“And for the win—or, for second place, because Ian is in the lead by eleven points—if I could only eat one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?”

You smiled at the contestants, waiting. You were almost done filming ‘What Would (Y/n) Do?’ and Ian was smoking the other two competitors.

Spencer and Courtney sat on either side of Ian, thinking on your most recent question. Ian was already writing something down on his whiteboard.

So far, he had known almost everything about you. What your worst memory was, what item of clothing you’d want to wear if you weren’t scared to, what kind of cereal you most identified with.

You hadn’t known he remembered all of this stuff—some of it being things you’d only mentioned once or a really long time ago. You had known Ian for years. But, then again, you’d known Courtney and Spencer just as long.

“Okay,” Courtney said, “I’m ready!”

“Why don’t you start us off then,” you turned to her. “What food would I want to eat for the rest of my life?”

“I said that one thing you get from Starbucks because I see you with it every morning,” they said, flipping their board. “And then I drew you at the bottom, see?”

“Good answer,” you nodded at them. “And good artistry. Spencer?”

“I wrote pizza ‘cause your basic,” Spencer shrugged and everyone off-camera laughed. “And I think this game is bogus and rigged and also Ian cheated.”

You giggled. “Guess who’s not getting any points this round? Anyway, Ian, last but certainly not least?”

“Ok, remember back in 2017 when we went to that buffet for Keith’s birthday? You had that sandwich there that you said you’d sell your soul to eat for the first time again, so I went with that.”

“I quit,” Spencer put the cap on his pen. “Courtney, you wanna go get some lunch?”

They laughed, sharing a look.

You were too busy being shocked. You couldn’t believe he had remembered that. You hadn’t even remembered that.

“Wow Ian, I have to give you, like, 10 points for that because even I would’ve forgotten that but you’re so right!”

“Courtney,” you continued. “I’m giving you 5, because I do love Starbucks. And Spencer gets none.”

You smiled sweetly at Spencer and he flipped you off. You rolled your eyes at him.

“And that means,” you finished. “With a total of 207 points—which might be the most we’ve ever had on here—Ian wins!”

Everyone clapped and you began to do the outro, going on autopilot as you told the viewers to subscribe and click on the videos at the bottom of their screen.

When the shoot was over, everyone began to disperse, all busy with different videos to film and edit.

“Congratulations,” you told Ian. “I can’t believe you knew some of that stuff.”

“Hey, what can I say,” he shrugged, looking almost embarrassed. “I pay attention. And you’re a very interesting person.”

“I think we learned from all of the deatails here today that I’m not an interesting person,” you joked.

“Well, call me boring because I’m interested,” Ian said.

You smiled, trying your hardest not to blush. You might have had a teeny, tiny crush on Ian ever since you had begun working at Smosh.

You stayed like that for a moment, before Ian said something about having to film a video and you said your farewells.

He walked away and you turned around to find Courtney and Spencer waiting for you.

“Um, what was that?” Courtney gestured to the set.

“What was what?” You asked them.

“I think Courtney means the fact that Ian basically just wrote your biography,” Spencer added, putting his hands in his pockets.

“He knows you better than you know you!” Courtney exclaimed. They waggled their eyebrows, saying in a sing-song voice, “I think he likes you.”

“Dude’s obsessed,” Spencer piped in.

You shrugged. “What? No! We’ve known each other for a long time, that’s all.”

“I’ve known you for a long time, and I wouldn’t have known that the item you wish you hadn’t gotten rid of was the necklace you wore to VidCon in 2018,” Courtney put their hands on their hips.

Okay, so they had a fair point. How did Ian remember all of this stuff about you? You refused to believe it was because he had feelings for you. Both Court and Spencer knew about your long-time crush on Ian, and they were probably just being nice.

“He’s our boss, remember? He has to know his employees well,” you defended.

“(Y/n), he didn’t know my first name was Charles until like last week,” Spencer said. “And yet he knows what you almost called the fish you won in second grade—which, by the way, Rover? That’s a dog name and I think Kevin is much better.”

“Spencer’s right, my guy,” Courtney patted your shoulder. “Not about the fish thing—but Ian does, in fact, have a good, old-fashioned crush on you.”

“This is ridiculous,” you said. “Just because I like him, doesn’t mean he likes me. And after one video of him knowing some facts about me, you think you have it all figured out?”

“Oh it’s not just this video,” Courtney said. “You think Ian leaves little notes on all of our desks? Do you think he gets all of us coffee every day? Do you think he smiles that big when all of any of us enter a room?”

