A/N: This is for you Elena 🫡 hehe but actually tho I may have changed the idea a little bit from your suggestion so it's more of a continuation of "come join us." So, I hope you don't mind 🥲
———————————————————————————
Sooooo, you may have been overworking yourself again. However, there was nothing you could do about it. It was now fall, and pumpkins, cranberries, and the upcoming winter were consuming your mind. You had begun stockpiling hay and purchasing heaters for your animals, as well as making many kegs and preserves jars to make jelly and wine. On this particular day, you had just finished doing your chores, and had kinda forgotten your phone on your night stand. Easy to say when you got back to your room you saw multiple text messages from none other than your loving partners.
Shit
Hales: Y/N if you don't answer our freaking messages I swear to Yoba 😠
Macho Man: We're coming over 😒
You internally panic as you read the last two text messages from them, sent only a few minutes ago. You quickly throw off your work boots and struggle to undo the clasps on your work overalls. You decide to quickly hop into the shower, because you really didn't want your partners to see you super sweaty and gross again. As you get out of the shower, you throw on some loungewear, which are somewhat nicer than your pijamas, but still comfortable. You quickly brush your hair and look at yourself in the mirror, before you hear angry knocking at your door.
You basically run down the stairs as you run to the door, opening it to a very angry Haley. "Why haven't you answered our text messages??" Haley asks angrily, crossing her arms. "I...I was busy?" You say, sheepishly smiling at her. "You know what we said about you overworking yourself N/N." Alex says, appearing from behind Haley. "I knowww, I'm sorry for not responding I've just been so busy today setting up my new kegs and preserves jars." You say, your smile disappearing. Haley sighs before making her way inside your house. "Well, I don't care what else you have to do today, you're done." She says, giving you a stern look. "Yeah, you're spending time with us for the rest of the day." Alex says, closing the front door behind him. "Well, I guess I can go and talk to Robin tomorrow." You say quietly, smiling at both of your partners. "Good." Haley says, coming up behind you and wrapping her arms around your waist. You feel your cheeks getting warmer as you laugh a little out of embarrassment. Alex smiles at the both of you, "Have you eaten dinner N/N?" He says. You shake your head, "I just took a shower, I haven't had the chance to make anything." "Well I guess i'll have to make something." Alex says, turning to head towards the kitchen. "We'll be on the couch babe." Haley says, grabbing your hand and leading you to the living room. "Shouldn't we help?" You say, looking back at Alex who's looking through your fridge. "Nah, he's fine, I have something better for us to do."
...
"How does breakfast for dinner sound?" You hear Alex say from the kitchen. "Sounds good babe!" Haley says, finishing putting on your face mask. "You didn't bring one for Alex?" You say, feeling bad for not including him in your "relaxation" activities. "Of course I did! He just never wants to use it." Haley says, making a 'humph' sound. She pulls out a third face mask out of her small bag, sighing. "Maybe I can convince him to put it on." You say, grabbing the face mask from Haley. "Good luck with that N/N." Haley says, watching you get up from the couch.
You make your way to the kitchen, watching Alex crack some eggs into a pan. "Alex?" You say, getting his attention. "What happened N/N?" Alex says, turning around. He suddenly laughs, leaving you confused. "What?" You ask, your face burning red in embarrassment. "You look so funny with that face mask!" He says, laughing his ass off. "Shut up!" You say, playfully shoving his shoulder. He turns his back to you, paying his attention back to the eggs in the pan. "That's why I'd never put on those stupid face masks, I wouldn't be caught dead looking that funny." He says, laughing triumphantly. You quietly open the little bag with the face mask, thinking of a master plan. (For context, it's one of those sheet masks, not the ones you spread with a little spatula)"Alex?" You say, discarding the bag leaving the face mask in your hand. "Yeah?" He says, turning back around to face you. You then quickly place the mask on his face, using your hands to smooth out the wrinkles. He recoils, almost dropping the spatula he was holding. "Agh!! Y/N!" He yells, going to pull the mask off his face. You quickly grab his hand, and lean forward to kiss his on the lips. "Don't take it off, please?" You ask, letting go of his hand. He stands there shocked for a few seconds, before hearing the oil in the pan begin to sizzle. "The eggs!!" He yells, turning back around to flip the forgotten eggs. "You did it baby!!" Haley yells out suddenly, running into the kitchen. She practically jumps you and you both erupt into laughter. Alex grumbles something under his breath, but you and Haley both see how red his ears are, and retreat out of the kitchen.
...
"Foods ready!" Alex says, and you and Haley quickly make your way to the kitchen. Alex stands there holding two plates, his cheeks still tinted pink, and still wearing the face mask. You and Haley grab the plates from his hands and the three of you sit in the small table outside your kitchen. "The eggs are a little burnt, but they should still be good." He says, throwing you a playful glare. You laugh a little, "Sorry Alex." Haley laughs with you, before biting into her pancakes. "Mmmmm, babe this is so good!" Haley says, smiling big over at Alex. He smiles bashfully, looking over at you for your opinion. You also take a bite out of your pancakes, "They're really good hun." You say, reaching out for his hand. He holds your hand gently, before digging into his own plate. You and Haley laugh some more, before digging into your own plates.
...
You and Alex sit on the couch, satisfied from the food. Haley washes the dishes in the kitchen, humming to herself. You glance over at the clock on the wall, "I think it's time to take off our face masks." You say, looking over at Alex. "Finally." Alex grumbles out, before peeling off his face mask, standing up to throw it away. You giggle, pulling off your own mask and standing up to throw it away. By the time that you two make it back to the couch, Haley is done with the dishes, has thrown out her mask, and joins you two on the couch. "What do you wanna watch N/N?" She says, wrapping one of her arms around your waist. You think about it for a little, before putting on your favorite show. "We've watched this like 3 times already N/N." Alex says, groaning. "Too bad." You say, nestling into Haley's side, giving you a kiss on the forehead. "Hey! I want some affection too!" Alex says, scooting closer to the two of you, wrapping both of his arms around you two. You and Haley laugh, and you turn to kiss him on the cheek.
The three of you then watch your favorite show, and eventually fall asleep, and for once, the stress of being a farmer melts away, at least for one night.
