Chapter 1 - Beginning

(A/N: I don't know a whole bunch about Chris or Chandler so I hope I didn't write them too awkwardly. Or Jimmy for that matter.Also, please let me know if I make mistakes!)

Y/N hears the stupid iPhone alarm go off and he's tempted to just chuck the device at the wall and let it be shattered to a million pieces. Being an essentially broke bastard who's unable to afford a new phone, he turns the alarm off.

The time is 2 PM, a perfectly normal time to wake up. Totally. Grumbling a profanity, Y/N forces himself out of bed, unable to fall back into a slumber and completely forget about his plans today. The H/C male grabs his phone from it's charger and begins to scroll through his little contacts until he finds the name he's looking for. Chris. Clicking on the dial button and putting the device on speaker, he stands up to find an outfit for the day. Chris answers on the fifth ring. Y/N counted.

"Hey, N/N!" Chris's voice is projected throughout the bedroom.

"Hi," Y/N is looking through his wardrobe, his eyes landing on a pretty purple sweater. "Is it hot out?"

"So-so, if you're moving, there is a breeze I think,"

Y/N didn't think much was going to happen, Jimmy literally just told him to 'Come if you want, you're not on filming duty' and without anything else to do Y/N decided to come. Grabbing the lavender sweater and a pair of blue jeans, he changed out of his shorts and t-shirt. He put on his Minecraft socks his little brother gave him for his birthday and put a beanie on his head. Chris was talking on and on about some topic Y/N wasn't in the mood to listen to. Y/N could just about make out Chandler's voice in the background.

"Hey, Chris?"

"and this- this duck walks up to - Yeah?"

"What are we even doing today?" Y/N picked up the phone and made his way into the kitchen. Which was very easy since he resided in a studio apartment. He would have a more luxurious living space but the only money he got the money his parents saved up to pay for his college. Sadly, he never planned to go to college.

"Uh, some challenge, last to leave circle wins. Generic stuff," Chris said, and Chandler's voice said something Y/N couldn't quite pick up. Knowing he was probably just going to sit on his phone the whole time, Y/N grabs a pair of earbuds from his desk.

"N/N!" Chris must've handed the phone to Chandler, "When are you going to be here? We're gonna start soon I think,"

"Um," Y/N looks at his watch, debating whether he should walk or take the bus, "not long, probably 15 minutes. I live close by,"

"Okay! Here's Chris," A shuffling noise was heard and Chris began speaking.

"See you soon, Y/N," Chris said.

"See you," Y/N replied and hung up the phone. He decided to walk, since the bus has to stop a few times on the way there, he figured it would be faster.

Y/N's assumption was correct. It actually only took him 10 minutes to get there, which was something new for him. He prefers to call it fashionably late. Anyways, when he arrived on the scene there was a lot going on. A group of tall guys and a few girls were crowded under a fiesta. Y/N understood why, it was pretty hot standing in the sun, but at least the breeze kept him cool temporarily.

Chandler and Chris were standing off to the side, Chandler was getting ready to participate in the challenge, and Chris was sitting on his phone. Y/N made his way over to the two men.

"Sup," Y/N greeted while taking a seat on the cooler next to Chris's chair. Chandler looked over at Y/N and smiled.

"Hi Y/N," Chris said, he was a little distracted from some tiktok he was watching.

This was around when Y/N zones out. He could tell the video recording began, but was too focused staring at nothing to care. It wasn't until he could hear someone calling his name that he snapped out of it.

"-ey Y/N?" A sweet voice called him. He looked up.

"Oh shi- Sorry Karl, I zoned out." He stood up from the cooler, and he recognized the person in front of him. Karl Jacobs.

"Oh, it's okay," Karl says as he grabs a cold water bottle out of the container. Y/N takes the chair Chris was sitting in, since Chris wandered off to go hype up some of the contestants for the video. Karl flops down in Chandler's former chair.

An almost awkward silence filled the air and Y/N knew why. He and Karl have never talked before. Y/N was actually pretty surprised the brunette knew his name. Y/N was a background character. Not significant. Unnoticeable. He stretched his legs out in front of them and crossed them, leaning back and crossing his arms over his chest. He looked down at his sneakers and could see a peak of his Minecraft socks. The socks had little designs of a creeper scattered about. He could see Karl perk up in the corner of his eye.

"Hey, you like Minecraft?" Karl gestured to the socks, a smile in his voice. He seemed excited to have the chance to bond with Y/N over the popular video game.
"Huh- Oh uh yeah! I, um, actually have a YouTube channel where I-uhm- play Minecraft," Y/N cringed at the stuttering, "Really small channel but- still a channel,"

Karl was unphased by the awkwardness of the boy next to him. He pulled out his phone and handed it to Y/N.

"Here! I'll subscribe to you, we should totally collab sometime," Karl smiled as Y/N took the device and began typing, "I can stream it and you can record- or maybe we could both stream? Oh wait- what's your discord too? So I can contact you."

Y/N was almost overwhelmed but he subscribed to his own channel using Karl's phone. He glanced at the subscriber count. 7,344. Same as last night. He quickly opened twitter and typed in his handle before following that too.

"S-Sure! I followed my Twitter too since I'm hella active on there. my username for everything is Y/U," He was a little more comfortable with the energetic brunette next to him. He handed the phone back, "And my discord is Y/U#1234,"

Karl grinned. "Well, we should definitely play together."

"Yeah!" Y/N smiled. Karl got up to probably go help record.

"I'll message you when I get home- Talk to you soon!" Karl walked backwards and gave Y/N a thumbs up before turning around and running off. Awkward way to end a awkward conversation. Y/N was a little flabbergasted at the interaction, but nevertheless happy.

The recording process ended and everyone was already leaving. The sun was setting too, so Y/N decided he should probably skedaddle. Waving goodbye to Chris, Chandler and Jimmy,- He couldn't spot Karl but would assume they'd end up talking later- he made his way back to his shitty studio apartment.

Walking inside and locking the door behind him, the familiar, plain walls greeted him. He longed to have his own play button hung up right next to his computer. Or maybe his own posters. He flopped down onto his twin sized bed and opened his phone. A few notifications greeted him but two of them stood out the most.

KarlJacobs followed you.  1h ago

KarlJacobs#5678 added you as a friend. 23min ago

Y/N quickly opened the discord notification and accepted the friend request. He saw a message was already waiting for him.

Karl: When do u wanna play? :)

Y/N: Hi, is tomorrow good? I am v exhausted rn

Karl: Yea, Talk to u soon. goodnight!

A short conversation but it made Y/N smile. Starting his nightly routine, he thought about what's going to happen tomorrow.
