A/N: Enjoy!

Time felt like it could stand still forever as Will kissed her so gently she thought she might melt under his touch. One of his hands was tangled in her hair, holding her impossibly close as his other hand slid underneath her dress and up towards her breasts. He smelt so good… the smell of his cologne and his shampoo mixing together to create an irresistible smell.

"I'm so proud of you Jayje," he breathed as he broke the kiss. "I can't believe you won"

"Just kiss me," she whispered back, pulling him back down into another passionate kiss. His tongue swept across her lower lip, making her groan softly into his mouth. His hand began to move downwards, inching its way to the apex of her thighs. She was aching for him to touch her. It felt like her entire body was on fire just waiting for his hands to be between her legs.

Suddenly it was like she'd been punched in the gut. A bruising ache spread through her-

"Come on Jareau, wake up!"

She forced her eyes open, staring blearily up towards the ceiling. McKayla's face came into focus above her, a shit eating grin spread from ear to ear. It suddenly became very apparent to JJ that the pain in her stomach was McKayla's knee.

"Could you get your knee… out of my uterus?" JJ groaned, her voice raspy with sleep. Aly let out a laugh from across the room as McKayla quickly shifted her leg off of JJ's stomach. When she was sure she was clear of all of JJ's body parts, she looked up again, her grin growing wider.

"What were you dreaming about?" she asked knowingly.

"Nothing," JJ mumbled, but even as she spoke, she could feel her face growing hot and red.

"Oh wow… you've never gone that shade of red before," McKayla laughed, winking suggestively at JJ. "Maybe you need some alone time?"

"It's nothing, I'm fine!" JJ exclaimed, shooting up so suddenly that she threw McKayla off the bed and onto the floor. Aly started to laugh again, even as JJ's face hardened. McKayla sat up, looking a little shocked, but otherwise unperturbed.

"Aly, maybe you should come and stay with me and Kyla, I think JJ might need a room to herself," McKayla teased as she pulled herself up off the floor. Her grin immediately turned to surprise as JJ flew out of the bed in her direction, stopped only by Aly quickly putting herself between the two.

"Kyla! Come get your roomie before blood gets spilled!" she yelled over her shoulder as she put her hands on JJ's shoulders and pushed her back towards her bed. Slowly, she walked backwards, forcing McKayla back to the door.

"What's going on?" Kyla asked, half amused and half confused as she appeared in the doorway.

"Just take Loudmouth Maroney back to your room and start getting ready for training," Aly said. "We'll be out in a minute"

She closed the door behind Kyla and McKayla. Sighing, she turned back to JJ, who was now digging through her duffel bag looking for the training leotard that matched the one Aly was wearing.

"What's going on with you?" Aly asked gently. "We just won Olympic gold last night… yet you're in the worst mood"

"I'm not, ok, I'm just…," JJ replied, sighing heavily as she straightened up. "Don't worry about it"

"Hey, stop for a second," Aly said gently, grabbing JJ's hands and pulling her over to sit on the edge of her bed. "Talk to me Jayje… I know Mac was just teasing, but you wouldn't have gotten upset about it if she wasn't at least somewhere on the mark"

JJ flushed pink again, her eyes trained on the floor.

"Is this about Will?" Aly asked quietly. "Is that… who you were dreaming about?"

JJ nodded glumly, taking more care now to avoid Aly's gaze than she ever had before.

"I like him," she breathed, just loud enough for Aly to hear.

"Well, I knew that," Aly chuckled. "You told me at camp, remember?"

"Yeah, but when I said it then, I was kind of in denial about it," JJ replied, finally looking up. "Everything just gets complicated when you start seeing a friend as something more, and I just… don't want to put myself through that"

"Don't worry about it," Aly replied. "Not every friend to something more kind of relationship is gonna end badly… the best relationships start as friendships!"

"How would you know?" JJ asked dryly.

"I read it in a magazine, but that's beside the point. JJ, from everything you've ever told me about Will, he seems like an amazing guy… I think it's only natural you would be attracted to him"

There was silence for a moment, before Aly spoke again.

"I'm sure he feels the same way about you, Jayje. How could he not? You're stunning, inside and out. And-"

"He's seeing someone," JJ cut in sadly. "He was telling me about her the other night"

"Oh," Aly said softly, slumping down where she sat. "That sucks"

"Yeah," JJ replied. "And… he was telling me about… how she went down on him, and I just feel like I'm never gonna grow up… he's done way more stuff than me"

"I completely get it, Jayje. I do," Aly said gently. "But we have our whole lives to worry about guys. This, right now? We're only here for two weeks. I know you're worried… but try and push it from your mind for right now. Focus on going out there and being the best damn gymnast you've ever been, and you never know… maybe Will will see what he's missing when he sees how amazing you are"

"You think?" JJ asked quietly. Aly nodded.

"If you get a chance when you get home, maybe tell him how you feel. You'll never know if you don't. But for right now, you have a job to do. And I'll be damned if some guy is gonna distract you from all the medals you could win"

JJ let out a little laugh, finally relaxing as she reached over and gave Aly a tight squeeze.

"Thanks Aly"

"Anytime. Oh, and if I hear any questionable noises that sound like they're coming from sexy dreams... I'll just throw myself into your bed"

JJ frowned, furrowing her eyebrows at Aly. "I'm gonna have to stop you right there and ask that if you hear me making... questionable noises... please don't get into bed with me"

Aly laughed as JJ's phone buzzed on the bedside table, pulling their attention towards it. Smiling, Aly picked it up and handed it to her.

"I'm gonna finish getting dressed. You better be quick or Martha will be on the warpath"

Nodding, JJ opened the phone, smiling as messages of congratulations flooded her senses.

We are so so so proud of you baby girl! You were stunning last night, all of you were! I can't believe you did it. You were only five the first time you said you wanted to go to the Olympics… and now you're an Olympic Champion! Can't wait to see you in a couple of days, give our love to the girls! Love you so so much! Xx Mom and Dad

Good morning Olympic Champions! - Lynn Raisman

My best friend is an Olympic Champion, how fucking cool is that! I'm so proud of you! Also Lani will never admit it but she cried her eyes out when you won! – Will

I still think being an aeronautical engineer is way cooler :P I'm just kidding, Jayje, I am stupidly proud of you. And kinda embarrassed that my tiny ass little sister is infinitely cooler than I'll ever be. Don't forget I can still put you in a headlock! - Jason

Biting back a smile, JJ felt her spirits lift as she dropped her phone on her bed and got up to continue getting ready.

Aly was right. She had worked her entire life for these two weeks, and she wasn't going to let herself get off track. She would work her ass off right now, and when she got home… she would tackle her feelings for Will then.
