Growing up *Trohley* (DISCONTINUED)

      When ur school blows up and the entire band class makes a huge meme out of it lmao ~Andrew

   Today was the day. It was officially here. And both of them were fucking terrified, yet so restless at the same time. They had waited long enough for this moment and now that it was finally here, they were getting antsy. Today couldn't go by fast enough for either of them.

"Oh, Joseph." Dallon cooed, sliding his head around the corner and peaking into his spare room where Joe had ended up passing out last night.

"Today's the day, kid. Time to get up." He giggled, walking up to Joe and jumping on top of him, making enough ruckus to finally wake up Joe.

"Okay, okay, I'm up." Joe chuckled, swatting Dallon off of him and sluggishly getting up.

   Joe slumped into the bathroom and brushed his teeth as well as washed his face for extra closure. He ran his hands through his growing beard to ruffle it and make it more appeasing and decided to throw his head up into a messy bun to be dealt with later.

   He slipped into the kitchen where Dallon was sat at the kitchen barstool eating cereal.

   "You can help yourself to whatever you want but if you want cereal there's bowls in the third cupboard down." Dallon pointed into the kitchen and Joe thanked him, yet declined food anyway.

   Joe was too anxious to put any real sustenance in his body, so he just settled for some water to ease him off. Dallon chuckled sadly at him and rubbed his shoulder gently to help Joe out. Joe looked stressed as all hell, Dallon could tell through a blind eye, but he couldn't figure out why that was. He didn't have any reason to be like this.

"Okay so we need to be at the venue in about an hour, so just put on some day clothes and bring your dressy stuff to put on later. Andy and Brendon are already there getting ready so we should be good to go." Dallon started listing off the agenda and Joe nodded, getting up and going to get changed.

   He slipped on a pair of Jeans and one of Andy's old shirts that he had brought along with him last night. He walked back into the living room and slipped on his shoes while Dallon put on a jacket and hat. He passed Joe his coat as well and they headed out onto the snowy roads to get to where their ideal destination was.

   Joe double checked everything before they pulled away.

   Suit. Check.
   Rings. Check.
   Party. Good to go.
   Food? Pretty sure.

   "We good." Dallon asked.

   Joe nodded and Dallon began to pull out of the driveway and started down the road into town.

Once they arrived to the venue -which was a glorious well-mended garden with a river as well as a small bridge where the ceremony would've held- they traipsed into the building situated behind the beauty and pushed Joe into a dressing room to get ready.

"I'm going to go check on Andy and Brendon than I'll be right back." Dallon said, slipping out and starting down the hall.

   Joe took a look in the mirror and breathed in, staring into the reflection of his own eyes. He was going to marry the love of his life today.

   Fuck.

He was so utterly excited. The day was finally here after all that time.

"Knock, knock." A voice came from the doorway.

Joe turned and saw his father peaking into the room, a smile playing at his lips.

"Dad." Joe breathed out happily, walking up to his father and pulling him tightly into a hug.

   "I can't believe my own son is finally getting married. I'm so proud of you, Joe."

   Joe smiled and looked down at his feet.

   "Thanks, dad." He said bashfully.

   "You're mother and I will be running around finishing errands so just call if you need us, okay? Now start getting ready." His dad joked, ruffling Joe's mass of hair before walking out and locking the door for Joe to change in peace.

   He knew that people were going to come in and out to either catch up or congratulate Joe so the peace and quite was rather nice.

However that didn't last very long since Joe got a knock on the door not even five minutes after his dad had left. Joe quickly shuffled his slacks on and tripped over to the door, smiling when he saw that it was just Andy's mom, smiling.

"Sorry for the wait, I just thought you'd rather not see your future son-in-law without pants on." Joe chuckled, stepping aside to let Andy's mother in.

"Oh no dear, it really is fine. I just thought I'd come see how you were doing." She beamed.

"I'm wonderful, however I'm slightly worried. How's Andy doing? I haven't talked to him in over 24 hours."

"Oh relax, he's doing fine. He's in the same nervous state as you, but that's completely normal. Wedding jitters are nothing to worry about."

   "Woah. Okay that's relieving to know." Joe chuckled lightly, sliding his tie around his collared neck.

   He fumbled around with his fingers, only to have Andy's mom scoff and walk up to him. She gently maneuvered the silk through her hands and tightened it so it was at Joe's neck level. She smiled up at Joe and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.

   "I'm going to go check on the other hoodlums." She laughed before leaving.

   Joe looked down at his tie and smiled.

   What a great little family Joe and Andy were about to conjoin.
