A shocking discovery [3]

7:30 A.M
Daniel Seavey's penthouse
——🌻——

There was stirring in the hallway outside of Zachary's bedroom door. He was awake but not fully, still partially asleep so he didn't think anything of it. Instead Zach focused his mind on falling back asleep.

Little did he know, Zachary had an admirer, smiling while studying Zach's motionless body, other than the soft breaths he took. Daniel knew he shouldn't be, but he keeps catching himself take double glances at Zachary.

There's just something about Zach that has Daniel question his every move. He's always wondering if his smiles too big, if he's been staring for too long, and if he says something that might expose his little secret.

Daniel doesn't want to admit, but he thinks he might be catching himself falling in love with the 17 year old boy that he met less than only 24 hours ago.

Unfortunately, it was time for the day to begin. Which meant Daniel had to wake up sleeping beauty, as much as he didn't want to. They had things to do and there was no time for sleep.

Walking to the side of the king sized bed to wake Zachary up, Daniel accidentally stepped on a piece of paper. Him being his curious self, picked up the paper and read its contents.

"Blue eyes, piercing through my soul
Cold as ice, frozen in my mind
Stuck in my vision, concreted there
Jaw line, sharp as a knife
A touch could cut right through me
One smile was enough to turn my heart into jelly
The smiles just kept coming
Almost as if he wanted me to have a liquified heart
It doesn't matter, after all I'm just a hopeless romantic
Stuck in a world, a reality
That doesn't exist."

That poem was honestly breathtaking. Daniel, obviously oblivious wondered who it was about. Whoever it is, is a very lucky person and Daniel couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

He placed the poem back where he found it, and that's where it hit him. Daniel started to think that maybe the boy wrote about him.

Upon this discovery, Daniel quickly and quietly left the peaceful boy to rest. Once in the living room, Daniel called his manager Jon to notify him of his own absence.

"I'm sorry Jon, but I really need a day off today. Something came up."

"Yah yah, whatever Daniel. I understand you want to miss today because it's the last meeting before summer."

"No, Jon it's-" daniel was cut off by a beep, signalling Jon had hung up.

Daniel situated himself at the kitchen counter with his laptop and a cup a chai tea by his side. He decided to work on his book while Zach was sleeping soundly.

He didn't want to be an author, but so many ideas just keep coming to him. All those ideas were getting too much to handle just sitting there, so he decided to make them real.

Anyways, he had no doubt that this book was going to get denied instantly. He wasn't a writer, never would be. That's just the way he is. Daniel could never imagine himself as an author anyways. His title would be "Daniel Seavey, 1/5 of why don't we and award winning novelist."

To Daniel that doesn't sound like him. He likes it better being just "Daniel Seavey, 1/5 of why don't we." But, I guess it worth shooting your shot while you still have ammo. Daniel decided to himself that Zachary should do something with his writing talent.

He would say something to Zach about his writing skills and how good he was, but then Daniel's cover would be blown. He doesn't want the younger boy to know what happened this morning, yet. His secret should stay a secret for the time being.

Daniel clicked away working on chapter 5 of his book "untitled". It's not actually called untitled but Daniel hasn't found a title that fits yet. He didn't notice but Zachary had sat down beside him. Who knows for how long.

Daniel heard a sniffle and finally realized Zach was sitting beside him, reading over his shoulder.

"Are you okay Zachy?"

"I'm fine, thanks dani." Zachary smiled reassuringly at Daniel.

"How come you're crying then?" Daniel was completely puzzled.

"Your writing, its beautiful. I never knew you were talented in the literature category too."

Daniel laughed, "Zach Herron, do you really think that... I can't believe you."

"What do you mean? Have you read this, it's amazing."

"Thanks Zachy."

"Do you have a title for it?"

"No, I can't find one that fits."

——
After hours of writing and brainstorming, the two boys finally decided on a title. The book would be known as 'who I really am'. It was about a boy who came out as gay to his family but they didn't accept him, so he decided that he was straight to make them proud. After years of pretending, he actually believed he was straight. That is until he met a boy who changed everything, and made him discover who he really was.

"Daniel, the emotions in this book are so powerful. Not trying to pry but it's almost as if it's personal."

"Well, I guess you could say that..."

And that's when Zachary got the story of Daniel's coming out.

I don't know what to write at the end of these chapters. That's the only part that sucks about writing them in advance.

Edit: I found something to put here! Im here to tell y'all that I now have a crush on Ethan Dolan and I'm such of stan of the Dolan twins now and I regret not finding them sooner. I watched some of their videos today and almost pissed myself like seven times because they are so funny. AHAHAH I'm such an annoying fan girl it's not even ok anymore. And now, instead of writing, im going to go read fanfics of them, so yeah bye sister sisters!

^ that was so long ago i-
