#roosterteeth inserts

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!"

Meeting people online was one of the best parts of having social media, but having your internet friends be one of the main cast in Rooster Teeth is unheard of. Well, until I became friends with Jon Risinger, then it became a rare occurrence. It was simple how I became friends with Jon, but I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I didn't start to play online randomly by myself and I didn't be on a team with Jon, how my life would be different? Surely, I wouldn't have started talking to someone in a different country just because he was interested in playing more with me and would develop the biggest crush on him after we've started talking on all platforms for awhile. That day was almost six months ago and looking back, time has flown too quickly for my taste. The topic of us seeing each other came to the conversations as time passed, and I always felt sad to tell him that I didn't have enough money to see him, and he didn't have the time to come see me with his crazy job. Unknown to him, I lied about seeing him. It was close to RTX, and we had our weekly gaming of whatever game we decided on to play together. It was late at night and I knew that with RTX a week away, Jon was sad that I couldn't attend. I told him during one of our last games, "Cheer up, Jon! You're going to meet a LOT of people who love you. I know it's tough that I'm not going to be there, but I'll definitely be there next year!" He brightened up at the news, "Really? You're coming next year?" I nodded my head, "Of course! I've started saving and it looks like I'll have enough for everything next year." He pouted, "But it's too far away! I want to see you now." I smiled at his adorable face, but felt guilty of what I knew. I actually am going to this year's RTX, with the help of fellow Canadian and one of Jon's best friends Barbara, and it's all going to be a surprise. I looked at the time and told him that I needed to go to bed soon since I needed to get up in the morning and go to work, which actually one of my last days before vacation. When I talked to Jon, I had to act like I was normally leading my daily life. It made me feel guilty but excited at seeing his reaction in person and spending time together and not on the internet in separate countries. Just thinking about it made me have a smile on my face that I couldn't take off for the entire plane ride to Austin. The temperature change from Canada to Texas was a bit overwhelming. Luckily, I knew that it'd be hot so I'm in shorts and a cute shirt, but it was so hot that I kept having to fan myself and drink loads of water as I waited for my uber to take me to the hotel that I'd be staying at for the next week. Once I got to my hotel, I quickly checked my phone for any notifications from Jon. I saw a snapchat and a few messages, but I knew I couldn't open them until I do when I usually get done with work. Otherwise, he'd know my secret plan and it'd be ruined. I just went on my laptop and caught up on any videos I missed until I could respond. I couldn't help but smile at the cute picture of Jon out with his co-workers, looking absolutely adorable with the caption 'I wish you were here!' I sent a selfie back of my pouting face with the caption 'me too! I hope you have fun with your friends!' Sighing, I felt my travelling catch up to me. Even though it wasn't much of a distance, the stress that went through it all to get here exhausted me. Looking at the clock, I decided to go to bed. Afterall, I needed to get up early so I can get dressed and have enough time to get good seats to the panel.   