series masterlist
Tumblr media
June 26, 2023
6 months pregnant
You were laughing along with Morgan and Holly as Tee told a story about his bar experience from a couple nights ago. As you were attentive to the story Tee was telling about a fan encounter, Joe was dealing with his own fan encounter...
"Excuse me." An unfamiliar feminine raspy voice spoke from beside you. You glanced in the direction of the voice, eyebrows furrowing as you looked at the source of this new voice. A tall woman with wavy copper red hair, bleach blonde highlights and blue doe eyes approached Joe with a soft smile on her plump red lips. You figured it was just a fan so you turned your attention back to the group you were conversing with before.
Joe turned his head to the left to look at the woman who looked to be in her early twenties. A half smile half smirk pulled at his lips as he looked at her.
"Hi Joe," she said, flashing him her best smile, "I don't know if you remember me, it's Izzy."
"Yeah I remember, we talked on the phone last week about the..." Joe glanced over in your direction, careful not to say his next words too loudly, "uh arrangement."
Your head perked up at a few of the words you picked up through your left ear: Izzy and arrangement.
Who's Izzy and what is this arrangement?
You eyed the two carefully, half listening to the conversation you were having with your friends and half listening to Joe's interaction. Izzy smiled as she placed a hand on Joe's shoulder, her infectious laughter filling your ear. You turned to look at the interaction your boyfriend and this Izzy girl were having. You couldn't help but feel a little jealous at the hand placement and the smiles on their faces as they spoke.
It almost seemed like they had some sort of history together...
"You never called me back." Izzy said, voice laced with slight disappointment as she spoke, "I get you're busy but, I need to know if this will work Joe."
Joe nodded in response, "I know and we will, but," he glanced around the table full of his teammates and friends before bringing his face closer to Izzy's, "Can we talk about this later? I don't want Y/n to know."
You felt your heart drop to your stomach at the mention of your name. The conversation you were having was now long forgotten as you gave your full attention to Joe. You turned towards him, folding your arms over your chest and letting them rest on your belly as you looked at him.
The red head, Izzy, made eye contact with you as she spoke, "Sure sweetie. Don't forget to send me the details." Joe nodded at her words as he spoke, "I'll send them to you tonight so you'll be prepared. Thanks Iz."
Prepared for what? You didn't know exactly, but you'd make it your mission to find out and get to the bottom of it. Izzy smiled at you, saying a soft hello and congratulations before she sauntered away from the table. Your lips parted as you just watched her walk away from Joe like nothing happened. Your thoughts were running wild, all of them going to the worst possible case scenario. There was no reasoning with yourself on this one.
Joe was cheating on you. He had to be.
You looked at Joe with an expression full of hurt and confusion. How could he do this to you? How could he do this to your little family? You just got back on good terms with Sam and now you have to deal with this.
"Joe?" You squeaked out softly, making your boyfriend turn around to look at you. His face filled with worry as he looked at you. Joe took in your hurt expression, teary eyes, and flushed cheeks. You looked like you'd just seen a ghost and were about .2 seconds away from a breakdown.
"Y/n," he said softly, tone growing worried, "what's wrong?"
You were fine just a few minutes ago. You were upbeat, happy, laughing with Tee and seeming to enjoy the team dinner. Right now, your whole demeanor took a full 180. Joe figured it was just the hormones making you feel this way, after all you have been having some mood swings lately.
You scoffed at your boyfriends obliviousness, "What's wrong?" You shook your head, "You're seriously asking me what's wrong?"
It's definitely not mood swings.
Joe parted his lips as his eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Y/n, baby I don't know what's going on but-."
"Was I not enough for you?" You asked, voice full of hurt. You placed your hands on your bump as you looked directly into Joe's confused blues, "Were we not enough for you?"
"I-" Joe stuttered, "I don't know what you're talking about? Of course you are. Both of you are."
You wiped a tear away as you sniffled softly, trying to compose yourself and not make a scene in the restaurant. You were feeling so many different emotions and it was a matter of time before they all came pouring out.
"Then who the hell is Izzy? What kind of arrangement do you have with her Joe, hmm?" Joe's face fell at your words. Now he looked like one that had just seen a ghost. "Y/n, you weren't supposed to hear that."
"Yeah I figured." You said, voice cracking with emotion as you tried to sound bitter. Joe's Adams apple bobbed as he gulped. His mind was going crazy with thoughts on he was going to explain this to you. He knows what it looks like to you.
"Was I ever going to find out or were you going to keep sneaking around behind my back?"
The hurt in your voice and the distraught look on your face had Joe's heart breaking. He stayed silent. He couldn't find the right words to explain himself, at least not in the middle of team dinner. You shook your head in disbelief at his silence. You stood up from the table and gathered your things. You walked away from the group, leaving a few of your friends and Joe's teammates stunned as they saw the tears rolling down your cheeks. That's all the confirmation you needed.
You choked out a sob as you jogged out of the restaurant, ignoring the looks from the concerned hostess and couple waiting tone seated. You pushed open the doors of the restaurant and stood by the entrance, chest heaving as tears rolled uncontrollably down your cheeks. You knew you looked crazy, insane even. But you had no control over your emotions right now--none at all.
You were feeling absolutely gutted. You were certain that Joe was cheating on you. Why else would some random, hot, model like twenty something year old approach Joe about a certain arrangement in public? He had to be cheating.
Your chest heaved up and down as you choked out painful sobs. The tears poured down your cheeks as cried into your hands. Each time your thoughts wandered to Joe your sobs grew harsher, almost to the point where you felt sick.
This almost hurt worse than the drama with Sam.
As you continued to cry and let out all of your emotions, you started to feel sick. Extremely sick to your stomach. The sudden wave of nausea crept up your throat and your mouth filled with saliva. Before you knew it, you were hunched over and throwing up all the content of your stomach. You grabbed your hair pulling it back as your chest heaved. Suddenly, you felt a hand on your back, rubbing soothing circles as they shushed you softly. The touch was so gentle, almost like if it was any harder it would shatter you into a thousand pieces. You wiped your mouth with the back of your hand, letting out a soft sniffle as you did so. You wiped your cheeks and turned to see whose hand was on your shoulder. Your heart dropped and you let out a pained cry as you saw who it was.
Joe.
"Don't touch me," you cried out, pulling away from his touch, "Please."
Joe pulled his hand back, a deep frown was on his face as he looked at you. You never pulled away from his touch no matter how upset you were with him. He must have really fucked up.
"Y/n," he said softly, "it's not what you think-."
"Then what is it, Joe." You seethed, turning around to face your boyfriend. You wiped the tears off your cheeks as you looked at him with a look full of sadness and a hint of disgust. "What could it possibly be if it's not what I think."
Your emotions were running wild. Pregnancy hormones really show no mercy.
Joe let out a sigh as he ran his hands down his face, "I," he hesitated, "I can't tell you."
You scoffed as more tears welled in your eyes. Why can't he say?
"If you're cheating on me, please tell me now." You looked into his eyes, a tear rolling down your cheek as you continued, "Because I don't want to find out through a gossip site that you got another girl pregnant. Was one not enough for you?"
Ouch. Joe couldn't deny it, that one hurt.
"Y/n," Joe pleaded as another sigh escaped his lips, "I'm not cheating on you." He said desperately, trying to reach out for you.
You shook your head, turning away from him once again. Your chest heaved as your sobs picked up again. Joe's heart broke as he watched the woman he loved more than anything in the world. The woman carrying his baby boy that he already loved more than life itself. Break down into shambles all because of him and some stupid surprise he was trying to plan for you.
"Sweetheart," Joe said softly, "please look at me." The crack in his voice made you reluctantly look at him again. Joe's blue eyes were watery as he looked at you wearing a guilty expression. Once you locked eyes with Joe, he continued speaking.
"I would never cheat on you. I would never do that to you or peanut. Ever."
The mention of your unborn baby's nickname made you place your hands on your six month baby bump. The little boy moved wildly inside of you, clearly sensing your emotional turmoil. You whispered a soft "I'm sorry" down to your protruding belly, knowing your son was probably starting to become just as distressed as you were. You sniffed a coupled times as you just listened to Joe's soft pleas for you to listen to him.
"Y/n please," he pleaded as a tear rolled down his cheek, "you have to believe me. You know I'd never do that to you."
You closed your eyes tightly at his words. You wanted to believe him, you really did. But something just seemed off to you. Yes he denied that he was cheating, but he wouldn't tell you what was actually going on. You shook your head at his pleading, more tears falling from your eyes as you looked at him again. Your heart broke at the sight in front of you. Joe looked absolutely distraught. Lost. Worried. Heartbroken.
"I guess we'll find out how true that is." You said, your eyes showing off every bit of emotion you were feeling. Joe furrowed his eyebrows in confusion as he wiped away his tears, "What do you mean?"
"I mean I can't have this conversation right now Joe. I mean I don't know that I believe you."
Joe's breath hitched in the back of his throat at your words. Your confession absolutely gutted him. How could you believe he'd actually cheat on you? After everything you've been through, all you've done for each other, how could you even doubt your relationship?
"Y/n," Joe said softly, his voice wavering, "we have to talk about this."
You shook your head, sniffling as you spoke just above a whisper, "I can't. Not right now."
"Why not?"
"Because I can't have your parents think that everything is fine between us tomorrow when it's really not. We take about this here, right now, I don't think I'll make that trip." You explained, your voice wavering as you spoke.
Joe gulped as he watched you try to gather yourself before speaking again, "So I'd rather wait to have this conversation somewhere else because I don't think I can handle any more right now."
Between your raging hormones and your heightened emotions, anymore talk about the current situation was only going to make things worse and cloud your judgment even more.
You needed a few days.
Joe's heart dropped to the pit of his stomach at the mention of his parents. His parents. Joe totally forgot that the two of you were traveling to Athens tomorrow morning to stay with his family for a few days before heading to California for his off-season training.
How was he going to explain all of this and pretend everything was fine between the two of you to his parents?
"We can't have this talk at my parents." Joe said shaking his head, "I don't want them to know about this?"
"Why because it's true?" You seethed, snapping at Joe and making him step away from you. Joe shook his head at you. His jaw clenched as he gazed at you.
"There's just no reasoning with you is there?" Joe snapped, his tone matching yours. He continued to speak harshly, "You convince yourself shit is true so it must be true then, right? And that's not all. You refuse to hear anyone out, ever. That is why we get caught up in shit like this Y/n."
Tears welled up in your eyes again at Joe's words. You choked out a sob as you took his words to heart. Ouch.
"Fuck you, Joe." you said, voice cracking with emotion, "I'm done." You slowly started to back away from him as you spoke, "I'm going home with Emma and Sam. You can pick me up there tomorrow on your way through. I can't even look at you right now."
Joe scoffed at you as he shook his head. The air grew tense between you the longer you stood in each others presence.
"Fine by me." Was all he uttered to you. You shook your head in disbelief as the tears threatened to fall from your eyes once again. Both of your hearts were breaking from this conversation, but you knew spending the night away from each other was best.
What a complete disaster of a team dinner.

Jack Harlow x Reader : OFF LIMITS
A/N: Warnings : Some light smut.
Huge thank you to @harlowcomehome for always coming through and helping me with this one. I couldn’t have finished it without her 🫶🏼🤪
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jack has always been a confident man, he was always so sure about himself and those around him. That’s one of the many things that you loved about him.
He’s always been strong on PDA and showing his love and affection, he didn’t care what others would say or think, if he wanted to kiss you, he’d do it. If he wanted you on his lap, he’d make sure to pull you in closer.
You two were private but not hidden, your friends and family knew that you two were together and have been for almost three years.
The public, and the fans had suspicions but could never put the pieces together, so you both took full advantage of that.
Jack barely got jealous, he knew you were loyal, plus you had never given him any reason to think otherwise. So when you two decided to attend a party, you both agreed on arriving separately.
You had arrived first, and were there for almost an hour until Jack arrived.
He was excited to celebrate Tyler Herro’s birthday, but what he didn’t count on was walking in and seeing you being all smiles with not only Travis Kelce, but with Joe Burrow.
He didn’t want to cause a scene so he just let you do your thing.
“Yo, why aren’t you with Y/N right now?” Urban asks Jack, noticing who his best friend was glaring at.
“She seems pretty busy to me.” He shrugs.
Urban rolls his eyes “You’re an idiot. Remind me how long you two have been together?”
“Three years.”
“Sooo in those three years has she ever given you a reason for you to be making fake scenarios in your head?”
Jack shakes his head. “No”
“So go be with your girl, no one here is allowed phones anyway. So nobody is about to take pictures of you two.”
Just then Jack notices Joe walking away and heading his way to him, shaking his head.
“Jack.”
“Joe, what’s up man?”
“Your girl, she might need saving.”
“My girl?” He asks, feigning confusion.
Joe chuckles. “The moment she walked in, she had all heads turn her way. Travis is a little drunk and being flirty, she had to let us know you two are together.”
