Mykie and Anthony drive back and Anthony tries to stir up some regular small talk but he can't really put his figure on whats bothering her. Mykie's emotions swirl and become so muddied to the point where she doesn't even understand herself how to start the conversation so she goes quiet on him. When the small talk fails Anthony decides to talk about their new show for the main channel called "Bit City" so he can take on less of the pressure of his job to be more present and spend more quality time with her. Mykie reluctantly replies back to him in a low voice.
Mykie: " ..yeah....sounds great..."
Anthony could tell that wouldn't be enough. When they enter the house she immediately turns her back toward him. The bad taste of the delicious Thai food on her tongue still lingering in her breath as she felt her rationality slipping away with every second they were alone in their empty house. Anthony grabs her hand and pulls her closer to him but Mykie can only express tears as she looks up at him. She leaves him with a gentle kiss before pulling away.
Mykie: " I'll be fine...okay? Let's just go to bed for tonight..." Anthony: "yeah, of coarse, of coarse! right! totally.."
Anthony is left alone in the main living room as he starts to overthink the entire night. He eventually gets into bed with her as always and gets ready to hold her close but she rejects him and turns away to face the other side. Anthony stares up at the wall while periodically staring at her back, praying that she's not going to dump him. His thoughts wouldn't let him sleep and he just felt like such an asshole for hurting Mykie like this. Did she not like the new show idea? Was she mad about him ignoring her calls at work? Or why maybe was it at dinner that she started to feel uncomfortable? Maybe even before? What was he doing? How could he fix it? WHY was he ruining his relationship with the best girlfriend he's had in years!?! He felt like the more he worried about it the more depressed he became and the more he felt himself overthinking it suddenly became the next day. Anthony decided to drive to work and hoped she would feel like talking about once their thought were more collected. He walked into the new Smosh building and did his usual routine while cruising down the hallway to his office. He sat down at his office but felt immediately off put. He wasn't feeling like his office was doing him any good so he decided to see what everyone else was doing that day. Anthony took a walk and spotted his best friend holding a script and taking sips of iced matcha while laughing and joking around with the other Smosh cast on the set while getting ready to sit down on the big long couch. He was so exhausted from his thoughts last night but hearing everyone so cheerful that he couldn't help but be in a brighter mood. Anthony smiled and joined in on their conversation. Keith and Noah were getting into a heated debate for an unnecessary amount of time and Anthony was getting ready to sit at the middle left between Noah and Olivia since Courtney and Olivia were already sitting next to Ian. However, the two girls knew it was their cue to help Anthony out since they have been friends with Anthony long enough to know that Anthony is too polite to say where he actually wants to sit. Anthony had tried to decline them but eventually thanks them through a flustered chuckle. He switches seats with Olivia and sits beside Ian (his favorite spot). The cast talk about how fun Bit City will be and ramble on while Ian and Anthony feel a sense of pride knowing that their company is going strong and successful because of the people working under them. Anthony didn't want to kill the mood but things took a turn when he got a text notification from Mykie. He gulped audibly but it was pretty hard to hear since Noah & Keith had gotten even deeper into their pointless argument. Anthony didn't know what the message was but he hoped it wasn't what he thought it was. He felt himself feeling that exhausting feeling again as if something was draining him but he felt guilty for thinking about their relationship as draining. Anthony put away his phone and tried to act like his usual self but struggled to really keep up with everyone pace in the conversation. Ian noticed Anthony was feeling a little off and wasn't sure how to be a good friend to him after tears of bad communication that eventually led to them separating. Ian kept wiping the sweat off his hand on his lap before finally mustering up the courage to lean closer to Anthony.
Ian: "hey, do you need a minute?"
Anthony's ear burned bright as he felt the worries in his heart melting away. Then suddenly Anthony's phone rings..........uh-oh Mykie.
