A/N: You guys! This one is pretty stinkin' cute!

Sweat glistened on their skin as they slowly came back down from their cloud of orgasmic bliss. Even though it was warm in the room, JJ remained tangled together with Will, her fingers slowly trailing patterns across his upper back as he lay beside her. It was her second last night in Pittsburgh before flying out for the world selection camp, and knowing she was already anxious about being away from Will for so long, Nick had kindly given her the following day off of training so they could spend it together. So, with the promise to go back home for dinner with her parents on the last evening, she had decided to spend the remaining two nights with Will, and then he would drive her and Nick to the airport on Thursday morning.

"You're so beautiful," he said softly, smiling lazily at her. "There's so many things I love about you"

"Oh yeah?" JJ murmured.

"I love your smile," Will said, lifting his head just enough to press a kiss to her cheek. "In particular I love the way you smile when you think no-one is watching"

He moved his lips to hers, kissing her warmly, to which JJ happily responded.

"I love when you laugh at your own jokes," he whispered, which only made her giggle as she pulled him back down for another kiss.

"You're too much," JJ whispered against his lips, pulling a grin from him as he shifted so he was laying above her once more.

"I love how humble you are… you've achieved some unbelievable things, and yet you're still the most down to earth person I know"

"If you keep up with these compliments, that's going to get very hard," JJ giggled. Will chuckled, leaning down to kiss her once more.

When they broke apart, he opened his mouth to speak once more, only to be cut short by JJ.

"I love the way you treat your mom," she said softly, splaying her hands across the warm skin of his back as she pulled him closer.

"I love your hair… how it always smells like your shampoo," Will whispered, dipping his head down to the curve of her neck and pressing a light kiss just beneath her ear. Her breath hitched in her throat, the fire slowly coming back to life in her belly.

"I love how great you are at cooking," she managed to say, even as Will continued to lavish the skin on the side of her neck.

"I love how you love to eat my cooking," Will murmured against her skin, and JJ couldn't ignore how husky his voice had gotten. He shifted against her, making her move her legs so he was settled between them again, and she could feel that he was already starting to get hard again.

She gently tugged him back so that he was looking straight into her eyes before she spoke again.

"I love how you love to eat me out," she said, her voice suddenly nothing more than a low, lusty whisper. Will's penis gave an excited jump, pressing against her and sending a new wave of arousal rushing through her.

"Oh yeah?" he said in a low voice. "Well, I love how you wrap your legs around me, how you pull me even closer"

"I love holding you close to me"

"I love the noises you make when I'm inside you," Will growled huskily, shifting above her.

"You're all talk right now LaMontagne," JJ said teasingly.

"You know me, Jareau. I'm a man of my word," Will murmured, before pressing his dick into her suddenly, getting a loud gasp from JJ.

Without anymore words, Will began to slowly rock against her, his eyes fluttering closed at just how hot and wet she felt around him. JJ was pulling at him, her nails digging into his back, her legs lifting around his waist to allow him to penetrate even deeper.

"Ohhh," JJ moaned, throwing her head back onto her pillow as Will reached between them and brought his fingers to her clit. When he touched it, she hissed, another breathy moan escaping as he began to rub it in time with the thrusts of his hips. She matched him, rock for rock, even as her toes began to curl and her body began to hum.

"Yes… yes! So close!" she gasped, fighting to keep her voice low as she urged him closer. Lifting a hand, she brought it between her legs, pushing Will's fingers away and rubbing her clit with a new urgency.

Just a few thrusts later, she was coming apart, breathless gasps filling the silence of the room as her core seemed to explode with pleasure. Will continued fucking into her, clenching his teeth as he pushed himself towards orgasm. With JJ clenching around him, he followed her not much later, groaning as he finally achieved release. As if on autopilot, his hips kept rolling, milking him through every last precious second of the sexual high. JJ was doing the same, her fingers still lightly moving against her pearl, her breathing short and ragged.

Eventually, the pleasure ebbed away until there was nothing left but the silence and darkness of the room around them. Her chest heaved as her body hummed its way down from a blissful high. She lay still for a moment, keeping her eyes closed as she worked to steady her breathing once more. She could still feel the weight of Will's body on top of her, but he had shifted slightly, moving more to her left than he had been before.

His fingers came to play lightly in her hair, and she allowed her eyes to flutter open. She broke into a soft smile when she found Will gazing lovingly down at her. She couldn't help but smile a little bigger, bringing her hand up to caress his bicep.

"What?" Will asked softly, his lips quirking up into a smile. JJ's eyes shone a little brighter as she gently squeezed his upper arm.

"Thank you"

Will frowned slightly. "For what?"

"For making me feel so beautiful," JJ replied softly.

