Bottled Up [56]
[A/N] - I know this is probably a pretty late time to say this, but even though there are events that kind of follow along with things that have happened in the real world, this fanfiction's timeline isn't necessarily completely the same. Just putting that out there so people don't get confused.
****
It was October! The month of spooks! Or, spooptober, as Jack seemed to like to call it. He had been waiting for this month all year, as he really just loved getting in the spirit of Halloween. Especially last year, that was a fun and amazing Halloween.
Basically, what Jack had done, (with the help of his editor, Robin) Jack had decided to spend an entire month, trying to hype up his fans by playing out a fanmade character, who went by the name of Antisepticeye. It was so much fun! And Jack had thought about whether or not he had wanted to bring him back. But looking around on his Tumblr and Twitter, it seemed people were really hoping to see another Anti appearance this year. So, he decided he was going to give the fans what they wanted, trying to plan a month of more awesome stuff with Robin over Skype.
Honestly, Jack wanted to ask Mark if he wanted to join in with him this year. To do a thing on his channel where he had some Darkiplier moments, while he did Antisepticeye. However, since Matt and Ryan had moved out, Jack and Mark hadn't really been talking all that much.
Not to say that there was a problem between them, because right now, there wasn't. It's just Mark was still acting quite moody and bitter about it, seeming to still believe it was Matt and Ryan who had the problem, rather than himself. Which Jack believed was quite a childish thought to have. But he couldn't do a lot to really change Mark's mind. He was just going to have to realize it on his own.
Anyway, Jack was just finishing up a Skype chat with Robin, talking about what they should do for the next month. And just as Jack hung up, he heard a knock at the door, which was pretty good timing. Guessing that Mark wasn't going to be the one to answer it as he was currently recording videos in his room, Jack got out of his seat to go answer the front door. Opening it, he was greeted by a very familiar face, one that he hadn't seen in god knows how long.
"Oh my god! Signe! Hey!" Jack chimed, as they happily shared a hug. He was actually so happy to see her, as it had been so long since they had last spoken.
"Hey Jack! How have you been?" She questioned, getting a small nod from Jack.
"I've been good I guess. Just the usual." Jack shrugged, then looking over her shoulder to see a guy walking up after her. She turned to look, beaming when she saw him.
"Oh, by the way, this is my boyfriend I told you about. He came too as we just wanted to drop by L.A. We're thinking of coming to live here maybe."
"You are?" Jack gasped, getting a nod from both of them. Jack glanced at the man, giving him a kind smile and holding out his hand for him to shake it. "It's nice to finally meet you, I'm Jack."
"I'm Michael, it's nice to meet you too! Signe actually told me about you. So, you're Jacksepticeye huh? I heard about you but I never thought of watching your channel." He admitted.
"Yup, that's me." Jack said. "Why don't you two come in. You want anything to drink?"
"I'm fine." Signe said.
"Yeah, me too." Michael agreed.
"Well, okay."
"Where's Mark anyway?" Signe wondered. Jack frowned.
"Him? He's just in his computer room... Sulking I guess over some things that happened..."
"Sulking in my room?" A voice from behind him spoke, making him freeze in place and the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. Signe rose her eyebrows at Jack, giving him a nervous smile as Jack slowly turned around to see the red headed American, standing with his arms crossed, pouting. Jack managed a nervous chuckle.
"H-Hey, Mark... Uh, finished recordin' did ya?"
Mark rolled his eyes, staying where he was standing.
"Jack, I heard what you said, you don't have to act all weird, pretending like you didn't say it." Mark mumbled, glancing over to Signe and her boyfriend. "Oh, hi Signe... And...?"
"Uh, Michael..." Michael said, awkwardly clearing his throat as the room once again fell into a weird silence.
"So... What you doing here in L.A?" Mark wondered, seeming genuinely curious from where he was standing.
"We were thinking of moving here, together, actually." Signe answered, taking a hold of her boyfriend's hand who she then grinned lovingly at.
"Oh... Right..."
"And well, we wanted to pay you guys a visit. We might go to see Amy too." Signe said. "Unless you guys wanna tag along and we could all hang out? Maybe get something to eat? After all, it's been awhile since we've all hung out, Michael being the new one here. And.. I guess I miss that. So, what do you guys think?"
Jack and Mark looked at each other. Jack seemed to be pretty happy with that idea, having them all hang out in a group again, just like old times. Mark seemed to have a look in his eyes, a look that said he was debating whether or not that was a good decision. But, after a long silence he just seemed to shrug his shoulders and agree.
"I guess we could do that. After all, it's been awhile since I've really had any actual fun, so..."
"Cool! What about you, Jack?"
"Yeah, 'course!" Jack replied, the sound of enthusiasm in his voice. Signe beamed, happy that they were all going to be spending some time together.
They all had to wait for Mark to get ready, to properly sort out his hair and put his shoes on. Jack was ready within a matter of time, also slipping his glasses on his face before going to put on his black coat and black and white beanie. When they were all ready, they set off to go to Amy's house, which wasn't too much of a walk away.
It was weird, Signe and Michael spoke all the while, while Jack and Mark just seemed to be walking behind them, silently. Jack hated it, the lack of communication between them these past couple of days. But ever since that argument Mark had with Matt and Ryan, he's been doing that damn annoying thing where he just keeps things to himself, not wanting to tell anyone. And it really, really bothered him.
