requested?: yes
pairing: jimmy smith jr x female!reader
(a/n: this literally took forever and i re-wrote the ending like 5 times and i still hate the way it came out. so i hope you guys like it more than i do)
It was the sound of someone knocking at the front door that caught your attention from the movie you were watching. Assuming it was your boyfriend, Jimmy, you had tossed the throw-over blanket off your body and made your way to the door.
Your heart skipped a beat as you opened the door to see Jimmy standing there. Although you had known he was coming, you couldn't help but still get butterflies whenever you saw him.
"Hey, Jimmy" You smiled as you moved to the side, allowing your boyfriend in your apartment.
"Hey" Jimmy replied, barely loud enough for you to hear.
You shut the door, making sure to lock it.
You smiled as you turned to face your boyfriend, the smile quickly leaving as you saw the sad look on his face. You frowned as you reached behind him and started softly scratching the back of his head, the redness on the tips of his ears not going unnoticed.
"Whats wrong?" You softly spoke, looking him in the eyes
Jimmy sighed before his hands reached for your hips, pulling you closer.
"My mom." He replied, still mumbling. You could tell he was anxious about something by the way he was tapping his fingers on your sides.
"What happened with her?" You asked
"We got in another fight" He started.
He heavily sighed as he buried his head in your neck. You had kept the hold you had on the back of his head, now slowly rubbing the baby hairs on his neck.
"I'm sorry, baby" You spoke softly, not really knowing what else to say.
Your legs soon got tired from Jimmy leaning all his weight on you.
"Do you wanna talk about it? We can go sit down" You offered.
It took a second, but Jimmy lifted his head from your neck to look you in the eyes. You could see how hurt and tired he was and it hurt you.
"No, I don't really wanna talk about it" He said, his hands moving from your back to hold your hands, playing with the bracelet on your wrist.
"...But" He started as he squeezed your hand
"I would like to go sit down" He finished, his voice was ever so soft, almost as if he was shy to talk.
"Come on, baby." You said as you led him over to the couch.
It wasn't long until you were pinned down to the couch by Jimmy who was laying on top of you, his head resting on your chest. The two of you sat in comfortable silence as you rested your hand on the back of his neck.
"I'm sure your mom loves you" You started
"I know that" Jimmy said before you could find the words to finish your sentence. His voice was still soft.
"I just wish she wouldn't do the shit she does, y'know?"
You hummed in agreement, your fingers scratching his hair once again.
"Can I stay here tonight?" He asked
"If I see my mom again I might blow" He half joked while looking up at you, waiting for your answer.
"Of course" You smiled, heart pounding at the thought of Jimmy staying the night.
Silence fell upon the two of you once more, the only source of light being the TV that was playing a random show on a random channel.
"Do you wanna watch something?" You asked as you tried to clear the silence
"No" He replied almost immediately.
"I just wanna lay with you"
Your heart skipped a beat due to what he had said.
"Hey, Jimmy" You said softly.
He hummed in reply
"I love you"
He lifted his head up off your chest to look at you
"I love you" He said with a little smile.
After that, the two of you just sat in silence. It was only minutes before you heard the soft snores of your boyfriend which warmed your heart.
"I love you, Jimmy" You said once more before kissing the top of his head and closing your eyes.

DeShaun Dupree Holton (October 2, 1973 – April 11, 2006) professionally known as Proof and also known as Big Proof and Dirty Harry.
His first television appearance was in the video for Aaliyah’s “Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number.” It was filmed in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan in November 1994, the black and white visual featured cameos of Proof alongside Bizarre from D12 and Aaliyah’s brother (Rashad).
Holton first rose to national prominence when he formed D12 "The Dirty Dozen" in 1995 with his friends Eminem, Bizarre, Mr. Porter, and a high school friend Eye-Kyu. Shortly after that, Proof recruited two friends, B-Flat & Dirty Ratt, to the group.
Proof released a solo album (Called "Searching for Jerry Garcia" in August 2005) featuring collaborations with 50 Cent, Method Man, Nate Dogg, B-Real of Cypress Hill, T3 of Slum Village, Obie Trice, King Gordy, Eminem and D12. Proof said that he did not produce the record with Shady Records or Aftermath because he wanted to "build his own thing"
Sadly, on April 11, 2006, Proof was shot and killed after a heated argument during a game of billiards at the CCC Club on 8 Mile Road in Detroit.

