Joey B Imagines: Birthday Boy

————————————————————————-

Summary: December 10th, Joe’s 27th birthday spent with you and your twin boys.

Warnings: Fluff, *he's not injured!!*

Pairing: Joe Burrow x reader

Imagine universe: Into The Mystic

————————————————————————-

December 10th, 2023

Joe had awoken in bed by himself this morning to his surprise. He had expected you, his wife, to be waking him with smooches all over his face but your side of the bed was empty.

He rolled over to grab his phone off his nightstand when the setup sitting on it made him smile. Every year since you and Joe got together in high school when you guys were 16 and 17, on Joe’s birthday you'd get him white roses. The number of them would be the age he was turning that day. There they were, 27 white roses in a vase.

Realizing there was a card and a gift bag propped up next to it, Joe leaned up in bed and picked up the card first.

Happy Birthday, Joey!

Gosh, how are you 27?! You're getting old babe. JKJK. I just wanted to tell you that I’m so happy to share another birthday with you, this is the 11th one that we've celebrated together and I hope I've made every year better than the last. 26 was such a year for you, and I'm proud to say I was by your side for all of it. Cheers to another year of getting to show you how much I love you. You're my husband, my rock, my happiness, my high school sweetheart, and most importantly my best friend. I love you more than words can explain, Joey Shiesty.

To my nerdy, quirky, antisocial, video game, Kid Cudi-obsessed boy, Happy 27th birthday.

Love, your y/n.

Joe didn't realize tears were streaming down his cheeks till he put the card down and saw a wet spot on the blanket on his lap. He quickly composed himself and grabbed the gift bag.

Pulling the contents out of the bag, he felt his eyes well up again when he realized it was a photo album.

It was white leather and on the front in gold font, it simply read “Us.”

Joe flipped to the first page and it had a song lyric quoted.

“When they wanna see how true love should be, they'll just look at us.”

Flipping the page again, it was a collage of pictures of you and him as high school lovebirds. A picture of him picking you up after a win while you were in your cheer uniform, one of you two sitting next to each other at lunch just smiling from ear to ear, you and him sitting in the back of one of his friend's truck while at a drive-in movie, a pic of you two at senior prom, and finally one of you guys graduating.

Joe flipped the page and wasn't at all surprised to see it was the Ohio State era of his life. Since Joe was a year older than you, you were stuck in Athens still when Joe was a freshman at OSU. Long distance sucked, but you guys made it work, and multiple pictures were showcasing that. You took screenshots of you and Joe's face timing that he had never seen before. There was a lovesick look in his eye that made Joe giggle knowing he's still just as infatuated with you. His favorite picture was the one of him lying on top of you in his dorm bed, you were running your fingers through his mullet as you cuddled him.

The LSU page made Joe’s heart warm, so many pictures of you standing to the side and smiling at him just so proud of everything he had accomplished during his time there. There was one slightly spicy photo that made Joe do a double take. That was the first photo you had ever sent him with the intention of turning him on. While Joe was out doing something with the team after winning the national championship you put nothing on but his letterman jacket and the “Big Dick Joe” that he had.

The next few pages only made Joe smile get bigger.

In order it was him getting drafted, the 2022 AFC Championship win + engagement, the wedding, finding out I was pregnant, the gender reveal, the boy's arrival, and everything in between.

When the last few pages were empty for more memories Joe shut the book and put it off to the side. He again had to compose himself and wipe his eyes after the emotional walk through memory lane, you guys had been through so much together and Joe couldn't a picture his life without you.

Joe was about to text you but as soon as he went to grab his phone you were walking into the bedroom. Truthfully you had been downstairs listening to him secretly through the baby monitor you had put up in the bedroom. You had heard him wrestle around in the sheets before sniffles were heard. After it went quiet for a bit you went upstairs and watched him through the cracked bedroom door as he wiped his eyes.

You walked towards the bed with a stack of pumpkin-flavored pancakes topped with candles singing Happy Birthday as Joe wore a huge grin.

After you were finished singing, Joe blew out the candles and you placed the plate on his lap.

“G’morning, Joey. Happy Birthday, my love. - you

He pulled you into a hug and squeezed you so tight.

“I love you so much, y/n.” - Joe

You rubbed his back and kissed him after you pulled away, his arms still around your waist.

