Toaster Troubles

I can't believe I have this many readers already, thank you so much, guys! I feel like some kind of rising star or something 😁

Anyway, I was looking at the stats of my book because I find them really interesting, and I looked at the map and I apparently have readers in India and Germany and a bunch of other countries. I find that so awesome, that someone on the complete opposite side of this giant planet is reading my work!

Sorry I haven't updated in over a week, I've been trying to for the last four days but whenever I tried to add a new part it wouldn't let me 😤 I've solved the problem now, though! 

OH AND BY THE FREAKING WAY, I promised my Wattpad friend SecretWriter1444 that I would give them a shout out before I started writing this book, but I totally forgot! So here is her shout out now! If you like Minizerk, I'm sure you will love her, she writes it so fabulously, and if you don't, why are you here?! I especially recommend her book The Eyes of an Angel, which I do believe she is writing again after a hiatus thanks to yours truly (I'm fabulous like that 😘).

I wrote her smut for that book because she was too embarrassed as well, so if you want smut written by me, go look there 😏 (Not that there won't be smut in this book because there totally will be!) Wow, that was a long authors note, sorry guys! ON WITH THE GAYNESS BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT YOU GUYS ARE REALLY HERE FOR!

It was the next morning, and Simon was making toast for himself while Vik was busy besides him, whipping up a bacon sandwich (Which Simon was far too lazy to do at 9 in the freaking morning, thank you very much) He had considered chatting to JB_ZRK on the phone while he waited, but he doubted the guy would have much to report after one night, unless he got very, very lucky. Instead, he opted for staring out the window in thought yet again.

 Simon was worried about JB_ZRK's friend. He never did catch his name, but he had a feeling that he had worked out his. He had tried his best to cover it up, but he overreacted way too much for it to possibly be over Simon saying "bare" From this, Simon deduced that this guy must know he is actually a big Youtuber. It was the only thing he could think of that fit.

It could be worse, Simon supposed. JB_ZRK's friend could have been a massive fanboy, but he seemed alright. Not to mention he had obviously left JB_ZRK in the dark about his identity, because if he hadn't, JB_ZRK most certainly would have brought it up by now.

"Ummm... Simon?" Vik asked, jolting Simon out of his trancelike state.

"Huh?" Simon looked over at him. He was cutting his now finished sandwich into some kind of weird shape that certainly wasn't a triangle, rectangle or square.

"You've been staring out the window for the last ten minutes, your toast is gonna be-"

Crackle... BOOM! A spark of electric came crackling out of the toaster...

And a few seconds later the whole thing blew up.

"HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK?! AHH!" Vik shouted in alarm at the top of his lungs as he darted under the island in panic. Simon had already done the same, adrenaline thankfully making him quick on his feet. He had been scared shitless.

"OH MY GOD VIK, WE NEED TO GET RID OF THE FIRE QUICKLY! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" Simon screamed, his mind and heart in overdrive. He had never seen anything like it. Their once toaster was now little pieces alight with flame.

Vik was about to open his mouth to reply when JJ came downstairs and into the room at breakneck speed. He stared at the mess that was the toaster in awe for a few seconds, before noticing Vik under the island and running towards them.

"Vik holy fuck what happened?! Are you ok? Injured at all? Do you need medical attention?!" JJ asked, his face filled with worry. Simon had been left completely unnoticed. Still, he couldn't help but grin a little at JJ's concern for Vik. If the situation wasn't what it was,  Simon would have shouted how much he shipped it.

Vik, who was now slightly blushing, coughed and pointed at Simon.

"OH AND SIMON TOO, DIDN'T SEE YOU THERE!" He grinned. Simon scoffed.

"Now really isn't the time JJ, we need to put out the fire before the whole kitchen is set alight!" He replied, frustrated. Before JJ could reply though, A loud sound came from the other side of the room, and the next thing the boys knew, the fire was being doused in white foam. 

Finally feeling less panicked, Simon poked his head out from under the island and saw Josh, fire extinguisher in hand spraying the flames. After he seemed completely sure the fire had been put out, he said: "Whoever's under the island, it's safe to come out!"

Vik, JJ, and Simon scrambled out from their hiding place to face Josh. Simon admitted, he looked pretty fucking good at that moment: Fire extinguisher in one hand, hair still wet and swept back, and holy fuck he's half naked.

Simon set all those thoughts aside for the time being, and without hesitation ran towards the brown haired man, surprising him with a bear hug.

"Oh my god Josh, you are my fucking hero!" Simon proclaimed, squishing the life out of him as he breathed in his scent of vanilla. Josh laughed, hugging Simon back much to his surprise. After slightly too long a time to be acceptable for a friendly hug (but too short to Simon all the same) Simon reluctantly let go of Josh. 

"Glad I can be of service, but does someone wanna tell me what the shit happened here?" Josh asked as JJ and Vik came over.

"Yeah, I wanna know this too fam." JJ agreed.

"I honestly have no idea, Simon was making toast when the thing crackled then fucking exploded," Vik explained, still looking a bit shook.

"I'm honestly not too surprised, that toasters been acting up a lot lately," Josh said.

"I burnt my fucking finger on it last week, it's about fucking time we got a new one anyway. Thank the lord you guys didn't get injured though." JJ added.

"I'll go out in a couple of minutes and buy a new one, I was gonna go to the shop anyway. Simon, do you want to come with?" Josh asked, smiling at him warmly. 

"Of course!" Simon chirped.

"Alright then, let's meet in the front of the house at 10, agreed?"

"A-freakin' greed." Simon grinned back at him. Josh rushed back up to his room, and Simon turned to the others.

"I ship it," Vik smirked cheekily.

"Fuck off, I'm straight." Simon lied right through his teeth.

"Sureeee..." Vik retorted teasingly. JJ chuckled madly. Simon just groaned and shoved past them, going up to his room to get ready to go shopping. 

On his way out the kitchen, Simon walked past the oven and the mess that was once their toaster and saw the sandwich that Vik had been making before everything had gone to hell.

It was heart shaped.

What a fucking hypocrite, Simon thought, grinning to himself. Kstar is totally real!