When I looked up #eminem and #8mile on this site I expected to find analysis of the movie and songs + fun facts about Eminem's history and instead I got EminemxReader and JimmyxReader fanfic.
And you know what? I shouldn't have expected anything less from you hooligans.

He drew praise for his scene in the film, in which he belittled Eminem’s character with sarcastic lyrics, a gruff voice and an imposing presence.
Nashawn Breedlove, the actor who received acclaim for his scene in the rap-to-riches film “8 Mile,” in which he delivers a tenacious freestyle in a battle against the character portrayed by the rapper Eminem, commanding the gloomy stage with his blustery lyrics and imposing presence, died on Sunday at his home in Newark, N.J. He was 46.
His aunt Claretha Breedlove said that he had died in his sleep but did not provide a cause.
Tumblr media
The 2002 film “8 Mile” starred the rapper Eminem, in a story that is loosely based on his life growing up poor in a trailer park on the northern edge of Detroit. The film is renowned for its gritty portrayal of an artist hustling to make it big in the rap world, depicting a community that can be ruthlessly critical of bland artists yet rapturous when a talent twists lyrics into a clever diss or vituperation. It regularly ranks among the best hip-hop movies ever made.
Tumblr media
Mr. Breedlove, who in the film portrayed the rapper Lotto, a member of a rival rap group, projected a sense of bravado in his scene with Eminem’s character, Jimmy, who raps as B-Rabbit.
Set in a small, cramped and darkly lit venue, their battle scene shows both characters onstage — Lotto, his arms muscular and voice gruff, visibly more amped up, and Jimmy, his black beanie snugged and eyes downcast, appearing relaxed and even somewhat disinterested.
After calling Jimmy a “coward,” Lotto takes the mic first and injects his rap with mentions of race and Jimmy’s lack of self-worth, all while playfully adding sarcastic notes of politeness, like when he says “I hate to do this” and tells Jimmy to “have a nice day” right after lobbing a profanity at him.
In one verse, Lotto compares Jimmy to the titular character in the midcentury sitcom “Leave It to Beaver,” saying, “Call me your leader, I feel bad that I got to murder that dude from ‘Leave It to Beaver.’”
After finishing his freestyle, Lotto drops the mic and receives resounding cheers from the audience.
Then the mic is handed to Jimmy, who stares at Lotto before charging into his belittling verse that describes Lotto as someone “paranoid” who needs “another steroid.”
Then Jimmy continues to target Lotto’s muscles: “Looking like a cyclone hit you, tank top screaming, ‘Lotto, I don’t fit you!’”
Jimmy is named the winner of the battle, but compared to how others fared against Eminem’s character — including his final opponent in the film, who famously chokes when confronted with Jimmy’s self-deprecating verses — Lotto’s rap stood out for its forceful yet lucid delivery.
Mr. Breedlove also appeared on the soundtrack to the 2001 comedy “The Wash,” which starred Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, according to the music publication HipHopDX.
On Monday, Mickey Factz, a rapper, said on Instagram that Mr. Breedlove would be remembered as “one of the few emcee’s to beat Eminem.”
Nashawn Breedlove was born on Feb. 17, 1977, in Newark. He found his love for music at 9 years old when he joined a children’s choir group at a church in Newark, his family said.
Aside from his work on films, Mr. Breedlove worked in the hip-hop industry as both a rapper, under the name Ox, and a ghostwriter, his family said. He had been signed at one point to a record label in the early 2000s, according to his family, and performed at local shows in North Jersey.
Mr. Breedlove is survived by his son, Zaire Breedlove; his mother, Patricia Breedlove; and two sisters, Latrice Breedlove and Selena Weatherspoon.
