You Being Imperfect makes You Perfect (Joe Goldberg x Reader)

Date Disaster

Joe's Pov

Now after I invited Paco in to help me choose my outfit, I couldn't get you out of my mind. The thought of the two of us laughing into the night was a sight I smiled at. Apparently Paco noticed. Slapping on that mischievous grin I knew all too well.

"So Joe who is this lucky gal?"

"Paco don't say gal, your actually scaring me." I smiled

"Well tell me some things about her." I sighed

"Well her name is Y/n and she is the most beautiful specimen I have ever seen." I said daydreaming.

"Well she is super lucky to have got someone like you." I chuckled and shook my head.

"Actually Paco its the other way around."

Carmen was helping me pick out an outfit for today with Joe. I haven't had a date since before I enlisted in the army. She was looking through my closet.

"So Y/n you got any spicy facts to spill about your soon to be husband?" She smiled.

"Haha Carmen your so funny." I said sarcastically.

"Just shut up and tell me." I sighed and thought.

"Well his calm and collective personality. Also he isnt lacking in the intelligence department. He just makes me feel like me."

"Well I can tell you that he is super lucky to have you." I smiled

"Honestly I think I'm the lucky one. After that part of my past I thought I would never love again." I said sadly. Carmen smiled and pat my back supportively.

"Well for a while I did too. Only because you would scare off all the guys at the precinct who would look at you." She said jokingly. I simply put a smile.

"Haha your so funny." I said sarcastically. She bowed exaggeratedly.

"Thank you, I try." I playfully punched her arm. She hit me back.

"Okay now lets get you ready for your date Captain." Carmen said excitedly.

Joe's Pov

I waited outside of your apartment complex. Its already 5 minutes past the set date. Did you stand me up? Ugh I should've known that a girl like you would've done that. I was going to head inside until I heard you.

"Joe wait," I turned to see you, I guess I was wrong about you.

"You weren't here so I thought you stood me up," I told you honestly.

"What, no why would you think of me like that? Did you not think I'm a good person?" You told me angrily. You have every right to be. Because I accused you of something your not.

"I'm sorry that I assumed you to be that type of person. It's just anyone who has asked me on a date stood me up. When I saw you didn't show I thought how a pretty person like you wouldn't ever try someone like me." I told her depressingly. I hate to have her feel bad but this is a way so she won't get mad at me and possibly cancel this date.

"It's fine Joe, just don't think of me like that again please." You told me with a smile on your face. I smiled embarrassingly of course.

"Promise, now should we head off?" I stuck out my arm to you in a gentlemen like manner. You locked your arm with mine as I led the way for our magical night.

Y/n Pov

As we arrived at the restaurant we were escorted to our table. We sat and we started small chat.

"So Joe see you know how to look pretty."

"You don't look too bad yourself [Y/n] [L/n]."

"Why thank you Joe. Always nice to receive a compliment once and a while."

"Well then expect once and a while to occur a lot tonight."

"Woah Joe, is there a sexy flirtatious man I see hidden between all those books?"

"Cant tell, its my secret."

"Haha, very funny Clark Kent."

"Why thank you Lois Lane."

We both laughed. Throughout the night  we enjoyed ourselves well with each other. We laughed and i smiled and we eventually ate. As we were finishing up our meal. We were going to stay for a little bit and chat a tad bit more before we left. But someone had to interrupt our meal.

"So [Y,n] this is how you spend your days? Whoring yourself around to men when your neglecting your duties as well as husband. Shouldn't have expected anything less of a failure of a future ruler." My father said

Joe got up and stared straight at my father with hate in his eyes. Right behind my father was my younger brother Adam. He hated me just as much as my father does. I couldn't even say anything, i was so embarrassed.

"Hey old man, dont go calling my girlfriend that. She isn't a whore and she isn't a failure. The only failure i see i am currently addressing." Joe said angrily I looked up at Joe in shock. If only he knew he was.

"Listen here boy, you will address me with respect and i will be treated with such respect. Also your girlfriend here is my failure of a daughter. [Y,n] [L,n] of the royal family. My greatest disappointment ever. You two are perfect now that i think about it. Two failures together." I was pissed.

"Father, you have no right to call him that. You can rant all about me, call me all these names, but dont you ever assault my boyfriend. Your a despicable man, who shouldn't even be here. So go back to your snobby environment and dont call me a failure when you yourself cant even be a grown up when you address me." I grabbed Joe's hand and i was going to lead us out of there until i heard my youngest brother say his own death wish.

"At least father didn't fail in protecting his people, especially his own family. At least he's not the reason why our youngest brother is dead." I was furious. I let go of Joe's hand and i slowly walked towards Adam. I finally stood in front of him, and i punched him straight in his smug jaw.
