Just Like Home || JoAnna

Anna was home.  This had never felt more real for Joseph than it did when he stepped off the airplane at LAX.  It was late, the airport looking more bare than he'd ever seen it before.  Joseph was usually one to love the hustle and bustle, being surrounded by people just like him, just trying to get where there going.  Tonight was different, though.  Tonight was the first time he'd been in LA for what felt like the longest time.  Tonight, all he wanted to do was race through the airport, no people, no hold-ups.  Tonight it had been months since he'd gotten to see the person he loved, since he'd gotten to hold her, since he'd gotten to kiss her.  Tonight, Joseph thanked whatever gods may be that he could breeze through the airport to the rental car he'd called ahead for.

More than just his first time back in forever, tonight was Anna's birthday.  It marked another year for her, and Joseph wanted nothing more than to make the day perfect.  He'd decided long ago that he couldn't do that from hundreds of miles away, so without telling her, he'd booked a flight home a week earlier than intended.  She deserved to smile on her birthday, she deserved everything.  Distance had been harder than he ever thought it could be.  Being away from Anna, especially so soon after their wedding, was one of the hardest things he'd ever done.  And he knew, if it was hard for him, it must be hard for Anna, too.  They were each other's puzzle pieces, and he'd felt that missing piece since the moment he'd flown away from her.  They knew that work would make things difficult, it wasn't something they hadn't planned on.  It was just...he never knew it would be this hard.

Joe's first stop wasn't home, as much as he wanted to steer the car directly to their house, breaking every speed limit along the way.  His first stop was Taco Bell.  The drive-thru felt like the longest wait of his life, even if there was only one car ahead of him, and he drummed his hands restlessly against his steering wheel.  Any hold-up was too long.  It was a necessary stop, though.  It was an Anna thing.  To anyone else, bean burritos at near midnight on someone's birthday might seem completely pointless, possibly stupid, but it was Anna.  So many of their dates had been bean burritos and Italian cream sodas, it only seemed fitting that they should be involved in their homecoming, as well.  Finding a coffee shop open at eleven at night was impossible, so Joe had to improvise, buying the stuff to make them himself.

When he finally pulled up to the house, a part of him that he didn't even realize was unsettled relaxed inside of him.  Anna was just inside, it was as if he could just feel it.  She was right there.  A smile spread across his face as he gathered his purchases, excitement bubbling inside of him as he walked up to the door.  He opened the door, making sure to make enough noise that Anna would hear it, wanting to surprise her, but not scare her.  Pushing the door open, his eyes immediately moved to the living room, seeking out the woman he loved.  Once he found her, it was like a piece of him slid back into place.  It had been way too long.  "Hey, you."  He called softly, a smile spreading across his face.  "Happy Birthday."

So, I know you've all probably read Stone's post on Anna by now, but I just wanted to make my own about the whole thing.

I've loved this rp so much.  It was my first tumblr rp, and it's been a part of my life for well over a year now, even if the last few months have been shady at best.  I want you to know I love all of you, and making the decision to leave has seriously been one of the hardest I've ever made.

I wish you all the absolute best, in both life and rp.  I love you!

Anna smiled, not being able to stop smiling, not being able to help the tears of happiness form in her eyes. In this moment, everything was perfect: his smile, the way he looked at her and gently squeezed her hand. Anything could’ve gone wrong, everything could have…but as long as Joe was right there— as long as she wasn’t left sobbing as he walked away like it had once happened before…then she was completely happy and content. Her left hand rested in his, smiling, her blue eyes locking with his brown eyes. Her thumb lightly brushed the underside of his hand, seeing that he seemed to be having an internal freak-out. Anna’s finger brushed softly against his skin, pressing her lips into a smile, letting him know that it was completely okay. That he was doing wonderful.

