"I'm sorry, I need to get this, nice talking to you though!" and almost sprint away from him

I'm so gonna murder Clay.

"Stop laughing at me I didn't mean to call him Nick" I tell Clay

"He really called you out like that" he says still laughing

"And I am his friend too like what" I say

"Oh so y'all are friends" he questions and I blush a little

"Yeah I like him better than you" I say

He grabs his heart as if he was hurt and lets out an 'ouch'

"Yeah, there's something about him playing minecraft that just" I drift off

"That just?" Clay pushes, clearly understanding the meaning behind it

Feeling bold, I walk up to him and grab him by the collar. I get up to his ear and whisper "Excite me" When I look back at him, I can see him get a little flushed

I giggled and walked away from him. As I do so, I can hear him say

"You are going to be the death of me"

I don't know where I'm going with all of this flirting. I do find him attractive it's just that I don't know if i'm relationship material.

Why am I thinking about a relationship I don't even think he likes me like that.

"So, any plans on where we are going?" I ask once Clay gets into the car

"I was thinking about the park?" he says "I really wanted to go to the beach but it's a long ass drive"

"I like the park, it's nice..." I say "We could go some other day to the beach, Angel could come along and maybe... Nick and George?" I continue

"I don't know about George, he's in Britain... But Sapnap could totally come" Clay says

The rest of the drive is silent and pretty short since we were already close to the park.

Clay plops down on the floor next to me and lays out everything we got.

"Is it hard being a youtuber?" I ask while readjusting myself on the ground so that I can look at him better

"Well, there's two answers to that" he begins

"See, people would think being a youtuber doesn't require much effort since you just sit around and do social media. And in some way it's true, I literally make a living out of playing a videogame" he stops for a second

"But, you need to be creative, constantly coming out with new ideas, you need time to edit, interact with people so you know what they want. Not to mention deal with being in the public eye" he turns to look at me "Do you know how much shit I get on twitter?" I shake my head.

"I got my address leaked a couple of times, my phone number too" he says

"So why continue? You just play minecraft and get doxxed because of it" I genuinely ask

"If I received even one hate comment I'd deactivate every account I own" I say, I really can't take criticism very well.

"Oh I used to say the same thing, but you get used to it. Plus, I made many friendships and met amazing people, so I think it was worth it"

"So that's why you are faceless" I say while opening a pack of chips

"Huh?" he says in confusion

"Why you don't show your face on your videos" I specify

"Oh right" he chuckles "I don't know, maybe. At first I didn't really think about it and didn't care enough to show it" he stops for a moment "And then once I got big people got more curious and it kind of adds to the clout" I nod.

"Do you plan on showing it at some point?" I ask while eating a chip

"I mean it's inevitable, people are going to find out, so i'm guessing that at some point I will" he looks back at me "Especially if I have a brunette running around wearing my merch calling Sapnap Nick" he jokes

"What's next? saying you watch Clay?" he laughs

"Oh please you gave me the hoodie" I laugh lightly pushing him "And I'll start calling him Sapnap" I say

"I know I did" he says "You can keep it, I have a bunch of those, after all I make them"

"Ok" I say looking down and putting my hands inside of the little pocket in front "I appreciate it"

"And why did you pick business" he asks "As a major" he clarifies. Wow, he remembered again.

"I don't know actually, I always felt like I needed to go to college but I didn't know exactly what to do" I say

"Business just seemed right, I could set up my own business or maybe work in one? I'm not sure yet" I finish

"Right, I'm guessing if it weren't for youtube I'd be majoring in computer science or something of the sort" he says

"But don't you need a high school title for tha-" I immediately get cut off "Shhhh, we don't talk about that"

I burst out laughing and drift off, consumed by thoughts.

"What are you thinking about in that little head of yours" Clay says putting a hand on my back and slowly rubbing it, I instinctively lean on him.

"Nothing really, just life" I say, and I hear him hum.

We spend the rest of the afternoon like that, laying on top of each other looking at the sky talking pretty much about nonsense, just enjoying each other's company.
