"CHARLIE!" Alex yelled up the stairs.
"Yes?" Charlie said as he bounded down the stairs toward his friend.
"I want to do this video. It's a questionnaire sort of thing; do you want to help me?" Alex asked as he fixed himself a cup of tea.
"Course! Mind making one of them for me?" Charlie said pointing at the cup in Alex's hands.
"Sure. Hey, do you want to come and see Dan with me? I was going to congratulate him on his million subscribers."
"Mmhmm sounds good," he said taking the freshly made cup of tea from Alex.
There was a knock at the door and both Charlie and Alex ran to answer it, as they fought over whom should open the door, the person outside rang the bell again. Eventually Alex put Charlie into a headlock and then opened the door.
"Hey guys!" said Liam said laughing as the two untangled themselves and the three of them walked back toward the kitchen.
"Hello, so you're still good to come to Dan's today?" Alex asked Liam as he started making yet another cup of tea.
"Of course!" Liam answered taking the up of tea from Alex.
Charlie's heart sunk at that, he wasn't even sure why, he just felt sad when he knew it wasn't just him and Alex. Well, they were best friends after all he guessed.
"Groovy, let's finish our tea and then get going," Liam said and they did exactly that.
.
ooooOOOOooooOOOO
.
"Hi, guys!" Dan said as he wrenched to door open to reveal 3 of his friends.
"Congrats, man!" Alex said embracing Dan as he walked into Dan's house.
"Yeah congratulations," Charlie said also hugging Dan as he went in.
"Well done," Liam said awkwardly as Dan gestured for him to come in.
"Loved your last video Phil," said Charlie as the other two walked into the room.
"Aha, thanks, Charlie. Hi, Liam," Phil said smiling kindly. He didn't like people feeling awkward.
"Hi, Phil," Liam said smiling back.
"So are you going to do a million subscribers video?" Alex asked Dan as they all sat down on the couches in the living room.
"Of course, I'm just not sure what yet," Dan said as he got up to get some food for everyone.
"Gracious host you are!" laughed Charlie as he took a malteser from Dan.
"You should all consider yourselves lucky! Doesn't even let me snack on his maltesers at the best of times," Phil said as he took a couple maltesers from Dan as well.
"Can't a bloke be in a good mood sometimes? I just hit a million subscribers for goodness sakes!"
"Dan. I just had an idea!" Charlie said suddenly.
"Yeah, mate?" Dan said looking over at Charlie.
"You set yourself on fire! You know do the opposite of your YouTube name!" Charlie said, sounding excited.
"That sounds brilliant! Thanks for the idea, Charles!" Dan said laughing.
"To add to that, it could be like in a film clip of one of your 'sexy end screen dances', your fans would sure love that!" Alex said, as he re positioned himself on the couch to lean over the coffee table.
"This sounds great! I should probably start on it; I don't think it's particularly simple to get set on fire! But that's a great idea, guys, the fans are gonna love it," Dan said, he sounded as sincere as Dan could be.

ooooOOOOooooOOOO
.
"How are you, Charlie?" Alex said as he sat down next to Charlie on the couch.
"Good thanks, you?" Charlie answered.
"Come on, Charles, don't sound so formal mate!" Alex said punching his friend in the arm.
"Mmm, sorry," Charlie said pulling his apologetic face.
"Oh, no! Save me, Charlie I'm having a heart attack!" Alex said clutching his chest, "You're face; it's just too darn adorable!"
"You sound like those creepy fan girls!" Charlie laughed at Alex's dramatics but his heart skipped a beat when Alex referred to his face as 'adorable'.
"Of course I do! I am one!" he said looking creepily at Charlie, "I'm just lucky enough to live with the object of my obsession."
"Stop kidding around Alex," Charlie said choking out a laugh.
This confirmed it for Alex, he knew something was up with his best friend, he just couldn't think of what it could be. Alex had been trying to keep up his façade in front of Charlie and was hoping that he hadn't tripped up and accidentally let Charlie know how he felt.
"What's wrong, mate?" Alex asked as he moved closer and put a hand on Charlie's arm.
"Nothing, I'm fine," Charlie said, unconsciously leaning into the hand on his shoulder.
"No you're not. Where's my Charlie? Something's up, you know you can tell me anything," Alex said, trying to comfort his friend without getting too close, just in case.
"I'm really sorry, Alex but I'm just not ready to tell anyone okay?" Charlie said as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
"That's fine. Just tell me when you're ready, alright? Because I don't want to find out whatever it is second hand," Alex said he moved slightly closer to Charlie.
"Of course, thanks for understanding," Charlie said and he moved his own hand onto Alex's arm.
Then Alex realized why he hadn't moved closer to Charlie in the first place.
"I've, um, I should call it a night. I mean, gotta film a video tomorrow right? Anyway, night, Charles," Alex said squeezing Charlie's arm and then moved to then kitchen to put away his tea cup.
"Yeah, night Alex!" came Charlie's voice from the lounge.
