Neighbours- JackSepticEye

I sat there in my apartment, my legs stretched out on the couch. I was lazily drawing in my sketchbook, music playing quietly.


The Death of a Bachelor album by Panic! At The Disco came through my speakers, causing me to drop my sketch pencils and turn the music up. I sang along until the song changed. I then heard a male voice singing along to the song that I was listening to. Except it sounded like it was coming through the shared wall of the apartment next door.


I stopped the music and the voice continued to sing. After a while I heard him say, "Oh what the fu- Maybe they just stopped their music?" I laughed slightly and went back to my drawing, until I heard a knock on my door.


I got up and opened the door, not realising I was in sweats and my hair was a mess. On the other side of the door was a man with fading green hair. I recognised him as a YouTuber I watch, JackSepticEye. Though I moved in just a few weeks ago, I never would have thought that he was my neighbour.


"Y-yes?" I asked, trying not to seem star struck. My face flushed with embarrassment as I glanced at the kitchen clock, realising it was after noon and I was still in sweatpants. Maybe he wouldn't care. Maybe he wouldn't mention it at all. Why was he even here, anyways? To borrow some sugar or something?


"Uh..Yeah," He said, his blue eyes going from the floor to my face. "My name is Sean. I'm in the apartment next door and I was wondering if you could put your music back on? I was really enjoying listening to it while editing."


I gave him a small smile and said, "How about you come in for coffee or tea and we can listen to it? I'm going to have to kick you out in a few hours though, I have a YouTube video to film unless you want to be in it."


"Sure! Do you do gaming?" He asked, walking into my apartment and carefully shutting the door behind him. I pressed play on my phone and Panic! At The Disco came through my Bluetooth speakers again.


"Yes, I watch you, Pewdiepie and Mark a lot, and you've all kinda inspired me to start. My first play through was  Kingdom Hearts, oh it's such an amazing game. Some of my more popular play through include Final Fantasy, .Fallout 4, and Destiny. I was thinking of doing a challenge video today, though."


He nodded eagerly as I walked into the kitchen to grab cups for me and him. "I'll take coffee, and I'd love to be in your video! What kind of challenge are you planning on doing?" He asked.


I poured our cups of coffee and replied "I have no idea yet."


Jack and I drank our coffee, talking about games, YouTube, fans, hobbies, and everything in between. We decided to film a Drunken Common Knowledge Challenge.


"Okay, before we do this, let's tweet our followers asking them to send us common knowledge questions." Jack said. We both sent out the tweet and got tons of responses almost immediately.


"Okay! Time to film!" I said. It was about 4 in the evening now, and I had no problem with getting plastered this early. And apparently neither did Jack.


I brought Jack to my recording room and motioned for him to sit. My recording room was the extra room in my apartment, there was my desk and a couch in it. I moved my camera to the couch and set it up the way I wanted it. I went back into the kitchen and grabbed shot glasses and various bottles of liquor.


Once I sat down in front of my recording set up, I turned everything on and did my intro.
"Hey loves! (Y/N) here! And I have a new friend! JackSepticEye!"


"Hey everybody! I kinda just met (Y/N) today but we hit it off and now we're filming a video!" He said, giving my camera his goofy smile.


We asked each other the questions our fans tweeted us, and whenever one of us got one wrong, we took a shot. I had missed a lot and was getting close to drunk.


"Wow Jack. You're smart!" I said, giggling crazily after I did. Jack just nodded and asked me the next question and I got it wrong so I took another shot.


After a few more questions, I was plastered. "Hey Jack?" I asked in my drunken state. He looked at me and said, "yes?"


"Well I know we just officially met today but I've seen your videos for a while and I think you're really cute." I said, not thinking straight and slurring my words.


Jack blushed and said, "Okay (Y/N). Well guys, she is completely plastered so I will end the video for her! This it for now loves, see you all next week!" He did my outro correctly. Did he watch my videos?


Jack looked at me and said, "(Y/N), I think you're cute too." He kissed my forehead and got up to turn off my camera. I then blacked out.


The next day I was hung over, but I went and edited my video from the day before. I needed to post something for my viewers.


As I was editing, I found the part where I called Jack cute. "Okay I don't remember that." I said out loud. "Dammit I'm so stupid when I'm drunk." I then watched the end of the video, Jack doing my outro while I stared and giggled. Then him calling me cute and kissing my forehead. I blushed. Did that really happen? It must've. It's on my camera.


I cut out everything after Jack doing my outro and posted the video. I brought my head down to my desk. That really happened.
