HI GUYS I'M HUGS6 AND I'M SHAMELESSLY DOING A DEMIGODS WITH YOUTUBE STORY BECAUSE I REALLY MISS THE RUSH OF POPULARITY I HAD WITH THE LEO VALDEZ SHOW... But anyway this is Myles and Kurt and they will absolutely use their youtube influence responsibly and not endanger the demigod world?! lol
"No."
"I get to talk before you say no."
"Do you?"
"Yes."
"No."
"Myles you're not being fair."
"Oh shut it. You're never fair." Myles scowled.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm always fair. I have zero schemes right now I promise. This is not a scheme."
"I don't believe you."
"This is not a scheme."
"When does Cabin 11 ever do something that isn't a scheme."
"All the time. Right now, in fact. Not a scheme." Kurt flashed a smile.
"Fine, what is it?" He knew he would say fine. He would say yes too. Myles had an hour from the initial no, which would probably take five minutes to come, and then if he didn't say yes in the hour, Kurt owed him a soda. If he did say yes in the hour, he owed Kurt a soda. Myles always lost but always played, because, well, son of Nike. He would probably never turn down a challenge, no matter how stupid the challenge was. He hated that about himself, but he never tried to change it. Once Kurt had thought about daring Myles to stop taking challenges, but he really didn't want to see his best friend cry.
"We should start a youtube channel." Myles began to laugh.
"No." Kurt smiled and tapped his watch. One hour began.
Then he walked away.
Myles didn't know what Kurt's strategy was here but he hated it. Kurt made him nervous when he set up strategies and schemes. Myles wanted to win already, desperately wanted to win. He tried to think about things intelligently, but he couldn't.
Where was Kurt? He'd wasted a half hour already. They were just there for the weekend, so he decided to work on homework in the shade while Kurt did stupid stuff. It never made sense. Of course, the scheme didn't make sense anyway. Youtube? That was ridiculous. Myles was far too people shy to be a youtuber.
"I will never say yes." He muttered to his pre-cal homework. It didn't reply, thankfully. He chewed on the end of his pencil.
Fifty minutes had passed. Kurt's ego was losing the bet for him, he was too showy. That's why he wanted a youtube channel, probably.
"Hey, look Myles. I get why you said no. I really do get why you said now. You have attention and you're super shy. That's fine... I probably would have been the better YouTuber anyway. I'd end up carrying the entire channel." So that was his game. Challenging him to a game. Playing to his weakness as a child of Nike. Saying, you wouldn't be good enough because he knew that Myles would make himself good enough.
Kurt liked that about his friend. How he would rise to meet any challenge just because it was a challenge.
Of course, it was also dangerous. Which is why Kurt used the power as peacefully as possible, and made people hurt when they tried to use Myles' weakness against him.
"Okay."
"Great. I've already set up our channel. It's called M'Kay. I'm the K. You're the M. I'm so happy that you're doing this with me."
"I'm not doing this with you. I'm doing this to be better than you."
"Oh of course you will." He smirked, shrugging.
"You don't believe me." He accused.
"Oh I believe. I can't wait to see that."
"So, um. What are we going to do on our channel?"
"I was thinking we could do product reviews if we felt like it, rants, gameplay, vlogs, challenges. Etc." He smiled widely at Myles. They went to the same school and only lived four blocks away from each other. This shouldn't be hard. Except...
Myles looked panicked.
"I'm not doing vlogs my life is too important too private too boring!" He protested.
"You're a demigod. Your life is fascinating!"
"No way. That's it. I'm saying no and you better respect that so help me Kurt Abercrombie-"
"Please don't use my last name it's embarrassing and destroys my street cred."
"You don't have street cred, dork..."
"Whatever you say, nerd. I'll drop vlogging for now. But we should definitely make an intro video." Myles groaned.
"Noooo I have homework."
"Come on homework is easy. Youtubing is fun."
"I hate you." Myles muttered, looking fondly at his homework.
"I know!" Then Kurt met Myles' gaze, with some effort since he was mainly avoiding it, and made a solemn promise.
"Look, I guarantee you that you have full right to back out whenever you want and I won't even make fun of you a little because it's your life and whatever. Sound good?"
"No, it doesn't sound good. This is going to crash and burn but we're going to see it to the end. Or I'll kill you."
"Sounds fun then. Let's crash and burn."
"Oh, and if you ever try to pull that, you won't be as good as me junk again, I'm going to rip your arm off and beat you with it."
"See? Your life is interesting. You could totally be a vlogger."
"Drop it."
"Whatever. Intro video. Oh by the way I forgot to mention that I talked to Chiron and we're not allowed to film anywhere other than the beach. So we'll have to do that outside of camp." Myles was legitimately impressed at his scheming abilities. He had really thought this through. And maybe it wouldn't crash and burn...?
"Makes sense." If they couldn't film at camp he was going to spend most of his time at camp.
"Come on. Let's just do this, okay?"
"Fine. Whatever." Myles was terrified, but he went with it.
"And you owe me a soda." Oh yeah. He cringed.
"I'm going to lose." Myles thought.
"Yeah, he's so going to beat me once he gets into it." Kurt admitted to himself.
