Summary: Corpse is probably the first and only person to receive a reverse noise complaint
It hasn't been a good morning for Corpse. It's barely been a morning, if we're being honest.
He woke up after three hours of restless sleep feeling more tired than he had felt before painstakingly drifting off at the crack of dawn. He had fifteen minutes of 'morning' to spare before noon rolled around and he dragged himself to the kitchen, swinging the fridge door open to a massive disappointment. Had the scene been a cartoon, a fly would've strayed its way out of the vacant fridge. Then again, using cartoon logic, Corpse could easily draw food to fill the fridge with.
But this is real life. And in real life food costs money that Corpse is strapped for. Grocery delivery is not a privilege he can rely on any longer, hasn't been for a few months even. So every couple weeks, like clockwork, comes the dreaded day calling for a grocery run. And it always starts the same: a vacant kitchen; an attempt to convince himself he doesn't need food to survive; a grumble from his empty stomach disagreeing with him; and finally - surrender.
That's how Corpse just barely managed to usher himself out the door. His all-black attire - accessorized with a black facemask and beanie over which he's also thrown the hood of his hoodie - makes him unassuming, mysterious and unapproachable all in tandem which is precisely the 'aesthetic' he goes for every time he steps foot outside the comfort and safety of his shoebox apartment.
Good thing his kitchen decided to be barren on such a shitty day - rain is pouring down in sheets, the dark clouds are so thick that time cannot be discerned by simply looking up at the sky - it's been the same shade of dark and depressing grey since 6 AM. And Corpse loves it. He just wishes he could have appreciated it from the warmth of his dry and quiet home instead of experiencing it head-on. Not to mention that he's soaked for the most part due to his aversion to umbrellas.
By the time he makes it home with two bags of groceries hooked in each of his hands he feels like he should be wringed out like a towel. The dark curls that are sticking out from beneath his beanie are damp and stuck to his forehead, the mask on his face is soaked and almost impossible to breathe through to the point where he finally bites the bullet and drags it down to beneath his chin. His shoes have a colony of fish living in each one and his groceries are swimming in their bags. But despite the massive inconvenience, his relief to finally be done with the task isn't dampened (pun semi-intended).
However, he's in for a mild infuriation when he approaches his apartment door, keys in hand, and sees a note stuck to the dark wood, the paper ominously contrasting against it.
For a moment, he believes the worst of it - an eviction notice. Is there a valid reason for him to be getting evicted? Absolutely not. Is the landlord and ass though? Absolutely, and Corpse knows the dude is no stranger to the distaste he harbors for him.
He's just about to completely ignore the note for the time being and push into the apartment in favor of drying off and organizing his groceries but an interesting detail jumps out at him from the white page as he goes to unlock the door.
The note is written in cursive in a glittery purple gel pen. Not really the font or format of an eviction notice or complaint, is it?
Corpse pushes the door open, setting the bags down in the foyer before stepping back out to retrieve the piece of paper and read it with far more curiosity than dread this time.
To his surprise and amusement, the note reads:
~ Dear neighbor,
You don't know me and I don't know you. But that's irrelevant. I just know you have an amazing taste in music and whatever it is you're blaring in the middle of the night, I'd like you to play it louder so I can at least Shazam it because holy shit do I love it!
Keep up the great DJing, neighbor!
PS: Sorry if the letter caused mild discomfort upon first sight. No complaints here! :) I hope the purple ink translated that ~
The relief that washes over him after the third time re-reading the note feels almost like a physical weight being removed from atop his chest and he can finally get his breathing in order. Which then turns into laughter, wholehearted cackling that has him leaning against the hallway wall, groceries all but momentarily forgotten by his feet.
Later that day, in the evening, he does indeed blast the music he typically listens to as motivation and inspiration for his own discography. Despite the blaring speakers, he still manages to hear the three distinct knocks on the wall connecting him to the next unit over. It brings a genuine smile to his face, knowing exactly what it means.
The roundabout way of their communication brings him great comfort. It makes him feel far less alone, the loneliness punctured by the knowledge that there is someone right next door who he managed to make smile if only even briefly.
Thing is, Corpse doesn't want it to end. He realizes that when he finds himself peeking out into the hallway of his building so he can check the other side of his front door for the potential new letter from his neighbor. The realization only sinks in further when he feels the flood of disappointment engulf him upon the sight of the letter-less door.
So, that seals the deal for him. He decides to take it upon himself to not let it end.
It takes him a long time to locate something to write on that isn't a napkin or a paper towel. Even longer to find a working pen. But once he does, he sits down at his computer desk to write a note of his own.
~ Dear Neighbor,
Hope you enjoyed the concert last night. Not my typical style to blast music but how can I say no to the Neighborhood Watch. But hey, I don't mind whatsoever - it's the closest thing to a party I've had in years.
Seeing as how we seem to share the same preference for music, here's a link to a curated playlist I've been adding to for almost a decade now. There's plenty of hidden gems in there I'm sure you'll enjoy.
Feel free to be the one to blast the tunes this time
Greetings from next-door ~
He can't help but laugh to himself as he writes down the whole URL to his Spotify playlist, but even the ridiculousness of that doesn't seem to deter him from his mission.
The next morning, during a teetering predicament of standing on a stool trying to change the lightbulb in the hallway, Corpse hears a laugh echo out in the hallway right beside the door to his unit.
He hops down and takes a look outside the peephole to see what's going on and sure enough, it's his neighbor, having found the note he'd left taped to their door the night before.
