Chapter One ~ Michael arrives
Brief A/N:
Hey guys, welcome to my story! So I've kinda got this story all planned out already, hehehe...
Anyway, for the sake of the story, Gavin doesn't live with the Ramseys, and also, Michael joins AH after Gavin and Ray, even though in real life he joined before them both. Also, no Jeremy! Why is Lil' J never in Mavin fics or any other fics that aren't his ship. I'm crying :,(
Sorry for this inaccuracy, but I'm a lazy slacker. Anyways, enough of my babbling, onward with the chappie! *cue dramatic music*

Gavin's POV
I woke to the sound of my black alarm clock beeping on my nightstand, the green numbers glowing bright in the darkness of the room and telling me that it was 9:34 am. I rolled over to slap the snooze button, and I switched on my bedside light. I rubbed my eyes, adjusting them to the sudden brightness and stretched before reluctantly getting out of bed and sloping over to the bathroom. I shut the door, turning on the shower and dropped my boxers, and since I had nothing else on, I stepped in. The water was hot and burnt my back a little, but I soon got used to the temperature. I picked up the bottle of shampoo, and squished a bit of it onto my hands and with it I washed my hair, the foam from the shampoo running down my back and sliding off my feet into the water. It reminded me of when I was little, in the bath, surrounded by foamy heaps of bubbles that smelled like flowers, my mother singing gently at the side of the tub. Life was nice back then.
Before the problems started.
Before my stepdad arrived...
Before my life turned to shit.
My mind drifted off into my memories; I remembered my horrible stepfather's cold hands touching where no one else dared to touch, his hot, alcohol-scented breath on my skin, making me gag. The sound of the duct tape ripping and the squeak of the mattress as I was thrown onto the bed, bound and gagged. "Good boy, Gavin. Such a good little boy for daddy..."
I snapped back to reality and realised that I had begun to silently cry, my hot tears mingling with the water from the shower and the bubbles from my shampoo, sliding down my body and swirling down the drain. I shook my head, cursing myself for having such a bad start to the day, and I got out, wrapping a towel around my waist after drying my hair and face with it. I then wandered into the kitchen, grabbing a piece of cold toast off the counter that must have been left there from yesterday. I picked it up and inspected it, and it seemed okay so I bit into it. I munched absent-mindedly on the slice for a moment and then the toast was gone. I walked into my bedroom and began to grab some clothes to wear to work.
Work.
The new Achievement Hunter.
"Bollocks!"
I cried out as I realised that I didn't have as much time as I'd hoped, because I promised Geoff I would go in early to set the new desk up. I threw on an Achievement Hunter top, some black jeans and a grey hoodie. I put on socks and my blue converse. I swiped my keys, wallet and phone off the table, and, excited but somewhat worried, I ran out the door, slamming it behind me.
When I arrived at work, I couldn't see Geoff's car. Good, at least I'm not too late for Geoff to get mad, even if I have missed the newbie after all. I walk down the corridor to the AH office, opening the door and saying "Sup guys."
"Morning Gavin," There was Jack, laughing as Ray unplugged Ryan's equipment.
"What's hap'nin, Gav?" Ray said from somewhere under Ryan's desk, his voice slightly muffled.
"Hey," Ryan, a red face and a furious expression as he tried to plug things back in.
"Late again, Gavin?" That was Geoff, sitting on the- Geoff?? What was he doing here? His car...
"Sorry, boss," I giggled. He knew I was never being serious if I called him boss. There was no sign of the new Achievement Hunter anywhere yet, so I went and started setting up the monitor on the desk next to mine.
"So, Geoffrey, how did you get here? I didn't see your car in the car park..." I asked Geoff.
"Oh, Griffon had to drive somewhere and RoosterTeeth happened to be on the way, so I thought what would be the harm in using one car instead of two?"
"Nice, but how are you gonna get home, you donut," I laughed.
"Oh, balls; didn't think that far ahead," he muttered, to laughter from the others including myself, and I resumed my setting up of the new desk.
Michael's POV
I parked my car in what seemed to be the only available space left in the car park. I was so fucking excited that on the way here, I got a speeding fine because I couldn't wait to get here; I'd wanted this since five years ago, and now my dream was finally coming true. Okay Michael, stay calm. You don't want to fuck up your first day here. I told myself as I locked my car and started walking to the lobby.
"Hi, you must be Michael! Welcome to RoosterTeeth!" A woman with blonde hair was sitting in the lobby looking at me.
"Thanks, that's me," I replied. "Uh, could you help me find the Achievement Hunter office?"
"Sure, follow me," she stood up and started to walk down a corridor, me walking with her.
"So, you must be pretty excited, huh? I remember my first day here, and I got a speeding ticket on the way because I was so excited that I drove too fast,"
"Funnily enough, I did the exact same thing on the way here today," I told her, and she laughed.
"Well, What are the chances, eh? Oh, here we are," she gestured to a black door to our right, and started to walk back to the lobby.
