Andrew runs into the bathroom, locks the door and goes to the sink. He splashes some cold water onto his face and takes a few deep breaths.

"I am such an idiot." He mutters to himself.

The door handle rattles and then the sound of someone knocking can be heard.

"Andrew? Please let me in. I know you are in there, so please open the door."

Andrew slowly walks over to door and unlocks it, but immediately steps away. Garrett opens the door, but doesn't say anything straight away. Both of them stand there in silence.

Finally Garrett is the one to make the first move as he takes a few steps closer towards his best friend.

"Why did you run away?" Garrett asks.

"Well...um...I think..." Andrew struggles to put a sentence together.

"Did you try to kiss me back there or was that just my imagination?"

A look of panic appears on Andrew's face. "I AM SO SORRY! I just thought it would have been a good scene for the video, but then I remembered that you were against doing that, so I got scared and ran away."

"I actually... wanted to talk to you about that. I think that I've changed my mind. I don't really mind kissing you for the video...you know...if that's something you would be comfortable doing. I just think the fans would die for it." Garrett admits.

"Oh, okay...cool, so...how do you want to do it?"

"We could practise it in here, just so we get used to the idea of kissing each other. So by the time we go back downstairs, we will be confident enough to do it in front of the camera without freaking out. I mean, that is just a suggestion."

"Oh yeah that sounds like a good plan. I mean when we kiss it won't mean anything. Actors do this stuff all the time and it doesn't mean they're in love with each other." Andrew says while letting out a little laugh.

Garrett takes Andrew by the arms and pulls him closer, which leaves Andrew a little disoriented for a second as the move took him by surprise. Garrett's finger is under Andrew's chin tilting his head up and then they are kissing. Their mouths are pressed together in a sort of urgency and Garrett wants to savour this moment as he has always wanted to do this.

Andrew has never felt so alive and he doesn't want this to end. Neither of them know how long they've been doing this as time seems to have slowed down and the world has stopped around them. Garrett finds Andrew's waist with his fingers, touching a bit of bare skin as his hands go underneath Andrew's shirt. This causes Andrew to jump back in surprise, almost as if that touch wakes him up and brings him back to reality, and it causes the two of them to break apart.

The pair are left breathless, with their faces flushed and their eyes shining brightly

"That was...that was...good." Garrett wants to say more, but fears it won't be reciprocated.

"Yeah, it was good. I think that the kiss will look realistic."

"Who knew we were such good actors?" Garrett jokes.

Andrew falters for a second before replying. "We are great actors. Everyone will believe we are more than friends when they watch this video."

"Yeah because that's all we are, just friends."

"Just friends."
