❝ is this coming off in a cheesy way? ❞
paring: professor!adapt x fem!streamer!reader
request: by anonymous / “can you do something where adapt and reader meet at streamer u and they’re both really flirty with eachother the whole time and it’s just lots of tension”
you knew the hype around streamer university. you were grateful to experience this college-like setting, even with cameras following everyone’s every move.
the first day was definitely a little overwhelming, so many extroverts in one place at the same time. nothing you couldn’t handle, just something to adapt to over the next five days.
which, speaking of adapt, you were already late to his class.
you thought grabbing a quick iced coffee from the cafeteria would be no biggie. unfortunately, everyone else thought the same.
after meeting and greeting way too many people, your quick drink run turned into an unexpected meet and greet, making you ten minutes late.
figuring you were already behind, you got adapt a coffee, too. maybe it would help him let your tardiness slide.
“chat, do you think he’ll think i’m bribing him, or more like a ‘sorry i was late’ coffee?” you ask your camera, glancing down at your phone to read the scrolling chat.
“he’s nice, he’ll let it slide” your camerawoman, gianna, says as the two of you walk toward his classroom.
“really? i’ve heard he’s nice, but i’ve never met him. which is crazy because growing up, my friends would always watch him play video games” you say, checking the schedule picture on your phone. “wait, is this it? i think it is”
“this is bringing me school flashbacks in the worse way possible” you say as knock on the door, your nerves spiking as the muffled sound of laughter and talking filters through.
the door opens to reveal the professor himself.
“hello, i’m sorry i’m late” you say immediately.
“no worries, i’m adapt. nice to meet you” he says, offering a quick side hug.
you introduce yourself and gianna. as you step inside, the packed room erupts into a few teasing ‘ouu’s from your friends. you shake your head with a smile, glancing down at your chat.
girl was so worried abt entering class she forgot abt the coffee
“oh my gosh, wait,” you say, making adapt turn around. “here, i brought you this”
a voice screams from the back row. unfortunately, you know exactly who it belongs to. lacy is sitting in his wheelchair near the back, wearing a sly smirk. you glare at him, which only makes him laugh harder.
“oh, wow. thank you, that’s so nice” adapt says, taking the cup.
“yes, of course” you reply, your face feeling noticeably warmer.
you scan the room for an empty seat, but there are none left. “there’s no more seats” you whisper to gianna.
“oh, i know there aren’t any chairs left,” adapt says, pulling out his own desk chair. “here”
“oh, thank you” you say, pulling it to the back and parking it next to lacy.
as you sit down, lacy waits for you to look at him. you try your hardest to ignore his eyes, but fail and laugh quietly. “what do you want, lacy?” you whisper since adapt has already resumed the lecture.
lacy has collabed with you a time or two, alongside other core members like silky, who sits nearby and casually dabs you up.
“nothing, nothing” lacy whispers, pretending to wipe his nose while holding back laughter.
“whatever” you roll your eyes, glancing back down at your phone.
you have to stay after class for that extra credih
i would be a teacher’s pet for him so bad
you cover your mouth and look up at the camera. “you guys are actually insane”
“what is your chat saying?” lacy asks from beside you.
you turn your phone so he can see the screen. he reads it, then repeats, “extra credih” but unfortunately says it just a bit too loud.
“what’s going on back there?” adapt asks, half-jokingly.
you shake your head, “nothing” but lacy chimes in right over you, “she said she needs to stay after class for extra help”
you cover your face as the class erupts into teasing laughs.
she’s highkey hella blushing
adapt just smiles. “yes, i’m here after class if you need help with anything”
the rest of the lecture rolls by smoothly with a few more jokes, and adapt turns out to be a genuinely great teacher.
finally, class wraps up and everyone starts packing their things. you hear your name called from the front, it’s adapt, sitting at his desk. you tell gianna to wait outside, knowing your chat is already losing its mind.
she rlly wants that extra credih
you roll the borrowed chair back up to the desk. “thanks for the chair”
“thanks for the coffee” he replies, smiling.
with the classroom now empty, it’s just the two of you. “so, i’m really glad i got to meet you today” he says softly.
