Shayne's P.O.V

'Shayne... you're not the only one who feels this way.' Those words stop my tears from flowing and make me drop my mouth wide open out of shock. This can't be real. Damien can't feel the same, that just doesn't make sense.
'I've always been too scared to admit it, Shayne...' he says, as I am still processing his last sentence. 'Since you were brave and admitted your true feelings, I have to come clean too,' he laughs. 'This isn't the first time that you've told me, after all.'
I open my mouth and gasp as I remember that I've confessed my love for him last night. 'Y-you already know...'
'I did... I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you sooner, but, I-I thought you were under the influence of the alcohol...' Damien starts wiping the last tears off of my cheek, 'some people tell bullshit when they're drunk.'
I think about how I must have made a fool of myself that night, 'Hey... now that you're telling me this, I'm scared of what I did. Do you mind telling me everything that happened?'

Damien accepts my request and gives me the details of what happened, from Mari's puke missing Courtney's shoes by a centimetre, to me crying my eyes out while telling Damien I love him. Damien mentioning Courtney makes me realize that she played a big role in this entire mess.
'What was with you and Courtney embracing eachother on our bed, anyways?'
Damien can't control his laughter, 'Shayne, that entire thing was a misunderstanding. Courtney's my best friend, so when I constantly had you on my mind... she was the first person I approached about it.'
'I understand, the entire reason I kept avoiding you at the party was because I was bummed out since I thought you and Courtney had a thing together.' I say.
'See, I thought you kept avoiding me because you had a crush on Courtney.' he replies. We both giggle about it for a good while.
'If you think about it, this is all Courtney's fault.' I joke, while I check my shirt to see if any tears have fallen on it.
'But if it wasn't for her we maybe would've never confessed our true feelings for eachother.' Damien chuckles. His words remind us both why we're sitting here, and an awkward silence follows.
'So... what now.' I say while I shrug my shoulders.
'There's nothing else for us to do other than see and wait how it goes from now,' Damien says as he puts his hand on mine and smiles. My reflexes tell me to immediately retreat my hand, but I keep my hand under Damien's warm embrace.
'You're right, our dynamic has completely changed... we'll see what the future holds.' I grasp Damien's hand, for once, I allow myself to completely appreciate his beautiful smile, it feels good after repressing myself for so long. Our eyes don't break contact with eachother, it almost feels like some sort of staring contest, except that it doesn't feel like a contest, I could get lost in Damien's chocolate-coloured eyes for hours on end. As we lean in closer and closer to eachother, I close my eyes and feel our lips collide. The feeling of joy and happiness I feel when our lips touch is indescribable, after two long years of torture I finally share a kiss with the guy I've loved ever since I saw him. We stay completely silent, taking in the softness and sweet taste of eachothers lips, not with a single care in the world. Once our kiss comes to an end, I noticed that we've fully embraced eachother without even realizing. After we stare at eachother again for a long while, Damien and I both let out a genuine smile. There are no men that roam this earth luckier than us.

Damien's P.O.V

Shayne and I spend the next twenty minutes cuddling, and nothing else. We only get interrupted by the alarm clock on my phone, it rings a reminder that we'll have to get ready in a few minutes to film the next competition. I cannot describe how happy I am that Shayne came forward to me and told how he truly felt. One, because now I don't have to come forward with the challenging question, and two, now I truly know that Shayne has feelings for me, and it's not just something random he blurted out during his drunken episode. Obviously I have no idea how it's gonna go from here, but I so hope that we'll be able to carry on with this relationship.

About twenty-five minutes later, we've taken seat on the terrace outside of Matt and Ryan's cabin, where we're following Smosh tradition and compete in a Netflix and Chill challenge. I'm not very excited to have ice cold water flowing down to my private parts, but Shayne being here makes that fact almost trivial. The fact that everything is settled between us allows me to enjoy the games that we're playing for once, instead of focussing more on hiding my crush than playing. Shayne and I have, however, agreed to act as "naturally" around eachother as possible. We can't risk someone, be it one of the Smosh members or a viewer, discover that we're a thing now. God, if someone would have told me a week ago that I'd be a "thing" with Shayne right now, I would have laughed in their face and called them crazy.

At the end of the game, Team Toxicitea comes out as victorious once again, and my team has to meet the fate of pouring ice-cold water down our shorts as punishment. While still obviously being in shock from the ice-water, Shayne winks and smiles at me, which in turn makes me smile and makes me forget about the uncomfortable feeling of water running down my legs. It feels as if Shayne is instantly able to cure any bad feelings I'm feeling with just his smile, this relationship is still very fresh, but I think that it's certain that I genuinely love this man.

The day ends with me and Shayne cuddled up together in our bed, enthusiastically talking about the events of the games we've played today.
'Sorry to admit it Damien, but it was hilarious when your entire team had to dump those buckets down there,' Shayne laughs.
'Toxicitea will get their comeuppance next time, hun,' I joke back while also laughing. Our teasing exchange goes on for quite a while, until Shayne brings the fact up that we'll only be spending two more nights in this tiny cabin.
'I'm actually gonna miss it here...' Shayne lets go of me for a while to stretch his arms, but immediately goes to put them around me again the next moment.
'A lot has definetely happened in the five days that we've been here,' I hold on tight to Shayne's arms as he puts them around me again.
'You're not wrong about that, Damien.' Shayne yawns.
'It's getting pretty late, maybe we should go to sleep now?' I suggest.
'Sure... goodnight Damien...' Shayne drowsily mutters.
'Goodnight, Shayne.' My instincts tell me to lean in and close my eyes, apparently Shayne feels the same way, because before I know it our lips meet with eachother. As I turn the light off and lay my head on my pillow, I take another look at Shayne, who has already fallen asleep. The bad feelings about Shayne that usually pop up in this exact scenario, are completely gone. This might be the best day of my life.
