"OMG (Y/N), did you get wind of the James Charles drama recently?!" 

A loud and all too familiar voice rung in your eardrums, you groaned under your breath.

'Why do they have to yell like that?' You rolled your eyes as you spun in your computer chair, facing your friend of more than three years now. 

You have been friends with them since 7th grade and they haven't changed one bit. You loved them, they are the most honest and the funniest person in this entire school. Even if they were loud, annoying, and awfully unaware of their surroundings sometimes. Luckily you were in the computer lab and the teacher was somewhere in the hallways eating his donut and discussing boring school stuff with another faculty member. 

You paused before answering.

"Huh, no.. And I don't really care-" 

"Allegedly he's a predator!! Who would have thought?" They were flailing their arms, their upsetness unfiltered.

Your eyes widened. 'Okay, that's really fucking creepy.'

You watched as your friend rambled about all the things he has said and done, from texting with minors inappropriately to sending naked photos. You interrupted them, grasping them by their shoulders and shaking them lightly.

"Relax for a second, Bug." They stuttered but finally stopped talking.

You looked them in the eyes, talking calmly.

"This James Carl or whatever-"

"James Charles-"

"Yeah yeah, listen. What he does, doesn't concern me. But if you are right and the proof is legitimate, you won't have to worry. He'll face consequences." You turned your head to see the curious glances of your classmates when they met your eyes they quickly turned away. 

You sighed, Bug's shaking stopped. They get riled up too easily and that gives them headaches and nausea throughout the day. They may seem excited and passionate but they can't control the energy outlet. They once had to be hospitalized because they fainted while holding a presentation about pedophilia and dangers on the web. They were a born researcher and commentator but they need rest too, so that's where you come in, you are calm and collected compared to Bug. You compliment each other well and you happen to share all of your classes. And you made it your duty to keep them in check and they help you with the subjects you struggle with usually. Symbiotic.

Their expression relaxed and rested in a calm and thoughtful pout.

"You're right (Y/N), I'm just angry he doesn't get the backlash like anyone else. Like- his subscribers are all brainwashed and stupid to still support him, I can't-"

"Bug, bug, it's going to be okay," you rubbed their back, you were stressed in situations like this because you couldn't really help Bug as much as you wanted to. They sighed, exhaustion hitting them like clockwork. 

When they calmed down and returned to their desk you did, too.

'James Charles a predator, huh? Apropos, did he upload anything..'

You moved the cursor to open a new tab and typed in the web address of Youtube, you looked up his name in the search bar and felt your heart drop into your pants.

"Face reveal!" You accidentally shouted, you immediately covered your mouth with your hands, turning your head to see some classmates giving you side glances. You then turned to see Bug with their head on their desk, you felt something painful in your gut, it made you ready to jump up and check on them. But when you strained your neck and looked over their shoulder you saw them on their phone, chatting on discord, it put you at ease. 

'Never-fucking-mind.' You rested your hand on your chest, where your heart was drumming against your ribcage.

You plugged your headphones into the audio outlet of the old PC and clicked on the video.

Your pupils dilated when they were met with an unfamiliar face combined with an all-too-familiar voice. 'What... This is Pegasus?'

You felt your cheeks heat up and your eyes were roaming his room and you found yourself appreciating his fluffy hair until your eyes fixated on his face, or rather his eyes. 

'He's so cute.' You were excited and in a way proud, since you knew him from his first few videos and now he has over half a million subscribers and he is good-looking, too!

You decided to watch more of his videos just so you could imagine his expression and his face while listening to his voice-over. You decided to leave a comment on his newest video since it was up only for 2 minutes, your heart raced, you hoped he would read it. 

"You may not be a cute anime girl but you are a handsome anime boy. It's a win either way. :)"

You watched his older videos and went to the comment section, to your surprise there were no hearts which made you a little saddened since you would never know if he ever read yours if he hasn't read the most popular comments. 

You went to check on the newest video again, reading the new comments until you came across yours, which you posted 30 minutes ago. You were surprised by the hundreds of likes and even more when you saw a heart next to your comment. At that moment your heart decided to make itself known as well.

"Oh my- He read and liked my comment.." You whispered, your heart raced and you felt tingly with happiness. Before you could do anything else the bell rang, the students started leaving by themselves since the teachers never bother dismissing them when they studied in the computer lab. 

You turned to see Bug getting up as well, their cheeks reddened and a flustered but soft expression on their face. You eyed them, tilting your head in confusion.

"Are you... blushing?" You asked, hesitant to use the word "blush" since you've never seen anyone in real life blush without physical labor being involved. And since Bug is very tanned and their cheeks appeared as actual red-ish color.

Bug returned from their trance, furrowing their brows and covering their cheeks. 

"Huh, no way!!" They yelled, making you flinch and cover your ears. But before you could further question them, they were already outside the door and down the hallway. You could only watch their back, watching them slowly disappear in the crowd. You didn't bother chasing after them, since it was your last period and they lived somewhere way different from you.

You narrowed your eyes at the long-gone Bug, rubbing the back of your neck. 

"Man, I must have been slouching this whole time." You murmured, pulling out your phone and throwing your backpack over your shoulder swiftly. You walked down the hall slowly, when you felt your phone vibrate. You received a message from no other than Bug.

"Sorry (Y/N) >_< I have an important appointment with someone!!"

"I'll tell you everything tomorrow, or on discord!! Ik you never go on there soooo, see ya tomorrow!!"

"xP"

You shook your head, fascinated at how effortlessly Bug has blurred the line between ironic and unironic writing.

"Yee, see you tomorrow. You know, you can't run away from me. >:D"

You smirked, counting to three. And on three, you received a message back.

"Meanie :<"

You snorted softly, smiling at the message and leaving the messenger. You tapped on your music app and plugged in your headphones, humming softly. 

You didn't realize that your taste of music had changed that day, you seemed to have a preference for love songs.