“Oh?”
“Obviously he’s not taking no for an answer.”
Jack nods “Thanks man.”
••••••
“I’m not kidding, I can fly you out anywhere you’d like. Just name it and I’ll have you there tonight.”
You chuckle nervously, “No thank you, my man already does that for me.”
Travis nods his head “The man who you claim is Jack Harlow, yeah if I were him I would never leave your side. So I think you're lying.”
“We’re not attached to the hip.” You shrug. “And no offense, but didn’t you just get out of a relationship? So why are you trying so hard right now?”
“The way to get over her is to get under another one?” He says, but it came out as a question. “You can probably be her?”
“No, I’m sorry and if you’d excuse me my boyfriend is here.” You were about to walk away but Travis pulled on your hand to stop you.
“Alright, I’m so-“
You feel arms wrapped around your waist. “Everything ok baby?”
“Y-“
“We’re good, just talking and getting to know each other.” Travis says.
Jack smiles, “I was asking my girl, but thanks for keeping her company.”
“Anytime, matter of fact I can do more than that whenever.”
Jack chuckles, you can feel he’s annoyed. “Let’s go mingle around yeah? Haven’t seen Tyler.” You suggest, placing a hand on his chest to try and walk away.
“Hey I was just keeping her company, taking care of her.” Travis smirks, while sipping on his drink.
You sigh.
Jack smiles, “Excuse us for a bit.” He pulls you away from Travis.
He’s dragging you around the house, bumping into friends but ignoring all of their calls.
He opens a door which happens to be a bathroom and pushes the both of you inside.
“Calm dow-“
His hand is around your throat, as he pushes you against the door. “Why was he all up on you?”
You smirk. “Are you jealous baby?”
“I can’t leave you alone for a bit, always having all these guys trying to feel up on you.” He starts kissing your neck.
“Maybe don’t leave me alone then.” Your hands wrap themselves around the back of his neck.
“So this is my fault?” He whispers on your neck, sucking on your sweet spot.
You humm “If everyone knew we were together, we wouldn’t have these issues.”
He pulls back and smirks. “Oh everyone will know soon enough” with that, he lowers to his knees, He lifts up your dress “No panties, bad girl.” He purrs and gives you a quick lick.
“D-don’t tease.” You moan out, you pull down the top of your dress, freeing your boobs.
“You’re the one who didn’t wear panties” he rasped, looking up at you with icy doe eyes
“Jack- Jack” you squirm trying to get his mouth away from you, but you feel his warm breath against your heat.
“Make sure to be loud, just the way I like it baby.”
“Jackman, we can’t-“ you moaned, not really wanting him to stop.
“Full first name huh?” His jaw was clenched, you could see the annoyance in his face. You knew calling him by his government would only add to his frustration, you’d be lying if you said you weren’t into it.
He was squatting underneath you, his entire head under your dress, and you immediately felt his tongue glide across your folds.
He started off slowly, knowing it would drive you crazy.
“Jack”
“Who?” He smirked against your body, you felt the tip of his nose against your bud.
“Baby, you’re- you’re doing that on purpose” you breathed out.
“I’m not sure what you mean” he chuckled and pushed his face further into you, he knew exactly how to drive you crazy.
“Baby” you moaned.
“Who’s pussy is this?” He rasped, a deep hearty chuckle came from within.
You didn’t answer, making him quicken his pace. “I said- who’s pussy is this?”
“You-yours” your legs started to shake, and he was only getting started, he allowed you to lean them on his shoulders as he continued to eat his meal.
“Think about this moment” he licked a long stride upwards “next time you wanna make me jealous” he sucked on your bud.
“I’m going to cum” you moaned, louder than expected.
“Let it all out pretty girl.” He whispers, his tongue and nose hitting all the right places.
“Ba-baby.” You’re pulling at his hair. “Shit, Jack.” You moan out and cum undone. Panting with your eyes closed.
You feel the door against you push open, so you open your eyes and quickly rush to cover yourself.
You look at the mirror that’s behind Jack on the other side of the wall, and notice it’s Travis walking in.
You face Jack in shock but he stands up smirking. You can see your excess of cum all around his mouth and the tip of his nose. You signal him to clean it off but he shrugs you off.
He wipes it off “My girl is well taken care of. But thanks for worrying about her.” He says licking his fingers and closing the door on Travis’s face.
You’re fixing up your dress in place and your hair. “Are you going to do that every time a guy gets close to me?”
“If they feel entitled to you, and I feel like they’re doing it to push my buttons?” He shrugs. “Yeah, pretty much.”
You shake your head smiling at him. “I love when you get jealous.” You open the bathroom door to walk out.
“I know you do.” He gives your ass a quick slap and follows behind you.

Oops! Wrong Jersey *Joe Burrow*
Tumblr media
Description: Joe gets a little eager while you two are sneaking around after practice. You two try to stay under the radar, but almost get caught by more than one person.
Pairing: joe burrow x female reader
Warnings: a little bit of jealousy Joe, possessive Joe, there is a teeny tiny feature of choking but nothing out the wazoo, alludes to smuuutttt! ;)
A/n: this is totally based off his press conference he had this week of him wearing the wrong jersey. I will be adding Mr. King of the North to my masterlist!
Enjoy everyone!! :))
•••••••••••••••••••
This whole scenario started the moment you entered the practice field. You chose to make some cupcakes for Tee’s birthday and bring them up to the field for him to enjoy after practice. Of course, you made enough for everyone and truthfully that was a lot of cupcakes. Joe had helped you a little bit. He mostly would smear icing on your face and then try to lick it off. Which would then lead to the two of you making out and almost burning the cupcakes.
So when Joe spotted you walking in to one of the meeting rooms with all the cupcakes he couldn’t help but reminisce from last night. Practice had officially ended but he obviously had one thing on his mind. You.
Tee came up to you to give you the biggest hug and thank you for the cupcakes. He immediately dug into them. You were flattered by all the compliments and soon some of the other guys began to get a taste.
“I thought you were going to take these to his party later tonight.” Joe comes up behind you, placing his large hands firmly on your hips. His lips lightly place a kiss on your cheek. He looks at Tee who just rolled his eyes at Joe. It wasn’t uncommon for Joe to remind the boys that you belong to him.
“I was but he wanted me to bring my special dip instead. The one I made for preseason.” You answer him and watch as he reaches for a cupcake.
“Can I help you make it later?” He asks and you see that playful smirk appear on his face. You watch as he takes a bite of the cupcake and his eyes roll into the back of his head. Oh the things that boy did to you.
“Joe Burrow.” Your voice has that tone of warning in it. He continues eating the cupcake until it’s completely gone. You stare at him as he licks each of his fingers clean while only looking at you.
Instead of feeding into his playful antics you simply turn around to say a farewell to everyone. You knew you’d be seeing them in a couple of hours anyways. Joe follows hot on your trail as you began to walk down the hallway.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Joe questions you.
“Home.” You shortly reply.
“Why so soon?” He pouted and he ran to stand in front of you to get you to stop.
“I have a dip to make for one of my favorite Bengal’s player.” You respond with the most smug smirk plastered on your face. It could not resist playing with him. Sometimes he made it too easy for you.
Joe looks around the hallway to see if anyone was watching. He grabs ahold of your sides and practically shoved you through an open door. You take a look around the room before he slams the door shut.
“Is there a reason you just shoved me into the ice room?” You ask.
“Can you please repeat to me the last sentence you said? The one about making the dip.” He refers to that particular sentence that you knew would set him off.
If there was one thing about Joe it’s that he was very possessive. He was cocky in a way that never went too far. He didn’t get the nickname Joe Cool for nothing. However, when he found you and you two decided to date. Sharing was never an option. He especially didn’t like it when you would talk about favorites. Joe was a believer that he was your only favorite.
“You mean the one about making dip for one of my favorite Bengal’s player.” There was a certain innocence in your voice that just drove Joe up a wall.
“Need I remind you that you have only one favorite.” He starts walking towards you and you walked backwards to tease him a little more. That was until your back hit the wall and he traps you against it. A puff of air escaped you when he places his hands back on your hips and pushes you further against the concrete.
“I might need some help remembering.” You tilt your head up to properly look at him now. His nose and lips were still a little red from being outside in the cold weather. His hair was tossed in different directions from the rain and him having the helmet on.
Slowly, Joe takes his right hand up from your hips, to your waist, and through the valley of your breasts. He stops at the base of your neck where his fingertips lightly trace the start of your collarbone. The moment Joe wraps his incredibly large hand around your throat an excitement erupts in your chest. Your heart began to beat rapidly. Joe slides his knee between your legs to spread them apart. He presses his lower half against yours where you felt the hard bulge in his pants.
Your eyes flutter shut at the feeling. A small, barely audible moan slips from your mouth. “Joe.” You whisper his name as he moves only a small amount that still created a little friction you were craving.
He presses his ring finger and thumb directly against those pressure points that made you dizzy with pleasure. His index finger pushes under your jaw to tilt your head up.
“Look at me when you say my name.” Joe commands. Your eyes connect with his in obedience. “Good girl.” He adds.
Joe leans in and ever so softly presses a kiss to your jaw. You felt his hand that was on your hip slide under your shirt to where it touched your already hot skin. He begins to make a trail of kisses down your jaw and then to your neck. His mouth lingers in a spot and he sucks gently. Your sensitive skin was already bruising. He blows cold air over the new spot and you felt your knees buckle.
The moment Joe connects your lips with his it was like you two hadn’t touched each other in decades. Your hands automatically wrap around to the back of his neck to pull him closer if it was possible. He presses his body into yours to where there was no gap between you two now. When his thigh rubbed against your middle another moan escaped you. You push your fingers through his hair and tug slightly earning a small sigh from him.
The hand that was around your neck slides down until he cups your breast and massages. You began to squirm under his touch with only wanting more. He takes his lips away from yours and you pout at the loss of contact. He resumes back to your neck but quickly goes down to your chest.
“This is in my way.” Joe states and tugs on your thin shirt.
“Do something about it then.” You say a little annoyed with him stopping for that.
Joe takes both his hands and grabs the collar of your shirt. He pulls apart the material ripping it down the middle. A loud gasp escapes you at his ruthless actions.
“Joe!” You shout his name as the shredded shirt lands in the floor.
He covers your mouth with his hand to silence you. “Shh! Do you wanna get caught?” He asks.
You pull his hand off your lips to whisper. “No. But Joe I-“
The doorknob rattles and startles you both. Joe instinctively covers you with his body. “Joe are you in there?” You hear Ja’Marr behind the door.
“Yeah man. I’m just trying to ice.” Joe replies and he was looking at you. His hand found its way back over your mouth.
“Why is the door locked?” He asks him.
“I Uh don’t have any pants on. Didn’t want someone walking in on me.” He thinks of the best excuse he could.
“Well put your pants back on. You have a press conference.” Joe’s head just drops in defeat.
“Okay I’ll be right there.” Joe says. You both wait for about a minute and Joe puts his hand down.
“I don’t have another shirt!” You whisper shout at him. He looks around for something that you could wear. He luckily still had his practice jersey on so he pulls it over his head to hand it to you.
“Here.” He hands you his jersey and you take it from him sliding it on your body. It swallowed you whole but it at least covered you up. “We’ll finish this later.” He winks at you and opens the door letting you walk out first.
“I knew it.” Ja’Marr was standing next to the wall and he has the biggest smirk on his face. When he sees what you have on and the material in Joe’s hand his face turns up in disgust. “You two are disgusting.”
You and Joe both laugh at being caught. “I’ll meet you at home. Hurry up.” You tell Joe and he has a cute smile on his face. He leans down to plant a kiss on your lips lingering a little longer.
After that he runs back to the locker room to find his other jersey. He puts on the first one he sees near his locker and runs back out to where the conference was being held. Joe sat down and took in a deep breath from all the running.
“Did you change your number Joe?” One of the interviewers ask. Joe was confused and looks down at the jersey to see he did in fact pick up the wrong number.
This boyish grin lands on his face and he lets out a laugh. “Well I guess i put the wrong one on.” He responds.
A few of the guys were standing off to the side where only Joe could see them. Ja’Marr leans in to whisper something to them and they erupt into fits of laughter. Joe was smiling still with red cheeks from what really happened. Now all he could picture was you in his jersey.
Ja’Marr points to his head and Joe was not understanding at first. Until he realized how you always will tug at his hair. He had sex hair as some would call it.
Joe clears his throat and runs his fingers through his hair. He continues to get questions asked and he truly did try to pay attention. You were all he could think about and it only made him more antsy. He knew that he was going to show you who your only favorite truly was when he got home.
His phone buzzes in the chair in between his legs. No one else could see what he was looking at but him. He briefly looks down and sees your contact name with an image attached.
‘I’m waiting for you…’ he looks up casually answering a question and then looks back to see a glimpse of the picture. A picture of you in that jersey and there was nothing on underneath it.
