*2 Months later, day before Christmas Eve*
Joey: One week Shaney, we'll be married!
Shane: I'm starting to feel nervous, I just want the day to go perfectly. After all it is our wedding day!
Joey: So far everything is perfect. We have catering organised and the photography thanks to Sawyer.
Shane: Maid of honour, Nicole, your best man, Luke.
Joey: Music, a mix of YouTubers that Luke picked out.
Shane We would still be planning this if it weren't for Ingrid taking time to help is set this up.
Joey: We wouldn't be getting married until 2015 if it weren't for her help.
Shane: One week.
[Shane's POV]
Joey lay in bed next to me. The stress of organising our wedding had gotten to us both and we needed to relax. The wedding was 100 percent ready and I couldn't lie about being nervous. It will be the biggest day of my life.
Joey: I have to go to Luke's today.
Shane: What for?
Joey: Oh ummm... he's going to help me decide on a music schedule for the wedding.
Shane: Something you definitely don't need my view on. I'm staying in the apartment with the dogs all day.
Joey: You mean house?
Shane: It's been two months and I still call the house an apartment.
Joey: The Shoey house
Shane: I just can't wait. Soon to be the Graceffa household.
Joey: Come to think about all this, a year ago I never thought I'd be getting married this soon, especially to you. I couldn't be happier.
Shane: I know what will make you a million times happier.
Joey: I've already got you. How do I top that?
"Uh huh... you're a bottom." I laughed, Joey covered his face with embarrassment.
Joey: NOT WHAT I MEANT SHANE!
Shane: I know, but seriously, I know something amazing that'll make your life complete.
"What? To be a top?" Joey said sarcastically.
[Joey's POV]
Shane started laughing at my sarcasm, snorting ever few seconds. His laugh was the cutest.
Shane: Ha. No.
Joey: Ugh! Just tell me?
Shane: Kids, Joey. A real family.
Joey: WHAT?
Shane: Yeah, I thought about it and found that I want kids as soon as possible. When you're ready though. No rushing into things.
Joey: When is it considered too early for kids? I'm 22, I can handle a little one running around after me.
Shane: Really? I thought you'd want to get a career first. Acting or modelling or whatever.
Joey: I can still go to auditions Shane. Having a kid won't hold me back.
Shane: How soon? I mean, how soon do you want kids?
Joey: We have a house. We're almost married. How soon do you think?
Shane: After the wedding, and our honeymoon, we go straight to an adoption agency?
Joey: That's how you want to do it?
Shane: Do what?
Joey: Adoption is the way you want to go?
Shane: The only other option is to get a surrogate. And I don't think I want to do that.
Joey: Oh. Well adoption it is!
Shane: We can't tell our viewers.
Shane: And people who aren't close friends. I don't want anyone to let it slip, like vloggers.
Joey: I think it would be hard keeping me quiet never mind anyone else. I CAN'T WAIT!
Shane: Let's get the wedding over with before we go into further discussion with this.
Joey: We're going to be dads soon!
Shane: Me and you being dads. That should be interesting...
Joey: We'll manage.
--
Joey: I'm going to get ready to go to Luke's house now.
Shane: Does Meghan not live with him yet?
Joey: Nope, not that I'm aware of.
Shane: They're taking it slow. Unlike us.
Joey: Married before even a year of being together.
Shane: Joey, are we taking this too fast?
Joey: No! Some relationships go at a different pace than most. It doesn't mean anything.
Shane: Are you sure?
Joey: I'm positive.
Shane: YOU'RE PREGNANT? WE DON'T NEED TO ADOPT!
[Shane's POV]
Joey shook his head with pity. "I'm kidding, OBVIOUSLY!" I smiled, "Now go get ready before you're- just go!"
*20 minutes later*
Joey: I'll see you in a few hours, okay?
Shane: Okay! I love you!
Joey: So corny!
Shane: I know! But it's truuueee.
Joey: I love you too
Shane: BYE JOSEPH!
Joey: Shane. Don't.
Shane: Joseph Michael Graceffa, don't tell me what I can and can't do.
Joey: Fine then, Shane Lee Yaw Graceffa-
Shane: You can't add that to my name until next week!
Joey: Too bad! You're already a Graceffa to me!
Shane: And to my mom...
Joey: I'm sure she'll be watching.
Shane: You believe that?
Joey: Kind of.
Shane: Is it weird I can picture her watching us get married?
