The animation department has its advantages, but one of the major disadvantages of working in it is having your crush work with you during the whole work day, especially when your crush doesn't have a single clue about it. My life is based on this disadvantage that it's too distracting at times. Sure, he wasn't exactly in the animation department, but he sure worked with them a lot. The person that I've had a crush on since I basically started is the reason for ranting to myself while I'm staring at my computer screen.

To the right, I can see him and Miles laughing at a story Josh was telling them, his eyes sparkling with happiness as he was with his friends. His deep voice rang out in the office. Those who didn't wear headphones had the pleasure of their ears being filled with one of his many jokes. I had to stifle a smile as I tried focusing on the RVB scene at hand.

Kerry called, "Kyle, Miles! Can you come over and check the scene real quick? I want another opinion."

The brunette's eyes went from Miles to Kerry, nodding his head and soon heading over to the desk that Kerry was asking about. He passed me, smiling politely and greeting me. I nodded back, a faint smile on my lips. Miles looked at me, eyebrow raised in questioning over the interaction. I rolled my eyes at him, going back to the scene.

I finished my work for the day, happy to leave for the weekend. Miles and a few others were hanging out at his apartment later tonight so I had a little while until I had to be there. I decided to stop at HEB and get some food and drinks for tonight for Miles.

The party started with just me and Miles since we live right next to each other, which is one of the reasons for me even getting into being an animator at Rooster Teeth. We live on the same floor and quickly became friends when I first moved.

"So, Y/N, what was that today during work?"

I raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"

He laughed, "When you were staring at Kyle and then blushed when he said hi to you."

I groaned, "I didn't blush, you moron. And you know that I get distracted sometimes when I animate. You guys were being loud and I just watched." 

He didn't want to take my excuses for an answer. Instead of brushing it off like a normal human, he decided to interrogate me.

"Do you like him?"

I shook my head, "No."

"Then why do you always stare at him or be nice to him?"

"Well Miles, since I'm nice to you do I have a crush on you?"

He exclaimed, "YOU JUST ADMITTED THAT YOU LIKE HIM!!"

I opened my mouth to say something, but I realized that I did in fact do that. Admitting defeat, I closed my eyes, trying to be dead as I laid on the couch.

Miles promised me, "I'll keep it a secret though, okay? I don't want you to hate me for doing this."

We promised and I warned, "If you tell anyone, I'm taking all of your anime merch. Got it?"

He agreed, laughing as I heard someone knock on the door. People arrived and the party started. Mostly, it was just named a party and more like a hang out. We all drank and ate while playing the various video games that Miles had. A small drinking game even started where whenever someone died in a game we'd take a drink, and boy did we drink a lot.

It was nearing midnight and almost everyone was drunk. I quit the drinking game after my first beer but most seemed to keep going. Therefore, I became everyone's mother and took care of everyone, but mostly Miles. He was absolutely hammered and I regret ever getting the drinks for the party.

Miles slung an arm around my shoulders and slurred to the group, "Hey guys! Do you ever feel like animation has some people that are just too attractive, but you can't date them?"

I asked, "Why are you like this, Miles?"

I noticed that Kerry was drunk as well, making me sigh. My bosses were some of the weirdest people drunk, and a lot to handle as well.

I grabbed Miles' hand as I told him, "Hey. Maybe we should get you to bed, okay? You gotta sleep off the drunkenness before something bad happens."

Miles pouted, "No. You can't tell me what to do, I'm your boss."

I countered, "And you're acting like you're five. Bed, Miles."

He huffed, walking away to the couch to sit down. I rolled my eyes, grabbing a water bottle from the fridge and going to hand it to him. Miles looked at me through glassy eyes to give me a half-serious glare.

I told him, "If you want to stay out here, drink this so your hangover isn't horrible."

Kerry whined next to me, "My beer is gone."

