JOHNNY
picture this - it's the early 2000s and you have started a job at MTV as an apprentice camera operator on a new show called "Jackass"
you're first day on set, it was like a whiplash on how the boys acted on set versus the way you live your life normally
it was crazy for you to see men in their 30s (or early 20s in bam and ryan's case) act like complete man children for days on end to film content for an MTV show
however, this is not to say you didn't have fun on set and the jackass cast wasn't fun to talk to
you were finally getting comfortable and settling into the swing of things on set about a month in when the literal star of the show greeted you on your way into the shoot location that day
instantly, you were caught off guard as you rarely had to interact with johnny for any reason other than to tell him he's out of frame or you had to take the shot again
it took you a couple of seconds to put your brain back together and form words in order to speak to johnny
you would be lying to yourself if you said you hadn't shared lingering glances with johnny on set, whether behind the scenes or not
however, you didn't think of it before as it never blossomed into anything more
and now that you're standing in the doorway of a hockey rink with nothing distracting you from the beautiful man in front of you, with his dark brown eyes trained on you and his gaze raking across your face, you're finding it hard to talk
once you had gotten enough courage to work up a response to johnny's "hello", he wasn't so scary to talk to
in fact, he must have liked you because he invited you to a house party he was throwing that night
needless to say, he enjoyed your company, and you greatly enjoyed his
CHRIS
i wanna say you probably met chris while he was filming wildboyz
like you were a spectator on his and steve-o's insane filming day and got dragged into it by jeff, who thought it would be good content to film an unscripted reaction to the events they were filming
you were extremely nervous as you were being briefed by jeff on what was going to happen as you had never been on tv before, let alone done anything of what the boys were doing
the stunt was probably when they held that big ass tarantula, just saying
while filming, chris was really supportive of you and helped through any nerves you experienced while dealing with the stunt
he would give you a cute smile anytime managed to calm yourself down and do something even fucking crazier than him or steve thought of, like putting the tarantula on your neck or something idk
jeff must have liked the content that you brought to the show as he asked you to come back for another stunt they were going to film next
despite initial hesitances from you, with the cheering and support from chris holding your hand and persuading you with those chocolate eyes, you agreed to it
and that is how you became a regular appearance on wildboyz and got to know chris better
STEVE-O
you most definitely met him at a house party you guys were invited to, but ya'll didn't know each other
like you were a friend of a friend and got invited to this MASSIVE party in hollywood hills
immediately once you arrived, you could hear shouts, cheers, and groans coming from a room further in the house
it didn't take you long to figure out where the commotion was coming from as you stepped into the kitchen and there was a man fucking swinging from the chandelier
as your initial shock wore off, the man dropped down almost on top of you and had to steady himself on your shoulders to make sure he didn't fall over
"sorry, dude. i hope i didn't hurt you" would for sure be the first words he said to you
i think he would be captivated by your nonchalant energy when reacting to his antics and would want to hang around you for vibes sake
ya'll definitely had deep ass conversations on like the patio or something while there's a mosh pit behind you
all in all, steve really enjoyed talking to you as you shared a lot of similar experiences together and could bond over you interests
you may or may not leave alone at the end of the night, at the very least with steve's number
BAM
you were absolutely without a shadow of a doubt someone that bam and brandon were pranking for the filming of CKY
probably like bam went up to you at a fair and asked to have a taste of the ice cream cone in your hand or something
but when you match bam's energy??
girl
he'll fold
like he'll immediately try to do anything he can to impress you, probably doing skating tricks on his board while making sure you see him
your attention the first time you meet him is the only thing he'll strive for, like that is the only thing he cares about
after he follows you around for a good minute, working up the courage to ask to hang out sometime, he finally does
from then on, you two hung out CONSTANTLY - making jokes and playfully fighting each other
you were practically attached at the hip and you became a regular appearance in the consequent CKY movies
RYAN
i get the feeling that ya'll met in high school
like he was the chill kid in the back of the class that always did crazy shit and you were the kid right in front of him that had to deal with that
the only reason you two started talking was probably started by you telling him to shut up at one point
but once you two got paired on a project together by sheer luck, you soon found out that ryan wasn't as bad as you thought
in fact, you actually seemed to really enjoy his company
after ya'll got the project finished probably with a D if we're being so honest ryan kept talking to you and ended up inviting you out with his friends bam and brandon one night
accepting this invitation changed the course of your life and you could not be happier about it
now you're on the cover of Big Brother magazines and hanging out with all the boys of jackass
however, even if you did not have the fame and fortune, being with ryan would be more than enough