He feels a genuine smile spread across his face, a certain warmth flooding his chest. He can still hardly believe he went out of his way to establish communication with a total stranger - something so out of his comfort zone it might as well be in the stratosphere - but that laugh makes it all so worth it.
And there indeed is a party that night as well, with songs he knows all too well blaring from the other side of the wall, loud enough to shake the building. And man, does he love it.
He'd never thought he'd come to think this one day, but he never wants to not have a party (like this one anyway) again.

“Babeeeee,” You were sitting on the couch, scrolling through twitter. A strong pair of hands grabbed your shoulders and rubbed them. “You know I love you right?”
You set your phone down and tilted your head back, it leaned against his chest as he loomed over you. He charmingly smiled at you. “Yeah, babe, you remind me all the time.”
“All I want in return for my love, is an hour or two of among us because we need one more for a full lobby,” Corpse leaned down and pecked your forehead. “I already set up your pc because I know how much you hate it.”
You sighed and crossed your arms, “And if I don't?”
He frowned, “I will be sad. Sad like a child who dropped their ice cream on the concrete.”
“We wouldn't want that now would we?” You asked and started to stand up.
Corpse happily perked up and met you as you walked into the hallway, “Thank you! If we can find another fill earlier than you can leave if you want.”
You stopped in the space between the two streaming rooms. The right one was Corpe’s and was way more high tech. He had padded walls for when he recorded his music and kept some gifts that fans had sent him. You were not a streamer, but you always played with him and his friends. You never did facecam so people could never see your room, but you liked to keep it to your aesthetic. It made you happy and you felt like you played better than if it was plain.
Corpse wrapped his left hand behind the back of your neck and pulled you into a deep kiss. You smiled against his lips and squeezed him into a hug. He pulled away, cutting the kiss short. “I appreciate you,” He said quietly.
You rubbed his shoulder before going into your room and shutting the door behind you. You sat down and smiled at the set up. Corpse left you a post-it note with a heart scribbled on it and a water bottle next to it. You took a quick sip and joined the vc.
“She was so cranky this morning, I was surprised she said-” Corpse stopped talking when he heard the notification that you joined the call.
“I was what this morning?”
“Oh shit!” Toast teased. “You fucked up.”
“You were angelic this morning,” He lied. “Just like every morning.”
You rolled your eyes, “Yeah right. You can get cranky too y’know.”
“Do you guys want to do a test run with the proximity chat before we start playing?” Sykkuno asked. “Get the issues out of the way now?”
Everyone agreed and started the round. You realized right away that you couldn't hear anyone and that no one could hear you. You played around with the system settings, but only messed it up more. You unmuted in discord, “I cannot get this to work to save my life. I started hitting buttons and it only got worse I think.”
“Control R?” Corpse replied. You did as suggested and tested it out. Nothing again.
“I think I missed a step when joining,” You explained. “I don't know where to go.”
“Okay go to the dots in the top right corner…settings…and then…” You tried following Corpe’s online text support as much as you could, but you’ve never played Proximity before so you had no clue what you were doing.
“Go help her out, Corpse,” Charlie sighed. “This is painful to listen to.”
“I'm sorry ‘mr. know it all’,” You joked. “Sorry that you can't deal with us giggling in confusion.”
“Give me a minute,” You heard Corpse take his headphones off and push his chair back.
A second later he knocked on your door and opened it. He hovered over your chair and put his arms around your shoulder. He placed his hand over your hand that was on the mouse and made you click the right settings to get it to work. He switched back to the game and leaned into your mic, which was still on you, “Testing, testing.”
You blushed as he sneaked a quick kiss on the corner of your mouth as he waited for a response. Everyone replied.
“It works!” You cheered. “Thank you baby!”
“Sorry to interrupt!” Rae injected in. “I’m going live after I end this sentence and I don't want anything to slip!”
A few more people mentioned that they were also going live, or would go live later. That was your favorite part about your friend group. You guys were so tightly knitted together that you and Corpse could trust them not to leak anything about your secret relationship. They were always super careful and they didn't even tease the idea of you two dating like others might have. You were living your perfect life.
Everything went smoothly until about an hour and half in. Faye had something suddenly come up and had to leave before she planned on it. “I’m sorry guys! I do have a fill, she just hasn't played with you guys yet!”
This was Rae’s lobby so she answered, “If you know them and everyone else is okay with it, I’m down!”
Everyone agreed, someone was better than no one. You guys waited for a little bit and talked about plans later in the day or upcoming week. The discord notif rang and everyone got quiet.
“Hello?” A higher pitch voice squeaked out, she sounded nervous. Everyone greeted her with energy, which seemed to calm her down. “I’m Isabel! It’s nice to meet you all!”
“Hey, she already got the proximity to work!” Ludwig commented. “You gotta teach y/n how to get it up so fast!”
“Who’s y/n?” Isabel asked.
You wiggled your character around, “That’s me! You probs don't know me, I just play, I don't stream.”
“Hi y/n!” She greeted. “That’s okay, it took me a while to get into streaming too. I was really nervous at first! Maybe you’ll find a love for it one day!”
“It’s just not my thing,” You answered. “I could never stick to a sche-” The game accidentally started, you were a crewmate.
“Sorry!” Rae apologized. “I didn't mean to start. Everyone good to go?”
Everyone said they were ready and you ran away from the group right away, getting your download done before the cooldown ended. You met up with Corpse in reactor shortly after.
“Who do you think it is?” You asked him.
He was doing simon says, “Honestly, I think it’s you.”
