"I WANNA BE YOUR BOYFRIEND!!" Joel practically screamed, Etho startled by the sudden yell. Joel has been waiting since the day they found out they were soulbound to say that, of course he had to let it all out.
"I- you what?!" Etho stuttered, Joel's chest heaving for breath. "I wanna be your boyfriend, Etho," Joel said, basically sneering it like a snide remark.
Etho looked dumbfounded.

Joel's POV - 3rd person
Joel looked up at the stars, twinkling and dancing in the dark, night sky. Etho laid down next to him, hands tangled together.
I wanna be your boyfriend
I wanna be your boyfriend
I wanna be your boyfriend
I wanna be your boyfriend,
Were the only thoughts that Joel could hear when he looked at Etho. Of course he wanted to be Etho's boyfriend, who doesn't?
Etho was attractive, handsome, tall, smart, witty, tactical, strategic, athletic-
What in the bloody hell.., Joel thought, embarrassed by how much things he loved about Etho.
Joel, very discreetly, glanced at Etho for a short amount of time. Etho's bleached, white hair swept his eyes, his mask covering the lower half of his face. He always wondered what Etho's face looked like in its entirety; probably perfect, like the rest of him, Joel thought warmly, slightly squeezing Etho's hand.
Woo!
Ooh, I'm in love
It's a mystery
When I see you out at night
I start to get dizzy
When Joel first arrived in Double Life, just the thought of having a soulmate, a significant other, excited him. He knew he wouldn't be alone this time, he would have a partner, an ally.
So Joel didn't expect to fall in love with his soulmate, knowing it would most likely be a guy; he always thought he was straight. He thought he would do something like platonic soulmates or something.
But when he was paired with Etho, oh, was he excited. He and Etho haven't interacted as much in past series', and Joel did have to admit, Etho was attractive.
He couldn't help but gain feelings for the strange, white headed man; love is quite the mystery, isn't it?
Stargazing became a hobby of theirs after Joel built their home, the Relation. They would just lay on the dock and look at the stars together. At this time, Joel and Etho haven't really established, or defined, their relationship.
So every night, Joel felt his palms get sweaty, his throat dry, words scrambling in and out of his mouth. His head starts to spin and get dizzy when he looks at that comforting expression of him. He held hands with Etho when they stargaze, for goodness sakes.
Before I see you I pick out some things to say
Don't want to sound foolish and waste my chance away
Every single moment Joel and Etho talk, Joel always plans what he says to his soulmate.
Any second, minute, hour, he makes sure he picks out the right words to say to Etho; he wouldn't want to embarrass himself in front of the most prettiest man he's ever known.
He didn't want to sound stupid, or foolish and waste his chance to talk to his beloved soulmate; that would be a waste of Etho's time.
Oh, I'm not gonna make the same mistakes
I'm not gonna run
Just pick the boy you like
I've got my hopes set