Joe swallows thickly at the sight of you. His leg begins to bounce in anticipation. Needless to say he did not pay attention for the rest of the press conference.

Red Carpet MVP -Joe burrow
Summary: Joes up more an MVP! most valuable partner according to magazines, and every news instagram on the planet
notes: EEE this is so exciting!! i love your energy thank you for requesting:) i also made up everyone’s dates names so
i have bunches of requests i apologize if this is rushed
all my y/n characters are going to be og bengals fans bc i am biased
the dress she wears on carpet: (ik its prom dressy just bare with me)
Tumblr media
the suit he wears: (the shirt is cut all the way to the bully button and he has no tie, going scandalous lol)
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Hours and hours of searching for an outfit to be the plus one on the red carpet is tiring. y/n was stressing out more than she had ever stressed out before. she wanted to impress joe, but more importantly impress all the eyes that would be on her and joe all night. the two had been dating for awhile but just now gone public, so the media is all over them like travis kelce and taylor swift.
she didn’t want to be too simple, because she was dating with THE fashion nova, joe burrow. but she also didn’t want to be too over the top, or overpower the spotlight that is one hundred percent made for her MVP.
Joe had asked her to pick a purple dress, feeling the mood to rock an all purple suit on the carpet, to which she happily obliged. and after hours of deciding she finally chose her dress.
it was light purple with ripples all to the bottom, she felt as if she was going to prom again, doing a spin in her dress as she watched the mirror she smiled. she couldn’t be happier than in this moment.
not even minutes later, joe knocks on the door and lets himself in. “are you ready ba-“ he stops in the middle of the door way, his under shirt was cut low, and the suit curved his body in a perfect way. his hair was longer, shaggy, and pushed to the side. he looked to y/n in shock
“you are the most stunning woman on the planet” he says, grabbing her hips and pulling her closer. “thank you mr. sheisty” she says with a smile
he laughs, taking her hand and gesturing a quick spin. “i love you” he says, dipping her and kissing her lips. “i love you too” she states, standing up and walking out of the door.
the limo ride there was quiet, mostly joe calming y/ns nerves and y/n freaking out even more. once they arrived to the venue, joe stepped out of the vehicle, holding the door open and putting out his hand, allowing his beautiful girlfriend to get out of the car, he linked arms with her after shutting the door and they made their way down the carpet
many football players, old and new, were already sitting around the carpet chatting, intervening, mingling. y/n observed the scenarios in-front of her and took a deep breath. “Joe joe! who is this? she’s gorgeous!” joe smiled, pulling her closer. answering their questions simply “my girlfriend” and continuing to walk through the carpet
interview after interview she was asked more questions than joe, but he didn’t mind. he knew how much getting in the spotlight would help towards her anxiety, and he didn’t enjoy spotlight much so it was a win win.
joe had met up with ja’marr, and some of the other boys, and y/n stood with their dates. “hi y/n!” ja’marrs girl said, a large smile on her face. her name was ruby and she and y/n were very close considering how much time joe and ja’marr spent with eachother. “hi rubes!” she smiled, pulling her into a hug. paparazzi stood around taking pictures of them
even as joe mingled with other teammates, and y/n mingled with their girls, joes hand never left y/n in some way. wether it was around her waist or holding her hand or even on her shoulder. paparazzi was loving it, taking pictures of his hand every place he put it. he opened doors for her, he held her close, he kissed her head even when she wasnt looking at him.
“i love you” he’d whisper, as soon as each of his friends began to talk to others and they were both free for even just a moment.
so many football players who she grew up watching were on this red carpet, and when joe left his friends to mingle with more people that’s when the anxiety started. “oh my goodness!” she squealed, her feet stomping on the ground excitedly. joe smiled at his girl, following her line of sight and meeting with her all time favorite football player
Aj green
“he retired? he’s here? why’s he here, joe i’m gonna freak out”
joe smiled, every time he had mentioned already meeting aj green y/n would freak out and have her tell him every detail. so when he heard aj would be at the red carpet, he just had to surprise his favorite girl.
“Aj!” joe called, y/n ran behind him, her stomach churning. “i hate you i hate you i hate you” she whispered only making joe laugh more. “hey!” aj said, walking up to them. “this is
y/n, my girlfriend” he smiled, stepping aside so y/n was in front of them. “hi…” y/n said, biting her tounge to keep herself from fan girling out.
joe introduced the two together more, and y/n was a giggling giddy mess.
paparazzi was eating them up, the cameras staying on them the whole night.
on instagram the world was freaking out. from loving their outfits, to screaming about how gentlemanly joe is, to freaking out about the way he looks at her. the world loved it.
after the party and the carpet, joe and y/n sat in their living room, scrolling through posts and comments laughing and smiling. “i love this” y/n smiled. “they love you” joe said, motioning her chin to face him. “but i love you more” he whispered, pulling her in to kiss her.
he was really the most valuable partner

Can u pls write for Joe Burrow "kiss me, kiss me again" and “tell me to stop, tell me or i won’t be able to.” “then don’t.” from prompt list 2
Also I'm so obsessed w ur writing, it's addictive ❤️
Ok bc the scenario I wanted, I did have to split up the 1st prompt ):
———————————————————————————-
“Kiss me.” You whispered as Joe pulled away from your hug, “there’s some man that keeps staring at us. I told him my boyfriend would kick his ass.” You muttered into his ear.
“But you don’t have a boyfriend Y/N-,” Joe started, but was cut off by you pressing your lips to his.
“Now, I need you to kiss me again, like you actually mean it.”
Joe pressed his lips to yours passionately, then moving in sync as you two stood by the bar at the rooftop bar. Joe pulled away, him needing air before leaning his forehead against yours, “Tell me to stop.” He whispered, his eyes darting between yours and your mouth, “Tell me or I won’t be able to Y/N.”
You gave him a sly smile, “Then don’t.”

Pressure - Joe Burrow
Joe burrow x reader
Summary: I hate writing these, so read and find out. Or if any one cares to write a short on for me thats fine.
Word count: IDK, feeling lazy today.
A/n: Thinking about turning this into a series, but idk.
Tumblr media
"He still hasn't called?" Hannah, your best friend asked over the phone as you plopped down on the couch.
"Nope." You said popping the p. It'd been 5 days sine you broke the news to Joe. You were worried about how he'd take it and you'd run many scenarios through your head.
Hannah was silent as you both thought about the news, "What if he hates me and never wants to see me again?" You whispered, almost to scared to voice the thought that had been in your head ever since you broken the news to him.
Hannah sighed, she'd been your best friend since 2nd grade and gone through everything with you. "He's not going to hate you, he can't."
"How do you know?" You asked, your voice wobbly and tears forming in your eyes.
"I've seen the way he looks at you, it's clear to everyone that he loves you. You're his entire world." Her words did little to soothe you, but you'd take the tiniest bit of comfort you could get.
"I wish you were here." You spoke, hating that she was currently in California for a work conference.
"I'll be home in 3 days and then we can drown our sorrows in ice cream and alcoho-" She paused, "not alcohol, just ice cream."
You laughed, through the tears that were currently streaming down your face. You swore the hormones were already getting to you, despite only being 4 weeks pregnant.
"It's not like you planned for this to happen, joe has to know that. Plus you thought you couldn't have kids" Hannah was right, you'd always thought you could never have kids.
When you were 21 the doctors told you, you'd most likely never be able to have kids and since then you'd been telling yourself that you were fine without kids, but now that you were pregnant you couldn't lie to yourself anymore. "Like you just got promoted at your office and you've always told-"
Knock, Knock, Knock
You cut her off, "Hold on, someones at my door. I'll call you back." You quickly hung up, wiping the tears from your eyes before getting of the couch.
You looked through peephole, to find Joe standing outside your door. You froze, not sure if you wanted to see him. It'd been 5 days and he'd been MIA not even bothering to send you a simple message.
"Y/N, I know you're in there. Please answer the door." He begged, after knocking a few more times while you stood at the door frozen.
You placed your hand on the nob and slowly opened the door. His heart broke at seeing your tear stained face. He knew he was the reason you had probably been crying.
He entered your apartment. He'd been here a thousand times, but none ever felt like this. "I'm sorry, for not answering."
"It's fine." You lied, not wanting to admit how much he'd hurt you. "Would you like something to drink?"
"No, thanks. I was hoping we could talk." He sat down on your couch, while you stayed standing.
"Ok..."
"Listen, I've been thinking about this and I'm here to support you in whatever you decide." He paused, "if you want to keep the baby I'll help and if you want an abor-"
"I wanna keep the baby." You blurted out.
"Are you sure?" Joe asked, standing up to be closer to you.
"Yea," You whispered taking a step away from him.
He sighed, getting the hint. "Have you really spent time thinking about this?" He started pacing your living room.
"I've thought about it and I want to keep it." You could tell he clearly wasn't happy with your decision. You'd never told Joe that your doctors told you that your chances of ever getting pregnant were slim to none.
It'd never came up and you didn't really care to talk about it. "Listen, lets just think about this." Joe said, coming to a stop in front of you. "I'm just starting my career as a qb and you just got promoted at work. Think about how this is going to affect us. How are we going to raise a baby if you're working all the time and I'm traveling for almost half of the year."
You blinked, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill. "Joe, if you don't want to be a part of this thats fine but get out of my house." You seethed angrily, as tears started to fall.
You walked over to the door, opening it for him to leave. What happened to 'I'll be here to support you'? He'd just said those words a few minutes ago and it seems he's already forgotten them.
"Babe," He said, trying to defuse the situation.
"Joe, either get on board to have this baby or get out." The tears had stopped and now the only thing you could feel was anger. Despite the anger you were feeling, you secretly hoped that he'd get on board to have the baby, but when Joe walked out of the door with his head down and shoulders deflated your heart broke.

Series Masterlist
Tumblr media
Joe follows Nicole to the bedroom, where she picks out one of the outfits laid on the bed.
"Nicole!" Joe shouts, slamming the door behind him.
"You really think I have enough time to follow you and you're side bitch around."
"Don't call her that. You're out of line."
"Oh, but that is what she is. A side bitch. A side hoe."
"You are so delusional, Nicki. I broke up with you. This pretend play you have me doing isn't real. She is my girlfriend. You're nothing."
"I'm the mother of your child."
"And I barely believe that," Joe whispers. Nicole drops her heels on the floor, stunned by his words.
"You are an asshole. You are such a piece of shit. You think I would pretend to have your child."
"Nicole, you're acting crazy. Forcing me to be with you. Threatening Cheeks, so yeah, I think you are capable of pretending to be pregnant."
Nicole storms to the bathroom and slams the door behind her. Joe stands outside, listening to her use the toilet. When she emerges from the bathroom, she shoves a positive pregnancy test into his hands.
"Nicki, what are we doing? Do you really think we can raise a child together?"
"It doesn't matter because I'm taking you to court for everything you have."
Joe throws the stick into the trash rolling his eyes. Nicole was so hellbent on ruining his life that she couldn't see how ridiculous she looked. Nicole left the house, leaving Joe to his thoughts. He tried waiting for your call all day, but by 4 pm, he was blowing your phone up.
"Joe, you have to stop."
"I had to make sure you were okay."
"I'm okay. I'm at work now. I'll call you tomorrow." You whisper, hanging up. Mya gives you a smirk as you go into the emergency meeting that had been called earlier today. You sit in the back, listening to the medical director call attention to the meeting.
"I will let Dr.Brian take it from here," Max says, stepping aside.
"As you guys know, my mother is very sick. With that being said, I'm stepping down on a leave of absence to go back home and care for her. I've gone back and forth about who should be the interim chair of the emergency department. I sat down and ran through many scenarios, and ultimately, the board and I agreed. I've trained this girl since she was in college. It is my honor to have her temporarily sit in my chair while I'm gone."
You completely zone out hearing your name. You look around the room at the smiling faces and people applauding you, but you can't move.
"Come up here and accept your title."
You stand up, making your way to the front, smiling nervously. Dr.Brian hugs you, and you nod, agreeing to the position. It's only six months, so you can do it. After 15 minutes of accepting compliments, you go to the break room to let it all sink in.
"That's cool. I mean, you just became a full fledge doctor and already a chair member. What did you do to earn that?" Mya asks, leaning on the lockers. You put your phone down and stare at her.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Do you honestly think people aren't talking already? You're the youngest member by far."
"I've been working hard. Dr.Brian has known me since I did an internship with him during my freshman year and every year after. I graduated early. I completed med school and my residency early. I also passed the board with flying colors. My work ethic speaks for itself."
"I'm just telling you what people are thinking. You fucked him, and that's how you got that spot."
"Mya, What is your issue? Why would I do something like that? He's a married man."
"Lol, says the girlie fucking Joe Burrow."
"Mya?"
"Sorry, okay. I'm frustrated. Mike thought that position was going to be his. He talked all last night about it."
"Oh gosh. Mike-"
"Things were finally going better for us. With this job, I thought he could-"
"He's an asshole, My. He doesn't even claim you when we all hang out."
