Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

Quick step: They'll love you!

Dianne's POV:
Blackpool! We made it! We've got a quickstep this week and the choreography I've given Joe is definitely quite tough but if we Ace it like rehearsals, it'll be a showstopper! The pressure is really on this week (more so than last week), Joe seems fine with this dance but I'm really struggling. The dancing I KNOW I can do, I mean I choreographed it after all...I can't explain it, I feel...almost nervous and definitely very stressed. Maybe I'm just tired. Maybe it's just the atmosphere in Blackpool or maybe it's because I know Joe's family have travelled up to be in the audience.

But, I have absolute faith in Joseph. He is so dedicated and I know how much this means to him. If I can shift this feeling, our performance will be AH-MAY-ZING! Standing up and fixing my dress, I need to find Joseph for our dress rehearsals before the big show. Heading towards wardrobe, I meet Stace and Ashley, " Hey! Has anyone seen Joe?" It had been about an hour since I last seen him and I'm beginning to stress...again.
"I think I seen him heading backstage, you guys are up soon for run-through." Stace replies, "you alright Lady Di? You look tense." She pulls me into a tight hug. "Yeah, I just needed that, thanks Stace!" I sigh. Pulling away, I head to find Joseph. I see him, stood in the wings and I instantly melt a little bit. Messy top-knot, trackie dacks and tails- my half dressed Fred Astaire. Running my hand up his back, resting it on his shoulder, I can feel his nerves radiating..." we got this Joseph, I believe in you."

Once we get to the stage, I compose myself and take my starting position. As we begin to move, I can feel something change in Joe- he skips a step and I can see the panic in his face. He drags me in the wrong direction...WHAT IS HE DOING?! "One, two, three, four! ONE, TWO, THREE,FOUR!" I count in vain. Great. This is ALL we need. Forgotten choreography hours before the show. When we finish, I look up at Joe and he knows I'm in a dangerous mood. "What was THAT Joseph? You KNOW this!" I growl...I didn't mean for it to come out that harshly but I can't take it back now.
"Di, I'm really sorry, I'm so sorry...I..."He stammers, " Just save it Joe! I'll be back, I just need...I need a break." I sigh, heading to find a dark corner. I shouldn't of lost my temper...I know I hurt him...in front of his family.

I know I'm in love with him...I just need to gather myself and tell him.

Joe's POV:
I've let her down, in front of my Nan and my Mum. I let her down. I missed a step and panic took over. What am I DOING?! After Dianne left, I just wanted to crumble. I head over to meet my mum and Nan, if anyone is going to talk some sense into me, mum will. She can help me make it up to Dianne-shit that means I've got to TELL her... Di and I haven't even talked about that yet.

Sighing, I flop into the seat beside mum, " I really screwed up mum and not just the dance. Dianne is pissed at me."
"Joseph Graham Sugg! Have I taught you nothing? Firstly, don't dwell on the past, fix the mistakes and move on. Secondly,if Dianne is upset, why are you sitting here? Go find her! I guarantee, even if she told you to leave her alone, you are the only person she wants right now. I miss nothing...I see the way you look at each other." Rubbing my arm, mum just smiled at me, "now go get your lady." Nan butts in, "and Joe? No matter what happens tonight, you've done me proud. That beautiful girl is better than winning any show."
With a new found spring in my step, I head off in search of Dianne.

Finding her curled in the corner, my heart melted seeing her this defeated. Di is always the one who holds the confidence, the positivity- so today? That's my role. Reaching out for her hands, I pull her to her feet and hold her tight. Burying my nose in her hair, "I'm sorry Dianne, I screwed up, I panicked and I've stressed...no I've hurt you. But I've got this, I KNOW the routine and I'm confident." Stepping back from her, I lift her chin and kiss her gently, "I mean it Dianne, I am sorry and I'm going to smash it tonight, i promise."
She giggles softly, " Dianne? That's very formal of you Joseph, it's almost strange not hearing you say Di! I'm just tired, I didn't mean to be that harsh on you," cuddling back into me, she sighs, " I'm sorry too Joseph, I just needed...THIS." Kissing her head, I pull away again, " Right Lady Di, there are a few people I'd like you to meet...both of which knocked some sense into me for tonight."

Wrapping my arm around her waist, I guide Dianne backstage, through the wings and out to my Nan and Mum. I notice Di start to pull back a bit, " Joe...are you sure you want to...to introduce me? What if...I'm not good enough for you or not right for them? I..." I watch her retreat, pulling her back into me, I hold her tighter than before. " Di, I've never been more sure of anything. Don't worry! They'll love you! I love you! That's all that matters, I promise you."
Shit.
We've never said that before.
Shit.
I look down at Dianne and I'm met with that beautiful beaming smile of hers. She kisses me, taking me by surprise with the passion it packed. As she breaks away, She strokes my neck lightly and what she says next, only makes my confidence grow.
"I love you too Joseph Sugg. Now let's go meet the women who helped kick your arse,"she laughs. Dragging her close to me again, wrapping my arm around her small frame, I hold her against me. Now, standing slightly taller and with an undeniable grin on my face, we head over to my family.

I'm finally going to introduce my girlfriend.
