Loud energy was at an all-time high. Streamer University was back in session, and the campus was a full of tripods, ring lights, and creators running entirely on Red Bull and pure adrenaline.
Silky was adjusting his setup in his room with the door half open. Between managing chat overlays and trying to figure out why his wireless mic was suddenly picking up nothing he was saying, he barely noticed the person crashing backward into his door.
"Okay, note to self: never let chat decide what kind of roller shoes I wear on a brick-paved campus," you groaned from the floor.
Silky looked up from his monitor. You were just sitting cross legged right in his doorway, untangling the straps of a massive ring-light backpack that had half-swallowed you.
A stray selfie stick rolled forward and tapped against his sneaker. Silky raised an eyebrow, a deadpan look crossing his face before he chuckled. "Well, that’s one way to make an entrance. Most people just knock.”
“Oh, hi. I’m sorry.” You said starting to wobble trying to get up. “I’m Y/n.” You stuck out your hand. “Are you silky? Because my chat told me we would got it off good" Silky just stared at you while shaking your hand. You were gorgeous. "Your chat is very much correct.” He joked.
“Well uh, how is your first day of streamer u so far?” Silky said walking over to his desk. "I haven’t been able so start my stream yet, my phone has somehow died twice, and I accidentally agreed to a 24-hour subathon before I even found my building.“ you said balancing yourself. He let out a chuckle.
“Well, seems as though you’re going through it.” He said sarcastically. “I mean kinda.” You said losing balance. He tapped his desk with a pen, gesturing to the empty seat beside him. "Come sit, wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself anymore. Plus... I wouldn't mind hanging around your pretty face.”
You blinked, a sudden flush dusting your cheeks. You shot back, trying to keep your composure. "Careful. I might think you're playing favorites." He chuckled, leaning forward with a wink. "Maybe I am, guess you’ll just have to wait and see.
This is kinda short sorryyy, but I hope you guys enjoy!!
Also lmk if you guys have any requests and I’ll try and get to them asap🙏 im running short on ideas.
You had known lacy for as long as you could remember. The two of you met when you were six years old after you accidentally kicked a soccer ball into his backyard. Instead of getting mad, he laughed, tossed it back, and said, “You're lucky I like soccer."
From that day on, you were inseparable.
Every summer meant bike rides until sunset, building treehouses that never stayed upright, and making ridiculous promises like, "We'll still be best friends when we're eighty." Lacy was always your person.
When middle school came around, people constantly asked if you were dating. “Ew, no!" you'd both answer at the exact same time.
But secretly... every time another girl smiled at him, your stomach twisted.
Years passed. Lacy grew taller, his smile somehow becoming even more unfairly charming. He was an internet sensation. But he was still the same goofy best friend who stole your fries, texted you random memes at 2 a.m., and knew exactly when you were pretending to be okay.
But over time, you realized you wanted him to be more than a best friend. You wanted him as a lover. You wanted him to actually be with you till you were in your eighties. But you would never admit that.
One rainy afternoon, the two of you were hanging out in his room after he had ended stream. “I have to tell you something," lacy said quietly. “Uh oh, this can’t be good." You replied back. He laughed. Then he became unusually serious.
You blinked. “What is it?” He rubbed the back of his neck. “I have a girlfriend.” You thought your heart stopped beating. “what?” You stared at him with a surprised expression. “Yea, I have a girlfriend. Her name is Darla. And I genuinely really like her.”
A milling thoughts ran through your head. “Um, okay. Wow then. I’m so happy for you.” You said with an blank expression. He stared at you questioningly. “Really? Doesn’t look like it.”
“No no I’m so happy, congratulations.” You said standing up and going over to hug him. “Thank you so much Y/n, I really appreciate it. Thank you for always being my best friend.”
Best friend.
That hit you harder than you expected.
You stepped back from the hug slowly inching towards your stuff. “Oh my god, Lacy I completely forgot I have to go. But maybe I could meet her?” You were never going to meet this girl, but you just said it to distract Lacy.
“Really? She would love to, I’ll set it up!” He replied back enthusiastically. You smiled as you got closer to the door, “well this was fun, I’ll text you later. Byee!” You said basically slamming the door before Lacy could even say bye back.
You sprinted down the stairs and into your car, pulling out of the driveway. Tears stared to pour down your face, quickly wiping them away. You were heartbroken. Watching the man you loved find his own love because you didn’t want to make a fool of yourself.
