Word count: 2283

Notes: thank you for this request! Keep in mind that it is the first request I’ve gotten so I hope you enjoy!!!

For the past few months, something has been weighing down on me. From the time I wake up to the time my head hits my pillow at night, I am thinking about it. No matter what I do, I can’t seem to shake it. What’s worse is that Joe has no idea what is going on. I don’t know if the worse part about it is that I’m going to be dropping a bomb on him out of nowhere, or the fact that he has been so oblivious about his own wife being completely miserable. I wake up, take the kids to school, go to work, pick the kids back up, make dinner, say hello to Joe, go to sleep, and do it all over again. Over…and over…and over again.

It sucks. This life sucks. I never thought I’d be saying it, but it’s true. It didn’t used to suck, though. My life was great. I moved to Athens, Ohio when I was 10 years old after my dad got a new job. I knew nobody at my new school. I walked through school with my head held low, scared that I would never make friends and never connect with anyone at this new school. That was until someone took a chance on me. Can you guess who? Ding ding ding. Joseph Lee Burrow.

He was incredible from the start. Every chance we got, we were hanging out either with some other friends, or alone. We became such good friends that our parents had no other choice but to become best friends as well. From the start, our families used to joke around about how one day we would fall in love and get married. Of course we responded with, “ew, her? No, she’s my best friend,” or “ew, him? No, he’s my best friend.” I thought we would stay best friends forever, until I slowly started to realize that I was falling for my best friend. We stayed friends all the way until 9th grade when Joe finally confessed he had feelings for me.

All throughout high school we were together. We were inseparable. We were known as the ‘it couple’ of high school. Anywhere I went, Joe went, and anywhere Joe went, I went. We loved it that way, though. We never got sick of each other. We wanted to be in each other’s presence forever. We eventually won prom king and queen and obviously went to the same college. Right after our first year of college, when I finally turned 18, Joe proposed to me and we got married. We were so in love, even at a young age. When people said that true love or soulmates didn’t exist I wanted to say, “excuse me, speak for yourself.”

Everything was going right for so long, even through long distance when Joe went to LSU. It was hard, but we got through it and moved to Cincinnati right after the draft. My husband, the #1 pick in the draft. We were on top of the world. Everything was going our way. Shortly after the draft, I got pregnant. It was incredible. We were finally able to build the family we always wanted. One kid led to two, two led to three, and then finally we had our fourth child 5 months ago.

Everything was going right, until it wasn’t. After a few years, things started to fall apart for me. It was so incredibly hard to be in the spotlight. Not only was I supposed to maintain this image as the QB1’s wife, but I had to do it all while juggling work and kids. That’s when the anxiety came. Trying to uphold this image felt impossible and no matter how much Joe tried to reassure me, it just wasn’t enough.

I thought I could do it. I thought I could be with Joe while he lived out his dream, but I couldn’t anymore. It was too hard. It was too much pressure. The realization that I was falling out of love with my husband was heartbreaking and terrifying, but I wanted-no, needed-better for myself. Joe needed a wife who could endure all of those things that came with being married to a man in the NFL. I just wasn’t the right girl for him.

I sat on the couch with my hands in my lap, picking away at the skin until my fingers bled. I wiped the blood off on my pant leg while bobbing my knee up and down, up and down. So many Thoughts raced through my head, but I knew what I needed to do. All of a sudden, I heard Joe’s car pull into the driveway and knew that this was it. This would be the last time Joe would come home to his loving wife. This would be the last time Joe thought he was coming home to a woman who loves him.

I finally stood up while still ripping off the skin around my finger nails as the door opened up. Joe walked in a few steps and groaned loudly while throwing his bag on the couch. “Oh boy, today’s workout was tiring.” He chuckled and began to walk over to me, stretching his arms above his head. I gave him a small smile as he wrapped me in his arms. I wrapped my arms around him as a tear escaped, but I quickly wiped it away before he noticed.

