At this point I'm honestly writing this story more for me because almost no one is reading this. But I love this story so I'll do my best! I hope those of you who are reading this are enjoying it!

"Mako-chan go stand over there," Nagisa pointed to one side of the bakery then to another saying "And Rin-chan you can go stand over there!"

"This sucks." Rin grumbled as his friend directed him around. "Why can't they just take a written application?! Why do they need a video?!"

"Come on Rin," Makoto smiled at Rin as he stood where Nagisa told him to. "This will be fun if you actually try."

"Yeah Rin-chan! They won't ever accept this if you don't act nice towards the camera!" Nagisa situated the camera as he spoke.

"They won't accept this anyway, there's no way we would make it on! Which is why it would be less of a hassle to fill out a written application!" Rin snapped.

"Rin, you know this would get done quicker if you did what Nagisa said." Rei spoke from the table he sat at, which was covered in different papers. He pushed up his glasses before getting up to stand next to Nagisa.

"You too Rei?" Rin inquired before letting out an exasperated sigh.

It was decided by the group that Rin would apply as the head baker and Makoto as his assistant. Even though Rin was worse in front of a camera. Why did any of them think this was a good idea? Rin sure as hell didn't know.

Finally after what seemed like forever Rin finally was working with everyone, instead of against, and they were starting to get something done. Makoto and Rin both previously practiced their lines written by Nagisa, and rewritten by Haru. It was to help keep both of them from messing up too many times.

Nagisa first started by pointing the camera at Rin who was standing in front of their main display case.

"The name's Matsuoka Rin," As Rin spoke Nagisa was trying to gesture from behind the camera that he needed to smiles more. "I'm here in Iwatobi, in the For The Team Bakery which I started up with my assistant and boyfriend," At the word 'boyfriend' Rei motioned for Makoto to walk over next to Rin. "Tachibana Makoto."

It was now Makoto's turn to start talking. "We're both 25 and began this business almost two years ago now." Makoto smiled without Nagisa having to tell him. He wrapped his arm around Rin's waist which was just below the camera frame, causing the redhead to smile a bit more.

"Although we do make many baked goods we specialize in cupcakes."

"Cut!" Nagisa yelled. "Onto the next thing!"

With Nagisa's one word Rin let out a loud sigh. "This is so stupid."

"But you're doing great Rin," Makoto turned to Rin, wrapping his arms tighter around the other's waist and smiling.

"Goddamit Makoto you always make me smile." Rin cracked a small smile.

"I know." Makoto grinned, giving Rin a quick kiss on the top of his head before Nagisa motioned for him to come stand behind the camera with him.

"Now Mako-chan can you help me keep Rin smiling?"

"Sure Nagisa. What are we doing next?"

"Well.." Nagisa trailed off trying to remember what the next shot was supposed to be. Rei handed him the paper that had the basics written on it. "Ah! Thanks Rei-chan!" Rei nodded in response. Nagisa quickly scanned the paper looking for something. "We're going to go back to the kitchen and talk about that."

"Ah okay. Rin we're going back to the kitchen."

Rin gave a slight nod before heading back to make sure everything was clean enough, although Haru usually makes sure everything is spick and span.

"Here in the kitchen we make all of the baked goods we sell, because well what else would you do in a kitchen?" As Rin spoke Makoto had to stop himself from letting out a laugh at the line Nagisa had written. This caused Rin to smile a bit more, showing off his sharp pointed teeth.

"We've done large orders for parties, graduations, and other things. Back here it's usually me, Makoto, and our other friend Haru."

Quickly Makoto swapped places with Rin, it wasn't that smooth but they could edit it so it looked a bit more appealing.

"Here at the For The Team Bakery we're all friends. We've all been friends since high school so we all work really well together." Makoto smiled before continuing, "Me, Rin, and Haru do the baking. Our younger friends, Nagisa and Rei also help out with the business. Nagisa is the bright cheery face that greets those who come in, and we wouldn't be able to do anything without Rei helping behind the scenes." Makoto finished with a big smile on his face.

"Cut!" Nagisa yelled, signalling again that they were done with this scene. "You're both doing great!"

"Thanks Nagisa." Makoto rubbed the back of his neck as he talked.

Next up they took quick videos of everyone, Rei at a table working on some papers, Rin, Haru, and Makoto looking at an order sheet in the back, and finally Nagisa waving at the front counter. They decided that they would take what Makoto said and put it over these short videos.

They also took some video with Makoto and Rin talking about some of their most popular cupcakes.

And last but not least some of their other friends came in to get some cupcakes, who were also willing to participate in a video.

Nagisa also took some short clips of parts of the building, such as the logo on the front of the building and of the cupcake case.

"And we're done!" Nagisa exclaimed as he pressed the save button on the computer, "Finally we have a completed casting video." Nagisa grinned from ear to ear as he admired his video editing skills.

"Thank you for helping out with this Nagisa." Makoto grinned as a tired Rin had his head on the taller male's shoulder.

"It's no problem guys, I do also work here." Nagisa continued to smile as he turned the laptop around to the other four so they could watch it.

Everyone enjoyed it, Haru said how Rin actually looked partially comfortable in front of the camera. And with a click Nagisa sent the video to the people of Cupcake Wars.

"There's probably no way we'll get excepted." Rei sighed.

"We can always hope," Makoto pointed out.

"If this was all for nothing I swear…" Rin muttered since he was tired from the day trying to film. They did have a good time though since Nagisa made everyone laugh at least once.

"It won't be for nothing Rin." Makoto laced his fingers with Rin's.

"Mako-chan! Rin-chan! Haru-chan!" Nagisa ran into the bakery with his phone in hand. The customers looked up from their tables questioning the blond's actions. Rei came into the shop not long after, as he attempted to follow his boyfriend.

"Nagisa please calm down." Makoto came out from the back of the kitchen with flour on his clothes, in his hair and basically everywhere.

"But Mako-chaaaan it's really important!" Nagisa whined.

"Oi Nagisa what's the big deal." Rin also came out of the kitchen with frosting on his face.

"Rin-chan quick! Go get Haru-chan!"

"I'm already here. What is it?" Haru appeared as well, almost completely clean.

"Look at this!" Nagisa put his phone in front of the trio, smiling wide from ear to ear. Rei also was grinning behind him.

"Woah." Makoto whispered "Is this real?"

"You can't be serious!" Rin exclaimed.

Haru just smiled turning to Rin and Makoto. "You both did good."

"Yep! You guys are officially on Cupcake Wars!" Nagisa jumped up and down.

All of the customers heard what Nagisa said, some of them cheered since their favorite local bakers were going to be on television. Others said congratulatory words.

Makoto and Rin looked at the email in shock before turning to each other. Makoto was the first to give Rin a loving hug, followed by a kiss. Some of the customers awwed at the sight, others continued to congratulate everyone.

I hope you guys enjoyed :D feel free to favorite, follow and review! I'll be back with chapter 3!
