Don't Go Crankin' My Heart

Chapter 3.3

I place the glasses on the counter between Ethan and me before checking on my eggs. Done. I take the pan off the heat and remove the lid, then pop the two slices of bread in the toaster. Once the toast pops up, I grab us some plates and begin to assemble our breakfast. Ethan tried to make my plate for me again but I swatted his hand away playfully. He giggles when I do this but gives in and lets me do my thing. He makes his plate and I hand him his glass of water, walking to the kitchen table to eat our breakfast meal. 

After finishing our breakfast, Ethan takes our dishes to the sink and takes care of them, kissing my temple as he stands. How is it possible for someone to be so sweet? I think to myself. I smile before standing and going back to my room to change. I threw on some black athletic shorts along with another band T, Slipknot. After I change, Ethan walks into the room, smiling as he walks over to me, scooping me into his warm arms. "I'm gonna go grab my clothes from your dryer. Then I'm gonna swing by home, you can come with me if you want?" I look up at him, I've never been to his apartment. The most I've seen was the small background behind him in his YouTube videos. I was nervous, but I responded with "Yeah! I'd love to." "Great!" Ethan chirped back. "Maybe you can meet Ronnie if he's home!" I smiled but inside I was terrified. I wasn't very good at meeting new people. Ethan sensed my uneasiness, squeezing my shoulders he said, "Hey, no worries. Ronnie isn't a total stranger here. He's one of my best friends, he'll adore you." He affirms. I exhale, and some anxiety releases slightly. 

Ethan hugs me again before heading over to my dryer to retrieve his clothing. Walking back and setting his clothes on my bed before saying, "I'm gonna freshen up some before heading out, do you mind if I borrow some skincare?" "Of course!" I lead him to my bathroom, showing him where everything is. Then, I remember my extra stockpile. Stooping down to my sink cabinet, I pull out a basket. "Here, I've got some extra things here you can use. New toothbrushes, tubes of toothpaste, bars of soap, a new hair brush, floss, all of it!" I say rummaging through the basket before handing it to Ethan to pick out his items. He smiles, "Thanks Mav." "No problem, I'll wait on the bed for you." He closes the door and I rush to my dresser, grabbing a new change of underwear and socks, then applying some deodorant and perfume from my vanity. I sat on my bed next to Ethan's clothes, he forgot to bring them into the bathroom with him. I pick up the pile and see his boxers were on top, black with bright yellow rubber ducks all over...He's been going commando this whole time...I blush at the thought. And in my sweatpants...

I step to the bathroom door and slightly knock, "Hey Ethan? You forgot your clothes on the bed." "Oh, you're right! Thanks!" He slightly tugs the door open, peaking his face out with a cute, little smile spread over his pink lips. I hand him the clothes and giggle before heading back and plopping down on the bed on my stomach. Kicking my feet, I scroll through my phone, finding myself on Instagram. I scroll past a friend's post before coming across a CrankGamePlays fangirl page. "Hahaaa!!" I laugh out loud. I click on the page immediately and scroll through the juiciness. Finding edits, fan art, and candid pictures from his channel and collabs. I scroll and stop on a candid shot of Ethan, his tongue out and winking. I felt my face warm and I suddenly felt a hand placed on my shoulder. "Ethan!" I jump immediately and try to hide my phone. Ethan laughs boomingly, a smirk on his face afterward. "Following one of the fan pages I see. Like that candid shot huh?" He jokes. My face was as red as a tomato, I felt so embarrassed. "Hey! Mav, I'm teasing. I feel honored to have you drool over me," he pokes and laughs again. I flick his arm, "Okay, Okay! Lemme wash my face real quick and I'll be ready to go!" I huff and run to the bathroom. Quickly rising my face and drying, running to my vanity to finish off with some moisturizer and mascara. Brushing my hair and placing it back with a deep blue clip, I turn to Ethan, "Ready!" He smirks and we head out, putting on my high-top converse before exiting. Walking to his car, Ethan puts an arm around me and kisses my cheek. Still pouty over the previous incident, I cross my arms and try to put my head down. "Hey now," Ethan turns to me. He lifts my face to him, placing a soft kiss on my plump lips. I melt into him and my grudge vanishes.
