Para este pedido eu usei este vídeo do MrBeast como inspiração.
___
Y/n met Sean at a gaming convention and they just clicked. It was quick for them to become best friends and as they lived far apart their friendship progressed mainly in online games. One day Sean told Y/n he was going to take part in his brother's stream and sent her the link to watch. She had a lot of fun and thought he was cute, so from then on she started following Karl's streams. Did Sean know about it? No. But she didn't have to tell him everything either.
She met Karl in person when she went to a college near Sean's parents' house. Even though she had a rented apartment, Sean complained that she had to pay rent to his parents because she spent so much time there. Spending so much time there, she ended up meeting Karl, who at first was very confused as to why a complete stranger was sitting on the sofa at his parents' house watching a soap opera with his mother. A very beautiful stranger, but he put that part aside.
His mother explained that she was a friend of Sean's and introduced them by inviting him to watch the soap opera with them. Unsure of what to do and bearing in mind that he had gone to visit his parents, he decided to join them on the sofa.
Although there was silence for a while, a comment from his mother was enough to make Y/n also comment again and laugh at the events of the soap opera. Karl laughed and eventually started commenting too. When Sean went downstairs to check if the soap had finished and saw the three of them on the sofa, he couldn't help but laugh at their enthusiasm.
That was the first of many times that Y/n and Karl met and somewhere in between Y/n developed a huge crush on Karl. She had followed his streams before, but now it seemed different and she realized this when she caught herself grinning like an idiot while watching one of his streams. Sean would kill her if he found out. But it was just a silly crush, right? Right?
"My brother took part in one of the videos with Mr. Beast, I was going to watch it, do you want to watch it with me?"
"Sure" Y/n replied, trying to look indifferent, but it was halfway through the video that a particular scene made them both comment simultaneously and Y/n flinched "Omg he looks so-" "How cute!"
"What?" Sean asks in shock at what he's just heard.
"Huh?" She fumbles trying to disguise it, but unfortunately for her Sean heard clearly.
"You said my brother was cute"
"Did I?"
"Yes!"
"It happens" She says and Sean decides to let it go, perhaps because he didn't want to hear that his best friend had a crush on his brother. And just as well, because Y/n didn't want to admit it at all.
___
Y/n was lying on the sofa at her parents' house watching TV when Karl came in and was confused to see her alone.
"Hey" He greets smiling at the sight of her.
"Hi" She greets back.
"My mom?" he asks confused.
"It's Friday, there's no soap today, there's 'Alone' on, she doesn't like this one very much" She explains as she sits down, she didn't expect Karl to come today, he never used to come on Fridays.
"No, don't worry about it" He says as he sits down. He pats his lap signaling her to spread her legs again, this time over his lap. A little nervously, she stretches her legs over his lap and tries to remain calm.
For a while they both watch the program in silence until Karl laughs and makes a comment. She laughs at his comment and makes another. Suddenly they are both commenting hotly on the program and laughing a lot.
After that, every Friday Karl would go to his parents' house to watch the show with her and before they knew it, it had become their thing.
"Is it okay if I give you my number?" Karl asks one night before she leaves.
"Your number?" She asks in surprise, but tries to remain calm.
"Next week I'll be out shooting a video with Jimmy, so we could arrange it and maybe watch the episode together by video call or discord."
Y/n blushed at the thought of him wanting to keep in touch. "Here," she said, handing him her cell phone so he could put in his number.
For two days she struggled with what to say to him. Since he had put the number in her phone, she was the one who had to send the first message. Scrolling through her Instagram feed, she saw a meme related to the show and immediately sent it to Karl before he realized it was the first message. Fortunately, Karl immediately realized it was her and replied in a funny way. The two start chatting daily, from exchanging memes to simply asking what the other is doing.
One day when Karl sees her online on discord he simply initiates a call. When he answers, she asks what's going on and he says he just saw her online and thought maybe they could play something. It was the way she blushed and her heart raced to the point where she feared her microphone would pick up the sound that made her realize that the silly crush was definitely over.
Perhaps she should have realized this beforehand because it had been two years since she had admitted her crush and the feeling of butterflies in her stomach when he talks to her had only increased over time? Probably.
Despite this, he never invited her to play with Jimmy and the others, unbeknownst to her he did this to try not to make his passion obvious and instead repeatedly refused their invitations to stay and play with her.
___
Sean and Y/N were watching one of Mr. Beast's latest videos featuring Karl when he couldn't stand her passionate smile at the sight of Karl.
"Ok that's disgusting, you're literally drooling on my brother"
"What? I'm not!" She tries to defend herself.
"I'd hoped that three years ago you'd be over it," he declares simply. It was true, at the time Sean realized that Y/n liked or at least had a crush on Karl, but he didn't want to risk them getting hurt and things getting weird. He thought that if it was something small Y/n would be able to get over it, but apparently he was wrong and couldn't ignore it any longer. He knew Y/n, she wouldn't spend so much time on a mere crush, honestly he hadn't even seen her date anyone since he met Karl.
Then he realized that time she'd slipped up and said he was cute…. Y/n thought.
