   Summary

   "How'd I get this job, anyway?"

   "'Cause you're the best liar."

   So JJ practices lying. Because he’s good at it. Because when John B lists off the attributes of his friends it goes smart, beautiful, and then kleptomaniac. Except that he doesn’t, actually. JJ actually so rarely lies to anyone that when he does it sticks, except that it means the people who know the truth, John B, Kiara, Pope, they think it’s all he ever does.

   Because JJ is a paradox of a pretty open book who's also the quickest at thinking on his feet, and it means that sometimes he just wishes someone would fucking believe him, for once.