"Because we are not allowed to date in the same department. Look, all I'm saying is that people will talk about this. You're young and hot-"
"And a female. So, of course, everyone would assume I slept my way to get here." You slap the locker close and grab your bag off the bench, leaving Mya alone. You first visit your parent's house to share the news.
"Omg! My sweet baby! This is amazing. I cannot wait to tell the ladies down at church!" Your mother holds you tight, rocking you side to side; your father claps to the side. It doesn't take long for your mother to share the news with Robin.
"We have to organize a dinner to congratulate you. We will invite family and close friends. We have to celebrate this huge achievement!" Your mother is rushing to her computer room before you can complain. Your father wears a proud smile, pulling you into a hug.
"My baby girl. I am so proud of you. I know you don't want to be celebrated, but let your mother have this." Your dad laughs. You nod your head. You share the news with Quinn and Fran, who are both over the moon for you. Quinn also wants to plan a party, but you direct her to your mother. And finally, you decide to let Joe in on your news.
"Baby, that's amazing. I am so proud of you. We should celebrate."
"Right now, I just want to lay in bed and let it soak in." You laugh, leaning on the wall and staring at your parents in the dining room.
"Hmm. Can I join you?"
"Joey, we shouldn't be seen with each other. Not until-"
"I know, but it's killing me. I'll come late in the night."
"Okay." You whisper. And late in the night, Joe is holding you in his arms, whispering how much he loves you. You kiss his lips while playing with his ears, giggling at each word.
"You are everything I have ever wanted. I promise things will get better for us. Nicole means nothing to me."
"She's having your baby, Joe. We can't ignore this matter."
"I know. And I will be a great father to my child. I am more than capable of co-parenting."
You close your eyes as he kisses your forehead. You want to believe him and every sweet word he tells you, but there is something in your gut telling you to let Joe go. But you don't. You can't let him go, and neither can he. The next few days consist of you coming home to Joe and living your perfect domestic life. He sits on the counter watching you cook in nothing but his jersey.
"Let's move in together."
"Joseph."
"I've been looking at places; plus, it's a gated community, and you won't have to worry about this stalker," Joe says, eating some popcorn.
"How would that look in the tabs? Superstar Joe leaves his pregnant girlfriend to live with his mistress. That sounds like an amazing headline, babe." You turn around, crossing your arms. Joe pouts, and you walk over, taking place between his legs. Joe bends down and kisses your nose, then your lips.
"I just want you safe. If this is Nicole on her bullshit, I don't know what she will do."
"I'm okay. I want you to focus on this season and getting that ring."
Joe smirks and slowly lifts your jersey.
"You know when I get my ring; you'll have to marry me. You promised, remember."
"That was 6th grade."
"And I remember that promise. You said once I win the Superbowl, you become my wife. I plan to do exactly that." He kisses your lips and caresses your ass. You moan into the kiss, which only excites Joe, who hops down from the counter, scooping you up.
"Joe. I'm cooking. Calm it down." You laugh while he throws you over his shoulder. You guys had just finished a steamy shower session not too long ago, and the boy was ready for me. You slap his back until he puts you down. After dinner, Joe tells you he has to get going. He promises to call you before bed.
The next few weeks are pretty busy for both of you. You are starting your direct training to take over as chair, and Joe is training during the offseason. Mya has apologized for her comments, but her behavior still offended you. Mike, her boyfriend but not her actual boyfriend, has been giving you absolute hell. The comments other nurses and doctors make don't go unnoticed. You try your best to ignore them. Today, the news station is coming to interview the hospital about its recent clinic opening. Dr. Brian lets you sit in your first assignment as the chair. You're super nervous as the makeup team works. You stare at your notes when the door opens to Nicole. It feels like the air leaves the room as she takes her place in a chair across the room. This will be your first interaction with her since finding out about you and Joe.
"Can you give the interviewee and me some time alone? I want to get a feel of her before we get rolling." Nicole smiles and laughs as the makeup team and her assistant leaves. she gets up from the chair and stands behind you. Her green eyes stare into the mirror at yours. She touches your hair and smiles.
"I have no idea what he sees in you. You are not prettier than me." Nicole clicks her tongue. You've dealt with plenty of Joe's groupies before, so her words don't sting.
"Congrats on the baby." You whisper.
"Of course, he told you. And you still want to see him."
"Having a baby with him isn't going to make him stay. You do know that, don't you?"
"Oh, miss little know it all. I know that, but I will not let Joe have his happy ending. If you think I will let you two run off happily in the sunset, you have another thing coming. Keep seeing Joe, and just like I told him, I have no problem ruing yours or his career. So soak in that little promotion of yours because it will be your last, bitch."
You take a deep breath and stand up. Nicole stands slightly taller than you because of her heels, but you stare her down.
"Nicole, I'm not afraid of you. If you think you're the first girl to threaten me because of Joe, you have no idea what you're up against. At the end of the day, Joe will never ever love you. Once you get that through your thick ass skull, I promise you will be able to let go. Now, sit your ass back in your chair and get ready to put on your interviewing skills to work, Miss Cinncinati." You brush her shoulders off and walk to open the door but pause.
"By the way, you're lucky you're pregnant because if you ever called me out of my name outside your nine-month window, I'd punch you in the fucking mouth. We're ready!" You say, swinging the door open. The crew comes back to finish up. You show Nicole around the new clinic and discuss what to expect when it opens soon.
"There you have it, folks! The new clinic is set to open in the fall of this year. Thank you for showing us around." Nicole smiles at you as the director counts down. You wear a smile as well and turn just as cut is yelled. Both of you stop smiling. Nicole storms off to her trailer, slamming her door. You giggle and walk over to your new assistant, Liv.
"What is her issue?"
"Not sure. Since we are done here, let's grab some lunch on me!" You tell her. You guys have lunch at your favorite diner, where you order your usual meal: pancakes and eggs. Liv orders a burger with onions. As you take a first bite, you get a whiff of her onion burger and gag.
"Do you not like onions? Omg, I should have asked. Is it making you sick?"
You shake your head but gag again. You shoot up from your seat and run to the bathroom. With your head in the toilet, Liv finds you to help.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. I just-I don't know. The smell hit me, and my stomach turned. YOu finish up and take the rest of the day off. I will go get myself together. Probably just a stomach bug." You say, giving her a thumbs up. But it's not just a stomach bug. You sit on the tub in your bathroom with the three positive pregnancy tests. You immediately call your gyn.
"I have the IUD, so it can't be-"
"It happens. I have a spot open at 4. Come in. If you are, we need to remove it if you want to continue with the pregnancy."
Everything blurs together as your doctor explains how far along you are and what the next steps are. You have the IUD removed and sent home to think further about your next moves. As you sit on the couch going over your possibilities, Joe calls you.
"Do you know how good you looked on the news today?"
"Thanks."
"What's wrong?" Joe asks, quickly picking up on your tone.
"Nothing. This dinner party my mom is throwing for me is coming up this weekend, and I had my first shift as the chair, so it's a lot to take in now."
"That's this weekend, damn. I have this football camp-"
"Joe, you don't have to come. I know how busy you are, and it's okay. Do your parents know about you and Nicole?"
"Uhh no, why?"
"I really don't want you to come if you have to bring her."
"I won't bring her."
"Quinn is calling me. I have to go." You switch over the line.
"Pregnant! With Joseph's baby? I'm going to be an auntie!"
"Quinn, I can't have this baby. Joe is already having a baby with Nicole."
"Do you actually believe she's pregnant? She's insane. How far are you?"
"Two months."
"Let me add Fran to the call he's calling me."
"Quinn, wait!"
Too late. You give Fran a soft smile as Quinn shares the news. Fran congratulates you and the twins; start planning your baby shower already. You decide against taking off work and go in only to be greeted with snide remarks.
"Mike, I'm really not in the mood for your nonsense. Get to work, or I will take you off shift. I'm so so serious too." You say, crossing your arms. He mumbles under his breath and walks away. Mya gives you a half smile and hands you your favorite chocolate.
"I'm sorry about before. I'm missing my best friend."
You take the chocolate giving in to her apology. Mya hugs you and tells you juicy nurse gossip from the 7th floor. She invites you out for drinks, but you decline.
"Come on! It will be fun."
"I'm pregnant, so I would just be a buzz kill."
Mya covers her mouth, trying to contain her excitement.
"Wait with J O E's baby?"
"You do know anyone in this room can spell." You whisper, pulling her out of the locker room. Mya spends the next 30 mins grilling you about it. You finally send her off to help a resident while you attend to some patients.
"Mr. Brown, again, this is the 3rd time you've ended up in my ER in the last two months. What's going on?" You ask, reading his chart. He shrugs and smiles.
"I just like seeing your beautiful face." He beams up at you with a big smile.
"As much as I appreciate your kindness, I can't have you hurting yourself."
"This time, it wasn't me." His voice drips with sorrow. Mr. Brown starts picking at his blanket. You put your gloves on and check the wound on his head. It's a nasty gash from the middle of his forehead to his right temple. You reach down and hold his hand.
"Talk to me. What's going on?"
"They stole my tent this time. They jumped me and stole everything. My wife's photos, all of it gone."
"Who?"
Mr.Brown looks away from you.
"Mr.Brown, I can't help you if you don't talk to me."
"These young kids. Boys. They've been terrorizing a lot of us in the community."
"Have you spoken with an officer, maybe-"
Mr. Brown shakes his head.
"They don't care about us. There is no point."
"You'll need stitches, and I'll see about your belongings."
Mr. Brown grabs your wrist before you can leave.
"I don't want to cause you any trouble. What happens outside the hospital is my concern."
"Mr. Brown, how long have I been treating you?" You ask, taking your gloves off and standing up.
"3 years, give or take." He wears a puzzled look in his response.
"Right. You are my patient whether you are in this hospital or outside. Sit tight while I have someone stitch you up." You give him a warm smile, and he holds your hand, thanking you. You grab Mya telling her you're going for a walk.
"Oh gosh! Listen, I'm all for helping the homeless, but Tent city is a ruthless land. We should at least have a guy come with us. You're pregnant now. You can't be irresponsible." Mya grabs your arm, stopping you.
"If you're scared, I'll go in alone. A lot of them know and trust me. I'll be okay. If I'm not back in 15 mins, then worry, but no cops."
"Are you-"
"15," You say, walking across the field with coffee, breakfast sandwiches, and donuts. You stop a few times to hand it out and ask around about the boys terrorizing the place. But it doesn't take long to find the rowdy boys yelling and running around. You take a seat next to the kid who is staring at the older three play around.
"Sandwich?" You offer him. The kid doesn't speak and keeps his eyes focused on the others. You look over his appearance and notice his ankle.
"How long have you had that injury? Can you take your shoe off?" You ask him. The boy continues to ignore you. Finally, the older two boys notice you.
"Get the fuck away from him!" One shouts, running over. You quickly stand and hold up your hands.
"I was just offering him some breakfast."
"And who the fuck are you, lady?"
"I'm a doctor at the hospital a few blocks from here. I come here once a week to hand out food."
"She lying. We've been here for two whole months!" The other speaks up.
"Sorry. I've had a busy schedule, so I haven't had time to come down as often." You answer while your eyes drift to the youngest kid standing up now, limping.
"You're mad pretty for a doctor."
You smile and thank him, finally introducing yourself and asking for their names.
"I'm Tate, and that's Trey and TJ. Triple Ts." Tate says, laughing. You give him a smile and nod your head.
"Are you guys siblings?"
"Nope, but blood wouldn't make us any thicker," Trey responds.
"Stop telling her so much, dummy." Tate smacks Trey upside the head. You notice TJ wince. You want to ask them where their parents are, but you must tread lightly.
"I want to take a look at TJ's ankle. If that's okay?"
"He's fine. He just needs to sleep it off. It's not like we have money to pay you, lady."
"No need to pay. It's my job to help and treat. Can I look at your ankle?" You ask TJ. He looks at the older two boys and back at you, slowly nodding his head. You have him sit down and slowly try to take off the shoe. He cries out, and you stop.
"I need to bring him in."
"No way. Hell no. You just want to send us back! Did that old hag send you for us? We're not going back!" Tate grabs TJ pulling him to his feet. Trey pulls a knife out. You slowly stand with your hands up.
"I don't know who you're talking about, but I promise you I just want to get a better look at TJ's ankle. Please. If he doesn't get treated, it could turn into an infection." You try your best to reason with the boys, but they still stand guard.
"Treat him right here," Trey says. You shake your head.
"I can't take that shoe off here. I need to cut it off. His ankle is so swollen that it's stuck. I also need to examine the foot on a machine so-"
Trey hands you the knife.
"Do it here." He emphasizes. You take a deep breath and give TJ one last pleading look. The boy cannot be a older than 12 years old. Your heart breaks for the three of them. You take the knife from Trey and attempt to cut the sneaker. TJ cries out, and you look at Tate.
"You promise you'll help him, and you won't report us?"
