••••JOES POV••••

I opened my eyes and saw that I was in Caspar's room. Over the past two days, we slept in each others beds, which was different. Usually I like having a whole bed to myself, but when I share it with Caspar, I don't mind the least bit.

I looked out his window and saw the bright blue, cloudless sky. The birds were chirping and altogether it just was so peaceful. Nothing could ruin my mood, not even the video Caspar and I had to film today on both our channels. We were going to film last night, but got too tired while setting up in his room, so we crashed on his bed.

I unlocked my phone and saw 10 new messages from all of our friends. They all basically said the same thing: I don't see a video yet... Where is it?

We had to make the video now, there was no turning back. Our friends knew, and although they would never announce anything we didn't want them to, we all knew it was the right thing to do.

"Morning Caspy." I kissed his nose, his forehead, and his cheek, and then he woke up.

"Morning." He replied. "What time is it?"

I checked the clock. "12:30, why?"

"We should do something together today before having to make the vid. We haven't gone out much lately, or not nearly as much as we should." He mumbled this with both eyes closed, making me wonder if he was fully awake.

I thought about what he said and realized that he was, unfortunately, corer you. For the two days we have been official we haven't been out of the house except to go get some popcorn at the shop so we could watch a movie.

"Ok. How about lunch at Nandos then?" I silently hoped he wouldn't turn down Nandos, considering it is my favorite place to eat.

"Yeah. Let's get ready."

After another 10 minutes laying in bed in the silence, we picked out each other's outfits for the day, keeping in mind that we still had to look good for our video later. It might be the most serious video ever, because nether of us have come out to our audience yet. Luckily we will only have to make one video explaining everything, instead of one explaining our sexuality, one explaining the hacked Twitter situation, and one explaining our relationship. This would be easier, but still hard at the same time. I refused to think negatively.

After rummaging through his unorganized closet, I picked out blue t-shirt with black jeans and blue Vans for Caspar to wear. For me, he picked out my black t-shirt with the low scoop neck hole that almost exposes my nipples, blue skinny jeans, and black toms. We laughed after realizing how similar we looked.

We laughed at how no one suspected a thing. Yet.

We laughed because we wouldn't want to be spending time with anyone else.

"Nervous for the video?" I asked him in a quiet voice to make sure that no one was hearing us talk.

"Not really. I mean, we might loose some subscribers, but now is a great opportunity to find out who the real supporters are. They are the ones who will stick with us throughout everything and all the news we tell."

As cheesy as this all was, I knew that there was no denying what he had said.

"I mean, they will most likely forgive us about the whole Twitter problem when we tell them we are dating." I was trying to convince myself that that was the truth.

He nodded, took a bite out of his wing, and pulled out his phone. I saw that his lock screen was a picture of us on the main stage at Vidcon. He unlocked it and opened Twitter. Before I could ask what he was up to, he started typing rather slowly on the keyboard. When he had supposedly finished and he posted the tweet, he faced his screen towards me, and it read:

@Caspar
"BIG NEWS COMING OUT TONIGHT!
I hope you will always be there for me no matter what I tell you."

He was probably referring to how his viewers were angry at him for what he said to me. My nerves were beginning to kick it now, and I didn't like it in the least bit. I tensed up thinking about how it would go, and he must have noticed because he grabbed my hand and rubbed circles on the back of it with his thumb.

No matter how hard I tried not to be, I was constantly thinking about the reactions, what I would say, and trying not to mess the words that came out of my mouth. And the more I thought about it, the worse it got.

But even then, I had to act like I wasn't nervous for the video so I could make Caspar feel as comfortable as possible. Even though I was the one who suggested the idea of making the video soon, that didn't mean I wasn't nervous. I was putting on a bit of an act when I was all confident around our friends at the table. But even then, my sweaty hands were shaking with nerves under the table.

He stood up, still holding my hand and whispered in my ear, "Let's go. We have some news to tell."

My heart pounded in my chest.
