Oneshots- Joe and Dianne 💜❤️

Meet the brother: Chats and intentions

Dianne's POV:

" We haven't been to Brighton together....since? Since my birthday right? Yeah I think so?" wracking my brain, as Joe films another section for  his vlog. After arriving yesterday, Joe and Buzz have hit it off like crazy, almost best friends already and so far, our train journey to Brighton has consisted of the two of them swapping embarrassing stories about me and taking the absolute piss, I really couldn't have asked for better if i'm honest; two of the most important men in my life getting along so well. "Yeah we did Di, we only go down for special occasions. Let's hope the weather is good, it's usually awful when I go down, unless you're with me Dot...then it's nice." He smiles, stroking my thigh lightly under the table and turning the camera to focus on Andrew and Mel so he can press a kiss to my cheek. Putting his camera down, he pulls me towards him so I can cuddle into him, knowing how tired I am today and I don't fight it, relaxing against his chest and allowing myself to drift off.

"You're really good for her Joe, you know that right? Just look at her, I don't think i've seen her this carefree in a long time so thank you Joe, honestly. I've got my little sister back." Andrew whispers, assuming that I am actually asleep, desperate to hear what else is said, I keep my eyes closed. "I've not done anything Andrew, she's done it all herself and she's changed me too. I've never been the relationship kind of guy, I didn't have the confidence for it but she proves me wrong every single day. She's just amazing." He replies, twisting the ends of my hair round his fingers and shifting his weight slightly in the seat.. After a few moments of quiet, only light chatter between Mel and Andrew, I feel Joe draw a deep breath, "Andrew, can I ask you something? You said earlier that you hadn't seen her this carefree and that you had finally got her back...what...what did you mean by that? I know she had a rough time with...I mean...before me, at the start of last year but understandably, she doesn't talk about it much. I'm just wondering..." he pauses and I can feel him glancing down at me, probably to check i'm still "asleep". "Has something else happened? Something she hasn't told me about or something I should worry or at least consider? I don't ever want to hurt her but both you and Rina have said similar things and I can't help but worry about her." he finishes, letting out the breath he had been holding. My heartbeat increases as a number of emotions fill my body.

Dread- will Joe be angry or disappointed that I haven't full opened up to him?

Anxiety- what if he treats me differently?

Relief- I mean...it'll lead to an awkward conversation but it's easier than forcing myself to tell him in the first place

Love- He really does care about me...he really does love me.

"Right Joe, I am going to tell you because I know she really struggles talking about it and I think you need to know. But don't bombard her when you tell her you know, you'll push her away and I know you don't mean to. It has always been a..sensitive topic with us because we don't want to see her that way again." Andrew sighs, he always says how hard it is for me talking about it but I know it's just as difficult for him and I will never be able to make it up to him.

As far as big brothers go, I've been blessed with the absolute best.

Joe's POV:

Checking on my sleeping girlfriend once again, a rush of affection floods my body, most of it directed towards her.

Anxiety- what if I have already said something to negatively impact her without realising?

Sadness- This woman is the strongest girl I know, the idea of her being hurt or unhappy genuinely makes me sad.

Relief- I'll be glad to know so I can work on being a better boyfriend and supporting her more.

Love- No matter what it is that she has been through or what she goes through, i'm in this for life. Even just stealing glances while she rests against me, I know my love for her is forever.
