The Arranged Boyfriend Project

Day 2 || Let's Get Gay

Ash: Helloo!

Matti: [Raises hand] Hej.

Ash: We're back with a second episode of The Arranged Boyfriend Project, all because we sorta ran out of time yesterday. I'm ThatHoneyMoonFiasco, and this is just ... this is just Matti.

Matti: [Grinning]

Ash: If you didn't catch the first episode, go watch that now so that you're all up to speed with what we're doing here, otherwise pretty much none of this will make any sense. Also you get to see my pathetic attempt at asking my best friend out, which went better than I thought, actually.

Matti: It's not like I even had the choice of turning you down. That'd be some crappy experiment.

Ash: Alright. I tried. And it was awkward. And awful. This whole thing is gonna be awkward as s**t though, dude. But good news! I moved in. Now Matti has to put up with me near enough 24/7. [Turns to Matti] [Slow grin]

Matti: Yup. Not like we've never lived together before. Uni days, bro. Uni days and all that it implies.

Ash: [Laughs] Except this time you have a dishwasher.

Matti: What?

Ash: Just I never noticed you had a dishwasher before. It's cool.

Matti: ... [Pauses] ... Thanks for validating my household utilities? [Snorts] So ...er ... who's going first? You?

Ash: Sure. So, quick run over some of the comments we received on YouTube. Like, 90 percent of them are positive, 5 percent of you think this is dumb, and the remaining morons on there are just spammers. I'm gonna go with that 90 percent – I think it's pretty interesting where this will go. And in response to MaryFahey on Wattpad... I think that's how you say it. Hmm, 'what prompted me to make a video with Matti'?

Matti: I think I know the answer to that one.

Ash: You do, do you?

Matti: Er... It's probably because there is lit-er-ally nobody else in his friend circle who would agree to this. I must be...

Ash: [Raises brow] A jerk?

Matti: ... pretty darn devoted to-- Really?

Ash: Dude, there's one for you too. 'Who picked the topic for the Vlog'? That's actually a good one. [Eyes Matti] I'm... I'm pretty sure you did.

Matti: Pretty sure my exact words were "let's do an experiment vlog", and your first suggestion was "How long before Sayed notices we put a stock cube in his shower head", and your second was "It's Pride Month, let's get gay."

Ash: [Sighs] And there you have it, viewers. You missed out on a week of my brother smelling like a vat of Bovril.

Matti: [Laughing]

Ash: And in answer to R-MatixMagic on YouTube, no, this isn't some publicity stunt to get more viewers.

Matti: How dare you.

Ash: [Wagging finger at camera] Yes, how very dare you. Some of you think we're actually gonna end up falling for each other. Now, we haven't even discussed our predictions about this experiment with the other, so I have no idea how Matti feels about the end result.
