September 29, 2022

Macee-Hey girl! I'll pick you up in about an fifteen. Sound good?

You-Yes! I'll see you in a bit :)

Macee liked a message.

You put your phone down on your dresser, rummaging through the bottom drawer where you kept all of your pants. You were looking for your favorite pair of mom jeans that you wear almost every time you go out.

Today, well, tonight, you are going to your first ever Cincinnati Bengals game.

Macee invited you to go to the game with her. You started working at Cincy Styles two days ago. You and Macee have become quite good friends already. It's good to have someone like her around. You went out to lunch with Macee during your lunch break on your first day and that's when she let you know she's engaged to Logan Wilson, linebacker for the Bengals and one of Joe's teammates that you’ve already met. Well, met briefly. You didn't get to have a full conversation with him. You have a feeling that you will someday though since you are friends with Macee and living in the same apartment as one of his best friends.

So since the Bengals have a home game tonight, Macee thought it would be a fun night for the both of you if you attended—especially since you have never been to a game before.

You found the pants you were searching for, pulling them out and placing them on the ground while you got the rest of your outfit ready. Aiming for something cute and comfortable, you decided you were going to wear the vintage Bengals sweatshirt that Macee gave you, along with your light wash mom jeans and white Nike AirMax's.

Once you had your outfit picked out, you headed to the bathroom to go ready.

After getting dressed and freshened up, you were straightening your hair when Joe walked past the bathroom, stopping in his tracks when he saw your outfit. He stepped into the bathroom, curiously eyeing you through the mirror. You took the styling tool away from your hair and looked at him, raising an eyebrow.

"Hi?"

He pointed at you, “You're wearing a Bengals sweatshirt."

You hummed, pulling more pieces of hair out to straighten, “Oh really? I didn't notice."

Joe rolled his eyes, adjusting the sleeves to his floral suit. You couldn't help but examine his outfit choice for tonight's game against the Miami Dolphins. He wore a black suit that had large white roses all over.

Now, you hate to admit it, but...

Joe looks hot as hell in that suit.

You have to admit, you and Joe may not be too fond of each other, but you’d be lying if you said he wasn't fine as hell.

"You didn't tell me you're going to the game tonight?"

You shrugged, "Didn't think you'd care."

"I'm not that much of a dick, Y/n.”

You unplugged the flat iron and looked at Joe through the mirror. His baby blue eyes shining as he looked back at you. You could feel the slightest hint of a blush rise to your cheeks as he looked at you.

"Well," you said, "I didn't want to boost that ego of yours. Make you think I'm going only to watch you play."

He let out a short laugh, "You really think I'd think you're only going to watch me?"

"Maybe," you shrugged.

"Whatever. Well I gotta go, have fun watching me from the stands tonight. I know those pretty Y/e/c eyes are only going to stay on me, sweets." He teased with a smirk.

You looked up at him with an unamused look, which made him chuckle.

"Good luck." you said, giving him a small smile.

"Thanks. Have fun."

You smiled, "I will."

He walked out of the bathroom, heading over to the door and sliding his shoes on. You heard the jingle of his keys, signaling he was getting ready to leave. You heard the door open, but never close.

"Hey Y/n!" Joe called.

"Yeah?!" you shouted back.

"Every time I throw a touchdown tonight. don't forget to chant Who Dey with the crowd. I have a feeling you'll be doing it a lot."

You didn't even have to see his face, you could hear the cockiness in his tone.

"Oh don't worry, I won't forget!" you remarked.

He was about to leave when you called out to him.

"Oh and Joe," you stepped out of the bathroom and out into the living room so he could see the teasing smirk on my face, "make sure to tell Ja'Marr I'm in the stands."

He rolled his eyes.

"Thanks." you grinned cheekily, walking back into the bathroom to finish getting ready.

About 45 minutes later, Macee pulled up to the complex and texted you to let you know she was outside. You told her to wait outside for you since you still haven't told her that you live with Joe. You know you have to tell her at some point, you’re just not sure when, exactly.

"Hey Y/n.” Macee smiled as you sat down on the passenger seat.

"Hey girl," you grinned as you buckled your seatbelt, "how are you?"

"Great! I'm super excited for this game."

You nodded, "Me too. I've never been to an NFL game before."

She pulled out of the complex and started the drive to Paycor Stadium, which was about a 25 minute drive from yours and Joes apartment. With game day traffic though, it would probably be much longer.

"They're so much fun, especially if you have good seats! Which," she took a hand off the wheel and rummaged through her purse. She pulled out two tickets, "I got for us, well, Logan got for us.”

You took the tickets from her hand, examining them. Your seats were two rows up behind the Bengals sideline. The two of you would have a great view of the game and the players.

"This is awesome," you smiled, putting the tickets back in her purse, "thank you for inviting me."

"Of course, I wouldn't want you to miss out on this. We're going to have a blast."

You nodded in agreement. Even though you’ve never been to a game, you know it's going to be such a fun experience. You couldn't wait to get to the stadium and get this night started.

~time skip brought to you by joe burrow being literally the HOTTEST man to walk this earth~

You and Macee got to your seats, sitting next to two other girls. The brunette was wearing a Burrow jersey and the red head was wearing a sweatshirt that read "I ❤️ Joe Burrow". You couldn't help the small smile that appeared on your face as you heard the girls gush about how excited they were to see Joe in person.

You were about to say something to Macee when the bright stadium dimmed and an orange hue took over, making the full crowd in the stadium look orange. The Bengals cheerleaders made a tunnel by the tunnel the players would run out of, signaling that the player and team introductions would be starting. The orange lights started to switch between orange, black, and white. The Jumbotron started to play the pre-game hype video they play at every home game. The crowd started to cheer as the Bengals players began to line up at the tunnel, getting ready to run onto the field.

"Bengals fans, please welcome head coach Zac Taylor and the Cincinnati Bengals!"

The crowd went wild as the coaches and players ran out of the tunnel and onto the field. Orange fireworks were set off on each end zone, adding to the intensity of the atmosphere. You and Macee cheered right along with the crowd.

You were already loving this and the game hadn't even started yet!

The cheers died down a bit and the announcers voice boomed through Paycor.

"Here are our defensive starters!"

"Oh here we go," Macee said as she gently grabbed onto your bicep.

"At linebacker, from Wyoming, number 55, Logan Wilson!"

The crowd went crazy, cheering and yelling for Logan. Macee was ecstatic when her fiancés name was called.

"YEAH!!!" she hollered, "LOGAN!!!"

"Wooooo!!" you cheered, throwing your hands up in the air. Macee turned to you, smiling widely.

"Isn't this awesome?" she asked.

You nodded, "The atmosphere of this stadium is amazing."

The rest of the defensive starters were introduced, the fans screaming and cheering as each players name was called. The offense had already been on the field, being the group that ran out with Zac Taylor and the other coaches. After all the players names were announced, more fireworks went off on each end zone and the crowd roared with excitement.

Once all the pre-game stuff was over, the game had finally started.

The Bengals were playing the Miami Dolphins, who were currently sitting undefeated at 3-0. It should be a good game.

Miami's offense took the field first, meaning the Bengals offense was on the sideline. You examined the sideline, trying to see if you could find any familiar names or faces.

"There he is!" The brunette next to you squealed, pointing at a player.

The red head practically moaned, "Oh my fuck. He's so much hotter in person."

