Donald was immeasurably stressed, today is the day of the presidential debate, and he has to act like he hates Joe. He hates doing it, Joe is such a awesome boyfriend. He feels awful arguing with him even as an act.
He jumps lightly hearing his phone ring, looking down at his phone he sees Joe’s contact on his phone and picks it up.
“Hi Don-Don,” Joe said, Donald could help but smile hearing him, you could hear his smile thought the phone as he feels his hear flutter. “Are you ready for today?”
Donald sighs, he can’t help it, he hates the fact that they could never be public, considering it would be unprofessional, they are ment to be enemies, rivals, but you just can’t control who you love, he has tried.
“I know,” Joe says with a very disappointed tone, “it sucks, but it’s what we have to do. We both know what would happen if the public found out about us, your side, our wives, we just can’t risk this getting out.”
“I hate having to insult you, or go against you, even as an act. I just-“ Donald trails off, he just can’t explain how he feels.
“I know, but at lest we can go golfing after right? Joe says trying to find silver linings was always his thing, no matter how much it annoyed him he was always grateful for the hope Joe always managed to find.
“Yes of course, why wouldn’t we” Donald can feel his smile creep up his face, he can’t help it Joe is just too cute.
“Welp, I got to go. See you at the the debate” Joe says before he hangs up the phone
Donald proceeds to keep getting ready for the debate
