50. Sunset (Fluff)

(Daniel's POV)

I'm met with silence as I open the front door. Usually, the dogs would come running as soon as the door passed the threshold. But more importantly, where's Joey? Normally we greet each other with a kiss. I put my gym bag on the stairs before walking into the living room. Outside Joey was laying on one of our lawn chairs fast asleep with Lark on his chest, Storm on his legs and Wolf laying beside him on the grass. Quickly pulling out my camera, I tip-toe outside (thank God he left the door open!) not wanting to wake Joey or the dogs. Once I got a few good photos, I kiss Joey's cheek before going inside to shower.

Exiting the bathroom, I see Joey laying on the bed looking at something on his phone. "Well hello, there Joseph!" He looks up with a bright smile "hello Danny, how was the gym today?"I just shrug before jumping onto the bed beside him "what did you do while I was out?" Joey rests his head on my shoulder as he plays with my fingers "nothing really, just played with the dogs." I looked over at Joey, he was playing with my fingers with a huge smile on his face. He resembled a child on Christmas Day.

Joey dragged me downstairs, begging to watch a movie, he wanted to stay home and watch but I told him if we were watching a movie, we're going to a theater. We were going to see It. He looked at me obviously frightened "come on Joey! I'll be with you the whole time, it's not even that scary." Okay so maybe I lied about It not being scary, but I knew Joey wouldn't go if I told him he'd possibly have nightmares. At the theaters, Joey was gripping my hand and would jump every time Pennywise popped onto the screen. Since I already saw the movie, I knew what was going to happen and when, but Joey didn't. Joey lifted the armrest so that he could latch onto me when he was scared. I looked at him and smiled, even when he was scared, he still looks so adorable. When we were walking to the car, Joey had not let me go even for a second, whimpering when we'd pass by a storm drain, which was a lot surprisingly. I honestly didn't think this movie was that scary, so seeing the fear in Joey's eyes made me feel very guilty.

Before falling asleep, Joey asked if I could check the closet and bathroom, in case Pennywise was hiding. When I laid down next to him, he whimpered and wrapped his arms around me. "Joey, I am so sorry for getting you so scared. I really didn't think that the movie was that scary" Joey yells in a whimper "yeah because you've already seen it! I told you I don't prefer horror movies yet you brought me to a Rated R reboot of a Stephen King novel!" Have you ever had that feeling of deflation after someone yells at you, making you feel incredibly guilty? Well, that's what I feel like right now. Joey whines and turns onto his other side, crossing his arms. "I'm sorry Joey, I'll never bring you to another Rated R movie unless you want to." Joey turns around, wrapping his arms and legs around me, resembling a koala bear. I watched as Joey began to fall asleep with a smile on his face, comfort in his expression. I grabbed my phone since my camera was charging in my office, leaning over to take a photo of Joey who was fast asleep against me, posting it on Snapchat and Instagram.

I wake up without Joey wrapped around me, I knew he wasn't showering so I went downstairs, immediately noticing Joey. He was on the couch, Lark by his head, Storm at his feet, and Wolf next to Lark. "I've been replaced again!" Joey smiles "I would've saved you a spot but Wolf hated being on the floor so he took your section!" Shaking my head fondly, I walk over to the kitchen.

Looking over at Joey, we locked eye contact for a while before he looked away sheepishly. I knew the second he looked away he was embarrassed and self-conscious under my gaze. I frowned, trying to figure out what to do or say to change his mind. I've written him countless amounts of letters for one to have special meaning, I'm not an excellent singer, I don't have any great plans for a special date like my three-day extravaganza. Then an idea popped in my head, a livestream!

Getting out my phone, I open Twitter, telling my followers I was going live on Instagram in five minutes. "Joey?" "Mhm" "I'm going live on Instagram, I want you to watch" I heard a quiet 'okay' in response before I run up the stairs. The moment I went live, comments already started appearing asking me what the occasion is. When I saw that Joey had joined I smiled and officially started the livestream (meaning I started talking). "Hey, guys! So a lot of you are asking why I started this livestream since I didn't clarify in the tweet." A comment from Joey popped on the screen 'yeah, why did you go upstairs? :(" "I'm here because there is someone special in my life who has no idea how much of an impact they've made in my life, positively of course or else I would've posted an indirect tweet about it."

Not even a second after I stopped talking, people began commenting Joey's name. "Looks like you've guessed who the person is," someone asked if they were right, I nodded with a smile "yes, the person I'm talking about is Joey. Now, before you all ask, including Joey, this is not my proposal. When I do propose, it'll be more spontaneous and memorable" I say with a wink. "Okay, getting back on track here. Joey has made such an impact on my life that I can't even imagine one without him. To me, he is the most beautiful human I've ever laid my eyes upon. We went to see the movie It last night, I wasn't scared because I went to see it the day of or the day after the release. But Joey, he was so adorable! Most couples when they see how scared their S.O is, they laugh at them and call them a baby. But when I saw Joey so frightened by the clown movie, I just thought he was the most adorable person I've ever seen, he was wrapped completely around me and he'd jump every time there was a jumpscare."

"No I didn't laugh at him, I just held him tightly and told him that Pennywise would never come near him as long as I'm here." Looking at the comments, I frowned as I saw people calling Joey a baby and laughing at him. "Don't think your comments are invisible, I see you guys calling my boy a baby and he is not. I'll prove it! Who here is afraid of clowns?" I smirked as I saw people commenting 'me' or hand emojis. "How many of you would go see a Rated R movie about a child eating clown?" No one said 'me' or a hand emoji. "Exactly my point! Joey doesn't like horror movies or clowns yet he sat through the It movie, and no it wasn't because of me. I told him we didn't have to watch the whole thing as the movie became more horrifying. Joey has more guts than most of you! Watch it next time you call my boyfriend a baby!"

I was getting off topic. "Moving on, to me, Joey is like a sunset. Meaning, there are many things to love about him, there is no way you can point and say you only love one thing about him, because then you'll be correcting yourself 'well, then again, I love...'. Joey is the most gorgeous boy ever. He, to me, is the perfect view. However, before I started this livestream, I saw that Joey was becoming self-conscious." Tears started to blur my vision "I saw the nervousness and embarrassment in his eyes, he would meet my gaze for a millisecond only to look away and look down. I know he thinks I look at him just to find some imaginary flaw, but what I'm really looking at is how angelic he is. Joey is my sunset, the best part of my day. I love him guys, I hope he's still watching. If he is, I love you, Joey. If he's not, I love you, Joey Graceffa."

Ending the livestream, I fall back onto the bed, curling into a ball on the bed. I saved the livestream so those who missed it could watch. "Daniel?" I look over to see Joey standing at the doorway, a watery smile on his face. Standing up, I start slowly walking toward him before he tackled me in a hug, kissing my lips repeatedly. "I love you, I love you, I love you so much!" I hug him tightly, resting my chin on his shoulder. Looking at my phone, I realize that the sun was going to set soon. "Joey! I have an idea, come on!" I take his hand, pulling him downstairs and out to my car. "Where are we going?"

I bring Joey up the familiar hike to the stunning view I brought him to a while ago. "Why are we back here?" I point at the view and Joey's jaw drops. The last time I brought him here, we watched a pretty spectacular sunset, but this time, it was more meaningful. "Wow Daniel, this is.." "not as captivatingly enchanting as you are Joey." I turn his head to look at him in the eye "no sunset could compare to your beauty" Joey smiles, kissing me sweetly before resting his head on my shoulder. "I love you, Daniel" "I love you too Joey, my sunset."