“What did you wish for when you blew out your candles?” - you

“Can't tell you, you know it wouldn't come true if I did.” - Joe

“You're no fun.” - you

“I'm just kidding, baby. I actually didn't make a wish.” - joe

“What why? Did I not give you enough time to? I'm sor-” - you

“No. You gave me plenty of time. I just don't have anything to wish for. I have everything I could ever want or need so there's no need for me to wish for something. I have a beautiful amazing wife, perfect twin boys, a good career…” - Joe

You stared at him dumbfounded, wondering how you were ever able to bag this sweet man.

“You’re gonna make me cry.” - you sniffled

“C’mere.” - Joe opened his arms to you

Immediately in his embrace, Joe held the back of your head and kissed your temple.

“I've already cried twice.” - Joe giggled

“Awe Joey. Okay enough sappy stuff, you eat your birthday breakfast while I go clean the kitchen up.” - you pulled away from him and headed for the door when he stopped you

“Wait don't go! I'll help you clean later, can you stay with me right now?” - Joe

You smiled sweetly at him before waking back over to the bed and getting under the covers with him.

Joe turned on Spongebob and ate his pancakes, a few minutes in you heard little feet in the hallway before knocks on the door could be heard.

“Mommy? Daddy?” - Tyson

“You can come in, Ty!” - Joe

The twins happily opened the door and toddled over to the bed. You lifted them onto the bed and they sat with their backs against the footboard.

Tyson giggled as he jokingly got his hand under the covers and tickled Joe’s foot. Joe played along with it for a little bit, loving the sound of his son’s laugh before he started fighting back.

“Do you boys remember what today is?” - you

“Uhm… no momma.” - Miles

“It's someone's birthday!” - you

Tyson and Miles looked at each other for a second before they gasped at the same time and yelled out the answer in unison.

“Daddy’s!” - The twins yelled

“Mhm! Remember what you guys made yesterday?” - you

The boys nodded and you instructed them to go retrieve what they made from their room.

Joe gave you a skeptical raised eyebrow look, but you just leaned in and kissed him while you still had the chance.

It wasn't long till you could hear those little feet again and Tyson and Miles were running back into the bedroom. They handed Joe a few pieces of paper after he put his empty plate on his nightstand.

Tyson drew a picture of him, his daddy, and his uncles passing football at the practice fields.

Miles drew a picture of him and Joe playing with Hot Wheels tracks.

The drawings had Joe feeling a different form of bliss, his heart warmed to an insane level as he looked at the little details in his boys’ drawings.

“I love them, boys. Thank you.” - Joe croaked

“You welcome!” - Tyson beamed

“Dada? You sad?” - Miles

“No, Daddy’s really happy.” - Joe

“But you cryin'…” - Miles

“He’s crying happy tears buddy, really happy tears.” - Joe

“Oh… okay!” - Miles

“You guys should go play. Mommy and Daddy are gonna clean up before Gramps and Grammy come.” - you

When the boys left the room you turned to Joe who was still crying. You softly kissed his cheek and wiped his tears off of his cheeks.

“You okay, baby?” - you

“Never been better. This is the best feeling.” - Joe

“Good. They worked hard on those. Come follow me downstairs. I have something cool to show you.” - you

“You gonna give me my 27 birthday spankings? Or is that later?” - joe

You laughed as you pulled him out of bed and shoved him into the closet, asking without words for him to put clothes on since he was only in boxers.

He returned in sweatpants and a T-shirt and followed you downstairs.

“Is the cool thing you have to show me a sink full of dishes? Or do I have to unload the dishwasher?” - Joe

“You’re exempt from those chores today since you are the birthday boy. But no, I’m giving you one of your gifts now.” - you

Joe smiled and I told him to close his eyes as we started walking into the kitchen. He did as you said and you took his hands in yours to guide him to where the setup on the counter was. You smiled at the secret camera you had recording and dropped Joe’s hands.

Telling him to open his eyes, Joe looked around rather confused but when he looked down at the counter his eyes went as wide as saucers.

There was a positive Clearblue test next to the same onesie you showed Joe when you found out you were pregnant with the twins.

You watched Joe’s eyes start to water as his chin started quivering, causing your own eyes to get misty as you smiled at him.

“You’re pregnant?” - Joe grinned

“Mhm.” - you smiled as tears dripped down your face

Immediately his arms were around you, lifting you and spinning you around as he cried into your neck.

