Ian kept worrying about Melanie, he has to tell her he loves Anthony, but how? She's been hurt before and Mason could never hurt her.
A knock at the door interrupted Ians thoughts. he walked over and opened the door.
"Hi!" Smile Anthony.
"Anthony! The plane landed safely I assu-"
Anthony hugged Ian and held him so tight that Ian lost his breath and couldn't finish his sentence.
"I've missed you so much," Anthony breathed into Ians neck.
"I've missed you too Anthony. Let's go inside. I don't want you to catch a cold" Ian broke the hug and led Anthony inside.
"So, what should we do for our second channel video?" asked Anthony.
"Well... I don't know, I thought you'd have an idea" Ian chuckled nervously as he sat down on the table opposite Anthony.
"Oh, okay. Let me see," Anthony pulled his phone out and scrolled through the ideas in his notes, "how about a best friend quiz?"
"Sure, there's probably one on Google somewhere" said Ian.
Anthony clicked on the first result because he couldn't be bothered to look through a bunch of results as Ian turned on the camera.
"Hey guys, today we're gonna be doing a best friend quiz, just to see whose a complete dick!" he turned the camera on Anthony, "or whose the best best friend," he turned the camera on himself.
"But we could only find a wedding quiz," Anthony laughed as he realised the result he clicked on was for married couples.
Ian gave Anthony a 'wtf' face. but went along with it anyway.
"So here we go, who's the better 'husband'" Ian laughed.

"Final question!" Ian shouted down the lens of the camera.
"Where in the world does your best friend want to travel to?" Anthony read off his phone.
"Umm... Hawaii?" guessed Ian.
Anthony stopped to think, "I'm not sure where I want to go but I know it's not Hawaii. And you want to go to, Japan!"
"Your are correct sir" Ian smiled.
"So that's been the video, as you can see I'm the better best friend" smirked Anthony.
"No, the points say I'm the better best friend!" Ian stuck his middle finger up at Anthony.
"Byyeeee" they said down the lens then Ian turned it off, ready to be edited and uploaded later.
"That was fun" said Anthony getting up.
"Yeah..." replied Ian.
"What's wrong?"
"Oh, it's just I really do want to go to Japan, Tokyo to be specific"
"Well one day, we'll go together" declared Anthony.
"Really? you'd want to go with me?"
"Only with you, no one else... it wouldn't be the same without you if I'm being honest"
"Awesome! Tokyo better watch out!"
The two laughed together until the camera crew came round to Ians house to record their main channel video.
