Next morning, Viggo woke up by the sound of a voice calling. "VIGGO ROLIG! IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT NOW, I WILL KICK YOU IN THE FACE WITH MY SNOWBOARDING BOOTS!" "Ehh, what?" Viggo exclaimed while sitting up immediately. Zoe was standing at his bed, and the boots she was wearing were no joke! "Come down right now! Everybody is waiting!" "Wha..waiting for what? I'm not eve.." but Zoe didn't let him finish his sentence. Instead, she grabbed him by his collar and dragged him down the stairs. "Zoe! I just woke up!" "It's about time! Everybody's getting impatient!" When they arrived in the living room, everybody was there indeed. "So, will you tell us your oh-so-great announcement now?" Mac asked, clearly pissed off. He was probably brutally interrupted in his sleep as well. "Yes, I will!" Zoe exclaimed happily. "Viggo!" and she pointed at Viggo. "I know who you like!" Viggo gasped. What? How could she know? He quickly glanced over at Moby, but Moby didn't understand either. "I followed you yesterday on your 'date'!" Zoe continued triumphantly. A million thoughts raced through Viggos head, but the main one was clear: this was going to be the worst moment of his entire life. Nate was also in the room, curiously waiting for Zoe to expose Viggos secret. "Zoe..please..." Viggo tried to beg, but she stopped him. "No mercy! If you won't tell me when I ask you, this is what you get!" "So I followed you on your date, but Elise wasn't there!" "And that is why you're in love with..." Everybody leaned over closer as if they would hear better then. "Elise!" Elise? "Yes, it's Elise! I saw your face when you heard she missed her plane! Pure disappointment! The chance to go on a date with her, ruined by that stupid photoshoot!" Zoe shouted dramatically. "And you had to spend that evening, that could have been so wonderful, with Nate instead!" Right that moment, the door opened and Elise came in. "Hi guys, I'm back! What are you all gathered around for?" Oh great, more humiliation... Viggo looked over to Nate, but only saw an empty seat. Nate was gone!" "Viggo likes you Elise!" Zoe exclaimed. "Huh, what?" Elise asked, not understanding the situation at all. "I'm going to go out for a second, bye!" Viggo said, while the bunch was distracted by Elise and Zoe. "Yeah, I found out! He's totally in love with you Elise!" he heard Zoe shout again.
Outside, there were footsteps in the snow. Somebody had been running. Viggo followed the footsteps. He ran for fifteen minutes and then he found the runner. Nate was sitting on a log, not moving at all, just staring at the scenery in front of him. "Nate, what are you..." Viggo started, but then he saw Nates face. Tears. Nate was crying. "Go away" Nate ordered him, but it didn't sound very convincing. "No, what happened?" Viggo asked worryingly. He didn't want Nate to be sad, He would do anything to stop him from crying! "Just go back to your stupid Elise!" Nate said again. "I don't even like Elise!" "Oh sure, you're just pretending to like her then!" "Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing!" Viggo said, even though it wasn't completely true. "Why the hell would you do that?" Viggos heart started beating faster. The situation could hardly be any worse, could it? He didn't have anything to lose. "Because I like you" he answered, nearly whispering. "What?" "Because I like you, you deaf idiot!" Oh great, great going Viggo. Start cursing at him, why not make him angrier then he already is, just perfect... Nate got up and faced Viggo. "Then why," he said "didn't you just tell me that? You would've prevented so many problems!" Viggo shook his head. How stupid could you be? And that is exactly what he said: "How stupid can you be? Do you think I'm just going to come up to you and say 'Hey, I'm gay and I like you! Oh, you're not gay? Oh dear, how embarassing!' You can't even imagine how that feels, emotionless ba..." "Will you stop swearing at me or I might not be able to imagine it indeed!" "Huh? I don't understand..." Viggo said. "You're the dumbass here! Isn't it obvious? I like you too!" Nate said. What? Viggo couldn't process this, he just couldn't. Did..did Nate just say he liked him? Like, 'like like' him? Viggo just stared at Nate blankly, unable to move. "Oh God, why have I fallen for such an idiot?" Nate sighed and walked over to Viggo. Before Viggo could resist, he felt warm lips pressing on his. Nates lips. It seemed to last forever, but even forever wasn't enough. "I love you Viggo, I really do" Nate smiled. Viggo vaguely smiled back. "I love you too." "And Viggo, you look very cute in your pajamas, but why are you wearing them outside?" Oh dear! Viggo had completely forgotten he hadn't gotten dressed yet. But he just laughed. Because right now, Nate was all that mattered to him.
They walked back to the lodge together, holding hands, smiling brightly, happily a couple for the rest of their lives.
A month later, everybody had gotten used to the gay couple, although Zoe was still mad about being wrong.
Everything had gone back to normal, but Nate and Viggo weren't the only new couple! Allegra and Moby were, although they didn't admit it, often seen together, secretly holding hands when they thought nobody was looking. ;)
