Warning(s): Implied Smut and Swearing 

**

You were completely and utterly embarrassed. One of your best friends, Shayne Topp, had just woken you up from a dream, an explicit dream to put it mildly.

You knew what the dream was about and from the look on Shayne's face when he woke you up, so did he. He tried his best to hold in his amusement but Shayne being Shayne it did not work in his favor.

"Oh, Damien!" Shayne cried out jokingly as you two left the room you were napping in. You began to beat him lightly, causing him to run all the way to set in laughter. By the time you two got there, he was red in the face with tears streaming down his cheeks.

You were prepared to continue to chase Shayne past your friends, but a pair of arms stopped you in your tracks.

"Woah woah woah. What's going on?" asked a familiar voice. You looked up to see it was Damien, the man you had a dream about and your boyfriend. 

"Shayne is making fun of me," You complained, getting closer to Damien's side embrace as you glared at Shayne. He was doubled over in laughter, and since he was facing you and Damien, every time he saw your face, he would laugh just a bit more.

"Why is he making fun of you?" Damien questioned, looking to you and then his best friend that stood across the room.

 At Damien's question, you tensed up a bit. You were too embarrassed to tell him what happened, especially right now in front of all your friends. 

Damien felt you tense in his arms, so he looked back to you in confusion. You began to grow hot. You weren't sure if it was from the run or the embarrassment of the situation. 

You hesitated to answer, and everyone noticed, including Shayne. Your hesitation made him laugh even harder. After a while, you finally said, "It's nothing, nevermind," trying to dismiss the conversation so the humiliation would end.

Damien once again looked confused but let it be. He brought you into an actual hug this time to properly comfort you.

The incident never came up again, that is until three months later during a try not to laugh challenge.

"Welcome back everyone to another laugh challenge," Courtney started the video excitedly. All of you involved in the video shouted and waved to the camera frantically.

"Today we are joined by Y/N, who you all have seen before but haven't in a good while," Courtney continued as you sent a wave to the camera and said, "Hi guys."

"You all know the rules, and if you don't, it's easy to understand. Let's hop right into it," Courtney finished, effectively ending the intro.

The video was going by smoothly. So far Damien, Shayne, Keith, and Olivia, had gone and you had made all but Keith laugh successfully. Yourself, Noah, and Courtney were left to go, and it was now your turn.

 Everyone took turns trying to make you laugh, and the only two to succeed so far were Noah and Damien. Olivia had just tried her hand at making you laugh with assistance from Shayne, but it did not work. Olivia went back behind the partition while Shayne stayed in front with you for a second.

"I have never made Y/N laugh during one of these, so it is my new goal in life to make that happen," Shayne commented, looking between you and the camera as he spoke.

"Bring it on Topp," You said playfully before taking a swig of water into your mouth.

Shayne was the last person to try and get you to laugh, and you were admittedly nervous. You knew Shayne, and you knew he has been dying to try and make you laugh during one of these challenges. You also knew once Shayne set his mind to doing something, he would stop at almost nothing to do it.

Producer Garrett gave Shayne the go-ahead, and you knew the timer had started, you only had to hold out for 30 seconds. 

Shayne came from behind the partition and in front of you. He laid a pillow on the floor to the side of you and proceeded to place his head upon it. He curled up and pretended to cuddle deeper into said pillow.

Shayne slept in silence which confused you, causing your eyebrows to furrow slightly. He would surely lose if he didn't do something soon.

The peaceful smile Shayne started the bit with soon morphed into one of frustration but also...lust?

Shayne shifted from the curled up position on his side to an arched back position and then shouted, "Oh, Damien!" 

You immediately spit out your water, successfully producing a seemingly perfect spit take. Shayne quickly got up from the floor and wiped the water that got on him off, all the while laughing to his heart's content.

He clutched for his chest as you began to choke from the little water that remained in your mouth, going down your throat unexpectedly.

As you tried to regain yourself, you could only hear the laughter of others around you, mostly Shayne to your dismay. Once put back together you looked to Shayne with a glare. His face was beet red, and a vein was ready to pop on his forehead.

You hopped from the stool and began to beat your friend facetiously.  You knew the fans would get a kick out of the exchange and question Shayne's joke. 

As you hit Shayne with your fist lightly, he continued to laugh. He took the beating knowing you were merely joking, and giving him what he deserved. 

After the laughter and your hits to your friend died down Shayne spoke up still clutching his chest.

"I'm- I'm sorry. I had - I had to do it," He spoke, needing to pause now and then to take a breath or laugh.

"I hate you so much," You said, crossing your arms like a child might when frustrated.

"I'm sorry!" Shayne exclaimed, bring you into a firm hug as you fake pouted. He continued to laugh during the embrace nonetheless.

"Fanfiction writers have at it," one of your friends commented from behind the partition causing the laughter to be revived.

After just about everyone, including yourself, made Noah and Courtney laugh you all started the outro.

"Thank you all so much for watching, and thank you Y/N for joining us! You did a great job," Olivia commented, bringing you into a side hug.

"Except for when Shayne made you choke," Noah remarked jokingly.

"To be fair, it was a bit of a low blow. It is an inside joke of ours," Shayne explained.

Before anyone could question the context of the inside joke, you spoke up." It's all good. Thank you guys, for having me."

"Where can the lovely people find you?"Damien asked for the audience in case they wanted to follow you.

"You all can stalk me at Y/U/N on all my social media," You said, waving your hand under your username that would be added in post. 

"Don't forget to like, subscribe, and aggressively hit that notification bell," said Keith.

"Bye!" You shouted waving towards the camera, causing everyone else to follow your lead.

"And cut!" someone said from behind the cameras and other equipment. Everyone gave a quick cheer or clap for a successful shoot.

 After giving your mics over to the sound department you and Damien headed for the exit. You two were off to have a quick lunch before you had to return to edit and Damien to film.

When you two were about to leave, Shayne stopped you.

"Hey, are we cool?" Shayne asked, making sure he didn't cross a line during the challenge.

"No harm done," You said honestly to your close friend.

"Good, I was worried I- " Shayne began in relief, but you cut him off.

"It does suck that you had to stoop as low as an inside joke to make me laugh though," You said jokingly to the dirty blond.

"Is that a challenge?" Shayne asked with squinted and determined eyes.

"You bet your ass it is."

"Challenge accepted," Shayne stated as he stuck his hand out for you to shake, which you did. You both shared a quick hug before he left to go his own way.

"So what exactly is this inside joke?" Damien questioned. He had grown curious the minute Shayne yelled the phrase, and he was finally able to ask you about it.

"It's called an inside joke for a reason baby," You said, taking Damien's hand into your own and walking off set.

*Bonus*

"Hey sweets get a look at this," Damien said, coming into your shared bedroom where you read silently. 

Damien came over to show you his laptop, which displayed many comments. You realized the try not to laugh challenge was finally posted and as you predicted the fans were going nuts. 

Comments like: " I must know the meaning behind the inside joke." , "You smut writers ready?", and "My favorite part was Shayne's joke to Y/N," flooded the comments.

You ran a hand down your face in mock distress. Damien giggled at your behavior, knowing you were only joking.

 "I knew this would happen."

"You ready to tell me about this joke?" Damien questioned, closing his laptop and placing a balled fist under his chin.

"Not in a million years," You commented, placing a quick peck to Damien's lips and returning to your book.

A/N: Thank you all so much for reading! I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I have been a fan of Smosh since 2013, and I am so happy to write a piece involving just a small part of who they are. To celebrate the end of Summer Games, I wrote a quick fic about our precious Damien. Feel free to let me know what you guys think!

Lots of Love <3