Her blue eyes narrowed down to her hand, watching his fingers slip the ring on her finger, right below her engagement ring, and her head lifted up, looking at him as he had slipped the engagement ring back on. Anna held the wedding band in her right hand as her newly ringed left hand took his left hand in hers. Anna gave him a beaming smile before her eyes narrowed to his bare ring finger. “With this ring, I thee wed…” She softly spoke, slipping the golden wedding ring on his finger. “…and pledge you my love, now and forever.” Her smile never faded, the light pink never stopped brushing throughout her cheeks, her blue eyes sparkling with love and complete passion for him. Every word she spoke was completely firm, strong, and genuine. Never in her life had she thought she would become a wife— never did she think she’d be married, wanting to have kids and a family with someone…with this man, with her Joseph. The day she met him, changed everything and she had no idea that agreeing to play apart in a film would have this much of an affect on her for the rest of her, for the rest of their lives. 

I do. Those two words changed everything. Another small happy tear streamed down her cheek as she took a step closer to him, as one hand held onto both of his hands as her right hand gently resting on his cheek, her thumb brushing along the skin of his cheekbone. 

"And do you Anna Kendrick, take Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt as your husband, for you to love, honor, comfort, and cherish him from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto him for as long as you both shall live?”

Her lips pressed together in a smile as she nodded, her blue eyes locked with his, never leaving his brown eyes that captured her heart every time- speaking so much to him with just a look. “I do,” she softly promised to him. 

"By authority vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride."

[josephhyfr]

As soon as the priest gave him permission, Joseph pulled Anna close to him, pressing his lips gently against hers.  As always, she fit perfectly in his arms, her warmth filling him up, and he smiled against her lips.  This moment was everything, forever.  The feel of her in his arms, his lips against hers, the way they fit together so perfectly.  This was their forever, and Joseph almost couldn't believe it.  Knowing that there was an entire crowd of onlookers was the only thing that kept Joe from getting lost in that moment, from holding Anna against him forever.  Finally leaning back, Joe kept one hand against Anna's cheek, eyes meeting hers.

"We're married."  He whispered, just loud enough for her to hear him over their friends and family.  They were married.  The "I do"s were said, the rings were on.  This was the start of their forever.  The thought made Joseph's stomach jump in the best kind of way, his heart rate picking up, and an unstoppable smile spreading across his face.  He was hers and she was his.  Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  They'd share a home, maybe some day a kid, and always their hearts.  It was amazing how much a simple piece of paper could mean, a small ceremony, and only a few words exchanged.  It was as if his entire life had changed in the course of a few minutes, and he welcomed it with open arms.  They loved each other whole-heartedly, and now the entire world would know.

"I love you."  Joseph gave her another quick kiss before grabbing her hand in his, beginning the walk back down the aisle, this time together.  The reception was just down the hill, and he watched as their family and friends were led in that direction, leaving the two of them with a brief moment alone.  Joe warred with the idea of just grabbing Anna and taking off.  They only had one night in a hotel room before they were being whisked away on a jet to Paris, and all Joseph wanted to do was get back to that room.  He could care less for all of the post-ceremony proceedings, the photographs, the toasts.  But he knew that wouldn't be right.  They needed their first dance, the father-daughter dance, wise words from long-time friends.  So he bit back the urge to grab her hand and run, and instead pulled her into a tight hug.

"I love you so much, Anna."  His words were slightly muffled against the top of her head, but he didn't care.  As long as she understood him, that's all that mattered.  He finally let go, holding her at arms length.  One hand came up to cup her cheek gently, rubbing his thumb along her cheekbone.  "You happy?  Was it everything you've ever wanted in a wedding?  Can I call you Mrs. Gordon-Levitt?"

Her heart skipped a few beats before it had returned to it’s normal pace. Seeing him, being right by his side on this day was more important and more special than it could ever be put into words. Anna couldn’t stop smiling, her smile was for him as her blue eyes had never left his. He was the only person in the world to her, in this moment. Anna handed her flowers to a bridesmaids, her small hands slipping perfectly in his. Her petite body stood close to him, hands and eyes on him— he was her everything, without a single doubt. She had always had that in the pit of the gut feeling that he was the right one for her. Simply, he was her world. Anna had known it from the beginning, knowing that somehow and in someway he was meant to be in her life, and she was meant to be in his. Seeing him, knowing he was always by her side…the nerves had faded. There was no reason to be scared, not when he was right there. They had learned the hard way, that love was never easy and it was more hard than ever when you truly loved that person and gave that one person every ounce of everything you had, and even more. 