Getting up early in the morning was easy since I became too excited with each passing minute as I got ready. I wouldn't be cosplaying this year, as I'd be with Jon and I just wanted to look cute and be myself. Also it's kinda a hassle to get everything over here when TSA can be strict with everything that's in my suitcase. It was bright and early in the morning when I ordered something for breakfast to carry over to the line in RTX, just a couple muffins and a coffee. I took a cute selfie of myself while in line, promising myself to post it later when Jon found out since I've been told that he has notifications up for my social media apps, as I do for him. Speaking of which, Jon tweeted a pic of him and his friends in the VIP area with drinks, saying that he'll be on the panel in half an hour. I liked the tweet and replied jokingly, 'Wish I was there xx' with a giant grin on my face. While waiting, fans around me got into a conversation and I joined. They questioned my attire since it was uncommon to wear something that isn't a cosplay or a RT shirt in RTX, but I just told them that I'm meeting up with someone and I didn't want them to think I was too into RT but I absolutely was. They seemed a bit skeptical about my answer, but they accepted it anyways. Soon, I was able to get inside the panel's room along with everyone else. I made sure to not be too close to the front incase Jon spots me, so I was in the middle near the aisle. I made sure to text Barbara, who was also in the panel, so she can reveal me to Jon when the time comes. It started in minutes and I started to feel jittery. Everyone was announced, and cheers filled the audience. I cheered along, a grin on my face as I watched Jon walk across the stage to his seat. I couldn't believe my eyes. Jon was just a hundred feet away and yet it feels so surreal to see my internet friend and crush in person. He looked more attractive, definitely. The panel was almost done, with about five minutes left. Questions from the audience started about twenty minutes ago and I was currently in line, with two people left in front of me. Barbara suggested, "Why don't we keep going on the right side? They have good questions so far." Blaine teased, "And what about the left side Barb?" Blaine caught on once Barbara pointed me out to him and I shyly waved to him once we made eye contact. We've talked through twitter a few times, so he recognised me almost immediately.   With only a minute or so left, I finally had the mic. I pouted to Jon and asked my question. "Why are you so bad at Smite, Jon? You're a bad teammate." Jon's eyes lit up at the sound of my voice, and he instantly stood up and ran to me. I saw that Barbara was filming the whole thing, along with Blaine. He had the biggest grin on his face when he exclaimed, "Y/N! You're here!" Jon gave me the biggest bear hug, making everyone cheer. I couldn't believe what was going on, and I'm sure Jon felt the same. We broke apart, grinning like idiots. Barbara announced, "Some of you may know this person from Jon's streams, It's Y/N!" Blaine chanted, "Kiss! Kiss!" Soon enough, everyone else did. I instantly hated Blaine for causing this. I felt like I was peer pressured by people who shipped us without even knowing us.   I felt my face heat up as Jon looked at me with an adorable face. He didn't really seem fazed by it, but I certainly was. He asked politely, "Can I finally kiss you after having the biggest crush on you for months?" My blush deepened as I nodded my head, feeling the same way. He stepped closer. cupping my face gently and bringing his soft lips towards mine. We kissed for only a few seconds, but it felt magical. Cheers grew as we parted, but I blocked them out as I tried to fully figure out what just happened. Barbara joked, "Now have sex!" Jon shook his head, grabbing my hand and leading me to the others. Blaine ended the panel and people cheered as they walked off stage to either relax for a bit or go to their next panel. Jon kept his hand locked with mine as we came to a stop in the VIP lounge, stopping to hang out for a few minutes with Barbara before she heads off to her next panel. 

