Tanner's POV

I did it. I kissed Woods. I don't know what came over me but I just couldn't resist any longer. I didn't fall on purpose, but it made it all that much easier.

"This," I say slowly, leaning in for another kiss, "No one can know about this. Not yet." Woods shakes his head and pulls me down hesitantly for another kiss. He seems scared I'm just going to disappear. His hand was holding part of my shirt tightly. Ever so slightly, I smile into the kiss.

Then it all came crashing down. Gunner opened the closet door. His jaw immediately hit floor. Fuck. Woods and I reflexively put as much distance between us as the closet will allow. Gunner took a deep breath in and I thought he was going to say something, but he didn't. He just shut it and tilted his head to the side questioningly. Then he turns and walks away.

I turn to look at Woods, and his eyes look like they're going to pop out of his head. I reassuringly place my hand on his cheek. "I'll take care of this. Don't worry." I lightly kiss his forehead and then also exit the closet.

Should I act natural around Gunner? Should I bring it up and talk to him about it? What if he tells Paul? Godammit why do both of these men have to be so tempting. I still hadn't decided what to do when shoot time came around. I don't even know if Woods ever found the broken guns.

Taking a deep breath and mentally preparing myself, I walk on set. The first person I notice is Woods doing some audio stuff with Mitchell. Then I see Gunner joking with Mariah. I walk over to them and acted like everything was normal. Gunner looked over at me and for a second his smile faltered.

The video started and everything was going smoothly. I was up next to destroy an old super soaker. As the spiked mace came down on it, paint splattered everywhere. Hell. Guess we should've checked that. Paint was all over my shirt and pants. I had to get this shirt off before it stained mine underneath. Thankfully, I was comfortable enough with everyone in the room.

I hurriedly removed my shirt, but my other one came with it. Now I was just standing there. Shirtless. What a great day this is becoming. I remembered Woods was in the room, and looked over at him curiously. His face was flushed red and he immediately looked away. What a cutie.

"TANNER!" Gunner yelled, I hadn't really been paying attention. "Put your shirt back on man nobody wants to see that." He laughed at me and I had a feeling whatever tension was between us is gone now. Thank goodness. I can't stand my best friend being upset with me.

I put my shirt on and we all agree now is probably a good time to stop for lunch. Lis said she would throw the Rekt shirt in the laundry. We were hoping it'd be clean by the time we came back. Woods seemed to have disappeared off somewhere so I went to go find the boys. I found them all in blue base waiting for me.

"Let's go get fooood," Connor whined. We all laughed and piled into Matt's Tesla. Like always it was me and Paul in the back, Connor and Matt up front.

I honestly had no idea where we were going but I was hungry enough that I didn't care. Paul was staring out the window uncharacteristically quiet. Slowly, I looked at his face, admiring every detail. This man was incredible in so many different ways. Paul caught me staring and his face turned a deep red color. He looked like he was trying to hold back a smile. Before anyone can notice, I wink at him.

"So how was your sleepover last night?" Connor teased, "I saw the picture on Twitter, you guys looked pretty comfy." Matt chuckled up front and peeked in the rearview mirror to see us.

I casually shrugged it off and brought my hand down on Paul's knee, just letting it rest there. "It was great," I give his knee a slightly squeeze, "thanks for the idea Connor. I can't wait until Paul and I have another sleepover."

Connor just made angry grunts and turned back around. Guess he was hoping it wouldn't go well. I laugh to myself and look over at the handsome guy sitting next to me. Paul was staring at my hand resting on his leg. I wonder what he's thinking about right now. Is it good? Bad? For the rest of the trip I keep my hand there.

Once we had gotten food I got Matt to drop me off at Paul's place. Since he drove us into work this morning, my truck was still there. Thankfully, Paul offered to ride with me so I didn't have to go back to the studio alone. We get out of the car and wave bye to Matt and Connor as they pull out and drive off. I turn to Paul and bite my lip, I'm not sure if I can stand being alone with him again. Looking away at the same time, we get into the truck. I don't make any move to turn it on though. Our eyes were locked on each other as we just sat there.

I want to kiss him.

"Hey Tanner," Paul began, "about this morning-" Before he could finish I smashed my lips against his. All of my self control seems to have disappeared for the day. I scoot over closer to him as he wraps his arms around my neck. I've been wanting this for so long. Sadly all good things must come to an end. We break away, and I go back to my side of the truck. Paul was breathing hard and had a wild look in his eyes. Using what's left of my will power, I start the truck and head back to work. Fuck. I can't decide. Woods. Paul. Ugh.

A/N - There might be another update today, mostly because I don't have to work. Hope you enjoy :)
