 "Are you sure?" I ask to Marcus whose face is on my laptop screen.

"You know, it could be fun," he says, "we've never done it before. A plus too for our followers who can't come..."

Marcus and Martinus are having their concert tomorrow in the late morning. They were nervous - well maybe not for Martinus - but they were excited nonetheless. I can see it in their faces. They've decided to live-stream their concert, so that I can see. So the whole world can see.

After that, I have my own show, which should be awesome.

"Sharing is caring!" Martinus comes into the view, peeling a banana. Typical.

"You got it, mate," I say.

"Anything exciting happening?" he asks.

"No," I say honestly, "probably just having Athena drama, but that's just about it."

"Probably because we're not there," Marcus points out. I almost choke, it is almost true.

"Know-it-all," I say, smirking.

"But you didn't deny or admit it!" He implies. I feel my face gain a little colour and I turn my face away.

"Yes," I say, "there, I admitted it!"

Martinus smirks, "but you only admitted it because Marcus pointed it out."

"Touché," I grin. I move the laptop to throw it on the bed.

"So what did you do today?" I ask them, "wow that's a nice hotel room..."

"I know," Martinus bites into the banana in his hand, "we got it from the best."

"Also known as me," I add under my breath and the two boys laugh.

"Back to your question, Sera," Marcus says, "all we did was pretty much rehearsals."

"And getting tired," Martinus grins a boyish smile. God damn that smile. I find my insides melt at the sight of it. The smile replays in my head over and over again and I find myself daydreaming. My heart starts to pound really fast, it almost got me thinking that it was going to rip out of my chest. Then I realise that I must have a really stupid look in my face so I snap out of my trance, coughing to cover it up.

"Are you alright?" Martinus asks, worry in his voice. People seem to be asking if I'm alright all the time these days, of course I'm alright.

"Perfect," I tell him.

"You sure..?" Marcus asks.

"Why do you ask?" Now it's my turn to question them.

"You seem a little..." Martinus pauses to think of the right word to say, "off."

"No, no I'm perfectly fine," I say flicking my wrist.

"What did you do today?" Marcus asks.

"Nothing much," I answer, "I just had lunch with Athena and now I'm here."

"Cool," Martinus says but then he grits his teeth, "look, we'd love to talk more, but we've got to go."

"That's alright," I say, assuring him, "go ahead and do what you need to do."

"Thanks," Marcus says gratefully, "don't forget to watch us tomorrow!"

I grin, "wouldn't miss it for the world."

We say our farewells and I shut the video call off before slumping back on my bed. I didn't realise how much I smiled before frowning and damn, my cheeks hurt from it. When I rub my cheeks, I find that my whole face is burning.