"Tate, how old are you?"
"I'm 18. Why?"
"That will work. Pick him up and follow me." You instruct them. The boys follow you to the hospital with Mya right behind you. Inside you quickly go to work with Trey asking you all types of questions. You answer them as you work, laughing at some.
"I want to be a doctor too, but that old hag said I was too much of a dummy."
"You're not dumb, Trey. I'm sure you will be an excellent doctor. TJ, get some rest while we wait for tests."
"I'm hungry," TJ speaks up for the first time, and you nod, telling the boys you will bring them something to eat. Tate follows you outside the room.
"Give it to me straight. How are we paying for all of this?"
"A grant, but you need to tell me where Mr.Brown's tent and belongings are. I can't help you if you're going to terrify people. It's unacceptable." You say sternly, crossing your arms. Tate sighs and rolls his eyes.
"Return it." You walk off with Mya following behind you, but before she can speak, Mike is there.
"Grant? You have no authority to the grant, especially not for those homeless little punks."
"Actually, I do have authorization as the chair. It's already been approved. Why don't you make yourself useful and clear my ED of patients who are finished with their treatment? I need beds, not your mouth."
"Fucking bitch." Mike whispers under his breath. Mya shakes her head.
"You're too hard on him. He is taking this whole thing hard."
"My promotion? He needs to get over it. I won't continue to deal with his disrespect." You walk away, unable to deal with Mya and Mike. You order some food for the boys and watch them eat and talk. The boys tell you they ran away from their foster home and have no plans to return. Tate turned 18 in January and was left to wander the world alone, so he did the only thing he knew, take his found brothers with him. You find it weird the boys haven't been reported missing, but if the foster parent is still collecting checks, why would she report them missing? You excuse yourself to make some phone calls.
"I can't just snap my fingers and pick up their case. Plus, what the older one did is illegal."
"Corey. I wouldn't be asking this of you if it wasn't important."
"I know. I know someone in that jurisdiction who might be able to get a hand in on their case and check the foster situation."
"But?"
"I am not helping you for free."
"I can pay-"
"No money. Do you still talk to Joe?"
You sigh and bite your lip. Calling your friend from high school was a bad idea.
"Sometimes."
"Get me season tickets, and you have yourself a deal." Corey cheers. You tell him to stand by while you dial Joe's number.
"Hey, baby, what's up?" He smiles, stopping his workout to give you his full attention.
"Can you give my season tickets to Corey?"
"Who is that? and why?"
"Corey Smith from honors calculus 11th grade."
"What the fuck? That's so random. Fuck that guy. No."
"Joseph, please. For me." You soften your voice, adding a pout even though he couldn't see you. But Joe could picture your face, so it didn't matter.
"Fuck. Don't use that voice. I hate that fucking guy."
"What? You were good friends in high school."
"He wanted to fuck you. I mean, who didn't? You were hot as fuck. Still are. Fuck that guy, no."
"Why are you even mad? So what he wanted to sleep with me. The only one fucking me was and still is you." You reply, making Joe smile.
"Yeah. Fine, anything for my baby. But I want something in return."
"Like?"
"Sit on my face later."
"Goodbye, Joseph, I'm at work." You hang up laughing, returning to your other line.
"It's done! You have season tickets."
"Fuck yeah! Consider the boys moved to a new caseworker and home!" Corey says cheerfully. You leave the room to share the news. TJ looks down at his new blue cast. Tate hands you a box. It belongs to Mr.Brown. You fill them in on the situation, letting them know they have to return to the foster home first. Tate is on edge at first, but you are able to get him to calm down and trust you.
"I should get a job first, but I'm not sure how to apply," Tate says, scratching his head. You smile.
"I'm glad you said that. How do you feel about being a janitor?"
"I'll do anything as long as I can work and find a place that way; maybe I can be a better example and help TJ and Trey out."
You help Tate fill out an application, and Tate returns the box to Mr.Brown, apologizing. Mr. Brown says he will look out for the boy from now on. Liv walks over, pulling you away.
"You have that meeting with Lance. It's pretty important. The board needs you to secure his donation."
"Great. I know exactly what we will do with that donation."
The day ticks down, and you almost fall face-first onto the bed when you get home. You're exhausted and very much nauseous. You force yourself to get up and shower because you know Joe will be coming over soon. Fresh out of the shower, your phone rings, letting you know Joe is either here or on his way. You wrap a towel around you and go to open the door. He gives you a cheeky grin following you inside.
"Find something to watch while I get dressed." You try to walk away, but Joe pulls you back, and you share a sweet, intimate kiss.
"Missed you all day." Joe pulls you down on his lap, and you bury your face in his neck. You lose track of time as you tell him about today. Joe makes a comment about beating Mike's ass, and you giggle. Joe has always been overprotective of you. You get off his lap and fall back on the couch.
"I'm just exhausted. My stomach is hurting. I want to sleep all day, but I have this stupid dinner my mom is throwing for my promotion. I just want to sleep on my off days!" You cry, throwing your arm over your face. Joe licks his lips, barely paying attention to your words. That's when you notice the new position. Your left leg dangles off the couch while your right sits on Joe's thigh, giving him complete access to your pussy. You try to pull the towel down, but Joe is quicker. The man is practically drooling, looking at the divine meal before him.
"Joseph, did you hear me say I'm tired?" You sit up on your elbows, warning him, but Joe is passed, paying attention to you.
"Cheeks, you don't have to do any work. Allow me to help you relieve the stress and tiredness." Joe drops down to his knees, kissing your thighs, teasing you. He places soft kisses on your cunt before spreading the lips and diving straight into his main course. Joe flattens his tongue against your clit before swirling his tongue around it. You shake and whine, trying to contain yourself.
"Not on the couch! Please!" You cry out. All in one swift motion, Joe is standing and holding you up. You quickly grab hold of his hair, unsure about this new position.
"I'll fall!" You cry, resting your legs on his shoulders. Joe mumbles something along the lines of I got you into your wet pussy. You hold on for life as he walks towards the bedroom using your direction. At one point, Joe stops and continues to eat you out in the hallway against the wall. His loud slurps can be heard echoing through the empty hallway. Joe finally takes you into the bedroom and places you on the bed. You can't believe he walked you to your bedroom without stopping his devouring of you. Joe removes his shirt and shorts and lays down, motioning you to sit on his face.
"Joe,"
"Feed me, baby." He pouts. You crawl up and hover over his face, holding the headboard for support. A smirk dances across his face, sending shivers down your spine. He asks you to keep your eyes on him, and you almost buckle immediately, staring down into those blue orbs. Joe pulls you down before you're fully ready, and you arch your back choking back a moan.
"Joe, oh gosh." You cry out, trying to lift up. Joe's voice sends vibrations through your body. It feels like electricity pulsing through you as he takes you to another plane. You try your best to maintain eye contact, but once Joe begins dipping his tongue into you, your walls break. You tug at his hair earning a delicious sound from Joe, which sends you into another orbit. Struggling to hold back anymore, you try to wiggle up. But Joe has a bruising grip on your thighs as he continues to tongue fuck you. And you finally break, soaking Joe's face. Joe doesn't stop and decides to drink every drop and push another orgasm out of your overstimulated pussy. You almost collapse, but Joe holds your waist and chuckles under you. You feel weak and light-headed. Joe turns you around so that you are on your back. He returns between your legs, giving your messy, wet pussy soft kisses. He continues making out with it for the next few mins until you sit up dizzy. Joe is completely enthralled by your whimpers and doesn't stop. He is pussy drunk, and when your eyes connect again, he winks at you. You fall back on the pillow, trying to catch your breath. Joe sits, and you stare at his glistening wet face.
"If I ever went to prison, I would want that to be my last meal." He says, lying down next to you. You toss a pillow at him, laughing. Joe pulls you into his arms, and you stare at him. You should tell him here and now and get it over with. But you can't. It feels like something is stuck in your throat.
"Cheeks? What are you thinking about?"
"Tired. Shower and then sleep." You mumble. Joe scoops you up and follows your order. The next day is spent sleeping in his arms, watching old Spongebob episodes, and enjoying time together. Joe leaves around 2 for a football camp he is helping with. When you check the mail, there is an envelope. You decide to put it on your nightstand and deal with it later. You have no doubt it's Nicole, especially after her threats. The rest of the day is spent looking at Facebook, and you come across the high school reunion page. You go to add the IG page, but you must be off private for verification, so you take it off private and send a request. And then, before you know it, it is dinner time. You greet your parents, the Burrows, and some friends as they say congrats. Fran squeezes you, and Quinn follows for a twin sandwich. You are surprised to see Joe there, but happy Nicole isn't on his arm. Joe takes your hand and leans in to kiss you, but you stop him.
"Everyone is here."
"Right. Sorry. I bought you flowers." Joe hands you the roses, and you take them, trying to hide your smile. You sit next to Joe at the table in the backyard, where everyone is seated. Your dad stands up, making a speech, and you get embarrassed as he talks about your childhood. Then your mom. Then Quinn and finally Fran.
"How am I supposed to follow up that speech? I'm proud of her, like everyone else in this backyard. She is going to do even more beautiful things. We love you! So lets us drink to this absolute babe. I mean, she can't drink, but I'll drink for her."
You freeze up and look at Quinn, praying no one caught that, but nothing gets by your mother.
"Why can't she drink?" She asks. Everyone looks at Fran.
"What? I didn't say that. I did say that. I mean, she gets insane when she drinks, you know? Alcoholics, am I right?" Fran nervously laughs. Quinn pulls him down.
"What is he talking about?" Your grandmother speaks up this time. You look for help, and Fran shoots up again.
"Look, she, umm, She is not an alcoholic."
"So what is the issue?" Your father is glaring at you.
"I'm pregnant."
The table falls silent.
"Surprise?" Quinn says.
"With whose child? You don't have a boyfriend." Your mother is standing up, completely shocked.
"Mine. It's mine." Fran stands up again, burying you deeper into this pit. You can feel Joe staring into the side of your face.
"we're dating, so there. I'm sorry I told everyone like this, honey," Fran smiles at you. You nod your head and stand up, excusing yourself. Dinner ends on a sour note. You sit in the living room, listening to your mom go on and on about how pre-marital sex is wrong. Joe stands to the side, watching everything unfold. His mind is racing a mile a min. The conversation turned to Joe when your mom asked if he knew.
"I didn't know about the baby." He replies. Your mom turns to you.
"You even kept it from Joe. I'm so disappointed." Your mother shakes her head and walks away. Your dad walks over and hugs you, letting you know he will talk to your mother. You take a deep breath and prepare yourself for the conversation with Joe.
"So, am I the last to know?"
"Clearly not." You whisper. Joe nods his head and licks the inside of his cheek.
"You should've told me as soon as you knew. I knew there was something wrong earlier. Fuck, Cheeks." Joe rubs his face.
"I was nervous. You have a baby on the way. I didn't want to give you more stress."
"Are you keeping it?"
"I have to keep it. I made a promise to myself that-that I would allow one abortion." You whisper the last part, but Joe catches it.
"What do you mean? You had an abortion before?"
"After you left for LSU, I found out-"
"You aborted my child? Without telling me? Were you ever going to tell me?"
"Joe, calm down. I-"
"How can I calm down? You should've told me!"
"I didn't want to hold you back, and I didn't want a baby!" Your grab Joe's hand, pulling him outside, away from your parent's ears. Joe snatches away and begins to pace. He can't even look at you right now.
"Stop saying you didn't want to hold me back. Our relationship ended because you gave up on us."
"Because you would have chosen me over your career."
"I would choose you over any fucking thing."
You remain quiet, letting the sounds of the hot July night feel the uncomfortable space.
"What was I supposed to do? I wanted the best for you, and I wanted my career too. How could I have made it at 20 with a child?"
"Cheeks, I would give up anything in this world to have you. If I had to get a regular job or be a stay-at-home dad while you became a doctor, I would have done it. Contrary to popular belief, football is not my first love. You are."
You didn't think Joe could make you fall more in love, but he did. Your heart skips a beat just like it did during his first-ever confession. You hold back tears as he kisses the corner of your mouth.
"I love you so much. What did I do to deserve you?" You share a kiss, and Joe chuckles against your lips. You genuinely don't know how you ended up with such an amazing man.
"We're having a baby," Joe whispers. You nod your head, wrapping your arms around his neck.
"We're having a fucking baby!" Joe shouts. You cover his mouth, laughing at his outburst. You don't need the whole neighborhood to know. After that night, your mother apologized for her outburst. It didn't take her long to start baby shopping. It felt weird keeping up the act of dating Fran but telling your parents you're carrying Joe's baby was a conversation not ready to be had.
At four months pregnant, your time was split between clinical cases and administrative duties. You promised Joe to take more administrative work, but you couldn't stay away from the ED. Football season was underway, and Joe's schedule was keeping him busy. But he was not busy enough because he called you every free second. When he wasn't on the road, Joe was home with you catering to your every need. You adored him and how he was actively preparing to become a father and reading books, watching videos, and taking classes. You loved every min of it. On the other side, things with Nicole were getting pretty serious. She was hellbent on Joe staying with her no matter how often he made it clear they were done.