But she got to him.
Hope yall enjoy!! Towards the end I started falling asleep….. so don’t be mad please🙏.
Scheduling meetings, answering emails, organizing appearances. If it involved keeping Lacy's life from turning into complete chaos, it somehow became your responsibility.
Obviously because of how close Lacy and Marlon were, you also had to befriend Marlon. “You forgot your coffee." You looked up from your laptop to see Marlon leaning against the kitchen table, holding out your favorite iced latte.
“I didn't forget," you replied. "I just didn't have time." “Exactly." He placed it beside your keyboard before walking away like he'd done nothing unusual. "...Thanks." He lifted his hand without turning around.
"You two are ridiculous." Lacy sighed dramatically while watching the exchange from across the kitchen. "What?" "Marlon keeps bringing you coffee." “He does that for everyone." “No, he doesn't." “He literally asked me what your coffee order was."
Your eyes widened, "...He what?" Lacy smirked.
"Oops, you probably weren’t supposed to know that”
Over the next few weeks, you started noticing things. Marlon always saved you a seat during Core meetings. He'd quickly grab heavy boxes before you could lift them. If anyone interrupted you while you were speaking, he'd redirect the conversation back to you.
One evening, everyone else had gone to their rooms. You were still finishing tomorrow's schedule when Marlon appeared in the doorway. "Still here?" "Yea, why are you awake? You guys have a lot to do tomorrow.” You said holding up the schedule in your hands.
He shrugged. "Couldn't sleep." You stared at him as he walked over to the counter. He glanced at your screen. "You've been working too hard." “I have too, it’s my job. And I enjoy it.” He stared at you for a minute, trying to read you. “Okay, whatever you say. Goodnight.” He said turning on his heels walking back to his room
A week later, Lacy cornered you in the hallway. "So...”. He said, staring at you. "So?" You replied back with a confused expression.
"Are you going to tell Marlon you like him, or do I have to lock you two on the balcony?” You looked at him dumbfounded. "I don't—"
"Oh, please."
Before you could argue, Marlon walked in. "What are you guys talking about?" Lacy smiled far too widely. "Nothing." He said before walking away to his room.
You buried your face in your hands. "I'm afraid to ask," Marlon said. “You should be." He laughed, before taking in a deep breath. “Can I ask you something?” “Yeah, of course.” You replied back. “Would you like to maybe go on a date? If that's weird, you can pretend I never said it."
You smiled. “I'd like that." His grin spread instantly. "Actually?" “Yes, Marlon, I’ve kinda been wondering if you were gonna for a while now.” He looked like he had shrunk into his body, suddenly looking much more nervous than you'd ever seen him.
As the two of you walked out towards the stairs together, Lacy peeked out from his room. “Glad I don’t have to hear about you anymore from Marlon.” As soon as he said it, he slammed the door. Looking up at Marlon, who was already red.
“Don’t listen to him, I genuinely don’t know what he’s talking about.” He said, rubbing his hands on his face. “Right, okay then.” You said, approaching the stairs.
Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this one!!! Marlon was a request!!
You knew once you started dating Jason, your relationship wasn’t going to be a regular one. Not being able to see each other every day, not going out in public together, and definitely not posting each other.
So when Jason told you he would be gone almost a week, you didn’t mind all that much. Were you a little disappointed? Yes, obviously, who wouldn’t be? But you didn’t realize how hard it was going to be.
By the 3rd night, you were wide awake watching Jason’s stream. Whether he was asleep or trolling someone late at night, you were watching. He knew you were supporting him the entire way. You wouldn’t stop texting him about everything he encountered.
“Jason, why is Kai one of the janitors now?”
“Why is everyone being so mean to Lacy?”
“Tell Yonna I LOVE HERR”
Finally, though, the day had come. Jason was on his way to the core house at that very moment. You were in your little apartment making him some real food, knowing what he ate at SU.
A couple of hours later, when Jason had gotten all settled in and relaxed, you decided to head over. The drive there had never made you nervous, but today it had. Was he going to be happy to see you?
Pulling into the driveway and parking, walking into the house and setting down the food. Saying hello to everyone, asking how their week was. But finally, walking into Jason’s room, seeing him lying there in his bed, all your worries had vanished away.
When you walked in he was on his phone, watching all the clip pages. But almost like he had eyes in the back of his head, he sensed you. Turing his body towards the door, finally see you after 5 long days. He jumped out of his bed running into your arms.
