Birthday Boy. -Joe Sugg Imagine.
‘Hey Y/N! Are you still coming later this evening? I’m so excited to see you! I can’t wait to give you a massive squeeze! Xx' You laughed quietly to yourself as you read over the text from your best childhood friend Zoë.
'Hey Zo! Well yes of course I’m still going to yours later tonight! I can’t miss such an important evening! I’ve missed you more Zo! :( Super excited to give you a major squeeze too! See you in a couple of hours xxx' You replied quickly.
Grinning to yourself, you removed yourself from the comfort of your mattress, walking over to your doorway.
“Hey mum!” You called out, smiling slightly as she peeked her head out from the bathroom, holding the full, red basket of laundry. “You know that I’m going to see the Suggs later tonight, right?” You asked, watching a small smile appear on your mums lips as she nodded.
“How could I forget? It’s all you’ve been talking about!” Your mum laughed, her eyes rolling playfully at you, causing you to stick out your tongue.
It was true though. You really haven’t stopped talking about it. Tonight was a really big deal for you. Your two best childhood friends were returning home to your small town village for the first time in quite a while. The last time you saw Zoë and Joe Sugg, was for a brief moment when they were sliding into their cars to drive off to a surprise party for their mothers birthday, which was almost nearing two years ago.
Of course, there was no bad blood between the three of you. It was understandable that they had a difficult time visiting their hometown. The siblings live a very busy scheduled life style. Their YouTube channels were a huge success causing their careers to sky rocket and land themselves a large fan base each. With the sudden and huge success in their careers, it’s brought so many opportunities to each of them, such as book deals, book tours, wax figures, beauty product deals and DVD deals. You’ve lost count of how many amazing opportunities have been given to them. You really couldn’t be any prouder of the two Sugg siblings.
“You better get ready, darling. It’s almost five o'clock! You’re meant to be at the Suggs house in an hour and a half! You don’t want to let that Sugg boy down!” Your mum sang, your eyes rolling playfully at her words, a subtle blush colouring your cheeks.
“I’m going, I’m going!” You laughed, walking back into your room, preparing yourself for a quick shower.
As you grabbed a couple of fluffy towels, you felt your heart flutter at your thoughts about later tonight. Tonight would be the first time you’ll have seen Joe in over two years. To make the night even more special and a little nerve wrecking, was the fact that tonight was Joe’s twenty fifth birthday, and he asked Zoë to invite you around tonight. The last time you saw Joe in person, was the night that he was leaving to move to London.
It was also the night that you failed to tell him about your long time love for him.
The nerves in your stomach were floating around with the butterflies in your stomach, as thoughts about Joe manoeuvred their way around your head.
Would anything have changed about him?
Would he even want to talk to you?
Did Joe just ask Zoë to invite you because you’re an old friend?
What if he’s changed? You can’t just change him back.
Walking into the bathroom, you shook your head at all of your thoughts, only allowing yourself to think of one thing.
'Just don’t forget the present.’
“Don’t wait up for me mum, I’ve got my keys and my phone, so I’ll see you later!” You called out into the living room, keeping Joe’s birthday present tight in your hands while walking out of the house.
Puffing out a breath, you glanced down at your outfit. You decided to wear your new powder blue dress. Running your fingers along the white lace material around your waist, you bit down on your lip, wondering if you dressed yourself up too much for a garden party.
Closing your eyes, you breathed in a deep, calming breath, stepping away from your house and beginning to walk confidently down the sidewalk, making the all too familiar five minute journey towards the Suggs family home.
As you walked down the pavement, listening to your heeled sandals click against the ground, you couldn’t help but grin seeing birthday banners strung on the front door of the thatched house. You could feel the palms of your hands grow clammy with nerves, the closer you got to the door.
Relaxing your shoulders and straightening your posture, you did one last make up check with your phone, before confidently pressing the doorbell. The sound of your heavy beating heart was now thumping in your ears, watching the wooden door creak open, revealing to you a petite girl with bright blue eyes.
“Y/N!” Zoë squealed, the two of you wrapping one another into a crushing hug.
“Oh my gosh, I’ve missed you so much!” Zoë gasped, keeping you locked in her arms as she hugged you tighter. “It’s been far too long! I’m so annoyed that I haven’t been able to come and see you more often! Oh come in, come in!” Zoë beamed, closing the door and leading you both into the house.