“ah, me too. i can’t believe we never crossed paths over at the core house before”
“oh yeah, sometimes i get busy, but here we are now” he says, holding your gaze just long enough to make your heart skip a beat. “though i'm thinking we should make up for lost time. maybe i’ll see you around later?”
your breath catches for a second, your face heating up all over again. “oh, yeah” you say, offering a shy smile.
“cool” he says, leaning back slightly against his desk.
“see you around, professor adapt” you say, turning the chair around and heading toward the door.
you push it open and step out into the hallway, immediately spotting gianna waiting against the wall with her phone out, a knowing grin already plastered across her face.
as your chat explodes with the absolute loudest messages you’ve ever seen, you let out a long breath, shaking your head as you walk over to her.
i understand tho, she’s a baddie
the next day, there definitely was a clip or two of your interaction with adapt.
you didn’t really pay too much attention to it, being used to getting shipped if you shared air with anyone.
during adapt’s class, your chat was exploding with the same thing from the day prior even though not much happened.
“you need help over there?” he asks, pointing directly at you and your confused expression.
you were surprised he even noticed you were confused since you didn’t say a word about being confused at all.
lowk i would stay after class again
why is he deadass a good prof?
by day three, it had died down a bit. your chat was mostly telling you to collab with some of the other streamers like yonna.
yonna was a sweet girl who had captured the hearts of many through her amazing and funny personality.
eventually, hanging out with her led you to meet up with plaqueboymax, marlon, and lacy as you helped them push lacy in his wheelchair. you guys were simply exploring the grounds of streamer u.
you were messing around with the guys and your camerawoman until you hear lacy scream, “daddy, daddy!”
you look up to find the culprit, and it’s no other than adapt.
he was dressed in all black, and you couldn’t help but let your eyes wander, taking a subtle second to check him out.
he dabs the guys up and makes his way over to you, pulling you in for an easy side hug. your chat immediately screams what’s practically echoing in your own mind.
“me and y/n got something for you,” lacy says, earning a puzzled look from you since you definitely don’t recall getting him a single thing.
lacy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny hot dog keychain. “look, it’s a hot dog”
“oh my god, let’s fucking go” adapt says, dabbing him up again before nodding his head toward you.
god, he looked too good with those glasses on.
“we got you a hot dog, that means you have to give her your hot dog now” lacy announces, and you seriously wished the earth would open up a massive hole and swallow you whole.
not only was the innuendo atrocious, but howling laughter erupted from practically all of your friends. you simply muttered, “oh my gosh” grabbed the handles of lacy’s wheelchair to push him far away.
the sponsors are not liking this one
L lacy for doing my girl dirty like that
“wait, don’t go!” lacy protests as everyone starts to walk the same way you were, though they conveniently lag a little behind.
adapt breaks into a light jog to easily catch up to your pace.
“you good?” he asks, a hint of genuine amusement and concern in his voice.
you cover your burning face with a hand, feeling the heat creep straight up to your ears. “yes, it’s just lacy trying desperately to be the clip” you say with a flustered, soft laugh.
he chuckles softly, the deep sound doing entirely too many things to your nervous system. without you even noticing, your friends have completely stopped following you, staying back by the staircase.
adapt slows his stride to match yours, glancing sideways at you with a slow, knowing smirk playing on his lips. “but honestly, if you wanted my attention, you didn't have to resort to pocket sized hotdog”
your eyes widening slightly at the direct hit. “i didn't buy you the hot dog” you defend quickly, though your voice betrays you, laced with a nervous smile.
