Pushing my face into my pillow, I scream. I scream until my throat starts to hurt before standing up, fixing my sheets, and heading out of my room. I quickly piss before stopping in Blue’s room.
Maki looks up at me from the corner of Rin’s room, giving me a little wave.
“Hi, Maki.”
“Hi,” he says, raising his brow. “You okay?”
Rin notices my presence. He says something to chat before looking over at me.
“I know,” I say right away, groaning into my hands again. “That was a disaster. I was a disaster. What the hell?”
“Hey, it’s okay,” Rin finally says. “Nothing you can’t handle, Rodney. Just take a breath.”
I suck in a deep breath, letting it out slowly. “At least the guy was a streamer and you guys got some hilarious content out of it. This isn’t even as bad as when Maki showed up in my stream. At least Azaad didn’t cut your feed.”
“He didn’t cut it yet. For all I know I’ll go back to my room and see my stream’s been taken over.”
Rin looks at his second monitor. “Nope. It’s all good! It’s not like Azaad is Joker. He wouldn’t mess with your stream the same way my mods do.”
“True,” I say with a pout. “We’ll do a few more games but I don’t think I have more than that in me.”
“No worries. Just give me the signal and I’ll take over. I promise, you’re all good.”
“Thanks, Rin. Sorry for being such a disaster.”
“If it helps, chat thought it was hilarious,” Maki says from his place on the bed. “Did you do it on purpose? Forgetting to mute your mic?”
I pout over at my best friend’s boyfriend. “No. That was real.”
Maki nods his head. “It was an honest mistake and this Snow person seems very kind. Except for when he shot you in the face. That was a bit surprising.”
For the first time since all this happened, I find myself chuckling. “You’re right. That was pretty funny.” I run my fingers through my hair. “Okay, thanks for the pep talk, you guys!”
“Any time,” Rin says before turning back to his stream and unmuting himself. At least one of us knows how to freaking mute.
When I get back to my room, I sit down and pop my headphones back on my head. Before anything else, I quickly open a new window, pulling up Snow’s stream. He’s just talking to chat, thanking them for their donations and subscriptions today.
My breath is stolen from my lungs.
Okay. I am so thoroughly fucked. Not only is the guy good at video games, funny, and has a panty-melting voice, but he’s alsohot.
I stare at him for a long moment, just taking him in. His skin is pale and his features are soft, giving him a very androgynous look to him. His dark hair is chopped short, just barely longer than a buzz cut. He’s got a nose piercing and gauges in his ears. His eyes are a deep brown color.
He’s beautiful.
He’s beautiful and I can feel my heart pounding inside my chest. I’ve always had a weakness for pretty men and it appears that Snow is no exception.
Fuck.
I switch back over to my normal feed, hoping like hell this weird crush isn’t written all over my face. “Hi, chat!”
WizeWizard(vip): Welcome back Rodney! I missed you!
Azaad(mod): ..wow
WizeWizard(vip): Oh don’t be jealous! You know my heart belongs to you!
WhoCares(vip): …please stop
