I sat in my comfortable chair nervously as my Skype dinged. The small blue symbol jumped up and down as more dings came through my headphones, telling me that The Pack was in a call together. I shifted back and forth as I moved my mouse to hover over the white 'S'. I clicked on it and quickly clicked again on the green join call button so that I wouldn't lose my nerves. I turn my facecam on after I make sure that my face looks normal, just so they wouldn't get suspicious. We have an unspoken rule that you turn your facecam on immediately, I guess it's because we all care about each other so much.
"Yo, Little Lachy!" Preston calls out grinning at his camera as he sees my face join the others. The rest of The Pack calls out their greetings as they slowly load in on my screen. Aussie ping is the worst for facecam Skyping, as they always turn really pixelated and sometimes freeze up.
"So, what's everyone's plans for recording on this lovely day?" Rob asks as his facecam stops the the derpiest face. I chuckle slightly as it unfreezes, and everyone responds with their schedule. I know I should have been paying more attention when I hear Mitch scream my name. My ears ring and Jerome shouts back at Mitch for breaking his eardrums. I grin widely as they argue back and forth.
"Lachy are you okay?" Oh no. I've been trying to avoid looking at him so I don't get lost in thought. That worked well. I glance at his face to see him looking really concerned. I almost instantly get lost in his dark brown eyes.
"Lachlan?" Rob asks again, the call has gone completely silent and I snap out of my thoughts.
"Yeah, sorry what?" I ask coughing slightly to try and get rid of the awkward air that seems to be hanging around me.
"Are you okay dude?" Rob asks as they all look concernedly at where I'm assuming my face was on their screens. "You seemed to space out for a while there."
"Oh sorry my crap internet just froze," I quickly spat out the first excuse that popped into my head. 'Oh shit they aren't going to believe that' I thought as they all looked confused.
"Sure," Vik said slowly, like he was trying to get the thought to sound right in his head. I could tell that none of them believed me at all.
"As I asked earlier what's your recording schedule for today Lachlan?" asked Rob. I guess they decided to drop it.
"I've already got a Crazy Craft recorded and mostly edited, but it would be nice to also upload an H2M today," I say, clicking off Skype and on to OBS to see the progress I've made on the Crazy Craft episode.
"Do you want to record a Lucky Block video with us later?" Mitch asked as I started back up on editing. I thought about it for a second. It had been a while since I had upload a Lucky Block and it was one of the most requested videos for us to make.
"Who would be doing it and what would we be doing with the Lucky Blocks?" I asked. 'Please don't say Vik' I thought. I really hope that it would just be Mitch and maybe another person.
"It would be you, me, and Ikky Vikky," Mitch answered. I tried not to cringe as I heard that Vik would also be on. I needed to give the viewers another Lucky Block video though. "We would be doing Platinum Lucky Block staircase." I sigh and nod my head.
"Can we keep it as a rainy day video though?" I ask. I had used my old recording that I kept if I wasn't feeling like uploading a couple days ago and I needed to make a new one.
"Of course," Vik answered, I noticed him smiling on the current call tab that was open on my screen. I smiled back at him. I went back to editing as Jerome and Mitch started talking about the pains of parkour. I finished off the editing quickly as I half listened to the conversation.
"I gotta go record the H2M episode for today, I'll rejoin after though," I say as I start up Minecraft. They all say bye back and I leave the call. The moment I leave the call, I let out a giant sigh. Finally, that was harder than I thought it would be. I let out a small smile though as I remember that no one really noticed what was going on. The Pack could be really unobservant, so clueless sometimes. I set up the recording software and make sure that it is actually recording properly and that my microphone was working before I start up the episode. I don't want a repeat of the Crazy Craft episode 4 days ago where I kept messing up with the recording.
~~Time Skip to Recording End~~
I shut down the recording software and opened Skype back up. I glanced at the call to see that Vik, Preston, and Rob were the only people still in the call. I quickly rejoin and turn facecam on.
"Hey again Lachy," Vik said, grinning at the camera. I couldn't help but smile at his adorableness. Poofless started chatting again about collabing on their second channels, as they were starting to get neglected. I blocked them out as I opened OBS and started the process of editing the H2M to upload. I also started the process of uploading the Crazy Craft to YouTube. Of course that made the Skype call almost completely die. After listening to static and choppy voices for the first half hour of editing I gave a quick explanation and left the call again to finish editing and uploading.
