little secret (ryan x reader)

(this is working at game grumps era btw)

matt and ryan began setting up for the podcast in the grumps recording room.

"ryan." matt said blankly. "i know something. a super secret something. about you. something."

"oh yeah buddy what is it?" ryan said in a high pitched, sarcastic tone.

"you like (y/n)." matt said, obviously fighting back a shit-eating grin.

"what? shut the fuck up, you don't know what you're talking about." ryan said in a rush. he was getting a little nervous.

"oh i guess you're right. i have no idea what i'm talking about." matt said, acting as if ryan hadn't proved his point.

"let's just start this fucking podcast already." ryan said, eager to change the subject.

they started the podcast and introduced themselves and the show.

ryan noticed that matt was on his phone, texting someone.

"who ya texting matty boy?" ryan questioned.

"oh just your mother. she wants me to come over next week." matt said nonchalantly.

"fuck off you'll never be my dad, matt."

"oh we'll see about that young man." matt quipped. "alright guys we are going to have a special guest on the podcast today. a special someone that has been in a few lets plays on the channel. it's...." matt drummed on the desk. "(y/n)!!"

she was walking into the room as matt announced her name into the mic. she smiled at them and sat down next to ryan, adjusting her mic and situating herself.

"matt you didn't tell me we were having a guest..." he said nervously, his heart raced. he was glad that the microphones couldn't pick up his heartbeat.

"don't worry he didn't tell me until about 5 minutes ago." she said, holding up her phone. "i was done with editing the grumps video, so i had some free time to hang out with you guys."

"wow if only matt had told me," ryan said through gritted teeth at matt.

"ryan this is a flexible show, you know that." matt said, smiling innocently.

okay. it was true. ryan had an eensy weensy crush on (y/n). a minuscule crush. it was only the way she looked focused on the computer in front of her. and how her hair fell. and how when she smiled you could always see it in her eyes. oh and don't forget about her eyes...okay. maybe it wasn't minuscule.

right there in that podcast room, while he watched her laugh and heard her beautiful voice, ryan knew it was a big fat crush.

they continued to chat with each other for the remainder of the show. the whole time ryan's face was on fire, and matt kept giving him a little side eye.

matt knew what he was doing.

after the podcast, ryan decided that he needed to ask her out.

he approached her while she was in the break room. arin was there too, and they were talking about some ideas for the next game grumps video.

once they were done, arin left and ryan went up to her.

"hey...i had a lot of fun talking with you on the podcast," ryan said feeling his face heat up and his hands get sweaty.

"i did too! i'm really glad i got to hang out with you. even though i don't think you're fans will think i'm that interesting..." she giggled as her face turned red.

"oh don't worry they'll love you. you're like, the best." ryan said before he could think through what he was saying.

she blushed more as she made a cup of coffee.

"so i was wondering...do you wanna hang out some time outside of the podcast? i would really love to just get to talk to you and get to kno-"

"like a date?" she interrupted, hiding a smile.

"..yeah, a date." ryan smiled.

"oh my god of course! if i'm being honest, i've had a crush on you since i started working here." she said, smiling sheepishly at him.

"i've liked you for a while too," ryan said, smiling at her. "so how about friday we go out after work?"

"that would be great! i cant wait!" she grinned.

"i'll see you then," ryan left the room and went to go tell matt that his plan worked. as he left he heard a small "yes!" from the break room.

he knew he wouldn't regret asking her out.
