MagicAnimalClub: Happenings

26: Tension

Davids POV

We got back to the house around one o'clock in the morning however we weren't very tired.
Nicole and Beth were asleep and we didn't feel like wakening them, so Joe pulled out two bottles of beer and we sat by the fire place.
"This is like our podcast we used to do, just talking rubbish." Joe said, I had completely forgotten about our podcast.
"Oh yeh, we should record ourselves." I laughed, Joe did too until he said,
"Yeh, actually we should."
"Wait- really?"
Within no time we were getting out the tripod and the microphones.
"Stamps we're drinking beer-"
"That'll make it better, if we're drunk."
"We've got PG channels.."
"Well this isn't one, and sure we can just make this a 15 + video."
I shook my head, giving up, "whatever." I sighed. Drinking.
He then took out four more bottles of beer.
"What. The. Heck. Stamps." I said,
"Y'need more than one to get drunk." Was his only reply.
"Wait- stamps. What about a livestream?" I suggested, and he just looked at me and smiled.
We were as far away from the sleeping people as possible, we had closed the door and had everything ready. We turned it live.
"Hello? Anybody here? Oh look there's one person, shout out to you.. Um.. Can't pronounce that." Joe said.
"Well you've probably realised that this is a video for people over fifteen, because..." We lifted out our drinks, "we got beer!"
We laughed as the chat went 'waay!' Or 'yeh!!'
"So this is basically like one of those old podcast things we used to do, except.. It's live and we might get quite drunk.." We both laughed, I wished that we could have some more fun around here. But all the other people I would have called were dead.
"Y'alright squid? Oh it's so good to call you that again." Joe said, he sat on the sofa opposite me, holding onto the top of his beer.
"So, guys, do you wanna ask us some questions?"
Some immediately came in,
"Why did you go off YouTube for ages.." Joe said, he looked at me, with dreary green eyes,
"Well someone's missed out on a bit.. Uhh.. Want me to explain?" I looked to stamps and he nodded at me,
"Well, basically, we were.. Umm.." I looked at stamps, "we were appointed into other needs that were more necessary than that of entertainment."
"On the contrary we temporarily joined the army and nearly died- more than once I dare say!"
"Your accent is terribly posh squid!" He replied,
"Oh is it? I most deeply apologise for my grandiloquent dialect-" we burst out into tears of laugher,
"Come on we've barely had half a bottle!" Joe laughed,
"I know- what?!" "Okay next question next question, come on!" I felt bad by moving swiftly over that topic, but it was a topic I didn't want to cry over again and again.
"What made you start YouTube?" Joe said,
"You go first JoJo." I said,
"Jojo? Why are you calling me that?!"
"I don't even know, stamps, just.. "
"Okay I started YouTube because I was bored and I had no place to put my videos of weird stuff, so I put it on my Stampylongnose channel and then eventually I moved into my seconds channel which I put minecraft videos on and that just sort of happened, and here I am now, how about you Deedee?"
"Dee Dee.. Wow.. Okay, so I started because well.. I played minecraft and all and I just sort of wanted somewhere to put my stuff, nothing personal or interesting."
"Yeh, starting YouTube usually isn't a big thing, it's quite gradual."
"Like the rest of our lives, well up till then."
"Yeh, slow and gradual!" Joe said, laughing,
"Slow 'N' boring. That should be the name of a chip shop."  I took another mouthful of beer.
"What?! A chip shop?!" He took a drink whilst looking in question of what was going on inside my intoxicated head, to be honest I didn't know either.
"Hey stamps, wanna play never have I ever?" He just looked at me and raised an eyebrow, "yeh!" He went away out of the room, I just say there for about a minute, staring blankly into the camera lens. "Are we still live?" I moved around to look for someone, before realising that there was nobody there.
Joe came back with two sheets of paper, a bottle of vodka and shot glasses.
"So, if you have you have to take a shot."
"Pure vodka?!" I asked in shock, he just looked at me,
"Go big or go home." He replied, smirking at me as I chuckled, nodding.
Once we had ten shot glasses each filled up, we wrote down things for the never have I ever game.
"Squid you go first."
"Okay, never have I ever, woken up not knowing where I am."
We both drank to it,
"Never have I ever, crashed a car."
Just stamps drank, I opened my mouth wide with shock,
"Never have I ever, went skinny dipping." 
We both looked at each other, before bursting out laughing and taking a drink.
"Gosh that stuff is strong mate, will we look at some from the comments."
"Okay, Lesha says, never have I ever kissed someone who you aren't with now?"
We both raised an eyebrow, but only Joe drank.
Eventually my mind went blank, I had completely forgotten how to play,
"Wait, what's this again?"
"Never have I ever?"
"So, you drink if you have.. Yeh?"
"Yep."
I nodded and knew exactly what I was doing.
"Never have i ever had... Oh.. Oh well stamps.. Well.. I think we both drink here." I laughed, "you gonna tell them the news?"
"What news? Oh! Oh yeh I'm pregnant!" "No wait she's pregnant!" I put my arm around his shoulder as we laughed.
"What are you gonna call it?"
"I don't know, I don't know if it's a girl or a boy!"
"Call it squid."
"What- no I'm not naming it after a sea creature!"
"Call it... Flipper."
"Squid.."
"Call it.. Amy."
It then struck what I had just said, I put my hands over my mouth, "sorry it just fell out I-"
"Your fine, Squid. Seriously." He sat on the sofa and leaned against me,
"You tired stamps?"
"Yeh." He replied, his head sinking onto my shoulder.
"Well don't go all bi about it now- what's up?"
"I'm really scared, and I'm drunk." I looked up at the ceiling,
"Yeh, so am I.."

Joes POV

We turned the livestream off and fell asleep in front of the fire. Not moving into our bedrooms, even though my girlfriend was newly pregnant and David had 2 children. We just slept on the sofa, drunk and warm, and safe...
But still scared.
