I yawn, and stretch, and try to come alive after a short night's sleep. We were streaming at 11, which means I had to be awake by 10 and I fell asleep at like 3am. Yes, that's 7 hours of sleep, but I wanted more >:(

"C'mon Willow get upppp" Niki shoves me more

"Ok fineeeee" I whine

"Cooking stream dayyyy" She walks over to my suitcase

"Is that all we're doing today?" I say as I slowly start to actually wake up

"I think we're going out for dinner as well. Then tomorrow we're going to an amusement park and then we leave" She explains as she rummages through my bag

"I don't want y'all to leaveeeeee" I whine again and get out of my bed

She pulls out an outfit "Me neither, Low, but I promise that we'll do it again"

We give each other a small, but warm, hug

"Is this outfit alright?" She asks

I loom at the outfit and question, she had such a fashion taste "Yup! Thanks Niki"

"Sure sure, go get dressed and we can go meet up with everyone downstairs"

I do a small salute and change in the bathroom. It was probably my 2nd favorite outfit that I'd pack. I'll save my favorite for tomorrow.

Grabbing my phone, I head downstairs and yawn. The first person I see look up is Ranboo. I stop slightly, remembering the events of last night.

Ohhhh, I'm definitely blushing. Good going, Will

I continue walking down, averting my gaze from my, now crush. He seemed to do the same so I didn't feel like I was ignoring him. It was a mutual embarrassment. I walk over to Niki

"Heyyyyyy Niki" I say, I definitely didn't cover up the fact I was flustered

"Averting Ranboo, I see?" She asks as she gets milk out the fridge

"Oh shut up. What am I supposed to do? 'Hey Jaxon, so we both know that we almost kissed last night. I actually wished that we did indeed kiss, would you like to do so?'"

She closes the fridge and gives me a blank stare "Yes"

"It's not the easyyyyyy" I whine as we walk over to the pantry and she grabs some cereal

"What's not easy?" Tubbo asks

"Oh, Willow has a-" She starts, not even looking away from her cereal making

"NOTHING" I yell, but not enough to get the whole room's attention

"You're being mighty sus" He speculates

"C'mon Willow, tell him" Niki urges, taking a bite from her cereal

I sigh, I couldn't get out of this conversation without Tubbo being suspicious of me "I..cr...boo" I murmur to where he can't hear me

"Pardon?" Obviously, he couldn't hear me under my mumbling

"She has a crush on Ranboo" Niki says bluntly

"REALLY??" He yells, this time everyone looked over and Niki walks away

"Tubbooooo" I whisper angrily at him

"It's about fuckin time you admit it" He whispers back

"Of course, everyone knows but us, this is classic Wattpad fanfiction.." I put my hands in my face

"I think it's everyone knows but " He corrects

My head shoots up "Huh?" Is all I can get out

"Remember when you guys got "#stealingyourbrother'sgirlfriendpog" on Twitter? That's when he told me that he thought he kinda liked you"

My mouth was agape, disbelief evident in my face "He's liked me for like ?"

"Well, he didn't plain out say he liked you but he went on and on about how amazing you were. It was obvious. He didn't officially say he liked you until we started planning the trip"

I was still in shock "How many people know?"

"I mean, the only people I know he's told is me and Tommy. But I think everyone else can tell. Maybe not George, he's a little slow"

"TOMMY KNOWS??" I accidentally yell

"I know whot?" He asks from the counter, which Ranboo happened to also be at

Me and Tubbo look at each other

"Knowwwww about what we're cooking today. I don't know and Tubbo won't tell me" I quickly make up

He laughs and walks over, away from Ranboo. Of which Wilbur happened to replace the seat with.

"You are shit at making up excuses" He says

"Gee thanks mr. I can't go 2 sentences without cursing"

"Oi! Shut up. We all know you were talking about your little crush on Ranboooo~" He teases

Then him and Tubbo both start teasing me

"Alright, alright! Shut up, please for the love of my sanity" I say angrily

"So did you two smooch?" Tommy asks

"Almost...." I murmur without thinking

"HMMMMM? PARDON ME?" Tommy says, shocked

"What? Did he not tell you?" I ask with slight sarcasm

"He told me" Tubbo says

"That's not fair" Tommy whines

"That's not the problem here, Tommy" I sigh

"So are you going to ask him out?" Tubbo asks

"I don't knowwwww I'm to anxious and what if it was a 'just in the moment thing'"

"It wasn't a 'just moment thing', Willow." Tubbo says sternly

"It could be. Some people think they have feelings for someone until they kiss them and then they don't feel the same way and-"

"Willow." Tommy cuts me off and grabs my shoulders "He likes you"

"We're going to the amusement park tomorrow, aren't we? Ask him then" Tubbo suggests

"I don't know.." Anxiety fills me

Ranboo POV

What are they talking about? They keep looking back at me and it's making me nervous

Suddenly Wilbur sits next to me where Tommy is sitting. That's definitely not suspicious at all

"Hey Jax, how are you?" He asks

"I'm alright, you?"

"Good, good.." He drifts off

Silence fills the two of us, uncomfortable silence

"Soooo, made any moves on Willow?"

"Why do you keep bringing us up?" I ask, avoiding the question

"Avoiding my question, I see?"