“You look gorgeous! I absolutely love your dress! Where did you buy it?” Zoë gasped, making you twirl around for you causing you dress to fan out. You blushed at her words and shyly adjusted your hair.
“I bought it in this new boutique down in the village! Maybe if you’re staying for the weekend, we can pop down to it? If anyone looks gorgeous, it is most definitely you! I really love what you’ve done with your hair!” You grinned, motioning to Zoë’s shoulder length hair that was curled to perfection.
“It’s quite a big change since we last saw one another!” She grinned, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.
Following Zoë into the kitchen, you were greeted by the scent of barbecued food. The sound of Zayn Malik’s song 'Pillowtalk’, streaming through speakers set up in the garden. The sound of small talk and laughter blending in with the music.
“Here, take a glass of champagne!” Zoë giggled, taking two glass flutes of bubbling champagne, handing one over to you. “Mum and Dad are out in the garden! Come on, I know that Joe is super excited to see you!” She grinned, leading you out to the back garden.
“Guess who’s here!” Zoë called out over the chit chatting, her hand motioning to you. “It’s Y/N!” She smiled excitedly. You could feel your cheeks grow hot as you looked towards Zoë’s family all gathered around a wooden garden table. Champagne being held in everyone’s hand. “Y/N, I’m really hoping that you remember my mum and dad!” Zoë giggled, walking you over to the table.
“Well of course! How can I forget my neighbours that I see almost every day?” You laughed looking over to Zoë’s eyes, realisation crossing over her face. Out of the three of you, you were the only one to stay at home. You were very much a home bird, and you really enjoyed living in a nice and private area of the country, so you haven’t made the big decision like Joe and Zoë, to move away from home.
“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Sugg.” You grinned, waving your hand timidly at the two gleaming parents who were now greeting you with welcoming, bright smiles.
“Oh darling, you know our names! Don’t be afraid to ware them out!” Zoë’s mum laughed as Zoë cringed at her words.
“Mum, that was totally not cool.” She whined, her hand covering her face.
“What’s not cool?” You could feel your breath instantly catch in your throat as the all too familiar voice rang in your ears. Turning your body around, you were greeted instantly with a striking pair of blue eyes, a chuckle leaving his lips as Zoë explained the cringe situation.
“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Ms. L/N!” Joe announced, a broad smile crossing his features. You could feel your stomach do back flips as he stepped closer towards your body. Your heart was now beating radically fast at his actions.
“It’s so great to see you, Y/N! I’m so glad that you could come and see us..” He grinned, his arms extending out towards you, pulling you into a warm embrace. Wrapping your arms around his frame, you couldn’t help but inhale the scent of his cologne. It was always one of your favourite things to do when you were growing up with one another, due to the fact that Joe always bought the most amazing and most lovely scented aftershaves.
As much as you didn’t want to, you drew back from the comforting hug, immediately taking in Joe’s appearance. Adulthood was treating Joe immensely well. Joe was sporting a pair of back, ripped skinny jeans and a fresh white shirt while his hair was styled in a neat yet messy quiff.
“I’m really glad to be here! It’s so lovely to see you both! Especially after all of these years..” You smiled, looking up into his eyes softly. “You look great!” You grinned, motioning to his clean cut appearance. “I love the new hair!” You continued, biting down on your lip feeling your cheeks begin to burn. You watched Joe’s smile grow wider, his hand running through his hair.
“I think it’s a lot cooler than it used to be. I can’t believe mum used to let me straighten my hair everyday. The worst part is, she actually allowed me to go out dressed like that! Joe laughed, his hand scratching the back of his neck sheepishly as you bubbled up with laughter at the memory, remembering the days when Joe would spend hours in the bathroom just straightening his hair with Zoë’s expensive hair straighteners.
"Zoë! Joe! Don’t make the poor girl stand! Sit her down!” Daddy Sugg tsked, flipping over one of the burgers on the barbecue.
“Y/N is sitting with me!” Zoë squealed, rushing over to the garden table to grab you a chair next to hers. “We have so much girly stuff to catch up about! Come over to me Y/N” She beamed giddily.
“Oi! I’m the birthday boy so she’s sitting with me!” Joe pouted, immediately flashing you sad puppy dog eyes. “Please Y/N, it’s my birthday, you can’t not sit with me..” Joe whined softly. Biting down on your lip, you attempted to bite back the grin that was now trying to break free.
“You know I can’t say no to the puppy eyes..” You cried out, earning a triumphant cheer from Joe and a disappointed cry from Zoë.