Even now he still couldn’t tell anything was wrong. Was he really that oblivious? How Could he not tell that his own wife was miserable? When we pulled away, Joe glanced up at the stairs with a confused look on his face and asked, “where are the kids?” I stayed in place as he walked over to the stairs, waiting for the 3 of them to run down and give him a big hug. They usually did. It was the same thing every. Single. Day.

“Maisie is upstairs sleeping, but Dakota, Louie, and Georgia are at the sitters. Can we talk?” I asked him. With a hesitant shrug, Joe walked over to the kitchen, expecting dinner to be done and waiting for him like always. Don’t get me wrong, he loved me with his whole being. He loved our family with his whole being. But everyday was the same. He came home, said hi to me and the kids, ate and watched film. It was like I got no time alone with him. I craved that kind of love again. The love that consumed me. The love I felt before he let football come between us.

“Where’s dinner? I’m starving.” Joe said when he realized there was no dinner cooking yet. “I didn’t make dinner yet, can we talk first?” I asked Joe and followed right after him as he leaned on the counter. “I have to go watch some game film, but after I can go pick up some food.” He said with a smile. With a sigh, I looked down at the ground for a few seconds before dragging them up to Joe. “Joe, for the past 6 years, we haven’t been right…I don’t want to do this to you, but I want a divorce.” I said. I ripped the bandaid right off. I didn’t give myself time to change my mind and continue to be miserable. For the first time in a few years, I finally spoke my mind. It felt amazing.

Joe chuckled and walked over to the cupboard, grabbing out some potato chips. I heard the annoying ruffling of the bag before I heard him chewing. “Haha, so funny.” Joe laughed, thinking I was joking. “This isn’t a joke. Can we talk?” I asked. Joe glanced over at me with that same smile on his face as he shoved some more chips in his mouth. Still, he laughed like I was joking, going about his business. I bit the inside of my cheek as I continued to hear his annoying chewing in my ear. All of a sudden, I ripped the bag of chips away from him and slid them across the counter so he couldn’t reach them.

“This isn’t a joke.” I said. The smile on Joe’s face dropped immediately and he looked shocked. “What are you talking about?” He asked me in a nervous monotone way. I tried to stop the tears from rolling down my face, but I couldn’t. No matter how much I wanted a divorce and how much I was miserable living here with him, I still felt like I was going to be losing a part of me. Ever since I was 10 I’ve been with Joe, and now I wouldn’t. I didn’t know how I was going to continue my life without him, but I needed to. For my own sanity and wellbeing.

“I want a divorce Joe. I can’t do this anymore, I’m sorry.” I said. Joe was quick to answer, shocked at what I was throwing at him, “what do you mean? Everything is fine…” Joe said, trying to think of when I’ve shown that I was not okay with the way our relationship was going. I felt crushed at the fact that he couldn’t even tell that for a while-mostly the past few months-I’ve fallen out of love with him.

“No it’s not Joe. I can’t do this anymore.” I said. I tried to talk more, but Joe talked over me. “Why?” He asked me quickly and abruptly. “I can’t keep doing this-“ I started to say but he cut me off once again and said, “What do you mean this? What do I need to do?” I put both of my hands on the counter and drug my eyes up to look like him. “Everything, Joe. Everything. It’s exhausting. I thought I would be able to juggle a full time job, being a mom, and being married to an NFL player, but I can’t, I’m sorry.” I admitted to him.

It felt like a weight was being lifted off of my shoulders. For the first time in a long time, I was able to take a deep breath and let go of some anxiety and stress. “No, no, no,” Joe said to himself and then looked up at me with a painful look on his face, “you’re saying you don’t love me anymore?” My heart was crushed at the look on his face and how helpless he looked. The love of his life was telling him that she wanted to leave and he was in denial. “No, Joe. I don’t. Our crazy lives ruined that for us. I mean hell, we barely see each other. If you’re not at games, you’re at the facility or in a different state with friends while I’m at work or with the kids. I don’t deserve that and the kids don’t either.” I said.

