Chapter one:
Things are going as normally as possible in Rooster teeth.
Michael is editing when Gavin walks in. He glances to the other as he sits down at his own desk. He removes his headphones putting them around his neck. "Hey Gav what's up?" He asks.
Gavin turns to the other smiling. "I'm great Micool! Dan moved here so now we can be closer together."
"Oh?" Michael blinks his face falling slightly.
"Yeah. He's gonna take me out to dinner later." Gavin chirps.
"I see." Michael says then flashes Gavin a quick smile. "Well I hope you have fun."
"Thanks Micool!" Gavin hugs the other then turns to begin work.
Michael turns back to his own work putting his head phones back on. He tries his best to concentrate on the editing that he is doing. He pauses in his work and his eyes flicker over to the other for a few moments before turning back to his work.
That's when Lindsay bursts into the room.
"Surprise bitches!" She says as everyone turns to her.
"What's up Linds?" Ray greets.
"Well I was sent to steal Michael from you guys." She informs them.
"Let me save this then." Michael turns saving his progress then puts his headphones down onto his desk for now. He gets up then he follows Lindsay out of the door and they head off somewhere else in the building.
"Say how are you doing?" Lindsay asks as they walk.
"I'm fine." Michael responds with a slight sigh.
"I don't believe you." Lindsay says crossing her arms.
"Gavins got a date. Today." Michael admits.
"Oh." Lindsay's arms fall down to her sides. "I see."
Michael shrugs as if trying to shrug it off.
Lindsay looks to him slightly worried but they reach their destination so she remains silent.
"Ah. There you are Michael." Gus comes over to them. "I'm glad you weren't playing a let's play or anything."
"It's really alright. I was just editing." Michael waves it off with a slight smile. "So what can I do for you?"
"Well we were hoping you'd join the podcast cast right away here. Today we are short one man thanks to Burnie being busy." Gus explains.
"Sure." Michael agrees.
"Great!" Gus smiles.
The podcast went smoothly and when it was done Michael went back to the Achievement hunter office.
"So what happened?" Ray asks glancing to the other.
"Burnie was busy so they needed someone for the podcast." Michael explains settling at his desk and picking up his headphones from his desk.
"Ah I see." Geoff nods then gets back to what he is working on.
Michael does the same after putting his headphones on.
Later...
Gavins phone vibrates and he checks it. "Ah. Dans here." He springs to his feet grabbing his stuff as the others turn to him. "See you tomorrow."
"See you."
"Bye."
"Have fun."
"Thanks!" Gavin heads off to go meet Dan.
Michael looks away to his computer screen but barely gets any work done until it's time for him to leave. He heads to his place making sure he focuses on the road then his focus shifts to parking. He turns off his car and heads on inside his place. He sets his bag down by the closet just by the front door. He heads deeper into his place before flopping onto his bed then he curls up once he is on his bed. He finally lets out a heavy sigh letting his eyes fall to half open. "Dan had better treat you well..." He lets his eyes flutter closed softly wondering if he'll be able to sleep. He didn't really get any sleep that night.
The next day...
Michael is heading into work when Gavin dashes up over to him.
"Hey Micool!"
Michael stops and turns to Gavin who stops beside him. "Hey Gav." He greets.
"You'll never guess how the date went!" Gavins eyes shine.
Michael holds back a flinch. "Good?"
Gavin squawks at this. "You know?"
"It is kind of obvious Gav." Michael shrugs and they begin walking.
Gavin begins talking to Michael telling him everything that happened on the date but Michael tunes him out.
By the time that they get to the Achievement hunter office Gavin has just finished telling the tale.
"That sounds like a good night." Michael says at least something as Gavin finishes the tale.
"It was!" Gavin chirps.
The two settle at their desks and Michael focuses on starting work while the others talk to Gavin about his date.
Ray and Michael do share a look but Michael just shrugs it off in which they turn away, Michael to his screen and Ray back to Gavin.
Eventually the others also get to work letting the chatter in the room die down.
After a little of silence Gavin turns to Michael.
"We should hang out tonight." Gavin says.
Michael glances to the other. "Sure." He agrees. "My place?"
"Sure." Gavin nods then they turn back to what they are doing.
The two had a slightly busy day with a lets play, editing and doing some voice acting that was mostly for the X-Ray and Vav series.
When it is the end of the day they feel some relief.
They went straight to Michael's place after work and the car ride had some silence to allow them to wind down as work has ended.
"I'm glad we will now be able to relax." Gavin says with a stretch with his arms straight out at an upward angle as they walk further into the house.
"Why don't you settle on the couch and I'll get snacks?" Michael suggests heading to the kitchen while Gavin heads to the living room. He puts some chips in a serving bowl before heading to the living room.
Gavin smiles seeing him walk over. "We should watch a movie! I found a good one on Tv!"
"Ok." Michael puts the chips on the coffee table before plopping down onto the couch next to Gavin. "What are we watching?"
"I thought that Labyrinth would be a good choice." Gavin responds.
"Sure." Michael turns to the movie and they watch in silence for a few minutes.
Commercials end up coming up on screen and Michael glances to the other.
Gavin turns meeting his eyes and they share a small smile.
Before Michael even processes what he's doing he moves closer then leans over sealing his lips over Gavins as his eyes close.
