When Jonathan woke up the next day, it was already nearing midmorning by the time he groggily rolled out of bed. The first thing that came to his mind was that yesterday was not a dream; it had all happened, for real, and now there was no turning back. This was going to fucking happen, and it still seemed unbelievable. He had to start making preparations for his friends to come and stay with him, and he had to do it fast. He didn't want this little meet up to delay at all. He got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to shower, ready to start his day again.
Once he was done showering, Jonathan made himself a quick breakfast, and sat down to eat. This was a routine of his, something he did everyday after he woke up. Shower and breakfast, sometimes some morning cartoons, but today, he was thinking. But he did that a lot too, sometimes to the point of thinking too much. Trying to think of a good time for the crew to come was proving to be a bit of a challenge for the man. A week from today would be good, Delirious decided, now he had to tell the guys that he had decided on a day so that they could get plane tickets and what not. His insides were still practically bubbling with excitement.
A week from today, and that meant that he would have to clean his house spick and span, have to go to the store and get plenty of food for all his hungry ass friends, he would have to make sure he had plenty of room for everyone, plenty of blankets and pillows, places for them to sleep and be comfy. Jonathan wanted his friends to be as comfortable as possible, and if this little meet up trip was successful, hopefully there would be many more to come in the future, and that thought made him smile.
During his breakfast, his phone buzzed, and he pulled it out of his pocket, checking the screen. Of course it was Evan texting him, who else would it be? Delirious entered his password, and opened the text, and smiled at its words. Thought you were going to text me when you woke up? Evan was so cute nearly all the time, and he didn't even have to try most of the time. It was something of his that Delirious had grown to love, no matter what.
His fingers typed away on the keyboard, smiling as he did so. I just woke up, I'm eating breakfast.
Whatcha eating? Evan asked.
Cereal. Delirious texted back in an instant.
He waited for Vanoss' reply, taking a bite of his breakfast in the mean time. When his phone finally buzzed again, he picked it up and read the text. You want to play some garry's mod in a little bit? Just me and you? He had asked, and Jonathan's heart did that little flutter thing it did whenever he talked to Evan. He absolutely loved when he and Vanoss played alone together. He felt as though Vanoss could actually be his true self, without the other guys in the crew teasing him about every little nonchalant thing. And of course, there was the fact that Delirious loved all Evan's attention when they played alone, it was great.
Yeah, sure. Jonathan texted back. I've gotta talk to you about some stuff anyway.
Okay, Vanoss replied, I'll be on in about an hour.
In the mean time, while Jonathan finished his now soggy breakfast, he sent a group text to all the other guys in the crew: Nogla, Mini, Moo, Lui, Wildcat, Marcel, Droid, and Terroriser, asking them if a week from today was an okay time for all of them to fly down and stay with Delirious for a week or so. Of course, they didn't have to stay that long if they didn't want to, but he said a week, just in case any of them were wondering. He also texted Cartoonz, telling him all about it. This was going to be so much fun, and he couldn't hardly wait for everyone to see him.
Cartoonz was vital to him, and he had to be there for the visit just in case something were to go wrong. Jonathan didn't plan on any mishaps, but you never knew, anxiety could creep up on you out of nowhere, and he didn't want to take that risk. That's why he wanted Luke there; he knew Luke, and Luke could help him and the guys if anything did happen to go wrong. Delirious was thankful for that piece of shit, always helping him and being there for him. He didn't know what he would do without him.
Lucky for him, the guys texted back instantly, all agreeing to Jonathan's date. A week from today, seven days, and right now thate seemed like an eternity to them. The end of the week couldn't be fast enough. But Delirious knew that seven days was enough to get packed, buy plane tickets, and make some videos to be queued while everyone was away. There was no way a channel like theirs could go seven days without posting a video of some sort. He knew their fans would go absolutely insane if they had to wait that long for a video of something.
Finally, an hour passed, and Delirious got on skype to see if Evan was on yet. He was thankful when he saw the little green check mark beside his name. Immediately, he called him into a chat, turning the volume up on his PC in the process. Jonathan never used his camera when he and Vanoss skype chatted with each other, and Evan only used his sometimes. It was kind of pointless really, but still, Jonathan liked seeing Evan's face. He liked to think that Evan was the only one he used the face camera with, but still, he might have used it with the other guys as well.
