You Better Take Cover (SlazowTV)

2 - in an apartment

The next morning, Slazo woke up pretty late, having stayed up till ungodly hours editing the night before so he could get it out of the way and start on new projects. Sorrow had made coffee for the two of them, and took a sip of it, face briefly screwing in confusion.

"Hey, s'this some kinda regional, Australia-specific blend? It tastes a little weird."

"I don't think so" Slazo thought for a minute. "Hold on a sec, do you drink your coffee with milk?"

Sorrow only got more confused. "Uhh yeah, why?"

"The milk in my fridge expired a week and a half ago."

Sorrow spat out his coffee back into the cup. "Wait, what?! Why do you still have it?"

Slazo shrugged. "Guess I forgot to toss it."

"Dude, gross." Sorrow said, mildly amused. He couldn't really put his finger on why, but for some reason, he wasn't really mad or even that bothered by the whole situation. Apart from the initial gross-ness, he found the whole interaction sort of endearing. It was almost like it made him like Slazo... more. Weird.

They were in the middle of filming a video later that day, recording a scene where they pretend to fight over who's channel the viewer should subscribe to. They started pushing each other, causing SorrowTV to lose balance and fall over, Slazo falling on top of him. He looked down at his friend for a second, about to apologize, but something about the moment just pulled him in. It was the same thing from the other day, that weird feeling him pulling him towards the other. He kissed Sorrow deeply. A couple seconds in, he realized what he was doing and pulled away.

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry, I didn't realize-" He was cut off as Sorrow leaned up and lightly kissed him back. "I don't think we're gonna be able to use this clip" he laughed. Slazo leaned back in and they were entangled again.

They re-recorded the clip and finished up the video. It was late already, so they decided to leave the editing to the next day and go to bed.

"Hey, uh, Sorrow.." Slazo started, nervously.

"What's up, man?"

"Do you want to maybe... uh... share the bed tonight, instead of sleeping on the couch?" They had just made out less than an hour ago, so he couldn't quite understand why he was so flustered while asking this.

Sorrow blushed. "Y-yeah, sure, sounds great".

Once they got in the bed together, Slazo cautiously pulled Sorrow closer to him, arms around his friend's slender form. They stayed like that for a while, both still absorbing the fact that this was actually happening, until Sorrow spoke. "So uh.. what are we? Friends? Boyfriends? Friends with benefits?"

Slazo was already asleep.
