Digital Paintbrush - (Hat Films/Yogscast Fanfiction)

Chapter 8 - Let's Go To The Beach, Each!

Four months since I've joined the Yogscast as an artist, three months since I found out that Ross was my brother. Some bits have been stressful, most bits have been amazing. To the fans I am now mainly known as the Hat Films artist because I do most, if not all the thumbnails for their videos - we are known as Hatt Films to the fans, the extra T representing my last name - the boys have even arranged for an extra desk to be moved into their office for me! As well as being 'their' artist, I'd also made appearances in some of their livestreams and videos, like their recent Human Fall Flat stream and their vlog on their YouTube channel - I found myself babysitting them more than anything else and I was the youngest. Harry, Lydia and I are half way through playing Pokémon Soul Silver on our Nuzlite series, thanks to me we still had our baby Bottle who was now in his final evolution, the fanart for the series had been equally, if not more, amazing then Harry and Lydia's Fire Red playthrough - it was incredible what people were producing. As for me and Ross, after we talked everything out about how were siblings, we already knew that we go on well before I found out but since I've found out we've been inseparable; we talk all the time during work hours, to the point I end up butting in during streams and recordings, I use to go round his apartment every weekend but that stopped when he saw how trashy my flat was, it was a wreck and I lived next to loud neighbors in a dingy part of Bristol so Ross, with the permission of Alice, invited me to live with them so now I do. In conclusion, life was going great and I didn't think it could get any better a few months ago.

Today, Ross had arranged for us and the other Hat Films boys to go to the beach as the weather was currently sweltering, me and Ross were expected to pick the other two up so we had to leave quite early. I got changed into my swimsuit; it was nothing special just a black, one piece swimming costume that covered up my boobs and part of my shoulders - I didn't like looking sexy (mainly because I couldn't do it) - I also put on a black pair of swim shorts to cover up my marked thighs and a thin hoodie. We got to Chris' house first, he kicked me out of the front seat because he was older and therefore deserved to be in shotgun. On the way to Alex's, I didn't say anything, I just daydreamed as Ross and Chris' conversation played in the background. When we picked up Alex, he sat next to me, making me form butterflies in my stomach. You know how I said I didn't have a crush on? Yeah, well, I've now fully admitted to my self that I've got a giant puppy crush on him - seriously I'm smitten for him, please save me. So when he accidentally put his hand on mine while getting in the car, my face turned into a giant cherry. Alex didn't realise until he'd shifted himself in comfortably so his palm was gently resting on mine for quite a while. When he did realise though, small, sprinkles of pink appeared on his cheeks.
"Sorry," he muttered, taking his hand away, leaving me feeling slightly colder.
"It's fine, don't worry," I replied, blushing more and looking away from him
"What did you do?" Ross suddenly shot, pointing his finger at Alex. At first I was worried Ross was going to flip but when I looked at his face, I could tell he was joking. Him and Alex just laughed it off. It took almost an hour to get to the beach so me and the boys had many interesting, crude, funny conversations while listening to some weird music.
Once we got there, me and Chris raced to the water, I flung of my hoodie so it wouldn't get wet and legged it as fast as I could. I won to the annoyance of a certain walrus.
"Fuck you, Marnie!" He exclaimed. Giggling, I shaped my fingers into an L shape and stuck my tongue out at him. Chris pushed me under the water playfully after this. I came out of the water, gasping for air and sliding my hair out of my face.
"You, Christopher are so dead!" I laughed, then pounced on him making him get swallowed up by the salty sea. We were playing like that for a minute or two when I saw Ross setting up the towels and umbrella with a disapproving look
"You two are meant to be adults," he chuckled, placing a towel on the sand
"Stop being a party pooper, Rossperu!" Chris demanded and splashed Ross. He just rolled his eyes and shook his head with a smirk. Alex walked over with an inflatable peacock he'd just blown up, looking quite pleased with himself
"Look!" He beamed, his eyes shining through his glasses. I grinned back at him and motioned for him to give it to me, which he did. Struggling, I managed to clamber onto the bird float. I definitely wasn't very elegant about getting on it but actually being on it was even worse. My body was sprawled across it, desperately trying to keep my balance on the damn thing as my leg was flailing about behind me while my grip was firm around its slippery neck. The boys were laughing at my struggles so I shot them a massive glare. Once I'd achieved my ultimate goal of stabilizing myself on the floaty, I smiled to myself. That's when Alex decided it was an amazing idea to cannonball right next to me, meaning that all difficulties were in vein as I flung of the peacock and went straight underwater. Gasping for breath as I came up, I heard Alex and Chris chuckling away to themselves
"Sucks to be you, Marnie!" Chris giggled, pointing his grubby finger at me. I gave him the finger straight away.
"Sorry, Marnie, but next time don't get in my diving area," Alex joked. He got the same treatment as Trott.
"Play nice kids!" Ross yelled and I saw him lying down on a towel with a smile.

It was now sunset, me and the lads were still at the beach just less lively and more pruney skin. I hadn't gone into the water for quite sometime so now I was just contently watching as the Hats played around in the sea, with the sun peacefully setting behind them. It was nice. Feeling sleepy, I lay down on the towel that was resting on the warm sand. Suddenly, I heard footsteps walking towards me. I propped my head up and saw Alex making his way over to me. His hair was wet, drooping into his eyes as his strong arms shone in the bright sun and his pearl eyes glistened. It was like one of those movie scenes were the sexy ass guy is seductively walking over. The butterflies returned to my stomach again so I'm annoyance I swung my head back on the floor.
"Today's been good," He said, placing himself next to me
"Yeah, it has," I agreed, keeping my eyes locked on the sky above me not wanting to show the red that had appeared on my face. We stayed in the same position for a while, comfortably sitting next to me as Ross and Chris' fun was audible from where we were, until we heard Ross shout
"Hey, we should start heading back now, it's getting pretty late,"
"Alright, mate," Alex replied. I moaned not wanting this day to end. It had been so fun.
"I'll pack up then," I heard Alex mutter to himself. He leaned over me to grab the towel next to me but he managed to trip over somehow so his face was now awkwardly planted onto my breasts. I was so shocked, I had no idea what expression my face was pulling all I could tell was that it turned warm. I was so tense I thought I was going to stretch into oblivion. I think both me and Alex were processing this embarrassing situation as neither of us moved for a few seconds. When there was finally movement, it kind of made it more cringeworthy as I'd never been in this type of situation before.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to!" Alex stammered, finally pushing himself up from my chest. He looked like a honeycrisp apple.
"It's fine, don't sweat it!" I talked, trying to calm myself down and hide my face. Quickly, me and Alex were in a back and fourth of panicked stuttering, failing to make the other feel more comfortable. When Ross and Chris came over, they wondered why we were both such a mess. We told them there was no reason but obviously neither of them believed us. Chris joked that Alex snogged me and therefore earned a punch in the arm from the much taller man. The ride home, thought it was a lot less uneasy, was still very nerve engulfed. I know it wasn't actually that bad but still, the Alex Smith had just face planted into my boobs. How could it not be awkward?

I finally finished this! I don't understand how the filler chapter took longer than the important chapters! Either way, the chapter is here now and I'm sorry it took so long. Please comment or DM so I can bounce ideas off of you, it would be really helpful and really appreciated. (I'd love it if you got the title reference XD)
