Author's Note: This is a continuation of the Josh Valentine's Day post from last year (even though it wasn't posted on Valentine's Day because I joined Wattpad later than that), so make sure to read that before this one!

"Do we have to?" you sighed, staring down at your shoes.

"It's Valentine's Day, don't you want to go out and do something nice together?"

"I like spending time with you, but aren't you going to miss our tradition of sitting at home and watching action movies? We can just go out for our anniversary tomorrow."

Josh walked over and grabbed your hands, slowly pulling you up so that you were standing.

"Too bad the reservations I made are for tonight."

You laced your fingers with Josh's and stuck out your bottom lip, "Reservations can be cancelled."

Josh reached up and placed a hand under your chin, tilting your head up just a bit to look at him, "We're going out to dinner."

He placed a kiss on your lips. It was like he knew exactly how to get you to do what he wanted.

"Fine, but can we at least watch a movie once we get back?"

"I think I could be talked into that."

"I like this shirt," you said, resting a hand on his chest. "It's nice to see you dressed up."

"I could say the same about you. I don't get to see you out of my sweatshirts that often."

"It's your lucky day then, isn't it?"

"Every day is my lucky day when I'm with you."

You scrunched up your nose, "Ok, this is getting too cheesy for me."

Josh laughed and pressed another kiss to your cheek.

"We need to get going, anyway. Otherwise we'll miss our reservation."

"Oh no!" you said sarcastically. "What would we ever do instead?"

Josh sighed and wrapped an arm around your waist. You quickly leaned over and grabbed your coat from where it was thrown over the back of the couch.

"Ready?" Josh asked.

"Ready."

"This is where I was meant to be," you grinned as you returned from the kitchen with ice cream in your hand.

Josh was sitting on the couch, still wearing his button down shirt and jeans. You had been quick to change into his clothes as soon as you two had returned home from dinner.

"That was fast," Josh laughed as you ripped the plastic off the little tub.

"I've been looking forward to this moment all night."

Josh's expression faltered for a moment, but you brushed it off as nothing.

"I'm going to go get changed."

You watched Josh walk out of the room, admiring him as he went. Once he had disappeared into his room, you redirected your attention back to your ice cream.

"What movie do you want to watch?" you asked as Josh sat back down on the couch.

He had changed into a loose t-shirt and basketball shorts, an outfit that he never failed to look amazing in. As soon as he had made himself comfortable, you scooted over and snuggled up as close to him as you could muster with your ice cream.

"I hadn't really thought about it," he laughed, wrapping an arm around you.

"Infinity War? There's nothing like having your soul crushed on Valentine's Day."

"Sure, if that's what you want."

You set your ice cream down on the table and turned to face him, "Are you feeling alright?"

He shrugged, "Yeah."

"Come on, Josh, we've known each other for almost five years. I know something's going on."

You reached up and ran a hand along his cheek. It made him smile every time you did it.

"No, it's fine. I don't want to make things weird."

You pulled your hand away, "Why would it make it weird?"

"Well, I-," he sighed. "Did you enjoy dinner?"

"Dinner? Of course I did. The food was good and I got to spend time with you and just enjoy your company."

"Are you sure? I feel like I just dragged you out of the house when you didn't want to go. It kind of feels like I did this really nice thing and you didn't really care."

You changed how you were sitting so that you could face Josh a little bit better, "Oh, Josh, I'm so sorry. I never meant to make you feel like that. I know I made a fuss about going out, but I had a really good time. I got to see you all dressed up and we had a chance to just talk about whatever we wanted without any interruptions. I couldn't have asked for a better Valentine's Day."

Josh seemed relieved by your answer, "That's good to hear."

"I will always be thankful for all the stuff you do for me."

Josh tightened his grip so that he could hug you. You felt bad that you had ever made him doubt his Valentine's Day plans, but you were glad that it hadn't caused a huge argument.

"Do you want any?" you asked as you grabbed your ice cream from the table once again.

Josh shook his head a little and laughed, "Sure."

You got up and grabbed another spoon from the kitchen so that you and Josh could share. He was quick to pull you close to him as soon as you took a seat back on the couch.

"Hey," you giggled as he pulled you into his side. "I don't want to accidentally get ice cream on you."

"Wouldn't be the worst thing you've spilled on me."

"That was one time!" you whined. "I was just trying to bring you a nice smoothie while you were practicing. How was I supposed to know that you were going to be coming around the corner at the same time?"

"It's ok, it's a good memory." Josh pressed a kiss to your forehead.

"Is there chocolate on my forehead now?"

Josh rubbed at a spot on your forehead and smiled, "Not anymore."

"Good. Now why don't we start the movie?"

Josh grabbed the now empty ice cream tub and carried it back into the kitchen. While he was off the couch, you took advantage of the space to lay down and make yourself comfortable.

"What are you doing there?" he asked.

You turned to look over your shoulder, trying your best to look as innocent as possible. Josh was looking at you with one eyebrow raised and the slightest hint of a smile on his face.

"Laying here," you grinned.

"Are you going to leave space for me?"

"I would never."

"Fine," Josh shrugged.

You watched as he walked around the couch and sat on your legs. After a moment of contemplation, he laid on you completely and wrapped his arms around you.

"Comfortable?" you laughed. Josh nodded against your chest. "Good, I'm glad."

"I like being close to you," he mumbled.

You rubbed a hand long his back, "I like being close to you too."

"I'm kinda glad that I told you how I felt a year ago."

"Yeah," you laughed. "I'm kinda glad you did too."

Josh adjusted himself so that he could look at you from where he was laying. You remembered a day a month ago or so when you had told him you would never get tired of looking at his eyes. That was still true.

"And um," Josh averted his gaze for a moment before locking eyes with you again. "I just wanted to tell you that... I love you."

You were so taken aback that the only thing you could think to do was pull him into a kiss. He rested a hand on the side of your face and pulled you deeper into the kiss. There were too many emotions floating around your head for you to be able to think straight.

"I love you too," you said once you finally pulled away.

"Was it too cliche for me to tell you on Valentine's Day?" he smiled.

You grabbed your phone to check the time. The clock read 12:00 on February 15th.

"How do you keep doing this?"

"Magic, I guess," he laughed.

"Happy one year," you said as you brushed his hair back from his forehead.

"Happy one year."

He laid back down on your chest and you wrapped your arms around him once again.

"I love you."

"I love you too, even if you're a dork sometimes."

You sighed, "I can accept that."