"Oh look it's now" Y/n points out trying to change the direction of the conversation.
"Now?"
"Yes, she's going to trip, but thanks to that she finds the box, that's the best part, no one expected it" She explains without realizing that Sean is silent.
"How do you know that?"
"Oh… well… Karl sent me the video when they finished editing it so I could give my opinion" she pauses, trying to gauge Sean's reaction, "But I promised to watch it when it came out on the channel!"
"What? He didn't send it to me!" Sean protests.
Y/n tries to disguise the smile that appears. She knows it's stupid, but for her to know that Karl sent her the video and didn't send it to other people or at least his brother was a small victory in her game of feeling important to Karl.
___
"Did you send him the last video?" Sean asks Karl.
"Did she tell you?" He says obviously not expecting him to know.
"She slipped up" He stops to watch his brother open the bottle and drink the water to cover up "It would be easier for everyone if you just asked her out"
Karl chokes and is about to defend himself when his cell phone rings with a message. Picking it up to check, a silly grin appears when he sees it's from Y/n.
"You deserve each other" Sean says in exasperation as he gets up and leaves the room.
"Wait, what?" Karl asks, but Sean ignores him.
He definitely couldn't ignore these two any longer and apparently they weren't going to move so he'd have to think of something himself.
___
"Impossible mode?" Sean asks Y/n.
"Yes, although I might call it almost impossible because technically it's possible to pass"
"How much of it have you got so far?"
"Just those first 10 levels of chapter 1, the tutorial basically" Y/n pauses, "But honestly I don't know if it's worth continuing to develop it, the game is basically quite simple, the only thing different about it is the insane difficulty levels. I don't think it's something people will like"
"Maybe I can help" Sean says, picking up his cell phone and starting to type.
___
"Today we're going to play the hardest game in the world!" Jimmy declares as the video begins.
The camera changes and Y/n and Sean appear in the shot as Jimmy approaches them. "We're here with S/n, Karl's brother's best friend and also the developer of this game. Do you have anything you can tell us about the game?"
"Initially it was a simple game I made for college, but when I was told it was easy I started adding more difficulties and I'm currently working on a mode that I consider almost impossible to pass."
"That's the one we're going to play today, right?"
"Yes, so far I've only developed this difficulty for the first 10 levels which are the tutorial for the normal difficulty"
"Okay then, let's make it a challenge and try to finish those 10 levels"
When Jimmy, Karl, Chandler and Chris start the first level Karl comments "Ok this doesn't look that bad"
"It doesn't, does it?" Jimmy asks and everyone agrees "That's why for the challenge we're going to try to pass all 10 levels in 30 minutes and whoever doesn't make it will have to take part in the challenge in my next video, to spend 24 hours in a pool full of slime" he announces, causing everyone to protest.
"Don't you like the punishment Karl?" Jimmy asks.
"No!"
"Ok then Karl, just for you, I have another chance. Would you like to switch?"
"I'm afraid of what it might be, especially since only I have that option, but…I don't want to spend 24 hours in slime so…okay"
"Great! Karl, if you can't get to level 10 in 30 minutes, you'll have to call your crush of two years and propose to her!" Jimmy announces excitedly.
"WHAT?" Karl shouts in shock.
"And there's no point in lying because Sean knows and he told me exactly who it is."
Karl looks over to where Sean is quite smiling right next to Y/n before looking at Jimmy again.
"Jimmy, I've changed my mind, I really want to take part in the slime video"
"You want to?"
"Yeah"
"Ok great then you're in!" Karl breathes a sigh of relief before Jimmy speaks again, "But you still have to call him if you lose"
"NO" Karl shouts realizing that he has made the situation even worse.
"Okay, time's up," Jimmy says, not giving Karl a chance to continue protesting.
Karl wastes no time and tries to focus fully on the game without letting on how desperate he was. He doesn't want Y/n to find out, it was already embarrassing that he liked his brother's best friend and he knew.
"Oh and Y/n and Sean you two feel free to walk around us watching and commenting since you both already know the game"
Y/n is very anxious and at the same time nervous, she never knew Karl had a crush, let alone one that has lasted two years. They've known each other for two years, right? What are the chances?
"Maybe it would help if I jumped," Karl comments when S/n approaches him and he misses the third block of the first level, making her laugh.
Sean laughs when Karl misses the same block 3 more times due to having S/n next to him and gets a death glare from his brother.
"Okay I did it!" He announces as he passes level 1.
"Wait, how did the thorns hit me?" Jimmy asks as he realizes he's dead.
"They'll come after you if you stand still for too long," Y/n explains.
"Okay, but-" Karl starts when the thorns from level 1 appear at the start of level 2 and kill him "Y/n!" He protests and she laughs.
"I told you it was hard" Y/n says "Feel free to complain, I'm fully aware that it's extremely annoying"
"Thank you!" They all say simultaneously.
Y/n circulates a bit among them, but spends most of the time with Karl while Sean is more with Jimmy, Chandler and Chris.
"Y/n why is there so much space between the keys?" Chris asks exasperated.
