfway and once your lips met each other, he was quick to crash his lips fully onto yours.

His hands were quick to cup your face to bring your undeniably closer. Both your lips fit like a lost puzzle pieces that have been waiting to be connected.

Your fingers played with the heme of his hair. The kiss seemed to becoming desperate, trying to fill in the void that was built for the other.

Even though you knew, Jay was your rival’s brother, you couldn’t bring yourself to pull away. You don’t know how long you and Jay stayed kissing but you did know you needed to pull away for air.

So when he felt your lips parting from his, he found himself chasing them back into his own. Jay was head over heels for you and he couldn’t seem to get enough.

You giggled against the kiss and Jay found himself smiling against your lips. His lips danced in harmony with yours.

“I really have to go. I’m sleepy” You muttered against the kiss but it went in one ear and out the other, Jay simply continued to kiss your lips swollen

You screamed into your pillow the moment you landed on your bed. You smiled so brightly and you could feel your heart thumping out of your chest, you were growing feelings for Jay at a rapid pace.

The scene kept replaying in your head and you swore you could still feel Jay’s lips against yours. You turned onto your back as you looked at the ceiling.

Your phone buzzed and when you looked at it, the same fast heartbeat happened while your bright smile came back.

Jay: I got home safely

Jay: Get plenty of rest

Jay: I’ll see you tomorrow

Jay: Goodnight darling

“Wake up. Wake up!” You shot your eyes wide open and you were greeted with your brother’s face, you immediately shoved him and turned your back to him

Your groaned loudly as you could feel the heaviness of your eyelids daring to shut and drift of into sleep again.

“Did you forget we supposed to be meeting up today?” You could hear your brother’s voice and grabbed a pillow before squishing your head to block out the noise

You barely had gotten any sleep (because Jay just wouldn’t stop kissing you) and now it was catching up to you.

“Let’s reschedule” You mumbled but you feel the dip in your bed as your brother sat in the corner

“I just wanted to warn you” Your brother’s voice may have been muffled but you could still hear the worry he had

“About what”

“Jay” The mere mention of his name was able to send you in a frenzy and you shot up from your bed and looked at your brother

He was shocked to see your response about Jay but he decided to not look into it.

“You already know I don’t like him, but he’s getting on my nerves again. I found that that he’s planning on trying to get with you only to spite me”

“Him and his friends made a stupid little plan to get you to fall for him, and I wanted to warn you to steer clear of him” After those words reached your ears, there was a ringing that only got louder and louder, muffling out your brother’s words and when he realized, he tried to get your attention

“Hey, are you listening to me?” You looked at your brother and didn’t realize the teary gaze you had

“What happened? Why are you crying?” Your brother’s voice became softer and you shook your head to deny the truthful accusation

“That fucking… He already got to you, didn’t he?” Your silence was all your brother needed to angrily get off your bed and pace around your room

“So let me get this straight, you and Jay are already dating? Behind my back?” When you didn’t respond, your brother groaned only louder

“What did I tell you? I wanted you to stay away from him, now look. Just how did it even happen?”

“Are you sure?” When those were the only worlds you said, your brother looked at you and he could see the disbelief in your eyes, you wanted to trust Jay but couldn’t seem yourself to believe his words anymore

He sighed before taking a seat next to you.

“I’m sorry”

“You were right from the beginning. I should’ve listened to you” You gulped down and hung your head low, you didn’t want it to be true but only nodded your head with small sniffles

“I’m sleepy. I’m going to sleep for a little more” You laid softly back onto your bed and brought the sheets up to cover your growing tear stain face

Your brother had never seen this side of you, you have experienced heartbreak before but never like this

When you turned your back to your brother, he knew you didn’t want to bother any longer. He deeply sighed before going out your bedroom door and taking a glance to your huddled up figure.

Now he was never going to forgive Jay.

Jay had called and texted your phone day and night for the past week but you never once responded to him. He’s knocked and rung your doorbell, but he was left stranded outside your place for hours.

Everything was good between the both of you and he had no idea what happened. He fumbled around in his parked car, hoping that you would come out and greet him with the smile he adores.

He massaged his temple, feeling the drowsy take over but when he felt his phone vibrate his eyes were wide awake, he pulled it out expecting it to be you.

But to his disappointment he saw that it was his friend, but the message made him realize what changed between the two of you.

: Him and his sister found out and he’s pissed

: He’s challenging you Jay to a race

His phone fell from his hand as his eyes moved frantically around his car. His breathing became uneven, as landed his head against the steering wheel.

You knew.

You don’t know how your brother managed to bring you out to witness the race between Jay and him, maybe it was the possible defeat of the person you never even dated.

Or maybe it was possibility of seeing Jay again, you don’t know yet. You’re still trying to figure it out.

You didn’t realize you were counting down the time until it reached midnight and when hour changed, you saw Jay’s car come into your view.

You bit your lips as you looked to the ground, not wanting to see Jay nor the car that held most memories of you and Jay.

After a few moments, you could feel a gaze and you knew better at who it was. You couldn’t look up because you know you’d give in.

