Hi again! Thanks for sticking with the book! I hope it continues to entertain you! ^^

Vik was cooking a pizza when Simon came downstairs. There was no evidence for the video they had been doing before, except for several ice cream containers in the bin. Vik smiled at him as he walked in.

"Pizza?" Vik asked by way of greeting.

"Sure. Should I go ask the guys if they want any too?" Simon replied. Vik nodded and went back to slicing the pizza.

Simon knocked on JJ's door first. There could be rustling heard from inside, and then the door opened to reveal a slightly flustered KSI. Simon grinned knowingly.

"And what were you doing in there JJ?" He smirked. JJ glared back at him.

"None of your fucking business fam, what do ya' want?" JJ huffed.

"Vik made pizza. Wanna come down and eat, or are you gonna be antisocial?"

"Alright, whatever man. I'm coming."

"Good, I'm gonna go ask Josh, see you in a sec." Simon sprinted off in the direction of Josh's room. He forgot to knock on the door, instead bursting in and hopping on Josh's bed, narrowly missing the bearded man's legs. He was on his phone, scrolling thoughtfully. Simon saw a flash of blue and pink before Josh turned off his phone and looked up at him. He chuckled lightly.

"And what was that dramatic entrance for?" He asked, sitting up. Simon grinned at his tone.

"Vik made pizza." Was all Simon had to say before Josh was off of his bed and half way across the room. Any mention of food would always grab his attention.

Being the childish guy he was, Simon just had to turn this into a race. He hopped off of the bed and darted out of the door, barging Josh out the way. He grinned teasingly behind him, shouting "You can't catch me!"

As it turned out, Josh very much could catch Simon. Literally. In fact, as Simon was flying down the stairway, he felt a hard tug on his T-shirt and was yanked back. Unfortunately though, Josh's plan backfired, and Simon ended up tumbling onto Josh, knocking him over.

Simon's brain short circuited. Should he play it cool and rub it off as a joke, or apologize? He quickly decided the former option would be better. Before he had a chance to get up though, he saw Vik standing at the bottom of the stairs with an amused look on his face.

Vik Staired at Simon. Simon stared at Vik. How should he explain this? Ah, fuck it. Explanations were for nerds. "No homo bro" Simon blurted, quickly getting off of Josh. Idiot! Now you've made it awkward! Vik and Josh chuckled lightly trying to ease off the silence. The three walked into the kitchen without another word.

Dinner was an interesting affair. JJ choked on his food when Josh told him about the incident on the stairs, and Vik had to pat him on the back. Afterward, JJ started having an argument with Simon over the tweet about the toaster, which ended abruptly when Josh choked, but it was Simon who was the superhero this time. Now though, Simon lay in his bed thinking of video ideas.

He had been finding it difficult to find inspiration lately. The other guys had some great ideas, but Simon didn't want to steal them off of them unless he had to. However, it was getting to the point where he did.

Deciding to (Yet again) give up on thinking, he switched on his computer and edited and uploaded a Cards against Humanity video he had totally forgotten about. After that, though, he found himself pretty tired and opted to call it a day.

The only recording sessions they had were in the morning, as Vik and JJ's sleeping schedules were fucked up, and they were sleeping halfway through the day, so there was nothing for Simon to do, except maybe record an episode of Fifa, which he wasn't really in the mood for.

As he laid his head down on the pillow, Simon remembered with a grin about Lotus. He wondered what weird and wonderful people would await him when he woke up. When he eventually drifted off to sleep, his dreams were filled with romance and excitement.