“Also, Happy birthday, birthday boy!” You grinned sheepishly, holding out the wrapped present towards him as he brought you over towards the garden table.
“Y/N..” Joe gasped. “You shouldn’t have got me anything! Your gift to me was turning up!” Joe chuckled, his arms wrapping around you, tugging you into his chest for a hug. Laughing quietly at his words, you hugged him softly, smiling against his chest.
“It’s nothing too fancy, it’s just something small..” You smiled shyly, thanking Joe as he held out your chair for you to sit down.
“Oooh, what did you get Joseph?” Zoë asked, a look of curiosity crossing her features.
You watched as a Joe excitedly unwrapped the colourful wrapping paper, two gifts falling into his lap. Your heart beat increasing as his hands grabbed hold of the gifts.
“Oh my god, Y/N, love..” Joe whispered, his eyes wide with surprise as his fingers grabbed hold of the DVD box.
“It’s the exact Lee Evans DVD we would watch after doing our homework. I remember how devastated you were when you lost it..and now you can watch it whenever you’d like..” You grinned, shyly playing with the material of your dress. You smiled brightly watching Joe read the back of the DVD box, in hopes that he really did like the present. You were rather nervous about giving Joe a birthday gift, due to the fact that you couldn’t buy him a really extravagant gift, due to your small paying job. Suddenly you felt your heart leap as Joe revealed the silver framed photo of you and him on your first day of school.
“Oh my..” Joe grinned, a chuckle leaving his lips as his fingers danced along the silver frame, the sound of Zoë and her mum cooing in the back making you blush.
“I’m sorry that it’s nothing exquisite or huge..but I just thought that you might like it..It brings back old memories, doesn’t it?” You grinned shyly, sipping on the cool glass of champagne to settle your bouncing nerves. Looking down to the photo, you grinned at the miniature you and Joe, hugging one another tightly with neatly combed hair and red backpacks resting on your back.
“Y/N, I absolutely love it!” Joe grinned, his eyes glazing with happiness. “You really shouldn’t have! Thank you so much!” Joe gleamed, his arms wrapping around your shoulders and hugging you tightly. You could feel your cheeks blush as Joe whispered his thanks to you, sending you a wink as he pulled back.
“You two were really dressed like two cool kids!” Zoë’s mum grinned causing Joe to chuckle.
“Well of course we were! Y/N and I were the coolest kids in this village!” Joe smirked, sipping on his champagne, a laugh leaving your lips at his words. “I mean, have you seen those backpacks of ours? Everyone was totally jealous.” He chuckled, glancing down to your eyes, his hand placing itself on your knee.
“Thank you Y/N. I really love that photo and I’m definitely going to treasure it for the rest of my life. I know exactly where I’m going to put it in the house too.” Joe grinned, looking into your eyes softly making your heart flutter,
“Alright then, who’s up for food?” Mr. Sugg grinned, looking between all of you on the table.
“Guys, I’m going to bed..I can’t believe we’ve stayed up all night chit chatting! My eyes can’t stay open any longer!” Zoë laughed through mid-yawn.
“Awe Zoë, the party is only starting!” You giggled, hiccuping through your words, holding your glass flute of champagne that was now half full.
“I’m sorry Your/Nickname. I’m struggling to stay awake, but I’ll text you in the morning, yeah? We can go down to the town and do some shopping..” Zoë giggled, hugging you gently as you nodded happily to her words, watching her walk away into the house.
“So, Y/N, now it’s just the two of us..You’re not going to leave me, are you?” Joe asked you, his body leaning towards yours.
“Well, it’s pretty much five in the morning..M-Maybe I should start heading home..” You sighed, mirroring Joe’s pouty face and slowly standing to your feet, giggling as you almost tripped over the legs on the garden chair.
Tonight was really fantastic. You really couldn’t have asked for a better night. It was just yourself, Zoë and Joe hanging out for the entire night. You ate home made burgers and dived into a delicious birthday cake, while sipping on wine and champagne, causing you to now be in a slightly drunk state. You reminisced on the golden olden days of your childhood, and you talked about how amazing their careers are, discussing all of their amazing achievements and awards. You talked about all of the pranks that Joe would pull on the headmaster at school and the pranks he pulled on his mum and dad.
“I’ll walk you home..” Joe grinned, slurring his words ever so slightly while standing to his own two feet, wobbling ever so slightly as he did so. “I’ll protect you from the bad guys..” He smirked causing you to laugh.
