It Started as a Joke

It Was Just for the Plan.. Right?

<<Wrighteous' POV>>

when i wake up i realize slat has his arms wrapped around me i calmly shake him awake and he looks embarrassed when he wakes up "im so sorry!" he yelled quietly "its fine, now both of us have embarrassed ourselves in front of each other." i say in a joking way "listen i was thinking we should get breakfast and then we can do the thing." his eyes widened and he looked happy "really!?" he asked and i nod my head, i had a good feeling about this for some reason. we both go downstairs and get cereal while talking about casual dumb shit. when we get back upstairs, i can feel my heart racing. was this a good idea? before he walked out of the room i guess he wanted to make sure i was alright with this "look are you sure youre okay? you dont need to do anything you dont want to" i nod my head yes and smile "alright" he says as he walks out and i put on the headset, opened recroom and went to the rec center. once again i was crowded about the rumors and stuff, i shakily sighed "actually.. slats over at my house for a bit.." i heard like two people gasp. the girl who told me about the rumor was there too, i told her that i was gonna do a prank but she doesnt know what the prank actually is. i just said whatever happens, act surprised. "hey slat can you come here real quick?" i yelled, and he opens the door "yeah whats up?" he asks pretending to not know anything "just come here." i say and he walks in front of me.i push my headset up and i pull him onto my lap, facing me which i dont think he was expecting and i kissed him. almost immediately he kissed back there were people surprised but my brain just drowned them out, sure it probably looked awkward since i had to have my headset up on top of my head sort of to be able to kiss him but they still got the message i think, he licked my bottom lip and out of panic i pulled away with my headset falling back on my face. "you alright?" he asks in a concerned tone "im not sure" i say breathing heavily out of panic and/or shock. while everyone was cheering i take off my headset and set my controllers down beside me. he starts to get up but i held him there "need something?" he asks i nod my head and pull him in to kiss again, like before, he kissed back almost immediately. after about a minute we were pretty much making out, until my mom knocked on the door. we both pulled back and froze as she slowly opened the door and her eyes widened "uh.." she started "i am so sorry miss!" slat started to explain as i just sat theres shocked "i swear its not as bad as it looks, we were joking around. didnt expect you to walk in." he explained further. i just sat there with a shocked look "oh, i just wanted to say lunch is ready, i made grilled cheese so just go downstairs if youre hungry" she says as she walks out. slat gets up and shuts my bedroom door "listen im sorry-" he says as i cut him off "dont be, i enjoyed it." i respond.

<<Slat's POV>>

i never expected him to pull me down like that, let alone kiss me AFTER we had already done it once for the plan. hes just sitting theres spacing out so i walk over to him and tap on his shoulder. he jumps a bit and looks at me "you never left recroom" i say pointing to his headset. he starts to panic as he puts the headset back on "im sorry everyone i thought i left recroom im so sorry.." he started to apologize. i couldnt tell what it was for but i respected whatever it was. after, he left recroom and went to go put his headset up on his desk. he was tearing up a bit but i didnt wanna point anything out, he seems pretty stressed about not leaving recroom before the second kiss already so i didnt wanna make it worse "what if the rumors get worse? i mean we did make out in front of a bunch of fans who think the rumors are true.. and if they didnt now they probably do.." a single tear runs down his face and i go and sit next to him "then we can tell them that it was planned, we didnt actually kiss, and our mom was in on the plan. its simple. if we need to say anything more for them to beleive it then leave it to me." i say trying to calm him down, although i suck at this type of stuff "thank you.." he says "i love you, alright?" i say without thinking

"i.. i love you too"