She smiled at me, "I can't believe you're here! How's Austin so far?" 

I shrugged, "It's hotter than I expected, but it's been great." 

Jon asked, "When did you get here?" 

"Yesterday, before you texted me about your dinner." 

He pouted, "I wished you would've come! It was fun and you could've met everyone." 

Barbara nodded her head, "It was fun, but we had to keep the secret." 

I agreed and Barbara finished our conversation, "I'll see you guys later, yeah? Have fun!" 

I waved and looked to Jon, who kept staring at me with a smile on his face. 

I raised an eyebrow, "What? Is there something on my face?" 

He shook his head, "I still can't believe you're here, and you look more beautiful in person." 

I laughed, "Thanks. I knew that my webcam made me look gross." 

Jon rolled his eyes, "Take the compliment, I'm giving you more while I can in person." 

I thanked him and we both walked with his PA to his next thing, which was playing some video games on the center stage with some other popular RT members, probably Smite or similar. We held hands during the walk backstage, relishing in the silence between us that contrasted the excitement of the thousands of fans everywhere else. 

The coldness of the night brought everyone into huge jackets and a pile of shivers. It was one of the coldest nights in Austin and here I was filming the new movie Rooster Teeth was making. Of course, being Michael's girlfriend (and on set anyways) and one of the prominent faces in Rooster Teeth as of late, I was offered an extra role as a cheerleader. That meant that I was on set in the cold, doing a cheer in a cute but thin cheerleading outfit. As a fellow cheerleader, I was with the main female character in the movie, Allie. Arryn, Lindsay, Barbara and I were all cheerleaders and we were only shown for a few seconds, but it was very fun to pretend and have fun. I couldn't help but feel like I was getting jealous of Allie and how she was beautiful and everything I wasn't. She fit the character she was playing perfectly-beautiful, athletic, and absolutely amazing. Days went by where her and Michael had scenes together and they interacted, but it wasn't anything to be jealous over. They were always with someone like Burnie or Gavin to diffuse anything that might happen. But, it so happens that the gods weren't on my side tonight, and the inevitable scene where Allie had to try and 'seduce' Michael but ended up trying to kill him. I knew that she was too young for Michael and they weren't interested in each other, but I looked on with jealousy in my eyes. The other people in the company that worked on the movie always stared at me, trying to gauge my reaction. I kept a straight face, watching one of the screens that displayed what was being filmed. Matt directed, "Alright guys, we're going to do it one more time just in case the last one wasn't good enough." I sighed to myself. One last time. Michael and Allie agreed and they got into character, ready for Matt to say action. He did and the scene started. Allie climbed on top of Michael, and he looked like he was overjoyed, like how Zach would react. I just bit my lip and watched. Matt cut the scene, telling the crew to have a break so they can resume the filming until the morning. I grabbed Michael's jacket and handed it to him so he can put it on until he gets warm in his trailer. He smiled sweetly at me as he finished his small conversation with Allie. I smiled back, glancing at Allie. I told him, "Gavin wanted to know if you wanted to play a round of Halo before the crew finishes setting up the next scene." He shook his head, "I don't feel like it. Tell him to go play Halo himself." I pulled my phone out, texting Gavin exactly what he said. He just responded with a frowny face, making me laugh. We both walked to Michael's trailer in silence. The sounds from the crew was enough noise for the both of us as we walked to the area filled with trailers for the main actors of the movie, so Michael had a trailer. I opened the door and let him in and soon followed. 

Once we were both inside, I mindlessly opened my phone and went on twitter, looking through my mentions and liking the ones that were good, then I went to my feed. I was reminded of Allie kissing Michael with a picture of Michael and Allie together. I could feel Michael's eyes on me as I tried to act like I wasn't jealous, but obviously I failed by Michael's question

. "You're jealous, aren't you? That Allie had to kiss me when we're filming?" 

I knew that Michael could tell the truth, and I wouldn't live it down if I lied, so I nodded my head. 

I confessed, "It's just that she's so pretty and perfect and people are saying that you and Allie look better than me and you. I know it sounds stupid, but I can't help but feel a little jealous over it." 

Michael's gaze softened into one of absolute adoration. He walked the short distance we had and brought me into his arms. He pressed soft kisses into my temple. 

He told me, "I'm in love with you, not Allie. It's you, it's always been you. She's like a little sister to me, but I love you." 

I smiled, valuing the words that were spoken. Michael doesn't say it often, but when he does I always feel my happiest. We just stayed like this for a few moments. 

I said, "I love you too, Michael, and don't you forget it." 

We broke apart so we can relax for a few minutes before we had to go back out into the cold. I gave Michael his dinner, some of the catering that was brought in an hour ago from Rudy's. I just told Michael what was going on within Rooster Teeth since he only went in for a few hours, if he went at all, during the last couple days. 

He laughed, "At least you're telling me. I'll need to catch up on any good videos." 

I promised him, "Once it's over, we can binge watch Geoff being dumb in multiple videos." 

