Matthias: you almost here?

It was a few days after Matthias had first met Lukas, and right now he was waiting outside on a bench in a park, waiting for Lukas and Emil to show up. He was freezing his butt off at the moment because he was sitting on a cold bench in the middle of winter.

Lukas: Yeah. Emil is just mentally preparing himself to meet you, right now.

Lukas: He tells me not to send you that last text.

Matthias: ok. pls hurry I'm freezing

Lukas: We'll be there soon.

With in the next few minutes, Matthias saw Lukas and Emil walking towards him. He shot up and ran over to them.

"Hi Lukas! Hi Emil!" Matthias gretted the two brothers.

"Hello." Lukas said.

"Ahem. Hello, Matthias."

"Brother, stop trying to act cool. Just a minute ago you were freaking out to me about how you get to meet the Matthias."

Emil's face turned a light red, "I was not!"

"Yes you were."

"No I wasn't!"

"Yes."

"No!"

"Yes."

"N-"

"Should we get going?" Matthias interupted the brothers' argument.

"Oh, uh, yeah." Emil said.

"So is there anywhere specific you want to go?" Matthias asked.

"Well, Lukas had mentioned that there is an ice rink nearby."

"Do you want to go there?"

"Sure."

The three started walking in the direction of the ice rink, Lukas leading the way because he was the only one who really knew where they were going. Eventually they came across the building. Matthias quickly ran inside to protect him from the bitter cold of the outside. Lukas and Emil walked in behind him. The three walked up to the counter to pay, and to get ice skates. Lukas started getting his money out to pay for him and Emil, but Matthias stopped him.

"Let me pay."

"Why?" Lukas asked.

"Because I want to."

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I can pay for myself. I don't need you to pay for us."

"Think of it as my payment to you, for driving me home that one time Tino left me."

"...Fine."

"Yeah!" Matthias payed for the trio, and after telling the worker what sized shoe they wore, they were given their skates. The three put on their skates and started walking to the ice rink. Emil walked in head of Lukas and Matthias.

"Matthias." Lukas whispered.

"Hm?"

"Emil would really love to make a video with you, but he is way to shy to ask you. Do you think you could suggest the idea to him?"

"Yes." Matthias whispered back, "I was already planning on asking him anyway."

"Thanks."

Emil reached the door to the rink first, so he opened it and held it open for Lukas and Matthias.

"Hey, Emil?" Matthias said to the younger boy.

"Yeah?"

"Do you want to make a video together?"

"Wait, seriously?!"

"Yes, seriously!"

"Yes!"

"We can make a vlog to post on our channels."

"Yeah, okay!" The two walked into the room, but before they walked out onto the ice, Matthias pulled his phone out of his pocket and set it to video.

"Hey, guys!" Matthias said to the camera. "Right now, I am at an ice rink with Emil." Matthias moved the camera so that Emil was in the picture.

"Hello!" Emil waved at the camera.

"Have you come here before, Emil?" Matthias asked, facing Emil.

"I've come a few times with Lukas." Emil replied.

"Oh yeah! That's right! We are also here with Emil's older brother, Lukas!" Matthias made it so the camera faced Lukas, who was already skating on the ice. There were a few people on the ice with Lukas, but it was mostly empty.

"Have you done much ice skating, Matthias?" Emil questioned.

"I did when I was younger, but I haven't done it in quite a few years. But today I'll blow you all away with my awesome skating skills." With his phone in his hand, Matthias walked over to the entrace of the ice rink, with Emil following behind him. Matthias stepped onto the ice. "Prepare to be amazed." He started to skate, and then

"AHHH!" Matthias fell onto his butt. Hard. Emil saw this, and immediately burst out laughing. He couldn't help it. Lukas also happened to witness this, and a small smile appeared on his lips. He gracefully skated over to Matthias. Matthias was still recovering when Lukas came over. Matthias had decided to stop the video for now.

"Need help?" Lukas asked Matthias. Matthias' cheeks were slightly red from embarrassment.

"Yeah. That'd be great." Matthas accepted the hand that Lukas offered him.

"Little brother, come join us." Lukas called to Emil.

"Don't call me that. And, I'm coming." Emil walked onto the ice. He skated around a little bit. He wasn't as graceful as Lukas, but he didn't completly fail like Matthias. He made his was back over to Matthias and Lukas.

"Do you need one of those walker things to help you not fall over?" Emil asked Matthias.