“Who are you going to protect me from? Gangster grandad? Our neighbours are mostly eldelry!” You giggled, listening to Joe chuckle at your words. “But I would very much enjoy your protection while walking home.” You smiled, following Joe’s lead out to the garden gate.
“It’s rather chilly, isn’t it? Here..” Joe whispered, his fingers wrapping his black leather jacket around your shoulders, pulling it closely around you. “This looks so much better on you..” Joe grinned causing your cheeks to glow bright pink at his words, your heart fluttering at his words and his gesture.
“You’re being too kind now..” You smiled shyly, thanking Joe for lending you his leather jacket.
As you walked out onto the pavement, you looking up to the sky, watching the sky turn from black to a soft blue with a mixture of red and orange. The night stars were still glowing ever so slightly with a mixture of a few grey clouds. .
“Why haven’t you moved from home? Chased your dreams..” Joe questioned, his eyebrows furrowing together while his blue eyes eyes gazed down to yours. A quiet sigh left your lips at his words. Your brain was telling you not to explain your reasons, yet the alcohol that was overpowering your blood stream and taking control of your mind told you to let if all out.
“As much as I would love to just chase my dreams..I’ve got my family here..I know my routine around here and I know my place..Moving away from it all..I’d be so lost..scared..” You breathed, taking in a quick breath to calm your fast beating heart as you looked up to Joe’s eyes, seeing him gaze at you intensely.
“Of course it’s scary to chase your dreams..that’s when you know that your dream is big enough..You only get one life Y/N and it isn’t a rehearsal..This is it..You get one shot..One shot to make it happen..If you really want to make your dream work, you need to get out there and chase it with full speed..” Joe spoke, his body stopping you from walking further, his fingers immediately looping with yours making your heart skip a couple of beats.
“I was scared you know? I was scared to move away from my family and my home town and my routine..but now I’m living my absolute dream and I’m doing the things I love, making new friends and making new memories, I’m open to so many opportunities..You just need to the courage and the motivational push to do it..” Joe smiled, his hand squeezing yours lightly. As you listened to his words, you couldn’t help the smile that was growing on your lips at Joe’s motivational words.
“Do you always give this advice to people at five a.m.?” You whispered, smiling up to Joe noticing how much closer you are to him, both of your chests pressing together.
“I only give it to the special people in my life..” He grinned, his hand now lightly grazing your cheek and tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear.
“What do you want to do Y/N? What is one thing that you you want to do in this life?” Joe asked you, his free hand now resting on your hip making your breath catch.
“Honestly?” You breathed, watching Joe nod with a small grin. “You know how everyone wants to be kissed in the rain, underneath the stars?” You asked quietly, seeing Joe nod his head once more. “Well, I want to be kissed in the rain during the sunrise..Because how often does it rain during sunrise, hm?” You smiled, laughing quietly at your words feeling your mind begin to drift to the perfect moment you so desperately want to have.
“I think your dream is about to come true..” Joe smirked.
Suddenly, as if it were a scene from a Disney movie. Joe’s lips pressed against yours making your body tingle. Fireworks exploded behind your closed eyes as your heart fluttered rapidly like a newborn butterfly. You could feel your blood racing through your veins with excitement as your lips moulded together with Joe’s, sharing a passionate and needing kiss, something you’ve been dying to do since you were a teenager. Suddenly, you felt some wet drops hit against the top of your head, causing you to softly draw back from Joe’s lips and look up to the sky, watching the sun start to rise as a sun shower began to start wildly.
“You can’t deny that this isn’t just pure luck, this is meant to be Y/N. I love you Y/N..and I’ve wasted all these days, all of these years holding this secret to myself..but. I love you Y/N..I want to love you the way I loved you when we were eighteen..” Joe grinned, caressing your cheek in his large hand causing tears of excitement, relief and happiness to trickle down your cheeks and blend in with the rain falling down.
“I love you Joe..I’ve loved you since we were eighteen..Theres never been a day that’s gone by that I don’t love you. I love you with all of my heart, all of my soul, and everything that I have.” You beamed, brushing Joe’s wet hair to the side before squealing loudly as Joe grabbed hold of your waist and twirled you around.
There was nothing more perfect than that moment Y/N and Joe shared. Y/N ticked off her number one box on her bucket list, and as for Joe, he couldn’t have received a better birthday present, than finally getting the girl that he’s never stopped loving for as long as he can remember.
How are you all?
I really hope that all of you are feeling good.