Jay felt his heart do backflips the moment he spotted you in the crowd. He hoped you would look up but you kept your gaze onto the ground, but he was hoping for a miracle.

“Jay” Your brother called out to him and Jay expected to get punched right away but he didn’t

“I told you stay away from my sister, you have some nerve you know?” Your brother seethed but Jay rolled his eyes

“Let’s just get over this race” Jay muttered while stepping back into his car and starting his engine, he was in no mood to deal with anything

All he wanted was to go back to the night where he finally kissed you and told his true feelings to you.

At first, he gave you the note in order to spite your brother but when Jay saw you at the balcony that night, he knew he wanted to know more about you.

He didn’t want to connect you to your brother. That night, he wanted to know you for you.

Jay’s mind was so clouded with the thought of you, he didn’t realize the race was about to begin. While, your brother was determined to win against Jay, he needed to release the anger.

Your brother was attentive and was first to take off, Jay whose minded was clouded of you was quick to start after he realized your brother had gone. This was the first time since Jay started street racing that he started late.

The race ended by a landslide with your brother winning against Jay.

For the first time in history, Park Jay lost a race.

Everyone was cheering for your brother’s victory, but your brother had other ideas. He thought the race would help calm him down but it didn’t, it only made him angrier.

He felt as if Jay was continuing to mock him and you. He thought Jay viewed this as less of importance and he wasn’t going to let that by.

He got out of his car and went over to Jay’s but he was no where in site. Your brother looked around the crowd, looking for him and that’s when he saw Jay making his way towards you.

“Park Jay!” Your brother called out but Jay wasn’t stopping, he needed to explain himself to you, he wasn’t expecting your forgiveness but he wanted you to know everything he did, he meant it

“Park Jay, I’m talking to you!” Your brother pulled on Jay’s shoulder and turned him around, but Jays as quick to push him off

“And I need to talk to your sister” Your brother grabbed Jay by his collar and that was enough for you to rush over to the two to separate them

“And why the hell would you need to talk to my sister? She has nothing to say to you”

“Well I have things to say to her. I love her and I’m going to make things right”

When you heard Jay’s words, your world stopped. When you stood behind Jay staring at him with wide eyes, your brother noticed and saw the look in both of your eyes. And when Jay managed to escape your brother’s grasp, he turned around and that’s when he saw you.

Both you and Jay looked at each other. His breathing was heavy, he couldn’t believe that you were in front of him again. But he was glad to finally see you again, but it pained him greater with your eyes looking the same way his did, teary bloodshot red, semi dark bags and most of all longing.

His hand itched to pull you into a hug but he restrained himself, he didn’t want to make you uncomfortable. He just wanted for you to listen and hear him out.

“Can we please talk?” His voice seemed raspy and it tugged at your heart strings, you needed to talk to him too, so you caved in

You grabbed onto his wrist and dragged him back towards his car. You could hear your brother calling out to but you didn’t pay any mind to him.

“Better start talking now Park” Both you and Jay sat in your living room

The car ride to your place was suffocating it felt you and Jay were complete strangers when in reality you knew way too much to be strangers.

“It’s true. There was a plan for us to date just to spite your brother” Those were the words you didn’t want to hear, you tightly closed your eyes and sighed deeply

But you felt Jay’s hand engulf yours and that caused you to look at him and you could practically feel the sincerity in his eyes.

“But when I saw you on the balcony that night at the party, something in me switched. It was like I flipped because I dropped that stupid plan”

“I more determined to get to know you for you, and not because you’re my rival’s sister. I know it was idiotic of me to approach you because to spite your brother”

“But without it, I never would have had the courage to go up to you. Everytime you came to the meets, you felt untouchable. Like you were someone who was simply out of reach for me”

“I didn’t know if our paths would ever cross and so I decided to take matters into my own hands even if they weren’t the best option”

“I’m not asking for your forgiveness, because I know I don’t deserve it. But I wanted to let you know my side.”

“Know that every moment we had together, were the best I’ve ever had” Jay didn’t realize how he practically poured his heart out to you but it showed you the sincerity he had in his words

“What about what you said earlier? Did you mean that?” He knew what you were referring to, he could feel his heartbeat increase in pace, he did promise he will tell you

“I did. I really do love you”

“I love you so much that it hurt me when I realized that I possibly lost you because of my stupid mistake. I would’ve never forgiven myself if I knew that night would’ve been the last night I had with you”

You didn’t realize the sigh of relief you let out and Jay could practically feel the tension leave your body as your hands melted into his.

“I hate you so much” You scoffed as you threw your head slightly backwards as Jay chuckled and nodded his head

“So will you allow me to take you out on a proper date?” You found yourself laughing as he finally brought you into his embrace, it was something he’s been itching for ever since the night he first kissed you

“You’re going to have to go through my brother first” You muttered against the hug and you could feel Jay shrug his shoulders, making your giggle

“That’s easy, so don’t worry darling” You knew Jay was lying but you found it humorous, you chuckled and nodded your head

You could feel Jay press a soft kiss against your temple, you hummed happily which made Jay beyond happy. You may have been his rival’s sister but in the end of the day, you were the person he loves.

“Let’s go for a late night drive, it’s pasted midnight”
