Joe Pov
You woke up and embraced me. Did you have a nightmare? You began to cry, were you remembering your brother. I began shushing you and rubbing circles on your back. I tried to help you cope with your pain.
"Y/n it's ok I'm here." I told her reassuringly. You looked up at me.
"Joe?" You realize its me. And you gasped.
"Oh my gosh im so sorry Joe!" I smiled and patted your back.
"Its a nightmare, happens to the best of us." I smile
"I know I was just so scared that I needed someone. Im sorry again." I chuckled. You were embarrassed. Nothing to be ashamed of.
"So I hear your the one who caught my shooter?" You smiled. Trying to lessen the tension in the air.
"Yea, I saw your partner running through the subway. And I saw the guy running, so I acted on instincts and just jumped him." I said. Although it was supposed to be your partner who got shot.
"Well thank you, if you didn't catch him I would have to deal with a lot of drama.
"Like I said it happens. And I just came by to visit you."
"Well I don't know how to repay you." Hmmmm I can think of some ways.
"Actually I was thinking of one."
"What is it?" You we're curious. I am too.
"Would you go to dinner with me? You know when your out of the hospital." I asked you. You thought about it till you sighed.
"Sure why not. It's the least I can do for you catching my shooter. Besides your cute enough." I smile at you. And you blush. Cute.
"So am I taking this as a date then?" I asked you with hope. You nodded. And then the fireworks in my head started to go off.
"It's a date." You said confidently. I wanted to talk to you more until a certain someone came through the door. Or certain someone's.
"OH MY GOSH Y/N!" It was your friend Peach. And your partner. Great.
"I'm fine Peach really. Especially since I know that my shooter is caught." You smiled relaxingly. Peach looked at me like I was a killer. Which I almost was but never mind that.
"I think I'm gonna go. Nice to see you again Y/n. Get better and I will see you when you get out." She smiled and waved goodbye while I walked out.
Y/n Pov
"Oh my gosh im so sorry Joe!" I said embarrassingly. Joe smiled and patted my back.
"Its a nightmare, happens to the best of us." Joe smiled as he said it.
"I know I was just so scared that I needed someone. Im sorry again." Joe chuckled. I was embarrassed. Oh my gosh I already messed up.
"So I hear your the one who caught my shooter?" I smiled. Trying to make this less awkward then it already is.
"Yea, I saw your partner running through the subway. And I saw the guy running, so I acted on instincts and just jumped him." Joe said.
"Well thank you, if you didn't catch him I would have to deal with a lot of drama." Thankfully now I don't. If he wasn't found who knows what my mother would have done.
"Like I said it happens. And I just came by to visit you."
"Well I don't know how to repay you." I said. Really I couldn't think of anything.