A smile continued to beam across her lips as she heard puzzle. It was like he had never forgotten any bit of their conversations— any bit of anything that had shaped and mold them to be the couple they were together. Everyone else had no idea as to way he rambled about Tonka and puzzle pieces…but Anna knew, completely, the puzzle piece charm around her neck was pure proof. Happy tears brimmed along her waterline, refusing to let them fall before she was even able to get through her own vows dedicated to him.  His words sank into her well being, her heart, and her mind wrapped itself around them, just so they would stay in her thoughts. A moment of silence settled between them. Silence was always normal for them. They were the couple that could say everything to each other, without breathing a single word.Her thumb lightly brushed along his skin, her teary blue eyes never breaking away from his. “I love you, so much Joseph,” she softly whispered before she pressed her lips together, taking half of a moment to gather her words together that she had committed to her own memory for this moment, for reading words off a paper just made her feel as if she was following a script. But this wasn’t a script— these words were her own, and from her heart and soul, directly and only for and to him. 

"When someone says the word perfect, everyone is thinking without any flaws. But as everyone should know, nothing is perfect…you will find flaws even in the most well put together world. What a lot of people don’t know is that perfect really means: as good as it is possible to be. That is my definition, it always has been and for a long time I was a word without that correct definition. When I first met you, I knew you were someone different— you’re smart, talented, a breath of fresh air, charismatic, hard working, and beyond caring. I knew I had met a good friend that day, what I didn’t know was that I met my own personal definition of perfect. Everything we have been through, everything we had put each other through, just added more onto our own definition. Being perfect means having flaws, and finding that one person who loves them because of their mistakes, their regrets, their failures, and their flaws. Perfectly loving a person means loving them even more on their absolutely worst days than loving them on their good days." A small happy tear stream down her cheek, pressing her lips into a smile. "I promise, to you, to love you even more through your bad days, and to always stay by your side even when you probably need some space. I promise to stick with my own definition of perfect, because you are that definition— every bit of you. I promise to love you, adore you, to be stupid with you, support you, and to love you when sometimes I feel like I could hate you. You’re my life, Joe— my everything, my best friend, my love. From lighter sides of our lives to the darkest, I promise to always keep you as my definition, and I promise to never give up, and to always be your puzzle piece," another happy tear streaming down her cheek.

Quickly, she glanced over to the priest, letting him know that her vows had been concluded. Her blue eyes landed back to Joe, one hand slowly slipped away as she was handed the wedding band, keeping it between her index finger and thumb, waiting for the queue. 

[josephhyfr]

The world seemed to stop as Anna began her vows.  Joseph's breath stalled in his chest as he listened, hanging on to every word.  They filled him with a warmth that he had long since associated with Anna, and only Anna.  They really did complete each other in every way, and Joe had never been more sure of that then he was in that moment, listening to Anna speak.  Her hands were still warm in his, and Joseph suddenly found extremely difficult not to break all tradition and lean forward to capture her lips with his.  Everything she said just rang so true, and he wanted nothing more than to show her how much they meant to him.  As it was, he try to convey all of the through his eyes, and the wide smile the was permanently fixed on his face.  He squeezed her hands gently again, wanted to communicate in some way that wasn't what the priest dictated.

Before he knew it, Joseph found himself holding the sparkling ring he'd given Anna, hands shaking as he held it up text to Anna's ring finger.  He repeated the words the priest directed him to, knowing full well he probably wouldn't remember anything beyond "With this ring I thee wed," and the part that came at the very end.  A brief vision of himself dropping the ring and losing it flashed through his head, but any nerves were drown out as he locked eyes with Anna.  In that moment, he knew that they didn't really need any of this, anyway.  He could drop the ring, it would just add to how very them this wedding was.  He could fumble the words, kiss her too early, but as long as they were married by the end of the day, as long as they enjoyed it all nonetheless, everything would still be perfect.

