in your defense, the two of you hadn't meant entirely to keep it a secret. you had done the due diligence of two good employees and informed hr about your relationship, but that was mostly for work ethic reasons. after that, spencer had been the one to pitch keeping it between just you (and hr) for a little while. it wasn't because he was embarrassed of you or anything, but you both knew how excitable your coworkers were. once they knew of something, without extensive editing to cut out every little joke or comment about their relationship, it wouldn't be long before the whole entire internet knew too.
so, you had both agreed to keep the relationship close to your hearts. and then three months went by, then seven months and then ten more months. it wasn't until spencer mentioned that he had made reservations for your one year anniversary that you really realized how long the two of you had been together. and how long you had been hiding it from some of your favorite people in the whole wide world.
sure, courtney and arasha still bugged you about your "crush" on spencer and sent you an endless barrage of tiktok edits about you two, but something about actually being in a relationship with him made it easier to gush about him like a overzealous schoolgirl to your friends. even spencer would mention that at lunch shayne had tried to convince him to ask you out on a date after work. mind you, he was regaling you this story from the comfort of your bed, cuddled contently into your side like he was molded to fit there just right.
it almost became a running gag for the two of you, a bit that only you two secret lovers knew about; how much could you rage bait your coworkers with a "will they, won't they" situation? there would be days where the two of you would walk into the office at the exact same time, almost like you had carpooled. or spencer would test how many times he could get away with "playfully" throwing his arm around your shoulders during conversations in hallways.
you were having your cake and eating it, too. but, there were moments where you'd watch from where you were loitering at spencer's desk as shayne pressed a quick kiss to courtney's lips before heading off to do his job of reading reddit stories. you weren't aware that your face had changed at all until you heard spencer speak up next to you.
"what's with the long face?" he questioned, his attention fully on you.
you glanced at him, forcing a small smile and shake of your head. "nothing, nothing."
he raised an eyebrow and you broke instantly, your shoulders slouching as a sigh left your lips. "i just...don't you ever wish we could do that? freely kiss each other, not having to lie about my car being in the repair shop and how you just gave me a ride out of the kindness of your heart, not having to lie anymore."
"they're fibs at best," spencer argued, earning him a pointed glare from you.
"this isn't about semantics."
"it kind of is, if you really think about it," he continued, a small smirk growing on his admittedly, handsome, face.
you sighed, pushing yourself off his desk. "never mind. forget i said anyth—"
"wait, wait, no. let's just tell them. let's tell everyone, coworkers, internet, the whole thing."
you spun back around, setting your hands on your hips and frowning at him. "you were just arguing with me about the semantics of it all and now you're all in? i'm not buying it."
he shrugged. "i put you being happy over the awkwardness i feel about people knowing about us."
"you're just saying that because i pouted," you tried again, your squint getting even more squinty. he laughed a little.
"i think for a while, at the start, i was a worried that people would have some opinions. like, that you're so far out of my league and all that stuff. sure, i've seen all the tiktok edits but i've also seen tiktok edits of me and angela so i didn't really give it much merit. but since being with you, i...i don't worry about that as much anymore."
you stilled, standing up straight and staring at him. "are you being serious? you're ready to do this?"
he nodded, once. "completely deadass."
you couldn't help but laugh a little before launching yourself into his arms with an excited squeal. your arms wrapped overtop his shoulders and your fingers intertwined with the curls that sat at the base of his neck, which your face was nuzzled into. his arms were wrapped around your waist, his palms flat and sturdy against your spine. you muttered a 'thank you' into his pulse point and placed a subtle kiss there that anyone could have dismissed as simple adjustment mid-hug.
someone cleared their throat and you and spencer separated awkwardly.
"spencer, i believe it's your job to director over at the games stage," courtney said, jutting out a hip.
spencer checked his watch. "shit. right. gotta go." he initially leaned down to press a kiss to your cheek but you coughed and ducked at the perfect time to dodge him. he than shook his head like he realized what he almost just did before scampering off to do his, ya know, job. you rolled your eyes at his back before your eyes drifted over to courtney, who was still scrutinizing you with their gaze.
"awfully friendly hug there," she grumbled and you raised a brow at her.
"what hug? i don't remember a hug. hugger? i hardly even know her. are you calling me a tree hugger? i think i can get legal representation over that and then i'll sue your ass all the way to-"
courtney threw their arms up in the air in frustrations. "you are impossible!"
you winked at her. "i've been called worse. c'mon, let's get lunch and you can explain what this word 'hug' means."
"i hate you."
