Now it has smut
You're welcome
(Go check out the other stuff they've written, it's great. But I can't force you to do anything so.... Whatever.)
Rule 39: Under no circumstances may any romantic relationship be formed with another member of Game Grumps or anyone affiliated with Game Grumps after its creation
You stared at the stupid rule of the contract you signed when you joined Game Grumps. You didn't think anything of it at first, but now you were beating yourself up over it. How could you sign that contract with the only good choice working only ten feet from you?!
You realized your crush for Barry about two months ago, and have been avoiding him for the last month. When he recorded, you edited. And when he wasn't recording, you slept all day and worked at night in the Grump space. You hadn't seen his face in 4 weeks 3 days and 7 hours. Not that you counted. That would be creepy. Not that it mattered since his face was permanently etched into your brain.
You were pulled out of your thoughts when Dan came up to you and plonked himself down in the chair next to your desk.
"Hey y/n! Wanna chill at your place later with Barry, me, and several boxes of Thai?" Danny asked happily. You couldn't help but smile.
"Sure!" You exclaimed before you could stop yourself.
"Great! See you later!" Dan walked off, leaving you to realize your mistake. How could you face Barry after all this time?
And yet you found yourself driving home and diligently cleaning soon after, anticipation rising in your stomach.
Later on, the doorbell rang. You sighed, and went to answer the door. You opened it and stepped aside to let Barry in first with the food, being careful not to look at him, and Dan soon after.
"Let's play some fucking games!" Danny yelled, plonking himself down in the middle of the couch. You heard Barry set the food down on the coffee table as you shut and locked the door. You went to the living room and sat down on Dan's right. He had already started up Super Smash Bros.
Barry and Dan played each other mostly, and you duked it out with Dan on occasion. Later into the night, someone busted out the beer and liquor. After 2 beers and 2 shots each, Barry and Dan were laughing like idiots. You, however, we not responding as well to the alcohol.
You couldn't stop thinking about how close Barry was to you. You couldn't stop thinking about him period. It didn't help when Dan stood up, proudly announcing that he had to "take a MASSIVE shit" and went to the bathroom. The Super Smash music played in the background of the silence between you and Barry.
"I think he just went to cry like the little girl he is." Barry joked. You couldn't help but laugh at his joke. Barry's own laughter and smile trailed off, though you couldn't see the latter. "That's the first sound I've heard from you in over a month." Your laughter faded out and your smile dropped. You didn't think he'd notice.
You picked up the Wii remote, hoping to ignore it with more video games, but Barry turned off the tv.
"Did I do something wrong?" You shook your head ever so slightly, but he noticed anyway.
"Then what's wrong? Why won't you look at me?" You felt Barry scoot closer to you. You ignored him, trying to buy time until Dan got back.
"Look at me." Another scoot.
"No." You said quietly. The last scoot. He was right next to you now.
"Why not?" Barry asked. You sighed softly.