Joseph finally tuned in to what the priest was saying, slipping the ring onto Anna's finger with a shaking hand.  Cheering internally for not dropping it, Joseph flashed Anna a slightly goofy smile, happier than he ever had been in his entire life.  Repeating what the priest said was easy, like a script he'd been preparing for his whole life.  When it got to the end, those two words that meant so much, Joseph paused, smiling.  His voice was strong when he said them, eyes never leaving Anna's.  All of the love, all of himself was behind them. 

"Will you love, honor, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?"

Joseph smiled, holding tight to Anna's hands.  "I do."

[annakendrickgordonlevitt]

June 14th, she had not been able to fall asleep the night before. Every memory she had of him played through her mind as she slept in their bed, alone. He stayed over at his parent’s house— staying away from each other for the past twenty-four hours. The brunette stayed in their bedroom, her parents and brother were down the hall and in the living room. Tomorrow, everything would change, once again. It was terrifying, in the best possible way. From meeting him and befriending him on set, to being apart and then reunited, from their trips in between London and Paris…to falling in love, their first time, to their trip to Maine, her her heartbreak, to a month later when he came back to her, to friendship on top of that hill with the cherry italian sodas, to being back together, being engaged, becoming closer to each other’s families…it all led to this. Being in a serious committed relationship, to being someone’s fiancee and soon to be wife…to wanting a family— she never had thought that this would happen for her. It just simply wasn’t something she ever thought about. No cold feet, this was exactly what she wanted…what she needed— he was everything she needed…always. He was her best friend, soul-mate, definition of perfect…her puzzle piece. 

Then morning came— and the butterflies seemed to be never-ending. Step by step— food, shower, make-up, meet up with her friends, and family to go finish getting ready, not too far from where her and Joe were going to be wed. The majority of the day, Anna has stood in the center of the room as her mom, bridesmaids and maid of honor had finished her make-up, hair, and helped her into her dress, attaching her veil that fell perfectly over he lightly curled hair that fell to just above her shoulder blades. The whole day, it was like she had forgotten to breathe, and every moment she was reminded of it, because of how many times she was asked. The brunette looked at herself in the mirror— nothing but laughters and smiles as she and her girls had talked about the days that led to this day, and the future days that were yet to come. 

Her face was lightly brushed with neutral and pink undertone make-up, natural and beautiful— simple jewelry, only the puzzle piece necklace around her neck, her engagement ring, and diamond stud earrings. Anna let out a small smile as she was told it was almost time. “Thank you,’ she softly spoke, taking the small bundle of lightly colored flowers of purples and whites, handing her maid of honor the wedding band that was later on meant to be placed on her husband’s ring finger. The music had begin to play as couple by couple the bridesmaids and the groomsmen had left arm in arm, going down the aisle. Anna had slightly picked up her dress, stepping off of the step, taking one last look over in the mirror. “Okay, Anna…this is it,’ she softly spoke, reminding herself to breathe. “No more being scared.” There was no reason to be scared..not anymore. All that mattered to her was Joe, and she knew he was out there— waiting for her. The past didn’t matter anymore, the fact that he was standing out there, waiting for her was more than enough to make a statement of how far they had truly come. Maybe in the eyes of others…it had happened too fast, but time was limited, so time never made a different to Anna—  how that time was spent was always what mattered. Everything was perfect— because the man out there, waiting, was perfect for her. It was a small wedding party, set up on the side of his hill, their hill— his spot that he always came to when he needed to think— and this spot had slowly become their spot. 

