Don’t Be Shy

Request (2): Joe is nervous when Y/N meets a few of the boys.

You had first met Joe a few months ago at an event that you had been invited to. You were standing in a small crowd listening to the speakers, well half listening, half counting the bubbles that had formed in your glass of champagne trying to keep yourself from falling asleep when a stranger leaned in and brought you back to reality. 

“Pretty riveting stuff huh?” The stranger said tilting his head towards the stage. 

“Oh yes, very interesting.” You said before finishing off your champagne. 

“Looks like you could use some more, I know a few places around here that has a lot better champagne than this place.” The man said watching you place your empty glass on the nearby table. 

“We can’t exactly leave...” You started but were cut off. 

“Why not? Neither of us are speaking tonight, you’re not speaking tonight are you?” He asked with a hesitant chuckle and you shook your head. 

“No I’m not. Just here to listen.” You laughed but quickly stopped when the heads of nearby people turned towards your direction. 

“Then lets get out of here.” The man whispered. 

“I don’t even know you're name.” You whispered back. 

“Joe.” Joe said extending his hand out to you. 

“Y/N.” You said taking his hand, giving it a slight shake before he tugged me out of the crowd. “Wait where are we going?”

“To get more champagne and to sit down somewhere because my feet hurt and I can imagine yours do too.” Joe said looking over his shoulder giving you a quick smile before looking down at your heels.

You felt yourself blush for some reason but you allowed the stranger to pull you out of the building and down the street to a nearby pub where you spent the rest of the night getting to know said stranger. 

You didn’t know that you could fall for something after 3 months. There was just something about Joe that made you trust him that night when you first met and that same something made you keep coming back for more. 

Joe felt the same way. In the pub that night he revealed that he had been admiring you ever since you walked through the door, wanting so desperately to talk to you. So when she saw how bored you looked listening to the speaker, he took his chance and luckily you went along. 

When he properly asked you out a few days later, you saw a different side of him. At first he was just a mysterious man that took your hand and lead you to a dimly lit bar and bought you a drink, but this date was different. He had asked you to lunch and he was no longer a mysterious stranger. He was kind and sweet and his eyes lit up every time he laughed, something you didn’t notice in the pub. Shortly after that date he asked you to be his girlfriend. 

The two of you spent the last 3 months doing everything young kids in love did. When you weren’t together, you’d stay up all night FaceTiming or texting each other, neither of you wanting the night to end. When you were together, you’d be all over each other. Obviously it’d be behind closed doors, Joe hadn't anyone about you, not properly anyway. 

His parents knew he was talking to something and his mates knew something was up since he’d always opt out of joining them on a night out. They’d had their suspicions and kept their banter at a minimum as they did eventually want to met whoever Joe was hiding from them.

Just like they had, you had asked Joe when you were going to meet his friends. He talked so highly about them and you had seem them in his videos and really wanted to get to know the six other boys who made of the Buttercreams. Joe’s response would always be, “One day.” which would just cause you to roll your eyes and shake your head at how cautious he was being about you meeting his friends.

You were sat on Joe’s couch, your eyes scanning the words on the pages of the book you were reading while Joe sat everything up in his filming room. 

“Hey Y/N.” You heard Joe call out.

“Hmm?” You said, you're focus not leaving your book. 

“So a few oftheboys....” Joe’s voice trailed off as he fumbled with his filming equipment. 

“What?” You said looking up from your book and glancing back towards the hallway where his voice traveled down.  When you didn’t get a response you closed your book with a sigh and pushed yourself off the couch and made your way over to the room. 

“Whats up?” You said leaning against the doorframe watching Joe adjust his camera on his tripod. 

“You know how you keep asking to meet the boys?” 

“Yes?” 

“Well today is you're lucky day.” He said stepping back from his camera. “A few of them are on their way over to film some videos.” 

“Oh is that so?” You smirked, grabbing Joe’s hands and intertwining your fingers. 

