Than There Was You

Another Day, Another Vlog

It was a start of a new day and YouTube daily (sort of) vlogger Joey Graceffa had just woken up from his sleep. It wasn't very long, since he had fallen asleep around 4 A.M and the current time was 9:38 A.M. The YouTuber rubbed at his eyes as he made his way towards the bathroom, stumbling over his dog, wolf. He cooed at the pup for a few seconds, ruffling his fur for extra attention like always.

Once inside the bathroom the young man looked in the mirror. Everyday he asked himself the same question. 'Are you happy?' and everyday the answer was the same. 'No.' It was always hard for Joey to be happy when he was alone. It was a dark and scary place for the YouTube sensation.

After having brushed his teeth and giving his face a quick wash he was in the kitchen fixing up some scrambled eggs with of course his green juice which filled his day full of energy. While waiting on the eggs to cook, he took this opportunity to bring out his vlogging camera. "Ah! Good day, everyone!" He said as he started the vlog, smiling at the camera as he begins to speak. "Today is a nice shimmering morning full of me cooking up some eggyanyas!" His hands moved so that the camera could focus on the eggs, scrambling them with a fork with his unoccupied hand.

When he had finished cooking up his breakfast he brought his camera back out to show the finish product along with his green juice. "Shoot, I think I could be a chief if I really wanted to. What do you say, guys?" He vlogged a few more things before putting the camera away to eat. As he ate his phone vibrated on the counter right beside his plate. His looked at the phone from the corner of his eyes before picking it up. It was David who had texted him, asking if he wanted to go shopping today. Of course Joey couldn't say no, plus he didn't have anything to do that made him busy today.

Later that day,

"Joey, Joey! Can I have a picture with you?" A girl shouted from the store that Joey and David were currently in.

"Of course." Joey said as he turned around and walked over to her, smiling for the picture as he spoke to her for a few minutes. He returned back to David as he turned on his camera to capture a few things for the vlog.

"And here we have a slut in his natural habitat." The YouTuber said as he pointed the camera to David who was pretending as if he were naked and trying on clothes in the fitting room. "What a whore! Cover up!" Joey said in a jokingly shocked tone, closing the door to David's fitting room.

As Joey waited for David to come out of the fitting room, he sat on one of the stools, his back leaning against the wall and his fingers fiddling with the camera in his hands. He decided he could vlog a little here, it wouldn't hurt. It would be more interesting then doing nothing. He turned his camera back on and smiled, beginning to talk about a few things that he had done and didn't vlog, since they weren't things that were vlogging appropriate.

Just as he was getting close to ending the vlog for the time being something, well, someone caught Joey's eyes. It was a male that seemed over 6 feet and was rather lanky, but also fit. His jawline looked as if it were sculpted by greek gods and his lips, oh god, his lips were just so the perfect shape and size.

Of course the young male wasn't out to his viewers just yet about his sexuality and he hadn't really been too comfortable or accepting with himself about it either. However, just looking at the man he knew that he was attracted to him. He was probably staring for too long as the stranger turned around and smiled at him. The smile did it. It made Joey's cheek flush a bright red. He looked down at his lap and took a deep breath.

A few seconds after a hand touched Joey's shoulder, causing him to jump up and almost scream, which he didn't. Thank god. "Woah! Are you okay?" David ask, as it was his hand that was placed on Joey's shoulder.

"W-What? Of course I am. I'm fine. Are you done? You take forever! Goodness gracianious." The YouTuber said to his friend as he got up from the stool, his eyes searching for the male that had him all startled and blushing, but there was no sign of him. 'Maybe I scared him off or made him feel awkward.' Joey thought to himself as he made his way to the checkout with David.

It was getting late and so both Joey and David decided on eating dinner at Urth Caffé. If the male could eat somewhere for the rest of his life Urth Caffé was definitely the place he would eat from. Along the way to the restaurant Joey was vlogging, talking about nothing really important, just goofing around with David. "David here thought it would be funny and almost pushed me into a light post! Which wasn't funny, by the way." He said as he shot a glare at David.

"I'll show them how I did it too." David said, pushing Joey with his hands.

Joey stumbled over his two feet, losing his balance as he ran into someone. That someone managed to keep the both of them before falling and all Joey could here was David's laugh turning into him saying he was sorry. The young man ignored him and focused on who the hell was holding him. As he slowly lifted gazed up he locked eyes with the other. It was the same guy who he saw at Topshop. This had to be a dream and if it wasn't (which it wasn't) it was super embarrassing.

"Hey, are you okay?" The unknown male asked Joey as he looked at him with a concerned look.

"Ye-Yeah.. I'm okay, I'm really sorry about that.." Joey answered back quickly, maybe a bit too quickly.

"Okay, good. It was a good thing I caught you. Wouldn't want that face of yours to get scratched or beat up." The stranger teased the YouTuber as he offered him a smile, taking a step back to give Joey his space.

"Aha, yeah. I'm sorry again..." Joey said as his hand ran through his hair several times due to nerves.

"It's no problem. - My names Daniel by the way. I think I saw you shopping at Topshop earlier, right?" Daniel asked, but before he could get an answer his phone started ringing. He looked down at it and it was his work, sighing softly he looked up at Joey. "I have to take this, but if you want you could follow me on twitter at MisterPreda. Same goes for your friend over there. You two seem fun." He said before answering his phone and waving bye at the both of them, walking off in the opposite direction and disappearing around the corner.

Joey just stood there frozen. No words being able to come out of his mouth. He was still embarrassed, but now more shocked than anything else. Did someone as hot as Daniel just speak to him, give him his name and twitter? Surely it wasn't a number, but nowadays that's pretty much the same thing. It then hit him that he didn't even get to tell Daniel his own name, but that could be done threw twitter, right?

It wasn't till David shouted Joey's name that he had snapped out of his daze. His head shaking a few times as he picked his camera up, looking at it and noticing it had captured everything that had happened in those short few minutes. God, was he happy that he was vlogging.