I grabbed the empty bottle from him and he whined even more. I disposed of the empty bottle, grabbing another water bottle for Kerry, deciding both of them need to stop drinking. The others seemed amused by my parenting my bosses, silently watching with smiles on their faces. Out of the corner of my eye I watched Kyle sip on his second beer for the night and watch as this scene played out. Instead of concentrating on making myself not look like a fool, I focused on the drunkest pair I've seen tonight.

Kerry almost threw the water bottle at me but decided to drink it after I opened it for him and coaxed him into drinking it with promises of buying him a figurine from one of his newest anime obsessions. I almost cried with joy after the two finished their bottles. Now, the hard part was upon us: getting them to bed. I wasn't going to let Kerry go home at this state, so Miles' bed would have to do for the both of them. But the hard part of moving the both of them was my next challenge. Since Miles was the easiest to deal with, I asked Kyle to bring him to his room. He agreed and basically carried the man to his room. With them gone, I faced Kerry more seriously.

I told him, "Come on, Kerry. It's time for bed. Up you go."

He followed orders, but not without the complaining drunk Kerry had. It took a couple of minutes, but eventually we were able to leave the living room and go into Miles' room.

Already, Miles was passed out in his side of the bed. Kyle stood up from his spot near the bed, giving me a confused look as he passed me. I shook it off, just thinking that Miles probably told him something really weird or suggestive, and got Kerry into bed, both of them laying on their sides in case they vomit in their sleep. 

The rest of the night was wrapped up pretty quickly. Everyone else went home via rideshare and I was able to clean up and write a quick note explaining what happened and why they're sleeping together. I left towards my apartment without much thought.

The next work day, I needed to ask Kyle a few questions pertaining the set of scenes I was given. It seemed as if he was avoiding me like the plague since whenever I got the courage to speak to me, he gave an excuse to leave as soon as possible. I wondered what happened. Did he realize that he didn't like me? My mind went to the party and when Kyle brought Miles to bed. A drunk Miles can say anything, and I wanted to know what he said but I already had a feeling of what he said.

"Miles Luna, what did you tell Kyle when you were drunk?"

His eyes widened at the sudden outburst on our way back to work from our lunch break. He paused, thinking back to the party.

Miles countered, "I didn't tell him anything, Y/N."

I raised an eyebrow, "Then why does he act differently around me, huh?"

His mind searched for the answer, giving a terrified expression as he whispered his response.

"I've fucked up."

His eyes locked with mine as he went onto his knees, holding his hands up for forgiveness.

"I-I-I didn't mean to, I swear! My drunk self decided that they wanted you two together and they said that without thinking of the consequences! Please, I'll make it up to you! I'll buy you a month's worth of take out and I won't give you as much work! Just don't murder me in this parking lot."

I looked around, wondering if anyone else was witnessing this happen.

Just when I turned back to Miles, I heard from the car that just pulled in, "Does your sober self feel the same way about us, Miles?"

I froze as I saw Kyle get out of the passenger seat of Josh's car, a small smile on his face. He walked up to us as Miles stood back up, wiping the dirt off of his jeans.

Kyle asked again, "Do you feel the same way now, Miles?"

Miles swallowed, nodding his head cautiously.

Kyle turned to me and said, "What about you then, Y/N? Do you ship us together?"

I stuttered out while my face was flushed, "I-I do, but if you're not attracted to me then it's completely fine. I'm fine with just being friends."

Kyle walked right in front of me, where Miles was seconds before. He smiled as he was given a bouquet of flowers from Josh, who was done parking his car.

He asked, "I've liked you even before Miles told me, but I didn't know how to ask you. Would you do me the honor of going on a date with me and making this ship happen?"

I laughed, nodding my head yes. His smile grew and he brought me into a hug. The flowers were given to me after it, the two boys watching started cheering. I felt my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.

Miles smiled, "Come on, lovebirds. We gotta get back to work."

I rolled my eyes, "Yeah of course, boss."

Miles added, "You two are gonna be the cutest couple in animation."

"Not you and Kerry?"

"HEY!"
