Proflies: da kats ↣ da bravos ↣ da gays
Even in the quietest of moments, sound exists. Most of the time whether people would like it or not.
“CAN YOU GUYS NOT TRY AND SET ME UP WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE WAY OUT OF MY LEAGUE!”
This time the sound came from a tall girl with a go-pro in hand. This is y/n l/n, the internet's favorite loser, currently she was doing what she did best, streaming. Right now she had a large grin on her face as her eyes scan the chats comments as she records herself.
“Seriously y’all, I’m flattered you have so much faith in me. But I highly doubt Zendaya will leave Tom for me if I dm her.” She rolls her eyes but her smirk widens like she might do it just to see what happens.
spideypoolslovechild: u two would make such a hot couple 😛
y/nspinkstrap: you seriously need a girlfriend
drewsdaddy: aren’t you friends with santos bravos
papasmurf: Y/N HI FROM JAPAN 🇯🇵
She laughs as the chat continues to entertain her as she heads toward her favorite streaming spot, Central Park.
“You know,” She begins as she walks into the park, “you guys have asked if I was friends with Santos Bravos so many times I’ve lost count at this point.”
drewsdaddy: R U FRIENDS WITH DREW????
littledinglefairy: y/n spotted once again lottiering in central park
y/n eye dart around past the camera before stopping on something. Once the stop and wide smile breaks out onto her face.
y/nspinkstrap: dats not good
jokerbo1: she’s plotting something
losery/nishot: when y/n looks like that already know we’re cooked
She dramatically gasps as she reads the chat, placing a hand over her heart.
“You all think so low of me don’t you.” She sighs, shaking her head. “And all I wanted was to provide an answer to a question you all have been asking.” She pouts before flipping her camera around.
The person standing in front of the camera was so close you wouldn’t be able to know who it was easily but far enough that if someone knew them really well they knew who it was.
spideypoolstan: WHO IS DATTT
littledinglefairy: dream guest on my podcast?????
drewsdaddy: PAPI
y/n from behind where the camera was flipped whispers into her mic like she was in an ASMR. “I wonder who our little guest is, mind introducing yourself?”
The person in front of the camera laughs before pulling back and smirking. “Hola, soy Drew de Santos Bravos!” Drew waves at the before running to y/n’s side and flipping the camera again.
y/n playfully shoves him but he just noggies her in retaliation. “Sup dingus.” He grins widens before turning to the camera.
“You know, I have way too many embarrassing stories about y/n not to do the community a service and share them.” He shrugs as he takes the go-pro from y/n.
y/n’s eyes widen as she realizes what was about to happen but it was too late. “Wait Drew-” The audio cuts out as Drew runs off with the camera in hand.
He starts cackling as he speeds down central park avoid y/n who was now chasing after him at full speed.
littledingusfairy: LMAO ITS A CHASE DOWN
whoscallingmyphone: drew n y/n MUST be siblings
papasmurf: AINT NO WAY HE JS RAN OFF
After a 10 minute chase down y/n finally catches up to him but at this point they are already outside of central park.
“Fuck you man, actually fuck you.” y/n chokes out as she pants. “You can’t just steal my camera.”
Drew just laughs at her before noticing they were in front of their favourite coffee shop. “Well I can make it up to you with some tea?”
y/n’s head immediately perks up at that and a grin breaks out on her face. “Damn it, you always know how to bribe me.”
They walk inside still recording and order, once they get their drink they find a table inside and sit down, placing the go-pro to have both of them in frame.
Drew places his elbow on the table and leans on it. “Aren’t you excited for tomorrow?” He says nudging her. “It’s my first time performing back home, in a concert hall I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid.” His smirk melts into a soft smile as he thinks about it.
y/n smiles back at him while giving him a knowing look. Drew and y/n grew up together. They met when they were 9 and Drew fell off his bike in front of her house. She got a first aid kid and bandaged him up, and ever since then they had been inseparable.
From gay awakening to first dances on prom night they were a unit, an indestructible, inseparable unit. Of course there was third person who made up that unit but y/n chose not to think about her anymore.
After another hour of streaming together y/n and Drew said their goodbyes to the chat and ended it as they walked back to y/n’s apartment.
As they enter her apartment Drew throws himself on the couch. He sighs into one of the pillows before flipping onto his back. "I missed this couch, oh so much." He grins infectiously as he glances over to y/n who was looking in her fridge for something.
"Can you grab me a coke?" He asks from the couch pulling out his phone to scroll instagram. When she doesn't respond after a minute he glances over at her to check if she was dead. Once he sees her blankly staring at her phone he gets up slightly concerned.
