Crossing Paths

Chapter 7 - Pestering

Following the huge success of the London MCM videos, those of which Ross was (sort of) praised for again, the somewhat relaxing Viscera Clean-Up Detail videos with Krystal also received a lot of attention from both parties' viewers. As a result, Hat Films earned a few more subscribers for their channel, also vice versa for Krystal's, and they received lots of requests for more.

Trott couldn't believe it, as it had been quite a while since there was a huge demand for more collaborations with someone else, let alone someone outside of the Yogscast. As a result, the brunette excitedly pestered Ross to text Krystal, as well as mentioned her on Twitter to collaborate with them more often. Upon seeing so much interaction between them, the fans were excited for potential new collaborative content.

"@trottimus: more collabs with @stal_rynight ? YES PLEASE"

"@stal_rynight: @trottimus This is the fifth time, Trott! Hahahahaha!"

"@trottimus: @stal_rynight Come on, Stal! Join us and may the hand guide you!"

"@stal_rynight: @trottimus The hand must first e-mail me an invitation to join thy organisation :)"

"@djh3max: @stal_rynight @trottimus the hand does not indulge in such atrocities such as an 'e-mail'!"

"@stal_rynight: @djh3max @trottimus Well then perhaps any one of the hand's subordinates may e-mail the invitation, if there is one :P"

Ross snorted as he read the tweet, slightly catching Smith's attention from across the room. Pocketing his phone after flicking through Twitter one final time, the dark-haired man continued on with some editing. It was not long before he was interrupted by Trott.

"You guys, Overwatch is coming out. Reckon we should stream some beta gameplay tomorrow?" the short man asked, turning his head to and fro between Smith and Ross for confirmation.

Smith shrugged, not really fussed with whatever they would do for the stream tomorrow. It wasn't that he didn't have any choice, really. It was more so that even if they played the worst game ever, playing games with Ross and Trott always turned out fun in the end. Plus, he always got to take the piss out of the shorter man every single time, which was most likely one of his favourite things to do.

"Ross?"

"Yeah, let's try it out. You guys got the beta, right?" Ross countered, earning a nod from Trott and a 'yeah' from Smith.

"Alright, it's settled then!" Trott clapped his hands together once to close the topic, getting up from his seat and heading out of the room to the kitchenette to get something to drink.

A few hours passed by as the trio worked. It wasn't long before Smith decided to call it a day and headed home early. Greeting his friends goodbye with his coat slung over his shoulder, he left the office to Ross and Trott.

Ross' phone buzzed and the dark haired man habitually fished it out of his pocket to check. It had been buzzing frequently all day, since the past week or so, and Trott noticed. It used to irritate the brunette for a while, since he could very clearly hear the vibrating whirring of Ross' phone, even if it was switched on silent mode. Now Trott was indifferent to it. He knew the taller man and Krystal have been talking a lot recently but, frankly, it wasn't his business to pry in Ross' personal life. However, if Ross showed any signs of slowing down in his editing duties, Trott would have to set his foot down. That would hopefully be not the case.

'Speaking of Krystal, maybe it would be a good idea to have her stream with us', Trott thought to himself. Even though they invited her over the other time, the girl was unfortunately unable to make it and they didn't follow up on it since.
