Paul's POV

I woke to the sound of my alarm telling me to get up for work. I sat up in my queen sized bed and picked up my phone to turn off my alarm. I had music play through my apartment when I woke up, it was playing "The night we met" by Lord Huron. I am feeling pretty nervous because today is the day I ask my crush/best friend Tanner out. I got up and walked into the bathroom that was attached to my bedroom, its a one bedroom apartment. I brushed my teeth, took a shower, and fixed my hair. I walked out of the bathroom and into my closet. I dressed in a GG Gaming shirt, black jeans, and black shoes. I walked into the kitchen and poured myself a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.

I fucking love this cereal

I sit down at my table and start scrolling through instagram when I saw a photo that tanner posted. It was a photo of him in a dress shirt and tie.

He looked so damn good in that photo that I actually started drooling for a minute. I started recompose myself and checked the time, it's 8:49.

Oh shit, I'm gonna be late

I grab my bag and head out the door into my car. I start the car and speed off to work. I know I'm gonna be late so why not be late with coffee? I drive to the Starbucks that's closest to the studio and order for me and the guys. I pay and get the coffee. I drive the rest of the way to work and park in my usual spot. And so far I am 15 minutes late, great. I grab the coffee and run to blue base while running I see tanner walking out the door. I look over at him and trip on the lip between the sidewalk and parking lot. The coffee spills and I fall onto the sidewalk without hitting my head.

"Omg Paul are you ok!" Tanner said clearly panicked.

"Y-y-yeah, I'm ok. I think the coffee is more injured than I am." I say. I can see the relief in his face after I say that.

"Were those for us?" He asked

"Yeah they were actually" I said.

"We'll its fine Woods has a Starbucks in red base if you wanna go get some."

"Yeah that would be great." Me and tanner started walking to red base.

"So, are you ready for "Hi5 after dark today" Tanner asked. A whole 24 hours with Tanner, Definitely.

"Of course I am, I'm ready for 24 hours with the boys." I replied. We walked into red base and stood in line at Woods's lego Starbucks, it was pretty impressive I might add.

"Hey guys, what do want?" Woods asked when we got to the from of the line. "Actually you don't have a choice, all we have are vanilla lattes...so."

"I guess we'll take a vanilla latte then."Tanner said chuckling. Woods made our coffee and gave them to us.

"Thanks Woods you're the best." I said waving as we walked away. He waved back and got ready with the next order.

"Wow, this is really good." Tanner said.

"Yeah it is, let's go and get our work done before we go to Walmart. Tanner and I walked into our shared office and i walked to my desk. I put on some headphones and edited my vlog. I don't know how long I was sitting there for but after a while Tanner tapped me.

"Hey it's time to go for lunch and Walmart." He said

"Already, shoot ok." I said. I got up and grabbed my wallet, keys, and phone. Tanner and I walked out and I locked the door behind me. We walked to blue base to meet the boys.

"GREAT THEY'RE HERE, CAN WE GO NOW." Conner yelled as we walked in. We all go to Matt's car and I sit in the middle with Tanner on my left and Woods on my right. Matt starts the vlog and the crackhead in me was released. We talked, made jokes, and laughed until we got to Red Robins. We all hoped out and walked up to the counter. We ordered our food and waited at the counter.

"Hey, you guys can wait in the car, Tanner and I will bring the food." I said to everyone. They thank us and walk back out to Matt's car. Hey Tanner, I need to tell you something and I need you to be completely silent when I do." He nodded indicating he understood. "Ok good, I just wanted to tell you that I like you... a lot. And you don't have to like me back or even acknowledge anything I say. I just wanted to tell you all this for my sake and to get this off my chest. Ok, you can speak now. I was expecting him to say its ok but he doesn't feet the same way, but all that came was the feeling of his lips on mine. I kissed back and we kissed for about 30 seconds until we heard someone clearing their voice. We jumped apart and saw the employee with our food and a raised eyebrow. I blushed a deep red color and we grabbed the food.

Time Skip brought to you by Red Robins

We had just finished filming Tanner's Bachelorette. I was getting my things when I looked, Tanner was looking right at me and I blushed and looked away. We got all of our things and walked to red base and up to the theater.

"So, how are we doing this exactly."Woods asked.

"Conner and I can sleep on the armchairs, Tanner and Paul share the couch and You can take the floor." Matt replied.

"That's fine, I don't mind, I'm not bitter at all." Wood's says in an angry tone. We all chuckle and get settled in.

"Hey, I'm gonna go use the restroom." I say

"Yeah, me too." Tanner said. We walked out and as soon as we closed the door,Tanner's lips attacked mine. The kiss was full of passion and need, I was enjoying it bad had to break it up.

"Okay Tan man, but I really did need to use the bathroom." I said while pushing him away.

"Awww, You're no fun." Tanner said, giving me puppy do eyes. I walked to the restroom and Tanner followed. I took a stall and Tanner took the stall next to mine. I started to pee when I hear the door open. I assumed it was just one of the guys so I didn't say anything. I zipped up my pants, put the seat down (common curtesy), and opened the door. I walked to the sink and as soon as I turned on the water a hand was put around my mouth and I feel an arm around my neck. A feeling of panic rose up in me. I bit the hand and Shouted.

"TANNERRRRRR!!!" I screamed.

"Paul, PAUL ARE YOU OK." He rushes out of the stall and sees me getting dragged. He tries to run after me but he gets hit over the head and knocked out. I feel something come over my mouth and I start to lose consciousness. Before I do I hear someone say, "We got him."
