there for me (shourtney)

The last part of our San Francisco trip was spent wandering around the city, and planning our wedding celebration at our house back in Santa Monica. 

On the ride home, Courtney finalized our list of what we needed and people who were coming.

"You work fast." I noted, laughing. She looked over at me, sunglasses hiding her bright eyes. 

"I'm just that good." She shrugged. 

"True." I smiled. 

"Hey," She started. "If you planned this whole week off from work, did you also know about the Show With No Name revival we're doing?" 

"That was legitimately Ian and Sarah's idea." I said. "But I have a feeling they crafted it on purpose." They probably figured it out.

"Heard." She nodded as ran a hand through her reddish hair. "I think it'll be cool to get everyone involved."

"I think so, too." I took a breath. "Are you okay with .. putting it out on the internet that we're .. " Why can't I finish that?

"Married? I am. I'm okay with it. Hiding, you know, us for so long has gotten to me." She laughed weakly. "Time they know."

I nodded, hands on the wheel, eyes trained on the highway. It's time.

Monday came and it felt as if the week off was merely a blur. Feels too fast.

"Jeez, right back into the swing of thing." Courtney said, adjusting the duffle bag on her shoulder as we hiked the stairs to the main office. 

"Time flies." I shook my head as I held the door open for her. 

"What if we -"

"CONGRATS!" A group of our Smosh family caught Courtney and I at the door.

Instinctively, I laid a quick hand on her back, edging her closer to me. 

"Oh my god!" Courtney squealed. Hands covering her mouth as she giggled. 

"I had to." Olivia said as she stepped out of the crowd, holding her arms out to hug Courtney. You planned this?

"Hey, hey, we wanted to." Ian clarified. Smiling as he laid a hand on my bicep.

"Thank you, guys. Thank you." Courtney laughed. She moved into the group to start hugging people. 

"Thanks, man." I said as I clapped Ian on the shoulder, then turning to do the same to Kevin, Brennan, Damien, and Noah. 

We mingled for a little bit. Sarah, Tayler, and Nancy fawned over Courtney's ring, while Olivia proudly told them about Courtney's beautiful dresses. Keith and Tommy were especially curious about the Porsche we had rented, and Ian asked me about the foods we ate. Citing that he was a seafood aficionado. 

"As much as I'd love to stay here and ask you everything about the ceremony, we do have a show to start filming." Sarah said with a laugh, glancing between Courtney and I.

"Don't forget about the party at our house on Friday!" Courtney announced with a grin, looking at me from across the crowd. I winked at her. 

"There we go!" Monica smiled as she elbowed Courtney. "But for real - filming." She tapped her water bottle on the clipboard. 

After some final 'congratulations', Courtney, Noah, and I were ushered into the challenge room, set up to somewhat resemble the old layout from when we did Show With No Name before. 

"Why am I with the power couple?" Noah whined as he sat on the right side of the couch, Courtney between us. "I'm clearly not worthy."

Keith laughed behind the camera.

"'Not worthy'." Courtney echoed with a mocking laugh. "Aww, you're fine." She hugged his arm closest to her. 

"Why the hell was I chosen for this episode?" Noah asked Sarah as she walked into the studio. 

"Noah, you're the sex appeal." I laughed. "Go on, show off those tiny titties." I pointed at his button down shirt that hooked in the middle of his pecs.

"Exactly!" Sarah grinned from behind camera. "Now, stop complaining," She wagged a finger at him as she did one last check around the set. "Alright, rolling in three." 

"Noah, you got the intro?" Courtney asked him, bent over, tying her shoes. He nodded. 

"What's up guys? Welcome to this one week special of Show With No Name. Throughout this whole mini-series, you'll get to see all of us, and ask questions to pretty much everyone at Smosh. So, let's get started?" Noah looked over at Courtney and I. "Oh, by the way," He faced the camera again. "I've been unfairly thrown into this room. Against my will. I'm clearly not on their level." He laughed as he looked at us. 

"C'mon, dude. They obviously brought you in here to make us feel better." I joked, waving a finger between Courtney and I. 

She laughed, hands over her face as she sunk her elbows into her knees. "Oh my god."

"This is what I mean." He sighed and looked back at the camera, eyes pleading. 

"Anyway!" Courtney interjected, holding up the iPad. "We already have a few questions that came through. When did we announce this? Literally a day ago? You guys are fast." She chuckled at the iPad. 

"Well, actually," Sarah said form behind the camera. A distinct stare at Courtney. We're doing this now?

"Oh, shit, now? Okay, well." Courtney stumbled over her words. Glancing at Noah, then leaning into my side. She stuck her tongue out at me, pushing my face away with a flat palm. 

I laughed. "You're the absolute best." 

"I know." She giggled. "So, I guess it's time you all know," She looked at the camera, cringing slightly at her cliche delivery. "Shayne and I are, um, we're together." She ran a hand over her neck, a nervous fidget. Glancing at her ring she laughed, "We got married."

"Aaaand you just set the internet on fire." I said, pointing a finger at the camera. 

"No!" She laughed and smoothed her hands over her cheeks, looking back to the lens. "We've been together for a while. We just haven't put anything out about it. You know, privacy is important to all of us."

I nodded. 

"Tell them about last week." Noah encouraged with soft smile. 

"Oh, yeah." I started. "Last week we had off from shooting and filming, so some of us ventured up to San Fran. And Court and I just decided to .. to do it." 

"It?" Keith teased from behind the camera.

Courtney let out a surprised laugh. "Keith!" She smiled, rubbing a nervous pattern on her left hand before holding it up for the camera to see, "We did this. It just felt right."

"It did." I agreed. "It was time. So we jumped on it." 

I caught her emerald eyes and smiled. I'm so glad we did.
