OMG it's Monday! And you know what that means!

New chapter! I hope you guys are doing well and having a good day. For me, it's been a year since my favorite memory happened - talking to Aryia on a Zoom call :') so I'm feeling kinda emotional thinking about it because I love him so much :') and I'll probably go rewatch it after uploading this chapter.

Summary: Aryia and Evra play hide and clap at Sam and Colby's before heading to Boston to make music with their friends

Two weeks after Aryia's birthday where he'd gone to the gym, opened gifts from us and the fans on stream and spent the day in the park with me before a romantic dinner date, we'd gone to the Trap House for game night.

"Good morning everybody! We are back with the whole crowd!" Sam exclaimed into the camera he was holding.

Despite saying this however, Sam had made a huge contradiction as it was currently 8pm and there was only a small portion of our friend group with us. The rest of the KRAC House had all been busy on dates with their significant others and were therefore unable to attend. Despite this however, Aryia and I joined the rest of our friends at the Trap House for a small game night get-together and were sitting on the couches in their living room as Sam filmed his Conjuring Hide and Seek video.

"Everybody introduce yourself!" Sam requested, holding the camera in front of us all, panning it around the room. I was sitting in the following order from left to right: Griffin, Matt, Colby, Aryia – with me on his lap – Sarah, Kat, Abbey, and finally Xepher.

Aryia had comically introduced himself as Jason which got a few laughs before he corrected himself and introduced himself using his real name as opposed to the one my ex shared with his alter ego. It had also made me blush – something only Aryia and Colby had noticed – as I hid my face in Ayria's neck and kissed him there before he tickled my sides, silently telling me that he would kiss me later and that I should listen to Sam explaining the video.

"So we are playing Hide and Clap. The Hide and Seek version of The Conjuring."

"We just came back from making a video!!" Colby yelled excitedly, making me jump as everyone let out a collective "Ohhh~" or a squeal.

Things had been okay with Colby since the last time we spoke. We hadn't hung out with him as much as we had at the start of 2020 but I had felt myself slowly drifting away from him between our phone calls and even less frequent visits. I didn't mind it much since Aryia was my boyfriend and the man I loved, but it still made me uneasy knowing that Colby still had feelings for me.

Sam did a promotion for the video that he and Colby had filmed the previous week before explaining what the video entailed. To sum it up, it was essentially regular hide and seek but us and our friends had to clap every time Sam told us to. We could only pick one hiding spot and if we moved, we would have to clap the entire time. Sam explained that we would have to clap fast as if we were giving a round of applause which we all did, applauding him as he bowed and thanked us.

"One question!" Aryia asked, raising his hand.

"Yes. Aryia?"

"Can I hide with Evra?"

I saw Colby eying us. 'Definitely still has feelings for me.' I thought. 'That much was made clear when he asked me to film the car video with Sam back in December.' I couldn't let it bother me though. Colby was a nice guy, and sure he was admittedly good-looking but my feelings could never go beyond friendship for Colby. '"Fun but temporary"... What the fuck was I thinking?'