"It's part of the difficulty, they're not like that on the other difficulties"
"Y/n how do I pass this?" Karl asks on level 6.
"Well-"
"Y/n you can't help! You're the creator" Jimmy says.
"Sorry Karl" Y/n says, laughing at his pout.
Although she wants to motivate him, without realizing it she's only making him more nervous.
"Wait" Chandler says "Wasn't this supposed to be the tutorial?"
"Yep" Y/n and Sean answer at the same time.
Without Karl realizing it during the video, he ends up constantly flirting with Y/N in an attempt to get the solution to the levels.
"Wait, I've made it to 8! I'm almost there!" Karl exclaims. Maybe he'll make it.
"Okay, I give up," Jimmy says.
"At least I'm not going to the slime pool alone anymore," Karl comments a little more cheerfully.
For the rest of the time Chandler also gives up and with only 10 seconds left Karl loses right at the end of level 9. He bangs his head on the table in despair and Y/n puts her hand on his shoulder reassuringly. He looks at her, but immediately puts his head back on the table to hide his blush. He was going to have to tell her.
"Time's up! Nobody made it, right?" Jimmy announces.
Everyone reluctantly agrees.
"Okay then, the four of us are going to take part in the 24-hour challenge in the slime pool E" Jimmy pauses, moving closer to Karl "Karl, you know what you have to do"
"Yeh…." Karl says dejectedly.
"Hey" Y/n says walking next to Karl to the location of the last shoot "It's going to be okay"
Karl sighs, she wouldn't say that if she knew it was her.
Filming resumes with Karl standing next to Jimmy and Chandler, Chris, Sean and Y/n around him.
"First of all, I'd like to thank Y/n for letting us play the new difficulty of her game, although I must confess that I'll never play it again and I apologize for that"
"It's okay Jimmy, I'm grateful for the chance to show my work like this and besides the aim is to be levels that people will argue are impossible to pass"
"So now it's time Karl"
Taking a deep breath, Karl picks up his cell phone and searches for the contact before initiating the call and putting it on speaker. Everyone waits when they finally hear the ringtone, but as soon as it sounds a cell phone starts ringing and everyone looks towards the source of the sound.
Y/n is speechless when she hears her cell phone ringing. With all eyes on her, she pulls the phone out of her pocket and her mouth drops open when she sees Karl's name. Unsure of what to do, she turns the screen on her phone to show Karl's name to the camera.
"Wowww" Chandler and Chris say in stasis.
Y/n looks at Karl just in time to see him lick his lips before pressing them together in an obviously nervous thin line.
"You have to say it Karl" Jimmy encourages.
Clearing his throat and trying to ignore his nervousness he says "Y/n, I've had a crush on you for 2 years"
"Really Sean?" Jimmy asks Sean for confirmation.
"It's true Jimmy" Sean announces enthusiastically.
Jimmy walks away to end the video and Karl quickly disconnects the call and approaches Y/n. "Ok I know this sounds weird, but well…I…" Karl tries to find an excuse, but what excuse could he give when he's just revealed that he's had a crush on her for two years?
Y/n tries not to blush at how cute Karl looks as he tries to justify himself. Not wanting him to embarrass himself any further, she hugs him, hiding her face in his chest and making him shut up.
Karl is in shock, but returns the hug, wrapping one arm around Y/n's waist and with the other hand gently holding her head against him. He's in shock and everyone can see the cogs in his mind turning as he basically short-circuits. Karl didn't want to assume anything wrong. As he tries to figure out if the hug means what he hopes it means, he meets Sean's gaze who gives him a huge smile and raises both thumbs in the affirmative. He widens his eyes. He knew it, Sean knew it all along. He was going to kill him!
Sean turns to the camera which is filming the end of the video where Jimmy explains that they only did the exhibition because Sean guaranteed and presented proof that they both liked each other so there would be no broken hearts.
Before the shot ends the camera zooms in to where Karl is cradling Y/n in his arms just in time to catch him kissing the top of her head.
"You're welcome" Sean says approaching Y/n and Karl as the camera is turned off.
"Did you know?" Sean nods positively "Since when?" Karl asks, he didn't want to believe that his brother knew his crush liked him back and didn't tell him.
"She slipped up about it like three years ago"
Karl chokes "Three years?"
"Sean!" Y/n scolds, turning away from Karl. Okay, Karl had liked her for two years, but did he really have to expose that she liked him before?
Looking at Karl, he smiles at her with eyes full of love and affection. How could she not have noticed that look before? Embarrassed, she hides in Karl's chest again and he laughs, causing butterflies in Y/n's stomach with the sound of his laughter.
"Okay then, I'm going to take Y/n to dinner and see a movie and when I get back I'm going to kill you," Karl declares before taking Y/n's hand and leading her out of the studio.
Later, when I checked the comments on the video, most of them were about how cute the two of them were together, many people saying that during the video you could already see that they liked each other, some comments repeating the flirts that Karl said to her when he was trying to figure out how to get through the levels and others saying that they were waiting for the wedding. Of course, ignoring the haters.
