Daniel's P.O.V.

"But Daniel, why do you care enough to fight for me," Joey says as he stares intently into my eyes. I know exactly why I didn't let him go. I know why I fought for him. It is because I love him. I want to tell him. I want him to know so badly. I just feel that once I tell him he won't look at me the same. I feel like he will think I am some loser who falls in love too easily. But the truth is, I don't fall in love easily. Honestly, I have never been in love.
"Just tell me, please," He says trying to pull my out of my thought.

I can do it. 3 words. 8 letters. Come on Daniel you love him. It's not like you killed someone. But that is the thing. If Joey doesn't feel the same way, it will be as if Daniel died inside.

"I love you," I say. As soon as the words leave my mouth a smile creeps up on Joey's face. I didn't realize it but one forms on my face as well.
"What did you just say?" He says stepping closer to me. Placing his hands on the back of my neck.
"Joseph Michael Graceffa, I am in love with you," I say placing my hands to rest on his hips.
"I love you too," he says to my surprise. It is like one-hundred pounds has been lifted off my chest when he says it back. He loves me...

I smile at him as I gaze into his eyes. I lean forward and connect our lips. The kiss isn't light but it isn't hard either. It is like a perfect in between that leaves us both hungry for more. But, I know that neither of us are ready for that yet so we will just have to stick to kissing. I move my mouth down on his neck moaning his name as I trail kisses down to where his neck and collarbone meet. I move around until I find the spot that causes Joey to grip my hair and moan, his sweet spot. I start to suck. I want to mark him as mine. I want people to ask him who gave it to him tomorrow. I want people to know he belongs to someone. Because he is mine and I am his.

After a few minutes of us kissing, we both pull away and rest our foreheads on eachother.
"I love you," I say kissing his temple. It is a really nice feeling. Love.
"I love you too," he says grinning as he kisses my cheek. We both get up to change to go to sleep Joey agreed to staying at my house tonight. Which is weird because tomorrow is Tuesday and he usually only stays over on the weekends. But believe me, I am not complaining.

We are both wearing sweatpants. Joey has on a black shirt and I didn't bother putting on a shirt. We both climb into my bed. Joey cuddles flush with me and I tangle him in my arms. Right as I hear him snoring I whisper, "Goodnight sweetheart. I love you."
After I said that Joey smiled in his sleep and came closer to me.

This is perfect. He is perfect.

Can we all just talk about the "boyfriend tag" video for a second? Shoey is dead. Janiel is alive. I got so excited when I saw that Joey posted the boyfriend tag and I was happy for like 40 seconds until Shane came in. Anyways, thank you guys for reading and interacting with this story. Whenever I read the comments I smile from all of the encouragement. See you guys tomorrow xoxo <3
