thirty three.

❀Courtney's POV❀

As soon as I came home I took loads of ginger shots in hopes of feeling better. I don't know why but I've been on a health kick ever since I got sick, but it's been working. Freya was in the shower as I sat at the table with my laptop about to start editing, but instead my phone rang. Checking the contact it was a random number, I rarely answer those either. I let it cut to voicemail and got distracted scrolling through Twitter. Then a couple of notifications popped up and it was from Twitch. Tobi, Simon and Josh were streaming Golf With Friends. I resubbed to Tobi and Josh, they both announced and thanked me for the resub. Finally going onto Simon's stream I donated £40 and my message was: for the gas moneyy😜. I resubbed as well as he was looking too cute when he smiled at my message. He read my message out loud and looked down and back up at the camera. For the final transaction I donated £9; for extra protection, legit there is no more condoms👅👅. When I sent that he read out, "£9 from Courtneyyx and 'for extr-'. Well I can't read that. Thank you Court," he was actually blushing a bit. {pic above} he smiled through his hand trying to cover his grin. And there I was smiling behind the screen.

After I showered I hopped in my bed and scrolled through my phone. I checked my SocialBlade that gave me a live subscriber count and I was less than 5000 away from hitting 6 million subs. Opening my laptop that was beside me, I placed it on my lap and logged on.

❀Simon's POV❀

I finished streaming, and my body ached from sitting in that chair for hours. But still I slumped in my chair, only just to stare at the game lobby. I checked my phone and decided to call Courtney, it was around 11:45ish.
Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring.
"Hello?" She said softly.
"Hi babe, how you feeling?" I asked getting up making my way down to the kitchen for something.
"You know I'm feeling okay, I think it was the shower that made me feel a lot better. Buttttt, I'm close to hitting 6 mill!?" She giggled, "I don't know what to do though because I've been doing giveaways, videos everyday for a month, meetups. I just don't know-"
"nothing."
"What?"
"Just do nothing, not every time you hit a milestone you have to give. Yes, you would like to say thanks, but you've been doing that for the past. Court, how about just saying thank you. You should be thanked for everything you do for your fans, posting every single day. But when you don't, you apologize and post two videos the next day. Court, you really don't owe your fans anything. You should be able to put out content when you want-" beep beep beep. She hung up on me? Then I saw FaceTime call from her. Phew. I answered and she was smiling looking at the screen.
"I love you Simon." She said seriously, "and you're right. 100%. But how are you, I only called like this so I could see your face. Okay okay, right how are you?"
"To be completely honest, I've been so stressed out. I feel like I'm putting out so much, recording so much. I rarely get sleep- yeah a bummer. But it's like if I don't post a video on my main channel or if I don't post two videos on my second... I get questioned. It's actually a bit mad. Sorry, I'm ranting-"
"Venting."
"Right, but you know what I mean?"
"Babe, why don't you take your own advice? You literally just told me that I don't owe fans anything, and to post what I want when I want. Okay? So, give yourself a break, you deserve it." Looking at my phone screen seeing her smiling," oh my gosh Simon... I just hit 6 fucking million!!!" She got up and I heard her screaming in her flat followed by hearing Freya screaming with her. As they were still shouting and laughing I quickly opened Twitter.

@miniminter: 6 mill💚

Going back to FaceTime, Courtney finally settled in and there was a huge grin on her face.
"Hi."
"Congrats love, fully, fucking fully deserved." She thanked me and I just smiled.
"Why are you so cheesed?"
"I don't know, maybe the woman of my dreams is on the phone with me. Not a big deal," she giggled at my corny remark. "We need a holiday-"
"At least you're going to Abu Dhabi with Chris at the end of this month {we're in the month of February}."
"Chris isn't you."
"Our schedule is so hectic. Oh boy! Okay I'm going to LA in early April and your going on you lads holiday late April. Then, you and the other sidemen are talking about dates for the match. Fucking hell, Wireless then probably other stuff might pop up. "
"You can't forget about Sidemen Clothing meetings coming up as well. We agreed for you to partner with Frey with the financial aspects of the company and the graphic design as well."
"Simon this stresses me out, I'm getting a headache thinking about all of this," she slouched placing her head on her fist.
"We'll get some sleep babes, I'll be there around 10."
"Why can't you come over?! Spoon. " she said sporadically.
"You would be able to stay up NyQuil?"
"Hey!! I'm feeling better, stuffiness is at a minimal! Just come over bring the stuff you need too."
