Chapter 2: In which Anthony eats a pink frosted donut
Anthony grabbed the camera and threw it to Ian: „Today's Thursday, we should record Lunchtime with Smosh anyway."
His friend nodded and pressed the Power Button.
"Hey Guys, it's Lunchtime with Smosh- Beeyotch! So, today we're getting- what are we getting, Anthony?"
Anthony grinned goofily into the camera: "We're gonna drive into the city and pick up some bagels, because I want to eat some fricken bagels right now."
They talked about random stuff as they drove through the streets of Sacramento. They sang "Naked Guy in the Sky". They laughed. But it didn't feel right and Anthony was afraid what Twitter questions he would read afterwards they had eaten.
Ian steered the car into the parking lot, so they had to walk only two roads to get to the Bagel shop. As they walked, Ian told the camera how he once in sixth grade had twisted an ankle as he had crushed into one of the mascots advertising for an ice cream parlor. Anthony laughed loudly because he remembered Ian lying there, buried under "Frosty, the ice cream bear". Suddenly, someone tapped his shoulder, he turned around. Two men were standing there, he didn't know them, and neither seemed Ian to do.
"Hey, you guys, aren't you-"
"No", said Anthony and he tugged Ian at his sleeve to walk away.
But the guy tapped him again on the shoulder: "You are the gay guys, aren't you?"
Anthony closed his eyes. He had been afraid that something like that would happen to them. The guy talking to him just looked curious, but his mate didn't look very likeable.
"We're the guys from Smosh, if that's what you mean", Ian said and turned around again.
Now, the other guy was holding them back: "So you are the little fairies from YouTube!"
Anger rose in him, but Ian was faster than him.
"Got a problem with it?" he said, and with every moment, the rage seemed to make him grow 5 Centimeters.
"Yeah, you little bastards." The other man leaned down to Ian. Anthony could smell a cloud of alcohol coming out of his mouth.
"Ian, come- I said, come."
He pulled Ian back and dragged him into the opposite directions of the men, of whom the drunk now started shouting nasty swearwords into their direction. Ian turned round for one second and showed him his middle finger. Anthony grabbed Ian's arm and pulled him away with him. They turned the corner and got to the bagel shop. Ian broke away and kicked an empty beer can away. Then he calmed down. He didn't care filming anything for lunchtime with Smosh anymore.
"Dude, this has to stop. It's horrible. We lost all of our severity. We are a joke."
Anthony didn't reply because he knew it was true.
"You know what?", Ian's blue eyes looked bitter, "If they want us o be a joke, we gonna treat it like a joke. If they want their swishes, they are going to get them."
"What?"
Ian ignored him and walked into the Bagel Shop. "Two Bagels of these and two pink frosted donuts, please." He grinned at Anthony: "You have to eat your enemy, Anthony; we should put this into Food battle 2012."
He gave the saleslady the money and grabbed the bag. There were three girls sitting in one corner and they seemed to talk about them; then, one girl turned around and said: "Ian? Anthony? Smosh?"
They turned around to them. The girl was pretty young, around thirteen, fourteen: "It's so cool to meet you, guys." Anthony was surprised, as always, how natural their fans spoke to them, as if they knew them personally.
"Thanks", he said and smiled to them. All of the girls blushed.
"I've watched your last video" the girl said, while Ian gave her an autograph onto her schoolbag. "So, you're together now."
Jeeze, that girl was pretty inquisitive. He just wanted to say no, as Ian lay down the pencil on the table, squeezed Anthony with an arm to him and said: "Yeah, sure we are."
The girls smiled excited. Anthony just shot Ian a deathly glance, but his What-the-devil-is-going-on-here-stop-this-at-once- you-idiot glare didn't seem to work because Ian just smiled at him, a small dangerous glint in his eyes.
"That's so sweet!" the girl didn't seem to care that they were apparently gay.