"Oh my! You and Joe's child could be best friends!" Robin clapped, coming to the realization. It was Sunday night, and Joe was playing while you didn't want to attend; Mya begged you for it because it was her birthday.
"What?" Nicole looks at you, waiting for Robin to say something.
"Oh gosh. You didn't know yet? I thought Joe would've shared the news. She's pregnant too." Robin announced. You mentally slap yourself because this is not how you wanted Nicole to find out. Nicole's eyes drift to your belly. You had an oversized jacket on, Joe's jacket, and it hid your small belly pretty well. Nicole grabs Amber's hand, and they leave the section. Robin is confused, but you give her a soft smile and go after Nicole.
"Nicole, I thought Joe would've told you and-"
"You! Don't say a fucking word to me. Leave the game right now," She shouts, getting in your face. Mya approaches to calm the situation down because bystanders are looking.
"Hey, you should have this conversation in private unless you want people to know," Mya states looking at you and Nicole.
"I'm the bad guy in this situation. My boyfriend cheated on me, and in your eyes, I'm the bad guy." Nicole cries. You shake your head feeling guilty. You want to blame it on the pregnancy, but you know she's right.
"You're not the bad guy. Joe and I are both in the wrong. But forcing something that isn't there doesn't look good either—threatening me, sending people to watch us. It's all a bit much. They trashed my home. They have photos of me sleeping. Enough is enough, Nicole."
"I have no fucking clue what you're talking about. I didn't send anyone after you. If I want to make you miserable, I will do it myself."
"Nicole, it's clearly you."
"When did the photos start?" Nicole crosses her arms, waiting for your reply.
"When we first started messing around. Why?"
"Did the person send it in a blank envelope?"
"Yeah, How do you-"
"Ladies, is everything okay?" Robin makes her way over, asking. You both nod. You return to the game while Nicole states she isn't feeling well and heads home early. Nicole opens her closet and walks over to a small dresser in the back. She opens the top and pulls out the envelope. Inside are photos of Nicole meeting DJ. But that's not the thing that's been driving her mad. It's the negative pregnancy results sitting in a pile. She needs to come up with a plan fast because there is no way she can keep up the fake pregnancy.
"Joey!" You giggle as he carries you to the bedroom. He gently lays you down and throws his clothes to the floor.
"That was a great game! You guys did amazing."
Joe ignores you and goes straight to your belly. He lifts your shirt to kiss it and sing to the growing baby. You run your hands through his hair and tell him about Nicole. He groans and sits up.
"I don't think she's pregnant. I don't want to sound like an asshole again, bringing it up. But something is off. I mean, she's not even showing."
"Sometimes women don't show until they're super late." You sit up, and Joe pouts.
"I should return home to check on her." Joe stands up and gets dressed. You think that is a better option because Nicole seemed very stressed out. You decide to make some ramen and watch tv. You turn off the tv as you drift to sleep on the couch, and your front door opens. A person walks by, not realizing you're asleep on the couch. You pop up when you hear your bedroom door open.
"Joe? Is that you?" You call out. When there isn't an answer, fear runs through your body. You go to the kitchen and grab a knife.
"I'm calling the police!" You shout, knowing that your phone is charging. Suddenly a hooded figure approaches you. You swing the knife.
"Leave me alone!" You scream. The assailant grabs your wrist, trying to get you to let go. During the struggle, he slams you into the counter and knocks you down. On the way down, your face hits the counter. You quickly cower and cover your stomach to protect the baby.
"I'm pregnant! Please! Please!" You cry. The man runs out of the apartment, leaving you crying and shaking. You're too afraid to move, so you lay there in a fetal position crying. Finally, you pick yourself up and call Mya. She rushes over and takes you to the hospital.
"The baby looks fine. How are you? I'm worried." You OB asks, rubbing your hand. You take your hand away. The side of your face hurts from the fall. You already gave your report to the cops, but you didn't see anything. All you know is that it was a guy. The curtain is pulled back, revealing Joe in complete stress.
"Jo-"
"You're done living there. We're going to move in. I already have some guys moving things to our new place. I don't give a fuck about anything else. Is the baby okay? Are you okay?" Joe takes your hand, and you nod. Mya gives you an apologetic look. She called Joe from your phone even though you told her not to call.
"I can't leave your side. Fuck, Cheeks. Fuck! I could rip that piece of shit's head off. Why didn't you tell me you were still getting letters and photos? Fuck! I'm going to kill this person."
"Joe, please calm down. I just want to go home and sleep. My dad went to get me something to eat. I'll be released soon, and I'm going to stay with my parents until our place is ready."
"You'll move in with me?" He asks with soft eyes. You cup his face and nod. Joe kisses your lips. You spend the next few days at your parent's house. A big regret because your mother is way overprotective. And it doesn't help that Joe is following in her footsteps.
"Isn't your girlfriend pregnant? You should be taking care of her." Your mother laughs, fluffing your pillow while Joe puts the blanket over your legs.
"I wanted to make sure Cheeks was okay." Joe nervously answers.
"You should go. I'm fine, and I have work later."
"You're not going to work." Your mother and Joe both say. You roll your eyes at them. You can't just sit around and do nothing. After much convincing, they let you go to work. You work the night shift, which surprisingly is a slow shift. Tate stands by the counter, watching you check paperwork. You ask about his brothers, and he tells you they're doing better in their new home, and he gets to see them every weekend.
Nicole sits in her chair as her makeup team begins to work. Her co-worker walks in, asking for the room. She hands Nicole a tablet. Nicole flips through the photos of you and Joe.
"Someone emailed me these photos. I won't run the story, but I thought you should know."
Nicole hops down from her chair.
"Nope. You will run this story, but not until I tell you." Nicole hands the tablet back and walks out of her dressing room. Before taking her place at her desk, she looks down at the text from the unknown number telling her time is ticking.
Tumblr media
A/N: This chapter was ehh sorry it sucked omg! I decided to give a little more background character stories and see reader's life outside of Joe. But Omg, now that we know Nicole is also getting letters and photos, the plot thickens. And that Nicole is def not as good as she tries to make herself! It's only a matter of time before Hell breaks loose. So stay tuned! Thank you for all the comments, reblogs, and likes! I see it all and I appreciate it so much!

wc: 1,210 words
warnings: angst!
a/n: this blurb is inspired by this song! I hope you like it, let me know if you have any requests! :)
Meeting someone who you could get along with it´s something that happens once in a lifetime, someone who can understand you without saying words, just by looking into your eyes or someone who would get your jokes (even if they were a little fucked up) was someone who was meant to be part of your life like it was writing in the stars and meant to be like that forever.
“Aria, all I´m saying is you can´t be throwing those jokes around, I know it´s your sense of humor but not everybody gets it,” Austin, her sisters' boyfriend said looking at her, she felt daggers directed towards her. She remembered how they bonded over kid cudi songs and sometimes they would throw a mean joke here and there. Those types of things make her feel safe, she felt like she rediscover herself since the first time they met.
That´s why her breakup with Joe wasn´t something she was ready for, there were times at night she would make up scenarios just to feel like something would happen again between them. Like a light outside a home, waiting for their kids to come back whenever they missed the feeling of being loved, or when they were scared of what the future would hold.
"He was a dipshit Aria" María, her roommate turned best friend from college said looking at her. Aria was curled up in her new bed in an empty apartment she was forced to move into. She had been playing sad songs or as her younger brother would say "having a pity party for herself", she got tired of feeling like that so she called her best friend, and that led to this conversation.
"I know you were in love with him but you can´t love him more than you love yourself," María said looking into her eyes, "I know that but it´s so hard," Aria said before bursting into tears again. She had breakups before but none of them hurt like this one, and in the last relationship she was in, and even then Joe was there, walking her to every class, going shopping with her, and getting acai bowls every Sunday morning after a game on Saturday.
And Aria was there for him as well, in the stands at every game, dressed up in yellow and purple clothing as well as cheering every time Joe threw a touchdown, and she loved doing that. She felt like that was missing in her life, the sense of knowing that no matter what, every weekend would be hers and Joe´s.
Aria loved spending her time with Joe, everyone at LSU would say they were dating, but that was never confirmed or denied by none of them. But the looks they gave each other were enough for everyone to realize both had feelings for each other, everyone knew that just not them.
It was a surprise to no one when the blonde and brunette shared their first kiss at a Taylor Swift theme night at a bar near Baton Rouge,
Joe knew that if at that time he had to make a decision about his future, she was involved in every step of his path. Looking at her, dancing and singing he realized he didn´t want anyone to feel the way he felt about her. So he leaned in, looking at her eyes and just kissing her, wishing he could taste her lips every time they would see each other, so they did, he walked her back to her dorm and kissed her in the hallways until she needed to leave because it was getting late.
"Please, Joe" Aria said between kisses, " Nu-uh, I´m not letting you go anytime soon," He said kissing her lips and hearing her giggle, "I need to go amor, I'll see you tomorrow," she said before kissing him goodnight and entering her dorm. "Amor" Joe couldn´t get that nickname out of his head, Aria heard María one time said that "amor" was love in Spanish and she loved how it sounded. So eventually they called each other by that nickname.
“Look I made us bracelets,” Aria said standing up from her bed as Joe opened the door of her dorm, “Let me see” he got closer and sat beside her, “I love this baby, it´s so pretty,” Joe said while trying to sneak a few kisses from her lips, Aria was giggling and that was Joe´s favorite sound.
She wished on every shooting star and every eyelash that in a near future she would hear the giggles of a little baby Burrow, reminding her of the photos his mom showed her the first time he brought her home, “I can´t thank you enough Aria, Joe has never been this happy and I know he´s deeply in love with you” Robin said giving her a tight hug “I can´t wait for when I can call you my daughter in law” Aria remembered that talk she had with Robin as she found a mug they went to do at pottery together and tears filled her eyes reminiscing how happy they were that night.
Joe was standing on the couch in front of her, “So this is it? You´re giving up on us? In our love? Our future? What about our plans, our family?” Tears filled Aria´s eyes as she couldn´t recognize the man in front of her. “I´m leaving tomorrow for the Patriots game on Sunday,” Joe said looking into her eyes, “After the game, I´m going to stay with Sam until you can get yourself a place,” he said taking the bracelet Aria made him when she was 19 and he was 21, age was never an impediment in the relationship, it made her feel more mature and ready for the next step.
However, life goes on and even though Aria felt like she was healing, one night she was scrolling on Tiktok and found out the Bengals QB kissing another girl, one that looked nothing like her, with long blonde hair, blue eyes, and taller than her 5’4 height, she wasn´t sure if she should be taking that as a compliment but a conversation replayed on her mind constantly.
“I love you more than my life Aria, if I'm giving up on you it´s cause I know I'm not what you need right now, you are starting a business you have dreamed of since you were a kid, and this constant flying and not knowing when I will be ready for whatever you may be ready for it´s just..” Joe said looking at her, feeling empty inside and with a heart numbed that no longer felt like it was going to explode out of his chest. “Look, you can stay here I can find a new place” Aria heard him said that as he grabbed the keys, she was so lost in her thoughts, she wasn´t registering anything, Joe didn´t come back, he left for a week and that allowed the brunette to move out.
Joe drove until his tank almost ran out, he needed to clear his head, and while he was meeting other people, Aria was a mess, she wasted her time on idiotic things, things she wished Joe said to her.  Maybe one day he would own up to what he did to her, give her a real apology, not that bullshit people say when they don´t feel the same anymore.

Tumblr Post:
the Bengals’ 2023 Football Season has come come to an end… and it’s truly a bittersweet feeling. A season that started out with so much hope and high exceptions for the great team ended with unexpected injuries and feelings of uncertainty of the future.
but, let’s not dwell on the past season and the what if’s scenario’s of what the season could’ve been without the injuries and without the important game losses…let’s look forward to the next season where Joe Burrow is going to be healed from his injury and will play on the football field then lead The Bengals to become Super Bowl Champions at the SuperDome in New Orleans!
as the off-season begins, let’s remember to not spread around rumors or misinformation of any kind and to wait for trusted sources to confirmed or deny the rumors and to inform or debunk the misinformations.
the football season may be over, but The Bengals are going into next season as being undefeated in 2024!
thank you Cincinnati Bengals 🤍

|| Hear You Me || Joe Burrow
Tumblr media
Based off A Cinderella Story (with Hillary Duff)
A/N: I realize that this was a long time coming. Yes, I have been absent for a HOT minute. For that, I truly am sorry. But my absence will always bring new content :P My best friend has been begging for this scenario for a lonnnggggg time and I told her it would take time for me to come up with this. Just like they always say…good things take time ;)
Pairing Joe Burrow x reader
Trope: best friends to lovers
Warnings: Joe just being too stupid to see what was right in front of him all along! Angst and fluff! This was very much rushed as well and I am sorry for the time jumps :/
__________
The night air was turning colder but your body was warm. The water in the hot tub was just the perfect temperature and the jets were soothing your sore muscles. A glass of wine was perched in between your fingers and you gaze out to the city lights shining brightly. You may have been bias but Cincinnati did have the best skyline.