“mhm, sure” he teases, stepping just a little closer so his shoulder brushes lightly against yours. “though if we're handing out trades? what's a guy gotta do to get your attention next time?”
you try to come up with a witty comeback, but your brain completely shuts down. your chat is undoubtedly losing their minds right now since gianna is probably just zooming into yours and adapt’s convo and letting lacy take over your stream.
“wow, okay. real confident, aren’t you?” you manage to say, shaking your head while trying to keep your composure, though you most certainly aren’t.
adapt laughs, a sound that makes your stomach do a stupid little flip. you two come to a complete halt, trapping you in your own little corner away from the group.
“only for you” he says smoothly, dropping his voice lower so it feels entirely meant for you.
you cant even focus on the way he’s looking at you, let alone maintain his eye contact. so instead, you focus entirely on the way the afternoon sun hits the frames around the building.
“you’re terrible” you mutter, there’s no real bite behind it. your soft smile slipping onto your face.
“more like, persuasive” adapt counters effortlessly, slipping his hands into the pockets of his black pants.
he glances back at the staircase where plaqueboymax, marlon, and lacy and the camera crowd are huddled together, making exaggerated whispering gestures and terrible kissing faces at the two of you.
yea, that’s definitely getting clipped.
“well,” adapt says, turning to face you fully, blocking your view from your friends, just enough to keep you looking right where he wants you.
his gaze is intense, locking onto yours with a playful challenge lingering in his eyes. “class starts early tomorrow. think you can survive another round of my class or are you gonna need another coffee bribe to save you?”
you cross your arms over your chest, biting your lower lip as you look up at him. “you’ll see, professor”
“can’t wait” he murmurs with a slow, wicked grin, before finally stepping around you to rejoin the group, leaving you standing there with your heart hammering in your chest.
the internet was going crazy with yesterday’s interaction of you and adapt.
clip after clip, edit after edit.
at first, you couldn’t believe he could actually be into you. just because you didn’t know each other so well, but now, there’s a possibility that he might most definitely be into you.
day four went by quick, everyone trying to make the most out of the day. meeting everyone they hadn’t, challenges, videos, clipfarming.
unfortunately, everyone was busy. and by everyone you mean adapt, you had hardly seen him after his class. not like you had anything specific you wanted to say, but it was nice the way he was making you feel.
by the last day, everyone was packing and recording their last moments.
you had skipped your classes, very carefully not to be caught.
you went to the cafeteria after all classes were done, and it was pretty packed.
you met so many new people and definitely some potential new collabs.
as you made your way through the crowd, kai cenat’s voice was heard calling your name.
you were slightly scared, thinking you got caught ditching, but he simply asked you about your experience at streamer u.
“it was so much fun! thank you so much for having us, this was definitely a ten out of ten experience. can’t wait to see what’s for next year” you say as he places his arm around you and you speak into both your and his camera.
“of course, thank you for coming and putting your best foot forward” he says, and he smiles, “now what would you think if we brought some celebrities to next year’s university?”
“oh my gosh, that would be crazy, for sure. like who though?” you ask.
“some friends, you know,” he says. “you are definitely invited too” he adds, and you can practically hear his teasing voice as he says, “if you’re going to be there, i gotta bring adapt back too, huh?”
you try to ignore his comments by smiling, but you fail and laugh a little, “no, yea, back to the celebrities though, by bringing your friends, you mean like tyla?” you tease him back, emphasizing on friends.
“alright, well it was nice having you, okay? have fun” he says as he leaves immediately, smiling and understanding the joke too.
as he walks away he says, “also you gotta stop by the police department, you were caught at the party”
you turn to your camera and put a peace sign up, “fries, bro”
after some mingling is done, gianna stays back with the camera as she talks to some of the other camera crew.
you felt suffocated in the cafeteria due to the many people and stepped outside for a second.
unfortunately for you, your peace didn’t last long because you saw adapt walking towards the cafeteria with gilly, his cameraman.
he calls out your name as the two of you walk towards each other.
“hellooo” you say as you give adapt a side hug and dap up his cameraman.