Doing what I did, Joe leaned on the counter like he couldn’t stand up straight as tears streamed down his now rosy cheeks. “You signed up for that…don’t do this…we love each other.” He said. I let out a small sob, the emotions spilling over uncontrollably. I put my hand over my mouth and said, “I know I did, and I am so, so sorry for that, but I can’t do it anymore. I need a husband who is around more and is willing to sacrifice his job for his family.” I said. Joe walked closer to me while shaking his head, his face wet with tears and some snot from crying. I could barely look at his face. It pained me so much to see him like this. He was so despondent.

“You know I can’t do that.” He said simply, running his fingers through his long hair quickly. Oh that hair. I would miss that hair. “I know, and that’s why I have to leave. You don’t deserve a wife who no lon-no longer loves you.” I said, unable to get the sentence out without letting out a sob. It hurt me so much, but this was good. I needed to leave. I couldn’t stay. “Come on, don’t do this. I don’t understand. I love you more than anything.” Joe cried. I felt terrible, I did. For so long he went through life thinking nothing was wrong, and maybe I was good at hiding it, but he should’ve known. He should’ve been able to tell that his wife wasn’t happy with him or in love with him anymore.

“Listen to me, Joe. This life was great, don’t get me wrong. We were great…but football changed you and changed the way I feel about you. I want more out of this life than just being your second option.” I said. Joe looked up at me with a small scowl through the tears and said, “you were never my second option. Never. You know that.” He said. But it was a lie. I used to be his first option though, and I wish it were still that way, because this wouldn’t be happening if so. “Yes, yes I am. It started after your second year in the NFL, right after you tore your ACL. After that, me and the kids came second to your football career.” I said.

I scanned Joes face as he started to connect some of the dots and realize that after today, everything would change. Our lives would be so different after today. “I don’t hold anything against you, Joe, please understand that. It’s an impossible spot to be in, for both of us. But you deserve a person who is okay with being second to football, and I’m not.” I said. “Please don’t do this to me.” Joe said and looked up at me. We held eye contact for a few seconds, just scanning each other’s faces. I could tell Joe was searching my eyes for some sort of connection. For some sort of love. Maybe if he found that he could save this marriage, but he looked down at his hands when he found none. “It’s over, we’re over.” I said.

The Adrian Rogers Love Worth Finding Daily Devotional 17th November 2023 – Do You Have the Ability to Love Others?

TOPIC: Do You Have the Ability to Love Others? Sermon: 2283 The Moses Principle, Part 1 Pray Over This: “Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.” Ephesians 5:1-5

LOVE WORTH FINDING DEVOTIONAL – MESSAGE FOR TODAY.

Ponder This When a person has fellowship with God, it follows that he or she has the ability to love. There is nothing more debilitating, nothing more dulling, nothing more harmful to the ability to love than pornography. God wants you to love. But there are many things that are disguised in the world as love that are not. Pornography is not based on love. It destroys love. It is based on lust. What’s the difference between love and lust? Lust wants to get. Love wants to give. Pornography is based on lust. It looks at people as objects to gratify one’s selfishness. The Bible says we’re to love others as we love ourselves. You should have some love for yourself. And when you have love for yourself, then you’re going to have love for others. Because you’re going to want others to be treated as you want to be treated, according to your own self-respect. What are the treasures that we shouldn’t want to trade for anything? Number one, a clean heart. How wonderful to have a clean heart, to walk in the light, to have fellowship with God. Is any filth, any dirt, any pornography worth losing a clean heart? Number two is the ability to love. Don’t you want to be able to love people? Consider the treasure before you give into the trap. How has God grown your ability to love others? What are some things in your life that are holding back your ability to love others (such as pride, pornography, or self-seeking)? Practice This Confess to another Christian the struggles that are inhibiting your ability to love God and others. Read the full article

“Gabriel/Hawk Moth finding out Chat Noir is Adrien can go two ways: one he'll try to stop because his son is in danger (but Mayura will convince him of continue or something) OR him telling Adrien the whole "I'm doing this for our family" story and start making Adrien doubt if his father is "really a villain".