"We have to go now", Anthony blurted out and they said goodbye. Ian still had his arm wrapped around his waist and he turned around, gave the girls a little wave with his free arm and then he stood unto his tiptoes and pecked Anthony a little kiss onto his cheek. Anthony slammed the door open and they walked around the corner, then he pushed Ian away.
"What the hell is your problem, man?" He swished over his cheek with his arm sleeve. "Eurghh, and now I've got your spit on my face."
Ian just grinned. "I've told you, man, they are gonna get their gays."
"Never do that to me again."
"Please", Ian turned around to him and wriggled with his eyebrows: "We both know you want it, too."
As an answer, Anthony just slapped him over his head.

They drove home and Ian divided the bagels onto two napkins. Then he turned the camera on, again: "Arrrghm." He grinned with his full mouth into the camera. "First bite."
Then, he turned the camera around and filmed Anthony, who seemed to shovel half the bagel all in one bite down his throat. "First bite."
"Anthony, I believe it is time for something."
"Finding twitter questions, finding twitter questions…" By now, Anthony really hated that song; he scrolled down all the questions of their twitter followers.
Now kiss Ian. I mean, you're in love. TeleportingThinGuy
Stop filming this shit, you little freaks. Angie_Ferguson
KISS IAN! 3 Ianthony4ever
What is your problem, guys? Gorilla353
Anthony scrolled down, all the way, but he only found questions to tell him to kiss Ian, or to end Smosh. Both ideas were pretty disturbing. He leaned his head unto his hand. Finally, there was one question that didn't contain kisses:
Try to touch your feet while jumping. WTFiretruck
Ian fell to the ground as he tried it. Anthony hurt himself as he banged with his foot against the door frame.
"Fuck." He hold his feet while Ian laughed at him. Anthony just frowned and pouted into the camera.
"So, what's the next dare?"
Anthony scrolled feverishly up and down the twitter page, but all he saw was: Kiss Ian. And he had got enough gay affection from Ian today.
"Anthony, what's the next dare? Never mind."
Ian grabbed the phone out of his hand and looked examining onto the display. Anthony tried to fetch it from him but gave up when a very stinging pain shot through his foot. He grabbed his donut and bit into it. Ahh. Sugar. Exactly what he needed on this queer day.
"Guys! Around fifty people asked Anthony and me to kiss each other!"
Anthony shot him a warning glance, but Ian seemed to ignore it.
"I really don't like to do this, but since we're a couple, that's no problem." Ian turned around to him and grinned dangerously.
"No. NO, Ian. I am NOT going to kiss you, also, you've got cheese between your teeth!"
Ian took the camera: "Anthony is a picky little pussy, so now I've got to brush my teeth for him, but what don't you do to impress your boyfriend."
Anthony jumped up, ignoring his hurting foot, and tried to snatch the camera out of Ian's hand.
"Dude, what is your problem?"
"What is your problem, Anthony?"
Anthony stared angrily into Ian's face: "Hm, what could it be? That my best friend tries to KISS me all the time? That I have to pretend to be gay? That we get insulted by over one thousand people?"
Ian let the camera sink. "You don't need to be that angry, dude. I don't want to kiss you, either, if that comforts you."
"Yeah, you only just did it in public."
"That's because we need to stop this. We need to get control over what we do. So, if we act as if we were really gay, it is all under control, because it's our own decision. This Hacker or Stalker or whatever, he's powerless, because we do the last thing he expects. We are going to make a fool out of him. We see who's really our fan, and we can support the gays. Also, I think after ten episodes at the latest they'll all have forgotten it. Cool, right?"
"That's sounds alright, but I have to admit that I really don't want to pretend to be gay. With you."
"Thanks." Ian lifted one eyebrow: "You said yourself that they are going to pay for this. It's time to start, don't you think?"
"But what about Kalel?"
"Dude, she knows you're not gay, she loves you, it's not going to be a problem!"
Anthony wasn't at all convinced, but he was indeed really pissed off by all the insults.
"Deal."
He said and gave Ian a high five.
I hope you enjoyed it :) Please review if you find any mistakes or suggestions for improvement.
