Zak was always trying to boost his career of singing. He was really good, but never got any recognition. But one day it all changed when the famous singer Darryl asked him to collab with him. Like anyone would do he accepted, he did get some hate, but most feedback was everyone being really supportive.

I have no idea who this Zak person is, but he's really good at singing! My children already love him :) -DaisyG1986

Why would Darryl collab with a nobody? -DemonKiller2004

Omg they sing together so cutely! #ishipit <3 -ocean_lover1000

They collabed a few more times, and eventually they talked everyday.

Their career boomed, and they were known for being bff's.

And that's how their friendship formed.

"Zaakkk!" Darryl shouted, their concert was just starting. "Hold on! This stupid skirt won't get on, do we even have to wear these?" He whined, for this performance the fans decided what they had to wear, and they decided to have them wear pastel skirts. Zak never wore them before, and he was honestly quite embarresed. "Can you come in and help me?" He groaned, "No! Just try your best! We have to get going," Darryl responded. He looked at the clock on the wall, and before realizing he was getting pulled into the dressing room, "Z-Zak! I don't know how to help! I've never done this before, just put it on like you do with pants," he said closing his eyes, "I'm not naked you know, I just don't know which way to put it on," he said, Darryl looked up, "Zak, that's not the skirt," he looked into his eyes, "it's not?" "It's not. That's a wig," Zak looked back down, "Oh," Darryl began to look around, "where's the real skirt?" Zak shrugged his shoulders, "Fine, just wear pants. I honestly don't care anymore," Darryl began to walk out towards the stage, and stepped on something. A pastel blue skirt sat on the floor, "Oh my goodness," he mumbled. Zak giggled quietly, as the skirt was being thrown towards him. After he finished changing they got out onto the stage, and began to sing.

"You did a great job, Zak," Darryl said to him as he changed in the dressing room, Zak waited outside. "You too, the skirt was definitely unnecessary though," he replied. "I liked it, and I thought it looked cute on you," Darryl tried to flirt, "Wow you're so good at flirting," Zak said sarcastically, "I'm not flirting! I think it just looked good on you," he shouted as he walked out of the dressing room, Zak rolled his eyes and smiled.

"So what do you wanna eat? I'm starving," Zak groaned, they argued on what to eat, and they decided on the Chinese restaurant across the street from their house. They are roommates, so they do basically everything together. Once they even showered together, but we don't talk about that.

After driving they arrived at the restaurant, it was a small one so they hoped not many people would recognize them. The waiter was a real nice girl, and even asked them for autographs. After about an hour they left and went to their house. After settling down they went to bed, Zak went onto his phone to check up on some things but saw his Twitter blowing up. After clicking on it he saw tons of pictures of him and Darryl (aaa almost wrote Bad lmao) wearing skirts. But one thing caught his eye.

He was surprised, they weren't on a date- were they? He brushed it off, and kept on scrolling. But everything was about it. He eventually got tired and turned off his phone, laying down he began to think,

it wasn't a date, we were just hanging out.

Then he remembered what Darryl said,

"I liked it, and I thought it looked cute on you"

He blushed, he thought I was cute?

No, I must just be getting it all wrong. He's probably straight anyways, he was just complimenting me, right?

He thought to himself for 15 minutes, falling asleep while thinking about Darryl, trying to figure out what he meant.

Zak woke up, he heard Darryl cooking breakfast like usual downstairs. He layed back down, trying to fall back asleep. But he failed so he decided to go downstairs.

"Oh! Hey Zak," Darryl sounded different, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He sat down and looked at his phone.

"So uh, you heard about the rumors? Crazy right? They actually thought we were on a date!" He tried to talk to him, but Zak was busy on his phone.

"What if... We pretending we were dating?" Darryl said to the boy, "W... What?"

"It would make the fans go crazy, and we might even get more," "Wow, what a clout chaser," Zak snickered. "N-no! I'm not, what I mean is that I think it would be funny to troll all of them," Zak thought to himself for a few seconds, "actually that sounds pretty funny, sure let's do it,"

Darryl began to giggle, and when he finished flipping the pancakes they sat down to eat and set some rules.

"Okay rule one no-" "is there gonna be kissing involved in this?" Zak intervened, "Well yeah, you wanna make it believable don't you?"

