I made my way back to my apartment after finishing my meeting about my secret project, I genuinely couldn't believe that I'd been given such a great opportunity; I knew the viewers were going to love it too. It just sucked that I couldn't tell Mark, we tell each other everything but I made a deal with my management that this was going to stay top secret until the big reveal.
I turned the corner and smiled as I spotted my apartment building in the distance, I looked around me as I see fire by Ed Sheeran played through my headphones. This was such an incredible song, even though I loved the beginning of it the most, I couldn't resist listening to the whole thing as I walked back. Mark hadn't text me but I was certain he was home, he told me he hadn't got any plans except recording.
As I approached the apartment door I pulled my key out and unlocked the door, I pushed it open with a smile on my face,
"I'm home!" I chirped, shutting the door behind me.
"In here!" Mark shouted from what sounded like his office, I dropped my bag onto the sofa and dashed into his office, ready to see his pretty face.
However that didn't quite happen.
I ran in and collided with a different figure, I stumbled back and felt my cheeks heat up immediately.
"Jesus Christ I'm so- Matthias?" I questioned, looking up at Matt who was laughing at me.
"Yeah, hey man!" I turned to Mark with wide eyes before turning back to Matt.
"Definitely a smooth first impression there baby," Mark chuckled, making his way over to me and sliding an arm around my waist.
"Stop it!" I whined, he leaned down and pressed a short kiss to my lips before looking back at Matt.
"So, Matt - Sean, Sean - Matt." I stuck my hand out and we exchanged a handshake,
"Nice to finally meet you." He said with a smile, I nodded,
"You too." Mark walked me over to his computer and explained how him and Matt were planning on recording some videos together. He pulled up a document on his computer with some sketch ideas and video ideas in general,
"Sounds awesome."
"I know this might be a bit forward, but would you like to collab with me Sean? It's part of challenge matthias so the video will go up around Christmas time? Only if you want to though," He asked cautiously,
"Of course I would!" He thanked me and we decided to record in the kitchen because the lighting was the best there and I hadn't really set up my recording room yet.
"I was thinking we could do the finish my sentence challenge," Matt explained, watching Mark as he set up the camera for us. I nodded,
"Sounds fun, let's do it." We finished getting prepared for the video and I sat back and waited for Matt to start,
"How's it going guys? I am Matthias and welcome to a special video with Jacksepticeye!" I smiled and waved at the camera,
"Welcome back to another twelve days of matthias where we do twelve different videos with twelve different people with twelve different giveaways! And today's giveaway is..." He trailed off,
"It's a new born baby!" I cheered, moving my arms around. He turned to me with a serious face,
"No, how dare." I lowered my head before we both started laughing. He explained how the challenge worked and we got into the video pretty quickly,
"I'll start it off," Matt announced, "I"
"love"
"you"
"so
"much
"that"
"I"
"don't"
"care"
"to"
"lick"
"your"
"face?" We both fell about laughing as the sentence came to an end,
"This just went way downhill so fast," I joked. We continued to throw words back and forth to make sentences and tried to contain our laughter, however Mark (who was watching behind the camera), was on the floor, crying with laughter.
I prepared myself for the final sentence, turning to Matt and nodding for him to start.
"Ointment," I immediately let out a laugh,
"Erm - ointment... heals,"
"all"
"emotional"
"issues"
"when"
"applied"
"with"
"furry"
"spatulas" We both turned to each other and laughed once again,
"I thought I was better at English than this." I joked, I sat back and let Matt round off the end of the video. I waved goodbye and we turned the camera off, smiling at the result of the video.
"I think that turned out pretty well." He said, packing his camera away. I nodded and watched as Mark walked over to me with open arms,
"I want a hug," He pouted, I opened my arms and held him tightly. He'd gotten pretty tired throughout the day and he was the cutest little being when he was sleepy.
"So, dinner?" Mark mumbled, peeping over my shoulder at Matt.
"Let's do it. You coming too Sean?" I pulled away from Mark and nodded,
"Just gonna check my uploads then I'll be ready." I left the pair in the kitchen and walked into my office, dropping down onto my chair and opening up YouTube. My first video had uploaded and the comments were flooding through, Game Grumps had uploaded too but I didn't have time to watch them before dinner. I locked my computer and wandered into the bedroom, fixing my hair in the mirror and sliding on my shoes.

I sat opposite Mark and watched as he chatted away to Matt about their video ideas, every now and again I'd chirp in but they didn't really need my imput. I pushed my last few chips around the plate with my fork as I listened to them go on, kind of wishing I had somebody else here with me too.
"So who else are you going to collab with for your challenge Matthias?" I asked, looking up at Matt. He shrugged lightly before turning back to Mark and continuing, I didn't know if this was just me being stupid or not, but I felt extremely left out, like extremely with a capital E.
The waiter came over and we ordered our deserts, the only real talk being a discussion on whether to share a pudding or not (the answer was no). Roughly five minutes later my cookie dough sundae arrived and I dug straight in, cookie dough being my favourite an all. I looked up at Mark who had dribbled chocolate sauce on his chin and was about to wipe it for him, however Matt pointed it out first and they fell into fits of laughter. I quickly finished my desert before dropping some money on the table for my food,
"I think I'm gonna head back home, I don't feel too good." I lied, getting out of my chair. Mark's eyes flickered to me and he nodded,
"I'll see you then." I gave him a quick kiss and walked out of the restaurant with my head down, pulling my hood up.
Was I just being silly? Like honestly? Of course their video ideas are important and stuff but when there's three of you, you're supposed to talk like a group. Although, they do say three's a crowd. Maybe I should have just skipped dinner altogether, getting in the way of their bonding wasn't the greatest thing for me to be doing.
I continued to walk in silence as I made my way back to the apartment, wishing I was about to walk in and see the love of my life sat waiting for me.
How unrealistic.
I entered the building and locked the door behind me, heading straight for the bedroom and stripping off into my boxers. I walked over to Mark's clothes and grabbed the blue one off the top that smelt extremely strongly of his aftershave, pulling it on and sliding into the cold bed. I nestled down and got comfy before rolling over and reaching an arm out, only to grab emptiness instead of Marky.
