We brushed past what I'd said quite quickly. So quickly in fact, that nothing else was said about it at all. Or at least, not directly. Chandler had made a few comments over the duration of the meal, such as "Why don't you ever call me cute, Jimmy?", to which Jimmy had either thrown a chip at him, or sarcastically told him that he was hilarious

We left the restaurant rather soon after we'd arrived, even though it was busy, our food was ready in an instant, and we'd all wolfed it down and we're ready to go back to work. "I might come and join you for the last few hours." Jake told me, "I've got nothing else to do." I nodded, "Awesome, the more the merrier." I told him, about to join him in the backseat of the car, before I was softly pushed out of the way by Chandler. I gave him a very confused look, to which he just replied, "You called shotgun." I became even more confused, "No I didn-" He stopped me, "Y/N, you called shotgun" and he gave me a very suspicious wink. I widened my eyes and nodded my head, giving him the general look of 'I know what you mean', but truth be told, I really didn't. I found it easier to just go along with whatever Chandler did, he seemed to know what he was doing, whether I understood it or not, really didn't matter. 

Jimmy walked over to the car after having paid the bill, and joined me in the front seat. "Thanks for that, Jimmy." I told him, "It's a good thing I don't have a car, otherwise I'd be driving there every day." I chuckled. "I'll take you anytime you want, I'm always looking for an excuse to go there." He said, and I didn't blame him, I'm so used to burgers being filled with grease, or being dry as hell, it was nice to have been introduced to a place like that. "So what are you doing for the rest of the day?" I asked him, "Finishing up the video with Chris. It shouldn't take too long so I might come and join you." He smiled. "You and Jake? I didn't realize I was so popular." I joked, "And me!" I heard in the back, I looked at Chandler who was giving me a toothy grin. "I guess you've got all of us then." Jimmy said, laughter laced in his words. 

We got back to the building at about half one. Jimmy informed me that everyone had an hour for lunch, and most people would have theirs at the same time, which explained the sea of people all entering the building. Chris was waiting by the entrance of the building, with a McDonald's milkshake in his hand. That explained why he didn't join us for lunch. He gave us all a smile as we walked towards him. "Hey Y/N, how's your first real day going?" He asked, "Amazing!" I told him, "Bailey's shown me how to do everything and I think I'm getting the hang of it all. Everyone's been so nice, Jake even bought me chocolates." I told him. He laughed and nodded, "Yeah, that's Jake's way of letting people know that just because he's tall, doesn't mean he's scary." He joked. Jake made a noise of what I could only assume was agreement from behind me. "I'm a big teddy bear really." He said, laughing. 

We all walked back to the editing room, Jimmy and Chris saying their goodbyes to us, "I'll come and see you in about an hour, we've just got to do some finalizing for the video." Jimmy said. "What is the video anyway?" I asked them. Chris explained that it was for Jimmy's other channel, 'BeastHacks', in which they mostly just reacted to videos. I nodded my head, "I didn't even know you had another channel." I said, rather embarrassed. "You didn't even know I existed a week ago, don't worry about it." Jimmy said, giving me a cheeky smile. I felt my cheeks heat up a little bit. I said goodbye to them both, and entered the editing room, tailed by Jake and Chandler. 

Bailey greeted me, a mouth full of a sandwich, and gave the boys behind me a smile. We sorted out some chairs for them to sit with us, and they watched eagerly as I continued the work that I began this morning. Bailey finished off his lunch as he supervised me, and seemed to have put a little distance between myself and him compared to earlier. Jake was joking around with him, and Chandler was listening to the video with me, laughing at some of the comments that he'd made. "I'm going to edit you out completely." I told him, and he blurted out a very loud laugh. "Jimmy would get no views if you did that." He smiled, "I think you should edit out everyone, but me." He said, chewing on his gushers. I giggled at his comment, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Bailey smiling at me.

I carried on editing the video, and I had almost come to an end, before Jimmy entered the room. "Hey guys." he said, making his way over to us. "Hey Y/N." He said, pulling up a chair and sitting in between Chandler and I. "How are you getting on?" He asked, leaning forward to look at the screen with interest. "Well, I think, I've almost finished." I told him, cutting out the final bit of footage, and pulling the last file to join the rest of the video. "Want to see?" I asked him. He nodded. "Can I watch as well?" Bailey asked from the other side of me. He pulled his chair very close to mine, and I leaned back so as to get out of their way. I pressed play on the video and watch Jimmy intently, to see his reaction. I saw him sliding his chair even closer to me, and I felt like I was in a boy sandwich. I wouldn't have minded, if it wasn't for Bailey moving even closer. I turned my head and I watched as Chandler gave Bailey a slight glare, of which he didn't see. I pulled my chair back a little bit, and waited for the boys to finish watching the video. 

"Great job, Y/N!" Jimmy said, smiling widely at me. "You've done really well!" Bailey said from the other side of me, putting his arm around my shoulders in a semi-hug. He squeezed me tightly, and I couldn't help but feel slightly awkward. I avoided eye contact with him as I pulled away. "Thank you so much, I wanted to try and match the styles of the other videos." I told them. "We definitely need to celebrate." Bailey said, a smug smile on his face. "Yeah, we definitely do." Jimmy said, putting a little emphasis on the word 'we'. At this point, Chandler butted in, "So what do we do now?" he definitely looked a little bored, I thought back to what Jimmy had said about him not liking being stuck in one place, and I smiled at him. "I don't know." Jimmy said, "If we're all done for the day we can go home if you want?" He asked, and Chandler nodded his head erratically. "I'll just save this and then we can put the video up tomorrow." Bailey said, saving the file on my laptop, and closing it down. We all stood up, said goodbye to the other couple of people in the room, and made our way towards the door. Bailey walking as close to me as he could, the height difference becoming rather apparent. Jimmy trailed behind a little bit, alongside Jake. "I'm just going to run to the ladies room." I said. Jimmy nodded, and the boys all stood in the hallway waiting for me as I walked towards the bathroom round the corner. 

I quickly did my business and washed my hands, and just as I left the room, I bumped into Chandler, who was seemingly waiting for me. "Hey!" I said in surprise, he laughed, realizing that he'd scared me. "Hey Y/N", he slightly whispered, "I was just wondering if there was something going on between you and Bailey?" He asked, I shook my head, his question suddenly making me feel as though I had travelled through time, back to high school, "Nah, he seems like a nice guy, but nope, not my type." I told him. He nodded, a huge grin appearing on his face, "Good." And he ran off just as quickly as he appeared. I stood for a second, trying to ascertain what had just happened, but my mind came up blank, so I just settled for trailing after him.
