Chapter 19: Guest Grumps

   It's been a few months since Dan has introduced me to his fans, and I've been on an episode of Game Grumps or two. It's been fun, farting around with Arin and Dan at the office every day. I never miss an opportunity to go.

And today is one of those days where I'm at the office, preparing to record a video with my brother, Arin Hanson, and my boyfriend, Dan Avidan.

   Arin sets up the mic that's in front of me, smiling happily. "I love it when you're on the show with us, (Y/N). You're my favorite guest to have."

   "Aww, thanks, Arin!" I smile back. "I love being here."

   Dan adjusts his mic, smiling as well. "I love you being here too." He looks at me, smiling. "And I'm gonna let you in on a little secret."

   "What is it?" I ask.

   Dan leans in and whispers in my ear, "I like having you on the show more than I liked having Weird Al."

   I gasp dramatically, having thought that nobody could surpass the legendary Alfred Yankovic in that regard.

   "What?" Arin asks, his nosy personality forbidding him to let himself not hear any of this. "What'd he say?"

"Dan told me he likes having me on the show more than he liked having Weird Al!" I answer, beaming with pride. Suck it, Weird Al.

"Same!" Arin says without hesitation. "Weird Al was great, but you flow better with the dynamic of the channel. You keep our jokes running, and all of our humors are very similar." He then looks at Dan and I and says, "All right, I'm ready when you guys are."

"I'm ready," I say, and Dan nods in agreement.

Arin then does a three-two-one count on his fingers, mouthing the number that he's at. He then starts the recording.

It's go time.

"Welcome back to Game Grumps!" Arin greets the audience, beaming at the trivial action of recording a video. It's the smallest things that make Arin happy.

"Hello!" Dan smiles as well.

"Um...today we're gonna be playing some Smash Bros. But...there's something different about this episode!" Arin says, looking at me with an even bigger smile.

"What's that, Arin?" Dan asks, also looking at me.

"We have a guest here with us today!" Arin responds. "I mean, you lovelies already know that, since you read the title and saw the intro. And you know who that guest is."

"It's (Y/N) Hanson. Stop guessing," I say into the mic.

"Yes! So, my sister and Dan's girlfriend is our guest today, and I'm gonna destroy her in Smash," Arin says confidently, a smirk on his face.

"I'm gonna shove this Wii remote up your—" I begin, but Dan cuts me off.

"It hasn't been a minute yet! We'll get demonetized!" he cries, flailing his arms in the air dramatically.

"Oh, ass. OH SH-" I begin once more, caught in a trail of curses.

"STOP!" Dan says, giving me a little shove, laughing a bit.

The shove halts my swearing. "My apologies," I say with a giggle.

"Ben, edit out this lady's foul language," Dan instructs Ben, smiling. "And also put up an embarrassing picture of (Y/N) for making you do extra work with her cursing."

"You just made him do extra work by putting up a picture of me!" I whine.

"I think Ben would love to put up the picture I have in mind," Arin giggles evilly. "He wouldn't care if it takes a bit of work."

   "Wait, is it the one where I—" I don't finish, since I'd rather not say it in front of hundreds of thousands of humans.

   However, Arin knows what I mean without me even having to continue my thought. "The one where you were seventeen and peed yourself? Yep!"

   Dan's head snaps in my direction, laughing. "How? Why?"

   "I had been holding it all day!" I whine. "Arin and I were going on a hike, and there were no bathrooms around. So by the time we got in the car, it just...came out of me!" Everyone laughs at that. "And Arin had the audacity to take a picture."

   "And to make things even better, she's crying in the picture, too," Arin states, giggling. "Ben, please show everyone that picture."

I huff in annoyance. "You two are jerks."

"We know!" Arin and Dan say in unison.

And with that, Arin gets to the screen where we choose our characters. Like last time, I choose Jigglypuff (or whatever character you chose last time) and Dan chooses Yoshi. However, Arin spices it up by going with Princess Peach. All the memories of us playing Mario together come flooding back, and I realize that it was very out of character for him to pick Kirby that one time. Peach was his girl. And I guess she still is.

Arin selects a course, smiling. "All right, Peach! Let's kick some ass!"

"She would if Jigglypuff wasn't more powerful by far," I say. "Proven by the fact that I've beaten you at least fifty times with him."

"Where's your proof of that happening?" Arin asks, sneering at me. "We weren't recording that day."

"Her proof is right here," Dan says, smiling. "It's true, all you lovelies watching this. (Y/N) has beaten Arin at this game more times than I can count."

"Who's side are you on?!" Arin splutters in disbelief.

"(Y/N)'s side," Dan answers immediately, giggling.

"Wow. You're gonna throw our eight years of friendship away for a girl? Fine then," Arin huffs. "I guess I'll just have to destroy you too."

"She's not just any girl!" Dan retorts. "She's (Y/N) Hanson! Someone who I have a proposition for." He looks at me and smirks. "And she'll find out later. All of you lovelies will too."

I hate how Dan always has to bring up something he's planning without telling me what that something is. "No! Tell us now!" I whine.

"Nope," Dan responds, shaking his head.

"Dannyyyyyy!" I groan like a toddler, nestling into his lap. My version of begging.

"No— Don't nestle into my lap, please!" He laughs, and that laugh immediately fills me up with joy.

"I know what it is," Arin smirks. Oh, come on!

I get off of Dan and look to Arin. "Arinnnnn!"

"Noooo!" Arin whines back, giggling. "You'll find out soon, okay? Let's just start our first battle."

The game starts, and the next thing you know, we're fighting.

***

We play a bunch of games (me winning all of them except for two; Arin was able to snatch victory doing those rounds), and before I know it, the episode full of Dan whispering to Arin and the both of them smirking is coming to a close.

"I think that'll be about it for today," Arin says into the mic. "Thanks for joining us, (Y/N). You really kicked my ass."

"Always happy to join you on the show as well as kick your ass." I laugh a bit.

"Goodbye, lovelies!" Dan says, waving as if the lovelies can see him.

"Bye!" Arin and I chorus in unison, and Arin ends the recording. He then gets up and dashes out of the room. Huh. I wonder why he's in such a hurry.

"Oh, (Y/N)~" Dan says from next to me.

I really don't like that tone. But I also do. I turn to face him. "What?"

Dan smirks and grabs my hands in his larger ones. "You're about to find out what my proposition is~"

My heartbeat quickens in anticipation. "Yes! What is it?"

He gives me a quick peck on the lips and says, "Your answer is in the office's living room, I guess you could call it~ I would like to take you there, if you'll allow me to~"

I nod excitedly.

Dan smiles and stands up, pulling me up with him. He then leads us to an unknown proposition.
