Anthony's Addiction (Ianthony)

Chapter One: Initial Suspicion

A/N: New story. I hope you like the first chapter :)

Recently, Ian had been noticing something strange about Anthony. Over the past few weeks he had seemed way more tired than usual, not just the occasional yawn, but properly falling asleep during shoots. It was starting to worry him.

He walked over to the room where Anthony was editing a video. "Anthony, you should go to bed now. You can always finish this off tomorrow."

"But I need to do this now!" Anthony protested. One of the things about him was that if there was a task that needed to be done, he wouldn't focus on anything else until it was completed.

"Fine then," Ian relented, since it was only ten thirty. Technically it wasn't that late yet. "But I'm coming back in half an hour."

"Whatever," Anthony grunted in annoyance and returned his attention to the computer screen. He sighed when he heard Ian close the door behind him and continued adding the finishing touches.

Half an hour's worth of monotonous clicking had passed when Ian returned to the room.

"You ready?" Ian asked him.

"I'm all done," Anthony said, with a sense of satisfaction. It was always such a relief when he finally finished editing a video, although normally it only took about four or five hours to edit a Lunchtime With Smosh video anyway. That was nothing compared to how long it took to edit videos for their main channel.

He turned off the computer and the lights and followed Ian out of the Smosh office. Anthony was just about to go into his room before Ian said to him "Have a good night Anthony."

"You too," he replied.

"I mean it," Ian gave him a serious look. "Get some sleep."

"Okay," Anthony nodded his head slowly and went into his room. He couldn't help pondering over what Ian had just said, and the way he said it. He almost sounded like a protective parent or something.

"Is he onto me?" he whispered to himself. Then he shook his head at the thought. There was no way that Ian could have known about what was going on.
