Hello! Mmm, I don't know what exactly you have to say when you started writing these things, but maybe a traditional "Hello" or probably "welcome" fits, so I'll go with it.
Sorry for that, guys, maybe you already noticed that I am new at this.
Welcome and thank you for giving to this accidental creation a try! When I started writing this, I was at school, trying to figure out how to make a script for my History class, but this happened instead. WhatcanIsay?
Now, I'd like to mention that I am not into The 1OO or FTWD yet (I might start them soon, though). But it's hard to be on social media and miss tweets and posts about these girls. THEY ARE LITERALLY EVERYWHERE! And as many people, I joined the claim of justice for Lexa and many others LGBT characters or any other character from a minority that got "forgotten" by people who think that representation is not important.
Okay, sorry, I'll stop ranting.
This writing (I don't know if it will be a oneshot or fic yet) is inspired by one of my favorite things... BuzzFeed. I love their videos, and there is one that is called "Single AF: Married for a week" (I'd leave the link of the video at the end of the chapter). I loved the idea and it turned out to be pretty interesting, in my opinion.
The characters from this story are part of the BuzzFeed Video staff. They are amazing and I hope I portrayed them well.
As usual...
A/N: I don't own The 1OO or any of its characters. This is my mess entirely.
Hope you like it guys!
It was a new week in BuzzFeed, the employees were walking through the big doors, some of them looked incredibly happy for Monday, other were trying to get over another week. That wasn't the case of Lexa and Clarke, the two of them being part of the younger staff in the multiple media agency and also best friends, they just look forward to work together and... let's be honest, get over another week, it's freaking Monday for God's sake.
The girls loved their job, though. The place, the people, how they let them develop their ideas even if they are crazy. Who do you think suggested the "People Try Drinking Their Own Pee For The First Time" video?
Their ideas were fantastic (most of the time), their coworkers and YouTube viewers seem to loved them. They work great as a team and that didn't go unnoticed.
"Guys, we need to talk about what we are going to do this week. Ideas? What do we have ready?" -The director said.
"Mmm, Ashly just texted me. She said that they are editing a new BF' Violet video already. So I guess we have something for today" Zach mentioned getting cheers by his colleagues.
"Great! We need something for BuzzFeedvideo, though. Do we have something?"
"The channel was updated a few minutes ago" Kelsey said while not paying much attention to the meeting. The girl was pretty much in love with her phone.
"Yeah, but I think we are making many videos of facts lately. I love them, but we need to add something fun,something relatable to the people. What about something related with couples?"
"We do that every week, that's not new" Lexa in a serious tone said.
"She is right, we always make those" Clarke said getting many nods and some disapproving looks by her peers.
"People seem to love them, though. As much I hate to admit it" Kelsey said uninterested while drinking her smoothie.
Everyone was deep in thought trying to come up with an idea to work with. Sudden, some yelp by Keith was heard, he couldn't keep his excitement anymore. He came out with something!
"OH MY GOD, I HAVE AN IDEA. Some of us will hate it, but I am pretty sure you are going to love it anyway!"
Clarke loved Keith like a brother; she is the one who encourages him in many of his crazy and incredibly funny ideas.
"Shoot, dude!" Clarke said laughing at his excitement.
"Okay, so you know how many ships I have around the office" Keith says He got many confused looks.
"He meant couples, people that look good together. People who would be a great pairing. The Yin to their Yang and that shi-" Lexa added rolling eyes while doing it
"I THINK THEY GOT IT, LEXA" Clarke said cutting her friend before she said something she might regret later.
"Glad that you get it. Thanks girl" Keith said fist bumping Lexa.
"Go on" Zach interrupted the moment.
"So, I've been thinking, what if we get one of those couples and get them together...in sort of way to live together and stuff for a while, a week max. And we shoot them, showing how they try to live together and sharing as an actual couple"
"That- That doesn't sound like a bad idea, actually" Kelsey said while everyone agree with her
"That sounds cool, but who is going to help us with it?" Lexa said.
Keith was about to talk but Clarke interrupted him.
"He already mentioned that he wanted his "ships" to help with this video. I am afraid to ask, but who do you have in mind?"
"Well..."
Everyone was at the edge of their seats waiting for him to talk. Alison was tapping her fingers eagerly on the table, Zach was biting his nails, Justin was shouting "Come on, say it", Gaby look unamused as Lexa and Clarke was looking forward for the answer; she knew Keith, this was going to take a moment.
"I got a list! I'm going to set it so y'all can see it on the board".
He did as he said and everyone read the infamous list, some of them laughed or were looking terrified or relieved because they weren't there.
LIST OF MY OTP's or People that should totally make out soon or their sexual tension will kill me ;) (For a grown man, Keith loved emojis like a teenage girl)
-Quinta/ Justin
-Zach/ Ashly
-Gaby/ Alison
-Brittany/ Kelsey
-Clarke/ Lexa
The last "OTP" looks at each other don't knowing what to say.
