They had sat on the sofa just resting in each other's arms for a good hour and a half when Joyce finally looked up at him but still lying on his chest. He knew she was looking but just carried on staring at the wall until she actually spoke.
" hop we should probably talk.... Not just about what happened today but in general,"
"About what Joyce?"
"I don't know maybe the fact we have been best friends since middle school and have never separated ever since. I mean we meet in that same old spot everyyy dayyy. We run away from teachers and just laugh. We get drunk and high together and don't think anything of it , and when we do we know that no matter the consequences we will be doing it together so that makes it ok. You beat up guys for me and I dump them for both of us. When we are hurting we take care of each other and now, well now we have made out!" She rambled quickly
"Yup that's correct" hopper said just smiling at her
"So what does that... what does it mean?" She said doing her squinty thing
"That means we have a pretty dann good relationship Joyce" he said kissing her on the top of the head and proceeding to look at the wall
" right... we have a great friendship I know.... But do .. yk .. friends do the things we do?" She asked hoping for a certain answer without it being forced out of him.
"No," replied hopper
"No?"
"That's what I said.. the people that do the things we do are two madly inlove idiots who take a good few years to acknowledge it. Two people who would take a bullet for each other and I don't know weather you think of it that way or not but I definitely do... and I love you Joyce Horowitz" he said still staring at the wall . She grabbed his chin and turned him to face her.
"I love you too hop," she said staring into his eyes and then kissing him. But then she pulled away slightly and started giggling
"And this time I mean as a lot more than a friend,"
"I'm glad,"
"Well thank fuck for that!"
They both chuckled and stared at each other Joyce knew he was the one for her.
" well what should our couple name be?" Said Joyce kiddingly
"Hoyce?" Hop suggested wanting to impress
"Oh great heavens that's hideous" she said and they both laughed
"Hmmmm ... jopper?"
"THATS PERFECT!"
They both laughed hysterically at how exited she has gotten
"Wait so if we are making up couple names .... Does that make us .. you know?"
"I'll let you figure that out for yourself Einstein"
