hi!!
since joe doesn’t have tiktok,
imagine his girlfriend filming him while doing a trend and him so being so clueless.
HE'S JUST KEN !
i.
You told Joe to stand with a cushion in front of the camera and though he had no idea why, he did. Because you told him to.
"What's going on?" he asked, watching as you set up the camera.
You were backstage of a show he was prepping for, hour or so before he was set to take the stage. As he liked to, he relaxed with cups of tea to ease his voice, not a big crew around him, just you. His only person.
Typically you sat together, talked or read or he ran through some song choices he was thinking about and other things he was working on.
Today, you changed it up.
You stood next to him, with a cushion in your own hand.
Joe looked around, confused but with a smile. "What?"
"Just listen."
Joe squinted at the camera, regretting his glasses left on the side.
"Who was interested first?"
Before Joe could even register the question your pillow hit him in the chest with a soft whack.
He stumbled back at the force un-accounted for and looked back to you as you laughed. His jaw was agape even as your knees buckled from your force of laughter. "What the he-"
"Who said I love you first?"
Joe at least had a second to prepare, holing up his pillow before yours hit him again. He heard the question, he got the gist of what was going on and wasn't going to deny it. He remembered the picnic in central park he took you on when he first said I love you.
"Who is more protective?"
Both of your cushions went up and hit into each other, the force stumbling you both.
"You so are!" you argued.
"Yeah but so are you!" he said.
You hit him with the cushion again as he cowered in laughter.
"Who cleans more?"
Joe hit you.
"Who eats the most?"
Joe was ready before the question even ended he. He spun and whacked you in the ass with the pillow, throwing you back onto the sofa. "Oh shit!" he laughed.
The both of you were in fits of laughter. The camera picking up on you lying on the sofa, arm over your stomach with laughter while Joe loomed over you, laughing.
"Who spends the most money?"
Joe ignored the question, laying a hand on your back.
You tried to lift the pillow to hit him but he grabbed your wrist and put it down.
"No I don't!"
"Who is most likely to start an argument?"
Joe straight up dropped the cushion. He held his hands up in surrender, not willing to take the hit or make it. Maybe it was the two years you'd been together but neither of you started arguments. Who wanted to get into arguments?
Your own cushion was clutched to your chest as you were still laughing, trying to get up but Joe not letting it happen.
"Who falls aslee-"
The audio kept going and the last shot the camera got was Joe falling on top of you on the sofa in his dressing room, throwing the cushion at the camera and plunging the tikok into to darkness.

ii.
When you started posting Joe, you should've expected the fallout. The comments of 'hard launch of the century' or people aghast you were even together even if you hadn't been trying to keep it a secret. You also weren't trying to make it public-public.
But Joe liked it.
He liked boasting. His friends knew that. A hand always on each other when hanging out, if you were going out he liked to give you a hat of his to wear. And if nobody could see that love they could hear it in his songs.
So, you went again. A harmless little prank.
Your phone was in hand, the record button hit as you flopped next to your boyfriend on your sofa in your NYC apartment. On instinct, Joe's arm went around your shoulder.
You started with casual chat.
Then: "Oh my god, I forgot to tell you."
The camera picks up on the immediate interest in his face.
"Tell me, tell me," he said, abandoning his own task on his phone.
"I found Joe Quinn on Raya."
Joe didn't even think. He laughed, pushing back his hair. He leant closer toward you. "Did you? Did you really?"
"Yeah," you said with your own amused grin.
"But wasn't he- I thought he was dating-" Joe began, his head leant in hand as he dug his elbow into the sofa, watching you.
You shook your head, trying to keep back your laughter. You didn't want any other names to be involved in a Tiktok that would be posted online. You'd just picked Joe because he was yours and Joe's friend and you knew he was recently single. "No."
You watched your boyfriend think about it and for a second, you thought you were caught out.
"Did you see the picture released of him as George Harrison?" he asked instead.
You laughed but nodded. "Yes."
Joe was momentarily confused why it was so funny but moved past it. "Wait can I see the photo's he-" the camera picked up on the very moment he realised. "Wait, Raya?"
You pitched forward with a laugh, as Joe laughed too, though more confused.
Joe chuckled. "Why are you on Raya?"
"I'm not."
"You're not?"
You picked your phone up and showed him the Tikok you were filming.
Joe rolled his eyes playfully and tugged you in closer. "Oh my god-"

Joe was so ready for the gossip
Never have I ever wanted to gossip with joe more
The panic and then he realised
Isn't this so distasteful, his ex literally cheated on him
It was a prank
I just know at the end of the day he's so ready to gossip
They're so cute together stfu
iii.
When you saw how much the people liked to see it, or some who hated to see the two of you in love and happy, you didn't want to stop.
Just like your boyfriend with his film camera you were there with your phone, taking pictures or videos of him at any time of day.
The two of you couldn't get enough.
So when your fans got a notification- you'd posted another Tiktok- they were excited to see what it could have been.
They found you, in the lap of Joe's. It was clearly Joe. His arms were around you with drumsticks in hand as he played the drums, tapping around, with you in his lap. Your chest to his.
It got over a million like in twenty-four hours and everyone was obsessed.

Is it in?
I don't know who I want to be more
I feel like I shouldn't be watching
This is what I pay wifi for
GET IT! GET IT!

Or another harmless little prank here and there. One where you wiped off a kiss he gave you when you were recording a Vogue get ready with me. It was clipped from the Youtube video and did the rounds on Tiktok.
Your 'prank' didn't work however as he only plunged the camera into darkness by blocking the both of you out of view to give you a kiss you couldn't so easily rub off.
Or another where you were cooking and dragged Joe into view, naming him your 'current boyfriend' to which he only shrugged and corrected you with one word.
"Husband, but sure."
Which then sparked a huge marriage rumour. You were not married. (Or at least not yet)
But you tried again, all for your own enjoyment. Where some didn't understand if Joe wanted to be on Tiktok or not, it was clear all he wanted was to be with you. Around you. Involved with you and your life however that presented itself.
You had your phone set up, acting as if you were using it as a mirror while you got yourself ready for the day.
Joe was pottering around behind you, throwing on different hats till he found the one he wanted for the day, getting a bag and his guitar to go to the studio. "Okay baby, I love you, I'll see you later," he said, pressing his lips atop your head so he didn't ruin the makeup you were doing.
He was on his way out the door when you called back.
"See you soon!"
The camera could just see Joe half way out the door, hands till holding it open as he looked back.
"Okay, love you," he said, trying it as casual as he could again.
"Bye!"
Joe waited a second, wondering if maybe there was a delay. "Babe?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"I know, i'll see you tonight."
Joe looked back and saw the camera. He stared at it blankly as he understood what you were doing. He flexed his muscles, showing his biceps to the camera before he went back to being 'serious.'
You watched him through the camera as he leant his guitar on the wall and headed over to you. He leant over you and gently and playfully cupped your chin, getting you to look at him.
"Say it," he said through his teeth playfully with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
"I love you," you chuckled.
Joe's face lit up in a grin. "Love you too, I'll see you tonight." He took his time, his lips against yours sweetly before he left for the day.
Nobody could ever doubt the love you had was anything other than true.
