Handsome Stranger

A/N

This chapter ALREADY talks about erections. I just wanted to write it in. I'm sorry. It's not too bad though. lmao. Also, thank you if you're reading this, please vote and comment. :)

Damien's POV
"I'm sorry, dude!" the enchanting stranger chanted. I realized that he's still holding my hand, which made me blush. "No, it's totally my fault. I - I uh... apologize." I replied, immediately letting go of his hand. We picked up the scattered pieces of paper and stood up.

"Uh-uh.. thanks man" I replied nervously. I have never felt so awkward before it's as if I am agitated by this man. The blonde man introduced himself. "I'm Shayne Topp. Shayne with a 'y'. And ... you are?"

"I'm the newest member of SmoshGames. Damien Haas." His eyes lit up as I replied.

Without hesitation, Shayne gives me a hug and said, "SO YOU'RE THAT DAMIEN! We've been waiting for your first day here! I'm from the Smosh Squad! Let me take you upstairs." We head out to the Smosh office. On the way up, I confess to him that I feel nervous and scared for this is my first time working on a Youtube company. Shayne kept talking on and on about the Smosh crew assuring me that there is nothing to be afraid of.

However, in the middle of the conversation, he stopped and asked, "Hey Damien, why are you wet?"

"I never realized that I walked through the pouring rain as I was running late," I answered. We then proceeded to laugh together. He offered me to borrow his shirt as he has an extra one. I instantly turned red when he offered that.

I reluctantly answered, "Sure man, thank you so much!" Shayne took off his shirt in the middle of the elevator and revealed his admirable body. I felt blood rush through my veins into my now erect penis. He took his extra shirt from his backpack and put it on. I turned redder when I put his shirt on. I felt my erection bulge as I can smell his scent. All red and ashamed, the only thing I can do at that moment was to thank him.

We walked into the Smosh office where I was greeted by the whole Smosh crew and producers. After signing contracts, Shayne introduced me to everyone and gave me a quick office tour. I feel like I'm a part of a huge family now. I felt so nervous and scared before getting here. Thank god, I met Shayne beforehand.

I talked to everyone one by one, with Shayne next to me, of course. While talking to Kieth, Noah, and Oliva, Kieth pointed out, while referring to Shayne's T-Shirt, "Yo Shayne, it's only Damien's first day, and you're already flirting with him." We all laughed, but I noticed that Shayne's cheeks slightly turned red. This caused me to turn red as well.

By the time introductions were over, Matt Raub, one of the producers, told me that my first videos were"Seriously Super Stupid Sleepover" and "The Show With No Name" in order to introduce me to the audience. I felt like a natural in front of the camera. I realize that I am comfortable around these people; especially Shayne.

After we finished filming, Shayne asked me to have lunch with him. Once again, without hesitation, I agreed to his offer. I feel at home when I'm with him. I've only known him for hours and I've already felt like we were best friends. Of course, deep down I know that I'm going to have to avoid falling for him since he's straight; or at least I think he is. Shayne and I talked about everything. Past jobs, family, hometowns, favorite movies and tv shows, and other interests. It turns out that he and I share multiple interests. It's as if we're meant to be best friends.

However as the conversation went on, one question caught me off guard, "So, uh.. Damien, are you single?" I immediately blushed and felt embarrassed. He read my face crack and instantly apologized if he stepped on some boundaries.

"No, don't apologize. You're fine," I confided. I knew I'm gonna have to come out as gay to him, but I feel scared as I've only known him for a few hours.

"Shayne, the truth is, I've never been in a relationship. I've never even had my first kiss," I admitted. I could feel my stomach turn like I'm gonna throw up. Still, I powered through and mumbled, "I- I'm gay." I wasn't able to look at Shayne's face until he sympathized with me.

"Hey, look at me, Damien. You're fine. I don't care where you want your dick to be in," he joked as he smiles at me. I smiled back at him and we laughed simultaneously. He then appealed, "I think you're cool and I really like you, Damien."

Some time pass and it's already time to go home. Shayne and I walked out to the parking lot together. Of course, Shayne being himself, shouted from across the lot: "Goodbye, Dames! See you tomorrow!"

I waved back at him and yelled, "Goodbye! Shayne with a Y!" as I entered my car. I couldn't help but smile like an idiot when I was alone. All I can think of is how he called me 'Dames' in a cute, non-condescending way.

Well, I thought I was alone. Mari startled me by saying, "So you like him, huh? I saw you smile here after he called you 'Dames'." She looked at me through the open passenger seat window. I told her what I felt and we both laughed it off.
"I won't tell him, don't worry," Mari added and smiled at me. We both said our goodbyes and he walked off.

I couldn't forget how successful my first day was. I can connect with my coworkers already. And furthermore, I feel an instant connection with Shayne. "Handsome stranger, you have made my insides turn to jelly," I muttered to myself while looking at Shayne's car.
