I walked up to Will's door, my smile trying to push it's way through, and softly knocked on his door.

"Streaming!" He responded.

I opened the door a crack, seeing that he had twisted himself around to look at me. "What's up?"

I smiled, quite proud. "My YouTube channel hit 2 million subscribers. Just thought that was neat."

His eyes went wide, and a smile made it's presence on his face. "You should stream," he said suddenly.

I opened my mouth to argue, but I couldn't deny that I hadn't thought about it before. Sure, the idea of gaming in front of a large, diverse audience scared me, but when I was sitting on Will's stream I found it quite exhilarating. Plus, his face seemed to light up at certain interactions with his fans, and I couldn't help but envy that.

I spoke slowly, giving each word much more thought than I ever gave my high school projects, "If my YouTube channel hits 3 million before the start of July, I will buy a PC and stream on Twitch."

Will turned back to his moniter so fast, I was afraid he would get whiplash. "Go go go! YouTube.com/'Romeora.' Oh, and Ari?" He said, turning back to me.

I cocked my head, urging him on. "Remind me to talk to you about something after stream."

"...Did I do something?" I asked. I burst out laughing when his face morphed into one of panic.

"No no no, I just need to talk to you about something after stream, it's nothing bad. You're a great flatmate, you're so cool, all hail Aurora," he rambled, only making me laugh harder.

It took a few minutes, but when I caught my breath I stood upright again. "Alright, I'm gonna go make lunch. Later loser," I said, sashaying my way out the door, closing it as I left.

I smiled, pulling out pots and pans, ingredients, knives, and a cutting board, letting myself sink into a sense of ease and comfort. Cooking was always very calming to me, as long as no one was getting in my way.

As I finished making lunch, shrimp scampi with spaghetti noodles tossed in garlic butter, I heard footsteps in the hallway, alerting me that Will was done with his stream.

"Hey, perfect timing; lunch is ready," I said, turning the heat off and twirling to the other side of the kitchen to grab two bowls for Will and I. I dished a bowl up for me, grabbing a fork as I walked into the front room and turned on the tv.

"Before we watch anything, I need to ask you something," he said. I turned my head to him, placing my remote down and giving him my full attention.

"Mark, Joe, Ash, and I decided that we're going to rent a cottage on the Isle of Wight for a few weeks. They want to know if you want to come along, and I think they want to meet you too." I nodded, playing with the idea in my head while chewing on the skin around my nails.

"Would I be intruding?" I asked, looking at the skin I had just chewed with a frown. Chewing the skin there was a nervous habit of mine, so I rubbed it and placed my hands in my lap, ignoring the glance Wilbur sent my finger.

"Nope," he replied. "Maybe you'll even help generate ideas, who knows?"

I smiled, thankful for everything that had been happening as of recently. But mainly, thankful for Will.

"Sure, sounds fun," I finally replied.

"Also, I got a car today."

"When? You've been in your room all day!"