The agreements and disagreements started.
"Dude, we broke up a few months ago"
"I... don't really like her...?"
"We already live together"
"I texted Ashly, she laughed at me and sent me a snapchat flipping me the bird. Anyway, she is not on board"
Everyone was looking to the last Keith's OTP with questioning but amusing looks.
Eventually, Lexa spoke up first.
"Keith, I love your idea, it's funny and creative, but I don't know if we are the perfect people for it".
"Why not?" Clarke added fast getting sly smiles by Keith and Kelsey.
"Well, let's think about-" Lexa didn't know how to answer Clarke's question. "Well! I don't know if you would be comfortable with my habits, some of them are bad"
"Don't you lock the door while you... you know go downtown by yourself?" Kelsey calmly asked.
Gaby laughed and wiggles her eyebrows, while everyone were trying to contain their laughs at Lexa's blushing face.
"Uh- I- I'm not talking about that! Geez"
"Lexa, we've been roommates before, that excuse is not logical. I know you better than I know myself. By the way, she always locks the door, guys" Clarke's added high fiving Kelsey on the way.
Everyone laughed. The mastermind behind the idea spoke first, deciding to break the weird moment for the brunette girl.
"It's going to be great. I could be your cameraman, if you want me to be" He offered.
Lexa and Clarke look at each other and it felt like a lifetime, it was like they were speaking a secret language.
"Guys! Ugh, I won't be with you the whole time. If you want private time to do stuf-"
"DON'T FINISH THAT SENTENCE"
"WHAT THE HELL, KEITH!"
Clarke and Lexa shouted at the same time.
"Keith, please" -The director spoke again after seeing exchange of words. "Girls, it's all up to you. The idea is good and I know people will love it, but we can't obligate you to do it and we won't. So, are you two okay with it?"
"I think..." Lexa began. Everyone look at her with expectancy.
"Come on, Lexa! It could be awesome. You can stay at my place and people already love us together, don't you remember those 'Clexa' comments in the last video we uploaded?" The blonde girl asked.
They got confused looks.
"We like to watch the videos that we make together, so we know what people think about them and what we can do next".
"We read the comments and apparently our fandom is huge".
A chorus of "Ahhh" started.
Lexa seemed deep in thought, until she said a barely audible.
"Okay"
"Okay?" Clarke asked.
"Okay" The girls laughed at what they just did. They are big fans of John Green.
"Look at you being all coupley already" The girls glared at Keith, but they couldn't keep their faces straight with him. He is a dork, but a big adorable one.
"Great! So it's settled we have to start working on it. Keith, you will be the cameraman, we need to talk to the editors, sound-".
"I agree with one condition" Lexa said after a moment.
"What is it?" Gaby asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Well, I agree to make the video, only if Clarke and I get to edit it"
"Ugh, but you will cut the good stuff!" Kelsey said, surprising everyone since she was the least romantic person in all BF. "Uh, I mean, we have to see everything to know how it was. It sounds like an interesting experiment and I am single af too, maybe I can learn something from it, ya' know?"
Clarke laughed at the older girl.
"We will try our best. I am with Lexa on this and we could make a good work trying to not make us look bad"
"That's impossible, but it's on! Clexa is on!"
Everyone stood up from their sits, but Alison's question stopped them in their tracks.
"The video. How is it going to be called? We can't finish this meeting until we have all the details of it and the name is important!" The brunette says, getting pats on her back by Gaby.
"Didn't I tell you that when I started talking?" Keith asked. "Okay... so, the video... we will be called... Drum rolls, please!" Zach and Justin started smacking the table, while the staff was laughing at them.
"SPEAK NOW"
"Chill, the video will be called: 'Single AF: MARRIED FOR A WEEK'"
"Yo, that's my segment!" Zach says. The boy with glasses owns that tittle, but there are many people who can fit the category at BF.
"Don't cry, Zach. You will be able to make more videos of it for the next 10 years, so chill". Gaby added sarcastically.
After Alison wrote the name of their last project in her notepad, everyone stood to leave and start working. They didn't notice how big Lexa and Clark-, sorry, Clexa's eyes opened when Keith said the title of the video. But they are in already, they accepted to be in it, and it's not going to be bad, right? RIGHT?!
"SINGLE AF: Married for a week" is a go.
Author's Note:
So... yeah, that's it for today. I don't know if I should keep going with this, but I'd appreciate any comments about it, good or bad, they are welcome and I'd try to take them as advices. This is the first time that I do this, so I pretty much don't know what I am doing, but I am willing to give it a try. I apologize for any mistake that I've made here, English is not my first language.
I'd like to wish to treecklove (her stories are great, go check them out, if you want to! She is Brittana af) a great HAPPY BIRTHDAY. You are an amazing person. Thank you for listening to me when I was thinking about making this word mess a few months ago. And finally, I made it.
Thank YOU and hope you have a lot of cake! Thank you so much for reading! Hope you all can have a great weekend and week ahead.
