Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

Semi-finals: meet the parents

Dianne's POV:
These next few weeks are going to drag in. Tension is high as we have made it all the way to the semi- finals 2018! Social media star Joe Sugg  and his dance partner Dianne Buswell; semi-finalists! The dancing itself is fine...it's going well...dare I even say good? Considering we have two dances this week, Joseph has really impressed me. I mean he always does but he has nailed the choreography and his technique has really improved so much which is really obvious this week! Outside of the dance studio, this thing Joe and I have going on is amazing. He really is a true gentleman in every way; I never ever dreamt that I could meet the man of my dreams, through a dance show in the UK.
I'm so lucky!

I've barely spent a night alone since October and I couldn't be happier. The only thing weighing on me is how our...relationship I guess...is going to change after strictly. I'm going to be on tour most of this year- will the distance be too much? We have basically lived in each other's pocket for the last 11 weeks. I get the feeling that I won't be as good with the separation this time round...anyway, I don't even want to think about that now.

We have really been putting the hours in this week and are currently cuddled up on the loveseat, staring out the window over a dark London night, after nearly 14 hours of training. There are no words to be spoken, we are just embracing these moments of tranquility in what will be a chaotic week. My head is currently tucked into Joe's shoulder, between his neck and I have one hand placed over his heart. There's just something relaxing about the feel of his heartbeat, I could lie here forever. Our silence is disturbed by Joe's ringtone. Shifting his weight slightly to get his phone from his pocket, he looks at it and glances to me; "can I answer this? It's my mum and I've not spoken to her in a few days."
"Yeah yeah! Quick before it rings out silly!" I laugh. "Hello mothership, how are you..."

I snuggle back into him and zone out, not wanting to interrupt but equally not wanting to leave his side. Joseph absent mindedly plays with the ends of my hair and gently caressing the skin on my shoulder. It's the little moments like this that make me smile the most. Watching his confidence blossom not only in dance but in our private life too. Looking back to our first kiss, first night together and our first date...he was so nervous bless him! He always wants to make sure I'm okay, to protect me and keep me safe. I know he hasn't done this whole relationship thing in a while and that just makes it even more special to me. He really is MY Prince Charming.

"Yeah yeah mum, Dianne is amazing as always, still kicking my arse in training and feeding me regularly I promise! She's right beside me now. By the way, Have you seen Nan recently I miss her. I need to visit soon, it's been too long..." Joe rambles on and I can't help but feel a wave of emotion crash over my body. I KNOW I'm going back to Bunbury at Christmas but it really can't come soon enough. I miss my mum and dad. I miss my brothers and their kids. I miss my Nan. Before I can stop myself, I feel the tears prick and drip slowly down my face...I know I'm being stupid but I can't help it.

I miss them.

Joe's POV:
I've been chatting to my mum for half an hour now whilst Di cuddles into me. It's been so nice to have a catch up with mum, feels like forever since I've been able to chat to her and the last time I saw her...I introduced Dianne as my girlfriend. I still can't quite believe it. Maybe it's because we don't use the labels "girlfriend/boyfriend" out loud yet but it's surreal that this beautiful woman chose me.
As my conversation with mum reaches an end, I feel Di shift slightly under me and I go back to tracing patterns softly on the exposed skin on her shoulder. While I am saying my goodbyes, I feel her body begin to shake weakly and notice a growing damp patch on my shirt.
Shit she's crying! What have I done?
"Alright mum, I've got to go, Dianne needs me. Love you! See you soon! Bye!"

Setting my phone down, I carefully lift Dianne's body so she is now lying fully on my chest, inbetween my legs. I hold her tightly with one arm around her, resting on her waist and brushing the stray hairs from round her face with the other. "Hey hey what's wrong my girl? Talk to me. Is it something I've said or done?" I ask, stroking her hair slowly and rubbing a little patch of skin on the small of her back. She buried her face into my chest as she continues to cry softly. Giving her a minute or two, I try again. "C'mon Di, you can tell me anything you know. Let Old Suggy know what's getting to you so he can try and fix it." She raises her head and gives me a watery smile ( RESULT! I'm getting there...suck on THAT Zoe) "Old Suggy huh? You're still two and a half years younger than me mate!" She sniffs, "I'm just being stupid,I'm sorry. Ignore me Joseph." Wiping her tears away almost angrily, she weight changes as if she's going to pull away from me. "Not a chance Miss Buswell. We are staying right here, in this position, until you tell me what's got you so down." I say firmly. As the tears begin to stream down her face again, I wipe them away with my thumb. She takes my hand and holds it in hers and placing both over my heart. She then rests her head on clasped hands. "I just...hearing you talk to your mum and about your family...I really miss my mum and dad." Wiggling my fingers a little bit, I reposition our hands so I can stroke her cheek lovingly with my thumb. "Di, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean..."
"Joseph stop right there. I was already tired, emotional and probably PMSing so it's not your fault. I know I'll be back with them soon, it's just really hit me tonight I guess. But I know it's okay because I have you right now and that's all the family I need right now. I've got to learn to be patient." She mumbles into my chest. My hand moves up from her back to trace the tattoo on her neck. "Why don't we- I mean you FaceTime your mum? I'm sure she would love to see you and chat for a while." I suggest lightly. "It's midnight here so it's what? 7am In Bunbury?" She looks up at me and I can see her trying to work out the time difference. "Um...yeah. She's usually up from 6am anyway, we are all early birds in the Buswell household."she giggles, sitting upright now. Glancing down at my chest, she stares and looks up at me with a guilty look on her face and mascara under her eyes. "What is it my little panda?" I tease. "Yeah...panda...that's the thing...I forgot I had makeup on and er...you're white shirt...I'm so sorry!" She stammers. Rolling my eyes dramatically, "first my white towels red...now my white shirt black? This girlfriend business is definitely colourful," I laugh as I tickle her sides causing her to squirm. As we compose ourselves again, "Don't worry about it Di, you know I have hundreds. Just means you can have this one to sleep in, doesn't it?" I chuckle, changing my position so I can pull my little reddo back onto my lap. "Right. Let's FaceTime mum and dad," she says, pulling out her phone.

"I reckon it's about time I introduce them officially to my boyfriend. Mums gonna kill me for keeping it from her for this long...or you. Either of us really." She laughs
