Joe- New Year's Eve

You and Joe were casually dating for almost 2 months and he had invited you to spend New Year's Eve with him. He also invited Q, Sal, and Murr. You had met them a few times before but never spent much time with them. You loved them and you though they were the funniest people you've ever met. Of course, Joe was the funniest to you though.

You went to Joe's a little before the guys arrived. They got there around 6pm. You all ordered pizzas and Joe had some snacks and sweets out. You were the first one to get there, Murr was the second. Once everyone was there, you ate, talked, and told stories for a while. Q had brought beer over with him so after a little bit, he brought them out from the kitchen.

The guys were telling you about the show a little bit. A perk of being friends with them was that you knew a little bit about the episodes that have yet to air. For example, you knew why Q cut his hair months before the episode actually aired. Murr was telling you about all of his awful punishments. At around 10, you were beginning to get tired. You had been sitting next to Joe the whole night and you decided to snuggle up closer to him. He then put his arm around you and held you closer. You rested your head on his chest. You desperately tried to stay awake.

The guys were trying to keep you awake until midnight. Q offered you something to drink and you accepted a beer. Joe, Q, Sal, and Murr were all making jokes at each other and you could be sure that Sal's laughing would be loud enough to wake you back up if you started to fall asleep. You really appreciated that the guys were helping you stay awake for the entire night. For as long as you can remember you have always stayed up until midnight. Recently it had just been harder for you since you woke up really early for work.

Joe asked if anyone wanted to play cards and the other guys all wanted to. You joined in with hopes that it would distract you from how tired you were. You and the guys sat around Joe's table to play a game of poker. You slid you chair closer to Joe's and he put his arm around your shoulder. You really enjoyed playing poker, but prior to this you hadn't played it in a while.

Playing poker with the guys was always something that required a lot of energy. Q and Sal were always competitive players, however Murr was quite mellow about it. The little rivalry between Murr and Sal made the game more intense. Joe would try to joke around and trash talk the other guys but he would stop after a little bit just so it wouldn't frustrate the other guys. You knew better than to pester the guys during a game of poker. You've known how to play the game for a long time and you had a knack for it. During the game you were very quiet so no one knew if you were ever bluffing. You won a lot of the rounds. It was funny seeing the guys get really frustrated when they thought they had a good hand of cards but then realized that they were beaten.

The news broadcast was still playing in the background while you were playing and there were different singers and dancers preforming. Everyone stopped to watch it for a little bit. Without realizing it, Sal started singing along to one of the songs. Joe started to chuckle a little bit and the other two guys noticed too.

"Sal you sound like an idiot with your half singing half mumbling combo," Q joked.

Everyone stopped focusing on the game and started watching the broadcast. Joe recommended that everyone goes back into the living room and sit on the couches. The guys helped put all the cards and poker chips away and then everyone migrated back to the couch. You cuddled up next to Joe and dozed off for a little while. He started to seem a little tired too. Q and Sal were still extremely awake and they were having their own little conversation. It was close to midnight when you fell asleep but you weren't sure how close it actually was. You thought that you would just wake yourself up after a few minutes. At around 11:58pm, you woke back up. Joe was rubbing your back and you smiled at him. The only people that seemed completely awake were Sal and Murr. Q seemed very out of it, almost like he was in some sort of trance. You started watching the last 60 seconds on the countdown at the bottom of the screen but you still zoned out while reading it. That only lasted about 15 seconds.

"Guys, guys, guys, look!" Sal exclaimed while slapping Q's arm gently. It jolted Q awake from his little trance. You woke up completely. It was nearing midnight with only about 15 seconds left in the year. Q, Joe and Sal both began to count down out loud. You looked over at Joe and started counting down with the guys while smiling at Joe. He was smiling right back at you. Murr wasn't interested in chanting with the rest of you, he was just interested in the new year beginning. He wasn't into all the hype that goes with it.

"Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven," with each number you both said, Joe smiled at you more. You knew he was thinking of something. He kept slowly inching a little bit closer with every number, "Six, Five, Four, Three, Tw-" you were cut off by Joe.

The other guys continued counting the last two numbers. They didn't notice that Joe had placed his hand on your waist and brought you in for a kiss. You put one of your hands on Joe's cheek and kissed him back. It was a great way to start the new year. It was your first kiss with Joe and you knew you would never forget it.

Once the clock rang midnight, Q, Sal, and Murr all cheered. They noticed you and Joe and you heard Q say, "Oooooh, get it Joeyyyy!" It made you and Joe back apart from each other and you felt your face turn bright red.

"Happy New Year!" Murr said while raising a glass of wine. You, Q and lifted your wine glasses and Joe raised his glass of sparkling cider.

"Cheers, boys," you say smiling. Everyone clinked their glasses. Joe put his arm around you and took a sip from his drink.

The guys stayed for another while longer to talk and celebrate the new year. They talked a lot about upcoming shows and filming days for new episodes. The guys stayed until almost 2:30am.

"I'll leave you guys be to keep making out or whatever y'all are going to do to celebrate," Q said. He stayed a few minutes later than the other guys did. Him and Joe were talking about a time to figure out the double punishment for Murr and Sal. He gave you and Joe both a hug and then left.

"I dunno about you, but I'm celebrating the new year with some sleep," you say to Joe with a joking tone, but you meant it wholeheartedly. He agreed with you and told you that he had been trying so hard that night to stay awake and to not seem tired. He invited you to stay the night and you accepted. You both went to his room and you kissed Joe goodnight. As soon as you lay down and got comfortable, you were asleep for the night.

A/N: This took a while to upload since I've been really busy lately. For the first time in a while, requests for Sal are open! It doesn't matter if you've sent a request before or not. You can either comment below or PM me. I also am accepting requests for Q, Murr and Joe. I have a request in for Q now, so if there are any new requests, it might take a little while, but I will get to it. Thank you so so much for reading!