Being an Achievement Hunter wasn't always the easiest job, but being the newest one has the worst Achievement Hunter there is. I've recently been hired as a new editor and background person in the office, but it doesn't mean that I'll appear in videos and be teased constantly on and off camera. Honestly, I don't care about the teasing since I know that it's a gesture of their love, even if it comes off as mean. Today was one of those days where I was on camera. Jeremy and Matt were both streaming with Mica, and Trevor and Lindsay were busy, so I was technically the C Team, but I appreciated it anyways. The few times I've been in a video, the fans have commented both good and bad, but the good ones were mostly about my chemistry with the Lads, mostly their shipping towards Gavin and I. I've ignored it myself, but everyone else likes to tease us whenever we're seen together. The video we were shooting was a simple free-roam GTA for Monday. I've always loved these since they're always random and they're like a podcast. Now, I'm in it taking Jeremy's place. The goal of today was customize one of the new cars they've released and race them. It seemed like a good idea, but Gavin and Michael had different plans. Currently, Geoff and Jack had a new car, Ryan was doing whatever Ryan does, and Michael and Gavin were on their own adventure with some planes. I just went along with Geoff and Jack since they were the ones who were actually doing what we were planning on doing. Geoff asked me, "How is yoru love life, Y/N? Do you have any boyfriends or girlfriends?" Michael commented, "It sounds like Y/N is Geoff's daughter." Geoff defended, "I was just wondering! Y/N is attractive and I'm sure there are people lining up just to talk to her." I laughed, rolling my eyes, "Geoff, I wish it was true." Gavin asked, "If you had to date someone in Rooster Teeth, who would it be?" I thought about it, trying to think of someone good enough for my standards to date. The only person that jumped out was Gavin, but I'm sure it would lead to more teasing. Ryan instantly started attacking Gavin, "Why would you ask something like that? What if I asked you that, Gav?" Geoff commented to me, "If you're going to pause for that long, then I'm sure I know your answer. I think you'd be cute together!" I turned my attention to GTA since I stopped moving when the question was asked. I continued to drive down one of the roads, aimlessly driving in one of my cars while Geoff and Jack were ahead of me. Gavin defended himself, "I was just wondering, Ry-bread." Ryan told him, "Then you should answer the question." I looked to the right in real life, seeing Gavin stare at his screen thoughtfully. Jack and Geoff had a small conversation while Gavin formulated his answer. He finally spoke, "I think Y/N wouldn't be the best option, or anyone in Achievement Hunter." I felt slightly offended by his answer, asking "Is there something about me that isn't up to your standards or something?" He widened his eyes, looking straight at me, "That's not what I meant and you know it!" Michael commented, "Smooth Gavin." He explained, "It's just that if we'd break up it'd be awkward because we're together most of our work day." Ryan asked, "So if Y/N wasn't in Achievement Hunter you'd date her?" Gavin nodded his head, "Yeah, I guess so, out of everyone in the company." I didn't know how to feel. Mostly, I felt insanely happy about Gavin basically confessing that he liked me, even though he said it was only in the company. There weren't a lot of girls to choose from, but I felt relieved that he chose me. I had to fight the smile that grew on my face as I tried to concentrate back on the game at hand and not at Gavin. Eventually, everyone had a new car and they customized it. I had barely enough for the cheapest one since I haven't played GTA a lot, only being a low level and poor compared to Michael and Ryan, who play the most. I made mine my favorite color and as custom as possible. Once I rolled into the airport after I got my car, I noticed that Gavin and Michael also had their cars. During the conversation with Gavin that I had earlier, Ryan bought his after causing a little bit of mayhem. I rolled into the group's cars, feeling like everyone is fawning over each other's cars. "I'm here, bitches." Geoff commented, "Your car looks cute,Y/N." 

Michael teased, "for a poor person!" 

I rolled my eyes, "Just because I'm not rich doesn't mean that I'm poor either. I'm more like a middle class lady." 

Jack laughed, "You're like a soccer mom that finally got enough to buy herself something that isn't a new van." 

Ryan added, "Gavin's the father of the soccer- I mean football in your weird country- kids! It all works out." 

Gavin just laughed it off, the awkward tension that started to rise finally consuming the room. Sensing the tension, Michael instantly went into what we were actually supposed to be doing, not wanting to prolong the video because they still needed to record another by the end of the work day. I mentally thanked him as I drove around as Geoff and Jack set up the line-up for the race. I listened since my name was mentioned first.

Geoff instructed, "We'll have the people who we think will be the slowest and work our way up. So, Y/N and Gavin will be first."

Gavin squawked, "What!? Why is my car the shittiest?"   Michael laughed, "Isn't it obvious? Y/N is first and you're obviously second with your crappy car." 

The crew all had their share of jokes and laughter, but I didn't care honestly the only thing on my mind was Gavin and what he said earlier. 

The boys lined their cars on the line of the racing street, spreading out to get different angles. Gavin and I were at the starting point and waiting for the countdown. Gavin cheekily revved his engine, looking at me in real life with a playful smirk on his face. I raised an eyebrow, revving mine back.

Michael sighed, "Stop with the flirting already and just date! We mentioned this before and it's just proving that you two like each other." 

Geoff interrupted, "Okay children, ready? Get set.......GO!" 

We both floored it, Gavin wanting to immediately make me lose the race by slamming into my side. I momentarily braked, sending him flying in the direction he was pushing, and just went on my way. Gavin ending up colliding with a plane and exploding, causing everyone to burst into laughter. 

Gavin pouted, "I thought it would work! Damn it!" 

I smiled, "It was a valiant effort, Gav." 

