As the world caves in

You ready?

Clay opened his sleepy eyes. He saw his bright computer screen in front of him, glowing with a bright blue hue. He looked at the blinding screen searching for a time, 3:56am. The clock at the bottom of the screen was small, and it was blurry. He rubbed his eyes taking his head off the hard desk. Clay looked to his window seeing that it was still dark out he turned toward the desk. He looked at the screen his newest video played back to him. He got his phone.
New message
George😜

——————
He rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked back at the bright monitor. He got back to work. Clay was trying to prerecord a few videos for when he went to minecon. He was so excited for his month vacation! He would also finally meet George in person.
After another hour of editing he posted his sixth manhunt. He clicked his lamp on. He starred at the suit case on his bed half packed.
'Hmmmm what else could I need', clay stood up from his chair. His thighs stuck to it, creating a painful exit. He looked at the clothes in his suit case.
' I feel like I'm missing something...' clay looked over at his night stand.
'I almost forgot a toiletries bag!'
He tiredly stumbled into the bathroom. He flipped on the blinding light and looked over his sink for ideas of what to bring.
"Tooth brush, tooth paste, deodorant," he said out loud to himself. He opened the first drawer in his bathroom. Condoms. Lube. 'Ew why is that my FIRST drawer' clay was disappointed in himself. The products were untouched as he closed the drawer without taking anything out.
He headed back to his room with everything sorted. He placed a small plushy into the suit case. It sat on top of all the important clothes and hoodies he had. It was his good luck charm.
Clay went to his pc he uploaded the schedule for the next month of videos. He finally looked at the clock on his phone again. 6:17am he sighed and opened the message from George.

Clay texted back a quick okay. He got a small backpack and placed a hoodie in it with a few other things as well. Finally he place a laptop in the bag with great care. He zipped it shut. He decided against wearing his merch hoodie on the plane. He didn't want to be recognized until the moment where he walked out on stage and showed his face for the first time. Clay smiled as he thought of the crowd cheering and George and Sapnap smiling.
He shakes his head as he went to Nick's (sapnap) room.
"Hey nick you almost ready" clay said as he stood in the door way.
"Yeah almost done streaming I finished packing already," nick went back and told the stream dream was there.
Clay walked out of the room, 'maybe I should start knocking' he thought as he walked to bring his and Nicks suit case downstairs.
Once everything was ready they headed off for the airport. The Uber brought them very close to the terminal. Nick and clay checked their bags at the check in line and started to go through security.
"Hey is that sapnap???" A fan said a little too loudly from the line over. Nick turned his head round to smile at the fan. Clay leaned over the grey bin he was on top of and pulled his plain white hoodie down further to hide his face.
" your gonna have to get used to that clay." Nick said as the fans waved goodbye.
" I know I just don't want to ruin the surprise just yet, they should wait for it" clay scooted down the line with his laptop in the bin.
"Whatever you say. You just have an ugly face and that's why you don't want to say hi." Nick teased.
"Oh shut up, says you." Clay chuckled slightly and walked through the metal detector.
He and nick went to grab some food before getting on the plane. They sat in the boarding area eating their meal.
"Hey so I'm pretty sure the air b+b has like four rooms" nick said looking at clay.
"Okay and how many people are showing up?" ,Clay took another bite of his food.
"Like eightish" nick looked down.
"Okay so we share rooms. Big deal." Clay said nonchalantly.
"Do you wanna be my room buddy??" Nick looked at clay with big puppy eyes. He was joking but a hint of flirtatiousness creeped in.
"With you? No I can't break George's heart like that." Clay laughed.
" oh come on he's not even here and you still like him better" Nick said jokingly. Looked at his phone and saw a group chat message. "Hey Clay the group chat texted me. They said that they are safe and sound and george has called the biggest room for you and him."
"Told you, he loves me. Everyone does." Clay smiled.
" Your ego is getting too big. I better slap some sense in you boy" Nick held up his hand.
Clay dodged and weaved his first few slap attempts but the last one hit him a little hard.
"Jeez I'm sorry I didn't know that it was gonna hit that hard."
"Kinky", clay said behind a laugh.
Clay and nick boarded the plane. It was about to take off when Clay remembered to text George he was leaving. He sent it just in time before putting his phone on airplane mode. He looked out the cold window next to him. He drifted into sleep. He craved it. Thoughts passed his mind as rest was overcoming him. 'Did I edit that one thing out' 'Nick smells' 'George's laugh is kinda cute' 'Bad better not say language all the time irl' 'wait what was that last one, no the one before that' 'George' 'Stop that you weirdo' 'I'm excited to see him tho' Clay passed out.
