As time went by, Joe and you were already living together casually, both of you got along well, your relationship was almost platonic, even though you two are actually dating, but now you had to deal with his somewhat distant behavior, since he had just had surgery to remove a wisdom tooth, so he was a bit uncomfortable, and he showed it with his cold and serene side
Recently, it was almost midnight, and you receive a message on your cell phone, it came from Joe, asking if you wouldn't mind coming to pick him up, since today was a long day, and since Joe was still recovering from the anesthesia from the surgery, he couldn't make much effort, so you agreed
In less than three hours, you parked the car in front of the McDonald's where Joe works, and when you enter there, you find him serving his last customer, and when the customer leaves, he finally lets out a small sigh of relief in silence, not being aware of your presence yet. (Note: Joe was shirtless, it was a request from his boss, as customers kind of loved admiring his toned, muscular torso)
