Poke's POV

I love recording with Joe. He makes me happy. Just the sound of his voice fills my brain with positive thoughts.

When I turn off the camera, we just look at each other for a minute.

I finally speak up.

"Thanks for recording with me, Joe. I had a lot of fun. I didn't know you knew so much about me.."

He gave me this smile and shyly looked down, saying, "Well, yeah.. I mean, I'm your best friend! The better one, apparently." He paused and looked at me.

 "Not saying that you're a bad friend or anything! You're an awesome best friend."

 He smiled and looked back down.

Joe is so cute when he smiles. Zack, no. We've been over this. You can't call your friends "cute".. Or can you...?

"Oh, haha.. Thanks, you're a pretty frickin awesome best friend too," I tell him, "you know, if I never met you, none of this would have ever happened." Was that too obvious? Quick say something smart! "My YouTube career I mean."

"Oh, yeah totally. I mean I wouldn't have the motivation if it weren't for you. Of course, with making videos." Joe says. 

He did something that was either an eye twitch or winking, one of the two. I'd like to think he was winking.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Joe's POV

JOE what was that?! A wink?! He must think I'm crazy. That was not meant to happen. It sort of just DID. Wait, he smiled. Smiling is a good thing. Should I smile back? Ok I will.

And so I smiled.

We just sat there.

Smiling.

Waiting for something to happen.

"So, uhh... I was thinking maybe we could go outside, maybe go for a walk?" I said pretty awkwardly.

To my surprise, Poke said "Sure! Yeah, I would like that."

So we grabbed our shoes, and while doing so, bumped into each other. We both let out a small laugh, and made our way out the door. 

The sun was nice, it was a little cloudy, but I didn't check the weather for rain or whatever.

I stopped when something caught my eye.

"Awww, look at that bunny over there by the tree!" I exclaimed. (I love bunnies, they are so cute) "Hey buddy, what are you doing?" I said as I walked towards it. 

Poke followed me.

💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

Poke's POV

I followed Joe to go look at the bunny. I let him walk a few steps ahead of me. He crouched down further each step when he got closer, holding his hand out.

Aww.. Look at Joe getting excited over a little bunny :3

I mean- aww... Look at the bunny....

The bunny looked sad, almost lost. Joe suddenly stopped, and I accidentally ran into him. 

Way to go, Zack. 

I saw the bunny hop away, and Joe stood up straight. He looked at me with a little disappointment.

"Oh well," he said, "maybe the bunny had somewhere to be."

"Yeah.." I said. I caught myself smiling.

Why are you smiling, Zack? Stop smiling! Oh, I can't help it.

Joe looked a little confused.

He looks cute when he's confused.

But he smiled back.

He also looks cute when he smiles. 

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

Joe's POV

He looks so God dang cute when he smiles. I wonder if he knows that.

"Zack, I need to tell you something."

Oh no, what have you done?

"Yeah?" He says.

"Well- I, uh.." Before I had time to think, I heard a roll of thunder. We look at each other, then both look up. 

Rain comes pouring down on us like frickin cats and dogs.

"Let's get out of here." Poke suggests. He starts to run back home, and I follow him.

💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙

Poke's POV

We ran back to my house, but Joe was a little behind me. So I stop for a second, grab his hand, and continue running.

The wind was rushing through my hair, rain hitting me in the face, and Joe was with me.

It was one of those magical moments you see in movies, and it was happening to ME.

We finally made it to the front porch, and we both take a moment to catch our breath. In doing so, we laughed.

"So Joe, tell me."

"Yeah, P?"

"What were you going to tell me back there?" His smile left his face.

Nooo please keep smiling, Joe. Please tell me good news.

He took a deep breath and started.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Joe's POV

Relax, Joe, just tell him how you're feeling.

"Well, you see... Zack, I've been keeping something from you." I began to say. "It's been going on for a while, I just haven't said anything."

 He was listening, I could tell from the look in his eyes.

 "This might seem crazy, but I think I-"

"stop talking." Zack declared and leaned in to kiss me.

I can't believe this is happening! What do I do? Where do I put my hands? Don't think, Joe, just DO.
