*narrated*

y/n's mom was sitting at the kitchen island drinking her morning coffee. her husband, y/n's dad, was mowing the lawn outside so she was content with the quietness.

until it startled her. it was 10:30 a.m., and there was no sign of y/n.

usually, she would have come down by now to get breakfast before heading back up to her room.

y/n's parents had gotten home so late last night that they went straight to bed without checking on y/n. they knew she had gotten home alright and since her bedroom door was closed they figured that she was asleep.

she stood up from the island, put her empty coffee cup in the sink, and made her way up the stairs.

once she got to her door she thought about knocking, but didn't want to wake her up if she was still asleep.

when she opened the door she gasped at the sight as her eyes went wide, and her open mouth turned into a wide grin.

what did she see?

y/n asleep on Joe's chest, the covers had found their place just below their mid-drifts so the fact that Joe's arms were wrapped around y/n's waist was visible.

they made up, y/n's mom thought.

(joe's pov)

when I woke up, the first thing my eyes landed on was y/n's mom standing in the doorway.

"so last night went well?" - your mom smiled

I nodded and placed a kiss on y/n's forehead, in response she cuddled deeper into my chest.

"aw." - your mom

"I asked to come over as soon as I got home. She said yes, thank god. I apologized and explained how I freaked out and didn't want to make Lexie jealous. One thing led to another and I told her I was in love with her, she told me she felt the same way. we kissed. then we fell asleep cuddling." - Joe

"so.. are you guys dating?" - your mom

"not yet. we're going on a date tonight and I'm gonna ask her to be my girlfriend then." - Joe

"I'm so happy for you guys. does anyone else know?" - your mom

"Just you." - joe smiled

"Well I'm glad I'm the first to know, I'd say I was wingman for both of you." - your mom

"that's for sure." - joe

"y/m/n, where are my headphones?!" - your dad

y/n's mom shushed him, and he was confused as to why until she pointed to y/n and me.

"well damn. you guys together?" - your dad

"not yet. we confessed to each other last night, I'd say we'll be able to say we're dating after our date tonight. I've already got a plan." - Joe

"sounds good. I'm really glad it's you, Joe. you make her happy and I know you'll treat her right." - your dad

"that means a lot. She makes me happy as well." - Joe

"I mean look at you. you can't wipe the smile off your face." - your dad laughed

a nervous laugh escaped my lips and I panicked when y/n started stirring. her eyes opened and when the first thing she saw was me, a huge smile graced her lips.

"good morning, Joey." - you kissed Joe

"Morning, honey." - joe

"I can't! you guys are so cute!" - your mom
