There are times where you think, 'Wow, I'm really saving the world by learning to educate the future of the world." But then you get an assignment from your professor telling you to make a twelve-minute video teaching pretend-kids about chemistry, you had no clue what to do.

You read the instructions over about a thousand times already, even out loud, trying to figure out what to do. You've texted your classmates, even emailed your professor, but none of their answers were helpful in any way, shape, or form. So you decided to call in the big guns. You quickly grab your phone and dial the "big guns".

"Hi Y/n!" Travis's cheery voice answered after two rings. You were relieved already by hearing his voice.

"Hey, Trav. Could you come over to my place? I'm in a little bit of a predicament...." you tell him, your hand rubbing the back of your neck bashfully. You felt like such a goof for asking Travis to help you, but you had no other choice.

"Right now? For what?"

"Um..." you think for a little bit. You couldn't help but realize you just called Travis because he was the first person you thought of. Trying to hide your feelings slightly and not sound like the biggest idiot ever, you think of the first thing to come to mind. "Video. I need you to help record a video of me for a class." You hear Travis hum a bit on the other side of the call, before agreeing to your offer.

"I can do a video." You can imagine him smiling as he said those words, you clinging on to every syllable. "I'll be there ASAP Y/n! Give me thirty minutes!" And just as soon as he picked up, he hung up. You took a deep breath, slowly putting the phone face down on the table right next to you. God, you are an absolute mess.

~~~

And within less than thirty minutes, Travis arrived as he said he would. You couldn't help but feel your heart beat slightly faster than normal and became more aware with every movement you did. He got you like that all the time, but as time went on it became harder and harder to suppress it.

"Ooh, what's this?" Travis put his camera down on a nearby counter in your small kitchen and peered over at the table where you had all your supplies for this project laid out. You put your hands on your hips and pursed your lips a bit.

"For this next assignment, I have to make a good example of a science project that kids can go off of and make a video of me presenting it." Travis nodded slowly before his face lit up with an idea.

"Can we make that science slime? Like when you squeezed it, it was hard?" He asked, a grin spreading on his face as he made hand motions trying to get his point across. You couldn't help but laugh at his suggestion and his way of showing it to you. It was mad cute.

"Oobleck, Trav?" You grin back, spotting a container of cornstarch that you had sitting there with other products. "That was actually one of the ideas I had and I wasn't sure if I should really do it until now. It's simple, but I can sound really smart if I do this one." You hum, making a small motion to Travis to pass you the bowl that was by his arm.

"You always sound smart Y/n. You're like, the smartest person I know." You couldn't help your face get tinted pink. It was such a small compliment, but it sent your heart flying. You thought you were old enough to not act like a fifteen-year-old when you got a crush, but boy you were wrong.

"Thank you Travis," you say to him as he passed you the bowl. Then, you both started going on with your assignment.

You both had to look some stuff up online- like how much cornstarch to water, and how to keep it in its form, and why the hell every fifth grader just has some obscure memory about this abomination. Once the research was all done, then it was time for the recording of the video. There were small breaks where you both got some snacks or used the restroom, but mainly everything was very back-to-back, making you both ease up and not think about the small amount of romantic tension in the room. Every little thing Travis did made your chest get all warm. Each time he smiled, laughed at a joke, made a funny face behind the camera, and made a weird noise whenever he made a small mistake made you go absolutely bonkers.

On his end, he was just as nervous. Sweaty palms and much more giggly than usual. He always saw you as smart. Really smart. And totally out of his league. Travis was constantly seen as the 'less intelligent' one by his fans and the viewers of his friends, and he could never get up to your speed. Hence, why he hasn't asked you out by now. But he always told himself that if he didn't act soon, he would never know how you felt about him.

At the end of the session, when you were both wrapping things up, you noticed how quiet and focused he got. Mainly quiet. You started to feel bad, thinking that he was getting bored and wanted to go home.

"Hey, how about we stop here? We can continue another day and edit the video some other time," You offered, and checked the time. "It's getting pretty late, the sun is already down. Plus you're looking really tired, Trav." You were about to grab your phone, as you hear Travis start to speak.

"Actually, uh, Y/n..." Travis starts off, feeling his throat go dry. His brain was going on lockdown, feeling much more nervous than he did before. How was this so hard? They were best friends after all. You paused and gave him a confused look, wondering why he was so shaky.

"Yeah, Travis? You feeling okay?"

He gulped. It was now or never. "I was wondering if you would want to have dinner. You know, with me. Like now? We could go get chicken nuggets at McDonald's or something... For the... two of us." Travis shoved his hands in his pockets, trying to hide his sweaty palms. Your eyes go wide and your mouth makes an 'O' shape as you realize what he was trying to say. He looks up at your face, hoping that what he said didn't ruin everything.

"Like a date, Travis?" You ask, as he presses his lips together and nods. Your gaze softens, and you walk over to him making Travis look away quickly. You stand in front of him, making him look directly into your eyes.

"Yeah. I'd love to go on a McDonald's date with you Travis." Those words made a large smile grow on his face, feeling his face get all warm.

"Well then let's go now and get those warm nuggets, Y/n!"
