Best Friends To Boyfriends (Septiplier)

A New Feeling

Mark's POV:

I practically ran to my door when I heard the knock. I knew who it was without even checking. I opened the door and smiled when I saw my best friend on the other side. He showed a huge grin as well as we embraced each other.

"Mark!"

"Hey, Jack! How was your flight?" I asked.

"It went really well, actually." Jack replied. "I guess I've gotten used to all the plane rides."

Like me, Jack was no stranger to flying. We had each flown many times for conventions, and Jack has flown even more just to come visit me. I've gone out to Ireland a few times, too, but Jack always seems to like coming here more.

I led Jack into the guest bedroom and left him to unpack. He was planning on staying for a couple weeks, just hanging out, playing video games, and recording some videos. When Jack was finished unpacking, we decided to record a video. After recording, I made a special dinner to celebrate his arrival. Most of the rest of the evening was spent just hanging out and talking, catching each other up on our lives.

The next day, Matthias invited us over to do a 7 second challenge video. We agreed and headed over as soon as we finished breakfast. We arrived at Matthias's house and got everything ready for the video. Matthias hit the record button and started introducing everyone and explaining the game. Matthias started out with the phone and Wade got the first challenge.

"Pretend to make out with the person to your right for the full seven seconds." Matthias read. Wade got up and walked over to Jack, who reached his arms out jokingly and they instantly began to fake make out. As I watched them, I felt myself get angry. I had no idea why and I looked away, confused. When the seven seconds were up, everyone was laughing. I joined in, not wanting them to notice my anger.

The rest of the challenge went a lot smoother. When it wasn't my turn, I would sit and try to figure out what happened earlier. I was still insanely confused and wanted to know why I felt that way.

"Mark, are you alright?" Jack asked after Mathias finished the recording. "You seemed lost in thought the whole video."

"What?" I asked, lost in thought at that moment. I came out of my thoughts and focused on Jack. "Oh, yeah I'm fine. I was just..." I tried to think of a good excuse. "thinking of an idea for a new video I had."

"Oh, really? What is it?" Jack asked, interested.

"It's, uh, it's a truth or dare video!" I said, naming the first thing that came to mind.

"Oh, that sounds fun!" Jack had a huge smile on his face, and I couldn't help but smile as well. Jack was my absolute best friend and just seeing him so happy always made me happy. The only bad thing was that whenever he was sad, I was sad as well. When he skyped me after his girlfriend broke up with him, I was heartbroken for him. I couldn't imagine being with someone so long and then suddenly not being together anymore. It was at that moment that I really wished there wasn't so much distance between us. If we were closer, I would have been there for my best friend through one of his hardest times of his life.

Jack and I headed back to my place, him questioning me about my new video idea.

"When were you thinking of doing it? And with who?" Jack questioned.

"I don't really know. I didn't think that much into it." I answered honestly.

"But you were thinking about it almost the whole time we were filming the challenge!"

Shit! Why did I lie to him in the first place? Now I just have to keep lying to him and I feel really bad about that. "I was trying to come up with ideas for truths and dares."

Jack looked at me skeptically. He probably knew something was up. I wasn't that good at coming up with lies on the spot. "Sure." He said and then quit asking questions.

I felt really bad lying to Jack because he's my best friend and I normally tell him everything, but I needed to keep this to myself and try to figure out what this all meant.
