-LIKE AN HOUR LATER...-

ANTHONY'S P.O.V.

"We should probably start walking to the car," I say "It's pretty dark out." No reply comes from Ian. "Ian?" I turn my head to look at him. Ian's head is on my shoulder, his eyes tightly closed shut. "Ian, if you're pretending to be asleep so I'll carry you...it's not gonna work," I whisper, just in case he really is asleep. No response. "C'mon Ian. I'm not falling for it." Still, no reply. I guess he really is asleep. Wait, I have one way to tell. I start to tickle him softly. The only thing that is moving is the rise and fall of his chest. Aww, I guess he really is asleep. I guess I have to carry him...wait. I can't. We're on a branch which is on a fricking tree. "Ian wake up," I start shaking him. "But I don't wanna," He groans, slowly waking up. "Ian, I can't carry you down a tree. You need to climb down yourself," I explain, sighing. "But I don't wannnaa," Ian repeats. "Fine. I'll carry you to the car. But you need to climb down the tree yourself," I compromise. "Okay," Ian nods, taking his head off of my shoulder, yawning cutely. Aww. I kiss his cheek before climbing down the tree with Ian closely behind me. When we get to the ground, Ian outstretches his arms. I sigh, but can't help but smile at him. He's just so goddamn adorable! You gotta admit it. I carefully pick him up as he slinks his arms around my neck. "Love ya," Ian tells me. "I love you too, but you owe me though," I tell him. "I know, I know," Ian whispers, nuzzling into my chest. 

-FIVE MINUTES OF WALKING LATER-

Ian managed to fall asleep once again. I might end up carrying him inside as well depending on if he's still asle-"Wait...aren't you those guys from smosh?" A random guy walks up to me and asks. "Yeah," I reply, smiling at him. "You're Anthony right? I love your videos." "Thanks!" I respond, in a somewhat low voice so Ian doesn't wake up. "Why are you carrying Ian?" "He was tired, so I told him I would carry him and he fell asleep on me." "Makes sense...but isn't that a bit gay?" He asks. I raise an eyebrow at him. Well. Fuck yeah it is because we are. How did he not know that? I mean, he watches smosh...Wait. We never told our subscribers that we were dating, nor have we really shown any affection towards each other in videos. Holy shit. "Yeah, I guess so." "Well, anyways....nice meeting you, but I should get going. Bye!" The random guy tells me, before running off. "Bye!" I reply, still smiling. That was kind of weird. Oh well... I continue walking towards the car. When I get to the car, I put Ian in shotgun and then I sit in the drivers seat. After driving home, I carry him to bed and join him not too much longer after.

IAN'S P.O.V.

-THE NEXT MORNING-

 My eyelids slowly open to see Anthony, like always. But, it's a bit different....he's awake...before me. It may just seem like a harmless thing to you but it's actually a big deal. He almost never wakes up before me...in fact....it's almost impossible for him. "Good morning babe," I say, as if it's not strange for him to be up before me. "Good morning," Anthony smiles at me. There's dark circles around his eyes and his eyes are a bit bloodshot. "How did you sleep?" I ask. "Not at all," Anthony answers honestly. "Were you up all night?" I ask. Anthony nods. "Why? You must be exhausted," I respond. He should really get some sleep. It's not healthy... "I don't really know..." Anthony replies. "Is something maybe bothering you?" I ask. "Maybe..." "What is it?" "Never mind, it's nothing." "No, don't do this to me. Now I'm concerned. Can you please tell me babe?" "Sorry...but no." "Please?" "No." "Pretty please?" I give him the cutest face I can pull off. "As cute as you are...no." "Fine...but I'm always here for you...and I know that you know that," I say. That was a bit strange. I wish he would just tell me though...

What I wanted to call this chapter: GODDAMMIT IAN. YOU CAN WALK YOURSELF DAMMIT. BUT ANTHONY'S GONNA CARRY YOU ANYWAYS BECAUSE YOU'RE CUTE AND HE FUCKING LOVES YOU