The races all went along smoothly, me losing to Ryan's supercar in the end. The video ended with Geoff ending it how he normally does. I ended the capture, sending it immediately to myself so I can edit the video. Once it was all set, I sighed to myself. 

I excused myself, "That was fun, but I should go. If you need me within the next few minutes, I'll be in the kitchen." 

Jack asked, "Can you get me a water while you're there?" 

Ryan added, "And a diet coke, please!" 

I nodded my head, "Yeah, I'll be back." 

I turned, leaving the office to go to the kitchen. I zoned out, thinking instantly about Gavin's words. He indirectly confessed to me, but is he serious? I had a feeling that he was, but I couldn't help but doubt myself. I mean, why would he like me, of all people? I wasn't very interesting or beautiful, so I'm sure I wasn't his type. I arrived at the fridge, grabbing the boys' drinks and my own. A hand came into my view, scaring me a bit. I jumped back, looking at the person who did it. My eyes landed on the tall British man that I've had a crush on for awhile now.

  He grabbed his redbull, closing the door and looking at me shyly. Rubbing the back of his neck, Gavin awkwardly tried to start a conversation. I patiently waited, even though I had the urge to leave and never show my face to him again. 

"So, uh.. I'm sorry that everyone was like that during GTA. I feel like it's all my fault." 

I smiled, "No, it's fine. I'm kinda used to the teasing though, so one more thing added to the list of what they'll tease me about isn't horrible." 

Gavin shook his head, "I need to apologize." I asked, both curious and terrified, "Is it true then? You like me?" 

Silence filled the both of us. With the passing moments, they felt like an eternity. 

He sighed after a few seconds, "Yeah, I guess I do." 

I grinned, "That's great, because I feel the same." 

Gavin's eyes widened at my confession, a smile erupting onto his face. 

He asked, "Do you maybe want to go out for dinner? I'm free today if you are." 

I thought about it, nodding my head. 

"Yeah, I'm free. We can get dinner, just pick somewhere and we'll go. I don't care what we get." 

He agreed, turning so he can get back to the office. We both knew that everyone was waiting for him to record their last video. He ended the conversation and left. 

Ever since I arrived into the Fake AH Crew, I was the one who would celebrate everything. I gave gifts and threw parties for everything and anything, the anniversary of someone joining, birthdays, holidays, a successful heist, anything. Recently, I gave a basket of expensive and foreign alcohols to Geoff for his and Griffon's anniversary even though I had nothing to do with it.

Now when it was time to celebrate something about me, no one seemed to care one bit. It was my birthday tomorrow and no one has even mentioned it. If I was doing it, I'd have told the person involved about my plans and that they'd need to keep some time open. The only person that'd be my savior was Jack, who was coming back from a business trip later tonight. 

Before I decided to head out for the night, I decided to have a drink of some of the whiskey that was restocked last week. The past week had been stressful and I secretly hoped that at least my birthday would be great, but it seems quite the opposite. Taking a swig of my whiskey, I spaced out in the kitchen, leaning against the expensive marble counter.

"So what are you doing tomorrow, Y/N?" 

I looked up to see Michael and Gavin stood next to me in the kitchen, waiting for my answer. I blinked, bringing myself back to reality as I tried to find an answer. 

Gavin added, "We wanted to go out to the races and race some of the new cars we've bought."

I shook my head, wanting to just stay home and celebrate by myself, "No I have plans." 

Gavin pouted, "What could be better than wrecking brand new cars?" 

I sighed, slamming the drink and placing the empty glass in the sink. I turned to the two, who looked confused. 

"I'm busy, okay, Gav?! I'm going to go home." 