“We’re having another baby!” - Joe cried

When he put you down, Joe picked up the pregnancy test with shaky hands and fell against the counter with his head buried in his arms. He was so overcome with emotion.

“Are you happy?” - you rubbed his back

Joe stood up abruptly and nodded vigorously.

“I've never been so happy. What if we have a girl, y/n? I could be a girl dad.” - Joe cried again

“Oh baby.” - you pulled him into your arms

Joe hugged you so tight but was now trying not to put pressure on your stomach now that he was aware his baby was in there.

“I love you so much, y/n. You and our family are the best things to have ever happened to me. I can't believe we're having another baby.” - Joe

“I love you and our babies so much. I can't believe it either, I'm so excited.” - you

“How long have you known? Well about the baby?” - Joe

“Not too long, found out a couple of days ago and thought I'd wait till today.” - you

Joe nodded and leaned down to be level with your stomach. It hasn't gotten bigger yet but Joe didn't care, his baby was still in there.

“Hey, baby. It's your daddy. Me and your momma already love you so much. We can't wait to meet you.” - Joe

“I have an ultrasound next week. Think you can go?” - you

“For sure. I'll make it happen.” - Joe

The rest of the day Joe couldn't keep his hands off of you, always making sure you weren't farther than arm's length away from him.

Robin asked what was up later at dinner when you rejected your usual favorite wine that she and Jimmy had brought.

You and Joe were ecstatic to tell his parents about Baby Burrow #3 coming next fall and they were just as happy finding out about their next grandkid.

That night after dinner, dessert (pumpkin pie of course), and putting the boys to sleep, Joe and I were lying in bed talking about everything baby.

“y/n, you know, I've only been 27 for a day but I feel like it's going to be the best year yet.” - Joe

“You think so?” - you

“I know so because I’m gonna spend it with you, our boys, and baby Burrow.” - Joe

You had a strange feeling that Joe was right, but also an overwhelming feeling of love washed over you. How'd you get so lucky with Joe?

April 25, 2023

5 months pregnant

Huffing out a sigh, you turned onto your left side once again. You fluffed your pillow as you tried to get comfortable in bed. You’ve had a restless sleep all night, only getting maybe two hours at most. You just couldn’t seem to get comfortable, plus, your pregnancy cravings were hitting you pretty hard right now. You let out another sigh as the baby in your belly started to grow restless too. Your eyes were wide open as you laid on the bed, looking up at the ceiling.

You tried to fall back asleep, but your want for french fries and chocolate ice cream was much greater than your want for sleep.

You were now a little past 20 weeks into your pregnancy, which means you’re a little over the halfway mark. Which means, you have roughly 20 more weeks until you and Joe get to meet your sweet baby boy. Since your midway through the second trimester, your morning sickness is now completely gone, the headaches have eased, and the mood swings aren’t as bad. However when old symptoms disappear, the new ones start. You’ve now started to experience insomnia, more growing pains, and your favorite, pregnancy cravings.

For the past couple nights, you’ve been sneaking down to the kitchen around 1 am to get yourself and the baby a snack. You soon discovered that once the craving hit, it wouldn’t go away until yourself and the baby were satisfied. So as long as you were craving something, there was no way you’d be able to sleep anytime soon.

You reached over and grabbed your phone from the nightstand as you pulled the covers off of your body. You were sleeping in one of Joe’s t-shirts which went to your thighs, so it covered your panties. However, you thought you’d still slip on a pair of sleep shorts just in case you were caught by Joe. Joe has yet to catch you down in the kitchen satisfying your late night cravings, but you never know when he could come downstairs.

You cautiously left your bedroom, making sure to stay quiet as you slowly walked down the hall and down the staircase. Once you were successfully downstairs with minimal noise, you walked into the kitchen. It was almost as if your unborn son knew you were going to satisfy his hunger because as soon as you stepped foot in the kitchen, he was doing what felt like somersaults in your belly.