“What!” You laughed. “I haven't even done anything but my download and one set of wires!”
“I was just at wires and didn't see you there,” He replied.
“Hi guys!” Isabel walked in. “You guys kill anyone?”
“No,” Corpse was fast to reply.
“Woah!” Isabel yelled. “Sorry! I just haven't met you yet and I didn't think that was what you would sound like!”
You giggled and covered your mouth, “Did you really not greet Isabel when she joined?”
“Maybe I did in my head?” Corpse asked himself. “I honestly cannot remember.”
Poki walked into reactor and stayed away to avoid a potential double kill.
“Just like you can't remember me in wires with you!” You rebutted. “I promise you I was there! I can do the second set right now!”
“That’s a great idea, y/n,” Corpse replied. “I wanna watch you do them.”
“Are you single?” Isabel interrupted.
You choked on air and fell silent. Poki let out a small laugh and you turned your character towards her, then at Corpse, then at Isabel.
“Sorry that sounded bad!” Isabel was quick to take her statement back. “I was just thinking about how there is no way that someone with that hot of a voice in a lobby of beautiful, talented streamers isn't not single. I-I was just thinking there has to be someone who hit on you.”
“Hot?” You quickly questioned, regretting the second it came out of your mouth. You ran with it anyways, “Weird way of describing someone’s voice.”
“I mean…” She trailed off. “I didn't mean for it to come out that way. I mean his voice is nevertheless but, you know. Just thought out loud on accident.”
You were careful with what you were gonna say, you knew Poki was streaming, “Sus.”
Everyone laughed it off and continued to do what they were doing. A body was found in medbay, the complete opposite side of the map. You cleared Corpse for the kill because you knew he went to cameras after Isabel decided to get weird. Everyone skipped due to lack of evidence and it was only one kill.
Isabel ran in circles around Corpse after the meeting ended. You started to walk away when you heard her say, “Follow me around I wanna talk!”
You tried to push it out of your mind, but you were still curious. You did a few tasks along the way. You stopped outside the opposite wall of the library. They were both in admin and you could hear them talking.
“So Corpse… whatcha do for fun?” Isabel asked.
“I make music,” He plainly answered.
“On soundcloud?”
He huffed, “I have 100 million streams of my song on Spotify.”
“OMG!” She clapped. “I didn't know you were famous.”
“I'm not famous,” He snapped. “I'm just doing what I love.”
She cooed at his words. You rolled your eyes in disgust. For someone who seemed so chill in the beginning, she really turned the tables. You felt jealousy arise in you, but you were used to people simping over him. You pushed it back down and walked away, you couldn't suffer through this poor attempt to flirt any longer.
A body was found. Isabel reported it, screaming. “The lights went off and someone vented in and killed Corpse! I think it was Charlie! I saw blue!”
“But Isabel, you were the last person I saw with Corpse!” Charlie argued. “You guys were talking about his music!”
“You did kill him!” She gasped. “How dare you!”
“She’s marinating you guys! I saw her kill Corpse in front of me! I did wires in cafeteria and didn't see anyone so I went to go check the table, and she killed Corpse in front of me!”
“I don't think she killed him,” You interrupted. “She said his voice was hot so I think if she were an imposter, that she would kill him last.”
Everyone bursted out laughing, you could hear her blush a little and laughed at the thought of it.
“Why did you tell them!” She whined. “I thought we had a secret!”
You shrugged, “I am a crewmate and I know you are a crewmate so I wanna keep you alive. Charlie was fast to jump on the sus train, I say we vote him out.”
Charlie got voted out and after two more rounds, the crewmates voted off Ludwig, who was the last imposter.
“Good detective work y/n!” Corpse praised.
“I know, I’m the best!” You laughed jokingly. “That was really fun!”
“When’s the date?” Sykkuno innocently laughed.
Other’s laughed with him, including Corpse. The only one not to laugh was Isabel. Out of the kindness in your heart, you decided to get them to stop joking around and let it be- it was a slip up after all. It wasn't like you haven't done something similar before.
Next round started and you mingled around like normal. Again, you noticed that Isabel was glued to Corpse’s hip, whether he liked it or not. Tina joined you in decontamination.
“y/n, we need to talk.”
“What’s up!” You greeted. “Wait… you’re not gonna kill me right?”
“No…Is anyone interested in buying flowers?” She called out. Any sentence to do with flowers that was out of context was a secret phrase that you and the girls had, that the boys knew about. It was Corpse’s codename before you started dating, but now it’s used so that you can talk about him while other people are streaming. No one replied which meant that no one was streaming around you. “I think Isabel has a thing for Corpse.”
“You think?” You replied, rolling your eyes. “She just met him today, what the hell.”
“I know!” Tina agreed. “She doesn't really understand how he likes to keep his life private so she keeps asking things about his routine…”
“And…”
“Anddd it's like stuff that you would ask someone if you just moved in. Like ‘what time do you get up’ and ‘do you sleep on the left or right side of the bed’ and-”
“Hey guys,” Corpse ran by, scaring the shit out of you.
“Corpse!” You yelled. “We were in the middle of a conversation!”
“You and Tina?” He asked. “About what?”
“What do you think?” Tina replied.
“Oh…” Corpse sliced Tina in half in front of you.
You panicked and ran in nervous circles, “What the fuck!”
“She knew too much!” Corpse replied.
“Did you kill Isabel too for talking so fucking much too?”
