Joel slowly began to stir as the early morning light gently made its way in through the bedroom curtains. Tightly scrunching eyes in protest, they finally flutter open; a broad smile breaks across his lips at the sight of you curled tightly against his side.
Lying here with you I watch you while you sleep the dawn is closing in with every breath you breathe I can feel the change the change you've made in me but will I ever see all the things you see in me
When you say that I'm one of a kind baby, I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true, I promise you I'll try to be that kind of man because you love me like I am When it comes to love I may not know the rules but there's one thing I know my heart belongs to you, just you
It's been almost a year since that evening at your house, when you both had finally given in to the need for one another and yet he still couldn't believe how lucky he was to have you by his side. You were everything he could ever ask for and according to you; so was he for you.
Joel still couldn't fathom how someone as soft and kind as you could possibly want a life with someone like him. It still boggled him, but he wasn't about to challenge the logic behind it, not when he's the happiest he'd ever been a long time. Every night he went to bed with you in his arms and the next morning awakens with you still securely there. Not only that; you brought light back into his life, something Ellie enjoys bringing up on a regular.
At first, he had feared what Ellie's reception of you would be, but it had all been in vain as both of you hit it off immediately. It was as you had been friends forever, especially when both of you bonded over making him the center of most of your jokes.
He couldn't ask for anything more, his kid was safe and thriving and he had a loving woman by his side. All was right in Joel's world.

"Penny for your thought?" your voice pulls Joel's attention to your awoken form next to him.
Eyes crinkling as he smiles at you, Joel presses a soft kiss to your forehead, "mornin' baby."
Burrowing your face into his naked chest and peppering kisses all over, "good morning, handsome..." you mutter against his flesh. Letting out a throaty chuckle at the tickling sensation, Joel grabs hold of your hair.
"So, what's up...?" you enquire, tilting your head upward to properly study him.
Gently reaching out to stroke your cheek, Joel exhales heavily, "just thinkin' of how too good for me ya are. Ain't sure why ya want someone like me."
"Oh, hush you..." you scowl, softly biting into his palm, "I'm far from being good."
Chuckling loudly, Joel tightly grabs hold of your hair again, "ya my Bad Girl, ain't ya...?"
"Very, very bad..." you slur, biting into your lip while reaching down to cup his cock.
Head thrown back into the pillow, Joel lets out a loud pleasurable groan, "playin' with fire, Sweetheart..."
"Good thing I ain't afraid to get burned..." you flash him a mischievous smirk when he opens his eyes to witness you slither down under the sheet.
When you say that I'm one of a kind baby, I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true, I promise you I'll try to be that kind of man because you love me like I am You show me you love me with a fire that burns deep inside
When you say that I'm one of a kind baby, I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true, I promise you I'll try to be that kind of man because you love me like I am

"Fuck... much too good for me..." Joel groans out, clutching the back of your head whilst it was buried in his crotch. "Gaah... 'nuff of that" Joel growls, softly tugs at your hair to cease or risk cumming too soon.
"Sensitive this mornin' ain't we, Miller...?" you snicker, slowly slithering back up his body for a kiss.
"Don't start nothin'..." Joel's brows arch in warning.
"Well, if ya don't want me startin'..." you shrug, nonchalantly beginning to move off him.
"Nuh-uh" Joel's arms hastily lock around you to stay in place. Not able to contain the facade, you finally break out in laughter.
"Ya lil shit" Joel growls out in laughter at the realization that you were pretending indifference, causing to giggle uncontrollably when he begins tickling you.
"'Nuff! 'Nuff...!" you manage to plead in-between giggle. With a final throaty chuckle, Joel cease, dopily staring up at you as he brushes your hair out of your face.
"I love you."
Eyes crinkled adoringly, "I love you too..." you respond, tipping down to kiss him.
Groaning into your mouth in approval, Joel fists your hair in a tight grip as he deepens the kiss.
All's right in this new world he built with you and Ellie by is his side. Still felt at times that he didn't deserve it, yet each day you made him feel less so; because you love him, just as he was.
When you say that I'm one of a kind baby, I don't see it but you believe that I'm so strong and true, I promise you I'll try to be that kind of man because you love me like I am -- I am I'll never understand I don't think I'll ever understand why you love me why you love me just like I am...