You looked at who the brunette was pointing at, immediately seeing Joe, who was holding the collar of his white jersey as he laughed with Ja'marr and Tee.

The girl with red hair turned to you, “Isn't he so much hotter in person?"

You looked away from Joe, seeing the girls looking at you expectantly.

"Uh," you hesitated, unsure of what to say, "sure?"

"I'm taking that as a yes." the brunette giggled as she took a swig of her beer.

You turned your attention back to the game. The Dolphins had drove down the field far enough to make a field goal. After the field goal was made, the Bengals offense took the field in their all white uniforms.

"I didn't know they had all white uniforms?"

Macee nodded as she looked at Logan, who was sitting directly in front of us on the bench.

"They've always had the white uniforms, but they're trying out the white helmets for the first time."

"It looks really cool."

Macee nodded, "It does. The guys were really excited to wear these."

You looked out onto the field just in time to see Joe throw a pass to Ja'marr, who was wide open. He ran about ten yards, bringing them to the Dolphins 30 yard line. Joe snapped the ball, dropping back to throw a short pass to Tee Higgins for a gain of four. It was now second down, the Bengals opting to run the ball this time. They were successful, getting the first down and more, as Joe Mixon was just short of the end zone. The clock started and Joe snapped the ball, handing it off to Joe Mixon, who ran it in for a touchdown.

The crowd went wild as the Bengals scored. It soon broke out into the chant Joe was telling you about. It was the first time you had ever heard it, so you didn't join in.

"Who dey, who dey, who dey think gonna beat dem Bengals?"

"Nobody!"

Macee yelled the words, cheering afterwards.

"Did you know it?" She asked after finishing the chant.

You shook your head, "No, that's the first time I've ever heard it," you said, letting out a laugh.

Macee smiled, "Well that's okay, you can join in on the next touchdown."

You nodded, "Definitely."

You knew by the end of this game that you would be a pro at the crowd chant.

The first quarter came to an end fairly quickly. Not much happened in the beginning of the second quarter. Both teams had quickly went three and out with their first possessions of the quarter. However the game picked up in the second half of the quarter. The Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered a scary concussion with about seven minutes left of the quarter. He was carted off the field and out of the game.

Prayers for Tua.

After Tua was carted off, the Dolphins scored another field goal, making the score 6-7. The Bengals started their drive pretty slow, but with nearly three minutes left Joe threw a 59 yard touchdown pass to Tee Higgins.

"You're joining in on this one Y/n.” Macee said as the two of you watched Evan McPherson kick the extra point. As soon as the kick was good, the crowd started chanting.

You and Macee looked at eachother, wide grins on your faces as you chanted: “Who Dey" along with the rest of the crowd.

You wooed loudly as the offense ran back to the sidelines. As the offense came back and the defense got ready to go out on the field, Logan stood from the bench and grabbed his helmet. He turned around and looked into the stands, quickly finding Macee. He waved at her, which she waved back and blew him a kiss. He smiled widely at her before putting his helmet on and going onto the field. You couldn't help but smile at the two.

They're such a sweet couple.

Macee watched Logan jog onto the field, then she turned to you.

"I could use a drink and a pretzel. What about you?"

You hadn't eaten anything since lunch today, plus a hard seltzer sounds really good.

You chuckled, "Sounds good to me."

She nodded, "Awesome, let's go get one before the lines get too crazy at halftime."

Macee led the way out of the stands and into the area with concessions and bathrooms. You guys found a spot that was selling soft pretzels, hot dogs, and an assortment of alcoholic beverages. Thankfully, the lines weren't too long, but if you had to miss halftime it would be just fine. You got in line behind two guys, one was wearing a Sam Hubbard jersey and the other wearing a Ja'marr Chase jersey. It was nice to see the fans wearing jerseys of different players and not just Joe. Some teams, the fans only wear one players jersey to games. *Cough* Tampa Bay *cough*

You don't need to elaborate, everyone already knows exactly what player you’re referring to.

As you waited in line, a short, brunette woman approached the two of you with a wide smile.

"Hey Macee!"

Macee turned around, smiling as she saw the woman.

"Hey Em!"

The two hugged. Macee pulled away and gushed as she looked at the woman, who you found out is named Em.

"Oh my gosh, you're glowing. Look at your cute bump!"

Em turned to the side, flattening her jersey and holding her belly. She smiled widely, "I know. Baby girl Hubbard is really making an appearance."

Macee smiled, "Yes she is."

Em's smile turned to a look of confusion, "I didn't see you up in the suite?

Macee nodded, "I'm down in the stands today. Logan got tickets for us."

"Us?"

Macee smiled, "Emma, this is Y/n.” she gestured to you, “Y/n just moved to Cincinnati a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd bring her to a game with me."

You smiled, holding out my right hand for Emma to shake, "Hi, I'm Y/n.”

"It's nice to meet you, I'm Emma, Sam Hubbards wife."

Joe is very good friends with Sam, so you’re sure you’ll be seeing the two of them at the apartment someday.

The line started to move, the three of you moving up. Emma spoke up, "You guys are more than welcome to come up to the suite with the other wives and I.”

Macee smiled, "It's okay, I'm enjoying the view from the stands. It's nice to be with the fans, too. Thank you though."

You nodded, "Yeah, thank you very much."

Emma smiled, "Of course. Maybe the next game I'll see you two up there. I know a few guys on the team that could use a girlfriend." She said, winking at you.

"Wouldn't she be so cute with Joe?"

You felt your heart drop at the mention of Joes name.

Emma nodded, "Joe or Evan."

Macee gasped, "Oh, Evan is so sweet. He'd love Y/n.”

"Isn't he? I think they'd look good together."

You smiled, "These guys sound great, but I don't think I'm ready to date anyone yet. I'm still trying to get settled in."

Emma nodded, "Totally understand. When you're ready though, I'd love to introduce you to some of the guys."

"I've actually already met a few." you said with a laugh, but your smile soon fell as you realized what you just said.

Macee furrowed her brows, "When?"

Y/n, you're such a fucking idiot! You mentally cursed yourself.

"Um," You stuttered, trying to think of a lie. You didn't want to tell Macee and Emma about living with Joe yet. You planned on telling Macee somewhere more private, and a Bengals game was not the place to drop a piece of information like that.

"I didn't necessarily meet them," you continued, "but I saw Ja'marr and Tee in downtown Cincinnati, a uh, a few nights ago."

Macee nodded, "Yeah, the guys like to hangout there. Especially at that brewery on the corner."

"Oooh," Emma mused, "I love that place. Maybe we could do a girls night there sometime? I'd love to get to know you more Y/n, you seem really sweet."

You smiled, "I'd love that. And thank you, you do too."

Emma smiled and put her hands on her bump, "Well ladies, I'd love to chat some more, but little miss wants a pretzel and some salsa."

You and Macee both grimace. You love soft pretzels and salsa, but definitely not together.

Emma laughed at your facial expressions.

"I know, it sounds awful. My pregnancy cravings have been crazy these last few weeks."

"Yeah," you laughed, "I can tell. But whatever makes the baby happy, right?"

She smiled, "Exactly. It was great meeting you Claire, and Macee it's always great to see you."

Macee smiled and gave her a hug goodbye. Emma turned to you and gave you a hug.

"It was nice meeting you Emma. Also, congratulations on the baby."

