Fwhip laid on his back staring at the ceiling of his storage room. Not the nicest place to sleep but he hadn't used his house as a house in months and the plant life Katherine had put in it as a prank had completely overtaken it by now.
So he was stuck daydreaming about someone he definitely shouldn't be daydreaming about in his very open storage room. That person, of course, being none other than Joey. Chaotic, demon-releaser, annoying Joey.
He was the worst, everyone could agree on that. He caused problems for everyone, he helped Xornoth, he tried to ruin Lizzie and Joel’s wedding. There was no doubt that no one should daydream about him.
And yet, Fwhip was.
He thought about Joey's mischievous smile, his bright green eyes, his multi color wings. The way he never wore a shirt.
Fwhip threw his hands over his face to hide his red cheeks. God, why did he have to fall in love with Joey.
“Get out of my head, you stupid, adorable, Parrot!” Fwhip said, as if shouting at the guy was going to help.
It didn't. His mind was still racing with thoughts of Joey. The more he thought the more he found to like about Joey. Which just made this whole thing worse.
And when things got worse, there was one person Fwhip could always count on. So, he pushed himself out of bed, stretched his wings, and headed off to the Crystal Cliffs to talk to his sister.

Gem dug through a chest searching for the specific block she needed for the building she was working on when someone landed behind her. Not someone, it was Fwhip. Call it twin telepathy or something but Gem knew her brother like the back of her hand and she could tell that it was him.
“What do you want, Fwhip?” She asked looking up from her chest at him.
Fwhip fidgeted with his hands for a moment trying to figure out what to say, “So… say there's this guy-”
“Who?” Gem cut him off, jumping up from her chest in excitement. Their whole life she had teased him about how he had never dated and she was so ecstatic to hear that he might finally have his first relationship, at 24.
“Umm… well, you see…” Fwhip fidgeted more, feeling his cheeks burn from both embarrassment and love.
“Come on! Spit it out, I need to know!”
Fwhip hesitated for a few seconds before quietly saying, “Joey…”
Gem’s excitement immediately dwindled, “... I'm sorry, Joey? As in Joey Graceffa, the guy who literally released Xornoth and claimed to be married to him? That Joey?”
“Y-yeah…” Fwhip looked away from his sister. Why did he decide to tell her? Of course this would be the reaction! No sane person would ever think dating Joey would be a good idea.
Gem stared dumbfounded for a few seconds. She knew her brother was weird but this was a whole new level of weird.
“You… you're in love? With Joey?” She questioned again, still not fully believing that what she was hearing could be true.
Fwhip nodded his head, “Yeah, I'm in love. With Joey.”
“Oh my heck, Fwhip,” She shook her head in disbelief. “You have horrible taste in men! I mean, sure go for it but you should raise your standards, he's kinda ugly. And definitely not the nicest guy but I guess you're both really chaotic but still!”
Fwhip let out a small tired chuckle at her reaction, “Oh man, Gem you had me scared there for a second thinking you hated him or something.”
“I don't hate him, you could definitely do better though.” Gem laughed a bit herself before letting her excitement over her brother's first love come back, “Have you told him yet? If not, I've got ideas!”
“Of course you do,” Fwhip rolled his eyes playfully at his sister before they both started laughing again.