"So, brown hair, blue eyes, huh?" Evan joked when he answered the call.
Delirious snickered, "You're still stuck on that shit?"
"This is a big deal man, do you realize that soon we'll be looking at each other?" Evan replied, starting up garry's mod and inviting Delirious to a game. Hell, a part of Vanoss even thought that this all still felt too much like a dream. He felt like he'd wake up any moment now, and find out that Delirious had never said anything about setting up a meet. "Did you figure everything out?" He inquired as he and Jonathan began their game of gmod. He was just as excited as Delirious, maybe even more. The fact that he was going to meet his best friend of three years for the first time ever really hadn't even registered in his head yet.
"Yeah, the guys all agreed on a week from today." Jonathan said, pushing buttons on his controller. "At my house." He added with a laugh. "It's going to be crazy with everyone all here together." He could just imagine everyone yelling at each other, swearing, possibly throwing things and getting drunk. "My neighbors are gonna be pissed." He laughed, causing Vanoss to laugh as well.
"Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the cops got called." Evan replied. It was quiet between the two for a moment as they took turns killing each other up with explosives and sharing obnoxious laughter. Finally, Vanoss spoke again, "Hey, can I ask you something?" He inquired, uncertainty in his voice.
"Of course." Delirious said immediately.
"Do you think it'd be okay if I came a day earlier than everyone else?" Vanoss asked. "I kind of just want to have you to myself for a little while before everyone else comes and steals you away." He said honestly, with a small chuckle. At those words, Delirious felt his face getting hot. Evan wanted them to spend time together alone, without the other guys. That had to mean something, right? Something good would come out of this, something meaningful. He just had that feeling deep down. "Jonathan?" Vanoss questioned, pulling the other man out of his thoughts. "Is that okay?"
"That'd be cool." Delirious replied once he snapped out of it.
"Are you sure?" Evan asked. "I wouldn't be invading your space or anything?"
"Nah, it's fine." Jonathan waived it off, but internally, he was losing his shit over this. The butterflies were swarming his guts at just the simple thought of he and Evan being alone together. They'd talk, and share secrets, and just be together with each other. That was enough to drive any person insane for a little while. He laughed, "We can go get pizza and watch movies." He suggested, still blushing at the thought of he and Evan cuddling on the couch and stuffing their faces together.
Vanoss smiled, "You know, that actually sounds perfect."
"Just don't tell the other guys you're coming early, they might get jealous." Delirious joked with that laugh of his, causing Evan to laugh as well. Of course, the crew knew that Vanoss and Delirious had a strong friendship, and many considered them best friends, but Delirious didn't want them to feel like he was choosing Vanoss over them. But Evan, he was just different. He was so easy to talk to, and when he and Jonathan first became friends, they talked about life, and everything they had been through. Evan knew things about Jonathan that nobody else knew, and Jonathan knew things about Evan that nobody else knew.
"Don't worry, I won't." Vanoss reassured. "Now let's blow some shit up."
"Yeah!" Delirious laughed. They played garry's mod for a few hours, making a compilation of funny deaths, something they liked to do often. And after gmod, they played grand theft auto for a while, killing innocent pedestrians, blowing up cars, until it was dinner time. "Hey man, I gotta get off here and go cook something, I'm starving." Jonathan said, pulling Evan out of his thoughts.
"Okay that's fine, text me later, alright?" He said.
"Don't I always?" Delirious asked, smiling. "I'll talk to you later, Evan." He said before hanging up his skype call, and shutting down his PC. He rubbed his eyes that were sore from gaming, and padded to the kitchen to make something easy for dinner. Jonathan decided on cheeseburgers, because they were easy, but also fast to make, and his stomach was begging for food right now. He couldn't wait any longer. And that was another thing he was excited for; he couldn't wait to cook for the guys. Cooking was one of his hidden talents, and he was actually pretty damn good at it. He wanted to wow them with his food.
When his food was done, he sat down at his table, alone once more and began eating his food. Sometimes he just sat there in silence, sometimes he watched TV, and sometimes he just scrolled mindlessly through twitter. Most times, he didn't like this, he didn't like eating alone. It felt too strange to just be alone with your thoughts all the time, and he didn't like that. Jonathan wanted someone here with him so his house didn't feel so lonely. Of course, he had his dog, but that couldn't even compare to a human presence. Hopefully, that would all soon change after he met Evan and the rest of the guys.