“I would if I could!” He replied. “She fucking double killed in medbay and you know I hate double kills on the first kill and Tina is the only person who knew. We were together. She went off and killed someone else in cafe I think and-”
“And we’re on six then!” You added, reporting the body. “You are not getting away with this one Corpse!”
Everyone gasped, “Corpse?!”
“He killed Tina right in front of me!” You told them. “He said that she knew too much! I just won us the game. There were four kills and if I didn't report, then the imposters would have won the game!”
“Don’t let her get away with this, guys!” Corpse argued. “You know I wouldn't openly kill the 6th kill. She’s accidentally killed and this was her back up plan.”
“You liar!” You yelled.
“My boyfriend would never lie!”
“Oh shit!” Rae yelled, knowing the truth.
“You’re what now?” You aggressively asked Isabel, making sure that you used a strict tone.
“My boyfriend, Corpse!” She answered. “We just had our first date!”
“No, no, no, no, no!” Corpse interrupted. “Don't get ahead of yourself. I said we had a date to kill by.”
“Well,” She softened her voice, “Maybe after this we can go on an actual date? It’s not too far-”
“Oh fuck no!” You yelled. “Don't even start that shit!”
“Wait what?” Isabel tried to sound all innocent, “I'm just asking a genuine question… y’know? Making a move?”
“No, no, no, no,” You corrected. “You are not-”
“y/n,” Corpse warned.
You ignored him, “Going on a date. You’re never gonna meet him, ever.”
She laughed, “I think someone else has a crush! It’s okay if you do, I just made the first move so I get dibs!”
“The fuck?!” You yelled. “Don't treat him like some sort of object! That's fucking disgusting! Vote the bitch off!”
“Wait guys!” She urged. “I didn't even kill! Don't vote me!”
“You fucked with the hottest girl in the world, of course you’re getting voted off,” Corpse locked in the final vote, throwing Isabel off the ship.
The meeting ended, the only other vote not for her was her own against you, “I'm gonna beat a bitch up.”
Everyone stayed near the button and laughed.
“She was so oblivious!” Rae laughed. “Like how did she not make the connection. Chat figured it out right away!”
“Oh fuck!” You laughed. “I forgot you guys were streaming! Sorry Corpse!”
He was still laughing; he never stopped laughing because he found it hilarious when you got jealous and snapped, “I-It’s ohkay! I would've done the same!”
“Can you kick her Rae?” You asked.
“Already on it!”
Corpse finally calmed down and caught his breath, “I think that was me and y/n’s lg. We have some damage control to do on twitter.com.”
You laughed, “Yeah I think we do…bye guys!”
You logged off after everyone said their goodbyes and met Corpse on the couch. You were waiting for him with your laptop, already typing out the explanation in a long tweet. He flopped down next to you, slinging his arm around your shoulder, “You are so cute when you’re jealous.”
You grabbed his hand and swung it back his way, “I am not in the mood right now.”
“Not in the mood for snuggles?” He asked. “I don't think I’ve ever been denied snuggles before.”
“I’m pissed,” You told him. “She’s been blowing up my Instagram dm’s.”
“Saying what?”
“I’m so sorry! I had no clue! He told me he was single!” You mocked. “I'm not upset that she hit on you, I'm upset about the calling dibs part.”
“I was a little upset too,” Corpse assured you. “It was a weird feeling. I haven't been seriously hit on like that since you did.”
You rolled your eyes, “Don't remind me, that was so cringy!”
“It was cute!” He corrected, pressing a quick kiss to your temple. “It worked!”
You rolled your eyes, “People are going crazy.”
“They’re going crazy the way you make me go crazy.”
“Corpse!” You laughed. “Stop flirting!”
He grabbed your waist and pulled you into his lap, wrapping his arms around your back and pulling you into his chest. “Now that I don't have to hide it, you better get used to it.”

With a frustrated groan, you push yourself away from your desk, now spinning slowly on your little office type chair.
You had procrastinated and hadn't done any of your work, and even when you did try to finish it, you were easily distracted or discouraged by intrustive thoughts.
Your mind would never fail to drift back to memories of when you were younger. However, those memories weren't exactly fond or anything you'd even want to remember.
Yet they were there, either popping up unexpectedly or lingering in the back of your unconcious mind.
You were snapped out of your thoughts when you felt two strong arms wrap around you, causing you to nearly jump out of your seat.
Corpse hummed. "Are you done with your work yet, darling?"
"Can't finish it.. My brain doesn't wanna co-operate with me today, or ever," you whine, feeling angry tears begin to form behind your waterline.
Corpse sensed the anxiety and frustration in your voice and immediately knew the cause.
"You're not a failure, Y/N. Your father was wrong, and you know it."
"Yeah, but hearing his words in my head don't exactly help when I'm trying to work."
"I know, baby, I know," Still not letting you free from his embrace, Corpse held your significantly smaller hands in his. "But he's not here. It's just me, doll. You're safe."
He knew what he was doing. And he knew that you knew.
You pulled away from his hold, now standing up to face him. He as well stood up to his full height, looking down at you with soft, comforting eyes.
"A-Are you sure I can..?" You ask timidly, looking down at the floor to avoid his gaze. He nods encouragingly.
"Of course, doll. I'll take care of you."
He brings his hand to caress your face and tilts it upwards so your eyes met.
Your eyes dart across the room, looking anywhere but into Corpse's own eyes.
"Tsk, eyes on me, baby."
You hesitantly bring your eyes back to meet his, prompting Corpse to praise you. You feel the blood rush to your cheeks at this.
