Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

Christmas time: Home

Dianne's POV:
"Bye Zoe! Bye Alf! Thank you both so much for letting me tag along, I've honestly had the best time!" I shout as Joe pulls out of the parking space. Closing the window, I wave until Zoe is out of sight and then I turn my attention back to the other Sugg sibling, "and thank you Joseph, for bringing me and making these last few days so special to me." I add softly, stroking his hand which is placed on the gear stick. "I'm glad you enjoyed yourself my love, I didn't know what else to get you and no way was I just getting you a bloomin tamagotchi for our first Christmas together!" He laughs, "Zoe would've killed me, never mind you! She keeps trying to corner me to give me "boyfriend 101" tips, did you notice?" I can't help but chuckle, "I did actually! She got me too when we were in the hot tub." I watch as the colour drains from his face... "don't worry, I told her you were a true gentleman, absolutely amazing and that we still flip a coin for the bed." I tease. "Stop stressing Joseph! Even if you were the the worst boyfriend in the world, I'd love you anyway. You're perfect to me, okay?"
Connecting my phone to the radio, I play our strictly playlist and begin to zone out- I've had the most relaxing few days but I still haven't managed to catch up on my sleep. Thinking back to our recent adventures, the beach walks, couples massages and even games night. I feel content and feel myself drift off to sleep as Joe drives.

"Di baby? Wake up my love, we are home now. Come on!" I'm drawn from my sleep by Joe's gentle voice and his hand on my thigh, stroking my leg with his thumb. Pulling up in the lot, Joe springs into action, grabbing both our bags and opening my door for me. As we pile into the lift, I lean against him again, still sleepy. "You've got to wake up Dianne or Santa Sugg won't come!" Joe smirks, what on Earth does he have planned? I know we have planned to celebrate Christmas tonight but I didn't expect him to make a big deal...good job I've hidden his presents in his own bedroom-right under his nose- Go on Dianne!

Once we get through the front door, Joe lets out a sigh of relief, "home sweet home Di! Right let's leave our bags here, we can sort them later. Let's do CHRISTMASSS! I'll get the lights and stuff sort!" He shoots off. He's like a...well he's like a kid on Christmas I guess! "Alright Joseph, alright, let me run upstairs and change while you set up." I peck his cheek and run upstairs to grab my Christmas jumper and his presents.
I cannot BELIEVE I've pulled this off!

Joe's POV:
Di ran upstairs to grab her Christmas jumper. I know we SAID no presents but I've bought her a few little ones...and one more special. I'm a big nervous as I wander about my office, collecting the various items I had hidden- she never comes in here anyway but I wasn't taking any chances. I lay them out in a little pile in front of the Christmas tree, stepping back I smile gently to myself. Maybe I'm alright at this boyfriend then. Go on Joe!

Heading towards the kitchen, I see Di bouncing down the stairs with a huge bag in front of her. "Di what the bloody hell is that?"
"Just a few bits Joe I promise! I had to get you something and well...you're really difficult to buy for." Dancing round the tree, she begins to organise the things neatly. Grabbing two glasses and the wine, I shuffle over to sit on the beanbags in front of the Christmas tree. Before I sit down, I stand behind Di (who seemed mesmerised by the lights) and wrap my arms around her. Kissing her temple, "Merry Christmas my love!" I whisper, "now I've Don't the romantic thing, can we do presents PLEASE??

Reaching over, I pass Dianne her first present. "This one is just a joke present. Oh and ignore my wrapping, like my dad...I'm bloody awful!" Watching her face light up, I know it's alright- her sense of humour is brilliant and I love it! "Oh my god! A pimple popper! Cool! I'm going to have far too much fun with this! Thanks!" She gushes. Handing me a large box, I shake it cautiously before opening it. "You're very own ballroom training shoes Joseph! I hope they're okay?" She mumbles softly. Grabbing her hands in mine, I can't help but grin. "For our dance lessons every week! Dianne! You're amazing! I love them!"
We continue through the many presents we have gotten each other and a thought hits me. "Di?" She looks up from the tamagotchi I got her, "yes Joseph?"
"Where did you hide all these??" I look around the multiple boxes my gifts had come in. She just giggles and shrugs, "in your wardrobe. I TOLD you that you have too much stuff in there!"

As I pass up her last few presents, I hide the smallest one in my pocket. "It's a mini Joe pillow! I love it! I love YOU! I need to pack it tonight. It's totally coming to Australia with me!" She leans across the beanbag to hug me and I pull her to her feet, still holding her, leading her over to the sofa. Sitting her on my lap, "I've one more gift left for you Di." Suddenly nerves take over and my palms begin to sweat. Reaching into my pocket, I tell Dianne to close her eyes and put out her hands. Taking a deep breath, I place the small box into her open palms. I begin to play with the ends of her hair as she opens her eyes.
She looks at the small box and gasps.
"Now before you freak out, it's not what you think, open it." I ramble. She opens it and looks up at me, touching my face lightly and I start mumbling again, " I mean, it doesn't mean you have to but...I'd like..."
"Joseph..." She interrupts
"Dianne I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have..."I continue.
"JOE!" She says again, running her fingers through my hair before lifting the little silver key and the attached Ariel keyring and heading over to her handbag. After digging for a minute or two, she finds her bunch of keys and climbs over the sofa to cuddle back into my side. Looking up at me, "can you put it on my keys please?" She asks quietly, lying down so her head is on my lap, her hair fanning out. Handing her back the keys, I begin to brush her hair gently, " I want you to come and go here as you want. Even if I'm not here. You don't have to fully move in if you don't want to but let's face it, you're always here anyway and I love having you here." Now running my fingers through the length of her hair, I look down at her and see her eyes closed but she has the biggest smile on her face.
"You'll regret that Joseph. Just wait til everything you own is dyed red, there are hundreds of pairs of dance shoes lying around and all my beauty products in your bathroom. But now it's too late, you're stuck with me now. Forever ." She laughs lightly, reaching up to bring my arm down around her. "I can't wait to come back from Australia. To come home." She smiles peacefully.

You've done it Joseph! It might've taken you until 27 but you've done it. You've got the beautiful girl, the home together.

What more could you want?