"Thank you," she smiled, "see you girls later!"

You waved and said goodbye as Emma met up with some other women, who you assumed were wives of other Bengals players.

"She seems sweet." you said, pulling out your claw clip from your purse and putting it into your hair.

Macee nodded, "She is. She's a little quiet sometimes, definitely the opposite of us."

You laughed at her statement. It's true, you and Macee are not the most quiet group of people, but you wouldn't have it any other way. You’ve always been an outgoing and bubbly type of person.

Macee continued, "but she's really sweet."

The concession line moved fairly quickly. You and Macee got your pretzels and drinks and headed back to the stands to catch the second half of the game.

The third quarter was pretty uneventful. Nothing happened until about two minutes left of the quarter when the Dolphins kicker, made a 20 yard field goal. Miami was now up 15-14. You watched as the offense ran onto the field.

Macee glanced at the score board, "Hopefully they score."

"I'm sure they will."

She chuckled, "I think they will, but not before they give us all a heart attack. I call them the cardiac cats for a reason."

The cardiac cats was a perfect nickname for that team.

The offense moved down the field with ease at the start of the fourth quarter. However, they came up short on third down, so Evan McPherson kicked the 19 yard field goal to put some more points on the board. The offense ran back to the sidelines. As the Dolphins began their drive, you surveyed the Bengals sideline. Joe was walking down the sideline, holding the collar of his jersey and looking up into the crowd. The girls next to you started freaking out.

"Oh my god Nat, what if he looks at us?"

"Mads, I think I would die if Joe Burrow even glanced in my direction."

As the girls next to you spoke, Joe locked eyes with you. A smirk started to make its way onto his face as he pulled his gaze off of you. He turned around and continued to walk down the sidelines until he stopped next to Ja'marr.

"Hmmm," Macee hummed, "I wonder who Joey was locking eyes with. Last time I checked he's single."

You couldn't tell her it was you. There's too much to explain and like you’ve mentioned, you can't tell her here.

"Maybe he's got a secret girl." you said, wiggling your eyebrows.

Macee chuckled, "Maybe."

The Dolphins couldn't do much with the ball, punting it back to the Bengals. Joe Mixon had a nice run, gaining about ten yards. However, after his run the guys couldn't get anything going. Joe Mixon was brought down immediately on second down and Joe overthrew Ja'marr on third down. Evan came out onto the field to try and make a 57 yarder—which he nailed, bringing the Bengals lead up 20-15. The rest of the game went by quickly, the Dolphins were struggling on both offense and defense.

There was about three minutes left of the game, the Bengals still had the lead and possession of the ball. The ball was on the Bengals 40 and it was 1st and 10. Joe snapped the ball and dropped back to pass, throwing a 20 yard pass to Tyler Boyd, giving the Bengals another first down. They ran on the next play, trying to eat up the clock. After picking up yardage and a few first downs, it was finally the two minute warning. The ball was now on the Dolphins 45 yard line. Just a few more plays and the Bengals could increase their lead, meaning the Dolphins would need a miracle in order to win the game.

Macee started to tap her foot nervously as she chewed on her thumbnail.

You looked over at her and smiled, "You okay?"

She shook her head, letting out a laugh, "Yeah, just nervous."

"I can tell," you reached out and put your hand on her shoulder, "but I'm confident they'll win."

Both of you turned your attention back to the game. There was two minutes left on the clock. As soon as Joe snapped the ball, the clock started.

1:59

Joe dropped back to pass, looking for an open receiver.

1:58

He threw the ball, lofting it into the air. Tee caught it and took off sprinting.

1:57...1:56...155

You and Macee both held your breath as you watched him run down the field, going past the 15, the 10, the 5, until he was brought down at the 2-yard line. The offense lined up and Joe snapped the ball.

1:54..1:53...

Joe threw the ball and it was caught by Hayden Hurst for a Bengals touchdown!

The crowd broke out into cheering. You and Macee jumped up and down, screaming and cheering right along with them. Evan kicked the extra point, making the score 27-15.

The atmosphere of the stadium was just incredible. You think it's safe to say you picked a good game to attend for your first ever Bengals game. The "Who Dey" chant broke out amongst the stadium, some of the Bengals players even joining in on the chanting.

The rest of the game flew by. The Bengals beat the Dolphins 27-15, giving the Bengals their second win of the season and the Dolphins their first loss.

You and Macee left the stands and went out to the area where the concessions are. It was extremely crowded, full of fans trying to exit the stadium.

"Here," Macee said, grabbing your hand, "follow me."

You followed behind her as she pushed her way through the crowd. You had no idea where you were going, but you figured Macee knew. After a few minutes of pushing through the exiting fans, Macee brought you to an area where a few girls wearing Bengals merch were standing around and talking with one another.

Macee let go of your hand and smiled, "Some of the wives and I wait here after every game. The guys will come through here soon. And who knows," her mouth quirked up in a playful smirk as she gently elbowed your side, "maybe someone will catch your eye."

A few moments later, the players started to walk through the tunnel. Sam and Logan walked out together. Logans face lit up instantly when he saw Macee.

"Hey baby girl!" He exclaimed, holding his arms out for her. She walked up to him and jumped into his arms. He held onto her tightly, the two of them smiling widely.

"I'm so proud of you, babe. You did great!"

He kissed her cheek and set her down on the ground so he could kiss her lips.

He pulled away and pulled her into another hug, "Thank you sweetheart. It's because I had you so close to me this time." He said with a smirk.

Macee chuckled and grabbed his hand, "Come here, I have someone I want you to meet."

She brought him over to where you were standing. Oh no. This could be bad. You thought to yourself.

Macee has no clue, but You’ve already met Logan that night a few weeks ago that Joe had him and Ja'marr over to the apartment after practice.

Logan smiled as he saw you, “Oh, hey Y/n!”

Damnit.

"Hi Logan. How are you?"

Macees eyebrows furrowed in confusion, "Wait, you know her?" she turned to you, “you know him?"

Logan nodded, "Yeah, I saw her at Jo-."

You rapidly shook your head no, making Logan's eyes widen.

"Jolene's." he finished.

"Jolene's?" Macee questioned, cocking her head to the side and crossing her arms.

He nodded, "Yup."

"Jolene's the lingerie store?"

You grimaced. This can't get any worse, right?

"Aye Burrow look, it's Y/n!”

It got worse. You closed your eyes and let out a heavy sigh. When you opened them again you saw Ja'marr and Joe had joined Macee, Logan, and yourself. Macee looked back and forth between you and the three guys, a look of both confusion and disbelief on her face.

"I am so confused. You know them?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

You sighed, "It's a long story. A very long story, that I planned on telling you at lunch next week, but I guess I can't do that now."

She nodded, "Yeah, it seems like it. So how do you know them?"

You felt terrible that this is how Macee is going to find out about you and Joe being roommates.

"Babe," Logan spoke up, “remember how I came back home from Joe's apartment a couple weeks ago and told you about his roommate?"

She nodded, "Yeah, you said he has some random girl named Y/n living with him." Her mouth gaped open and her eyes widened as she finished her sentence.

"You're Joes roommate!?" she asked, completely shocked.

Joe nodded, "Yup. She's my roommate."

Macee shocked expression turned to a smile, "Oh my god, Y/n? This is crazy!?"

"Tell me about it." Joe said with a sigh.

