24 Days to Love - Joe Sugg x Reader

0.1

Day 1 - 09:02am
"God damn if you don't shut that off in the next 10 seconds -"

"Is that a challenge I hear?"

A scoff, then a lunge and a miss - followed by a notorious chuckle. You groan not awake enough yet to leave the warmth of your bed.

"It's 9am Joe you're being ridiculous" you cry out putting your pillow over your head, it was too early for you to be dealing with his annoying antics.

"But Y/N it's the first day of vlogmas! And you promised you would help me feel Christmassy this year" he exclaims turning up the infamous Christmas classic that is "Jingle Bells". Trust him to play the cheesiest song available.

You groan inwardly remembering the flippant promise you made back in August  when the pair of you plus Zoe and Alfie had watched back his somewhat pathetic vlogmas attempt from the previous Christmas. It had been when Zoe had been showing you some decorations she had found in at a little shop in London that Joe walked in complaining he never felt festive anymore. He then presented you both with maybe 6  videos he had managed to scrape together from the little parts he did manage to catch on camera last year.

It had been then the promise had been made to make his next Christmas unforgettable - and although it had been brought up a couple times in a joking manner you believed he had forgotten.

"Okay I'm up but I'm not down for these early morning starts becoming a regular thing" You warn him sitting up slowly rubbing your eyes, "Why did I ever think giving you a spare set of keys to my apartment was a good idea?" you huff under your breath as you get up to change. You pad over to your wardrobe and pull out a pair of black jeans and a cute Christmas jumper you bought a couple weeks ago when you went shopping in London with Caspar. Joe gave it a look then looks past it, into your wardrobe where there were various other festive jumpers hung up. Zoe had ordered some off Asos for her videos and she snuck a couple extra into her basket for you. She hadn't asked for any money for them but you made sure she got it, despite her protests.

"Look we either do this properly or not at all" you say to Joe walking past him to the bathroom.

"Sure but I mean how many do you need?" He questions dramatically before pulling out his camera. He's about to press record when he has an idea. You then watch in amusement as he steps into your wardrobe. You shake your head before going into the bathroom closing the door behind you.

You change and decide on some light makeup whilst listening to Joe start his vlog.

"Mor- Wait guys it seems I have woken up in the christmas jumper world of  Narnia and you know what that means? Oh yes vlogmas is back and this time we're doing it good and proper!", he had a ridiculous accent on that you couldn't help but roll your eyes at, "Ain't that right Y/N!" he calls. You choose to ignore him as you are still sleepy as hell.

"Y/N! Come 'ere and explain what we're doing today!"

You sigh setting your makeup brush down before re entering the bedroom. He's out of your wardrobe now thank god, it's a mess and it's not like you prepare for random vloggers to film it - let alone actually film from within it.

"Catching up on lost sleep" you deadpan glaring at your best friend, "A certain Sugg woke me up at 9am - what kind of person does that?" you add folding your arms across your chest. Your mood was slowing improving as you became more awake, plus the plans the pair of you had for today was one of your favourite festive activities. It was understandable you couldn't help but show excitement.

"Come on Y/S/N that's not the spirit" he teases sensing you were close to forgiving him. Besides you weren't one to hold a grudge, just one who complains in the moment.

"Alright, alright" you smile looking into the camera, "We're going on a tree hunt!" you exclaim for the sake of the viewers. It still felt strange to talk into a camera, even though you had been in many a vlog with your friends.

"You heard it here first! - Also in case you didn't know my sister's Christmas range came out in stores last week for you to get your hands on. Any recommendations Y/N?" Joe asks, directing the camera back to you. You were already on the move beckoning him to follow you through your apartment.

"I feel like this is MTV Cribs" you chuckle as he follows you into the main living area of the apartment where your favourite Zoella product was sitting on the side, "This" you say picking up the gingerbread scented reed diffuser, "Is heaven on earth".

You hold it out for Joe to smell and he immediately nods, "Yep this scent is a winner guys". He shuts off his camera then and sticks it back into his bomber jacket pocket, "I have a surprise for you to make up for waking you up" he says nudging my side with his elbow.

"It's in the kitchen" he announces allowing you to pass by him in a dramatic motion.

You wander into the kitchen and almost scream in delight as you see the familiar packaging of your favourite sweet treat.

"Okay you're forgiven!" You exclaim taking out one of the snacks greedily and taking a bite out of it. You hum in content whilst Joe searches for your bag. He comes back 5 minutes later to let you know it was hanging up by the door. I mean you knew you put it in a sensible place, just not where exactly that place was.

You mumble a thanks through a mouthful of food and go to put your photography camera in it as well as a pair of gloves. You were a full time photographer - although the good pay meant you didn't need to work as often as you did, you did it because you enjoyed it. The type of occasion generally ranged from wedding to informal photo shoot. A large part of your job was dealing with the people under Gleam management, thanks to Joe putting in a good word for you. You were needed down there in the early afternoon to take some shots of Zoe's products for the team to work with on social media. Therefore the plan was to go and choose a christmas tree with Joe who would then be in charge of organising someone to take it back to your apartment. You would then be picked up by Conor who had offered a lift to the HQ building when you had all been together at the apartment he shared with his brother Jack and Josh. You'd rang him last night to check it was still alright for him but it turns out it works quite well as he was meeting up with someone anyway.

"Okay Joe I'm ready to go, lets kick off vlogmas" you call standing by the door waiting to lock the door after him.

He appears leaves the apartment seemingly talking to himself - reminding himself to do something later. Ignoring him you lock up and slip the key securely into your pocket.
