Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

Wiltshire Road Trip: Grandad Chippy

Dianne's POV:
It is COLD. Like unbelievably cold. I've lived here how long now and I STILL cannot deal with the winters. Glancing over the dashboard, I spy the temperature gauge, MINUS 2?!? Are you kidding?! "Joseph? Can I turn the heat up please? I'm freezing." Looking over at him, I can't help but smile...he looks so gooood! "Di, if you want to adjust the heat, just do it. This one here, see?" He replies, pointing out a switch In front of me before reaching behind me and grabbing his coat. "Wrap this around you darling. We only have about half an hour before we get to the hotel. Then I reckon we have time for a quick nap before we head to meet my family." I can see the excitement in his ocean blue eyes: this means everything to him... no pressure!
I must've fallen asleep because when I open my eyes again, we are pulling up outside the hotel. "This place looks amazing Joe oh my god!" Lifting my bag and shrugging into his coat, we head to check in- hand in hand. It's so nice to be able to walk up the street like this. No more hiding, we can finally be open. Looking down at our entwines fingers and rubbing my thumb over his soft skin, I feel content.

As Joe checks us in and takes the room key, I grab our bags and head towards the lift. Reading the key card, i smirk, "fourth floor Joseph...it's a sign!" The pair of us stumble down the corridor, laughing like kids. Bursting through our room door, we drop our bags and flop on the bed on top of each other. Kicking my shoes off, I climb under the covers beside a sleepy Joseph- after my nap in the car, I'm not as tired anymore but he clearly is. I can't help but run my fingers over his face, lightly tracing each feature carefully.
His eyebrows.
His nose.
His dimples.
His lips.
Kissing my thumb, I watch as his eyes flutter open and he flashes me that famous, boyish grin. "At least one of us isn't tired." He mumbles groggily, rolling over me to nestle into my chest. Dragging my fingers through his messy hair, I massage his scalp and watch as his face relaxes again, his eyes flickering closed. His hands roam my body, one reaching up to brush my tattoo, the other resting on my waist, his fingertips almost dancing across my exposed skin. "Right Joe, let's move bub. I need to change my outfit and put on some makeup so I don't look like...what's that thing you compared me to? Oh a gremlin! But I can't do any of that with you pinning me down." Kissing his head I shove him off and head towards my bag as he stares at me, "you never look like a gremlin. You're always beautiful to me." He says softly, pulling himself into a sitting position.

*Time Skip*
Finally happy with how I look, I run my fingers through my loose curls and apply a final layer of my signature red lip before lifting my handbag and heading towards Joe, who was waiting at the door. I can't help the nerves which are crashing through my body as I interlock our fingers and head outside. I know I've already met most of Joe's family; his parents, Zoe, his Nan...but today I'm meeting his grandad.
The man who Joseph admired the most.
In all my competitive career, I've never felt this apprehensive. As we get in the car, I buckle up but my leg begins to bounce subconsciously...stupid nervous twitch.
This is so important to him, I can't screw this up. Joe's hand lands firmly on my leg, holding it still.
"Di? Why are you so worked up? They love you!" He sounds so confident but for once, it does nothing to settle my anxiety. I keep picking at the skin around my nails. "Dianne Claire Buswell. Stop that right now. You are perfect!" Joe says firmly as we arrive at the house. Turning to face me, he touches my face, maintaining eye contact, "I already know they love you. Do you know how excited they were when I told them that the baby of the Sugg family FINALLY had found the one? I thought I'd floored them all! Not only that but when they realised just how beautiful and talented she is, they told me I was well and truly punching above my weight and to never let you go!" He chuckles. Feeling the blush gracing my face, I shake myself off, "you have a way with words Joseph Sugg. Let's go."

Joe's POV:
I can't wait for grandad Chippy to meet Dianne.
My girlfriend.
Finally.
I hope he's proud of me. It's due to him that I'm the gentleman I am today ( well I hope so anyway).  Dads great and I definitely inherited his humour and cynicism but neither of us are exactly romantic. I can always rely on grandad to keep me on the straight and narrow . Driving down the familiar roads, I steal a glance at the beautiful redhead in my passenger seat. Bless her, she seems so nervous. Her legs bounces anxiously. Setting my hand across it to hold it in place, "why are you so worked up?" I wish I could take her stress away. I chat to her for a few minutes before we move to get out of the car. Going round to meet her, I lean down to kiss her but she pushes me away.
"Di huh? Have I done something?" I'm confused...I think this is the first time she's rejected me in a sense! I look down at her and I'm met by her breath taking smile. "You cannot ruin my lipstick Joseph! I am NOT meeting you family with smudged makeup on my face AND yours!" She giggles.

Pulling her into my side and holding her close, I guide her through the back door. "Hi Nan! Grandad! I've brought someone special with me!" I shout as we come through and make our way to the living room. "Alright Zozebo? Alfie? You guys good?" After a muttered response and a quick hug from my sister, I turn to my grandparents. "Nan, Grandad, this is Dianne! My dance partner and now the unfortunate soul who has chosen to be my girlfriend." I tease, grinning like an idiot as my Nan squeezes Di, reluctant to let her go. As they separate, Dianne leans down to hug Grandad chippy before heading over to greet Zoe.

Nan pulls me back into the kitchen to help make tea for everyone. "Jospeh Graham Sugg I am So proud of you! She's as beautiful up close as she is on the Telly! I can tell you've fallen hard for this girl. Are you happy?" Nan gushes as she opens various cupboards, collecting mugs and biscuits. "Pass me the milk would you love?" Reaching over to the fridge, I blush a little, " I'm the happiest I've been in a long time Nan. I can't explain it." Handing the milk over and scratching the back of my neck, nan just looks at me before continuing her routine and states. " I can. You're in love with her. Now how does she take her coffee? Grab her some of those biscuits too, can't have her hungry now." Walking back into the living room, armed with Dianne's coffee and some biscuits, my heart melts at the sight of my girlfriend sitting on the arm of grandads chair, chatting animatedly. "No way!? That's my birthday too! Twins!" I hear her exclaim.
Just when I thought I couldn't love her more.
Handing her the coffee and tucking the biscuits in her pocket for later, "what are you two taking about? Good things I hope!" I say, winking at Di. "Birthdays Joseph! Did you know that Grandad Chippy and I have the same birthday! 6th of May is the best day!" She laughs, making grandad smile.

Time flies by and as our visit draws to an end, we gather round, taking pictures of everyone. Di and I balance on either arm of grandads chair with our arms behind him. Taking my phone off Zoe and checking the photo, I set it as my home screen.
Two of my favourite people and I'll be able to see both of them every time I open my phone.
Saying our goodbyes and making our way back to the car, I pull Dianne in for a quick hug and kiss her forehead. "You've got the Chippy seal of approval, you're stuck with me forever now. They love you so much Di. And I love you most." She steps back slightly to meet my gaze.
"Sorry Joseph...Grandad Chippy is the love of my life. I'm SO over you." She chuckles, her laughter ringing like a bell. Singing badly to the playlist on my phone, we head back to the hotel to prepare for our day exploring Wiltshire tomorrow. Unlocking my phone, Dianne's Face lights up.... "Joseph... I love it."