"You have to tell me all about how this even happened." She said, eagerly.

You laughed, "Don't worry, I will."

Macee's smile switched to a smirk as she turned to Joe.

"Wait a minute."

Joe raised his eyebrows.

Macee continued, "During the game, when you were walking down the sidelines and gazing up into the crowd, it was Y/n that you were eyeing wasn't it?"

You looked up at Joe, seeing a faint blush make its way onto his cheeks.

"Maybe." Was all he said.

Logan laughed, "Oh he totally has the hots for her."

Joe shook his head and laughed, "Yeah right," he looked down at you as he spoke, "She was looking at me first."

You felt heat rise to your cheeks as Ja'marr and Logan let out a chorus of "oooo's". Macee waved them off, "Oh come on, leave poor Y/n alone."

You smiled, mouthing a thank you.

She smiled, "You're welcome. Now, Logan and I are going to head out. We have a very important win to celebrate."

Logan put his arm around Macee and pulled her into his side. He wiggled his eyes brows as he spoke, "Oh baby, now you've got me all excited."

Macee chuckled, "Good." She let go of Logan and walked over to you, pulling you into a tight hug.

"Thank you for coming to this game with me tonight, Y/n. I had a blast!"

You squeezed her gently and said, "Thank you for inviting me! It was a lot of fun."

When you pulled away from each other, you gave her an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry for not telling you about all of this sooner. I wanted to tell you during lunch next week, but,"

She shook her head, "Y/n it's okay. Don't be sorry. You can still tell me all the details over lunch." She said with a wink.

You nodded, flashing her a genuine smile, "Sounds good to me."

She smiled, "Awesome, I'll see you later."

Macee walked back over to Logan and grabbed his hand.

"Bye guys, great job tonight!" She said to Joe and Ja'marr before her and Logan began to walk away. She stopped in her tracks and turned around.

"Do you need a ride Y/n?"

"Oh, I'll ju-."

You were cut off by Joe. "I'll take her home."

She smiled, "Okay. Bye guys." Her and Logan exited the stadium, leaving you with Joe, Ja'marr, and a few other players and their wives.

You were about to say something to Joe when you heard your name being called from a few feet away.

"Y/n!"

You looked around, looking for whoever called your name. It was Emma. She was waving you over to where she was standing with Sam and Evan McPherson. You smiled, excusing yourself from Joe and Ja'marr before joining Emma, Sam, and Evan.

"Sam, this is who I was telling you about.This is Y/n. shes Macee's friend." Emma said, gesturing to you.

He held his hand out for you to shake. You shook it and smiled, "Hi, I'm Y/n.”

"Sam." He said with a nod.

Emma smiled, "And Y/n this," she gestured to the tall brunette standing next to Sam, "is Evan."

Evan smiled as you shook hands. His cheeks were slightly red as he grew flustered from your hands touching.

"Hi Y/n. it's really nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too. You did awesome tonight, by the way."

He blushed, laughing lightly, "Thanks."

You smiled warmly at him. “You're welcome."

"You know, Emma was telling me a little bit about you."

"Yeah?" You asked, raising an eyebrow.

He nodded, "Yeah. I uh, I'd love to get your number, if that's okay?"

You glanced over at Emma. She nodded.

"Sure." You said, a small smile pulling at your lips.

He grinned, "Okay, sweet."

As you exchanged phone numbers, you felt butterflies in your stomach. Evan seemed like a very nice guy and even though you’re not ready for a relationship quite yet, you’d love to get to know him a bit more.

You said goodbye to the three of them and walked back over to Joe and Ja'marr. Joe put his phone back in his pocket with a sigh when he saw you come back.

"Ready to go?" he asked.

You nodded. You both said goodbye to Ja'marr and walked out of the stadium. Thankfully, It wasn't too long of a walk to Joe's car. You opened the passenger door and got in. As soon as you were both buckled, Joe put his hand on your headrest and looked behind him as he backed out of the spot. You couldn’t help but stare at his features and notice the way his defined jaw clenched as he looked out the back window of the car. Once he had backed out, he put the car into drive and pulled out of the stadium

"So, how'd you enjoy your first Bengals game?" He asked, breaking the silence between the two of you.

"I loved it."

He glanced at you, “Yeah?"

You nodded, "Yeah. It was a lot of fun, plus, you guys won so that makes it even better."

He chuckled, "Yeah, that always makes the games fun."

You sat in silence for a bit before he spoke up again.

"You know, I think I was right."

You furrowed your brows in confusion. "About what?"

"You wouldn't be able to keep your eyes off me." He teased, smirking as he spoke.

You rolled your eyes and scoffed, "Oh please, it was just once that I couldn't."

He looked over at you and gave you a look of amusement.

You sighed, "Okay, fine, a couple times."

Joe chuckled at your admission.

"But it's only because the girls next to me wouldn't shut up about you."

"Mhm, blame the fans, Y/n.” He teased.

You just rolled your eyes at him. Other than the faint sound of Kid Cudi playing from the Aux, the rest of the ride back to the apartment was silent. You looked out the window of Joe's car and thought about the game tonight.

You truly had a blast. So much happened in one night. You went to your first NFL game, you made new friends, you told Macee your roommates with the quarterback of the team, and you got the kickers number—all in one night!

You don't know what'll happen within the next few weeks, but one things for certain.

Your crazy journey in Cincinnati is just getting started.

i hope you're all enjoying this story so far! i'm having so much fun writing it, especially now that we're getting into the good parts of the story.

I wonder, with the possibility of having a sing 3 sequel, I wonder if Ryan would even be in it. If he would be added , I'm curious if they would redesign him to be more unique, in Sing 2 he looked like any other tiger character in the movie, considering he has the same models as the tiger background, and considering that the main cast have unique models that differentiate them from the other background characters that are the same animals as them.

I wonder what would his redesign would look like to make him more unique that removes him from the background but also relates to him as a part of the cast.

What do you think his design would be if he was added?

Thanks so much for the ask! And I'm sorry for the rambling that's about to follow this, I just really love this topic. Hope you enjoy though! - <3 Gooseless

--------------------------------------

Ryan does actually have a unique model! His stripe pattern and eye color is completely unique to him, as well as his build being slightly different. Which is why the tiger we see at the auditions is Ryan in my opinion, as legit every other tiger has the same stripes besides that one (who we actually never see audition so might just be there as a represenative).

We only see two other tigers in the movies (that I could find) and while their stripe patterns aren't the same, they are more similar to each other than Ryan. Ryan has a distinct flame shaped stripe on his left cheek. And while the other two's stripes are similar, that's because bengal tigers do have those type stripes on their cheeks.

See below the facial patterns on an actual bengal tiger:

And then the stripes of the two other tigers we see:

And finally, there's my boy Ryan:

They are distinct from the other stripe patterns we've seen, no longer sickle shaped but flame shaped on the left cheek.

And while it is compressed in the auditions photo. you can see the blobs that would likely look like the other flame branches if he had higher pixelation in this frame (he's tiny and in the background).

And the other two tigers we see, though not in the best pixelation or lighting, seem to have dark colored eyes, while Ryan's are very noticeably green, and likely a shade between olive and sage green judging by how it changes in the various lightings. Even in the auditions, that tiger has a lighter coloured iris.

And as for builds, we'll use a handy dandy chart!