This man really can read minds-

I sigh "I like her Wil, I really do"

I look over at Willow who seemed a bit stressed talking to Tubbo and Tommy

"Yes! I was right"

I look over at him with an unimpressed expression

"I mean, I'm so happy for you too?"

"I don't know if she feels the same.." I look down

"Oh come on now, you guys talk all the time. She's always around you and she obviously fancies you. Make a move, big man!"

"Yeah, well, I tried to kiss her last night.."

He gasps

"We were so close, Wil. So incredibly close and then Tommy screamed. She left before I could even say anything about it"

"So it was Tommy's fault you didn't kiss, not that she didn't like you. I can go punch him for you" He corrects

"Yeah but she left so fast. It felt like she was just caught up in the moment and regretted it. I've seen that happen before" I say grimly, ignoring his small joke that failed to make me laugh

He hums in response "I suppose I can see your standpoint. It's not for that to be the case. However, I feel like if you don't try then you'll never know. Shoot your shot. Hell, your whole fandom is practically in love with you, I'm sure the one you love back loves you as well"

"I don't know Wil.." I feel super anxious

*Time skip brought to you by Ranboo's gender*

Willow POV

It was cookin stream time, baby

Me and Ranboo both had our masks and sunglasses on and we're standing next to each other, awkwardly. I guess the tension still remained between us. I swear, if tension could kill, we'd be as dead as L'manburg, no doubt.

"Welcome everyone!" Wilbur says to his stream "Cooking stream time, pog! We got the whole crew, let's name everyone. Go down in order, start with Tubbo"

"Hey chat! It is me, Tubbo"

"The all mighty Tommyinnit"

"I am Ranboo"

"What's up losers? I'm Skylitdreamer"

"Hey guys! I'm Nihuachu, or Niki"

"Uh, I'm Georgenotfound"

"Hey mamas, I'm Sapnap"

"Heyoo, I'm Philza"

"And then behind the camera we have Dream and Technoblade. Say hello, you two!" Wilbur brings out

"Hey chat!" Clay says

"Hulloooo" Techno says

"Today we are each cooking batches of cupcakes! We're going to be in 2 teams of 4 and each team has a manager that's either Dream or Techno. The managers have to read out all the instructions. At the end, Phil will judge the cupcakes and pick a winner"

"My team is superior" Sapnap says

"We don't even know the teams, dumbass" I say

"Theres gonna be 4 people in each team. Tubbo, Tommy, Ranboo, Sky on one team. Then me, Niki, George, and Sapnap"

"How do we figure out the mangers?" George asks

"Let's do a random number generator" Tubbo suggests

"Good idea" Wilbur pulls out his phone "We'll be team 1 and the others will be team 2. Whichever number gets chosen first get's Techno and the other gets Dream"

"How come your team is number 1??" Tommy asks

I sigh "Here we go with the yelling"

"It hasn't even been 10 minutes.." Ranboo adds on

"It's team 2! You lot get Techno and we get Dream" Wilbur announces

*Time skip brought to you by October 2013*

How the hell did we end up like this? The life of streamers I suppose...

Wilbur was handcuffed to Sapnap

I was handcuffed to Ranboo (How ironic)

And entire container of frosting was wiped on the table because Tommy claimed he wanted to "paint with frosting"

Chat couldn't see, but Clay had two eggs on his head. That one was from me and Ranboo

And our cupcakes? I think they were classified as half baked pastries with dollops of sour cream since Tommy used all our frosting for his "masterpiece"

The funniest part is, Phil hadn't even seen them yet. Or even us. He was sat in the farthest away room with headphones blaring music the whole time.

Techno went up to go get him

"We're obviously going to win" Tommy says confidently

"Phil is going to eat our cupcakes and choke and die" Ranboo says and I laugh a bit

"I'd be surprised if he even tries to eat ours" I say as he makes his way downstairs

"AWWW JESUS CHRIST-" He says as he sees the monstrosities

"Why are you handcuffed? And why does Dream have eggs on his head? Wha- I'm so confused" He spews out questions

"The handcuffs were a challenge decided by chat" Wilbur explains

"WHY IS THERE FROSTING ALL OVER THE FUCKIN TABLE??"

"I told you it was a mess, Phil" Techno says blankly

Phil walks over to our cupcakes

"What even happened here? These don't look like cupcakes. Is that even frosting??"

"It's sour cream" I say blankly

"I kinda of used all the frosting for my masterpiece" Tommy says, indicating the smeared frosting in the table

"Of course it was you, this looks like shit" Phil laughs

"HEY THIS WILL BE THE NEXT MONA LISA. I'M THE NEXT DA VINKI OR SHIT" He defends

Phil tastes the cupcakes. Unsurprisingly, the other team wins and we sorrow in our defeat

"There's actually a twist I didn't tell you about" Wilbur says, looking at us

"Of course there is" I roll my eyes and throw my head back

"The loosing team has to...." He pauses for suspense

"Dye their hair red!"

Our mouths open in shock. Of course the minors had to dye their hair

"All of us??" I ask

Wilbur debates it "Chat? You decide. Mods do a pull of all of them, Sky, Ranboo, Tubbo, or Tommy"

Time ticks by but ultimately

We all had to

Well, looks like I'll be dyeing my hair red today...
