I don't even realize that I am holding my breath as I drive until I find myself in the parking lot of the airport. I drive around to find a parking spot but miss a few good spots because my mind is staying in other places. I don't know why but this was giving me so much anxiety. It didn't feel real that I was meeting him yet but still I was here now and there was no backing out. He had told me that he would cancel the flight after we ended stream but I told him it was fine and it was a funny bit which was followed by him teasing me about it.

Eventually I find a rather good spot and I grab my vlogging camera before getting out of the car. I feel my hands shake as I move through the crowds of people with my mask up since there is still the pandemic going on and I don't want to get sick. My heart races in my chest as I pull out my phone and check where I am supposed to be meeting Boomer.

"Hey," I jump a little when I feel a hand on my shoulder from behind and I spin around. I look up at him and feel my breath catch in my throat when I meet the pretty eyes of the person who I had stayed up so many nights with.

"Oh my god," I say and quickly wrap my arms around him. Boomer stops for a second with a small laugh and he hugs me back as well. I hide my face in his chest and we stand there for a minute with the groups of people walking around, easily moving past us and not affected by the two of us meeting for the first time. "Hi." I eventually mutter out and he doesn't let go of my hug as I feel my face brighten.

"And," Boomer brings his hand up to my hair and moves it out of my face as I look up at him with a smile and I couldn't see due to his mask but his eyes gave away the fact that he was smiling too. "You said you weren't excited to meet me." He teases me and I roll my eyes at how dumb he was being.

"I never said that." I laughed lightly, pulling away from him and we start walking. We walk through the crowds of people through the air port towards my car and the early morning air hits us as we step outside. We both pull down our masks and I take a small breath.

"Mhm," Boomer hums as I stand on my toes to see what was going on around in the parking lot to try and find where my spot is. I look over to see that he was watching me and I feel my face turn pink as I start to walk again. "So are we vlogging this?" He asks me, holding off on teasing me and when I look up I understand why. His face had turned just as pink, if not more then mine.

"Yep!" I nod a little feeling better and maybe a little more cocky when I see that but keep that to myself as I open the camera, turning it on again for the second time this morning. "I've started early this morning too." I tell him as I mess with the settings. I had recorded a little bit earlier in the morning just to make sure that the camera was good and I done an opening of sorts for the vlog which was to come. I press the recording button and center it on us as we walk. "Hey guys!" I grin happily and my eyes travel to Boomer as I nudge him with a giggle as he looks down at me, clearly amused. "I've found this loser." I say, angling the camera up so his face goes into frame then I bring the camera back down to myself smiling happily.

"You're so short," Boomer reminds me and I roll my eyes, scrunching my nose a little at how he was already teasing me and I can't imagine how crazy the next few weeks will be when I am with him. "I'm not even in frame." He points out angling the corner back up and my head is just barely in frame as he does so.

"Bend down then." I say as I look at him with a grin across my face before I nudge him jokingly before taking my camera back into my hands. I quickly center it again so I'm back on me and I head him scoff a little as I make a face at the camera happily.

"Stand taller then." Boomer mocks me and I look up at him with a glare at how much of an idiot he is being. We reach my car and I push him off to the other side, sliding into the drivers side because no matter what happens I will not be letting Boomer drive my car. It's not that I don't trust him but I don't want my car to be totaled.

"Fuck you." I say as he stands on the other side of the car and I unlock it. I slide into my feet and quickly turning down the radio which had been on just so it doesn't seem like I am being rude and place the camera down on the GoPro which is on the dashboard.

"I mean," Boomer says with a smirk as he gets into the car and I make a face because he is already being like this. I turn to glare at him aware of how pink my cheeks are and a grin appears on his face. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He apologizes and I giggle a little, resting my head on my steering wheel because we haven't even left the parking lot yet but here we are.

"Is this how it is going to be the whole time?" I ask Boomer, tilting my head to look at him and catch a glimpse at the two of us in the GoPro. We both look tired but have smiles pressed across our faces and cheeks tinted pink. I am not really shocked by how fast we warmed up to each other because we have spent so much time together online, we know each other's schedules and what we like or don't like. It feels almost natural to be in the same car with Boomer and he gives me an innocent smile.

"Yes." I roll my eyes at the way he so easily said it. My eyes travel to the GoPro and I give it a face letting the camera know how I feel. I know that my editor will want to use all of the footage from where we first got to meet each other. This was going to be a fun car ride. We look at each other for a minute then both break into laughter and I pull out of the parking spot so I can take the two of us back to my home and hopefully get something to eat on the way because we are both starving as neither of us had eaten all morning.
