——————————————————
You were driving back to the flat that you shared with your boyfriend, Joel. You had been together for 3 years when he asked you to move in with him, and since then you two had an agreement that you would switch between who would buy groceries each week. You had just reached the flat, when you rang Joel to help you bring the groceries up, but when there was no reply you knew he was probably just filming a video. You sighed lugging all of the grocery bags up to the flat.
“Babe, I’m home,” you said as you brought all the bags into the kitchen and started to put the items where they all belonged.
You were almost done putting all the groceries back in place, when you felt a pair of arms snake around your waist.
“Thanks for taking care of the groceries. I saw you called, sorry I couldn’t pick up. We were in the middle of recording.”
“S’fine,” you said brushing him off as he tried to lay his head on your shoulder.
“Are you mad?” he asked you as he took a step back.
You sighed saying, “no I’m not mad babe, it’s just hard sometimes because you’re always so busy but I get it, I really do.”
“I have to go back to recording, but this conversation isn’t over,” he said as he kissed your forehead.
“Go do your thing, I’ll be in here.”
“Hey, I love you,” he said turning back as he headed out the kitchen.
“Love you too.”
You spent the rest of the night quietly playing music as you cleaned and organized the flat. When you were done, you looked into the room you shared to see that Joel had headphones plugged in, and was undoubtedly editing his next video. You quickly brushed your teeth and took off your make up for the day, as you started getting ready for bed. Reaching into your pajama drawer, which if you were being honest consisted mostly of Joel’s shirts; you grabbed one and pulled it over your head before heading back to Joel.
“You heading to bed anytime soon?” you asked as you settled into the bed and asked Joel from across the room.
“Uh yeah I just need to finish editing this clip, but that’ll only take me 5 minutes or so,” he said looking up towards you.
You nodded, as you grabbed your phone to scroll through for the time being. Joel quickly finished, and headed to the bathroom, before jumping into the bed next to you.
“Y/N,” he said.
“Hm?”
“Pay attention to me please,” he said as he placed his hand in front of your phone screen.
“Sorry I was reading something,” you said as you looked away from the screen, shutting off your phone.
“Are you still mad at me about earlier?”
“I was never mad at you to begin with. It's just the way you live your life can be frustrating. But I get it I really do.”
“I feel bad that you have to put up with my bullshit schedule. Let's go on a date, I can't I'm recording. Can you help me with groceries, sorry no can do I'm in the middle of recording. I'm just so tired of not being there for you.”
“Joel. Babe, I don't mind that you're not always there. You're doing what you love, you're making your fans happy. I can't ask more from you.”
“But what happens in the future? I don't want to be the husband that's never there. I don't want to be an absent dad."
You were in shock. Sure the future has been mentioned between you and Joel but neither of you had outright said anything. You had always assumed the future due to the fact you lived together but you had never had a discussion about it.
"Babe? You okay?" He asked breaking you away from your thoughts and shock.
"Oh. Uh yeah I'm fine I'm just in shock I guess," you told him.
"about what?"
"Well i don't know we haven't exactly talked about the future properly before and you saying that stuff out loud it just surprised me a bit," you said tucking a piece of hair behind your ear.
"You're surprised I see my future with you? You shouldn't be Y/N. We've been together for almost 5 years, do you not think the same?"
"No no no. Of course I see my future with you," you said looking to him.
"Okay you scared me there because the only way I see my future is with you. I plan on marrying you. I plan on having little Joels and little Y/Ns. I plan on having a more proper home. I plan on seeing you as you get old and you the same with me. I plan on spending the rest of my life with you."
You looked at him with admiration. The feelings you had in that moment were indescribable.
"I plan on seeing you at the end of the aisle. I plan on seeing you in the hospital room. I plan on cleaning the house with you. I plan on experiencing the absolute rest of my life with you."
