May: Side Job?

DAMN! APRIL WAS A LONG SET OF CHAPTERS.

Just a regular, normal day back at the apartment. Felix was eating cereal in the kitchen, Lucia was getting the milk in the fridge. They both feel like they were practically married. As Lucia placed down the cold carton of milk on the breakfast table, two knocks were heard on the door.

“I’ll get it.” Lucia was totally taking this relationship to a somewhat new feel. Why not make it like the overly-American marriage-type feel?

She happens to find two men in suits standing on her doorstep, a man wearing glasses and a man who had none but was taller than the first one. These two look VERY VERRRY familiar. Something tells her they’re on Youtube’s side again.

“How may I help you?” Lucia starts.

“We’re the Fine Brothers.” Said the one with glasses.

“Benny and Rafi Fine.” The other added as he pointed out their names to her.

“Wait… Fine Brothers… Fine Brothers… Where have I heard that before?” Lucia murmurs to herself as she taps her fingers on the doorknob.

“Perhaps you might have known us for our…” Rafi, the tall guy, who was probably the oldest started.

“React video series.” Benny, the man with glasses finished as he pushed them back up to the bridge of his nose.

Immediately, the memories of Kids React, Teens React, Elders React and the newly rising trend of their videos, Youtubers React came into Lucia’s mind. She widely opens the door for the two world-famous Youtube directors and lets them in. Usually, she would have expected a call but meeting them in person? In their apartment? That would downright make anyone clutch their hearts and kneel, begging.

“So, let’s cut to the chase..” Benny said as he took a seat on the couch.

“We want YOU and Pewdiepie to join in our online video show, Youtubers React!” Rafi continued as he sat beside his brother. “Where is Mr. Kjellberg, anyways?”

“Oh, uh. Wait just a second~” Lucia said as she snaps out of her stupor and runs to the kitchen, only to find Felix still munching on his Frosties, unaware of the glorious situation.

“Whoa, you look happy.” Felix mentions as Lucia’s smile was still plastered on her face. She placed her palms on the table to get Pewdie’s attention and gestured him to stand up and walk with her to the living room.

“Felix, you are not gonna BELIEVE who’s in our living room right now!” Lucia exclaimed as she grabs onto Felix’s arm to tug him faster.

“Oh, my God, you guys, of course we’ll take the job!” Felix says as he puts an arm around Lucia as they both sat on the couch, accepting the Fine Brothers’ offer. “When do we start?”

“Oh, um, actually, the Studio is in the States… And the next flight won’t take off until Friday, so, I guess you’ll have two days to pack.” Benny said as he looks at his brother to check if his schedule is correct.

At that same moment that Benny said ‘States’, Felix and Lucia locked eyes at each other with excited looks on their faces. It was a feeling of total bemusement with them thinking that, “What are the odds that they’re gonna go back to Lucia’s home?”

“We’ll give you a call when we’re gonna pick you up. Don’t worry. The flight’s all arranged.”

The two brothers stood up, brofisted and shook hands with their chosen ones and let themselves out the door. It was an experience they will never forget. Lucia and Felix looked at each other with eyes sparkling of ‘Updating Tweets’.

“I… don’t know about this, Lu…” Felix said as he walks away from the door, his brows scrunched up in a moment’s thought.

“What? You’re backing out now? Bro…”

“Well… I’ve been in Sweden all my life and… It’s just…”

“What about the time when I asked you to come to the States with me? You said you’d be happy to…”

“I did, didn’t I…” He chuckled to himself as he was overwhelmed by love that time.

A few seconds of ear-piercing silence went on. Lucia was unsure whether or not to break it but… I guess it’s better to let him think about it. They both want to star in the FineBros’ channel but it’s a choice of one or the other. They can still post some videos every now and then. It’s just a matter of a change in culture.

“Hah!” Felix exclaimed as he grins before explaining. “If you made it out here, then I guess I would back at your place, no?”

A wide grin started to form slowly on Lucia’s face as she realizes the feeling he’s trying to imply. Now it’s time to turn tables. He’s gonna be the tourist, she’s gonna be the know-it-all. Haha, not really.

She made her way to the soon-to-be-American-resident and wrapped her arms around her man. He hugged her back with same passion and everything felt right. He was willing to chose Lucia over his home. Hugging her back was a gesture that could explain a thousand words.

“Well, guess we’d better start packing.” Lucia mumbled as she lovingly buries her face on the wrinkles of his shirt.

~ IT’S-A-ME! A-TIME-A-SKIP!