I grabbed my bag, walking away towards the garage so I can drive home, leaving the two in silence. 

~~~~Third Person POV~~~~

The door slammed, making everyone that heard it jumped at the sudden noise.Gavin looked at Michael, who just looked at Gavin in accusation. Gavin threw his arms up, making a Gavin-like noise. 

"What!? I didn't do anything to them!" 

Michael shrugged, "What else would she be angry about?" 

Gavin pouted, moving to sit next to Ryan on the living room couch. Ryan, who was busy cleaning one of his many guns, didn't seem to care about Gavin's attitude. 

"Why IS Y/N acting like this? I don't understand." 

Ryan suggested, "Maybe we forgot something important. I think I remember Jack talking about it with Y/N before he had to suddenly leave." 

Silence filled the room, the flat screen playing the news within the silence. Everyone seemed to be thinking of the reason why Y/N had left the base angrily, but they all came up with nothing. 

What seemed like minutes later, the familiar sound of a plane's engine whirring brought the attention of everyone in the base. Geoff, who seemed to be just out of bed, even walked into the living room to check up on Jack, rubbing his eyes and yawning. 

Jack came in minutes later, shutting off the plane and taking all of his stuff. Once he was fully inside, all eyes were on him. He looked around, confused, as he set his stuff on the floor next to the couch. 

He looked to Geoff accusingly, "Where is the cake? The decorations? You were in charge of this, Geoff." 

Geoff yawned, "I don't know what you're talking about, Jack. Don't talk nonsense at this time of the night." 

Jack informed him, "Before I left, I told you to get everything ready for Y/N's birthday. You know how much this means to her.. yet you forgot like the horrible parents she already has." 

Geoff's eyes widened. Everyone's minds clicked at the reason why Y/N was angry earlier, and scrambled to get everything ready for a small party. 

Geoff exclaimed, "You could have texted me two days ago!" 

Jack yelled, "I'm not your wife!" 

Jack ordered the cake, Geoff the food, and Michael and Gavin hurriedly got decorations and stupid gifts. Ryan and Ray both went shopping for gifts that they knew Y/N would want, unlike the cans of silly string Gavin was grabbing from the party store, which they broke into since they were closed at such an ungodly hour. They all did this within the next few hours, all of them getting their designated things into the crew's main penthouse by six in the morning. 

Gavin asked, "Who's going to bring Y/N here?" 

Ray suggested, "Well since she hated basically all of us except for Jack, why not let Jack do it?" 

Jack agreed, "I'll tell her that I need for her to do something about the trip that I went to." 

He pulled out his phone, texting Y/N a simple question to come over. Silence filled the room while doing so, hoping she'd respond positively. 

~~~~~Y/N's POV~~~~~~~~

Waking up feeling awake and happy, I showered and dressed myself just after the sun started rising. The ringing of my phone, signalling a text message. Sighing, I grabbed my phone and opened the text message. 

It was from Jack and it read, 'Happy birthday! I'm back and I need to have you come and look over what I've planned with our allies in Vice City, after how about we go out for lunch like I asked?" 

I grinned, feeling happy with Jack's simple ask to go out to eat along with his happy birthday wish. I quickly grabbed my purse and shoes, putting those on. I replied, "Coming now. Be there in a few minutes." 

I couldn't help but wonder why Jack was awake. Surely, he'd want to get some rest since I'm sure he just got in a few hours ago, but this made me happy that he even remembered that it was my birthday. The whole car ride there I had to fight the smile that stayed on my face. 

Taking the elevator up and unlocking the door to the apartment, I had a weird feeling. 

I heard through the door, "She's here!! Everyone shut up!" 

I opened the door, seeing party decorations and a table of food in front of AH, who were all wearing party hats. A banner on the wall read 'Happy Birthday!', and the birthday cake behind Jack told me that they were all having a surprise party for me. 

My eyes widened, and a grin encompassed my entire face. Jack bounded towards me, grabbing my hands in a friendly way to guide me to the boys. 

Everyone shouted, "Happy birthday, Y/N!" 

I asked, "How did you guys do this?"

Jack grinned, "You're welcome." 

Ryan blamed, "Geoff completely forgot. He was supposed to plan this instead of Jack." 

Geoff pouted, "I was busy and my days blurred." 

I laughed, shaking my head, "I know the feeling, Geoff, but you could've set a reminder or something." 

Geoff gestured, "But we're having a party now, so it's fine!" 

We all feasted on the food, talking about this or that. I enjoyed every minute of it, even when Gavin decided to silly string be in the face when I was talking to Jack about his trip to Vice City, and especially when Ryan and Ray smashed each other in the face with cake, which almost turned into a gunfight. The whole party lasted hours, and I couldn't help but feel like it lasted only minutes with everything that was going on. 

To top it off, we all sat on the roof and watched as fireworks went off in the city, which obviously were illegal but none of us cared as each firework went off and the cops were notified, but Gavin luckily helped prevent them from finding us with his computer abilities. 

Geoff asked, "So how was today? Was it good enough for you?"
