(If it didn't tag you properly I'm sorry, but this app is shitty)

"Josh and Simon are quite old and they've been together for years, like they could live in a cottage idk it just seems cute😂"

When I've read this request, little Minizerk kids started running around in their garden in my head not gonna lie.

The only thing that I changed in the prompt was that they are not that old, only thirty-five. (I got permisson to change it so shh😂)

Enjoy🙃
_______________________________________

Josh and Simon had been married for seven years when our story starts.

Gaming after the age of thirty was still okay, but they thought that doing it on YouTube with a face cam was not really neccesary, not to mention they both had better things to do than making fun of themselves on the internet. Well the very last part of that sentence applies for Simon more, if we don't consider Josh's outbursts during those  old iconic Golf it videos.

They came out together after dating for two years straight, on Simon's channel, since he'd had more subscribers back then, when they both turned twenty-seven.

On a chilly  Saturday afternoon of October, Simon was sitting on the front porch of their newly bought tiny cottage on the country side, his glasses resting on his nose, with a photo album in his hands. He was patiently waiting for his husband to come back from a trip to New York.

Josh started  focusing on photography again, a few months before he decided to quit YouTube. He was amazing at his new job, getting offers from several big companies to work for them, as his Instagram was blowing up because of his wonderful pictures.

Simon supported him with his decision when he told him that enough was enough. He understood that his, now fiancé, wanted to do something else with his life, other than sitting in front of a computer the whole day.

Speaking of which, Josh proposed to him when they were on a holiday in Greece for their third anniversary. It was a very intimate moment between the two, standing on their rented house's terrace, talking about their future. Simon was admiring the view, when Josh suddenly got on one knee and asked him the big question, earning tears of joy a huge kiss on his lips, and a quick 'yes', before they found their ways back into the bedroom to celebrate it.

So Simon turned the pages gently, smiling at his favourite photos. His fingers lingered on a specific one from 2019.

He was sitting in Josh's lap in the second Sidemen house with a bottle of champagne in his right hand.

It was a snapshot taken by Vik after they finally posted their coming out video. They both looked happier than ever as they were staring lovingly into each other's eyes, lips almost touching.

Simon hummed, reminiscing the memory from that day. A lot has happened after that. He thought as their cat, well Josh's cat because Simon still didn't like them,( but he didn't mind them either to be honest) climbed into his lap and laid down on him.

"Oh hey, Tiger." Simon smiled at the tiny creature, stroking its gray head.

But then their dog couldn't miss out on this opportunity to pester Simon either, so it also sat down next to him, waggling its tail from left to right.

"Hey Berry." He grinned at it and started baby-talking to it. "Who's a good boy? You're, yes. You're the best boy ever." He giggled scratching the the fluffy Shiba Inu's (yes that's the breed of doge😂) ear, making Tiger lift her head up and give him an evil look. "You're okay too Tiger." He chuckled, petting her with his other hand after he'd put the album down on the chair next to him.
