bumps and bruises

suggested by Anoymoose1273 sorry it's been so long! hope it's ok!

It was another day of lockdown in the UK and was a Monday morning, which meant that Dianne had promised another themed workout to do with Joe. The time was currently ten am and Dianne was curled up on the couch, trying to choreograph a basic routine for the 70s themed live and Joe was in his office live streaming on twitch.

"Right come on Dianne. You're a professional on strictly, surely you can put together a few simple steps." She muttered to herself, clearly struggling with the task she had at hand.

Dianne was yet to find an outfit and she'd probably have to find one for Joe too! The time was ticking and it was getting closer to 11:30 and people will be waiting.

"Ok thank you guys so much for joining my twitch stream, I hope you enjoyed. I do need to jump off now and find a 70s themed outfit for the workout! Head on over to Dianne's channel to join in." Joe ended his livestream, which went on longer than expected, and ran up the stairs to find Dianne, skipping one each time.

"Dot. Gosh sorry, I got carried away and didn't realise the time." He said panting after the treck upstairs.

"It's fine, i've got you my pants you can wear and just this shirt with your white jacket? Yeah?" She questioned.

"Perfect!"

Joe stepped into Dianne's soft trousers (or pants as she calls them) and pulled them up. Looking at himself in the mirror he could see Dianne's reflection behind him, laughing.

"What's so funny?" He asked, smirking slightly.

"Oh nothing, it's just. Well. It's a bit tight down there isn't it!" She giggled.

"Oh erm yeah haha." Joe awkwardly laughed.

"Right let's swap, you put these on and i'll wear those. Hopefully it'll look a little better for you!" She said, still recovering from her laughing fit.

Joe pulled on the second pair of trousers that seemed to fit much better. He completed up his outfit with a black afro wig and some glasses.

"This any better?" Joe asked turning around to see Dianne tucking in her shirt to her pants.

"Perfect!" She exclaimed.

"Joe, how do I look?" She questioned.

"Super 70s! I love it! Are those trousers alright though? They look a little long to dance in, I don't want you to slip on the floor."

"Yes Joey, they'll be fine i'll just tuck them in. See." She showed him how the outfit would look and then they both headed downstairs to set everything up.

"Right then Joseph, shall we do it one more time to music?" Dianne said.

It was nearing to twelve pm and she wanted to get off soon so she could still have a productive day. Joe nodded his head as he was reading the chat which was going so fast it was nearly impossible.

"Last time, come on Joe!!" She shouted over the music.

Dianne was loving the style of dance and she was so happy with the moves she eventually managed to put together. Although Dianne's right trouser leg slipped out of the boot, she continued to dance and move onto the next move. All of a sudden, her heel caught the bottom of her pants and she slipped, landing straight on her lower back.

Joe, unsure what to do, he turned off the music and went down to Dianne to see if she was ok. He could see tears brimming in her eyes, he knew he had to end the live, Dianne would hate for this to be on camera.

"Guys i'm going to end this and see what's happened. We hope you enjoyed and we'll see you all again very soon!" Joe quickly ended the stream.

As soon as Dianne was sure the live had ended, she let out an awaited sob. Joe made his way over to her and brought her into his lap.

"Hey hey, listen to me sweetheart. What hurts?" He asked, wanting to know if she was badly injured.

"The bottom of my back. Ow Joe I-I can't move." She replied still crying.

She then lay down as it seemed to be the only comfortable position for her back.

"Right, stay down for a little bit. Does anything else hurt?" Joe asked, slightly panicking.

"Not really, my arm a little." She mumbled as her eyes were closing.

"Dianne, Dot. Dot. Stay awake for me Sweetie." Joe said whilst stroking her hard enough so she wouldn't drift asleep.

"I'm tired." She whined.

"I know, we'll stay down here for another ten minutes and then i'll help you up onto the sofa, yeah?"

The ten minutes passed fast, Joe was just trying to comfort her and talk to her the whole time.

"Rightio Gorg, ready to get up slowly?" He said, tentatively getting up.

Joe went round behind Dianne and helped pull her up, letting her lean against him when she started to sway slightly. Clearly a bit dizzy.

"Alright?" He asked once she was safely on the couch, propped up with plenty of pillows and a glass of water.

She nodded and smiled slightly even though the adrenaline was wearing off so the pain was becoming worse.

Joe helped his hurt girlfriend take of her silly wig and big boots and took off his own wig too. Then he cuddled in next to her, being careful of what was sore.

"Do we have any paracetamol? My back is killing me?" She said softly, it was clear she'd been crying again.

"I'll have a little look now, do you want a hot water bottle for it too?"

"That'd be lovely, thank you Joseph!"

As the kettle boiled and Joe went to find some pain medicine, Dianne took to twitter to let everyone know she was fine and had just slipped and landed onto her back.

Joe soon returned with the pills and Dianne took them, hoping they'd help. He placed the hot water bottle behind her and snuggled down, letting her cuddle into him.

"What did I do to deserve you Joey?" Dianne said so quietly it was barely audible.

"What was that Dotty?" Joe asked teasing the roots of her hair.

"Oh nothing. Love you." She placed a kiss onto his hand which was close by to her face.

"I love you too my clumsy girl!"
