It all started as a joke. You and Axel, close friends and die-hard bikers, had been riding together for years. One day, after a wild ride, you filmed yourselves goofing around and posted it online. You didn’t expect much from it, but the video blew up. Turns out, people loved watching you two ride together, pull stunts, and share laughs. So, you kept going, turning your rides into a regular vlog series.

Months later, you and Axel were ten videos deep, and your channel was booming with subscribers. Each video showcased your adventures on your bikes, your banter, and a mix of stunts and pranks. People loved the easygoing bond between you—there was no faking the chemistry you two had.

Today, you’d just finished filming the latest vlog. The sun was setting, and the roads were bathed in golden light as you pulled into a quiet rest stop. After pulling off your helmets, you both leaned against your bikes, laughing about the day’s ride. The camera was still rolling, perched on the tripod, catching the tail end of your conversation.

“Hard to believe we’re ten videos in,” Axel grinned, running a hand through his messy hair. “Feels like we just started.”

You nodded, replaying the day’s antics in your head. It had been another wild ride full of stunts, and you both knew the fans would eat it up.

But as the laughter faded, Axel grew quieter, leaning against his bike, eyes cast downward. “You know,” he started, voice softer, “I didn’t think I’d get into vlogging, but... it’s been more fun than I expected. Not just ‘cause of the rides or the cameras, but... ‘cause of you.”

You blink, caught off guard. Axel wasn’t usually the sentimental type, but there was something in his expression now, a kind of vulnerability you hadn’t seen before.

“I’ve been wanting to say something,” he continued, glancing toward the camera, then back at you. “Maybe it’s stupid to do this on film, but... I love you.” His voice wavered slightly. “Not just as a friend, not just for the vlogs. I mean it. I love you."
