schlatt turns red as he reads the paper note he pulled from the hat.

"so what seems to be the problem?" charlie asks.

oh god, "well doctor," here goes nothing, "i am in love with y/i/n!"

charlie's eyes goes wide, along with his smile. everyone mirrors him as well, fully knowing why he seemed nervous as the words left his mouth.

it may not seem like it but the business man himself took a huge liking in the other member of the lunch club. everyone knew of the situation, except for y/n. like everyone else in every other story, y/n was oblivious of the situation. y/n was unaware of the love that radiated off of schlatt for them; everyone didn't know how, but they were. even their audience could tell the man was interested in them, due to all the long, loving stares he gave them during group videos and previous streams.

even though everyone already knew about it and thought they would be perfect for each other, and schlatt secretly agreeing, he couldn't bear to ruin their already amazing friendship if they didn't feel the same way. i guess you could say that's one of the biggest things he's afraid of related to that situation, other than y/n getting hate if they actually ended up together.

charlie clears his throat, trying to cover up the fact that he was just wearing the biggest grin after that sentence, which ultimately ripped the other male away from his thoughts.

"i'm not qualified for this." charlie mutters, trying to keep his excitement down and continuing the bit for the video.

"they tweet, i need to respond. they do anything, i'm watching." schlatt states.

"okay." charlie says, sounded uninterested and somewhat annoyed.

"if y/n was here," schlatt starts messing with the claw toy he was holding, alarming charlie.

"uh, well uh what would you do with that?" he questions, referring to the toy.

"if this worked?"

"uh huh? t-to what?" charlie stammers.

at that moment, y/n walks into the room, making schlatt's head snap to their direction. some would say that that was probably the strangest moment to walk in on. some would even agree. as all eyes focused on y/n, they felt incredibly confused as to why they were staring at them.

before they could even say anything, schlatt starts to get up, walking towards the poor thing, the claw in hand, ready to get a hold of them in his arms.

"uhh, hi schlatt?" y/n mutters, sounding more like a question due to their confusion, as he gets close. before he could even do anything else, charlie pounces after him like a lion and its prey, making sure he wouldn't get to them. he drags him down to the floor, shouting a couple of "EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE OKAY!" and "YOU DON'T NEED THEM!" while schlatt could be heard claiming that "y/n was babie".

the whole scene was hilarious to y/n, though they still wondered why they got dragged into this. carson couldn't hold it together when charlie tried to feed the cotton balls to schlatt, making y/n break as well.

after the recording session, everyone was cleaning up, taking things in and out of the room. when y/n walked back into the room to check if there was anything left, they saw schlatt looking at his pink camera, smiling. they decided to talk to him since they haven't talked since the beginning of the video.

"hey schlatt!" y/n beamed, making schlatt look up and immediately make his heart think it was running a marathon. "great job on the last bit, i was just waiting for you to bring up duolingo the whole time."

"hey thanks, and you know i had to, we were talking about spanish and i saw the opportunity, so i took it!" he chuckles, making y/n's heart skip a beat.

now, one thing that no one really knew about, except for amanda and madi, was that y/n admired jschlatt himself. they really adored him and there was never a day where they didn't think about him. of course, they could never say anything, due to having the same fears that schlatt was experiencing.

if you think about it, it was like high school all over again for the adults since the guys were mostly the ones who knew that it was confirmed by jschlatt himself that he, indeed has a crush on y/i/n and vise versa.

"so what did that note even say? you know, the one you did with charlie earlier."

'uh oh' the man thought to himself. 'it's fine, you can tell them it was only a bit, right? i mean, either way, they'll probably see it when it comes out.. and when people are constantly talking about it! '

"oh that! yeah it read that i was in love with you." the man states.

y/n could feel their face heat up, making them cover it, falling into a pit of laughter.

"really? that's really funny, you did good with that bit!"

"you think so?"

"i know so." they state, looking into his eyes, making him blush.

"heh, yeah i should probably go show carson the picture i took of him." he says, pointing at the door. "yeah no, absolutely!"

jschlatt starts to walk off, but before he goes past the door frame, he turns back around, suddenly gaining a boost of confidence. "oh and by the way?"

y/n turns around, "yeah?"

"i meant it." he says, nodding his head towards the piece of paper that they were holding. y/n looks down at their hands, realizing he was referring to the note "i am in love with y/i/n". they look up immediately, slowly starting to smile, along with a ton of blush creeping up their cheeks.

schlatt winks and walks off in satisfaction, feeling good about what he did; which also made him consider finally asking the other out.