“Scoot over!” Your silence was broken as you see Joe coming through the sliding doors of the patio. He was wearing his swim shorts and the moment the cold air touched his skin he wrapped his large arms around his body. He was trying to keep as much heat trapped in his body as if he wasn’t about to sit in a hot tub.
You lightly giggle at his behavior and scoot over a little to allow him room to get in. He quickly steps in and sinks down slowly to allow the water to submerge him. He scoots in close to you and this relaxed sigh leaves his lips once he settles.
“I told you the hot tub would be worth it.” You say and thank your past self for purchasing it. You’ve wanted one for a long time for a lot of reasons. Joe said it would be a waste of money and he even offered to just buy you one so you’d shut up about it. You told him no because you wanted to earn that after all the hard work you put up with. Late hours at work was definitely worth every second for this moment.
“Debatable. You should have just let me buy it for you.” Joe closes his eyes and leans his head against the head rest. His body sinks even further to where his legs stretched across the tub.
“There’s no satisfaction in that.” You argue back.
“Whatever you say babe.” Joe mumbles and the pet name made you crane your neck towards him. That’s the third time he’s used that this week.
“What’s up with you and the word babe lately?” You put the air quotes around babe.
He shrugs his shoulders like it’s nothing. In all the 7 years of knowing Joe he’s never called you that. In fact, he’s only ever called you by your nickname he made for you. You two have had a long history of friendship. On either ends of the relationship you have dealt with a lot. A lot of breakups, drama, stress, and simple life hassles.
Within in the last year you began to have some subtle new feelings arise to the surface for him. Everyone knows those feelings and they all start so innocently. Of course, you love Joe. You two said it frequently but it never meant nothing more than the I care for you kinda I love you.
It wasn’t until you and him were placed in one of your college friends wedding together did you first feel it. You told yourself it was just the atmosphere from that night that made you think differently. You tried so hard to push the thought away. But it just kept coming back and it kept coming back in different forms.
In little segments or moments you slowly started to fall for your best friend. You didn’t really put it together until Joe did one thing for you. It was so simple but it’s what tipped the iceberg for you. He was there for you the moment you needed someone the most. And he saw that and knew what he had to do.
“Where did you just go? You just got really spaced out.” Joe asks and he was staring at you intently.
“Oh-I-“ you pause to come up with an excuse but nothing appeared. “Did you know this has a speaker?!” You excitedly stand and reach across Joe to get to the speaker that connects to your phone.
He grins at you as you fiddle with the volume and song selection. Your body was so close to his and deep inside of him he was losing it. Yet he knew he could never cross that thin line you two have between each other. He was terrified of losing you if he did.
You were trying to adjust the jets and your body began to slip from the position it was in. When your foot slipped was when you then fell onto Joe’s lap. Instantly your cheeks were red and not just that small pink tint, the fiery red tint. He caught you at your waist. His large hands held onto your bare sides and you’re not sure if you’d adjusted the temperature accidentally from the fall. Because the area was beginning to heat up.
His eyes meet yours as you still sat frozen in his lap. Neither of you were attempting to move from this position. Those blue eyes were glistening even more from the steam and city lights reflecting in them.
It all happened so fast. In the blink of an eye you were leaning in and he was pulling you closer to him. He places his hand up behind your neck and just like that he guides you towards his lips. The moment your lips collide is the moment everything started to align. It was an innocent kiss but a passionate one. It was as if all the energy between you two had been released.
That one kiss led to more kisses. The kisses became longer. You adjusted yourself to properly face him and straddled his thighs. He held on to you so tight. With each lingering kiss he pulls you in further and further. His hands were roaming your body. In all his years of knowing you he wondered what this would feel like. It was better than he could ever imagine. You were gasping for air and so was he. The steamy hot water multiplied everything in that moment.
“Joe.” You pull away for a moment to look him in the eyes again. It was like everything shifted inside of him. There was this unreadable look in those eyes now.
“Um I-“ He was at a lost for words and suddenly you were being lifted up off of him. He stood from his seat and climbed out of the hot tub. “I think I should go.” He announces and starts to dry off very quickly.
“Joe wait a second. We should talk about this.” You stood up and began to climb out as well. He was already through the doors that lead into the living room. You grab your towel and rush inside after him.
He was picking up his sweatshirt and throwing it over his torso in a rush. “Joe please we have to talk about this.” You step across the room to reach him but he was not listening to you.
“I shouldn’t have done that.” He says and those words stung so much.
“What do you mean ‘I’? We both made that decision.” You were trying to remain calm so he would calm down enough to talk about this.
“I shouldn’t have let it continue.” He slings his bag over his shoulder and turns away.
“So that’s it. After 7 years of this friendship you are going to turn your back on me and leave. I thought what we had was better than that.” Your eyes fill with tears and you swallow the lump in your throat. Is this a nightmare?
“I need some time to process this.” His words were short as he stood in front of you. You could see the way his tough guy ego was beginning to falter.
“Time?? Joe just talk to me. We can work this out. Please don’t leave like this.” You could hear the shakiness in your voice. Your hand reaches out for his and he pulls back away from you.
A small single tear spills over the edge and you frantically wipe it away. He takes long strides to your front door and you follow close behind him.
“Joe please.” You beg of him to acknowledge anything that just happened.
“I have to go. What just happened between us was a mistake. I need time.” Joe’s words left you concreted to the floor in a state of shock. The word mistake rang in your ear so loud.
There were no words that you could muster up to say to that. Before you knew it he was in his car and speeding down the road away from you.
—————-
A month has passed by since the kiss. Joe was now heavily drawn into his season and you were going through the motions everyday. He seemed to be doing alright without you. All his post conference interviews he seemed put together. Like nothing ever happened.
Joe hasn’t spoke to you since that night. You wanted to respect his wishes of needing time and space. But now you felt betrayed. You were missing your best friend terribly.
It was only a matter of time before you two would somehow cross paths again. Your friends all intertwined and parties did happen quite frequently. His teammates began to notice your absence rather quickly. When they questioned him about it he just brushed it off as if it was nothing. All of his closest teammates like Sam and Ja’Marr began to worry about him. He was not himself lately and it was beginning to show in practice and games.
“Joe what’s up with you and Y/n? Why hasn’t she been to our post game parties and even the wives and girlfriends at tailgates have been asking about her.” Sam comes up to Joe after practice.
Joe was sitting in front of his locker staring at his phone. He was looking at a picture of you from Halloween last year. You were decked out in a Star Wars Jedi costume. You stood in a stance with a lightsaber held in your hands as he snaps the photo. He remembers so much from that specific night.
That was the night he realized he was falling in love with you.
Joe looks up from his phone and quickly locks his screen to hide what he was doing. “What did you say?” He asks Sam to repeat himself.
“Alright that’s it. Talk to me man. You are not yourself lately. It’s starting to show on the field.” Sam cautiously begins to question Joe’s behavior.
Joe sighs and looks at Sam with this pleading look. “I messed up man.” Joe replies.
That’s when Sam pulled up a chair and sat there to listen to what Joe had to say. From the very beginning he told everything and he told his true feelings. Joe made the biggest mistake of his life walking out on you that night.
“Tonight we have our annual bonfire. One of the wives made sure that Y/n was going to be there. You need to talk to her tonight and apologize.” Sam gives the best advice he can. "Most importantly, you need to tell her how you really feel."
"Sam I can't. What if she doesn't feel the same way and it totally alters our relationship. I'd rather be in her life than not." Joe says.
"If you keep ignoring her like this, you will lose her for sure. The what if's are scary but what you did is not fair to her. She did nothing to deserve that. You need to try and fix this." Sam explains.
“It’s not going to be that easy. But I will try my best.” Joe replies.
After their talk they both go home and get ready for the bonfire that was held at Evan’s place. It was kinda ironic that Evan was the kicker and he was the one with the huge field to have this bonfire. A kicker and a field. It’s not really that ironic.
Joe was sitting by the large fire talking with his teammates. You were nowhere in site yet and Joe was beginning to think you wouldn’t show.
It took everything in you to get the courage to go. You parked your car out in front of the house and began walking towards the back entrance where the gate was. You saw all the girlfriends and wives sitting at the patio area talking and drinking a glass of pink lemonade. You knew it was spiked lemonade but that didn’t bother you one bit.
Everyone of them light up when they spot you coming through the gate. Each of them gives you a hug and asks where you’ve been. They missed you. It wasn’t uncommon for you to be the funny one in this mixed group. They love to hear your stories and you never fail to make them smile or laugh.
You sat with them for awhile catching up on the latest gossip. The wives in the group always seemed to know the dirtiest of drama. It was like something straight out of a telenovela.
“Y/n.” You hear that familiar voice say your name and you wanted to curse at yourself for the butterflies it caused. He stood across the patio area and stared at you. Joe was in awe of you and not seeing you in a month made all those feelings burst inside of him. He felt a head rush as you connect your eyes.
“Joe.” You stood from your chair and excused yourself from the ladies. You two step away out of ear shot from everyone else.
“I was beginning to think that you were not going to come.” Joe starts the conversation.
“The ladies really wanted to see me. I didn’t really want to let them down.” You reply. There was an uneasiness in your voice and you were building walls up to protect yourself.
“They do love to be around you.” He adds and you awkwardly look around the field. Joe could not do anything else but stare at you and he was doing his best to come up with the right words.
“I should probably get back to the group.” You begin to turn around until his hand reaches for your arm putting a halt to your movements.
“Wait. There is something I need to say.” You face him now and stood firm in your stance. “I just want you to know that I miss you and it’s been really hard without you this past month.” He continues to speak but there was an angry spark beginning to form inside of you.
“Is that all?” Your lips press together in a firm line.
“I’m sorry too. What I did was inexcusable.” He adds and you cross your arms in front of your chest.
“Joe you hurt me.” You say to really get your point across.
This frown forms on his face as he looks at you. “I appreciate the apology. I truly do. This entire month you didn’t once check on me. I know you said you needed your space but Joe that has never stopped you from caring. I thought I lost you.” You have to take a few deep breaths to hold back the tears. You’ve done your fair share of crying lately.
“I wish I could take back everything that I said that night. It was not fair to you. After everything we have been through I walked out on you. I was scared.” He confesses.
“Scared of what?” You question.
“I-“ He tries to find the right words for you. “I was just scared.” Is all he could say.
“Will you just tell me Joe? I’m just trying to understand what went wrong that night. You know as well as I do what that kiss meant.” Your eyes were deeply looking into his. Maybe they would have the answer you want to hear from him.
He stood there frozen in his stance now. Does he say those three words? No. His heart was so afraid of what it would do. He couldn’t do it.
“You know what? It’s not my place. I can’t wait around for you. It’s been a year of me hopelessly falling for you.” You huff out a deep sigh in annoyance. Joe’s eyes light up at the words you just spoke. Then the brick wall that protects his heart appeared so quickly.
“But waiting for you to realize what truly lies beneath the surface is like waiting for rain in the desert.” Joe couldn’t move. He was at a lost for words because everything that she was saying was true. He was to afraid of what could be instead of trying it. That was going to be his downfall.
You were standing up for yourself though. After this past month you had to do something right for you. You cared for Joe so much. That’s why you never let yourself start to heal from those words he said to you after the kiss. You wanted to keep him as close as you could. You blamed yourself for what had happened. A situation like this, it goes both ways. You knew what you had to do.
Time was something that you both needed and hopefully when things are better then you guys can repair what was broken. At least you hoped that. Joe was and will remain to be your best friend.
__________
Two weeks later you found yourself talking on the phone with Sam. He was begging you to come to the AFC Championship. Joe didn’t realize after that night of you walking away from him he lost his charm. His good luck charm to be exact.
Now his career was on the line and the Bengals were headed to the championship. A spot that would earn themselves a Super Bowl game. Joe needed all the support and help he could get tonight. All he could think about was you. He needed you back in his life.
Joe didn’t want to hurt you again though. Maybe that’s why he let you walk away. It didn’t take long for him to realize what mistake he made this time.
“Sam I don’t know. It’s been really hard for me. Even seeing him on tv is difficult. Going to the championship is way worse.” You confess to him as you sat on your couch anxiously chewing your nails.
“Please. He needs you. I know he doesn’t show it. But he needs you now more than ever. I left you your ticket with the box office. Please come. I have to get ready. I hope to see you here tonight.” Sam hangs up the phone and leaves you sitting there questioning everything.