"n/n, you good?" He says quietly, lightly placing a hand on her shoulder trying not to startle her. y/n looks away from Drew rubbing her eye before turning back and smiling.
"Yup all good." She grins and places her phone down on the counter and turns to get a coke from the fridge. "Here." She hands Drew a can before turning and walking to the couch.
Drew sighs, picks up y/n's phone and follows her. "You know you're going to have to talk about it." He stops in front of her when she sits on the couch. "I'm not leaving till you do."
y/n groans rolling her but deep down knows he truly won't leave her alone until she tells him. She mumbles something unintelligible under her breath, unable to make eye contact with him.
Drew sighs rubbing his temple with his free hand. “y/n.” he says with a pleading look. It’s not like he was trying to pressure him but he just wanted to know what was wrong so he could help. What kind of best friend would he be if he just let her suffer.
y/n feels tears brimming in her eyes again but she blinks them away and takes a breath. “Tomorrow's the anniversary.” She says her voice cracking slightly on the last word.
Drew's eyes widened, the anniversary. The day that changed y/n, closed her off, the reason she’s blocked out any possible romantic connections for the past 3 years. Memories flood his mind like a dam break, the screaming, crying and the eerie silence afterwards. That day broke him almost as much as it broke her.
“Shit, I can’t believe I forgot.” He clambers beside her on the couch placing a gentle hand on hers. “y/n, I know it hurts, and I know it’s going to be really hard but I’m here. I’ve got you.” He pauses as he feels tears trickling down his own face but he pushes through and continues.
“Tomorrow I’ll still be there, you’re going to have so much fun. You’ll forget what tomorrow is even about, ok?” He says smiling at her.
y/n watches him before wiping the tears off his face and then pulling him into a hug. “Thanks D, I really needed that.” She mumbles into the crook of his neck.
Drew’s smile widens as he hugs her back tighter. “Of course dingus, who else is going make sure you don’t die of sadness.”
y/n slaps the back of his head before pulling back. “You good to get to your hotel, or do you need me to walk you?” She asks as the two of you get up off the couch and you walk him to the door.
“I’ll be fine on my own, n/n.” Drew says as he puts his shoes back on. “See you tomorrow.”
She nods, grinning. “Yeah, see you tomorrow.”
……………………
The next day arrives quicker than y/n would have liked, as she wakes up she turns to her clock.
It reads, 1:22 pm.
“Shit shit shit.” She jumps out of bed so quickly her legs get caught in the sheets and she trips.
Before even getting up she glances around the room seemingly looking for a camera before untangling herself and rushing into the bathroom. She was way behind schedule.
Drew told her to get there at 2:30 if she wanted to get food with them and have time to just watch them practice. y/n had the ability to get ready pretty fast in the morning usually waking up late wasn’t a problem but the issue wasn’t that.
It was that the place they were performing at was across town and she was not risking driving and getting stuck in DISGUSTING New York traffic.
Thankfully she laid out an outfit the day before so she wouldn’t go out looking like a bum. After grabbing a cereal bar out of her fridge she ran out of her house.
Once she gets to the train station she texted her group chat with the boys.
She groans as waits for the train to finally get her stop and once it does she books it off the train not even looking back at the homeless man.
As she walked she felt this light inside her, it felt strange, it was as if after months of carrying a weight on your chest someone finally removed it and you could breathe again. And then she realized, for the first time in months she genuinely felt happy.
Just as she has this epiphany she turns and arrives at the concert hall. As kids y/n and Drew used to bike past it almost everyday. Even if it was way out of the way, y/n never let him go by himself. She knew it was Drew's way of manifesting that maybe one day he’d finally get to perform there.
And now that his dream finally came true, she couldn’t be more happy for him. After all, Drew was the one that pushed her to start streaming. To follow her love of playing on camera, and now look where she was now. Look at where both of them were.
Nothing could have prepared her for this life, but she was so glad that she got to do it alongside her biggest supporter. And now she got to be that for him.
As she turns, Manhattan Center finally comes into view. “Thank god.” Grinning, she heads inside the building ready to get some real food in her.
“Y/N! ¡Dios mío! Te he echado tanto de menos, ¡por fin estás aquí!” Kenneth crashes into y/n at full speed smiling like a little kid.
“KENNY!” She lets him crash into her before wrapping her arms around him.
y/n can hear the boy walking and she pulls away from Kenneth but not before he gives him a noogie.
When y/n looks up all the breath gets knocked out of her. She feels the world crashing down around her when she makes eye contact with her.
Sophia fucking Laforteza.
