Zak sighed, clicking absentmindedly around on his computer. He hadn't had any video ideas in a while, and as a result, he'd been sleeping less. Due to lack of sleep, he was having even more trouble coming up with new ideas. It was an endless cycle, weighing down on him, making his life harder.

The ringing of his phone made him jump. He glanced over to it and immediately brightened at the sight of the name on the screen. He hurried to answer the call.

"Hey, Darryl!" Zak greeted happily, excited to hear from his boyfriend. Though he wasn't having the best time with his life, talking to Darryl always cheered him up.

"Hey, Zak, how are you?" Darryl asked. His voice made Zak's heart jump. He felt as if he was floating. He'd heard about how love was difficult, how things easily went badly. Now that he'd experienced it for himself, he knew that wasn't true; this love was freeing, easy.

"Better now that I'm talking to you," Zak flirted honestly, grinning at the flustered noises Darryl made. "What's up?"

"Well, I was wondering..." Zak raised an eyebrow as he waited for Darryl to continue. "Do you think I'm... ugly?"

"What?!"

"I-it's okay if you do, just be honest..."

"Darryl, what the hell?!" Zak exclaimed. "Why would I think you're ugly?"

"Well, some people on Twitter were saying it, so I-"

Rage flared inside Zak. "Darryl!" he shouted, startling the other boy silent. "You are perfect."

"But-" Darryl tried to interrupt.

"No, listen to me. No matter what anyone else thinks, you are perfect. I love you just the way you are. Got it?"

"...Okay. Thank you."

"I love you, Darryl."

"I love you, too."