*You can start playing Hear You Me if you wanna set the mood*
The walls you have built were surely crumbling now. You wanted to stay at home and watch rom coms all night until you cried yourself to sleep. Deep down inside of you you knew that no matter what feelings arose to the surface between you and Joe, you had to be his supporter first. He was your friend first and friends wouldn’t let each other down like that. The least you can do is show up. For one night.
With a great unsteady sigh you get up from the couch and begin to get ready. Hanging in your closet was one of Joe’s old jerseys he gave you. It was the middle of winter so you dressed in layers. A black turtle neck was worn underneath the jersey and you chose leggings with loose jeans over top to hopefully keep warm. You wore this jersey a lot. It symbolized many things for you two. It felt normal as you reach for the small gold necklace with the number 9 charm attached to it. Another gift Joe gave you with beautiful memories along with it.
Your heart was heavy and burning as you drove to the stadium. Sam even made sure you had your same parking spot that you preferred. All of those guys became your family and this just goes to show what they would do to make sure their friends are okay. The game just tipped off as you reached the box office. They immediately recognized you and slid the ticket with the pass through the window slot.
You walk through security and make your way down to the lower section in the front row right behind the bench. People noticed you and their faces lit up. You try to keep a soft smile on your face as you watch the game.
Joe hadn’t noticed you yet. You could see the frustration in his eyes and he was not playing like Joe Burrow. You felt nauseated watching the game unfold. People around you were chanting and most of all chanting his name.
You were trying so hard to keep everything together. This was much harder than you ever thought it could be. The man you so desperately love was a couple hundred feet away from you and you only wanted him. He was struggling because of the emotional toll you two have been through.
Something caught your eye quickly and you saw snow flakes begin to fall on to the field. The flakes turned into heavy flurries and filled the area quickly in this white blanket. The white snow complimented the black of their jerseys so well. The game was nearing the end and the score was tied. Sudden death was in play and you were falling apart piece by piece and second by second.
You catch eyes with Sam standing by the benches. There was this thankful look in his eyes from the realization. Joe still had no idea you were there. His body was physically and mentally exhausted as he huddled up with his teammates. This next play was detrimental for the Bengals.
Joe looks up and scans the crowd. He couldn’t help but wonder if you’d be here and the moment he saw you his heart beat skips. His eyes fill with those pesky tears and everything came crashing down at once for him. He allows his impulsive thoughts to take over and one foot led out in front of the other. He could hear his teammates yelling as he pulls his helmet off calling for a timeout.
Zac Taylor was yelling at his quarterback rather aggressively, but Joe was only focused on you. You were beginning to turn and leave so you could get out of this bitter cold snow. You couldn’t bare this place any longer.
“Y/n.” Joe yells your name. The name that rolled so perfectly off his lips. The one name that he wants to call after for the rest of his life. Fear be damned. You were all he ever needed in this world.
You turn around thinking that you were hallucinating. When you see Joe climbing the stadium wall and over the rail you locked up. He slides past a couple people and they all move out of the way to let him through. The stadium was louder than ever before. Joe grabs a hold of your sides and looks you straight in the eyes.
“Joe what are you doing?! You are going to get fined or something worst.” Your eyes were like golf balls as he just looks at you smiling.
“I’m saying something I should have said a long time ago but was the biggest chicken shit ever.” He wipes away the snow flurries that land on your pink cheeks.
“Im falling in love with you. I love you. I’m not scared anymore. I have to have you Y/n.” He confesses and you were in complete shock but a small smile formed on your face at his words.
There Joe stood in front of you, shoulder pads, cleats and sweaty
Joe cups your face and leans down to give you a kiss. The snow falls harder around you guys and the crowd around you was going in a frenzy. Both of you smile into the kiss and Joe lifts you up off the ground. Your arms swing around his neck to hold on to him.
“I’m sorry I waited for the…” he pauses for a second and looks around. “The snow.” He grins and you roll your eyes. There was happy tears spilling out of your eyes and you lock your lips with him again.
“I love you Joe Burrow.” You say in between kisses and he was whole again. You were right where you should be. With him. “Now get back out there and win this game!”
Joe gently sits you back down. He gives you another passionate kiss before rushing back to the field to finish what he started. His teammates were going to give him hell and back for his actions tonight. You could see it in their faces and the way they looked at each other. However, they were happy to see that smile on their quarterbacks face again.
AFC Champions sounded better now that Joe had his girl back. His best friend in the entire world was his.

Calls for NFL Reforms Grow After Damar Hamlin Suffers Cardiac Arrest During Game
Chris Walker January 3, 2023
Tumblr media
Damar Hamlin, a 24-year-old safety in his second season with the Buffalo Bills, is in critical condition after going into cardiac arrest during a Monday night game with the Cincinnati Bengals.
After tackling wide receiver Tee Higgins, Hamlin took two steps and collapsed backward. Medical personnel immediately rushed to his side, administering CPR and giving him oxygen as he lay motionless on the ground. Hamlin was then strapped to a stretcher and carted off the field in an ambulance.
Commentators were at a loss for words, and went to commercial break several times during the 10 to 15 minutes that Hamlin received medical attention. Several players from both teams were visibly upset, with many crying and praying on the field as medical care was being administered.
It appears that players were initially told they would have five minutes in the locker room before resuming the game, but after coaches from both teams conferred with officials, it was agreed that the game should be suspended indefinitely. About an hour later, the NFL announced that the game would be postponed.
NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent disputed the claim that play was going to resume five minutes after Hamlin was driven off the field, even though it appeared on screen that players had been told to warm up after Hamlin was carted away, with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow throwing footballs to his teammates during that time.
“Neither coach was talking about resuming play, the players were not thinking of resuming play,” Vincent said. “How do you resume play after seeing such a traumatic event?”
A statement from the Bills on Tuesday morning said that Hamlin’s heart had stopped but was restored by medical professionals on the field. He is now sedated and in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
Jordan Rooney, Hamlin’s friend and marketing representative, tweeted earlier in the evening that Hamlin’s vitals had returned “to normal.”
Teams and players tweeted well wishes for Hamlin and expressed shock at the incident.
Many commentators urged the NFL to consider reforms in the wake of Hamlin’s injury and other worrisome injuries that took place earlier this season.
After explaining a number of scenarios that could have led to Hamlin collapsing on the field, ER physician and social media personality Jeremy Faust said that changes to the sport needed to be discussed. “The worst fears are being confronted, and this must trigger reform,” he said.
Some social media users, including political columnist Skip Bayless, questioned how the game could be resumed this late in the season. Nina Turner, a progressive former Ohio state lawmaker, condemned Bayless’s tweet, suggesting that it showcased the way sports leagues exploit athletes, particularly players of color.
“This goes to show how some dehumanize professional athletes, especially Black athletes,” Turner wrote on Twitter. “These athletes are people with families. They are people, not bodies meant for entertainment.”
In an op-ed for Truthout in October, journalist Harvey Wasserman, who once played football as a wide receiver, pointed to other serious injuries this season, arguing that changes to the sport were desperately needed. When Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa collapsed on the field earlier in the season after sustaining a hard hit to his head, for example, the team initially told the public he had undergone a “back injury.” Tagovailoa was allowed to play the following week, only to sustain yet another head injury.
While quarterbacks are especially in need of protection, players in all positions are at risk of severe injury, Wasserman noted.
“For all the focus on rules surrounding quarterbacks, the essence of the game at all positions remains embedded in its violence, with the expectation of injury being virtually universal,” he wrote. 
Replacing tackling with the use of flags “may be the game’s only hope,” he went on, adding:
The violence lovers will whine that the sport is going “wimpy.” But in the long term, the whole game must be overhauled and made less brutal. The grotesque parade of seriously harmed young stars being carted off the field is not sustainable.
The reality is this…

Number Nine - Joe Burrow
This will be LSU Burrow.
*gif not mine* **disclaimer: not edited and not great. gotta get used to writing for burrow and those handsome football boys*
Tumblr media
oh boy here we go 🥰
*********************************************************
“Watch where you’re going Burrow!” You shouted at the quarterback for your school, him whipping around to glare at you.
“Maybe you shouldn't be in the way.” He shrugged as he kept walking, his friends tussling his hair as he shoved them off. 
LSU had a big game against Alabama and the closer it gets to game day, the more chaotic campus gets. 
It was two days prior, meaning it was insane. People were out and about, them all basically shoving into each other,. 
The school was having a pep rally that they were requiring the football team to attend. 
This game was more than just a game. This game was for the division title.
You knew this, but honestly, you could have cared less about it at this time. 
You and Joe had history. 
You and Joe had been close for years, him being one of the reasons you chose to attend LSU over Michigan. You never missed one of his games and that's what confused your friends the most. Neither of you had spoken in a few weeks. You two had a bad argument before a game against Georgia and you hadn't heard anything since, until today when you snapped at him. 
Little did you know, your friend and Joe had been in contact, him not exactly explaining what had happened between you two, but he wanted to ensure that they'd somehow have you at the game tonight- which they agreed to. 
**
It was days later and the game was in approximately a hour and a half, and currently, your friends were in your dorm, begging you to attend with them. 
“Please!” Kira begged as she sat beside you, your other friends sitting on your roommates bed, “Worst case scenario is they lose and we go home immediately.”
You rolled your eyes at her, knowing that is exactly how it wouldn’t go. Whether LSU or Alabama won, you all would be going out to a nearby bar or whatever party was being thrown.
Because that's how your friends are. 
“Fine! Whatever- if it makes you shut up about it.” You grumbled as she tossed her hands around you. 
“Oh thank you!” She pressed a sloppy kiss to your cheek, “Glad you came to your senses.” She grinned, “Let’s get this on you then.” “Dont push it K.” you said, “Also, we are not sitting near the front and I’ll be damned if I wear... that.” You said as you pointed towards the LSU jersey that was hanging on the back of your door that read ‘Burrow’ on the back of it, now in Kira’s hands.
Your friends looked at wearily, them not sure what had you so pissed off at him. They knew something was up because of where Joe had approached them, but nothing was said and they didnt ask out of respect for you. 
But now that you were acting weird about sitting in an area that you normally sat in, going to a game you wouldnt have missed for the world, and wearing your favorite person’s jersey? They knew something was up and whatever it was- it was not going to end well for you.
“Whatever you say.” 
**
You grumbled under your breath as you and your four friends walked to the seats you typically sat in. 
Your eyes met Joe’s back. As soon as you sat down, you saw Joe turn around with his teammate talking to him, but it wasn't Joe that saw you. It was Ja’marr. 
“Dont look now Burrow.” Ja’marr said as he clapped his hand on Joe’s back, acting like everything was normal, “But Y/N is here.”
“She’s what?” Joe looked shocked, but he listened to his friend and decided not to look for you in the stands. 
*
LSU had won. 
They were the national champions of the SEC and all Joe wanted to do was celebrate.
But most importantly, he wanted to celebrate with you.
You and your friends hung around the stadium, watching all the players congratulate each other along with their friend groups. The field was practically empty as you guys had gotten up to leave, it no longer feeling like your place to see Joe like that after a game anymore. 
“Hey wait!” You heard a deep voice call after you, you not stopping until you heard your name shouted. 
“Y/N!” another voice chimed in causing you two whip around, seeing Joe and Ja’marr walking towards you.
Of course Ja’Marr knew it all. He was one of Joe’s closest friends and honestly, sometimes his voice of reason. 
“You came.”
“and I’m leaving.” You said as you turned around, trying to take a step forward, but was pulled back once you felt a hand on your forearm.
“Wait.” you heard a whisper as you watched your friends clear you, giving you two space, “Talk to me. Please?” 
“I have nothing to say to you.” you said as you jerked your arm from his grasp. 
***
It had been a couple of days since your last interaction with Joe and you were sort of starting to feel bad for the way you treated him in the tunnel. 
You two had met up and talked about things, you finally hearing his side of everything, him apologizing profusely until you forgave him, which in the end- you did. 
“You’re lucky you’re cute.” You chuckled as you two sat on the couch in his off campus house.
“Wait, you think I’m cute?”
“Sure do number nine.” You grinned up at him, “Have for the last two years JB.”
“Good.” His eyes widened before he smirked, “Glad to know we make a good team.” he continued, “I just dont understand why you didn't say anything before?”
“Why’s that?” you asked, “and we were just friends, nothing more, nothing less.” you shrugged. 
“Because it’s good to know that for when I ask you out.” he said, ignoring the last part you had said. 
“Oh.” You widened your eyes, clearly taken back by his comment, “So you want to-“
“I do. Have for a while.” He said as he turned his body to get a better look at you, “That’s if you want to.”
“Count me in nine.”

Wait I love these scenarios so much! I came up with a cheesy one!
Y/N: Hey Baby Burrow you're so cute
Joe: Hey that's not fair you're talking to the baby more than you talk to me.
Y/N: Joe, it's our baby
Joe: Not fair that you spend so much time with him and call him your favorite boy in the whole world.
Y/N: sighs
Joe: Fine, I am leaving the house and going go Tee’s.
LMFAOOOO he’s the one and only favorite boy in that house 😂
