joe

y/n
i hate it too,, dw :( but yeahhh
i just wanna be closer to you so badly
you turned off your phone and sighed. you were in a long distance relationship with your boyfriend, joe, and wanted nothing more than to finally meet him in person.
rolling over onto your stomach, you received another text from him.
joe
i wanna be closer to you too hhh
but hey, at least we have discord and exchanged numbers a bit ago :DD
you smiled gently, his reassurance warming your heart a bit. he was right; if you couldn't have him in person, there was always calls and texts.
joe
y/n?
y/n
hm?
joe
wanna call? i miss hearing your voice :(
you giggled.
y/n
ofcofc :))
he called you, and though you saw it coming, the ringtone kind of scared you. you answered the call.
"hi y/n!!!" joe's voice was comforting for you to hear, it'd been so long since you'd last called with him. "haha, hi joe. how have you been?" you asked him. you set it to speaker, as you usually do when you talk to him.
"oh i've been really good! i went on a walk with my friend sara today and her girlfriend, anzu. they recently got together, we went for ice cream and anzu took a lot of pictures of us!" joe paused for a moment. "how've you been?" he asked. you could hear him smile.
you sighed. "i haven't done much, just been baking to pass the time. it's a stress reliever, almost like therapy?"
"have you been stressed lately?" joe asked you with slight worry in his voice. "nono, don't worry, i just really enjoy it, it kinda clears my mind when i am stressed." you reassured him.
he never really took well when you were stressed. shortly before you started dating, you were kind of stressed and he wanted to do anything and everything in his power to make sure you weren't stressed.
"hey, y/n?" he asked after a moment of silence. "hm?" you directed your attention back over to your phone. "when we..finally meet, wanna bake together? you've talked about baking a lot before and you really seem to like it, i mean i've never really had a knack for it but i'd love to with you!"
you smiled, and grabbed your phone, almost as if you wanted to hold joe there too. "haha, sure. i'd love to with you, even though you'd probably make a huge mess." he let out a small laugh.
"see, it's funny because you're right. i'd probably mess up some measurements or get icing everywhere." he agreed with you. "heh, i cant wait to meet you. we don't live THAT far away—"
"joe, we're—" you began, quickly cut off by him again.
"yeah, i know..but hey! there's always a possibility we *could* meet! like, persuade our parents into finding a mid point, y'know?" this was joe. he was constantly trying to find a positive in everything, even if it meant listing off things you know will never or might never happen.
"awh, joe." you closed your eyes, imagining running up to him and holding him in a hug. it made your face slightly heat up. "that would be nice."
he yawned. "ugh, sorry. i don't know why i asked to call this late.."
"no, it's okay! i missed hearing your voice too. but if you're tired then please sleep." you responded gently. "aw, okay. i love you y/n! be sure to sleep soon, okay?"
"okay joe, i love you too. talk to you tomorrow, loser."
"talk to you tomorrow dummy!!"
