Hi everyone! So, this is not my first HOA fic, but it is my first one for Jeroy. I didn't really ship them until this season. Because they never really interacted. But after seeing them together, I really like the pairing. In all honesty, I ship it way more than Jerome and Mara. They just don't seem right together.
So, this piece takes place during the end of the season finale. Sort of like missing moments I guess you could say. I hope you enjoy!
"There will only ever be one girl for me." Jerome says, stepping even closer to Joy than he had been only a moment before.
Joy glances down at the letter in her hands and then back up at Jerome, "You." She says softly, but still loud enough for him to hear.
Jerome grows a huge smile on his face, his eyes lighting up brightly, and Joy smiles back just as widely as he is. Joy tosses the letter to the side and then reaches up to wrap her arms around Jerome's neck, and he wraps his arms around her waist, putting their lips together.
When they pull back, Jerome smiles at her once again, "How about we go and see those fireworks now?"
"Sounds good to me," Joy replies unwrapping her arms from around his neck as he unwraps his arms from around her waist. They grab hands, interlocking their fingers together and then make their way towards the front door and out of the house towards the school field.
Jerome and Joy stand together outside of the school, on the edge of the field, their arms wrapped around one another's waist, gazing into each other's eyes lovingly; smiling as they do so. For in that moment, there is no need for words.
Something catches Jerome's eyes and he looks up, the smile falling slightly from his face when he sees Mara approaching the two of them. Joy notices his face and turns her head, seeing Mara as well. She moves off to the side slightly, standing beside Jerome.
"Mara," Jerome begins, "I just wanted to say, I never should have…"
Mara shakes her head and cuts him off, "You don't have to say anything. Really," she looks over at Joy, "What kind of friend would I be if I stood in your way." Joy smiles softly at her. She smiles back, "Be happy." She wipes the smile from her face and looks Jerome dead in the eyes, "But if you hurt her in any way, you're a dead man."
Jerome's body stiffens and Joy goes slightly wide eyed and smiles, looking up at Jerome. They watch as Mara walks off, Fabian trailing after her, and then turn to face each other once again.
"Sorry about that," Joy says to Jerome as she stands in front of him, her thumbs hooked in her pants pocket.
Jerome just shrugs, "Don't be. I understand where she's coming from. I hurt her, and she doesn't want the same to happen to you."
"Yes, but, that isn't going to happen again. Is it?" She asks him, standing up on her toes and wrapping her arms around his neck.
He wraps his arms around her waist in response, "Not a chance," Jerome smiles, leaning down to peck her on the lips.
"Good, cause I don't know what I would do if your hurt me like that."
"Well you'll never have to find out, because I'm never going to hurt you like that. Ever."
"That's great, because you are the only guy for me."
"And you are the only girl for me." They both smile, leaning forward to press their lips against each others. When they pull back, Joy moves her arms down to around Jerome's waist, and hugs him closely; he hugs her back. They both just stand there hugging until Alfie begins shouting, "Okay everyone! Grand finale coming up!"
The two of them make their way to where the rest of Anubis House is standing, getting ready to watch the fireworks finale. The order being, Patricia, Eddie, KT, Joy, Jerome, Mara, Fabian, Alfie, and Willow. Jerome moves in so he is standing slightly behind Joy, wrapping his arms around her waist; she puts her hands on his in return.
As the fireworks go off, Joy looks up at Jerome and smiles. He happens to glance down at her and smiles back, "What are you smiling at?"
"You. Thank you for taking me back. And I promise you, I'll never hurt you."
"Same here," she stands up on her toes and places a kiss on his cheek. He smiles at her as she stands back on her feet, and pulls her closer to him. The two of them just stand there, wrapped in each others loving embrace, watching as the fireworks show comes to an end. And they couldn't be happier than they were, celebrating that wonderful moment. Together.
So? Did you all enjoy this? I really hope you did. Now, leave a review and let me know your thoughts. Reviews are greatly appreciated.
P.S. the next part should hopefully be up tomorrow. There are two more chapters after this one, and I will (hopefully) have this done by Friday.
Until next time,