“Mhmm.” He said leaning down to kiss you. “I thought it’d be better to meet them in groups” He said before placing another kiss against you lips.

“Oh? And what group is this?” You said against his lips.

Joe didn’t answer your question, instead he cupped your cheeks and pushed his lips against yours again but this time more passionately than before. You brought your arms around Joe’s neck, pulling him closer to you as his hands moved from your cheeks and down to your thighs and picked you up and carrying you to the bed before laying you down without breaking the kiss.

He positioned himself between your legs and ran his hand down the length of your leg. Your skin turned hot under he's touch even though you were separated by your jeans.

Joe had that affect on you. He could send your heart into a frenzy whenever he blinked and his touch made you melt. You couldn't control yourself around him and you found it very hard to stop once things got started. 

Joe’s lips moved from your lips down to your neck causing you to let out a quiet moan as your hands moved to his his back, slipping themselves under his shirt and running over the outlines of his muscles. 

“Ahem.”  A voice said from behind them causing you and Joe to freeze. 

“We’ll this is something!” Another voice said as Joe got off of you and helped you sit up.

“Um hey guys.” Joe said shyly moving his hand to his neck, “Y/N this is Conor, Josh and Oli. Guys this is Y/N, my girlfriend.”

“Hi” You said giving a little wave as they greeted you. 

“Ok so are we going to film or would you two like to finish?” Conor said looking between the two of you causing your face to flush. 

“Didn’t even start.” You said standing up and giving the boys a quick smile before leaving the room and returning to your spot on the couch. 

“Ha! I like her!” You heard one of the boys say.

“Did you really think that you could get some before we got here mate? We don’t live that far way.” Another one said causing the other two boys to laugh.

“That wasn't what we were doing. We just got caught up in the moment.” Joe’s voice drifted down the hallway. 

“Mate it was exactly what you were doing.” “Awe mate don’t be mad, we’re only joking.” 

“Yeah mate, she seems nice...and fun.” You decided that that voice belonged to the one Joe called Conor. He had a very distinctive laugh he made after every sentence which made you unconsciously smile. 

“We understand why you kept her a secret. Don’t know if she's ready for Cheed’s antics, or Randy’s.” The boy who had a South African accent said. 

“Yeah mate good thing he's not here!” The last boy said; Oli, you said making a mental note. You liked Oli, he was the one who said that he liked you earlier. 

You sat on the couch, book propped open on your lap but you weren’t reading. Instead, you were listening to the boys film, making mental notes of each of the boys. You decided that Oli was sweet like Joe. He was quite but had some good comebacks. Josh was also sweet but in a different way that you couldn't quite place. When the boys were filming his video, you couldn’t help but laugh at the amount of times he had to start a sentence over either because of his own mistakes of because of the boys. Conor was usually the one to get the laugh going with his side comments or just his general personality. 

You brought your attention back to the book on your lap when you hear the boys close of the last video. There were a few mumbles that you couldn't comprehend before the boys filed out of the room. 

“So Y/N, sorry we had to meet you like that.” Oli said with a smile. Yep, you liked him. 

“No worries, it was bound to happen at some point.” You said closing your book, catching a glimpse of the blush on Joe’s cheeks when he came to sit down beside you. 

“If you're not busy tonight, would you like to come to dinner with all of us? You could meet the other three boys but just know, you’ve been warned.” Josh said taking a seat on the couch.

“Yeah, I’d like that. If I don’t go who knows when I’d get to meet them.” You said nudging Joe’s arm before leaning your head on his shoulder. 

“They could just walk in on you two going to town...” Conor started but ended up laughing when Joe shot him a glare. 

You laughed a little at Joe’s reaction causing him to focus his glare to you. 

“Hey, don’t give me that look. You started it I do believe.” You said giving him a smile as you watched Joe’s face relax. 

“Awe you two are too cute.” Josh said causing Joe’s face to turn red for the 3rd time that day. 

“Don’t be shy love.” You said before lifting Joe’s chin and planting a light kiss his lips.
