Video Games [A Mithzan Love Story]

Nicknames, Feelings, Frustration

—One Month at the offices—Your POV
"DAMMIT!" I yell, almost flipping over my keyboard.
   Me, Max, Okward, and Bri were playing some Gmod Prop Hunt. I was just found, and my character was killed.
   "C'mon, don't be so MadAsh." Bri giggles. I growl.
   "OOOH, girl, she is mad." Okward laughs.
   "Don't make this be so okward man." I say.
   "Just don't be to Sadam." Max chuckles.
   "I heard that!" Adam shouts from his office. We laugh.
   "Okay guys! I think I'm gonna end this video here, we all have things to do and places to be! So leave a like and maybe even karate kick that subscribe button if you want more legendary content! And I will see you all later..." Bri yells.
   "BYE!" we say in unison. Garry's Mod was always fun to play with the guys. Especially with Max.
   I took off my Star Wars Resistance headphones and started wrapping the wire around it. That picture that Ross and Rosa had posted on social media had made things a bit awkward between me and Max. I still think something is going on between Rosa and Ross, Bri and Barney. The girls were very close to me, but that doesn't mean they won't keep their crushes from me.
   But something odd happened. Now, every time I'm around Max, I always have a hint of blush on my cheeks. Why must my damn hormones be doing this to me? I can only think of how handsome he is, how adorable he is when he's angry. How nice and generous he is towards me...
   Red has also been here and in our videos a lot. He also ships AshMax. What a surprise. Sorry that I haven't mentioned him much, he's usually off doing random things that I couldn't care less about.
   Unfortunately, I don't know how he feels about me. It's fine if he loves another girl, I guess. I guess I just don't want him to hate me, or make our friendship awkward, or have him push me away.
   I still need to get a ship name for Ross X Rosa. Rossa maybe? And what about Bri X Barney? [Leave a comment on what their ship names should be!]
   Everyone thinks it's cute how me and Max have lovey-dovey nicknames for each other too, even though we're not dating. Like mine are:
   Ashy, Fire, Chara from Undertale.
His are:
   Maxy, Pretty Boy, Hothead.
   Things like those. I realized I had been sitting at my desk, lost in thought. I glanced at my watch, almost time for my lunch brake.
   "Hey Ash?" Adam asks, sticking his head through my doorway.
   "Yeth mithter?" I say in a derpy voice. He laughs.
   "Maxy, wanted to see if you wanted to do some build battle with me, him, and Shelby." he explains. I nod.
   "I'm in!" I say.
   "Great!" Adam says, and walks over to his own office.
   Max. He wanted me to play with him and the others. How come it was always Max that wanted my to play with him in any video that he was going to be in? It's not that I don't want that, quite the opposite. Just curious, is all.