Will could almost feel his heart swell, his mouth spreading into a touched smile as he tucked JJ's hair behind her ear. "You are beautiful. No matter what," he promised, leaning down and pressing a kiss to her temple.

Her beauty radiated in so many ways that it had always astounded Will that she could never see it. But in the last six months since they had started dating, he had watched her grow and change in ways she had probably never foreseen. Of course, she hadn't noticed the changes herself… but everyone around her, everyone who knew her, could see the way she was more confident in herself, and in her place in life.

She was beautiful. To Will, she always had been. But now, more than ever, with her newfound confidence exuding from her petite frame, and the vanishing insecurities that had threatened to swallow her whole the previous year… she was radiant. And Will didn't think he could've possibly loved her more if he tried.

The room was warm and hazy when JJ began to surface from her dreams the next morning. She was curled up on her side, Will laying behind her with one arm loosely draped over her body. She kept her eyes closed, staying still as she relished in the sweetness of the moment. No matter how many times she woke up like this, it would never get old. This was her favourite way to wake up, snuggled in her boyfriend's arms.

She heard voices in the hall, followed by the sound of the doorknob turning.

Next thing she knew, something huge had jumped onto the bed, making Will cry out in pain as it started licking her face.

"Oh my god, what the-!"

She managed to push it away, opening her eyes to find a huge Rottweiler standing over her, wagging his tail excitedly.

"Sorry JJ, I was goin' to wake up Will to come and see, but Cooper got too excited and got away from me!" came William's voice. JJ, suddenly very glad she had pulled on Will's t-shirt before falling asleep, let out a laugh, reaching up and scratching the dog behind the ears.

"Since when do we have a dog?" Will asked, his voice laced with confusion as he rubbed his eyes.

"Well, you know how your momma and I have been talkin' about gettin' a dog for a while now. We decided this mornin' to just bite the bullet and get it done, so we went down to the shelter to have a look-"

"And came home with a dog," Will said dryly.

"Actually," came Janine's voice. "We came home with two"

"What?" Will asked incredulously as JJ laughed behind him. Cooper had now decided JJ was his favourite person, circling in place a couple of times before laying down on top of her body and laying his huge head on her chest.

"Cooper took a real shine to your dad," Janine said happily. "And I found this little darlin', and when I saw her face, I couldn't just leave her there"

JJ and Will both looked over at Janine, who was standing behind William with a little white fluffy dog in her arms. As soon as they made eye contact with the dog, she started to growl, her teeth on full display.

"Momma, that ain't a dog, that's a demon," Will said, pointing at the dog and making her growl even more.

"Oh shush, she's beautiful, aren't you Snowy?" Janine cooed, disappearing out onto the landing.

"I really tried to reason with her, but she's smitten. Don't worry, she growled at me too," William chuckled. "Come on Cooper!"

Cooper looked up at his new dad, but refused to move. JJ laughed, scratching him behind the ears again.

"Cooper! Don't get too attached to her, she doesn't live here!" William teased. "Watch out Will, he's gonna steal your girlfriend"

"He's a good boy," JJ cooed, holding his face between her hands. "Aren't you, you're a good boy!"

"You never tell me I'm a good boy," Will said, pretending to pout.

"That's because you're not," JJ replied, making William laugh as Will lightly whacked her on the shoulder.

"I'll leave you guys be, we're gonna make some breakfast. JJ, feel free to make Cooper move if you don't want him layin' on ya anymore"

As he left the room, Will shook his head in disbelief. "My parents have no impulse control. Like, absolutely none"

JJ laughed. "Two dogs isn't the worst example of impulse control"

"One dog, and a slipper with a pure hatred of human kind," Will corrected, making JJ laugh again. He grinned, leaning down to press a kiss to her lips. The second he did so, Cooper decided to lick his face, effectively killing the moment.

"Oh, you're gonna be that kind of dog, hey? I'm the one you're gonna live with, but you're gonna love JJ more than me, is that how it is?" Will said with a laugh, giving Cooper a scratch behind the ears. Cooper happily agreed by licking Will's face again, earning nothing but laughter out of the young couple he was snuggled with.

All too soon, the morning to leave for camp had arrived. JJ had been simultaneously excited for it and dreading it; this was going to be the first time since she and Will had started dating that she would be away from him for more than a couple of weeks.

After an early start to the morning so they could have some uninterrupted time together, they had had breakfast, packed JJ's bags into the truck, and left to pick up Nick.

Now, they were standing at the gate for the flight to Houston, which had just been called for the first round of boarding. Nick was reading the screen displaying the boarding information, while JJ and Will took a moment together.

"I don't want to go," JJ said softly, resting her head against his chest and taking in the smell of his cologne.