"You promise?? I don't wanna be a distraction, I-"
Wordlessly, Corpse brushes his thumb on your bottom lip, causing you to quiet down immediately.
"What are you saying? I always have time for you. Now c'mon."
You giggle as Corpse lifts you up into his arms bridal style and takes you to the living room.
You end up watching a Studio Ghibli movie together, tucked underneath blankets and with you snuggled up into Corpse's chest.
At some point during the movie, you unwrap one of Corpse's arms around you and take his hand. This causes Corpse to unconciously hold your hand in his big, calloused ones, adorned with metal rings.
You both look down to where he held you.
"Awe, now would you look at that. Your hand looks so cute, the way it fits in mine," he coos, causing you to sink further into your blankets, hiding your blush.
"Mm stop," you pout, only making Corpse chuckle some more.
"You're hiding because you're blushing?"
"Yes!! Now stop laughing, you big meanie."
Corpse only responds by lifting you back onto his lap, resting his chin on your head.
"Aww, you really are blushing like a rose," Corpse fawns. "Aren't you just a pretty little thing?"
You decide not to sass back and instead accept the praise.
As you both refocused your attention on the screen, Corpse lets go of your hand and instead runs his fingers through your hair. You hum in satisfaction, leaning into his touch. Corpse continues to do this all while he whispers sweet nothings and praises in your ear until you drift off into a blissful sleep.
After what feels like an hour later, but was really just thirty minutes, Corpse's phone chimes, his screen lighting up to reveal a text notification.
As softly as he can, Corpse reaches over to the side table to grab his phone. Despite his efforts, you wake up from the movement and the sudden lack of warmth that was once wrapped around your body.
You huff in annoyance.
"I thought you said you weren't busyyy."
"I know, little one. Sean wants me to join a game with the others. If you want, you can watch us play. We won't be streaming."
You nod in agreement, and once again, Corpse carries you into the studio, setting you down on his lap soon as he sits down.
You hear a little beep, followed by a variety of voices, all talking above one another. It comes to a stop, though, and you're relieved of the overstimulation as soon as they realize Corpse had joined the call.
"Hey, Corpse is here!"
"What's up, Corpse?"
"Hey guys," Corpse greets them. "I hope you don't mind that Y/N's with me right now. They're little again and I promised I'd spend time with them."
You heard some 'aww's' in the back as voices overlapped again.
"Oh, no, yeah of course we're okay with that."
"That's really sweet!"
"All right, guys, no cursing or excessive yelling! If you scare Y/N, you're gonna have me to answer to!"
Though they couldn't see you, you still shyly huddled closer into Corpse's chest. Corpse's friends, being your friends as well, knew that you were an age regressor and were fully supportive and accepting. So this wasn't the only occassion where they'd played with little you around to watch.
"Thank you," you mumbled sleepily into the mic before yawning and laying back down into Corpse.
He gives you a kiss on the top of your head before he goes back to chatting and playing with his friends. An hour passes, and then it's night. The cold nighttime air seeps in through the windows, causing goosebumps to form on your exposed skin.
Silently, you tug at Corpse's hoodie, prompting him to look down at you. Though you've been quiet throughout the past hour, Corpse hadn't forgotten about you.
He raises a brow, confused for a second until you grab at his hoodie again with pleading eyes.
"'M cold, daddy."
"Shh, okay, baby, I got you."
Corpse pulls his sweater over his head, and on instinct, you raise your arms up as well. Corpse takes his hoodie and puts it on you, causing you to giggle in delight.
"There you go. Is that better?"
You beam, "Mhm!"
As Corpse shared this moment with you, he was still blissfully unaware that his mic was still on. That was, until he heard the choruses of "awe's" in his headphones.
summary .. you’re his streaming partner in all things, especially horror games
genre/warnings .. established relationship, fluff, sfw, swearing, resident evil village spoilers
“watch out around this corner.” you spoke aloud, thinking of the horrors that could be just around the hallway to your left whilst your boyfriend maneuvered his avatar around the lonesome mansion. he nodded, listening to your advice before making his way to his destination. “careful, careful.”
the two of you were extremely focused, already having been streaming for nearly three hours long with no breaks—and though you were at the end of your energy, the viewers were sitting at the edges of their seats, anticipating your next moves with vigor.
“oh shit!” he shouted, flinching at the sight of one of the daughters materializing in front of ethan. she licked her lips on the screen, approaching the player quickly with murder on her mind. “what do we do? what do we do?” he repeated, shaking his head with nerves. “baby, what do we do?”
you wrapped your arms around his neck, pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek before motioning for him to step aside and allow you to play. “c’mere,” a faint murmur left your lips, eyes scrolling across the controls and avoiding cassandra in the most efficient way possible. “look we have to head over here.”
though you were focused on the gameplay, you could sense that your adoring boyfriend was choosing to take your beauty into view rather than the storyline. it was an often occurrence, him getting distracted and losing a life or some health just by staring at how gorgeous you looked beneath the soft light of your led lights.
“hey,” you shot a glance at him, raising your eyebrows at his flushed cheeks and ghost of a smile. he was your dream man—in all honesty the only man that you’d ever imagine yourself ending up with—and there was no way you’d ever let him go. “you going to pay attention or what? time to kill a beautiful woman.”
you were lay on his bed as your boyfriend records a narration, gently rubbing a harsh white scar on your arm. as corpse read his script aloud to his microphone, you nuzzle his pillow, inhaling the scent of his shampoo. he comforts you, keeps you grounded, and you do the same for him. "baby, did you hear me?" corpse's voice interrupts your trance, and you look at him. saddening when you realise it was just a part of his script, you hug his pillow and sigh. "baaaby, don't sigh at me." he turns, looking at you. "sorry, i thought you were still recording." you smile at him, and he chuckles. "what do you want for dinner? i'm thinking we order in tonight." corpse gets up, climbing into bed next to you.
