IN THE TALL GRASS (2019) dir. Vincenzo Natali

[spittingoutthebloodandscreaming]

''My Chemical Romance was on Conan. They had rings in their lips and eyebrows, their hair done up in spikes, but beneath the white pancake makeup and black lipstick they looked like a collection of chubby kids who had probably been in their high school marching band a few years earlier. They leaped around, falling into each other, as if the stage beneath them were an electrified plate. They played frantically, pissing themselves with fear. Jude liked them. He wondered which of them would die first.''

-Heart-Shaped box, Joe Hill.

Christmas in New York - J. Hill (Blue Bloods)

Requested: yes

summary: it's your first christmas in new york and joe wants it to be perfect except his job can be unpredictable sometimes.

I stood outside the skating rink in Central Park, watching people skate around in a circle as I waited for Joe to meet me here. This was my first Christmas in New York and I had been taking everything in and loving every second of it and Joe vowed to make it even more special, but sometimes his job pulled him away from things and I was beginning to suspect that this is what happened tonight since he hadn't responded to any of my texts.

I checked my phone one more time before before I texted Joe and told him that I was heading back to my apartment.

Joe was one of the first people I met when I moved to New York after I got my dream job as a Labour and Delivery Nurse here and we instantly clicked. We started seeing each other regularly at our local coffee shop which eventually led us to start dating and it had been nothing but wonderful. I understood his job was important and crime never stopped just like he understood that sometimes I had to cancel our plan to stay with a labouring mother so I wasn't mad but I was starting to get cold so I grabbed a cab back to my apartment and headed inside.

I made myself a cup of hot chocolate and curled up under a blanket on the couch and put on a cheesy Hallmark movie.

I woke up to someone knocking on my door and I furrowed my eyebrows as I sat up and saw sunlight peeking through my curtains. What time is it?

I grabbed my phone which sat on the coffee table and my eyes widened when I realized we were the next morning. I quickly pushed myself up off the couch and walked over to the door and pulled open revealing a very tired looking Joe.

"Im so sorry."

I chuckled.

"Crime doesn't stop just because I want to go stroll around New York City and look at Christmas lights? Who knew?"

"You're not mad?"

I shook my head.

"Not in the slightest. Come in, I'll make you some coffee."

Joe smiled as he walked into my apartment and kicked off his dirty boots by the front door before he followed me to the kitchen. He took his leather jacket off and drapped it on the back of the couch before he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist and laid his head down on my shoulder.

"What about tonight?"

"Im working the night shift."

Joe sighed.

"I really wanted to make this happen for you."

I nodded as I turned the coffee maker on before I turned around and slipped my arms around Joe's neck.

"There is still two weeks before Christmas you can still make this happen you know that right?"

He nodded and smiled.

"You're perfect you know that?"

I smiled.

"So I've been told."

A week and a half went by before Joe and I had the same night off and he really made the most of it. He showed up to my place at 2 in the afternoon and that's when our crazy busy day started.

From Christmas shopping to ice skating to ending our night with a carriage ride around Central Park, I had to say this was one of the best day's I've had in a long time.

"Thank you for today Joe, it was amazing."

I smiled.

"You're amazing. You deserve all this and more."

"You're pretty great too."

Joe chuckled as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pressed a soft kiss to my temple. The words "I love you" lingered on the tip of my tongue but Joe must of read my mind because he shocked me by saying it first.

"I love you."

I was so stunned that I forget how words work but the worried look on Joe's face made me snap back into reality.

"I know it's soon but..."

"Say it again."

"I love you."

I smiled.

"I love you too Joe Hill."

ONE ETERNAL CHRISTMAS EVE

Joe Fucking Hill: Joe Hill x Reader

Tagging: @kmc1989 @impossibleblizzardstudentposts @madisonbroxson1 @baconeggndcheez  @queenofbooksandneverland 

Companion piece to:

Good Girl (NSFW) - You're not always such a good girl.

When it gets out that Joe is NYPD royalty, his entire world falls apart despite how much he tries to pretend it doesn’t. He puts on a brave face, ignoring the snide remarks from his CO and the detectives he used to call his friends until the pressure builds and he finally erupts one morning when McGinty calls him a narc. He doesn’t even remember throwing the first punch, only the sensation of the skin splitting on his cheek from the ring the other man wears.

“I don’t know who I am anymore.” He tells you as he sits in your kitchen, clutching an icepack to his cheek.

“I know who you are.” You tell him, your fingertips ghosting along his jaw as you tip his chin up so he can meet your gaze. “You’re Joe fucking Hill.”

He smiles then because the way you say it, it’s as if you’ve never been so certain of anything in your entire life. His hand comes to rest on your hip, his thumb chasing over the slim sliver of skin that’s on display between your tank top and NYPD sweats.

“You’re my port in the storm you know?” He murmurs as he takes away the ice pack. The swelling is starting to go down but the bruising is starting to splinter across his skin in purple hues. “My quiet space when the noise gets too loud.”

His arm loops around your waist, drawing you down into his lap and your forehead comes to rest against his. The scent of eucalyptus floods his senses as he breaths you in, his shoulders finally starting to relax.

This whole thing with the Reagans has completely displaced him. When he submitted his information for the DNA test he never dreamed that it he’d be part of a legacy, he just wanted to know more about the father his mother would never talk about. He wasn’t prepared for the fall out, the impact to his career, the disruption of his life.

The only thing that’s stayed steady throughout this whole thing has been you. You’ve listened to his rants about his mother, his confusion over his sudden abundance of family, his devastation over the loss of this father, the man he never knew. You’re the only person who truly knows and understands who he is because he sure as shit doesn’t anymore.

“So Joe fucking Hill huh?” He says as you take the icepack from his hand and place it back on his cheek. He winces at the sensation, his hand coming to rest on yours, clasping it to his face, grounding him.

“Yea.” You say, your lips brushing over his and Joe, he just melts into that kiss. “Joe fucking Hill.”