“where are you heading right now?” he asks.
“um, i don’t really know. i just needed some air, it’s pretty packed in there” you say, “maybe i’ll go to the police department, though”
“why?” he says as both of you stand in front of the camera.
“ahh, yea. also, i know you weren’t in class today. what was that about?” he says, teasing.
you smile and shrug your shoulders.
“all right, flock. guess we are going to the police department, let’s go” he says as the two of you walk together, just talking and laughing with the camera following you behind.
once you reach the police department, you hear music coming from the outside.
“kai really popping off with security” you say as you knock, not even knowing if they could hear you.
fanum opened the door, “aye” he says as he steps to the side to let the three of you in.
“we know why y’all in here, just go take your mugshot, kids” he says as he grabs the handcuffs and walks over to the wall with the fake booking process.
“wait,” adapt says as he grabs the handcuffs from fanum and puts one on your wrist and one on his.
he hands you the placard, lifting it up along with your right wrist and his left one.
you treat it as if it were a photoshoot. three pictures are snapped.
one where the two of you pretend to be sad, another one where you two are mad, and the third one was where he made a joke and you are laughing while he’s just looking at you with a soft smile.
after that, you two head back outside where everyone is at the courtyard.
you’re still with adapt and gilly when you find gianna again and pull out your phone to actually read the chat again.
NAH she left us this whole time for adapt
that’s not teacher behavior
you laugh at your chat, explaining where you had gone and showing them the pictures.
adapt was now a little to the side on his own stream, some of the core boys having come up to him.
THOSE ARE SO GF AND BF CODED
“you guys are always easy as fuck” you say, giggling. gianna laughs too, knowing she’s reading the chat right along with you.
ron and jason move from adapt’s stream to yours and you guys start to chat.
“let’s go around to ask questions” jason says as he exchanges looks with ron.
they walk over to adapt, tapping him on the shoulder. “are you going to miss your favorite student?” he says.
you smack jason’s shoulder as ron laughs loudly in the background.
“bro” you say, that familiar heat rushing right back to your cheeks.
“and who’s that supposed to be?” adapt answers, a slow grin spreading across his face because he already knew who they meant.
“ouu, you’re not the favorite” ron teases, pointing right at you.
you roll your eyes, trying to look unfazed, but your smile gives you away completely.
adapt looks past jason and ron straight at you, his eyes locking onto yours as he steps a little closer.
CHAT ARE WE SEEING THIS!?!
wait she’s actually blushing help
“i don’t have favorites, obviously, ” adapt says smoothly, his gaze never leaving your face, “but i guess i can make an exception”
your jaw drops slightly, your face burning hot as your chat goes completely crazy, spamming in all caps.
“oh, my god, you’re insufferable” you laugh, covering your hot face with your hands for a second before peeking through your fingers at him.
adapt just chuckles, stepping even closer so he’s right in your camera frame, lowering his voice just enough to tease you. “you can stick around after stream to argue about it, then”
the chat loses its absolute mind and even ron and jason start hollering in the background, completely satisfied with the chaos they just caused.
streamer university was over. and althought you made some really sweet memories, you were glad to be at the comfort of your own bed.
while reposting some videos on tiktok from your phone, you got a notification that made your heart drop a little.
thefazeadapt tagged you in a post.
you tap it instantly, scrolling through the photo dump. few selfies and pics where he somehow looks impossibly good, some group shots with the guys, and then you swipe to the very last slide.
it’s the photo of the two of you at the police department. the one where you’re laughing after his joke while he just looks at you, smiling.
the caption said, “if anyone knows anything about something (or abt her) lmk after class🫡”
your heart stutters for a second, that familiar, annoying pull in your chest snapping right back into place.
you bite your lip, thumb hovering over the comment section to type out a reply, when your phone buzzes against the mattress.
a text from an unsaved number flashes across the top of your screen, though you already know exactly who it belongs to.
