Behind The Mask is Love For You

Karaoke

Hey, if this chapter seems familiar to anyone, that's because I reused the Karaoke one-shot. Why? Because I love it and I'm also very lazy. Sooooooooo enjoy! (If you've already read the Karaoke one-shot you can skip this chapter. I just took out the parts where they kiss bc this is like a day after their relationship started)

Etho's Perspective-

Bdubs's birthday arrived and to be honest, I was a bit nervous.

I wasn't really a fan of karaoke or any big party things.

But here I was,

Laughing with my other friends as we watched and cheered Bdubs on as he was singing Everybody Talks.

The song ended and Bdubs struck a pose.

We all laughed, and I clapped as he sat back down.

"Nice job, Bubbles." I said and Bdubs blushed.

"Thanks." He said before getting a drink of water.

"When's your song?" He asked me as Jevin and Keralis walked up to sing What Makes You Beautiful.

"Oh, er- I'm not doing one."

"What?! Why not?"

"I'm not really into karaoke."

"Please? It's my birthday." Bdubs said, giving me a pleading look, "Even Skylar did one!"

"I don't know..."

"Please?"

He held my hand and looked at me.

"For me?"

I sighed, "Fine."

"Yay!" Bdubs said cheerfully, smiling.

I chuckled lightly; I loved seeing that adorable smile that Bdubs had.

"So what song are you gonna do?" Bdubs asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know."

"Can I pick one out for you?"

I raised an eyebrow, "Can I trust you?"

Bdubs put his hands on his hips, "Of course you can trust me."

"Mmmm, I don't know."

"Just give it to me." Bdubs said, taking the clipboard out of my hands and writing down a song.

I laughed as Bdubs tried to hide the song he was writing from me.

-

"We sounded great." Keralis said, putting his hands behind his head.

I rolled my eyes, "If by great you mean earsplitting, then yeah."

Keralis and Jevin rolled their eyes, but they were both smiling.

"Great!" Bdubs said, smiling at me, "Now it's your turn!"

"My turn already?"

Bdubs nodded.

I sighed as I got up.

I took off my mask and put it in my pocket.

I saw Bdubs hand his phone to Skylar.

"Can you record this?" He asked her and she nodded, smirking.

Bdubs walked up with me.

"What are you doing?" I asked him.

"I wanted to sing this with you." He smiled.

I smiled back and then the song started.

At first, I didn't recognize the song.

That was, until Bdubs started singing, looking at the lyrics on screen.

"Oh no." I groaned, making Bdubs break out in giggles.

It was the song 'California Girls' by Katy Perry.

"Come on Etho! Sing!" Cleo shouted and I shot her a glare, making her laugh.

"Yeah, come on Etho!" Jevin said, clapping, "You got this!"

I rolled my eyes and Bdubs elbowed me.

"Please?" He mouthed.

I sighed and started to sing.

At first, I felt very embarrassed.

But then, the chorus started, and everyone sung.

It was fun since everyone was very off tune.

It got harder to sing as I started to laugh.

Bdubs had fallen on the floor with laughter.

I smiled as I helped him up.

He got up, giggling.

We were all laughing as the song ended.

"Happy birthday, Bubbles." I said, wrapping my arms around Bdubs and giving him a squeeze.

"Thanks, Etho." Bdubs smiled up at me.
