Tyler finally closed his own eyes and held Craig closer, their lips connecting. Tyler's knees nearly buckled as he felt Craig's soft and warm lips touch his own. He felt his heart thumping louder than ever before, his stomach dropping, his body felt as if he was floating. Craig rubbed his thumbs against Tyler's temples, turning his head more to the side. Tyler made a soft groan, letting his hands ride up Craig's back.

"And if we are to die tonight, I pray with my heart that you love me forever. And at least we'll leave here together." the singer sang, the soft guitar melody fading away.

Tyler was reminded of the recording and immediately pulled away, taking deep breaths. Craig opened his eyes in surprise, his arms still locked behind the other's neck.

"Holy fuck, holy fuck, holy shit," Tyler cursed, looking down, "Oh fuck. I'm so sorry Craig. I didn't mean to make it last so long. Please don't hate me, please. It's just. Fuck!" Tyler shouted, pulling away from Craig. He ran his hand through his hair, trying to make sense of what just happened. Craig's face dropped in surprise. Tyler leaned against the counter behind him, a blind spot from the camera. Craig went over to stand next to the taller man, watching as he tried to gather himself.

"Listen, I'm sorry if I forced you or anything. I'll scrap it and make some excuse up about my camera messing up." Craig said, breaking the silence, hesitantly patting the other's shoulder.

"It's not that. It's just, fuck," Tyler said, his voice low, "I don't know when it started, or how, but I've had a thing for you. It's just, that kiss skit thing made me feel bad but good. Like, relieved but nervous for your reaction. I don't want to fuck up our friendship right now, you're probably the best thing that's happened to me in a long as fuck time."

Silence fell on the two. Tyler could feel his eyes burn, tears leaking.

"Did I ruin everything?" Tyler asked softly, Craig pulling Tyler closer to him.

"Tyler, I'm not gonna lie, I've had some feelings that I've tried to hide before from you. For the same reasons ironically. Like I said before, you could never ruin anything for me." Craig said, letting his hands rest on Tyler's shoulders. Tyler looked into Craig's eyes, his eyes still watery. The two hugged, embracing each other tightly.

"I might be moving fast, but, maybe we can try to be something more? I mean, we both feel the same about each other. Isn't that what we should do next?" Craig asked, Tyler breaking into a smile, now more comfortable with Craig. Tyler leaned down to catch his lips, kissing him once again. Craig laughed, breaking the short kiss.

"I'll take that as a yes." Craig replied before looking back at Tyler. Tyler followed as Craig led them back to the view of the camera. Craig smiled, the lights still dim.

"Well, hope that was gay enough for you Ladds. I mean, it was gay enough that I let Wildcat into a Ask Mini." Craig said, turning over to watch Tyler's reaction.

"Pssh, shut it fuckboy." Tyler replied, the two breaking into laughter. Craig quickly repeated his outro as he switched the camera off. Once returning to Tyler, Craig leaned over to grab Tyler's cold hand into his own.

"You know, you're not that bad of a kisser." Craig said, releasing Tyler's hand so he could set his equipment away.

"Still better than you, fuckboy." Tyler replied, cringing as he voice cracked. The two stared at each other in silence before snickering and breaking into laughter. Tyler finally felt at ease, looking forward to his and Craig's future together.