"Come find me if you need anything else, just ask for Barbara Dunkleman and people should point you in the right direction,"
"Cheers, Barbara!" I called back, and I opened the door.
Simultaneously, all heads in the room turned to me. Geoff stood up and came over to introduce me.
"Alright, guys, this is Michael," he said to everyone, and they all replied with similar answers of 'hello'.
"Michael, this is Jack, Ryan, Ray, and-" A sudden flashback hit me when I looked at the last man.
"Wow, you've got a hell of a story, mister...?"
"Gavin, call me Gavin,"
"Gavin," I whispered in awe.
"Mhm, that's me!" He said, nodding.
"Wait,what ? You guys know each other?" The younger man with black hair and glasses said; Ray was his name.
"Yeah," Gavin explained. "We met in the park when my dog ran off and followed him,"
"But that was nearly five years ago, I didn't think you'd remember me..." I said to Gavin, still in awe.
"Oh, I remembered you, alright. I spent ages thinking about you. Then I realised that you never did tell me your name..."
"Well what are the fucking odds of that?!" Jack said, incredulous.
"I know right?! So, uh, where's my desk?" I asked him.
"It's right over there, next to Gavin's," he smiled at me.
"Thanks," I went over to the desk next to Gavin's and put my bag on top of it, after hanging my jacket on the back of the chair.
"You know, I went back to that park every day just to see if you would be there. You never were. Some part of me was really hoping I'd get to see you again, Gav. From what you told me, it sounds like you have a pretty interesting backstory," I said to Gavin, making him blush and smile.
"Aww, Micoo-"
"aWw, MIcoo!" Jack interrupted, trying to mimic Gavin's accent and making everyone laugh.
"Fuck you," he replied.
Up until lunchtime, it pretty much went like that; The others took the mickey out of Gavin's- extremely attractive, might I add- accent, we all chatted about some shit or other, and Ray must have said YOLO at least three times.
Soon enough, we all started to break up for lunch, which I was very much looking forward to as I hadn't had any breakfast that morning.
"Hey, listen up," Geoff said before we all left the office. "How would you guys like to go on a little trip?"
"You sound like a rapist, Geoffrey," Ryan smirked, earning an eye roll and an offended "I'm the rapist?? Look who's talking," from Geoff.
"Why would we be going on a trip?" I asked him suspiciously.
"To celebrate you joining, dumbass!"
"Oh,"
"So, who's up for it?"
"Well you haven't told us where it is yet," Jack replied.
"Oh, right, it's uh... hold on," Geoff took his phone out to, I presumed, check where it was.
"Aha! Here it is. Okay, so... blah blah blah, turn left at the roun- oh, I don't need this shit! Basically, it's a big cabin in the forest somewhere,"
"Geoff now you really do sound like a pedo," Ray laughed.
"Oh, shut up," Geoff smacked the back of Ray's head, who was still laughing.
"Well, I'm only up for it if more than one other person is going, cause I think just me and Geoff would be a little strange," I said.
"I'm going too!" Gavin piped up.
"I think you, Geoff and Gavin would be even stranger," Jack joked, "So I guess I'll help you out with that, I'm in."
"Rye? R&R connection?" Ray asked, nudging the blonde.
"Yeah,"
"Alright, we're in too,"
"Well that's good, cause I'd already booked the place for 6 and you would have had to go anyway!" Geoff laughed, to groans from the others.
"Is it haunted?" Gavin asked, looking genuinely worried.
"No, it's not haunted, Gavin, calm your tits," Geoff replied, rolling his eyes. Gavin made an offended face and placed his hands on his chest, pretending to hold his imaginary breasts and making everyone giggle.
"Even if it was haunted, you would have Mogar here to protect you, buddy," I told him, smiling and putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Who's Mogar?"
"It's what my sister used to call me when we were little," I explained, smiling more at the memory.
"Aww, Micoo,"
"He's doing it again!" Jack said, "The 'aww Micoo' thing!"
"What? I think it's cute," I said.
"GAYYYY" Ray hooted, making the other men laugh.
"Come on man, I'm straight as a line,"
"A squiggly line," he gasped though his laughing.
"Oh, fuck you," I slapped the back of his head, giggling.
"So when is this pedo trip?" Ryan asked Geoff.
"Well, seeing as today is Wednesday, I thought I'd give you a day off tomorrow to pack, and then we'd stay there Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sound okay?"
"Sounds top,"
"Yeh,"
"Sounds good,"
"I mean YOLO, right?" (This was followed by another slap to the back of Ray's head)
"What has the mad king got himself into? Alright,"
A/N: see if you can guess who said what :p
So, first chappie up! I have to admit it's a bit rubbish, but I'll try and make it better as the story goes on. 1893 words, not too shabby! Please tell me what you think, and tell me if there's anything you'd like me to include, or anything that could make it better in the future! Here are the stats for ya:
Word count (excluding A/N) : 1893
Word count (including A/N) : 2001 (!!)
Ray's slap count: 3
Gavin's 'aww micoo' count: 2
