Third Person POV (short chapter.)
It's been the fifth day of the two dating. Darryl finds out that Zak is clingy, and Zak finds out that.. Darryl doesn't like affection at, all? Zak's been wondering why; Darryl normally gives hugs all the time, but now.. he doesn't wanna be near the younger at all.

Zak's been getting anxious. Did he do something?

Zak wants to do what couples do, hold hands, cuddle, and whisper sweet things in each other ears. But how would that be possible if they haven't even shared a kiss yet? Maybe Darryl just wants to take everything slow..

Zak and Darryl are now huddled onto the couch, chewing on beef jerky - Zaks arm wrapped around Darryl. There eyes watched the movie on the laptop in front of them carefully.

Zak tries to hold Darryl's hand but instead he just flinches his hand back.

"Are you okay?" Zak asks, with true worryingly pupils in his eyes. "I'm fine Zak, I just wasn't aware with the sudden movement.. scared me 'bit" Darryl held Zak's hand tightly. Zak looks at his partner up and down, "Okay love.." he mutters.

Darryl came over to Zak's rehearse the same day.

"Was it good?" Zak made his way to Darryl who's sitting on the couch. "It was amazing." Darryl sips on the bubble tea Zak bought for him earlier today. "Thanks." Zak smiles, pecking Darryl on the lips quickly. "I'm so single." Ant grunts. "Well I can't relate." Cara replies.

Everyone's eyebrows raised. "Did I not tell you?" Cara giggles, "No?!" Geo gasps. "I have a boyfriend." Cara shows a picture of him, "Thats one of our bodyguards!" Zak points at the the guys face. "Yeah, August is handsome isn't he." Cara puts her phone back in the pocket.

"How long has this been going on for?" Ant quirks an eyebrow. "Two weeks I guess."

"Two?!"

Zak ruffles with Darryls hair, Darryl staying silent for the whole time. "So your gay?" Geo turns his head to Zak, they're all seated down now. "Im bi Geo." Zak rolls his eyes, "Darryl is gay."

"We're twins then." Ant chuckles, Darryl chuckles in response. "I should be going now. Zak, Are you gonna tag along?" Darryl sits up. "Uh- yeah! Of course. I'll see u guys later." Zak sits up too - linking his arms with Darryls. They all say their goodbyes and then the couple leave the building.

"That was fun." Darryl grins. "Yeah," Zak switches his eye contact to Darryl's eyes, "It was."

They both decided to walk to the nearest coffee shop. Since they were in public they couldn't hold hands anymore, so Darryl had to go back to being an assistant. It didn't take long until crazy fans came to take pictures.

Darryl was happy to be in a relation ship, but with a famous person? That's different.
