watching you • joe burrow

heart

"and all at once you are the one i have been waiting for, king of my heart."

the bengals beat the dolphins 27-15. they wore their white bengal outfits for the first time this season, they looked nice.

it was a thursday night game so it didn't end until around 11 and with conferences and everything joe wouldn't be him until after midnight. grace waited up for him though.

"you didn't have to wait up for me, gracie." joe said as he walked into their house and set his keys on the table by the door.

"i wanted to." grace replied yawning as joe gave her a kiss on the head.

"really?" joe said with a chuckle considering she just yawned. that made joe yawn. "you made me yawn!"

"sorry!" grace said laughing putting her hands up in defense. "go shower, you stink." she said jokingly as joe dropped his jaw.

"ouch, gracie." joe replied.

"i'm only telling the truth!" grace said with a laugh as joe walked began to walk upstairs before he turned around.

"i forgot." joe said making grace have a face not confusion. joe proceeded to spin her, dip her, and give her a kiss.

"always with the dramatics." grace said once joe turned her back upright.

"did you really expect anything different from me?" joe asked as he walked upstairs to take a shower.

the smile grace had on her face didn't leave as joe went upstairs.

"you clean now?" grace asked as joe joined her in bed after a literal hour shower.

"yes." joe said with a smile as he began to lay down.

"what are you doing!" grace said causing joe to stand back up.

"uh, laying down?" joe asked.

"your hair is still wet." grace replied.

"i always go to bed with wet hair, gracie. i thought you knew that." joe said.

"do you know how bad that is for you? come here." grace said leading joe to the bathroom. she plugged in her hair dryer.

"are you blow drying my hair?" joe asked.

"yes i am." grace said looking at him through the mirror. "going to bed with wet hair isn't good, it causes hair damage."

"i didn't think that was so important to you." joe said with a chuckle as grace blowed dried his hair. his hair was short so it didn't take long.

"close your eyes." grace said once she finished blow drying his hair.

"why?" joe asked.

"do you trust me?" grace said putting her hand on her hip. joe huffed and closed his eyes.

grace proceeded to take his hair and put it in little pigtails.

"okay," grace said with a smile looking at what she just did. "open."

joe's mouth dropped. "are you kidding?" he asked laughing.

"what, you think you look stupid?" grace replied.

"no, i look amazing." joe said giving grace some sass, jokingly. "i am eating this up." joe said posing different ways in the mirror. "i'm slaying."

"whatever you want, bud." grace says patting joe's shoulder and goes to lay down.

"bud?" joe says tilting his head, following her. "i thought we were far past 'bud'."

"maybe not." grace says with a laugh as she lays down.

"i see how it is." joe says as she lays down turning away from grace which caused grace cuddle joe, taking the title of being a big spoon which was very difficult because, well, joe is a lot bigger than her.

"this is difficult." grace says struggling to cuddle joe. he chuckles before turning over and wrapping his arm around grace as she laid her head on his chest. "better?"

19-17 ravens. they lost.

"we were so close." joe says with a huff sitting down on the couch next to grace.

"it's okay, joe. you play them again week 18, you'll win." grace said.

"i'm so tired." joe saying yawning.

"when are you not tired, joey?" grace said with a laugh.

"i'm not tired when pigs can fly." joe says as he laid his head in grace's lap. grace started playing with his hair.