As for the other two, we actually see two different builds for them too. While Ryan is an inverted triangle (mesomorph), which is also Johnny's too for reference, the other tigers do seem to be rectangular in build (to be fair they are in loose clothing and that is my perspective of it but this also would align more with actual tigers too). They also differ from endomorphs and ectomorphs as well.

*Sorry photos aren't the best and from weird angles, they literally are barely on screen lol*

------------------

Ok now on to the redesign. The reason Ryan looks more like a background character despite his unique model is his clothing imo. Whenever we see him, he's either in a uniform (the leotard and leggings), or very plain, nondescript clothing (the costume underclothes and the suit).

So, we can fix this by giving him a new outfit! Which is amazing because otherwise we would have to change the entire model and that would take forever lol.

Almost all the teen/younger characters wear jeans in the movies (the exceptions are the eldest two, Nooshy and Ash) and Ryan does seem to be at least close to Johnny's age so he joins the jean club. Now adding cuffed light wash jeans to his outfit.

Second, Ryan gives off strong perfectionist vibes. You don't become a principal (or at least high up) dancer at a company like the one we see him in as young as he likely is without an ambitious and perfectionist streak a mile wide. So we're gonna go with something that codes that to the audience (aka yes, somewhat stereotypical clothing for that cliche), a dark green sweatshirt over a white button up. This type of aesthetic is also not used by any of the main cast so far and the dark green accent will highlight his eye color, making it stand out more and further giving him a unique look.

And for accessories, which please let's give these kids jewelry, I typically describe Ryan as having two double lobe earrings, with one being a long simple gold one and another that is either a rainbow heart or a gold stud. I also give him a jade and gold necklace (which is tiger shaped in the continuation fic) and have him wear dark green sneakers for more green accents. You can also add in a brown or black belt if you want so he can tuck in the sweatshirt and shirt, but those don't necessarily have to be showing.

--------------------------------------

So, yeah, that's how I would change Ryan's design to make him fit more in with the rest of the main cast! I really hope we do see more of Ryan, though I am not sold on the idea of a third movie, so I'm pretty sure I'd prefer to see him in shorts lol. But I hope you enjoyed all of this chaos of a character design analysis/comparison of sorts, thanks again for the ask!

#sing 2 #sing ryan #ryan my boy #essentially i would just put him in his continuation fic outfit lol #but a character with a darker green colour palette and an academic aesthetic is not part of the troupe now so he'd be very recognizable #also would really contrast johnny's skater style which i love #gives prep and punk vibes which is adorable #if you cant tell i like character design lol #and ramble a lot #also yes i do believe ryan was supposed to be a bigger character in the movie #i mean he has his own model and is the only named dancer and could be a really cool parallel for johnny #but thats a rant for another day

My Archer (Kate Bishop x Pregnant!Reader; Natasha Romanoff x Daisy Johnson)

Kate Bishop Masterlist

Main Masterlist

(Y/n) Johnson hums happily over her bowl of brownie mix. Her fiance, Kate, had been sent on a no-contact mission with Clint, Natasha, and Yelena for the last week or so, leaving (Y/n) alone with their pets, Lucky the Pizza Dog - a golden retriever - and Tiger - a bengal cat.

There was something that (Y/n) needed to tell Kate, but she supposed that her secret would be safe for the time being.

Tiger jumps up onto the counter, and for once, (Y/n) doesn't scold the cat, or ask him jump down, happy for the cat’s company.

Tiger lets out a mrow, shuffling his paws on the countertop.

(Y/n) smiles at the cat as she pours the brownie batter into a pan before sliding it into the oven.

. . .

It had turned out that Kate’s no-contact mission had turned out to last three months and Kate still hadn’t come home.

(Y/n)’s older sister, Daisy, frequently drops by the apartment to visit her pregnant sister, Tiger, and Lucky.

It had been a day when Daisy had been visiting when (Y/n) finally broke.

“I miss Kate,” (Y/n) is cuddled up on the couch with Tiger resting on her stomach.

Daisy looks over at her sister, whose eyes had welled with tears. Daisy gets up, moving over to her sister, wrapping her in a hug.

“I know you miss her,” Daisy murmurs, rocking her sister gently.

. . .

Kate returns a week later in the middle of the night, almost tripping over Lucky and Tiger, who were curled up together on the welcome mat, just inside the door.

The woman, exhausted, strips herself of her purple mission suit, before slipping into a pair of black boxers and an oversized purple t-shirt before she crawls into bed.

The young Bishop notices something is different about her fiance when she wraps her arms around (Y/n)’s waist, but she writes it off as off her tiredness and falls asleep, her head falling to rest against (Y/n)’s on (Y/n)’s shoulder.

. . .

Kate panics when (Y/n) isn’t in her arms the next morning, but she faintly remembers a kiss on her forehead and a promise of a welcome home breakfast; Kate’s panic lessens.

Kate sleepily stumbles into the kitchen, her shirt riding up slightly as she pulls on a sweatshirt.

“Hiya, sweetie,” (Y/n) turns to meet her fiance’s gaze.

Kate grins, her eyebrows scrunching up. She studies (Y/n) closely but only notices that that oversized t-shirt was a little tighter around her stomach than it had been three and a half months before, but once again, Kate writes it off.

“You can have a seat,” (Y/n) offers, gesturing to the barstools at the island across from her.

Kate hums, but leaps onto the counter next to where (Y/n) was making french toast and bacon, and cutting up some fruit.

“I missed you,” Kate says softly, pulling (Y/n) to her with a hand.

(Y/n) moves willingly, allowing Kate to pepper kisses to (Y/n)’s face.

“We should invite Daisy, Natasha, and Yelena over for breakfast,” (Y/n) says and Kate smiles.

“Okay,” Kate presses another kiss to (Y/n)’s forehead. “I’ll go get my phone and call them,” Kate replies.

(Y/n) stretches up to place a kiss onto Kate’s lips before moving so Kate could jump off the counter.

Tiger takes place on the counter, leaning his head down to press his nose against the top of (Y/n)’s stomach.

“You sneaky little cat,” (Y/n) says, petting the cat’s head before turning back to her pans.

. . .

Kate and (Y/n) set the plates of french toast and bacon on the table, as well as a bowls of cut strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple.

“Thank you two for inviting us over,” Natasha says, looking up at (Y/n), and meeting (Y/n)’s gaze.

“I thought it was best for our family to have a welcome home breakfast together,” (Y/n) replies, smiling at the older redhead.

(Y/n) can swear that Natasha’s eyes water at the words, and (Y/n)’s heart clenches. Her expression softens, and she reaches over to squeeze the woman’s hand.

Then Kate brings something to the table that makes Yelena perk up. “You made me macaroni?” the blonde’s accent is as thick as normal.

“Thought you’d want some,” (Y/n) replies.

“Thank you Kate Bishop and (Y/n) Johnson,” Yelena says, grabbing the hot sauce off the table.

“I was wondering what the heck that was for,” Daisy says, glancing amusedly at Yelena.

(Y/n) smirks when she finds Natasha’s gaze lingering on her sister’s face.

Quack, (Y/n) thinks, almost rolling her eyes at the ship name she’d seen for her sister and the redheaded Avenger online.

. . .

(Y/n) drums her fingers on the dining room table as she tries to find her words.

Kate looks at (Y/n), her eyes gleaming with concern and worry. “Did I do something wrong?” Kate asks, her eyes wide.