Chuckling softly at your sons movements, you turned on the lights above the island. Once the kitchen was lit up just enough for you to find your snack, you opened the freezer, looking for your chocolate ice cream and french fries. However, you had no luck finding either. The freezer was pretty much empty except for the usual: frozen chicken breasts, frozen fried rice, a few popsicles, and a couple other items of yours and Joe’s. You frowned deeply as you shut the freezer door. No ice cream and french fries for you. Looks like it’s going to be a sleepless night…

You sighed and put your hands on your belly, rubbing it softly as you spoke to your son, “Sorry little man, no ice cream and fries for us tonight.” The boy kicked the side of your belly gently, making you smile. His movements were something you’d never grow tired of feeling. You took your hands off of your bump and crossed them over your chest as you walked over to the pantry, finding a different snack to enjoy since you knew you’d only be able to go back to sleep once you ate something.

Your eyes scanned over the pantry, lighting up when they landed on the jar of salted pretzel rods. You grabbed the jar with one hand, while reaching for the container of peanut butter with the other. You shut the pantry door with your foot and walked over to the island, setting your late night craving concoction down on the marble countertop.

Grabbing a spoon from the drawer and smiling happily, you began to prepare you snack. Just as you were about to put the peanut butter covered pretzel in your mouth, you were interrupted by a brighter light being turned on in the kitchen. You whipped around at the sudden change of light, eyes falling on a sleepy, messy haired, Joe. He squinted his eyes as he looked at you.

"Y/n, what are you doing?" Joe asked, yawning tiredly. “Your son was hungry..." you trailed off, keeping eye contact with your baby daddy while you took a bite of the pretzel covered in peanut butter.

“At one in the morning?”

“Yup. Pregnancy cravings.”

Joe rubbed his eyes and stretched his arms, a groan escaping from his lips as he walked over to you. He furrowed his brows and grabbed a pretzel from the jar, covering it in peanut butter. You watched Joe with raised eyebrows. You were shocked to see him prepare the same snack as you. During the day, Joe would never indulge in your cravings with you. He claimed he couldn’t put all of that “junk” in his body after all the hard work he’s put into his body and health during the off-season. But here he was now, indulging in these cravings with you at one in the morning.

"You know," Joe said, taking a bite of the pretzel, “this actually isn’t too bad.” You nodded in agreement as you too munched on another peanut butter covered pretzel. As you chewed and swallowed the crunchy pretzel, your face turned to a look of disappointment and slight disgust. This was not satisfying your cravings whatsoever.

Joe must have noticed the turned away look on your face because he put the lid back on the peanut butter.

“Not hittin’ the spot?” He asked, a light chuckle following his words. You sighed, frowning begrudgingly, “Not all. We don’t have what baby boy and I were craving, so I thought maybe this would satisfy it instead,” you said, gesturing to the concoction on the counter, “but it didn’t, at all.”

Joe frowned slightly as he looked over at you, “I’m sorry,” he sighed softly, “what sounded good tonight?”

“Fries and ice cream—chocolate ice cream,” you gasped, “Oh! Like a frosty from Wendy’s…”

Joe shook his head, chuckling softly. “Y/n, it’s one in the morning.” He pointed out, “Wendy’s isn’t open.”

“I know,” you sighed in exasperation, “it just sounds so good.” You looked down at your swollen tummy, putting your hands on your hips as you spoke to the baby, “Doesn’t it peanut?”

The baby boy kicked in response. You looked up at Joe, a smile pulling at your lips, “He just kicked, so that means he agrees.”

Joe just shook his head at you. He didn’t feel like going anywhere at one in the morning, but he knew once a pregnancy craving hit you, you wouldn’t be able to do anything until that craving was satisfied. Joe wanted you and his baby boy to be happy, so he decided to suggest an idea to you. Something that would satisfy your craving and potentially give him the chance to do something he’s wanted to do for a long time…

“What if I take you to Mcdonald’s?” he offered, “I know it’s not the same, but at least you’ll get your fries and ice cream.” You smiled at Joe’s offer, nodding your head as you replied, “I’d love that. Thanks Joe.”

Joe smiled at you as you reached out to grab his hand. You placed the palm of his hand gently against your belly, the two of you smiling wider when you felt the little kick. Joe pulled his hand away from you as he sucked in a breath. His thoughts ran wild as his heart swelled when he gazed down at you. There were many things that Joe wanted to say to you, but he didn’t know how.

He hid his hesitation with a smile as he gestured for you to follow him, “C’mon, let’s go get you your fries mama.”