"gimme my pillow back, brat." he grins, taking his pillow back and pulling you against him. you hum happily, wrapping your arms around his middle tightly as he rests his head on top of yours. "should we order pizza?" your boyfriend asks, letting you kiss his neck affectionately. "mhm. i don't mind." you reply, letting him brush his fingers over your scars. "you're so cute." corpse smiles, kissing your forehead lovingly.
after a beat of silence, you squeeze corpse slightly. "what're you thinking about?" you ask, nuzzling into him. "i just wish i was in your life to help you through it." he mumbles, and you sigh. "so do i, but the past is the past. we have each other now, there's nothing to worry about." you cup his face lovingly, giving him a soft kiss. "alright... i just wanna protect you is all, sorry if i overdo it." corpse sighs, and you smile. "it's okay, you don't overdo anything. i love you."
"i love you too." corpse smiles, giving you a soft kiss that you quickly melt into. his fingers brush over your arm once more, thumb gently rubbing one of the scars there. "you're so pretty." he purrs, smushing his cheek against yours affectionately. "stop.. you're gonna make me blush." you giggle, reciprocating his actions on his arm as well. "i'm so happy that we're together." your boyfriend kisses your ear gently, and you hold onto him tighter. "me too. i can't imagine what it would be like if we split..." you reply, and he huffs.
"don't say that. i don't wanna think about it." corpse pouts, arms tightening around you protectively. "it's okay, as long as we have each other it's not gonna happen." you reassure his anxious mind, rubbing his back through his black hoodie as you pull away slightly to give him a soft kiss. "thank you..." he mumbles against your lips. "i love you, corpse." you smile, nestling against him once more. "i love you more. now, let's watch a horror movie on your laptop." he grins, turning to grab it from the bedside table.
you laugh, setting it up as he gets up to get snacks. "what're we watching?" you call to him, and he replies with a quick: "anything scary!" giggling at his reply, you open shudder and click on the first movie you see. upon returning with half the snacks from his stash, corpse jumps onto the bed beside you, handing you your favourites. "thank you, bubs." you smile, kissing him gently. "no problem, baby. now, what're we watching?"
—summary: You have been gaming with corpse for a few months now and the both of you have grown close to each other. Corpse started to feel comfortable around you and ultimately asked you to come see him in California. You live on the other side of the country and Even though the trip was long, it was so worth it.

You and corpse have been friends for a couple of months now. You met through rae who was desprate to put you in her friends group. Instantly you clicked with corpse; he was kind and welcoming to you making you feel like you've been in the group since the beginning.
After your first game, corpse asked you to join some of his games, vice versa. You both played together, laughed together, joked together, even playfully trashed talked each other. You loved being around him and you couldn't deny the feelings you were feeling for him.
Secretly corpse felt the same way about you. With the time you spent together, he developed feelings for you, at first he thought he was just dreaming, but no, he started to notice it wasn't, it was an actual feeling.
One night corpse got an idea to ask you to come visit him. He know you lived all the way on the other side of the country, and he know you both called and facetimed often but he was dying to see you in real life.
≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾
When corpse finished his stream, he leaned back in his chair as he picked up his phone. He opened your contact. He hesitated at first, not sure he wanted to text you, but then he decided to put his nervousness aside and do something he was scared to do for a change.
Hey, I wanted to ask you something
You, who was on the other side of the country in your home laying in bed, picked up your phone to see a text from corpse. You smiled to yourself as you saw your favorite contact.
Ok, what is it corpsie?
When corpse received your text, he chuckled softly at the nickname you had gave him.
I just wanted to ask you if we could meet? You don't have to say yes, but I'm dying to see you irl you know
You gasped quietly. He was asking to meet you, YOU! You never expected him to ask.
You took a few minutes to silently cheer before you answer his text.
Holy shit yes! I'll book Myself a flight right now. I'll text you when I'm on a plane.
Corpse chuckled. He was so fucking happy you were coming to see him.
≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾
Hours went by and corpse was waiting for your text. He couldn't sleep of course which made the wait even harder. Around 2 am he got a text from you.
My flight is in an hour. I'll be seeing you soon! Get some sleep corpsie, I'll be there when you wake up.
It was real, you both were going to meet soon. He was was nervous and excited at the same time. He took your request and Went to sleep after a few minutes of trying.
5 hours later corpse woke up to a phone call. He groaned and picked up his phone, not bothering to look who it was. "hello?" His voice was extremely deep as he spoke. "Hi, corpse. I'm here."
When corpse noticed it was you he instantly got up from his bed. "Your here, here?
Your laugh on the other side of the phone filled corpse ears. "Yes, I'm here, here. Now come open the door, I need to see you."
Corpse laughed as he reached his front door. You heard it click before it swung open. You stood in front of corpse with a huge smile on your face. Corpse had on a hoodie that covered his head full of curls. He was tall, way taller than you making you feel like a little ant.
"oh my gosh, it's you!" You said followed by a giggle. "It's me." Corpse smiled at you. "Well come in." Corpse move, letting you in. You walked into the warm house and placed your bag on the floor. "I'm so happy I'm here."