I think it’s extremely ironic Bo Burnham made an entire hour and a half special satirizing internet culture and that the majority of his songs from that special are used to make tik toks and Instagram reels.

Harry had the time to briefly wonder what on earth Malfoy was doing here, before Malfoy spoke. “Are you going to join me, Potter, or just stand there staring?” Harry very nearly fell backwards into another thorned bush. Sheepishly, he yanked at the Cloak, pulling it off and further messing up his hair as he did so. “How did you know I was there?” “You breathe as loud as a hippogriff,” Malfoy said, still not looking up at Harry. “And I don’t know of anyone else at Hogwarts with an Invisibility Cloak.” ❤️ Read on AO3

Going Steady

Summary: You struggle to move forward in your relationship with Iida, if only someone would say something...

Wordcount: 2283

A/N: All my Iida stories I’ve written so far have been based on my husband and my love story. He is exactly like Iida (with Midoriya Anxiety™) down to the hand gestures, he doesn't even realize he does it sometimes. So this is based on a true story, I’m still mad at him for doing this.

Nearly everyday, Iida would walk you home after work. Even if he was on patrol, his route would conveniently pass by your house. “Since we are both going in the same direction, we should walk together.”

You would bite your lip to try and hold back the big smile forming on your face every time he showed up. The whole way home, the two of you would talk about everything and anything. You can’t even remember half of conversations you had.

The excitement of going home for the day was no longer about the idea of wearing PJs and relaxing on your couch while watching terrible but oddly good dramas; it was about spending time with Iida. Sometimes you wouldn’t step into your apartment building for at least an hour. The two of you would sit on a bench, simply talking.

“Iida and I stopped at this dessert place yesterday to pick out a cake for his mother’s birthday and they were offering some delicious mochi-covered ice cream balls. You really should go.”

You were typing away on your computer; the monthly budget summary was coming up and Uraraka was helping you gather all of the property damage reports as you worked on the spreadsheet.

Uraraka sat down in front of your desk, flipping through paperwork. “Hmm, maybe I will on my day off. But I'm so jealous and happy that Iida is in a relationship.”

Your fingers froze. “Relationship?! With who?” Since when had this happened? He never told you!

“Uh, you?” Uraraka looked at you from behind the stack of paperwork on your desk with a raised eyebrow.

You? No. You wave a hand at her as you shake your head, going back to work. “Oh, no. We’re just really good friends. He doesn't see me like that.” As you typed, you mumble lowly to yourself, “Why do people keep saying that?”

There was a big heavy sigh from Uraraka. “Because it looks like the two of you are dating? You guys hang out every day; I see you two having lunch. And then he walks you home. He’s all you ever talk about.”

“I don’t talk about him that much…,” you pouted.

Holding up a hand, Uraraka started to list off more examples. “If you do anything it’s always ‘Iida and I’ or ‘I did this and Iida said’. Iida, Iida, Iida. You guys are practically glued to each other. Just date already.” She paused to smirk at you as she stood up to stretch. “Anyone can see the way the two of you look at each other and can tell there is something between you too. If you like him, go for it.”

Okay, yeah, you can see it. Doesn’t mean you liked someone pointing it out to you to your face. You leaned back in your chair, crossing your arms. “I don’t want to hear this coming from you. Starting to think you have a thing for people with green hair.”

“Shut up!” You snicker as the heroine ran out of your office, blushing.

You met with Iida after work just like every other day; the two of you walked beside each other in comfortable silence. Your mind couldn't help but begin to wander….

Damn you, Uraraka; now the thought is stuck in your head. Of course you would sometimes think about Iida in…that way. Okay, so maybe you would daydream about what it would be like to be called his girlfriend or get married or how many kids you would have (you want three and already have a list of possible names). So what if you were tempted to grab ahold of his hand while the two of you walked and how tantalizingly close his big, calloused hands would sway near you, sometimes brushing against yours. Maybe the image of kissing him goodnight every time he walks you to your door would cross your mind for a brief second before going into your home.

