"Troye, what are we supposed to do?" Connor cried, pacing back and forth in the living room of his house.
They had just gotten home from just about the craziest day ever. Last night, Connor had flown to Florida, leaving Troye behind in L.A, to a YouTube convention called Playlist Live. This morning, Troye had traveled across the country too, for the same convention.
They spent all of Saturday meeting fans, and then flew back home to L.A. on Saturday night. When they got back home, and opened up their laptop to wade into the ocean of the internet, 99% of what they were tagged in was proof.
Proof of what, you ask? Their relationship. Troye and Connor had been dating for almost a year now, and still nobody knew. But today, some teenage girl(so it could be just about any of their fans) posted a picture that she took of them on Tumblr.
But, in the picture, they're kissing. Like, full on kissing.
"Troye! What do we do? It's real proof this time, this has never happened before, and we're not ready-" Troye cuts Connor off by getting up off of the couch and giving his boyfriend a hug from behind.
"Troye..." Connor trails off, turning around to face Troye. Troye kept his arms draped around Connor's waist loosely, and Connor raised his arms to set them on Troye's shoulders. He leaned his head into the crook of the younger boy's neck.
"I'm not ready to be publicly dating someone yet, Tro," he whispers into his boyfriend's ear. Troye pulls away, and falls onto the couch. He motions for Connor to sit next to him. "I agree. If we want it to be personal, it should be. But, everybody is already figuring it out. They are like freaking detectives. We have other personal things that we can keep secret, Con. I feel like it might be time to tell everyone officially about our relationship before the fangirls blow it out of proportion."
Connor thinks it over in his mind. "I guess..." he gives in. "But should we make a video about it, or what's the most professional way to go about this?" Connor ponders.
Troye thinks for a bit, then stands up, and gives his boyfriend a pat on the shoulder. Troye walks into the bedroom they had been sharing recently. Connor follows him with his eyes confusededly, and as Troye walks back in holding his camera and tripod, Connor figures it out.
"Are we gonna make a video together?" Connor asks him. "You read my mind," Troye says sweetly while setting up his camera next to Connor's pre-set-up lights. As he turned the expensive lighting on, Connor stood up and sat back down in front of the camera.
Troye pressed record on the camera, and soon joined Connor. Connor took a deep breath, "Wait," he stalls, and turns to look the Australian boy. Connor stares into his beautiful blue eyes that are the color of the ocean on a clear, sunny day. "Tro, what other secrets do we have? This is basically revealing everything!" Connor exclaims.
Troye leans in closer to his boyfriend, "Calm down, baby. Con, it's okay. I'm sure we have other private aspects, like... your middle name, hmm?" Troye consoles. "But-" Connor is cut off by Troye leaning in and grabbing the sides of his face. Connor could feel Troye's heavy breath against his mouth. Just as the longing became unbearable, Troye's lips met Connor's. The warmth of his mouth sent a current running through Connor's body. Connor threw his arms around Troye's neck as he lost himself in Troye's warm breath and soft lips.
And just like that, it was over. Troye pulls away, separating their lips, but they could both still feel an electrical charge in between them.
Troye whispers to Connor, "Know how much I love you."
Connor blinks slowly and responds, "I love you too, Tro." Troye pulls away and just before they start talking for the video says, "Baby, exactly how much we love each other will still be our little secret." He knew exactly what to say, and Connor placed his hand over his boyfriends, and they started the video with rosy cheeks.
