"You guys convinced me,"

"You mean to…to go to—"

"E3," Jon finished, "yeah, and stop stuttering! I'm not the fucking Pope!" They both laughed, "But seriously, I decided it was time."

"Well, I'm glad to hear that," Evan grinned, "I've been waiting for this day forever!"–he paused, shoving his hands in his pockets—"Why the hell are you walking down here, though?"

Jonathan did the same and glanced around, as if still suspecting someone was watching or snapping photos, "Cartoonz told me there was a place down here where I could find a mask. I may be going to E3 but that doesn't mean I'm showing my face," he smiled, "you guys weren't supposed to see either." The last words came out quieter, and Jon looked down.

Evan heart jumped slightly, "Soooo…I'm a lucky?"

Delirious looked back up, laughing, "Yep, one seriously lucky bastard."

"Whelp, I do know that Toonz don't know shit. I got an idea on wear you could find a mask like that, hockey, right?"

"Yeah, and thanks, Vanoss."

"Hey, no prob dude." Evan smiled and began walking down the sidewalk once more, Jon following close behind before picking up his pace to walk beside his friend, trying to hide behind Vanoss from the rest of the world. At this, Evan raised a brow and grinned. If Jonathan wanted to be shy and hide from everyone that was fine with him, he just found it completely adorable.

Jon craned his neck to look around the corner, "This one, Evan."

At the sound of his real name, Vanoss quickly turned to meet Jonathan's smile, "That one?"

"Yep. What'd ya got there?

Evan realized Delirious was vlogging, which seriously shocked him. 1; Jon NEVER vlogged. 2; He was doing this with Evan, in a public shop, where someone could either get a photo or he could blow everything by catching himself on one of the many mirrors or glass.

"Just this jacket and a new phone case,"

"Veeeeeery nice, well there's a mirror here, why not try it on?" Delirious held out the camera so he could get a shot of the mirror and Evan's reflection without showing himself. Evan slipped on the jacket and posed fabulously in the mirror as Jon laughed.

"Looks great, I like it," Vanoss grinned, pulling the jacket off again and folding it up, "I just may wear this to E3," he pointed at the camera, "make sure you're there, guys. But most likely by the time you see this it will be past that point."

Jonathan giggled, "Yep, just to make sure we don't spoil the surprise for the other guys, and all of you!"

"Here, I'll pay for it," Evan took the mask, and smiled at Jon's surprised reaction.

"Really?"

"Yeah, of course dude."

Jonathan stayed quiet for a bit, smiling warmly. He quickly tried to change the subject, "You know the clerk over there has been checking us out the whole time."

Evan turned around, and immediately saw what Delirious was talking about. The lady standing at the desk was watching them with a smile. For some reason, Vanoss wanted to test something. He began wandering towards the opposite side of the shop. The clerk glanced between them, before something set Evan off. Did she just… he thought, WINK AT HIM?

Though Jonathan barely seemed to notice—busy with vlogging the shop—Evan saw the gesture clear as day, and he began to boil up. Why was he so pissed off? Annoyed and jealous?

He walked over to the counter, just wanting to get out of there; with Jon following right beside him. "Hi," the lady smiled. Evan forced a smile back, "Hello," he set the items on the counter and she started to check them.

"You and your friend live here?"

"I do, he's a visitor from North Carolina."

"Ah, I see," she searched for the tag on the jacket, "do you guys do blogging or YouTube or something?"

Evan turned his head to see Jonathan holding up the camera, grinning and talking with his viewers who would soon be watching. Evan smiled and looked back at the clerk, "We're YouTubers. The mask is for a convention."

"Oh, how fun," she returned the smile, "this all for you today?"

"Yes."

"Well, that will be $21.79. So, what are your names? I'm Jennifer."

"I'm Evan, nice to meet you. His name is Jonathan."

"Huh, I like both of those, they sound hot," she grinned and folded up the jacket, placing it in the plastic bag along with the phone case and mask, "your lovers must be lucky."

"Actually, we're both single,"

"And I'm guessiiiing…?"

"Probably not looking to mingle? Yep." Evan smiled, receiving one from Jennifer.

"Aw, well that's too bad. Receipt?"

"Yes, please,"

She handed him the slip of paper and the bag, "Now you two boys stay safe out there, thank you for shopping and don't forget to come again!"

"Thank you," Vanoss took the bag with a grin and rejoined Jonathan by the entrance of the shop.

"Got everything?" Delirious asked, waiting for an answer before he put away the camera.

"Yep, got it," Evan nodded and Jon set away the vlog for now, "but you might not want to wear the mask right now, in this place you can get tackled or arrested."

Jon giggled his signature laugh, "Yeah, but thanks a lot, Evan. Are you gonna be treating me like royalty throughout my whole trip?"

"Hell yeah!"

"Well then you may go broke!"

They both continued their walk, laughing and cracking smart-ass jokes, enjoying the bond between them.