You turned to corpse with a smile. "Thank you for proposing the idea. Now can I hug you?" You tilted your head the the side hoping he would say yes. To your surprise he did. Corpse pulled you into a hug. You were engulfed by his warmth and scent. It was very relaxing to you. After a few seconds you both pulled away.
Corpse invited you into the living room, you both took a seat on the couch and caught up. You told him about the flight and how it flew by fast. Corpse listened to you with a smirk. You definitely saw it and it made your stomach flip.
"so what have you been up to here corpsie?" You scooted closer to him and listened as he began to talk. "Well streaming, making music, suffering, you know the usual." Corpse trailed off with a soft, inaudible chuckled.
"yeah I know." You both sat in a comfortable silence once you finished your comment. You managed to scoot closer to corpse and rest your head on his shoulder. You couldn't see it, but there was a smile on his face.
Corpse turned and looked at you. You turned and looked up into his eyes, a smile rested on your face, but soon it fell when corpse kissed you.
At first you were caught off guard, but soon you warmed up to his lips and kissed him back. Corpse hand came to your side and held you as your hand came to his cheek pulling him close.
The kiss was pretty heated, you could feel the fireworks interrupt between you two. A minute of kissing ended when you both had to pull away for air.
"wow, I wasn't expecting that." You mumbled breathlessly. "Sorry, I don't know what came over me." "No it's okay." You quickly said. "I actually wanted to do that for a while."
Corpse pressed his lips into a thin line before sucking in his breath. "Yeah me too. I probably should've told you I like you before dragging you out here."
You sighed. "Well I should've told you how I liked you before you dragged me out here."
Corpse laughed. "Well I'm Happy you're here. I can't wait to spend time with you." You smiled softly at corpse. "I can't wait to spend time with you as well." You placed a kiss on his cheek before you rested your head back on his shoulder.
You weren't sure how long you were going to spend in San Diego, but you're happy you flew across the country to visit corpse, and confessed your feelings for him. It was worth it.

Corpse Masterlist
********
<< PART ONE
After you left the apartment, you sat in the parking lot of some random store, trying to decide what to do now. Sighing, you opened your phone and went to Instagram. Corpse was probably wondering if it went okay.
Corpse: She left the stream, thank you!
Corpse: What exactly did you do?
Corpse: She’s sending Sean angry DM’s now.
Corpse: Hey, are you okay?
Y/n: Hey sorry, I had to pack. I’m fine, happy to help get her out of the stream. I switched off the power to her office.
Honestly, you wished you could have stood up against her more often than you did. She was four years younger, so you should have been able to have the say in things. But no, Olivia was a control freak and a spoiled brat too. She would no doubt tell your parents you started a fight with her, and she felt unsafe.
Corpse: Wow, you’re badass. Packing for what?
Y/n: Um, she may have kicked me out of the apartment, and I may have left without a fight because I’m tired of her shit. 🤷♀️
Corpse: Do you have a place to stay?
Of course you didn’t and you really should have thought about that before just leaving the way you did.
Y/n: Not really but I will find somewhere.
Well you hoped you could. There weren’t many people who were keen in taking in a friend during a pandemic.
Corpse: Poki’s going to call you.
At that message, your phone started to wring and sure enough, it was Poki.
“Hello?” You asked hesitantly.
“So someone let it slip that your sister kicked you out?” Poki said calmly.
“Is that someone, Corpse?”
“Yes, he said it out of shock but I’m glad he did. Knowing you, you would have kept it a secret from me.” She was right. You hated inconveniencing your friends.
“Damn you, Corpse.” You muttered making her laugh. “Yeah so I ruined Olivia’s stream and she started screaming at me before kicking me out. I didn’t fight it because I am tired of her.”
“Understandable. Well do you need somewhere to stay?”
“Yes but I will find some place.”
“Nope, you’re staying with me. Come over now or I am coming out to drag you back to my place.” Her protectiveness made you smile.
“Sure, I’ll be there in a few.” You hung up.
Y/n: Thank you for looking out for my stubborn ass, Corpse. I would have never told her.
Corpse: Stubborn is one word to describe you. Cute is another.
That comment made your face heat up from the sheer adorableness of it. Corpse seriously just called you cute.
Y/n: Can I say you have a genuinely nice hand. It’s marvelous.
Corpse: Hey, don’t make fun of my hand. It takes all the heat for me. That hand is very anxious every time I post him.
Y/n: Awe I bet. Give him hugs from me. Also tell him I’m a big fan!
The easy flow of conversation between the two of you was nice. You got along extremely well and talking outside of the game was nice, since you could focus on what you really wanted to say to him.
Corpse: He’s flattered!
This was great and took your mind off Olivia and the fact she just kicked you to the curb with nowhere to go. But Poki was there for you. You appreciated her more than she knew.
You pulled up in front of her apartment building, parking the car, you got out and grabbed your stuff. Typing in the code Poki had given you a while ago, you were let into the building. Entering the elevator, you made your way to her apartment.
Barely knocking, the door flew open to reveal Poki. She looked mad but also worried. She pulled you into the apartment and hugged you tightly.
“Can I slap her for you?” She asked calmly.
This made you giggle. “I mean I would like to slap her as well.”
“We should make a plan. Hey, the group is still on, come say hi.” She started to lead you to her office.
“Are they still streaming?” You didn’t want to reveal your face to the world, not like this.
“Oh no. We ended our streams when Olivia started talking about you. She completely wasn’t respecting your privacy and we weren’t about to let her spill it to our viewers.” That was so sweet of them to do.