The editing process only took another half hour after I left the Skype call as I was more focused. After I started the render to YouTube, I got up from my chair and walked slowly through my house to the kitchen. I hadn't realized it at the time, but I had skipped both lunch and breakfast. It was hard to find time to eat and sleep when you have YouTube as your job. Not that I would take it any other way. I quickly shoved together a burrito and nuked it in the microwave. Taking my newly made food and a glass of water up to my recording studio I put my headphones back on and finished up the uploading process of the H2M.
After I made sure the thumbnails and everything was all good with the episodes, I rejoined the Skype call to see only Vik and Rob still hanging out. I greeted them and turned my facecam back on again. I noticed Simon hanging out behind Vik. I just ignored him as he was pry going to make a video with Vik soon. Rob left the call almost immediately after I joined, mumbling something about blaze spawners and cosmic. I guess now it's just me and Vik.
"I gotta make an H2M for tomorrow but you can stick around if you mute your mic," Vik said to me, glancing behind him at Simon. Simon must have gotten that Vik was going to use facecam on his video and he quickly left the room. I nod to Vik and sit back to listen to Vik's soothing voice. I drift off as Vik starts his intro to the series and fall asleep as he draws Nooch from Pete's machine.
I wake up to giggling and my phone going off. I yawn and stretch upwards. I slowly unwind as I rub my eyes trying to get them to open without being blinded by the bright light in my room. I jolt upwards as I realize I'm still in a call with Vik. I blush slightly as I see him staring at me with a warm look on his face. I notice a shadow that looks human shaped in the room but I ignore it.
"Did you sleep well?" Vik asks me, smiling softly.
"Sorry for falling asleep on you like that. I have a messed up sleep schedule," I say after I unmute my mic.
"Don't apologize, you're cute when you're sleeping," Vik says, shrugging then blushing. I blush too, and turn my head away. 'He thinks I'm cute,' I think smiling. Maybe it's time to admit it. This is going to be hard. I turn my facecam off. Vik must realize this is serious because when I turn it off his smile disappears and he looks confused. I take a deep breath and turn my facecam back on so he can see my slightly scared expression. I close my eyes and glance over to my second monitor. I open the first window to see chords. I grab my guitar from my left and glance quickly back at Vik.
"I'm sorry if this ruins our relationship but I need to get this off my back," I say, my mind swirling with outcomes and all the different ways this could go wrong. I sweep my hand across the strings on the small wooden guitar and close my eyes completely. The final thing I do is change headsets so it is connected to my second monitor and pull up a page. The Skype call is completely silent as I start out strumming and music floods through my ears. As the song progresses, I open my mouth and start to sing softly.
"I know you
I walked with you once upon a dream
I know you
The gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam
I know its true
That visions are seldom all they seem
But if I know you
I know what you'll do
You'll love me at once they way you did once
Upon a dream
Once upon a time
I was dreaming we'd be together
In love forever
Once upon a night
I was wishing for a never
A never ending
Once upon a time
Once upon a night
Once upon a wish
Once upon a dream
I know you
I danced with you once upon a night
There we were
Wishing this dance would last forever all time
I hope its true
This vision is more than what it seems
Cause if dreams come true
I know what we'll do
We'll dance once again
They way we did then
Upon a dream
Yeah, yeah
yeah, yeeeaaaah
Once upon a night
I was wishing for a never
A never ending
Once upon a time
Once upon a night
Once upon a wish
Once upon a LOVE...
Once upon a dream...
Once upon a dream...
Once upon a dream...
Once upon a dream!"
"I guess what I'm trying to say is I love you Vikkstar123," I finish the song terrified of his reaction. I glance behind him only to realize he didn't have headphones on. Weird, I brush it off though and glance at Vik's face finally. He has tears running down his face as he holds a hand to his mouth. I cringe as I see that. 'I guess he doesn't love me back,' I think despair clouding my mind. Vik seems to snap out of it when he sees me cringe.
"I love you so, so much. If I was there with you now I would kiss you. You kangaroo," he says, catching me off guard. I smile widely and laugh.
"VIKKLAN!" I hear Simon scream as a door slams open and footsteps leave Vik's room.
"SO MUCH FLUFFY VIKKLAN! ALL THE SHIP!" I hear him scream as his voice fades. Vik laughs a smile taking over his face. I smile with him. It might take me a year, or longer until I can see him and kiss him for the first time. That won't stop me from loving him with all my heart. My shining star. I will wait for us to collide. Vikklan, the ship that sails through starts and across any ocean, no matter the size.
"I love you," I whisper, savoring the three words I have been wanting to say for years. This feels right.
"I love you too, my sunshine."
