Chapter 3:
The other Side

[Still flashback]

Two weeks ago they returned from their tour through Europe. It'd been one hell of a ride, including a crazy guy with an axe, a buried Adam and… the kiss. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he made his way to the kitchen. The sun was hidden behind thick clouds and since they'd returned, Adam had the distinct feeling that the summer was finally over. All in all the morning wasn't quite pleasant, but that feeling was caused by Mitch as well. The poor guy caught a cold on their way back and what had started as mild coughing was getting pretty serious during the last days.
Of course Adam was unbearable and tried to ignore the desire to check on Mitch every hour.

Another thing holding him back was the fact that they still hadn't talked to each other about the kiss and their quite obvious feelings for each other, due to Mitch's cold. At least he told himself that. The fear had probably something to do with it as well.
"Morning, Adam. Want some as well?"

On most days Ian was the first to get up and while he greeted the sleepy youtuber, he raised a box of cereals. Adam mumbled a quiet reply and nodded, as he sat down at the table and looked around. "No one else up yet?"
Ian shook his head and passed him the bowl. "No, but I already checked up on Mitch." Adam tried desperately not to be too obvious. He practically forced himself to keep on eating and staring down at the table. "How is he?" he asked after what felt like an eternity. Ian didn't seem to notice.

"He'll be okay at the end of the week. Fever is the same and his coughing sounds still nasty, but he decided to record something again today." This time Adam couldn't stop himself from looking up. "He is too sick for that." His voice was a combination of worry and rage. Before Ian opened his mouth to reply, he poured himself another cup of coffee.
"Don't look at me like that, Adam. I thought the same and told him so, but he worries about his channel and the fans. You know him." Adam didn't try to hold back the sigh this time and looked towards the stairs. Ian was right and in all objectivity he understood Mitch's point of view as well. He probably would do exactly the same.

As he stood up and went for the stairs, Ian asked confused, "Where are you going?"
The reply was simple.
"I'm going to record with him. That way we can at least keep an eye on him."
Even though Adam tried, he couldn't hold back the eager tone in his voice. Ian said nothing.

"You sure about that, Biggums?"
Jerome sounded as worried as Adam felt. A sniffling sound could be heard, before Mitch's voice replied, "Stop worrying. Just twenty minutes, then I'm in my bed again." The Canadian actually sounded very pissed off and despite the situation Adam began to laugh. To calm Mitch down, he opened the game and said, "Okay, let's get started guys. We only have twenty minutes of beating his ass while he's still sick." More laughter, this time Mitch's as well.

A few minutes later he started the recording.
"Hey guys, Sky here and I'm with xrpmx13, BashurVerse, theBajanCanadian, logdotzip and Fluffy and today we are playing hide and seek. What is…"
Nothing unusual occurred in the following minutes and they nearly forgot about the fact that Mitch was sick. He was barely talking and kept quite to go easy on his voice. The second round of the game had just started, as Ryan finally addressed him. "Mitch?" His answer was absorbed by Bashur's laughter and a few more seconds passed, before he asked again: "Mitch, you're being awfully quite, are you-"

This time, his reply was louder than they had expected.
"I'm resisting the cough!"
His voice was strained and they lowered theirs. Before the situation could get awkward, Bash's laughter got them to reply and someone shouted randomly "Fight it!". Adam and the others joined in and soon the situation passed. It was just a harmless cough, Adam tried to tell himself. But the worry for Mitch wouldn't disappear. Not for a second.

"And we'll see you all in the next round!"
Said Canadian ended the round a bit later and they got a short break, before they would start the final one. Everybody relaxed and Bash was still laughing about a joke, as a confusing and rushed "Oh crap, give me a sec-" came from Mitch. He interrupted himself and his voice got quieter, he probably distanced himself from the microphone, but the cough could still be heard loud and clear.
This time, it was way worse than during the recording and only now did Adam realize, that Mitch had refrained himself before. Jerome and the other guys came to the same conclusion and the Canadian's best friend got rid of his frustration, "Damn it, Mitch! We fucking told you that it was a bad idea! Can't you listen to us just for once?!"

