SUMMARY:

Sharky reached peak happiness. Beta Squad reached 5 Million, and he couldn't be any more happier than being with his 4 friends.

What more could he possibly want? He has everything.

Well, maybe not everything.

NOTES: I posted this on wattpad as a chapter in my Beta Squad Oneshot story already. But I know a lot of my supporters are also from Tumblr, so this is for all of my supporters, fans, and friends. A celebration fic for my Closing Doors reaching 5K reads. This is for u guys <33

Wanted to write a kenniko fic but I feel like I wrote too much alr in my one shot fic, so I wrote Sharky x AJ.

──── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ────

Sharky had always been the type of person who thought twice about every single bloody thing. People see him as quite laid-back and relaxed all the time, only talks when necessary and his jokes are moderately funny. He is his own person, his humour can only be understood by few, his words and everything about him are like literary poems. Accurate and calculative, but spontaneous. Sharky's complicated to understand. Just like any other human in this world.

Sharky had always been that 'weird kid' as a child. The only reason why he was able to actually have friends despite being one is due to his talent in football which the other kids in school would always compliment him on and whenever they want to win -which is all the time- they'd want Sharky to be in their team.

Sharky's weird, but no one bothered to care. He's good with words, he spends his day observing people's demeanors and behaviours so he could change his attitude to fit theirs. People tend to like Sharky because Sharky intended it to be, he can change himself so people would get comfortable with him. People are easy to understand for Sharky. They're very easy to read.

That's what he felt when he first met Chunkz in real life. Chunkz is a natural entertainer, he tends to let himself out on camera. In a world full of masquerade, Chunkz showed his real face and he didn't feel a tiny bit odd about it. He likes peace and quiet. Sharky could tell just by the way he speaks, quick and rushed, like he wants the conversation to end quickly. That was the reason why Sharky actually stayed friends with Chunkz long enough for him to meet AJ, then further on meeting Niko and Kenny.

When Sharky finished his GCSEs and graduated school, he wanted to pursue football. He failed. So, he pursued his other interests, which was pretty much just the influence of friends because he had no idea how to do all this YouTube thing back then. What he was very focused on when he finished school, was that he wanted to meet people where he wouldn't need to put on a mask for. He wanted to find people where he could be himself. He didn't hate his schoolmates, it's just that he had too much history with them and they knew too much about his past.

He wanted to meet new people. He wanted those people to meet him as a better, more mature person. He met Chunkz. After meeting Chunkz, he started to gain more interest with all of this YouTube and video making shenanigans so he went to Omegle and met AJ. Which will soon, coincidentally turns out that AJ and Chunkz are friends.

What a small world.

Anyways, AJ was different from Chunkz. Similar, but different. They both were pretty private people, but it seemed like Chunkz didn't know that he is a private person and AJ knew it very well. Chunkz talked a lot and joked a lot but Sharky would notice him sighing in between conversations, wanting it to end. With AJ, he would talk and joke endlessly, especially when they met on Omegle. Sharky would just listen, loving the way AJ speaks. AJ is a very intelligent man.

Research has said that funny people tend to be more intelligent than a normal person, Sharky didn't believe that at first but when he met AJ. He couldn't agree more.

Niko and Kenny came as a pair, since they knew Kenny through Niko. They'd been friends since childhood, and everyone could see that the both of them are more comfortable with each other than anyone else in the group. It didn't bother them, of course.

________

Beta Squad reached 5 Million subscribers on YouTube.

It's a milestone for them, and they're all incredibly elated that they managed to get this far. Every single one of them knows that this is just the start of a new beginning, and they'll only continue to grow both as content creators and as people.

They celebrated it by all of them streaming on Twitch. Yes, Chunkz too, and Niko was in AJ's stream. They did giveaways, and it was just a good day for everyone. Their social media and DMs were all flooded with congratulations and all were tagged for edits and everything.

Sharky felt so invincible at that moment. He felt like the whole universe was in his hands, 5 Million is wild. He knew he'd never be able to do this without his friends, and all of a sudden he started thinking about life.

He's closer to 30 than he is to 20, he's not getting any younger. After 5 Million, after 10 and after a 100, what then? How long will all of this go on? How long will they stay friends? How long will their humour stay relevant in this generation? Will they be eternal, like how Sharky felt at the time?

Sharky, with all of his gloom and doom, was staring at the stars above as the boys sat in the backyard. Staring at the stars, listening to the crackles of fire and Chunkz's never ending complaints of mosquitoes.

The boys decided to go camping, not far or in the forest. Just in the Beta Squad's house backyard. While they all did their separate celebrations in their own way in the morning, they decided to have the whole night to themselves. No phones or gadgets, just the mind and their love for each other.

The moon was brighter than Sharky had ever seen, the night was clear with no clouds in sight. Kenny and Niko was talking, with AJ interrupting from time to time, while Chunkz stayed beside Sharky, slapping his wrists when he felt like there are bugs crawling around.

Looking at the boys, Sharky could never ask for anything more.

This is it.

The feeling of completion. Feeling alive, knowing you'll get old with 4 friends who'd die for you, and knew you'd do the same. He thought, what else could he ever want? What more?