“Omg, I missed you so much. You don’t even realize.” Jason said. You were never one to be so touchy, but finally being able to see him had changed that completely. He dragged you over to his bed, still holding you. “I missed you too.”
Finally, you had your boyfriend back. As you lay there for the entire night, he told you all the drama that happened over the 5 days. You knew already, but you still could never turn down hearing his voice.
Shortly after he had turned quiet, the only sound that could be heard was the air conditioning running. Closing your eyes, but before you could fully fall asleep, Jason spoke up.
You were never one to back down from a challenge, so when your friend’s boyfriend, Jason, had told you he was looking for a new filmer to help with his IRL streams and asked you to be it, you knew you couldn’t turn down the offer.
The first day was you just mostly learning the basics of the camera, how to zoom in and out, how to fix lighting, and just being able to hold it comfortably. When the first IRL stream had finally happened, you were just following Jason around the house as he introduced you to all the core members.
Everyone was super nice to you, offering some advice, asking where you were from, if you liked working for Jason so far. But as soon as you got to Ron’s room, you felt the energy change.
“Yooo, what’s up.” Jason said. Ron turned around from staring at his computer. His eyes meeting yours immediately. Before Jason could even introduce you, Ron stands up. “Who’s this?” He asked, not even answering Jason. “Oh, this is my new camerawoman. I’m just trying to get her used to the camera before we start going out in public.”
Jason’s chat started flying:
Um that’s awkward..
Why does he care so much? Loll
He air-balled Jason completely, L mans.
Staring at you for more than a couple seconds, Ron decides to introduce himself. “Hi I’m Ron, nice to meet you.” He said as he put his hand out to shake yours. A little stunned, you took one hand off the camera, putting it into Ron’s hand. “Hi, I’m Y/n.”
Sensing how awkward it was with him just holding your hand, Ron decides to let go of you. As this is all happening, Jason’s just watching this all with a disgusted expression on his face. Clearing his throat, “um okay, we’re gonna head out now. Bye Ron.”
Jason starts walking towards the door to leave, you following behind him. Snapping out of whatever trance Ron was in, he watches as Jason basically runs to the door. “Okay, bye. See you around Y/n.” You turn your head, giving him a quick nod. You hope Jason starts doing a lot more IRL streams, just to see Ron again.
I hope you guys enjoy this!! I’m starting to realize that this is hard, especially when I would hate for one of you to dislike what I’m writing about.
I do have 2 requests and I will get to them as soon as I can! Thank you guys for all the love on my last post, I’m genuinely so appreciative!!!!!!!
Waking up next to Alex every morning had felt surreal, turning over to see his hair all messed up, mouth wide open snoring, it really made you wonder, how were you so lucky?
Staring at him for what seemed like hours, Alex finally decided it was time to start the day. Opening his eyes, “What are you looking at?” He said, giving you a little smirk. “Your hair, it’s always so crazy in the morning.” you replied back, knowing you were to embarrassed to tell him the truth, you just loved looking at him, from his sharp jawline, to his brown eyes, to his tattoos,
“You sure?” He replied back, “You’re looking at me like a piece of meat.” He always knew when you were lying. “Oh get over yourself.” you said, stuffing your nose into his neck, breathing him in. You loved moments like these, just the two of you, no cameras, no screaming from the other boys. Just this raw moment.
“So, what do you think about a little picnic today? Nothing crazy, just outside on the balcony. I can run to the grocery store, grab a couple things. You can stay here and get ready.” Alex had said. Still leaning into his neck, you pulled your face out a little to look at him, “Really? I would love that.” You pulled away starting to get out of bed, looking for a robe to put on over your pajamas.
2 hours later, Alex had gotten back from the grocery store, you were still putting together an outfit. You could hear him running up and down the stairs and opening and closing his balcony door, banging all types of silverware and plates. You had finally finished getting ready, walking out to the balcony, you saw what your boyfriend had been putting together this whole time
It was gorgeous, flowers in a vase, your favorite foods all around, but your favorite sight, Alex standing there just staring at you. “Oh my god, Alex this is adorable!” You say walking up to him. He reaches out for your waist, holding it securely. “You really like it?” He said hopefully. Shaking your head yes, he leads you down to the cushions he had set up. Enjoying the rest of your night with your lovely boyfriend.
First post!!! I really hope you guys enjoy this, I had a lot of fun writing this. I’m still trying to figure out a lot so let me know if what I can improve on!!
