A/N: Hey, everyone! I've watched a series of Smosh fanfiction videos on YouTube... and they almost made me cry. So I decided to write more Ianthony fanfictions here! Here's my return to Ianthony, and I hope you like it!
Title: Ten
Pairings: Ianthony vs. Kalanthony vs. Kalel/OC
Summary: Smosh has been going on for ten years, and Anthony and Kalel have been married for a year. Kalel announces to Ian and Anthony that she is pregnant and wants Anthony to quit Smosh for the baby. But when Anthony finds a strange letter on his doorstep, will he leave Ian behind? Or will he stay with Ian?
Rating: T for language. (Anthony: "What language?", Ian: "I don't know. Swahili?", Anthony: "That's a weird language.") (Kudos to anyone who can tell me what Gametime with Smosh video that quote is from. :D)
(Anthony's POV)
"What?! A baby?! There... there was no baby before! What the hell?" I turn to Ian, whose face is flushed and pale. He looks sick. "Ian, are you okay?" I ask him. He doesn't respond immediately, still staring at Kalel as if she told him that she was a terrorist. "You... you don't mean..." he says, his bottom lip quivering as he speaks. "Yes, I mean..." she replies.
"I'm pregnant with Anthony's baby."
We haven't slept together since a couple months before! Maybe she's hiding it all from me. But did she really have to tell me in front of Ian? "Screw that, I can cope with the fact that you're pregnant, Kalel... but... the other thing you said..." Ian says, shaking his head. "Did you mean it?" Kalel looks to me and, with a sincere look on her face, nods.
"I want Anthony to get a real job so we can actually raise the kid normally."
I look to Ian. He's put his head on the table, like a kid who was punished for talking too loud in a classroom. I put a hand on his shoulder to try and comfort him. He pushes my hand away from him and looks up to me, with anger and anguish in his eyes. "Don't fucking touch me! Don't you DARE fucking touch me!" he screams. I want to bawl my eyes out and tell Kalel that I wouldn't give up YouTube for the world.
Funny story is, though... Kalel still wants us to use our channel WatchUsLiveAndStuff.
"Kalel, do you really think that's a good idea? I mean, I'm getting good money, and we still have each other..." She nods and says, "I'm absolutely positively sure." I don't doubt her, but... I just don't understand why she's telling us all of this NOW. Couldn't she have waited until we got back to our house, so I could at least tell Ian myself and it wouldn't be so hard to bear?
"Ian, I'm sor-" "DON'T TALK TO ME! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING FROM YOU!" he yells, raising his head once more from the table. Kalel used to think that Smosh was a great thing for me. She used to LOVE watching me and supporting what I love doing. Now, she gets all moody whenever I tell her that I have to go film with Ian.
But... there was no baby before. There was no possible way though... I mean... We were planning on having a kid together, yes, but we never planned to have one NOW. We figured that a baby could wait until we were a little older. But... there Kalel is, showing a slight bump on her stomach, telling me that she's pregnant. with my first ever baby...
Kalel sighs and says, "I'll give you two a while to talk. I expect you to have made up your mind by the time you come to the car to go home." I nod at her, and she exits Ian's house. As soon as the door shuts, I turn to Ian, who has finally risen his head up for good. "Ian, I'm so sorry. I never knew anything about a baby." "I know," he says, calmly.
"This is so hard for me to do. I don't want to lose my best friend and my job, but I don't want to lose Kalel and my kid! Why is this so goddamn difficult?!" I yell, frustrated. Ian says, "You can quit Smosh. I mean, honestly, you're going to be a FATHER, and Kalel is going to be a great mother. You're lucky." I'm slightly shocked by Ian's response. I was thinking that he would beg me to leave Kalel.
"Are you SURE, Ian? If you don't want me to go, you don't have to force me out." "No," he replies quickly. "It's fine. Really. If I were the one put in that position, I would pick Melanie, simply because I love her and I would want the baby to know who I am. So it's fine, Anthony. We'll still be best friends, and you'll get another job."
"But I love doing THIS job! What are you going to tell the fans? We have 15 MILLION people who care about us! What are you going to tell Sohinki and Joven and Lasercorn and Mari? Are you going to fire THEM? After 10 years, you're willing to call Smosh off? Do you even CARE about Smosh?" "OF COURSE I CARE ABOUT SMOSH!" "YOU DON'T ACT LIKE IT!"
Ian steps back. "What are you trying to say, Anthony?" I groan, trying to calm down again. I'm taking deep breaths to try and calm myself; it was a tip given to me by Kalel. "I'm trying to say that I don't want to give up Smosh, okay? I don't want to lose everything that I've put so much effort and work into! Honestly, Smosh doesn't even feel like a JOB. I love working with you for Smosh so much that I can't lose it."
"But then how are you going to raise the baby and make Kalel happy?" I sigh and say, "I guess we're going to have to do it secretly."
SUPER SECRET SMOSH STUFF NEXT CHAPTER!
On the subject at hand, I'm a fan of Kalel and I think that Kalel and Anthony are the cutest couple together. But on the other hand, I still believe that Ian and Anthony are soulmates, and that they deserve to be recognized as the original bromance. What I don't like about Kalanthony is that Kalel seems to flaunt and show off that she's dating Anthony. She does seem to really love him, but I feel that if she didn't make it seem like she won a trophy, she would get at least 1/4 of the hate she does now. I don't hate her. In fact, I love Kalel's guts. She honestly seems like a great person and I would love nothing more than to see her have a happily ever after. I just don't think that Anthony is the best person for her. Perhaps it could be a different YouTuber, or a random person that she'll run into later in life, but I honestly don't believe that they're the best couple. I love both of them, and they are the cutest couple ever in my eyes, but I honestly think that they'll run into problems later on in their relationship. So, with that said, I would like to avoid as much hate as possible and try to make the Kalanthony fans happy as well as the Ianthony fans. But if you are a hardcore shipper of Kalanthony, then I believe that this isn't the story for you. That's all I have to say on that matter.
Anyway, thanks for reading! :D