“Midoriya is in the hospital.” You were knocked out of your downward spiral of thoughts when Iida said the hero’s, or the walking-medical-bill as you liked to call him, name.

You giggled openly, imagining Deku in another cast. You wonder what he did this time. “Again?”

“Yes. Bakugo was screaming about it the entire time while in the waiting room, scaring the staff. Kirishima had to come help sedate him.” Of course; that’s so Ground Zero. The conversation continued to go on about all the antics that Iida has had to unfortunately witness over the years at UA with the same aforementioned three heroes, and Todoroki.

But you guys were interrupted by a sweet, elderly woman who was walking by. “Aw, it’s so nice to see you two walk home together. Such a nice young couple.”

Your throat tightened up; you didn’t know what to say. “Ah, I uh um….” Your tongue was completely tied. Luckily, Iida was able to say something. He quickly bowed to the woman respectfully as he spoke.

“Thank you ma’am for your kind words. But we are not in the kind of relationship that you are insinuating. Have a nice night, ma’am.” The two of you continued walking in silence; the conversation long forgotten.

“Hey, Iida?” You glanced at the bespectacled hero, biting the side of your lower lip as you waited for his attention to turn to you. “Do you ever think about…us…in that kind of relationship? I mean, that’s not the first time someone has thought we were a couple, so...”

“Oh.” He stops in front of your building, avoiding your eyes and clearing his throat against a closed fist. “I…ahem....sometimes I do.”

“Really?” You covered your face with your hands, cheeks warm and a giddy smile spreading on your face. “Me too…”

You heard him cough a few times. “Well, that’s a relief.”

You peeked at him through your fingers; he was blushing as much as you were. Before you could ask any more questions, his phone began to beep. “I need to go; Ingenium is being called about a situation. Goodnight ___, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He waved you goodbye before running off.

Entering your home, you leaned against the door, clutching your hands to your chest. Your heart was pounding rapidly. Did you both just confess? You’d both agreed that the two of you thought of each other as more than friends. You kicked off your shoes and coat, throwing yourself on your couch and hugging a pillow to your face as you squeal. Oh god, what’s going to happen tomorrow? What are you going to wear!??!?

For the rest of the night, you were digging through your closet for the perfect outfit, looking up hairstyles on Pinterest, and rehearsing the imaginary conversations you may have with Iida in your head.

But it turned out that all of that amping up was for not. The entire walk home was just like normal. Nothing new. He acted completely normal…did you dream that conversation? Did you get completely caught up in a fantasy? What the hell? Maybe he’s just shy. Okay, you can wait for him to be ready to talk. So you waited for a week.

And then another week. You’re pouting at your desk at work. For the first time, you refuse an invite to eat lunch with Iida, choosing to eat alone.

An entire month goes by and Iida is still acting like nothing had happened. That neither of you had admitted to thinking about each other romantically. You groan, stabbing at your sad salad. “What’s got you looking so down?” Cellophane spoke up from your doorway, walking in to hand you a fax.

“Just looking at Ground Zero damage reports.” It’s not entirely lie; this month was abnormally higher than usual.

Sero nodded. “Yeah, I can see that. There was that hostage situation and he kind of just, jumped in. No one was hurt…but the entire building came down. Mind if I eat with you?” He held up a bag from a convenience store. You motioned towards the chair across from you and he sat down, a smile spreading across his face.

It was nice; you don't often hang out with Sero. The conversation was light and new. You wouldn't mind becoming better friends with the tape hero. “I got an extra pudding, do you want it?”

“Sure.” He handed it to you but didn't let go of the sweet dessert when you tried to take it.

You looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He chuckled nervously, not making eye contact with you. “So, I was wondering if you would like to have dinner sometime? I wanted to ask before but I thought you were dating Iida; Uraraka told me that you guys weren’t though.” You blinked a few times. Oh. Oh. That caught you off guard. You didn't even have a chance to answer before Sero started walking away. “You don't have to answer right away; just, uh, think about it, yeah?”

You waited for him to be completely gone from your office to send Uraraka a “What the fuck?” text.

Later, as you were leaving work, you see the anti-gravity hero and storm up to her. You were about to give her a piece of your mind about Sero but froze when you saw who she was talking to.

“___, there you are!” Uraraka greeted you loudly and Iida turned to face you. “I heard from a little bird that someone asked you out today? What did you say?”

You narrowed your eyes at her. “I didn't answer them; he told me to think about it.”

Uraraka dramatically pressed her hands to her plump cheeks and turned to the turbo hero. “Oooh, what do you think Iida? Should she say yes or no?” You rolled your eyes; she’s so obvious...

Iida pondered for a moment, like he was seriously considering what your response should be. “If she really likes him, she should say yes?”

“What?” Both you and Uraraka gaped at him, completely baffled by his response.

He only shrugged as he pushed up his glasses, completely calm. “If you like him, say yes.”

You tried to swallow but your throat had gone dry. “Really? You would be okay with that?”

“If he makes you happy.”

“Really?”

“Yes?” Iida gave your a perplexed look, like he couldn't understand why you were getting upset. It felt like he was pushing you to see other people after you’d admitted to liking him! What the hell?! You were fuming. Instead of standing there listening to how you should date someone else, you stormed away. “Where are you going?”

Not evening turning to face Iida, you yelled back. “Home!” You ran out of the building and headed for home. Stupid Iida! Maybe you will say yes to Sero after all!

“___! Are you okay?” It was kind of silly to think you would be able to outrun Iida, but you still tried, huffing.

“I’m just peachy,” you snapped at him. He didn't say anything else as he followed you; for the first time in a long while, you managed to get home in ten minutes thanks to your anger-fueled speed walking. You stopped in front of your building and whipped your head back at him. Iida stumbled backwards as you glared at him. “Are you really telling me to go on a date with someone?”

Bewildered, he held up his hands in surrender. “Yes? If you want to.”

“But what about...” You take a deep breath and try to bite back the tears. “What about what you said? Did I dream about you telling me you thought of me romantically or did it really not mean anything?” You began to ramble, pacing back and forth.

Iida could only stand idly by, watching you having a small breakdown. “Um…”

“I don’t get you! You say something that makes me think you like me and then you push me to date someone else? Do I not matter enough to you?”

You sniffle, rubbing your eyes with the palm of your hands. You were so confused; did you misread his actions? Did you interpret what he said wrong? Is that why he’d said nothing for a month? Are you really just a friend?

Arms suddenly wrapped around you, stopping your pacing and pressing you into a hard chest. “Of course you matter. I just…don't know how to proceed? Romantic relationships have never been my forté, nor did I think you actually wished to pursue one with me. No one I’ve ever expressed interest in has ever expressed it back to me.”

You looked up at Iida, wiping away the last of your tears. “You’re dumb.”

“Now that’s just plain rude.” Despite his reprimanding you, there was a slight smile on his face.

You press your forehead back into his chest and mumble lowly only for him to hear. “I like you.”

He rests his chin on your head, mumbling back. “I…like you very much as well.”

“So what do we do now?”

He abruptly pushed you away from him and bowed at a 90-degree angle with a hand extended to you. “___! Please go steady with me!” You blinked at him in shock but then burst out laughing uncontrollably. You held onto your stomach as you hunched over from laughing so hard. Iida looks up from his position, face completely flushed. “Ah! Do not laugh; that is not good for my self-esteem.”

“I’m sorry. It’s just who says ‘go steady’ anymore? Say go out with me like a normal person, not like my grandmother!” You giggle at his pouting face before throwing yourself back into his arms, hugging him again. “Okay, please take care of me!”

“Always.”