(Y/n) looks up, her eyes on Kate. “No, sweetie. Of course not,” (Y/n) replies, reaching out to rest her hands atop Kate’s, which had begun to tap on the table, in sync with (Y/n)’s. “We’re going to have a baby,” (Y/n) blurts out.

Kate’s eyes widen more. “Really!” Kate bounces excitedly in her chair.

“You’re happy?” (Y/n) asks, her eyes watering.

“Yes. Yes!” Kate bounces out of her chair, moving to pull (Y/n) up and into a hug.

Kate’s tight squeeze softens almost immediately. “Did I hurt you?” Kate pulls away, looking into (Y/n)’s face for any signs of distress.

(Y/n)’s arms wrap around Kate’s waist, pulling the women closer, and allowing her head to rest on Kate’s chest. “You could never hurt me.”

. . .

(Y/n)’s head is lying on Kate’s thigh. (Y/n) is now thirty-one weeks into her pregnancy, and was getting to the point where she was always tired.

Kate’s finger brush against (Y/n)’s forehead, and then her belly.

(Y/n) had become frustrated with how heavy she felt, but Kate had always been adamant that (Y/n) was still beautiful in her eyes.

(Y/n) closes her eyes, knowing that an early afternoon nap would be good for her, as she hadn’t been able to sleep at night - that’s when the baby seemed to be the most active and the large bump wasn’t much help either.

Kate looks down, her expression softening as she studies (Y/n)’s face.

. . .

Kate cradles her son to her chest, as she rocks in the chair.

(Y/n) walks into the nursery, her expression gentle as she takes in her sleeping fiance and son, Oliver.

The name Oliver had been a joke at first, in reference to Oliver Queen from the Arrow, but after calling the baby Oliver for so long, it had stuck, and the two women had come to adore the name.

“Katie,” (Y/n) murmurs, pressing a kiss to Kate’s forehead. Kate’s eyes flash open, and she tightens her arms instinctively around Oliver. “It’s just me,” (Y/n) says softly, reaching out her arms to take Oliver.

Kate’s grip on the baby softens - not that it had been overly tight - and (Y/n) reaches over to take Oliver.

Kate sleepily stands up, stretching, and then her gaze flares with concern and guilt. “I’m sorry.”

“Go on, Kate,” (Y/n) reaches up to press a kiss to Kate’s cheek. “I know you’re tired. You’ve been pulling late shifts at work. I’ll be there in a minute.”

(Y/n) rocks Oliver back to sleep - he’d been squirming slightly in (Y/n)’s arms.

Kate guiltily stumbles off to bed, sliding under the covers while she lies on her back, staring at the ceiling and waiting for (Y/n) to join her in bed.

(Y/n) returns to bed, cuddling up beside Kate, her head resting on Kate’s chest and she guides Kate’s arm to wrap around her waist.

“I’m sorry,” Kate says again, her voice soft as to not yell in (Y/n)’s ear.

“Kate,” (Y/n) props herself up with an elbow. “There’s nothing you need to be sorry for.”

Kate turns her head, and her eyes gleam with sadness and guilt. “Oliver’s only been home for a month, and I’ve already messed up. I’m a terrible mother.”

(Y/n) brushes away the tears that had begun to trickle down Kate’s cheek. “Kate,” she uses a finger to tilt Kate’s chin up to meet her gaze, “you couldn’t be a better mother if you tried. Even exhausted, you still take time to help out with Oliver. I wouldn’t be able to do this without you.”

Kate’s expression softens and she rests her nose against (Y/n)’s temple.

There is a comfortable silence between the two lovers before (Y/n) hears snoring above her head - she had allowed her head to rest against Kate’s chest again.

“Good night, my archer,” (Y/n) presses a kiss to Kate’s cheek before she closes her own eyes. She couldn’t be more excited to see where her life would lead her and her little family. (Y/n) smiles at the thought, Tiger and Lucky jumping up onto the bed and curling up together at (Y/n) and Kate’s feet.

lmao i just read your tags on that poll and i thought you should know that my broncos ass is literally waiting on a chiefs sweatshirt to wear tonight. also sorry about joey b ☹️

Lmao, I’m so glad I’m not alone. I feel particularly traitorous as my fellow Bengals fan coworker is in person with me today, so it’s an extra betrayal. I just want Joey to have ONE healthy season. Just one. He’s missed at least part of camp and the pre-season every year and it’s so frustrating, and now we’re losing him for the back-end of this one as well right as they were hitting their stride. I guess I’m fortunate the universe granted me Travis and the Chiefs to root for in this time of need.

#thanks for the ask 💕

series masterlist

———————————————————

November 4, 2022

You put on your red oversized University of Arizona sweatshirt and went out to the kitchen to make your morning cup of coffee.

You have the day off of work today, so you figured you would stay home and do some cleaning. Joe had some of his teammates over after practice a couple days ago and the apartment was still a mess.

You cant even remember the last time this place was properly cleaned. Gross.

You pulled a coffee cup from off the rack next to the coffee maker. You put the cup underneath it and prepared the coffee grounds. As the coffee started to drip into the cup, the bathroom door swung open and Joe walked out, clad in his black gym shorts with a tucked in black long sleeve that had the bengals logo just above his left pec. Towel in hand, he walked down the hall towards your bedroom. Well he wasn't going into your room, right across from your bedroom was the laundry room. He threw the towel into the laundry basket designated for towels and walked back into the kitchen.

Joe smiled at you as he walked into the kitchen, "Morning Y/n."

You smiled up at him as you grabbed the coffee creamer, "Good morning Joe."

He opened the fridge and pulled out the egg carton, a diced green bell pepper, chunks of ham, and shredded cheddar cheese. As he put the ingredients on the counter he spoke, "How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty good," you said with a nod, "you?"

"Good until my alarm went off," he replied, chuckling lightly.

"You didn't want to work out at five A-M with Ja'Marr this morning?" you asked with raised eyebrows and a smirk.

"It was actually seven this morning."

"Oh, wow seven?"

Joe nodded as he walked over to the stove and got a skillet out.

"Can't believe he let you sleep in?" you said, shaking your head, "Usually he's pounding on the door if you're not out by five."

Joe and Ja'Marr have a very weird work out schedule. Some days they're up before the sunrise, working out for almost two hours before their all day practice. Other days they're up at a more reasonable time, working out for longer.

Joe chuckled, "He was feeling extra nice this morning I guess."

You smiled and let out a laugh, "Yeah, I guess so."

You went back to preparing your coffee as Joe started making his breakfast. As he was whisking the eggs together, he turned to you as you put the coffee creamer away.

"You want any eggs?"

You shook your head. "I'll stick to my coffee for now. But thanks."

He nodded and turned his attention back to making his breakfast. You stood in the kitchen, sipping your coffee and watching Joe make his eggs. He grabbed a plate from the cabinet above him and set it down on the counter, sprinkling cheese over the eggs and letting it melt before he put a large portion on the plate. He turned the stove off and grabbed a fork, setting it on his plate. He walked into the small dining room that was just off to the side of the living room. You followed him, deciding to keep him company as he ate his breakfast.

You and Joe have actually started to get along. You think it's safe to say you’re actually becoming quite good friends. You have learned a lot about Joe and you’ve realized he isn't as bad as you thought he was when you first moved in with him. It's easy to see why every girl loves him.