"you don't."
they hung their head in defeat. "yeah, you're right, i don't."
than came the brainstorming. late at night, cuddled up, or as a topic of conversation during your anniversary dinner. you guys threw out probably hundreds of ways to reveal to the cast, crew and internet that you were — and had been for nearly a while year — dating.
spencer pitched a recreation of shayne and courtney's big reveal and you told him unless he had a ring and plans of marrying her, that would get too confusing too quickly. you had pitched something simpler, making a reddit story post about how the two of you started dating and then revealing that it was actually about the both of you. spencer veto'd that one claiming that there was an unfortunate number of years that you both spent crushing on each other without saying anything and he really didn't want the internet to know that number, quickly foreseeing it mocking him for the rest of his life.
the decision had been almost divine. after a handful days of tossing silly ideas back and forth, neither of you had settled on anything that felt just right. you'd been sitting on the countertop of spencer's kitchen, lazily watching your leftovers rotate round and round in his microwave when you heard him call your name from his room.
"what's up, hun?" you called back, looking over your shoulder at him as he walked into the room, his phone held up towards you.
"have you looked at the call sheet for next week?" he questioned.
you shook your head as the microwave started to beep at you, causing you to hop off the counter and retrieve your now steaming food from inside the microwave. "you know i don't check until the sunday scaries hit."
"well, you should take a look," he said, trading his phone for your fork, stealing a bite or two of your food. "i think i may have found the solution to our coming out problem."
"don't call it a 'coming out' problem. that's so politically incorrect for you, a cis het white male to say."
"would you like me to call it our relationship problem?" he offered around a mouthful of your food with a teasing smirk and you glared at him.
"getting colder, agnew."
"just look at the call sheet," he said, nodding back towards the phone in your hand. you glanced down, scrolling past the typical stuff. reddit stories, smosh mouth, another rendition of flip seven, blah blah blah. then you saw it. friday, you'd be filming your cast beopardy episode. after the success of courtney's video, the pit crew had started queuing up the rest of the cast who agreed to it. it had been so long ago that you sort of forgot but a whole video all about you seemed like the perfect place to reveal your relationship. plus, you were already thinking of ways that you could reveal this without even having to tell the pit crew, making it just as much as a surprise for them, too.
you looked up at spencer with a warm smile. "the timing of this is insane."
"it's meant to be," he replied, his own excitement bubble up a little as he stabbed the fork back into the food.
"you think we could break the record of most views on a pit video or- wait, hold up, that's my food, spence!"
"uhhh, you snooze, you loose?"
"you little- !"
it was painfully obvious to literally everyone in the smosh office that you were in an extremely good mood. nothing could seem to bring you down, as you were seemingly on cloud nine. you were fidgety, standing next to the beopardy board, straightening out your shirt a handful of times and wiping your clammy hands on your jeans.
"you good?" bailey asked quietly as she set the beopardy bucket on the ground in front of the board. "seem anxious."
your smile was bright and genuine in response. this time, you didn't have to fib to anyone, this year long lie nearly coming to an end. "just excited."
she nodded and gave you thumbs up before taking her position behind the monitor as director. just as room tone finished and they got ready to call action, the door to the room opened and closed as spencer made his way inside, casually taking one of the many seats that were always present behind the scenes for those who wanted to sit in and watch videos be made. you glanced at him, earning yourself a sly wink and sweet smile before you turned your attention to the camera that was trained on you, giving the intro you'd been practicing for a couple days now. you were determined to out this video in the pit hall of fame.
"welcome to cast beopardy, a somewhat new series that is essentially a friendship test to see how well my coworkers know me, your very impressive host," you started before turning and facing the other cast on this video.
"giving shyane a run for his money as beopardy host," courtney commented, despite the fact that the very man was sitting right next to her, his jaw dropped in exaggerated shock at the playful dig.
"awww, shucks. do ya really mean that, miss ma’am?" you played up being shy, tucking your hair behind your ears and looking down at your feet. "now, allow me to introduce our cast today. we've got amanda, courtney and shayne competing today. three people that i've known for a very long time and i've had countless conversations with, so this should be a breeze for you guys."
you then turned back to the board and pointed out the categories, which ranged from titles like 'did i really do that for money?' which was true or false jobs that you worked before smosh to 'rerun away with me' which was your favorite early 2010's shows. the last category, which you tried not to show too much favoritism towards but everyone could tell was your favorite was titled 'dear diary...'
"this category is diary entries that i have written over my years here at smosh and your objective is to guess who it's about, okay?" you said, turning to them as they all nodded their heads in understanding. "great- quick, pop quiz, what video game did i play over 100 hours of within the first month of release this year?!" you quickly shouted at them.
amanda was completely disoriented, her arms looking like wild noodles as they waved frantically at her sides. courtney was shouting, clearly knowing the answer but the name was alluding her in her brain.
shayne buzzed in so fast it almost looked like his brain didn't register it. "pokemon legends z-a!"