Anna took a small step forward, her father’s arm holding hers, as the last couple had left to walk down the aisle. Suddenly, everything stood still. Her mind had become thoughtless, her heart was at its normal pace as the Wedding March had begun. Step by step, Anna stepped out of the building, at the end of the aisle, her head lifted up as a small small came across her face as people stood on their feet— but everyone was a blur. Her blue eyes went straight to him, the man with the slightly crooked light purple bowtie, standing under the arch. Her smile had become more happy, more natural with every step she took, making her way to him— the most safe she had felt. This was where she was meant to be, she knew that. She had always known that. Her and her father had stopped at the alter, she turned to her dad, lightly kissing him on the cheek before he very gently placed her hand into Joe’s. “Take care of her,” he softly spoke before he took a step back, leaving Anna with the one she knew who was the love of her life. A smile stayed across her lips as she looked to Joe, going up to stand before the priest. “Hi,” she softly spoke, smiling at Joe before they turned to stand face to face. The bouquet moved to one hand as Anna took a step close to Joe as she perfectly straightened his bowtie, her blue eyes locking up with with his brown ones before she took a small half of a step back, never taking her eyes off of him as the priest began the ceremony. 

[josephhyfr]

All breath left Joseph as Anna stepped onto the aisle.  She was stunning in her dress, the most beautiful person that he had ever seen.  At that moment, he knew more than anything that this was right.  She was right.  She was everything, and would always be everything.  The part of him that had been missing her since the moment they'd left each other the day before, following the wedding tradition of not seeing each other the night before, disappeared.  A feeling of a missing part of himself clicking back into place filled him as he met her eyes.  She was his puzzle piece, and she was walking towards him, walking towards the very spot where they would promise their lives to each other.  Anna could have walked down the aisle in a sack, and Joseph wouldn't have cared, as long as it was her.

"Hi." Joseph whispered back just as softly, a bright smile spreading across his face.  Any nerves that may have built up in the time he'd spent waiting for Anna faded away.  A small laugh escaped him as she straightened his bow tie, but his eyes never left hers.  Not from the moment she'd stepped onto the aisle.  He reached forward, taking her hands into his gently.  They felt better than he had imagined they would, and he gave them a small, comforting squeeze.  This moment felt more right than anything else in his life ever had.  Looking into Anna's beautiful blue eyes, he realized this was home.  She was his home, always and forever.

The priest standing next to them seemed to echo his thoughts.  His words about the sanctity of marriage, the promise to be together through everything, seemed more of a buzz in his ear.  He'd always thought he'd remember everything that was said in stark clarity, but in reality, he knew all he would remember when it was all said and done would be Anna.  It would be the way he couldn't look away, eyes drawn to hers like a magnet, pulled together by a force he would happily give in to.  The priest could be speaking Greek for all he knew, all he heard was the shuffle of their feet as they subtly changed positions, the gently way their hands moved together, the way Anna's eyes shined brightly back at him.  Everything was Anna, and Joseph was completely okay with that.

When it came time to say their vows, Joseph wasn't sure he could trust his voice to say them.  He held Anna's hands a little more firmly as he steeled himself.  "My first puzzle was a Tonka puzzle.  It was one of those block ones, simple, easy.  As I grew up, the puzzles got a little harder, more pieces, more thinking.  Sometimes, not all of the pieces fit together right, and I'd give up.  Eventually, I stopped doing the puzzles that you buy in a box, and started trying to solve the ones that presented themselves in my life.  Jobs, family, love...it was all a puzzle, every piece had a place, and I was always trying to find out which pieces went where.  I was happy with all of the pieces in my life, happy with where they went, but then I met you.  You're a puzzle piece I never expected to find, Anna.  But you fit so perfectly, you filled up every empty space.  You complete me, Anna Kendrick.  You're beautiful, smart, and perfect for me in every way.  You're my puzzle piece, and I love you more than anything, Anna Kendrick.  I promise I will love you forever.  I promise to share my heart with you.  Even when things get hard, even when some of the pieces to our puzzle fall out, or some things don't seem to fit quite right, I promise that we will work through them together.  We'll always work with each other to make everything right again.  You're my everything, my love, my puzzle piece, and I love you, Anna."

Joe's voice shook as he finished, eyes glassy as he tried to speak past the happy tears.  He meant every word.  With a small nod, his eyes flicked to the priest momentarily before locking once more with Anna's.  The priest continued, turning to Anna for her vows.

