Centre Of Attention

~ Your POV ~

You smile brightly at the camera and wave "Hello there my wonderful Sporks! Today's video is gonna be a special one, cuz I've invited a pretty cool guy to come and join me..."
You turn to your left, and your boyfriend Ethan jumps across the couch to land beside you, half of his body on your lap. You both laugh, and obviously you take the opportunity to smack his ass, which he gives you a playful scowl for.
Ethan sits himself up beside you and waves at the camera "Im Ethan, and I promise you that although I look and sound 12, Im legally old enough to drink."
You wink at the camera "Only Capri Suns and Ribena though."
Ethan laughs and shakes his head at you "I fucking hate you."
You giggle and nudge him "Love you too. ANYWAY, today we're gonna be answering your questions, because both of us are stuck for content so we decided to do collab videos on both of our channels which rely on you guys supplying us with content." You smile at the camera, before turning to Ethan "Shit, was that too real?"
Ethan shrugs "Umbridge said we must not tell lies, so I think you're good."
You place a hand on your chest "That reference has shook me to my core."
Then, you begin answering the questions that viewers sent you on twitter.
"What's your opinion on Tythan?" You read the question from your phone and sigh "First I have to share you with Mark, now Tyler too? Fuck sake!"
Ethan laughs "Everyone wants a piece of my sweet ass!"
You smirk "Cant say I blame them!"
The video carries on, a lot of the questions making you both laugh, until you get to the last question.
"Alright, this is the final question." You look back down at your phone "Will you guys ever do a panel together?" You laugh "Ohhhh this is a fun one! I've made a video about this before, but for those of you who dont know, I HATE being the centre of attention, I cannot stand it. I hate knowing people are staring at me and waiting for me to do or say something, I hate the pressure and the anxiety that those situations put me in, and I will do literally anything to avoid those situations at all costs. Im all for getting attention from one person-" Ethan smiles and wraps an arm around your shoulders "-and Im able to do meet and greets and stuff like that, but I cant do panels at all. I get nervous about making videos sometimes because the amount of you that watch me is very daunting!"
Ethan kisses your temple "Sometimes I have to give you little pep talks to get you to record! Once you start recording, you love it, and you're always super happy afterwards, but it's just that initial step."
You nod "Right, that's the thing, it's actually getting me in the mindset of believing I can do certain things. Im a lot better at making videos now, which is hugely thanks to Ethan and of course you guys, but panels are a whoooole other ball game! Let me just say something though, it is both an advantage and a hinderance dating someone who loves being the centre of attention." You look at Ethan and raise an eyebrow at him with a smile on your face.
Ethan laughs "What's that supposed to mean!?!"
You giggle "Well I mean, being stood next to you almost all the time at conventions and stuff because of my anxiety means that when you get attention, I get a lot of it too, and from big groups of people it's absolutely awful, that's the hinderance part. The advantage is that, because you love being the centre of attention so much and you know how much I hate it, you dont mind getting the attention off of me and onto you, and you're very good at that!"
Ethan smiles warmly "You mean like that one time I did a backflip outside of the restaurant?"
You nod frantically "Exactly!" You look back at the camera to tell the story "Basically, we'd just been on a really lovely date in this fancy ass Italian restaurant, and as we walked out this group of about 20 people came running up to us, and they all started asking questions at the same time. Obviously, they were all very nice people and they werent doing it to make me feel uncomfortable, but when they all turned to me, it completely overwhelmed me and I started getting really anxious. Ethan, being the wonderful human that he is, noticed how anxious I was getting and took it upon himself to fix the situation, so he just let go of my hand and did a fucking backflip!" You laugh at the memory and shake your head "No warning, no context, just straight up took a step back and did a backflip in a tux outside of a restaurant!"
Ethan shrugs smugly "I try my best."
You laugh at him pretending to be cocky and continue "The attention was then obviously on him, so I calmed down, and he loved it, he wrapped an arm around me to keep me calm, we had a super chill conversation with those people and then we went home." You turn to him "Why did you do a backflip of all things?"
Ethan squeezes your shoulder "I had to think of something to get the attention off of you, but it had to be something that wouldnt take too long because I wanted to make sure you were ok without making a scene about it and making things worse, a backflip was the first thing that popped into my head."
You lean up and kiss his cheek "An everyday backflipping Casanova you are arent ya!"
Ethan smiles and nods "For you? Hell yeah."
You blush slightly and look back at the camera "Alright guys, that's the end of this video, I hope you enjoyed hanging out with us, we're gonna go record a video for his channel now, and Im gonna beat his ass on Mario Kart 8!"
Ethan frowns dramatically "You'll be eating my dust!"
You raise an eyebrow at him tauntingly "Those are fighting words, Mister Sir."
Ethan stands up, his dramatic frown still on his face "Words for a fight that Im gonna win! I'll be in my recording room, be there or be a Geometry Dash jumping square." He speed walks out of the room.
"CONSIDERING HOW BAD YOU ARE AT GEOMETRY DASH, THAT THREAT WAS EMPTIER THAN YOUR LIST OF VIDEO IDEAS!" You call after him.
From just outside the room, you hear him shout back "SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
You laugh and shake your head, looking back at the camera "Im gonna go show him how real racers win, and then I'll have to deal with him being a sore loser, so that'll be fun!" You sigh dramatically "I'll either see you in the next video, or in Ethan's video on his channel, but either way I look forward to seeing you there! Be sure to like this video if you think Ethan is an adorable muffin, and I will see you guys in the next video! Stay strong my people, it always gets better! Until next time, byeeeeee!" You wave at the camera again to end your video.
Right as you're about to stand up to stop the camera recording anymore, Ethan runs back in the room and plops himself back down on the couch beside you, to kiss you softly.
He pulls away with the biggest grin on his face.
You raise an eyebrow "What was that for?"
Ethan puts his hands on his cheeks and squishes his face "You said Im an adorable muffin!"
