joe and i have been best friends since day one. he has always been there for me and so have i. we've done absolutely everything together. we made a promise before high school that we would never fall in love with one another.. i have broken that promise. i have been madly in love with joe for 3 years now. he doesn't know and he never will. i would never cope if i lost him.
---------------------------------------
it was a sunny afternoon and i was at joe's apartment, waiting for him to get home. i was reading one of the books on his bookshelf when joe finally came through the door. "sorry im late darling, got talking." i've always loved how he calls me darling, always gets my heart thumping. "oh no, it's fine." i say, smiling at him. he walks into the kitchen when my phone rings, lucy. "hey luce, what's up?" lucy and i have gotten very close ever since joe introduced me to the borhap cast.
"didn't you hear?" she asked. i put the book next to me and sit up. "hear what?" i ask, concern lacing my voice. "the whole country is going into lockdown." i sigh and sit back against the couch. "are you kidding me?" joe walks out of the kitchen. "what happened?" he asks, his eyebrows furrowing together. i look at him and pull my phone away from my ear. "apparently the whole country is going into lockdown." i say, whispering to joe. joe sighs. "really?" i nod and put my phone back to my ear. "was it on the news?" i ask lucy. "yeah just before, it'll probably still be on there." she says. "thanks lucy, stay safe love you." i say, sighing once again. "love you too y/n." we hang up and i turn the tv on.
joe sits down next to me as we watch the news about the new lockdown due to covid-19. i cross my arms and sit back against the couch and look at joe. "can i stay with you? i don't wanna be lonely for 6 weeks." i ask, pouting my lips like a lost puppy. joe pats my knee. "of course you can darling, i was gonna force you to stay no matter what." joe then stands up and heads for the kitchen once again. i stand up and walk to his balcony. i glance down at the almost empty streets and then across to all the buildings that will soon gather dust.
4 DAYS LATER
----------------------------------------------
it's been 4 days since the government issued the lockdown and when i tell you i am bored as hell, i mean it. i've read all the books in joe's apartment, watched all the shows that interested me on netflix and i've had way too many showers, and it's only been 4 days. joe has been busy with zoom calls and online interviews so the only times i see him is early in the morning, sometimes around midday and late in the evening if i'm not in bed already.
it's around 1.00 in the afternoon and i'm sitting on the couch, facetiming lucy. "so how's lockdown with rami going? will we be expecting babies soon?" i say smirking and winking at her. "oh my god y/n, shut up." lucy replies, laughing and blushing. "how's lockdown with joe? confessed yet?" i glare at lucy and she laughs. lucy is the only one that knows about my crush on joe. i stifle a laugh and look outside the window (dramatic i know). "you know i can't lucy, we promised." lucy gave me a 'are you kidding me' look. "y/n, that was years ago, things change."
"yeah, i know but i don't want to change the way we are. i love our friendship and if that's how he wants it, so be it." i say, shrugging my shoulders trying to pretend that it doesn't hurt by saying this but deep down it does. lucy sighs. "okay well, i still am expecting something from you two, even if it's a little kiss or finally a romance, something will happen between you guys, i can feel it." i roll my eyes. "whatever luce, i'm gonna go make lunch, say hi to rami for me." "okay i will, love you." i blow a kiss to lucy and hang up the phone, groaning.
------------------------------------------
it's 11 at night and i'm sitting on the couch, half watching grease half dozing off. i wanted to wait for joe so we could finally see each other. as sleep is about to carry me away, i hear the tv turn off. i don't open my eyes but i feel joe crouch down next to me. i feel him move a strand of hair out of my face and kissing my forehead. it's so hard not to smile but somehow i hide it. just as i thought he was going to leave, i hear him say. "i love you so fucking much, y/n, i wish i was brave enough to tell you this when you're awake but i guess it's easier to tell you when you can't even hear me." oh my god. did the love of my life just say he loves me back?
i open my eyes, locking mine with his and i smile. joe almost looks scared but relaxes when i kiss his palm that was resting on the side of my face. "i love you more joseph mazzello." i whisper. joe chuckles and kisses me passionately. i pulled him up onto the couch our lips still connected and we makeout on the couch for a while before i feel him lift me up and walk towards the hallway.
i disconnect our lips and look at him. "what are we doing?" joe gives me one of his smirks that is to die for. "i'm doing you." with that he forcefully places his lips on mine and kicks the bedroom door shut. who knows what we did in there?
at least lucy got what she hoped for.
