Stuck in the Middle (An Eddievr, Mully, and Juicy Fanfic)

Chapter 6: Awkward Recordings

Mully's POV
"Okay is everything set up?" I asked, looking over at Gaege and Eddie. I realized that they weren't paying attention. They both began to laugh, and I crossed my arms.
"Eddie! Juicy!" I said again, bringing their focus back to the recording with a frustrated sigh. "Did you even get the camera?"
Eddie stared at me with a puzzled expression for a moment before saying, "Oh! Uh, right! The camera... um.." I frowned, making him shake his head. "Don't worry! I'll go get it." He smiled sheepishly, "Hold on a sec."
He rushed out of the room before I could say more, leaving me alone with Juicy. "I don't understand how you put up with that guy on a daily basis," Juicy crossed his arms, letting out an airy laugh. "He confuses the shit out of me sometimes."
"You get used to it I guess," I smiled to myself, "When you love someone enough, you tend to ignore their flaws."
Juicy was silent for a moment, and I couldn't tell what he was thinking. "What's wrong mate?" I asked him, putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's nothing," Gaege answered with a small sigh. "Things have just been rough for the past couple days. But you and Eddie are making it a lot easier for me to cope." I patted his back gently before saying, "Hey, no worries. And if you ever need someone to talk to, you can come to me or Eddie. We'll listen to ya, we promise."
Eddie then entered the room again, and Gaege and I moved on from our conversation. "Okay, I got the camera," Eddie smiled proudly, "Where do you want me to set it up?"
Gaege stroked his chin before pointing to a spot in the room. "We can sit here while we talk and set the tripod to face this direction," Gaege began explaining as Eddie began attaching the camera to the tripod.
I suddenly noticed Gaege put a hand on his arm, slowly bringing it down to Eddie's hands. Eddie didn't stop him or react to it at all, but I felt heat rush into my cheeks. It was a simple gesture. Surely an easy one to miss. But why did I have an uneasy feeling in my chest about it?
Eddie's eyes flickered to me before pulling away from Gaege, taking a step back. "There, ready!"
We began recording and put on our best, smiling faces, despite the fact that we were crushed into a small couch I had in my office. Gaege was yelling unnecessarily loud like usual, Eddie started arguing to him in Spanish, and of course, I shook my head with a sigh. "Sometimes I just don't understand you guys," I chuckled, leaning back against the couch.
Eddie jokingly nudged Juicy's shoulder, "Ay puto! Get your hand off me dawg, shit." Juicy laughed, "I'm literally not even doing anything! You're just being fucking dramatic like usual!"
"Dramatic? You're the one who's being all gay to me!"
"Gay? You're calling me gay? You're literally dating Mully."
My cheeks flushed a dark shade of red when Eddie smirked at me, but I quickly looked away before the camera could catch it. "So?" He answered, then leaning forward towards Juicy, "I can't have a little fun?" Juicy froze, taken aback by Eddie's sudden change in moods. His eyes flickered to me for help, and I quickly put a stop to it.
"Woah, woah, woah. Calm the fuck down," I grabbed Eddie's shoulder, pulling him away from Juicy before things grew too heated. "Dating me, remember?" Eddie gave me a soft kiss on the cheek, "I know mi amor. It was a joke."
Juicy scrunched up his nose when Eddie kissed me, crossing his arms before frowning. "On camera? Really?" Juicy shook his head, "I'm done with this cuteness dude. I'm going to hang out with the cat."
Eddie and I laughed as he stood up, running to go get the cat before we could end the video. "Well, hope you enjoyed!" I began to say before hearing Juicy shout from the hallway. "Wait! Waaait!!"
"Eddie, hurry! End the video before he fucking comes!" I joked, glancing out the hallway again. Eddie took a deep breath before shouting, "I'm going to see you all next time bye-"
Juicy then hurried in with the cat in his arms, picking him up in front of the camera. "Say bye kiggy," He said in his childlike voice, laughing when the cat sniffed the camera suspiciously.
We ended the recording there before the cat could jump out of Juicy's arms, confused as to why it was shoved in front of a shiny, black camera.
"Good job boys," Eddie said, putting a hand on my shoulder, "Even if things got out of control in the end." Juicy laughed, rubbing the back of his neck, "Sorry about that. I thought it would be funny."
I looked between Juicy and Eddie, who both were silent for a moment. Eddie looked away, pressing his lips into a line before Juicy could see. He seemed upset for some reason, but I couldn't understand why. Juicy merely crossed his arms, staring mindlessly in the opposite direction.
"Why don't we go eat dinner already?" I asked before it could grow more awkward, "I think there's leftover pasta in the fridge."
"Oh, yeah! That sounds good," Juicy answered, seeming slightly relieved after the awkward silence. A concerned frown formed on my face as he walked away, glancing at Eddie with a quizzical look.
"What?" Eddie crossed his arms. "Nothing," I answered, deciding not to mention the slight moment he had with Juicy.