Will chuckled. "Yes you do. You'll forget all about me when you're up there winning medals left right and centre"

"How could I ever forget about you?" JJ whispered, tipping her head up to look at him with a cheeky smile. "With all the things you do to me"

"Now, now, don't get yourself all worked up before you have to sit on a plane next to Nick for four hours," Will teased, getting a giggle out of JJ.

"I'm just gonna miss you. I know we've been apart before, but… it's different this time. And longer," JJ said sadly.

Will tipped her chin up, giving her the warm, handsome smile that she loved so much. "I put one of my shirts in your bag this morning, so you can sleep in it and it'll feel like I'm there. But it's not going to be so bad. We'll talk as often as we can, and before you know it, you'll be back in Pittsburgh and we can go right back to snuggling up and watching movie. Go kick some ass, ok? You're amazing, and you're gonna be on that team"

JJ smiled, lifting both of her hands to cup his cheeks as she pulled him in for a sweet kiss. He happily reciprocated, one of his hands pressed warm and flat against the small of her back, the other one resting on her ass.

"Watch where you're putting your hands on my champion gymnast LaMontagne!" Nick called teasingly from a few feet away. The young couple broke apart, sheepish grins on their faces. JJ shot Nick a look, getting a grin out of him in return as she turned and stretched up to press another kiss to Will's lips.

"You're not sending her off to war champ"

Will chuckled, pulling away and lifting his hand to acknowledge Nick. He looked back down at JJ, brushing her hair back from her eyes.

"I love you"

"I love you too," JJ replied, looping her arms around his waist for a tight hug.

"You can send him a telegram from the front lines, JJ, boarding is almost over, we're going to miss our flight"

Laughing, JJ finally pulled away, squeezing Will's hand before she let it go and headed towards Nick. As they walked towards the entrance to the aerobridge, she looked back over her shoulder, seeing Will waving at her with a handsome smile. Waving back, she turned towards the entrance and followed Nick up to the counter.

"You are so much like my dad it's not even funny," she said dryly as Nick held out two boarding passes to the gate agent.

"JJ, I practically am your dad, I've spent that much time with you"

"Do you have to be as embarrassing as him?" JJ asked as the agent waved them forward with a smile.

"Always," Nick said with a grin. "You shouldn't even have a boyfriend, you've got medals to win"

"Don't start," JJ laughed. "I can win medals and have a boyfriend"

"I know kiddo, I'm just teasing," Nick chuckled as they made their way down the bridge to the door of the airplane. "I think Will's good for you. He's brought you out of your shell"

"You think?"

"JJ, you let him put his hand on your ass in an airport, if this was a year ago, you would've been bright red"

JJ blushed, grinning. "I guess"

A larger plane than usual, they were glad to find they had the two seats up against the window, with the aisle to the left. JJ jumped into the window seat, shoving her backpack under the seat in front of her and clipping up her seatbelt. As Nick went about putting his bag in the overhead bin, she pulled her phone out of her pocket, opening it to find a text from Will.

I miss you already. But I'm so proud of you, and I can't wait to watch you do what you love most. I meant what I said babe, you're gonna be amazing. Go show the world how awesome you are xx

She couldn't help the dopey smile that spread across her face as she read his words. Nick dropped into the seat beside her, quirking his eyebrow knowingly as he took in the expression on her face.

"That boy's got you hooked so good," he teased. JJ nudged him in the side, chuckling as she settled back in her seat.

"He just makes me happy," she said softly. "The happiest I've ever been. And I know that sounds stupid since I'm only nineteen-"

"No, it's not stupid," Nick said gently. "I know he makes you happy. Everyone does. It was the first thing your mom said to me when she first told me you and Will were together. We can see it in your face. And I'm not saying that you weren't happy in London, but… you were under a lot of pressure. You spent most of last year so tense that I'm amazed your body didn't just turn into one huge knot"

JJ laughed.

"You really have changed this year kiddo, and it's all in good ways. And I think a lot of that is from Will. You've relaxed, you're more passionate about what you're doing, and you're more confident in yourself"

Smiling, JJ glanced down at her phone again, already wondering what to send back to Will.

"I'm glad you're happy, JJ, that's all I'm saying. After everything you've put yourself through and had happen to you to get to this point, I'm just glad you've found someone who is so good to you. It's what you deserve"

Blushing, JJ managed a weak smile. Nick really was like family to her. He had coached her and watched her grow from the day she had first walked into his gym at four years old.

"Thanks Nick. He really is the best"

The plane gave a gentle thud, before they started rolling back from the terminal. Nick turned his attention to the stewardess who was now moving down the aisle to give a safety briefing, while JJ quickly sent Will a return message.

Wouldn't be on this plane right now without your support this year. Thank you for making me the best version of myself. I love you so much, and I'll see you in a few weeks xx