Joey: No, not at all! You just want her to be there.
Shane: It's been two months.
Joey: Time flies?
Shane: Weren't you supposed to be going like 10 minutes ago?
Joey: Crap! Yeah! Okay, goodbye! For real this time!
He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before running out.
One week until I'm officially Shane Graceffa. This was going to be a long week.
--
The house was decorated with Christmassy lights, ornaments and of course, a tree. Joey set everything up himself a couple weeks ago while I was at a shoot making a main channel video.
*2 Weeks Later*
I just got home after an 8 hour video shoot. Joey said he was going to stay in the house and find something to do. Turns out when I got home at 9pm, the entire outside of the house was covered with Christmas lights. I have no idea where he got a ladder from to put them up.
I carefully opened the front door, being fully aware in case I knocked something over. All the dogs were sitting near the stairs together looking bored as hell.
Shane: Uhh? Joey, I'm back!
He didn't call back. I wouldn't be surprised if he was upstairs in bed sleeping. I checked for him in the kitchen and the lounge room, he wasn't there. He was sleeping for sure.
I quietly went upstairs to see if he was sleeping he was not.
Shane: C'mon Joey! I haven't seen you all day! Where are you?
I was stood at the doorway looking into the bedroom. Someone grabbed hold of the collar on my shirt and pulled me in, slamming the door behind me.
Shane: Joey! Fuck!
Joey: Woops! Did I scare you?
Shane: Yes! Yes you fucking did!
Joey: Sorry.
Joey's left arm was holding something up in the air, and his right was pulling me into him. "What are you holding?" I asked. "Look up." He smiled, looking up at the same moment as me. Above both our heads was, what I hoped to be, mistletoe.
Shane: Mistletoe?
Joey: Yup!
"You sneaky fucker." I said before I did a quick jolt with my hips, bringing me against him. He dropped the mistletoe and brought the hand down to my chest, pushing me back gently until the back of my legs hit the bed and I fell back.
Shane: Tonight?
Joey: Do you want to?
Shane: How do I say no to you?
--
The next morning Joey was already up downstairs making breakfast before I even woke.
"Good morning." I said, walking into the kitchen, taking a seat at the counter.
Joey: Are you okay?
Shane: Yeah, aren't you tired?
Joey: Nope.
Shane: So you slept well?
Joey: Guess so! Didn't you?
Shane: I don't remember falling asleep. I only remember what we did before.
Joey: That was, fun.
Shane: So what are you making?
Joey: What do you think?
Shane: Hmmm... eggs, toast and one of those disgusting looking green smoothies?
Joey: They aren't disgusting! Do you want anything?
Shane: Nah, I don't feel like eating right now.
Joey: Shane, it's noon.
Shane: Oh it is?
Joey: Yep. Be sure that you have something to eat before it gets too late.
Shane: I don't want to eat, at all.
Joey: Are you getting sick?
Shane: I don't think so. I'm probably too tired that I've lost my appetite.
Joey: Go back to bed for a few hours. Maybe it was the shoot yesterday that worn you out.
Shane: I was thinking what we did last night might have caused it.
Joey: Maybe. Now go...
Shane: No surprises this time
"There won't be!" Joey shouted from the kitchen as I walked back upstairs.
I climbed into bed, joined by Alex who made himself comfortable by snugging into the blankets.
*3 Hours Later*
"Shane? Shane wake up." Joey whispered into my hear, bending down over my body. "What?" I replied.
Joey: It's three in the afternoon. Do you want to get up now?
Shane: Sure-
Joey: You don't have to. I don't mind.
Shane: No it's fine. I have to get up and edit this video from yesterday so I can post it on Friday.
Joey: Shane, first of all, are you still tired?
Shane: *Yawns* No...
"Shane..." Joey said with a stern voice.
Shane: I yawned because I just woke up! I'm getting up now.
Joey: Good, because second of all, there's a surprise downstairs for you.
Shane: You said there were no more surprises!
Joey: I had to say there were no more!
Shane: You're surprise last night was enough.
Joey: Just come on!
Shane: Okay I'm coming!
Joey: Close your eyes.
Shane: Ugh, do I really have to?
Joey: Shane do it!
I cover my eyes with both my hands, now unable to see anything but darkness, and no idea where I was walking.
"Don't peek!" Joey made sure I couldn't see by using his hand to cover my eyes as well. "I'm not going to peek!"
Joey: Careful going down the stairs.