"no!" courtney shouted, "i knew it! it was right there!"
you smiled and nodded your head despite the chaos. "correct! okay, shayne, you go first."
"that literally scared," amanda heaved out, "i think that put me into fight or flight and i picked neither."
the game continued on, being a relatively close match between the three of them, though you doubted there would be time for a lightning round after you and spencer's big reveal. eventually, the board was diminished to the last question, which thankfully had been 'dear diary...' for 500. you turned to the trio.
"amanda, which one ya want?" you asked, endearingly.
she put a finger to her chin, tapping it as if it required a strenuous amount of thought. "i think i'll go with 'dear diary' for 500, if you wouldn't mind."
"just an excellent choice," you teased. as you pulled it off the board and held it in your hands, you couldn't help yourself before holding it to your chest and leaning towards them like you were sharing a secret, despite being in front of six, high definition cameras. "okay, this one is super juicy and my personal fav."
"hit me, baby," courtney taunted and your smile only grew.
"okay, here's the entry. it's from a little over a year ago, for context. anyways, here goes. 'i can't believe it. he kissed me. after walking me back to my apartment, on the front steep, just as the sun was setting. that's some cinematic shit. look, i don't typically kiss on first dates, but this wasn't a typical first date. i really hope it's my last first date.'"
you looked up from the card, pretending to be cool as a cucumber despite your racing pulse drumming in your eyes. you fought the urge to look at spencer, who was also hearing this for the first time. you'd told him the plan, but refused to share specifics.
shayne, courtney and amanda stared at you like you had grown a third head.
"and...this is about someone we know?" amanda asked. you nodded.
"more than just like a random guy you dated?" questioned courtney, but you had a feeling she knew the answer from the suspicious look in her eyes. you nodded again.
"this is about a smosh employee, yes."
"woah, woah," shayne jumped in, leaning forwards with the biggest grin. "another smosh couple?"
"perhaps," you responded. "any guesses? who have i been smooching on lately?"
shayne looked in distress, running his hands over his face and through his blonde hair. "i legit almost set you up with someone like a month ago."
"oh yeah?" you said, pretending this was breaking news to you while tilting your head. you took the opportunity to glance at spencer, who was sitting smugly. "that's just so wild, shayne."
finally, one of them buzzed in. you knew who it was without looking.
"courtney, i believe you buzzed in. who do you think i kissed on a first date from this company?"
"if i'm not right, we're not airing this video. it'll become lost media for both of your reputations," they started before leanign back and looking at you hesitantly. "y/n, please tell me this is about spencer agnew."
you paused for dramatic effect, not moving your face as to not give it away. shayne's head snapped back up, glancing rapidly between you and courtney. amanda gasped so hard she nearly choked on it, coughing in the aftermath.
you cleared your throat. "that's...five hundred points for courtney miller! yes, that diary entry is about spencer agnew, our lovely smosh games director if you don't know him. and i am very happy to report that was the last first date i've been on in over a year, though i've been on countless dates since."
there was a moment of silence but then it was like a bubble had burst in the studio. some of the crew were gasping and shouting in shock. amanda started shouting senseless words that might have connected into a complete sentence once upon a time. shayne was being shaken by courtney, who was standing and shrieking 'i knew it! i told you!' as they shook their husband, who was laughing in pure shock.
you couldn't help but smile and laugh at them.
"that's who i was going to set you up with!" shayne shouted, his voice carrying over the chaos.
"i know," you replied, turning and winking at the camera, "he told me."
there was a a bit of an interlude for everyone gathered themselves and you knew whoever edited this would put the 'some difficulties' screen in for this moment. by the time everyone had calmed down, as you suspected, there was no more time for filming so you were left to do the outro.
"anyways, guys, because of my big reveal, we genuinely don't have any time for a lightening round," you turned to your three friends who were in various states of disheveled. "um, do you guys even care to know who won?"
"does it even matter?" shayne replied. "i feel like the three of us are the ultimate losers for not catching on sooner."
"i'm getting war flashbacks to arasha's fake engagement," amanda muttered with a thousand-yard stare into one of hte cameras.
"i knew it! i knew it from the start!" courtney cried out desperately slumped onto the table like someone losing their mind.
"you didn't know anything," you said, staring straight at the camera with a wide smile. "you had no idea."
"i had whispers of an idea."
"sure, court, sureee." you teased, lightly. "so, i guess that means the real winners of this video are me and spence, yay! we'll see you guys later once these three have gone through the three stages of grief and i hope you enjoyed this video. okay, byeeee."