He's a really nice guy, he's extremely humble, and he has a great sense of humor. And you have to admit, he's not bad looking, at all. He's actually very attractive...

But, you don't have a crush on him, you swear. You’re really happy with how things are going with Evan. The two of you have agreed to take things slow and not rush into anything. Both of you have talked about a possible relationship, but for now you’re just happy with each others company.

You sat down on the chair across from Joe, setting your coffee cup down in front of you. The two of you sat in silence as Joe ate his breakfast. You grabbed your cup and took a sip of your coffee. As you sat the cup down on the table, your stomach let out a loud growl. You clutched your stomach, making Joe chuckle. He stood from his chair and walked into the kitchen, grabbing a plate and filling it with eggs. He grabbed a fork from the silverware drawer and walked back out to the dining room. He set the plate down in front of you.

"Here. Can't go to work on an empty stomach."

You looked up at him, feeling just the slightest hint of butterflies from his kind action. He smiled down at you before walking back over to his side of the table and sitting back down.

You smiled, "Thank you, Joe. I don't have work today though."

He shrugged, "Doesn't mean you can't eat breakfast."

You and Joe made small talk as you ate your breakfast. You have to admit, Joe is a great cook. You don't know what he did to those eggs, but they were delicious.

You and Joe got up from the table and went in to the kitchen to clean your plates off. As you set your plate in the dishwasher, your phone went off. You pulled it out of your leggings and smiled when you saw it was a text from Evan. Your eyes scanned the chat he sent you, your face instantly turning red as you read the words. Joe closed the dishwasher and looked at you as you smiled down at your phone, thumbs quickly typing away.

"What's got you so flustered?" Joe chuckled, running a hand through his damp blonde hair.

You shook your head, "Nothing that concerns you."

Joe clenched his jaw and nodded slowly, "Sooo, it has nothing to do with shooter?"

You furrowed your brows in confusion, "Shooter?"

"Evan."

You shrugged, picking up your coffee cup and taking a sip of the hot liquid before you replied. "Maybe."

Joe crossed his arms and just looked at you with a deadpan gaze and clenched jaw. It almost seemed like he was jealous?

"What?" you laughed, "would it be a such a big deal if it has to do with him?"

Joe scoffed and let out a laugh of disbelieve, "Yeah it would."

"Oh come on, no it wouldn't."

"Yes it would."

You rolled your eyes, "Fine. Why would it be such a big deal?"

"Because he's my teammate, Y/n! I told you early on that my teammates are off limits."

Oh.

You forgot all about that chat the two of you had after you met Logan and Ja'Marr that first week. After the guys left you mentioned something about thinking Ja'Marr was hot and Joe gave you this whole spiel about how his teammates were "off limits for you to hit on". You told him you understood because you truly did see where he was coming from. Coming home to see your roommate making out with your teammate would be extremely awkward.

But it's not going to stop you from talking to Evan. You care about what Joe thinks, but at the same time, you want to be happy here in Cincinnati. And you know Evan can make you really happy.

"I never said I was going out with him." you said, shrugging your shoulders, "we're simply just talking to each other."

Joe rolled his eyes, "Oh don't bullshit me Y/n."

"Excuse you?"

Joe scoffed, "I'm not an idiot, sweetheart."

"Don't call me that. I have a name."

"Fine. I'm not an idiot, Y/n."

You crossed your arms and kept your jaw clenched as Joe spoke.

"I think you're forgetting that Evan is my friend and my teammate. I see him basically every day of the week. I hear the things he says about you, Y/n. I see the posts on your stories, I hear about the text messages, I know about everything, You're not just talking to him! And I specifically told you not to get with any of my teammates. And what did you do? You got with one of my teammates!"

"You are unbelievable."

"Oh I am?"

You scoffed and let out a laugh of shock, "Yeah, yeah you are! It's none of your business who I date or who I talk to. You don't control me, Joe."

He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, "I never said I did!"

"It shouldn't matter to you if I date Evan or not! Don't you want him to be happy?"

Joe stayed silent, clenching his jaw as you spoke. You rolled your eyes and shook your head in annoyance. He was being so unreasonable.

You decided to hit him where it hurts.

"And," you continued, "It's not like i'm going to bring him over here all the time and have sex with him when you're here if that's what you're so worried about!? Because unlike you I have respect for my roommate."

Yep. You’re referring to that time when you walked into the apartment and saw Joe hooking up with a girl on your couch.

He rolled his eyes, "Oh my god," he mumbled under his breath, "that was one time!"

"Yeah, one time too many!"

Joe shook his head and huffed out a sigh of annoyance. He looked at me and crossed his arms, the look on his face was extremely hard to read. He seemed annoyed, but almost disappointed, too.

"You know what Y/n? Fine, you win. You wanna date Evan, go right ahead. I thought maybe you'd respect my wishes, but clearly I was wrong. Wrong about you."

You felt your heart drop to the pit of your stomach. All of your anger towards Joe turned into confusion. What does he mean wrong about you?

"Joe, I-."

He shook his head, "Save it."

"Joe, just let me explain-."

"Just get out!"

You furrowed your brows in confusion, looking up at him with concern. You gulped as you struggled to find the right words to say to him. You opened your mouth slightly, trying to think of what to say. You struggled to form a sentence as tears began to well up in your eyes. You were so confused. Where was this coming from?

"Go be with Evan or some other guy on my team. Clearly they're all pretty important to you."

You shook your head, trying to hold back tears. You grabbed your phone and stormed out of the kitchen. You quickly slid your tennis shoes on and grabbed your car keys. You needed to get away from here for a bit. You were hurt and extremely confused. Joe has never spoken to you like this before.

And here you thought the two of you were starting to actually become friends. Clearly you were wrong.

You grabbed your keys and as you opened the door to leave, you turned to face Joe who was still standing in the kitchen with crossed arms and a clenched jaw.

"Screw you." you said to him, rolling your eyes and slamming the apartment door behind you.

~time skip~

"Maybe I'm just being dramatic, but I don't get it. This came out of nowhere?!" you exclaimed, throwing your hands up in the air as you ranted to Macee, who was folding and displaying new t-shirts.

After storming out of the apartment, you decided to drive downtown to CincyStyles to talk to Macee. You knew she'd be able to give you some advice and talk you through the situation with Joe.

Macee frowned. She knew why Joe was being harsh, but she knew she couldn't say anything.

"I'm sorry hun," she said, reaching out to place a hand on your shoulder, "he shouldn't have made such a big deal over something so small. So what if you date one of his teammates? He should be happy! You're a wonderful girl, any of those guys would be lucky to have you."

You smiled, "Thank you Macee. I guess I see where he's coming from. I did promise him I wouldn't go out with any of his teammates."

"Well I mean, technically you haven't gone out with any of them, right?"

You shook my head, "No."

Macee smiled softly, "See? He's just being dramatic then. You didn't go against your word."

You grimaced slightly, thinking about how to break the news to Macee. You did go against your word to Joe...

"I'm going on a date tonight. With Evan." you said, pulling your lips into a straight line. Macee's eyes widened as her mouth fell open in shock.

"Like a date, date? Not just a get together at the gym and work out kind of thing?"

"Yeah, like a date, date."

"Y/n," she beamed, "that's awesome! Aren't you excited?"