Je Fais || JoAnna

Saturday evening, June 14th 2014 found Joseph Gordon-Levitt standing underneath a small white arch, grass squished beneath his feet, and Los Angeles serving as a simple backdrop behind him.  He was wearing a fairly simple tuxedo, a bow tie fixed slightly crooked beneath his chin, and he stood ramrod straight, one foot tapping nervously beneath him.  It wasn't a particularly warm day, but it was humid, and the suit was a little stifling.  Looking at him, though, anyone would be able to tell that none of it mattered.  Not the weather, not the suit, not even really the people gathered in the crowd in front of him.  His eyes were fixed on the end of the aisle.  They had been since the moment he'd moved up to the front.  Standing up underneath that arch, Joe looked for all the world like a man ready to give his life wholly and completely to another person.

The day had passed mostly in a blur for the actor.  He vaguely remembered his mom coming into his hotel room, smiling warmly as she slid the material of the bow tie around his neck.  She'd tied it slowly and carefully, adjusting it until it was perfectly straight.  He remembered how she'd gently folded his collar down around it, and stood on her tip-toes, pulling him down just enough so that she could kiss his forehead.  Just about the only thing he remembered clearly about the entire day so far was her quiet "I'm proud of you, son."  Everything else had seemingly fallen into place around him.  The combination of his family and friends, as well as Anna's family and friends had made for a formidable force of wedding planner extraordinaires, and setting everything up hadn't been something that either of them had to deal with.  The day was there's, stress free.  Perfect.

Everything was set to be perfect, but really, Joe didn't care so much about how the flowers were arranged, or what way the arch faced.  He didn't care if his bow tie was perfectly straight, or if everyone in their small congregation sat in the appropriate seats.  All Joe cared about was Anna.  He cared about whether or not she had fun with her bridesmaids doing all of the pre-wedding dress-up.  He cared about her trip down the aisle, about how her hands would feel in his as they said their vows.  He wanted that perfect smile that he loved and adored so much to never leave her face, through not only the ceremony, but through the entire night.  Anna was what mattered, was all that would ever matter.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt wanted to be nowhere else in that moment than right where he was, eyes trained to where Anna would soon be walking.  He saw nothing else.  He missed his mom trying to gesture at him to fix his now crooked bow tie.  He didn't hear a word his groomsmen were quietly speaking as they waited for the music to play.  Anything could have happened from the moment he stood up at the front of the aisle until Anna appeared, Joe would've never known.  Soon, they would be married.  Soon, they'd make a promise to each other, the promise of forever, and Joe could not wait.  So his bow remained crooked, his toe still tapped quietly, and his eyes never once stopped looking for Anna.

[josephhyfr]

tomorrow.

Tomorrow, ma cherie.

[annakendrickgordonlevitt]

Hm, you do have to work on keeping me— but not that hard..you keep saying things like that and you continue to let me sleep on your chest and you give me Taco Bell…you pretty much have me for life. Well, of course it’s a good point…I made it.

[josephhyfr]

Alright, one lifetime of bean burritos coming right up!  It's a good thing I like all the same things you like.  Your head on my chest is my favorite thing to fall asleep, and wake up to.  Of course, I should never, ever doubt you.

[annakendrickgordonlevitt]

Aww, you know you don’t have to like say those things or lie anymore, you already have me. Hey, if we make fools of ourselves, that’s just bringing more of us to our wedding.

[josephhyfr]

I'll always tell you things like that, always, and they'll never be lies.  I have to work on keeping you, you know?  That...is a really good point, Anna.

[annakendrickgordonlevitt]

Well, I will be happy as well…so excuse the sobbing mess which will be your bride. It is perfect, and of course it’s us! There is no perfect time than our wedding to show a bit of us in it.

[josephhyfr]

You'll be beautiful no matter what, even as a sobbing mess.  I'll probably just sob with you, anyway.  We'll be up there making fools of ourselves, but I won't care.  I would hope our wedding would be us!  It's ours, after all.

Extensive research. So much stalking. The Internet is a scary place.

The world is a scary place.  The internet is just all of that crazy condensed into one area.

Really, I mean with fan sites, fan twitters, fan blogs - that’s a lot of dedication.

Fan sites are a little terrifying.  They know so much.  How do they know so much?
