"She left work about half an hour ago. She told me to ring you and say she'd be an hour and apologise that she'd be that little bit late." Nancy ran into the Byers house walking into the kitchen where Will and Lucas were helping Jonathan peel and chop vegetables for the dinner and Joyce as always arguing with Hopper.
"Thanks sweetie." Joyce called out as Nancy helped the others get ready leaving Jonathan with Will and Lucas. "Please Hopper."
"No I'll look stupid!"
"Do you really want me to say what you know I'm going to say?" Joyce raised an eyebrow at the man.
"I'm gonna say no."
"Good choice. Now put the bow tie on and the blazer!" Joyce glared at him as she handed him the items of clothing. "I want everything to be perfect!"
"Miss Byers can you help me with my tie?" Dustin walked up to her holding out his tie as she gave him a smile and tied it for him, with a thank you at the end. Time seemed to fly by when Joyce asked Jonathan what the time was to when he answered Joyce realised she was nearly late. "Right I'll be back later, Hopper you better have that bow tie on by the time I get back!"
"DAMMIT!"
"El make sure he puts it on sweetie, love guys, thank you see you in a minute." Joyce grabbed her coat off the hanger and her keys rushing to her car and driving to the funeral home where she was picking you up. Joyce silently cursing herself when she saw you sat on a bench waiting for her as she pulled up by the curb, you instantly getting in.
"Hi sweetie."
"Hi." You put a smile on kissing her on the cheek as you out the seatbelt on but Joyce not driving off yet waiting for you to break as she could tell you couldn't hold it in any longer. There was a big sigh before you took your seatbelt off leaning over to the driver's seat resting your face in her neck as she stroked your hair.
"Tough day?" You nodded. "Wanna talk about it?"
"Bought her clothes for them to... you know. And they've just asked me to look to see if I'm happy with everything and just final checks for the funeral next week."
"I'm so proud of you for being this strong."
"I love you."
"I love you too." The two of you shared a sweet kiss bringing smiles to both of your faces before Joyce started the car and you put your seatbelt on again. "Made us a nice dinner tonight. The boys are over their friends and Hop has got El."
"Oh God our anniversary, I have got you a present I just keep forgetting."
"I don't blame you you've lost someone important to you, you've lost the person who bought you into this world, I don't care that you keep forgetting throughout the day, if you didn't I wouldn't care if you didn't get me a present. I just want you to be ok."
Joyce drove you both back home as you parked up outside, the house lights had turned off but only a small flicker of light showing which you didn't notice before Joyce pushed the door open to realise that she had already set up a candle lit dinner.
"Hello, M'lady may I take your coat." Dustin gave you a massive smile putting on a posh accent as you chuckled with tears welling up in your eyes after realising what Joyce had actually planned, getting a strong scent of your favourite meal from the kitchen. You passed Dustin your coat as he hung it up where you usually do as Lucas put on a posh accent just like Dustin and lead you and Joyce to the table, Mike and Will pulling out your chairs for you. EL handing the both of you hand drawn, with crayons by them obviously, menus as Hopper came up behind her, with the bow tie on much to Joyce's relief.
"May I influence you with the Chianti wine?" Hopper spoke unenthusiastically making you chuckle especially when you saw Joyce 'subtly' glare at him. "It is our finest." Hopper presented the bottle as he poured a good amount into each of your glasses.
"Thanks Hop." You chuckled.
"There's nothing funny about this." He mumbled as he walked off.
"That's no tip off me." You yelled after him putting a smile on Joyce's face that you didn't mind but she would kill him later, whereas Hopper stuck his hand round the corner flipping you off. Just then Will and El came back to the table handing you both your plates of food before running off back to the kitchen.
"We're off now Mum, see you in the morning." Jonathan waved goodbye to you as everyone but you and Joyce, of course, walked out the door.
"Told you I'd manage to get the house to ourselves.