Shane: Yeah because the last thing we want is for me to trip and fall down the stairs breaking a leg, an arm and my skull.
Joey: Be really careful.
When we got to the bottom of the stairs, Joey took his hands away from my face, "Open your eyes"
I was in awe with what was in front of me.
Joey: Soooo?
Shane: You did not?
Joey: It's right in front of you. Of course I did.
Shane: A real Christmas tree?
Joey: Yeah!
Shane: How and when did you get this?
Joey: When I went to target yesterday I drove past a tree place before deciding to go inside. I had it delivered when you were sleeping.
Shane: I suggest we get it into the living room and start putting things on it.
Joey: One more thing, before I forget!
He walked into the kitchen, picked something up from the counter, then out to me again, hiding whatever it was behind his back.
Joey: Ingrid had it made.
He revealed the item he hid behind himself, smiling while waiting for my reaction.
*Present Time*
[Joey's POV]
Joey: Your job as best man is to keep me sane before, during and after the wedding! You're not doing that Luke!
Luke: What the heck am I supposed to do?
Joey: Calm me down before I lose it and overthink things!
Luke: Ok. Ok. Think of Shane!
Joey: Umm? Ok? I don't see how thinking of him is going to calm me down when the reason I'm panicking is because I'm marrying him in a week!
Luke: Just think about all this. Thing about the moment you walk up to him at the alter. Hearing and saying each others vows. Him putting your wedding ring on your finger, you returning the favour. All the guests watching, your family, Shane's family, friends, me and Meghan, everyone. Then being told your now Shane's husband, and to kiss him.
[Luke's POV]
Luke: Imagine you're now married to Shane Dawson- Joey? Joey?
I guess thinking about marring Shane made him fall asleep. I got him a blanket from my bed and threw it over him. I'll let Shane know.
*Texting*
Luke: Hey Shane, Joey fell asleep at my house, he's pretty exhausted and I'm thinking he should spend the night here instead of driving home this tired.
Shane: Sure, if he's comfortable there let him stay. Could you tell him to call me right away when he wakes up?
Luke: Yeah. I'll talk to you soon Shane!
Shane: Thanks Luke!
Joey had started panicking about the wedding since he arrive at my house before I calmed him down. He was nervous as he'll and I'm sure he just wants the big day to be perfect. For now the most I can do is talk sense into him.
[Shane's POV]
Sleeping in our bed tonight alone didn't sound good to me. Even if it's only one night I'm going to miss him. Miss his presence beside me. It was just me and the dogs tonight in the Graceffa household.
[Joey's POV]
I wasn't expecting to wake up in Luke's house, but that's where I ended up. Luke must have also fallen asleep as he looked like he was only just weakening up as well. Rubbing his eyes and yawning, he stretched and stood up.
Joey: Hey...
Luke: Oh hey Joey. You okay?
Joey: I'm fine. You?
Luke: *Yawns* Tired.
Joey: I see that. So how did I end up sleeping here last night?
Luke: You randomly fell asleep and I left you there to sleep.
Joey: Oh my gosh Shane! He's probably worrying because I didn't come home!
"Where's my phone?" I shouted frantically, searching my pockets.
Luke: I texted him last night telling him you were exhausted and drifting off. He was okay with you stating here.
Joey: That's a relief. But I still should call him and see if he's alright.
Luke: He asked me to tell you to call him when you woke up, so go ahead and call him.
Joey: I'm already dialling!
[Shane's POV]
Joey was calling me. He could relax me, hopefully.
Shane: Hey, babe.
Joey: You hardly ever call me babe. Is everything ok?
Shane: Everything is fine. How are you doing? Luke told me you were exhausted?
Joey: I was surprised I didn't wake up beside you or even in our bed this morning.
"Joey are you nervous about the wedding?" I blurted out, cutting him off, without restraining myself. "Shane to be completely honest, I didn't come to Luke's to talk about music! I came to Luke's because he's my best man and I needed him to tell me everything was going to be fine. I was in such a bad state!" He announced, sounding relieved to get that out.
Shane: Good to know it's the both of us finding this difficult. I though I was going crazy for a minute.
Joey: Pre- wedding jitters. That's all.
Shane: Yeah, totally.
*1 week from then*
Joey: Luke! I'm freaking out again! Tell me what to do!
--
Shane: Nicole! You aren't even my sister! But I'm going crazy and I need your help!
*Present*
Shane: Jitters. Right. It'll go away.
