(A/N:Hi everyone. Carson is no longer in this story, I'm still deciding whether or not to edit him out or just continue but I'm just itching to write more stuff. Let's get to it.)

It has been several months since you were in LA. The rest of the trip went well, yet Schlatt and you never really knew where to go after you two kissed.

Not long after you got back home, the world metaphorically shit it's pants. So that definitely prevented you from budding any sort of relationship with Schlatt. You two have of course kept in touch, but you two have morphed into "friends who kissed one time but refuse to acknowledge it out of fear of losing a friend". You've been dying to see him in person, but the world has been serving you nothing but anxiety and very dry hands from all the hand washing.

Now here you are, wrapping up another stream, with a much bigger audience then you did at the beginning of the year. You thank the last few donations before you say one final message,

"I just have a quick announcement before I go you guys, I'm not gonna be streaming tomorrow on New Year's Eve slash Day, not because I'm going to Saddle Ranch, or anything like that, I just thought I deserved a nice quiet end to this year. Also I wanna be able to cry without you guys laughing at me. Just kidding."

You laugh.

"I hope you all have a wonderful new year, and don't you dare go out partying, I'll find you and have the mods ban you, love you!"

You wave and kiss everyone goodbye, sending them to raid Ted, who was still streaming from his new apartment in LA. You actually visited him in Mass when he was home for the holidays. You actually got to meet his family briefly, as you went to go pick him up. Being the charmer you are, you brought them a bottle of wine and a card. You two were only going to go just randomly hang out around the nearest city, but you still made the several hour drive just to see him. You liked the guy that much.

(FLASHBACK BITCHES)
"Are you ever gonna tell Schlatt how you feel? You can't just keep pretending to be just friends when you both know you're not," you remember Ted saying to you as he took another bite of his food.

"I don't know ok? How do you know he feels the same?" you say, awkwardly piercing a cherry tomato with your fork.

"Well he kissed you first didn't he?" Ted says plainly, as if you were the dumbest person alive.

"But how do you know he STILL feels the same?"

"Because every time I talk to him about you he turns into a tomato." He says very matter-of-factly. You look down at the cherry tomato you still have on your fork.

"I guess I see your point," you mumble, making Ted giggle at your embarrassment.

(END OF FLASHBACK)

"I guess she likes me that much!" You hear Ted say, breaking you out of your thoughts, who after thanking you for the raid tells a quick summary of you driving 4 hours just to have lunch. You see his chat put "aww's" and "friendship goals"

"Totally worth it! Miss you so much :(" you type in chat. He smiles.
"Miss you too!" He responds. After saying goodnight, you go to check your discord, even before you could check messages, Schlatt is calling you. He hasn't called you as frequently as he used to, so this was a surprise. After a few moments of checking yourself in the mirror on your desk before answering.

"Hello?"

"Hey,"

"Hey!"

There he is. He's sitting in his office chair. You notice he's wearing a t shirt for once in his life, showing his arms. He looks fit, yet slim, but he definitely looks good.

"Look, I have a request for you" he says, breaking out of your fixed gaze on his arms.

"Go ahead," you say, resting your chin on your hand, leaning towards the camera in interest.

"Do you wanna hang out for New Years?" He says. You blink. You haven't gotten an invitation to go places very much in this past year, so every time you are offered, you are gobsmacked.

"You're not holding a party are you?" You ask concerned.

"Oh hell no," he barks back playfully, "I just don't want to be alone." He says in a more hushed tone as he continues, "and I want to see you."

Your heart stutters and rattles when you hear this, watching his face as he looks down to avoid your gaze.

"I want to see you too," you say with a smile, getting one from his as well,"Good news for you, I got tested a few days ago, and I am all good."

"Same here."

"Good. I'll bring champagne" you laugh. He chuckles,

"I'll text you my address. I have enough food and wine so don't worry about that. Also if we get too drunk I'll go in my couch and you can have the bed," he says. This doesn't make you super flustered, because you know you're gonna get shit faced. (It's New Years! Why not?)

"That would be really nice of you thank you," you say.

"Should I text you my address?"

"Yeah. Duh,"

"I'd recommend an Uber or taxi if you can pay, the subway is gonna be absolutely nuts."

"Yeah that's what I'm planning on. Should I come over at like 9:30?"

"Yeah that sounds perfect,"

"Alright. I'll see you then. Goodnight Schlatt."

"Goodnight Y/n"

You end the call and immediately flail your arms in glee, giggling like a little girl. You finally get to see him.