~time skip~

Joe drove through the empty drive through line, ordering a large fry and chocolate shake for you. He thanked the worker and pulled up to the window, doing his best to conceal you. The public still doesn’t know that you and Joe are having a baby together. They know that you’re expecting, but they don’t know that your expecting with their beloved quarterback. As Joe drove up to the window, you reached behind you and grabbed a sweatshirt that was laying on the seat. You placed the sweatshirt on your lap, hiding your growing belly from the McDonald’s worker.

As soon as the window opened, the guy at the cash register gasped as he noticed who his customer was.

“Oh my god, you’re Joe Burrow!”

Joe chuckled and handed the guy a 20 dollar bill. “That’s me.”

You leaned back in the seat, trying to hide yourself a bit behind Joe as you listened to him and the young man at the register exchange a few words.

“What are you doing out here man, it’s almost two in the morning.” The worker asked, handing Joe his change. “Just a late night.” He said with a smirk, pushing back the workers hand, “You keep it, bud. Have a nice night.”

“You too Joe! Can I get your autograph?” The young man asked with lots of enthusiasm. Joe smiled, “Sure.”

The worker handed him a cup, a sheepish smile on his face, “It’s all I’ve got.” Joe chuckled and signed his autograph on the plastic cup. He handed the cup back to the cashier, “What’s your name?”

“Jace.”

Joe gave a curt as he spoke, “Have a great night Jace.”

Joe pulled up to the next window, the workers at that window having the same reaction as Jace did. You were a bit worried they’d seen you, but everyone in that McDonalds was too starstruck by Joe being in the drive through to even notice you sitting in his passenger seat. Joe waved goodbye to the workers after grabbing the bag of fries and your shake from a blonde college student (who was definitely drooling over Joe the whole time). You couldn’t help but smile at Joe as he drove away from the McDonald’s parking lot. The way he interacted with his fans of all ages warmed your heart. Joe is such a kind and genuine guy. He always has been—it’s what you love most about the quarterback. Your baby boy is so lucky to have Joe as his dad.

Joe pulled into the parking lot of Kroger, putting the car in park and leaning back in his seat just a bit as he looked over at you.

You furrowed your brows in confusion as you looked at the empty parking lot.

“What are we doing here?”

“I was going to park in the McDonald’s parking lot and let you eat your snack there like old times.”

Your heart skipped a beat at the words like old times. You immediately knew what he meant by that. You lost track of how many times it was, but when you were in college, late night McDonald’s trips were a must. So many nights, you, Joe, Nick, Sam and Emma would always stop for food at McDonald’s after a late night out. Sam would drive and order the food for you all, while Emma sat in the front. You, Joe, and Nick piled into the back of the little car. After you got your food, Sam would pull into a parking spot and you’d all eat your cheeseburgers burgers, fries, and chocolate shakes at 3 o’clock in the morning, in Sam’s car, in the McDonald’s parking lot. What good times those were.

“But,” Joe continued, “too many people around, figured this would be better.” You nodded in agreement as you took the wrapper off of your straw and put it into the chocolate shake. You took a generous drink of the shake, moaning at the delicious, rich flavor. This was already satisfying your cravings.

“Hit the spot?” Joe chuckled, watching you take the lid off of the shake and dip a few french fries into the chocolate cream. You nodded, “This is the best thing I-,” you gestured to your bump, “We, have had all day.”

“Good,” Joe said, a warm smile on his face as he watched you indulge, “I’m glad.”

Some time passed, and as you were eating your fries and shake to satisfy your cravings, Joe’s thoughts ran wild. He first thought about the college days. All of the stolen glances, sneaking kisses, and hiding it all from Sam. Joe deeply wishes he never let Sam influence him into breaking your heart before he left for Louisiana. He then thought about seeing you for the first time since college when he got drafted by the Bengals. You looked a little more grown up, as did he. But you still had that sweet smile and those beautiful eyes he loved so much.

You were still the Y/n he fell in love with as a 19 year old.

Joe’s mind then wandered to the rekindling of your friendship. It took some time and few tries on both of your ends, but eventually your friendship became what it once was before. Joe began to seriously think about his feelings for you. The feelings he’s always had for you—the love he’s always felt for you. Joe has been in love with you for years, and now that you’re pregnant with his baby, that love has grown even stronger. He knows he can’t hide from his feelings anymore. He wants you to be his like you should’ve been back in Ohio State. Joe knows you feel the same way about him as he does for you. He knows he can’t push these feelings away anymore. It’s time to finally ask you what he’s been wanting to for almost six years now…

Joe sat up in the drivers seat, turning his body a bit so he was facing you. A smile grew across his face as he watched you smile into the bite of fries you just took. You looked up from the container, face dropping as you wiped at your mouth.