The moon was shining so brightly, and while Kenny and Niko started to get more intimate with their conversation, loud voices turned to whispers, AJ backed out and sat in front of the fire. He was looking at it so intensely that fire sparkled in his eyes too. His smile couldn't be controlled. Everyone's just having a good time. Chunkz was already preparing to sleep, it had gotten quite late. Kenny and Niko were already in their sleeping bags, still awake but already prepared to sleep.

He looked at AJ. The most unpredictable man out of all of them. Sharky always thought he knew everything there is to know about the psychology of people, their behaviours and their flaws, but AJ is something completely different.

Always had been. He didn't think too much about it though, but a voice in his head kept repeating, “What more could you want? What more could you ever want in this world?”

AJ's different.

Because everyone has flaws, but in Sharky's eyes. AJ had none. He's- unpredictable, spontaneous and everything perfect. AJ was still staring at the fire, humming a song Sharky never heard of, brown eyes turned to yellow due to the light of the fire. Perhaps, that was how Sharky saw AJ as.

Everyone has flaws, surely. No human is perfect. But everything about AJ, even his flaws, turns into perfection in Sharky's eyes. If a building was on fire, Sharky wouldn't hear the screams or the chaos, he wouldn't think about the smoke and the pollution it causes. He'd see the smoke as a form of beauty. Smoke, a natural form of nature yet so unnatural that it's better off never existing at all.

What more does Sharky want?

Sharky wonders.

He has everything. Everything he could ever possibly want. He didn't realise he had been staring at AJ for so long that AJ looked up from the fire to look at Sharky.

Sharky couldn't breathe, the lingering smell of smoke still stayed though. Their eyes met, and AJ's eyes held the light of everything beautiful, the fire and the ashes. So dangerous, but so darn beautiful.

So, what more does Sharky want?

Sharky, in that moment, looking at a smiling AJ with stars in his eyes, knew the answer then.

Sharky has everything the world has to offer, but-

But not AJ.

And when Sharky realised it, he felt empty. Because AJ, Sharky realised, is worth the whole world. Sharky could lose everything- but if he had AJ, then Sharky thought, Sharky knew, that he'd have no complaints.

Sharky wants everything that the world has to offer.

Sharky, who then realised about his feelings in the middle of a life crisis, looked at AJ and thought. Yeah.

He wants- he needs AJ.

Because Sharky wants to make his life worthwhile, and he doesn't want to waste his time going through all of that courting and flirting nonsense.

He looked at AJ, and AJ looked at him back. AJ had always- always, loved Sharky. But AJ knows his worth, and he knows Sharky's. Sharky with that beautiful face and a heart of a thousand gold could have anyone in the world, why would he settle down for a man like him?

AJ tried to let the feelings die down, and it didn't. But he chose to live with it. He's fine. Even if he didn't have Sharky, at least he has a damn good sense of humour and is part of a YouTube channel that has 5 Million subscribers.

AJ realised that a man like him shouldn't want more. He should be thankful for what is given, thankful that God even gave him a chance.

AJ looked at Sharky through fire. The light illuminates Sharky's whole being and holy crap, himself be damned, Sharky is one hell of an angel. With a face like that? Yeah. AJ hasn't got a chance.

Sharky slowly sat beside AJ. No words exchanged. They just sat there in silence for a few minutes.

“Do you ever feel like- there's so much more that the world has to offer that you feel so inferior about it?” Sharky muttered at AJ, a whisper. AJ was looking at Sharky who was staring at the fire, poking it with a stick. AJ didn't say anything, he knows that when Sharky speaks like that, that means he just wants someone to talk to and to listen to him.

AJ positioned his head to look at the fire, his eyes still stayed at Sharky though.

“We could've been anything. A teacher, a cop, a criminal, a footballer or heck- an astronaut. Yet- we became content creators. YouTubers. We didn't know how we became this way, 5 million subscribers. That's wild, AJ. There's so much of the world to explore. I want to see everything. Do you feel the same way?”

AJ was baffled. What is going on in this man's head? Going all poetic.

AJ knew the right time to joke and the right time to not. So, AJ answered truthfully. “There's not much of the world to see, I think. All of this is going to pass and what's happening in the present, I'm satisfied.”

What's the point of having the whole world if he couldn't have his whole world? What's the point of everything- if he doesn't have Sharky?

“I want more. Of the world. I want to live my life to the fullest. Do you want to come with me? ” AJ looked up at Sharky. AJ's not dumb. Sharky's message got through and AJ's just- shocked. “See the world with me?” Sharky continued. “Feel all there is that the world has to offer?” and be my world too.

AJ's fingers, despite being so close to the fire, were cold and Sharky's hands found their way above AJ's. Their fingers are laced between each other, brown eyes with sparks of fire that can't seem to break contact.

At that moment, Sharky knew he wanted AJ more than anything in the world.

And AJ never wanted the world, he just wants Sharky.

AJ didn't reply with a “yes, I'll go with you” but instead, he whispered, as his eyes looked away from Sharky's and to the sky. “The moon- it's very beautiful today. ”

Sharky could only smile, an answer was given. And it's even better than he could've imagined. Sharky gripped AJ's hands a little bit harder, and his eyes never leaving AJ's face, Sharky whispered- not to AJ, but not for him either. He whispered, for the world to hear.

“Yeah, it's beautiful. I only started to notice.”

Sharky wasn't talking about the moon though.