"No. I'll get the hang of it. I might need a little help, though." Matthias replied, still slightly embarrassed. Lukas sighed and put Matthias' right arm around his shoulders. Matthias's left hand was using the wall for support. Matthias and Lukas slowly made their way around the rink. Very slowly. Emil left them and skated around on his own. After and bit, he came back over to where Matthias and Lukas were skating. He decided that now would be a good time to get some filming done.

"Here we have the great Matthias, showing off his awesome skating skills." Emil said. He had the camera of his phone facing Matthias.

"Ah no! Don't film me like this!" Matthias exclaimed, after realising what Emil was doing.

"Oh, hush. You're fine." Lukas said, with an eye roll. Emil continued filming, talking and asking questions. Eventually, though, he quit filming. Matthias had finally gained some skating skills. Lukas left him and went back to his beautiful skating, with Matthias struggling on. Matthias was putting all of his concentration into not falling over. Matthias' feet started hurting, so he sat down on the bleachers just outside the ice rink. He was enjoying just watching Lukas and Emil skate. Lukas especially.

After a few minutes, Lukas and Emil seemed to have finally realised that Matthias was no longer on the ice with them. They spotted him sitting in the bleachers, and they came over to him.

"Why did you leave?" Lukas asked, sitting down next to Matthias. Emil sat down next to Lukas.

"These ice skates are really hurting my feet, so I took a break."

"Ice skates usually do that to everybody's feet." Emil added.

"Yeah. I'll probably go back to skating in a little bit. You guys can continue."

"I know of something that might hurt less on your feet." Lukas said.

"Really? What?" Matthias asked.

"Hockey skates."

"You can get those?"

"Yes."

"Okay, let's try it then!" The three made their way back over to where they originally recieved their ice skates. After exchanging Matthias' ice skates for hockey skates, and after Matthias put the hockey skates, the trio once again, went onto the ice.

"Ahhhh. That feels better." Matthias said, enjoying the more comfy skates. They skated around for a while longer, with Matthias and Emil making the occational video. After they were all kind of tired of skating, they decided to leave. While the three were taking off their skates, Matthias noticed a small group of teenage girls, giggling and occationally pointing at him. Matthias guessed that they were probably fans. Matthias took off of his skates and walked over to the girls.

"Hello." He greeted.

"H-hi." One of the girls giggled. "You're Matthias?"

"Indeed I am." He smiled at them. "I just finished skating with one of my youtuber friends, and his older brother." Matthias pointed to where Lukas and Emil were sitting.

"Oh, I know him!" Another girl said.

"Yeah, he's pretty cool." Matthias said.

"Would it be okay if we took a picture with you, and maybe Emil?" The same girl asked.

"Of course." Matthias smiled. "Hey, Emil! Can you come over here for a picture?" Matthias called.

"Me?" Emil asked.

"Yes you." Emil got up from his seat and walked over. "Do you want to join, Lukas?" Matthias asked.

"No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." Lukas remained sitting, while Matthias and Emil took pictures with the girls. After the pictures, Matthias asked what the girls' names were, after recieveing an answer he said his goodbyes and he and Emil collected Lukas, and the three left.

"Do you get recognised a lot?" Emil asked Matthias.

"Yeah, sometimes." He answered. "What about you?"

"Rarely."

"Oh." Matthias said. "Hey! Do you guys want to come to my place for a little bit?"

"If we do, I won't be able to stay long. I have to meet someone later today."

"Aww, okay." Matthias said, slightly disapointed. "But do you guys want to come over for a bit, though?"

Emil looked towards his older brother.

"Sure." Lukas shrugged his sholders.

"Yeah!"

Once they arrived at Matthias' apartment, Matthias went inside, and boiled some hot water. Matthias, Lukas, and Emil all sat in the living room, waiting for the water to boil.

"Oh Emil!" Matthias said.

"Hm?"

"Would you mind if I downloaded the videos you took today, on my computer so I can edit them with mine?"

"Sure."

"Follow me, then." Matthias led Emil to his room, with his camera and computer. "Ta-da! This is where the youtube magic happens." He took Emil's phone, and pluged it into his computer, where he downloaded the videos. After having no more need with Emil's phone, Matthias handed it back to him. "Oh, right! The water!" Matthias smacked his forehead, and walked to the kitchen. It turned out that Lukas had made them all cups of hot chocolate.

"Thanks, Lukas!" Matthias beamed, talking the hot cup from Lukas.

"Yeah, thank you." Emil added, also recieving a cup.

"You're welcome." Lukas replied. Emil stayed for a little while longer, drinking his hot chocolate and talking with Matthias and Lukas. Eventually, he had to leave, so he said his goodbyes. Lukas didn't have anywhere to be, so he didn't leave with Emil.

So all that was left was Matthias and Lukas.