You opened your mouth to speak, but stopped. You kind of had thought he did all of those things for everyone. You just thought he was a nice person—it was part of what attracted you to him—but you didn’t equate it to him thinking you were anything all that special.

“And you guys are sure?” Was all you said.

Courtney smiled knowingly. “Yes. It’s honestly adorable. Trust me, from our perspective, Ian totally has it bad for you.”

“That or he cheats at games, which we still haven’t completely ruled out,” Spencer teased.

Could all of this really be true? You tried to think back on all of your previous interactions with Ian. He had always been kind to you, interested in what you had to say, complimentary and supportive. In truth, you had mostly been blinded by your own attraction to Ian to every really focus on how he acted towards you.

“If Ian has feelings for me,” you stated, “which I’m not saying I think he does, what would I even do?”

“Ask him out,” Courtney shrugged. “It’s about time, you’ve been in love with each other for years now.”

Were you really going to do this? You felt your heart beating faster, your stomach already flipping at the thought of telling Ian how you feel. But, if your friends were right, then maybe he would feel the same way.

“Okay,” you looked at both of them. “Okay, I’ll talk to him.”

“Yay!” Courtney cheered.

“Go get ‘em,” Spencer added.

You walked off the set, and as you left you heard Spencer talking to Courtney as they made their way in the opposite direction.

“I’m just saying, I think I should have at least gotten a couple points for Kevin!”

Finding Ian was a lot harder than you had thought. He was busy filming all day, and you could never find a foot time to catch him in between shoots.

Whenever you did see him, he would smile at you shyly and then suddenly need to be somewhere. You thought he was acting a bit weird, and it might have just been his busy schedule and the tiredness that accompanied it, but he almost seemed…nervous for something?

Finally, you gave up trying to talk to Ian and sat down against the wall to watch as they filmed the ‘Can Shayne Guess our Celebrity Crush?’ video.

From the sound of it, Shayne was nearing the end of the video. You only partially listened as you scrolled on your phone.

“Well, damn,” you heard Shayne say. “Really thought I had that one. Then again, did I really except to get someone from art department right?”

“Moving on to the next set of crushes,” he continued. “We have Bridget Mendler—good choice. Kesha—I think I know who this is already. And…”

Shayne paused, and the whole studio became quiet. You looked up.

“…(Y/n),” Shayne finished. You looked towards the monitor, seeing the images of the two other celebrities and yourself on the screen.

Shayne looked at you off-camera. “This list is crazy. I’m going to take a wild guess and say this is Ian.”

His eyes landed on a spot in the distance and you followed them, seeing Ian leaning against the wall, a ways away from you. You searched his face, but he was looking anywhere but you.

“Is it Ian?” Shayne pointed at the screen and, sure enough, a picture of Ian’s face popped up.

You felt the breath leave your lungs. What had just happened? Had Ian just admitted to having a crush on you through a video?

Back on set, Shayne was running his hands through his hair, saying, “Well, that’ll give the fans something to think about…”

But you could only watch Ian, making your way to where he was standing. You were aware of everybody’s eyes on you.

“Really?” Was all you said once you reached him, your voice coming out as a whisper.

Ian smiled at you. “Hey, you’re on famous birthdays, I think that counts as a celebrity.”

That was all the encouragement you needed. Just like that, you kissed him. And he kissed you back, wrapping his arms around you.

“Yeah baby!” You heard someone shoot, and you pulled away to see Courtney beaming at you.

“I promise I didn’t know that was going to happen,” Spencer grinned, holding his hands up from his spot by the computer. “I don’t actually go through these things before we shoot.”

You giggled, turning back to Ian.

“Did you really not know?” He asked you. “I always thought I was kind of obvious.”

“To everyone but me, I think,” you told him, chuckling. “I was to busy having feelings for you.”

“And look at us now,” Ian joked, putting his arm around your shoulder. You couldn’t stop smiling.

“I just wish I’d had the guts to put you as one of my celebrity crushes,” you told him.

“Who would I have beat out?” He asked you. “Austin Butler?”

“Let’s not get hasty,” you teased.

But suddenly you had an idea. You walked over to where Spencer sat. “Hey, Spence? Have you guys done my list yet?”

“Not yet,” he whispered so Shayne wouldn’t hear him.

You turned back to look at Ian, who was watching you like he had finally found you and didn’t want to lose you.

“Can you still edit those things? Because I have a last minute adjustment,” you told him, smiling as you showed him a picture of Ian.

“Let’s give the fans even more to think about.”