We have to kiss?

"Anyways, rule one..." Darryl thought for a second, "We have to send hints every so often, we can't just straight up tell them that we are dating. Well- I mean we aren't, but you know what I mean," He rambled. They were going to be here for a while.

After what felt like hours, they decided to go to a museum, Darryl posted pictures of them holding hands and looking at fossils. Multiple fans came up, it was going swell. Their plan might just work, they were going to troll the whole world.

"Zak, you okay? It looks like youre lost in thought," Darryl said worryingly. "Oh, yeah. I'm okay, just thinking about what we should do next to prank them," then a thought came to his mind, "what if we posted a pic then deleted it immediately?" "What pic do you have in mind?" "Hm, maybe you kissing my cheek?"

Darryl widened his eyes, "already?" "It would help our prank, do you wanna convince them or not?" Darryl looked down and blushed, "i- uhm, yeah but-" "fine I'll be the one who kisses your cheek. Pose!" Zak said as he took the picture and uploaded it to twitter. He waited five seconds before deleting it. "See? Easy! It's already done," everyone was already posting about it, "y-yeah, I guess it worked..." Darryl said flustered. "Anyways, let's continue looking around the museum,"

After 10 minutes of walking Zak noticed Darryl looked down the whole time,

Did I make him uncomfortable? Should I apologize?

"Hey uhm, sorry I did that without permission, Darryl."

He looked up, "Huh? O-oh no! It's okay, I just was surprised, and now I'm kinda feeling bad for the fans," "well we already started, we might as well just continue," Zak responded, "True," Darryl said leaning against his shoulder as they walked. Zak blushed, "y-yeah!" They continued walking pointing out statues and art they saw, and eventually the sun began to set.

Zak looked down at his watch, 9:57 pm, the museum closed at ten. "Uh Darryl we have to get going," he said as the lights began turning off, luckily an exit door was next to the restrooms, so they ran towards it and got out, outside the door it was an alley. "Phew, that was a close one," Darryl said yawning after, Zak couldn't help but blush, his blushes are so cute, "Yeah, wanna go back home?" "But I'm hungry," Zak looked around as they began to walk out of the alley, he noticed an ice cream shop, the open sign was still on. "Wanna get some ice cream?" Zak said to Darryl, "sure, that sounds good," Zak grabbed his hand and they walked towards the shop.

They walked inside the shop, it was empty and the cashier was beggining to put stuff away. "O-oh! We're closing but I can quickly take your order," Zak smiled and let go of Darryl's hand, walking up to the counter and looked at the menu, "Hey Darryl, what do you want?" "Uhm, a-a vanilla bowl please!" He said waiting next to the door, the cashier nodded, "is that all?" Zak nodded, "alright! 8.79$ please," Zak reached in his wallet and took out a ten dollar bill, "keep the change," the cashier smiled and began to make their orders. Two minutes past and they walked out the shop with their ice creams.

"Thanks Zak, today was fun," Darryl said to him, but Zak began to think about when he kissed him. He thought for thirty seconds before Darryl interrupted him, "Zak? You there?" "Y-yeah, sorry," "you're getting lost in thought alot lately- ohh I know, you're thinking about me! Aww~" Zak looked at him and pushed him away jokingly, "no I'm not, you nerd," Darryl giggled and they continued talking and before they knew it they arrived to their house. Zak throw himself on the couch sighing, "wanna watch a movie tonight with me in my room?" Darryl said to him, "weren't you just yawning earlier?" "Well, yeah, but not anymore," he said pulling Zak up from the couch. "Fine fine, what do you wanna watch?" They walked up the stairs towards Darryl's bedroom and turned on his tv, "hm, what about a scary movie?" "Ooh, sounds spooky, sure"

After they figured out what to watch they sat on the bed, Zak looked over to Darryl, they were about ten minutes into it, but Darryl already looked like he was falling asleep. Zak shrugged his shoulders and continued watching, five minutes passed and he felt something bump into his lap. He looked down and saw Darryl sleeping. He giggled, and blushed. Zak turned off the TV carefully and layed down. He played with Darryl's hair, a small peep came from him, making Zak blush harder. He played on his phone until his eyes began to get heavy. He set his phone down and closed his eyes, almost instantly falling asleep.