You were very excited for your date with Evan, yes. But after the argument with Joe this morning, something just feels off. You almost feel a little guilty? You get butterflies just thinking about your date with Evan, but, you have this other feeling that you can't quite explain. You feel guilty for going out with Evan, but you don't why.

You know you shouldn't feel guilty, but you do.

You shook your thoughts away and smiled, feeling your cheeks burn at the thought of your date later, "I'm really excited. Evan is such a great guy."

"He is, isn't he?" Macee asked, a sweet smile on her face. She walked over to the rack of jeans, re-organizing the sizes as she continued speaking, "You didn't hear this from me but," she paused, looking over at you with a playful smirk on her face, "Evan's got a pretty big crush on you."

"Yeah, he does."

You turned around at the new voice that had joined in on the conversation.

"Hey Alisa!" Macee said with a smile as she hugged the brunette woman.

"Hey! Trey and I were out, so I thought I'd stop by and say hi." The woman, Alisa, said. She turned to you with a kind smile.

"You must be Y/n?"

You nodded, smiling at her. She held her right hand out and you shook it, the two of you introducing yourselves.

"I'm Alisa, Trey's wife. You're Evan's girlfriend right?”

Your eyes widened. You were not expecting that.

"Oh, uh," you let out an awkward laugh, "No, we're not dating."

She covered her mouth with her hands, pulling them away to say, "I am so sorry."

"You're okay, don't worry about it," you smiled, "you're technically not wrong. We aren't official yet, but he and I have been seeing each other, I guess?" you said with a hesitant tone.

You don't really know what you and Evan are. You guess that's why you’re going on a date tonight. To figure out what label to put on your relationship.

She smiled, "Evan is a sweet guy and I've heard he has nothing but good things to say about you, Y/n."

You blushed as Alisa said that. You have nothing but good things to say about him, too. Macee, Alisa and you continued to talk for a bit until Alisa decided to meet back up with Trey. You said goodbye and you and Alisa exchanged phone numbers. It was good to have another friend here in Cincinnati.

Once Alisa left, Macee decided to close the boutique for the night.

You furrowed your brow in confusion. We never close early, especially on a Friday.

"Why are you closing up?

Macee smirked, "Because you Miss Y/l/n, have a date to get ready for," she grabbed your hand, "so come on. I'm going to help you get ready."

meanwhile

Joe's pov:

God you're such an idiot, Joe. I thought to myself as I let out a heavy sigh.

I really didn't mean to start some stupid argument with Y/n. I just let my jealousy get the best of me.

I want her to be happy, I really do, but not with one of my teammates. Hopefully you all don't think I'm crazy and you can see where I'm coming from when I told her my teammates are off limits.

I just don't want things to be awkward. I don't want to come home one night and find my roommate on the couch with one of my best friends. Am I so crazy for NOT wanting that to happen?

I walked into the living room and plopped down on the couch. I couldn't shake the guilt that was building up inside me. My mind wandered to the moment before Y/n walked out. It broke my heart to see her upset. Especially since I was the one that caused it. I said things to her that I shouldn't have said. I wish there was something I could do to make it up to her.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I pulled it out and cursed to myself as I saw it was Ja'Marr. (Ja'marr is in bold, Joe is in italics).

Hey Ja-

Burrow, where the fuck you at man?

What?

I'm at Hubbards, we're waitin' on your ass to get here

Shit, *sigh* I totally forgot that was today

Man how the hell did you forget?

I'm sorry! My mind has just been elsewhere today. Y/n and I got into a fight and-

Oooh, trouble in paradise

Oh, shut up.

*laughter* I'm just messin' with you man. What'd you get in an argument over?

It doesn't matter

Uh huh.

Look, I need to come up with a way to make it up to Y/n

That bad huh?

Yeah.

Hold on *silence* Hey Joe!

Hey Emma

Ja'Marr said you needed my help with Y/n.

What do girls like as an “I'm sorry gift"? I’ve never fucked up this bad before, Em.

Well, anytime Sam and I argue we usually just have make-up sex and then -

Yeah nope.

*laugh* You didn't let me finish. Sam will get my favorite takeout and we stay up late watching our favorite movies. That always gets me to forgive him, maybe you should try that with Y/n?

Yeah, I think I can do that. Thanks for the help, Em.

Anytime, Joey. Good luck!

Thanks.

*silence* Aight Joey B, you comin' with us or...?

No, I've got a movie night.

With?

Who do you think?

Lucky you. *smirk* Don't tell shooter

*Eyeroll* Whatever. Well, I gotta go. You and Sam have fun, but not too much fun.

I should be saying that to you. We don't need Joe and Y/n babies .

Good lord...see ya Ja'Marr.

Bye Burrow, be safe while you fuc-

I ended the call and put my phone down on the couch with a sigh. My mind wandered to Y/n. It's been a couple hours since she left. I knew she had to come back at some point, but I wasn't sure when. I wanted the takeout and movies to be ready when she got here, so I figured I should get everything prepared now.

I remembered Y/n telling me that her favorite takeout is bar food, so I ordered a variety of appetizers from my favorite bar in downtown Cincinnati. I'm confident that she will like it as much as I do.

As for the movie, I rented her favorite: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. RomComs aren't my favorite, but I'm willing to watch it with Y/n if it makes her happy.

I don't ever get nervous. I like to think I'm a very confident person. Right now though, I am very nervous just thinking about Y/n coming back. I never get this way, about anyone. It feels foreign to me.

But now, all I have to do is wait and hope Y/n will forgive me.

Wish me luck.

~time skip~

Joe's Pov:

I was sitting on the couch fiddling with my thumbs when I heard the apartment door open. I stood from from my spot, gulping when I saw Y/n.

She was wearing black leather pants with a red tank top. Her lips matched her shirt, and her curled black lashes made her Y/e/c eyes pop. Her Y/h/c hair was softly curled, framing her face perfectly.

She looked absolutely beautiful.

No, NO. You cant think like that. I scolded myself internally. I sucked in a breath and stood from the couch, giving her a soft smile as I looked at her.

"Hi."

She smiled, "Hey."

"I uh," I cleared my throat, knowing that my cheeks were now slightly flushed, “you look nice."

"Thanks Joe."

I nodded. It was somewhat tense as Y/n and I just stood looking at each other.

"I'm sor-."

"About earl-."

I chuckled as she let out a laugh.

"You go first." She said, gesturing to me.

"I'm sorry about earlier. I overreacted and was a complete dick. I'm really sorry, Y/n." I rubbed the back of my neck awkwardly as I continued, "I uh, I rented some movies. You're more than welcome to join me, if you don't have other plans."

Y/n frowned, "I have a date Joe, I'm sorry. I just stopped by so I could grab my heels."

I felt my heart drop. I tried my best to hide my faltering smile at the news.

She was going out with Evan.

“No, no that’s okay,” I shrugged, “I was going to watch movies with Ja’Marr anyway so…”

She smiled softly and nodded, “Well, have fun.” She walked past me and to her room, grabbing her shoes and then walking out of the apartment.

“Yeah, you too…” I frowned, disappointment evident in my tone.

I could tell she was still upset about earlier by the way she was quick to leave the apartment. I sat down on the couch, exiting the page that had How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days open. Y/n didn’t even notice the movie on the TV or her favorite takeout sitting on the counter with a note.

So much for my movie night and takeout apology.
