Daniel's POV

I think I'm done with this bet. I think I'm done with all bets. I've found the one. I just know I have. Joey is the one. Now I just need to tell Scott. But how? How am I going to tell the guy that I've made (and won) all bets with that I want to stop making bets to break people's hearts. Joey is the man I love. I love Joseph Michael Graceffa. When he fell asleep on my chest I was so ready to just rip his heart right out. I was ready for him to run away crying. I was waiting for that extremely satisfying act. I woke up the next morning, and I was a different man. I knew he was the one I love. He was the one that I will always love. How will I tell him that. How will I tell Scott that. Shit. I better think of something fast because he is coming down the stairs.

"Hey Scott?"

"Yeah?"

"There's something I want to tell you.."

"Ok..? Go ahead."

"I want to stop the bets."

"You what?"

"I want to stop betting"

"What do you mean you want to stop betting."

"I mean I want to stop breaking people's hearts. I mean I want to settle down with someone. I mean I want to be in a real relationship. I want to be in a relationship where my feelings are real. I mean i'm 20 years old, and I haven't haven't ever had a real relationship. Not to mention i'm in college and I don't want to be known as the heartbreaker if I want to have a relationship with someone." He just sat there in silence. This was scaring me. I have no idea what he was thinking.

"Who is it."

"What"

"Who is the man that you want to settle down with. Who is the guy that has changed my Dan."

"J-Joey"

"JOEY?!" I nod.

"YOU MEAN THE HOPELESS ROMANTIC THAT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING TO SHOOT SINCE SENIOR YEAR? THE JOEY THAT COULDN'T GET CHANGED FOR GYM IF ANYONE WAS IN THE LOCKER ROOM. YOU MEAN THE JOEY THAT YOU ARE TARGETING RIGHT NOW?!!"

"y-yeah" This side of Scott was really starting to scare me. But I wasn't going to show him that.

"Oh my fucking god. Daniel. Why."

"WHY? I FUCKING LOVE HIM SCOTT. I WANT TO LOVE HIM FOREVER. I WANT HIM TO LOVE ME FOREVER."

"We'll see about that."

"What?"

"Oh nothing" he said chuckling.

"Whatever."

I got in my car and drove to Joey's dorm. I knocked on his door. I had a bouquet of yellow roses in my hand. Connor opened the door and smiled.

"Joey! There's someone here for you!" He came to the door and holy fuck. Joey. He had messy hair, was wearing a white jumper, skinny jeans and a snapback. I could feel myself drooling.

"Are these for me?!" I nodded nervously. I handed them to him. He squealed and ran back inside. Connor nodded his head signaling me inside. I walked in and took my coat off.

"Could we have a minute?" Connor nodded and went outside.

"Hey Joey could you come here for a second?"

"Sure. Whats up?"


"U-um, I need to ask you something."

"Okay?" He laughed nervously.

"W-will yo-you be my b-boyfriend?"

"I thought you would never ask.!" He said squealing, pulling me into a hug. I felt a huge weight lift off my chest, and I let out a huge sigh of relief. He pulled away and smiled at me. I couldn't resist the urge. I leaned in and kissed him. He smiled through the kiss, wrapping his arms around my neck. I put my arms around his waist pulling him closer. Then Connor walked in.

"Ugh, get a room." I pulled away and we all laughed. I then pulled Joey onto my lap and he turned on Lost. I pulled a blanket up over us and we watched lost for the rest of the afternoon.