“Got the equipment?” Felix asked as he pulls out the handle of his trolley bag.

“Yep, all in here.” Lucia replied as she taps on her backpack twice. Now they know how Alex and Lorenzo feels when packing up their ‘essentials’. “You ready, bro?”

“Oh, YEA—no, in second thought, I’ll like to take it back now.” Felix said, quicker than a cheetah. “Nah, I’m just trollin’ with you, dude.” With that, the joker kisses Lucia one quick time on the cheek, pinching it and seemingly never letting go after.

“Ow! Haha, hey!” Lucia said, trying to get away from the Swedish man’s playful banter. “Let’s just go, bro.”

Lucia turned the doorknob and opened it for Felix. She’ll rather have a head start in treating Felix like royalty since he’s gonna be in her territory now. With trolley wheels rolling and iron zippers of backpacks tinkling, they took their first step out of the apartment that made so many memories.

Weird enough, at the same time Lucia shut the door, another door sounded right beside them… That familiar room, two doors away to the left. Those two familiar bros that once sent that stolen picture of Felix vs. Finn and posted it on Facebook.

“Alec, Laiza! What a surprise!” Lucia said as she waved a hand for them to see.

Laiza waved back happily. As Alec turned to her, she immediately noticed the person Lucia’s with and made a gesture, clutching her heart and hiding her face by using Laiza as a pillar.

“Dude, what’s wrong?” Laiza asks as her friend turned from jolly to just downright sheepish.

Lucia and Felix walked closer to the two neighbors and they realized that Laiza and Alec are carrying bags as well. Really HUGE bags.

“Yo, man. Seriously, what?” Laiza persists.

“It’s him, man… It’s really him.” Alec’s voice can be heard faintly from behind her friend.

“Haha, there a problem here?” Felix finally asks, still unaware of the situation.
Lucia giggles silently to herself and whispers something softly to her boyfriend, having a hint of Alec’s current feeling.

“You have yourself a fangirl, in the flesh, O legendary Pewdiepie.”

“Oh, pfffffttt… That can be arranged…” Felix said as he waves his hand to Lucia, saying that he can handle a girl-bro. “’Sides, she has good taste in men.”

Lucia scoffed at his answer. Laiza, seeing that Felix is heading straight for her, moves away to reveal Alec’s location. Now, with Alec not finding anything to hide her blush with, could only turn around and bite her lip, revealing her red backpack to the people behind her.

“So, I heard from a VERY reliable source that you’re a bro, correct?” Felix said as he places a hand on her shoulder, making her as stiff as a board. “Well, on the contrary, this might be your lucky day, now~”

“Psh. Always the gentleman…” Lucia murmurs as she places to fingers on her forehead, shaking her head.

“You’ve got bags too. Where you heading?” Laiza asks as she might as well walk with Lucia since Felix and Alec are taking the lead.

“Oh, we’re going to the airport on the way to the States…”

“Seriously? US TOO!”

“Oh, my God, that’s great! What for?”

“Well, we’ve got two guys waiting for us there… They thought they might as well bring us along too.”

“We could sit next to each other in the flight. Look at those two… Already close.” Lucia laughs.

“Oh, yeah. Back in the Philippines, Alec won’t stop talking about Pewdie. She’s got his accent right down to the very pronunciation!”

“Haha, still considering in making a collaboration with us?” Lucia asked as the question suddenly connected to the subject.

“DO WE EVER!”

As the two pairs walk out of the building, both parties seem to get along really quick. Laughter and shouts of agreement starts to arise as they finally discovered most of their personalities deeper.

“Oh, glob! Finn totally got his butt kicked in there!” Felix says as he laughs at Alec’s joke as they walked down the stairs.

Now, with Lucia overhearing the name of the sibling who supposedly had a crush on her, listened intently to the subject. No doubt about it, they were talking about Finn.

“Felix, what are you two talking about?” Lucia said as she tapped his shoulder, interrupting Alec’s conversation. “Heard you were talking about Finn.”

“Yeah, from Adventure Time.” Alec answered, as innocent as a… Well… I was never innocent >:D

“Wait…. You’re thinking about THAT Finn, aren’t you?” Felix asked, smirking.

“What? Ugh, serious—No, NO!... Psh… I would never…” Lucia defensively replied.

Not buying Lucia’s denial, the three both looked at her, their piercing looks start to get through to her. That was until Lucia spotted something to revert the subject back to the airport.

“Hey, look! A taxi!”