“Is there something on my face?” You asked, wiping at your chin and the corners of your mouth. Joe shook his head, “No, no. I’m just,” he let out a deep sigh, “I need to ask you something.”

You put the fry container down on the center console, giving Joe your full attention. He sounded pretty serious when he said he needed to ask you something. You furrowed your brows slightly as you looked into his blue eyes. What is it that he wants to ask you?

“Sure,” you nodded, “What is it?”

Joe sucked in a breath as he fiddled with the bracelets on his left wrist. Here goes nothing…he thought to himself.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said as he continued to fiddle with his bracelets, “I want our boy to have both of us around all the time.” You nodded along to what he was saying, brows furrowing slightly.

“He will Joe, what do you mean?”

“I mean that I want us to be together, Y/n.” Joe blurted. He was worried how you were going to react to his confession. Your mouth dropped slightly in shock. You couldn’t believe what you were hearing. Joe really wanted to be with you? Joe sighed before he continued.

“I want us to be together, as a couple. I have for years now.” Joe confessed, his voice quiet. “I was thinking and, our baby boy deserves that relationship when he comes into the world. Y/n, you deserve that relationship. After the shit I did to you in college…” he trailed off, taking a deep breath, “I want to make it up to you. I want to show you how much you mean to me, every single day. I want to be the one that gives you the love that you deserve. I should have never left you the way I did all those years ago. I love you Y/n. And If you’ll let me,” Joe reached out and grabbed your hand, squeezing it gently as you laced your fingers with his. “I’ll prove it to you every day.”

Your eyes welled up with tears as you listened to Joe’s confession. These were words you wanted to hear for quite a while now, and now that you were hearing them, you were feeling overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with joy. Overwhelmed with hope. And most of all, overwhelmed with love. A small smile made its way onto your face as you uttered those words you’ve wanted to say for years.

“I want to be with you too, Joe. I want us to be together.”

“You do?” Joe asked, his voice quiet yet hopeful. You nodded, a small smile pulling at your lips as you confirmed your answer further.

“Yes. I’ve always wanted to be yours Joe…” you trailed off, looking into his blue eyes that showed nothing but happiness and unconditional love. He leaned over the center console, leaning in and cupping your cheek gently as he slowly and sensually smashed his lips against yours. You deepened the kiss, your hands reaching for his dark blonde hair. The two of you smiled into the kiss knowing what this meant for you and your relationship.

Joe pulled away, smiling softly at you, “Y/n,” he said, watching the smile grow on your face as he popped the important question, “Will you be my girlfriend?”

You nodded, grinning happily up at Joe. Your voice was quiet as you responded, “Yes Joe. I’ll be your girlfriend.”

Joe’s grin matched yours as he leaned in once again to place a sweet kiss on your lips. Both of you were on cloud nine, feeling happiness and bliss you haven’t felt in a long time. You were finally together. After years of being apart, after years of unspoken feelings, and after months of working through things together for your unborn baby, you and Joe were finally a couple. You and Joe can both agree: It’s been a long time coming.

You pulled away from Joe, a small smirk on your face as you teased him.

“This isn’t our first date, right?”

Joe chuckled, bringing a hand to your thigh and squeezing it gently, “No. I’ll take you out on a date that doesn’t include McDonald’s french fries.”

“But that’s just like old times remember? You and I, sharing fries in the back of Sam’s car.” You said with a light laugh, making Joe chuckle once again.

“That’s good for maybe a fifth date,” he smiled warily at you as he continued, “but I’m going to take you on a real first date. One that I should’ve taken you on years ago.”

Joe took his hand off of your thigh and placed it on the center of your belly. “But now I get to take both of you, so that’s even better.” Joe’s actions and words made you grin so wide that you didn’t think you’d ever be able to stop. You placed your hand over his, looking into his blue eyes and speaking wholeheartedly.

“I love you.”

“I love you too, pretty girl.”

You and Joe spent the next 20 minutes talking about date ideas, how you’d break the news to everyone that you’re dating, and how ecstatic you both are to finally be together. All while sharing your McDonald’s french fries and chocolate shake, just like you did as young college kids.