Despite his serious tone Ryan and Tyler eventually started to chuckle, soon followed by Bash as well. The coughing stopped and it took Mitch a few seconds to catch his breath again. When he had rolled back to the microphone, he replied with a weakened voice, "No can do, Bacca, sorry. It's just half an hour, I'll survive. It's just a cold, so calm down." Jerome let out a frustrated sigh, but started to chuckle as well due to the familiar nickname. Contrary to this Adam couldn't let go of it yet. He knew it was stupid and a simple cold wasn't too serious, but since Mitch was more to him than just a friend, Adam's feelings got out of hand. Especially, when Mitch wasn't up to his full health.

"You're sick. We worry about you, no matter how bad it is. We can't help it."
Immediately the starting laughter died down. It was the tone of his voice rather than his words that was responsible for it. Mitch understood the hidden message without any problem. You are sick and I can't stop being concerned for you. Of course he didn't mention it, but he couldn't stop himself from replying anyway.
"I'm sorry. Just this last round and then I'm off to bed. I Promise. You can make sure of that."
The last part was dangerous, one of the guys could easily get suspicious, but Adam's answer silenced them for now. "You bet! Now, shall we continue?"

They agreed, glad to leave the confusing topic alone and several minutes passed once more. Something regarding twitter seemed to go on between Jerome and Mitch, but the others had no idea what exactly their mini-fight was about. It was hilarious nonetheless. The anxious feeling began to leave Adam and he felt himself relax again.
Mitch wore him out. Up until now Adam hadn't complained about his new feelings for him, since he accepted them. The famous butterflies in his stomach, the prickling skin and the increasing heartbeat… To feel something so beautiful and exiting for somebody special was a blessing. But now Adam had to think twice about that.

He worried way too much.
And the more days passed, the more people would notice for sure.

Stupid nightmares interrupted his sleep, mostly he was in a bad mood and now Mitch had to force himself to record a video despite his condition. Maybe he was doing it on purpose? A nervous and grumpy Adam, always looking out for him, because he couldn't contain his feelings…
This had to be it. Oh, Mitch was going to pay for that later.

The conversation went on and Adam forced himself to listen again. Obviously the little fight between Mitch and Jerome regarding twitter continued and Adam planned on checking it out later. At one point he told a random story about someone saying mean stuff about his thighs. He didn't really bother about it, but it made the guys laugh a bit, as he continued his search for Bash. And then Mitch had to talk again.
"Two things. First off: Jerome I hate you, I can't believe you pulled that off and Adam, your thighs are beautiful."

Bastard.
He had to say something like that, didn't he?

Instead of voicing his thoughts, Adam replied playfully, "I know my thighs are beautiful, I just wanted you to compliment me!" They fooled around some more, until his hands tingled with excitement. It wasn't the first time they did that, but now there was a hidden meaning behind every single word. He enjoyed it and by the amused voice of Mitch he guessed, that the Canadian thought exactly the same.

"Can you guys hear me at all?"
Oh crap. Only now Adam remembered that they weren't alone. Luckily Mitch replied a second later, but as the coughing began again, Adam cursed himself for his thoughtlessness. The longer they recorded, the worse it sounded and impatiently he glanced at the time. Just a little bit longer…

"Jerome, we're just tired of your shenanigans- … -you always like- … -I can't talk-"
He couldn't even finish his sentence and broke into a coughing fit. It required all of Adam's willpower, not to run to Mitch's room right now. The only thought keeping him back was that the fans shouldn't worry because of his mindless actions. So Adam forced out a funny response and just a few moments later the game was finally over. The ending sequence took longer than expected, but Bash rattled the last sentence off, as soon as Mitch was pleading and coughing, "Can somebody take us out, I can't, I'm gonna-"

The recording ended.
Again Mitch had to cough, but this time it sounded so bad, that they stopped laughing immediately. Adam cared no longer about the others and before one of them could react, Adam ran out of his room and down the hall to Mitch.

!Attention!
I began to write another TeamCrafted fanfiction (Skyenja as well). 'Lovers of Freedom' is about:
Microsoft bought Minecraft. It could be the end for the Youtubers. But then a sudden phone call brings the solution: Continue your work for Microsoft. Adam, still hurt due to his break up, sees an end to his misery, but there is one condition: Reunify Team Crafted.

Also:
The recording is based on a real episode of Hide and Seek. You can't copy the link on this side, so I'll give you the title if you want to check it out: HILARIOUS Minecraft: HIDE & SEEK 9 Mini-Game w/Mitch & Friends - MLG STAND! You can find the video on Mitch's side. =)