You had left your bags in the other room while you followed her. An idle conversation was going on when you entered.
“Hey guys, I’m back.” Poki took a seat in front of the computer, she pulled up a second chair. “I have someone special here.”
Sitting down, you saw her nod for you to say something. “Hey, did you miss me?”
They went wild.
“Y/n! Oh we missed you!”
“Don’t leave us again.”
“I’m sorry I invited your sister to stream.”
“Hey Y/n.”
The mix of voices was overwhelming in a good way. Sykkuno, Rae, Sean, and Corpse pretty much spoke over each other which made you laugh.
“One at a time, guys. You can’t overload her.” Leslie told them.
“Sorry Y/n. We just really missed having you here. You’ve become one of our favorite friends to play with.” Sykkuno said sounding as sweet as ever. That man was just the best.
“Yes, I can say we agree.” Rae added.
It was nice to hear they missed you. It really helped to lift your mood as well.
“Did your sister really kick you out?” Toast asked
“Yes she did. But it’s not surprising at this point. She’s probably been gunning to kick me out as soon as she could.” Sad truth
“Well she’s the worst player ever. She can’t keep a secret at all. I really should have never agreed to get her into the group.” Sean said sounding sad.
“Hey Sean, please don’t worry about it. She’s always weaseling her way into things. It’s completely not your fault.” One of the things she loved to do was incessantly DM other youtubers for collabs or for free stuff. She really had no morals.
“Well thank you, Y/n. You’re literally the sweetest.” Sean said earning a bunch of ‘I Agrees’ from everyone else. That really was helping make the night better.
“Who’s up for some more Among Us to relax after that shitshow?” Lud asked making everyone laugh hard. It was agreed the group would do it. Luckily, you had your laptop and joined the call and game and stayed in Poki’s living room to play. Honestly, it was so good for you.
**
At the end if gaming, you said goodbye to the group. Then Poki showed you to the extra room that used to be her roommates before she moved out last month.
“Hey, are you looking for a roommate?” You asked as you put the bags on the bed.
Poki sent you a smile. “I am. Are you interested?”
This was good. “Yes, I mean I still have to find another job since my main is still furloughing me until this pandemic gets better but I have some money saved up.”
“Hey, please don’t sweat it. Besides, I know a friend who’s in need of an editor, I may have mentioned your name and she really wants to talk to you about it. Is that okay?”
“Wow, that’s perfect. Thank you, Poki. You’re such a great friend.” It felt good to have someone there for you.
She pulled you into a hug. “Always. I am so glad I met you. You’re one of my best friends.”
This was an honor. “Don’t make me cry.”
“I can’t promise anything. Anyway, I will leave you to rest. It’s been a long night. Tomorrow I will give you my friends details.”
“Sounds good, night Poki.”
“Goodnight, Y/n.” She waved goodbye and closed the door behind herself.
Smiling, you sat on the bed. It was such a good thing that she was here got you. But also Corpse was the catalyst that got you to actually tell Poki was what happening. He was sweet and it seemed he was looking out for you.
After changing into comfy pj’s, you brushed your teeth before climbing into the freshly made bed. Opening Instagram, you saw that Corpse has messaged you.
Corpse: I don’t like being too forward but hey here we go. Can I please have your number so we can talk more easily?
A smile made its way to your face. For a tough man, he surely had a sweet way of getting to you
Y/n: Yes you can. xxx-xxx-xxxx.
The nerves jumped when you sent that message. Less than a minute later, you received a text from an unknown number.
xxx-xxx-xxxx
Hey Y/n, it’s Corpse. Would you mind if I called you so we could talk for a little?
You liked this idea truthfully. It only helped to show how genuine Corpse was being.
Y/n
Not at all. Please go ahead and call me.
Your phone rang, displaying Corpse’s name.
“Hello?” You answered the phone while pushing away the anxiety.
A soft deep laugh filled your ear. “Hey sweet girl. How are you feeling?”
His words made you want to sigh in the most lovesick way. That never happened these days.
“I’m good. Poki had an extra room I could crash in and well I might just be her new roommate.”
“I love that. She’s so much better than your sister I assume.”
“She is. Here I won’t have to deal with the incessant pandemic partying Olivia likes to do.” That selfish bitch.
“Shit, is she stupid? She does know she’s risking a lot of lives, right?” You loved that Corpse had the logic you craved.
“So she is stupid, and her response was always that it’s not her problem and that the vulnerable people should stay home.”
“She sounds like the typical beauty youtuber these days.”
“Yes, she is. She has no morals.”
“Well that’s not good. I guess that’s why her name keeps popping up all over social media. She really needs to be careful, before she becomes the next Tana.” He was right but you personally thought she was past that point already.
“It’s too late. She’s already passed the point of return with all of this.”
“Yikes. It’s good you got out of there when you did.” A soft but deep laugh was heard through the phone. The sound made you giggle. Hearing such a tough guy laugh the way Corpse laughs, made you feel giddy. “So about what I said earlier, I meant it.”
“Huh, what are you talking about?” You truly were a little lost by this.
Corpse laughed again. “When I called you cute earlier. I meant it.”
Heat filled your face and a small smile made its way to your lips. “Thank you, Corpse. That’s really sweet of you. I don’t like to show many people who I am because they will immediately connect me to Olivia, and I don’t want that.”
“I get that. I don’t show my face for fear they won’t like me when I do. All my fans have built up this expectation of what they want me to look like and now I just don’t want to let them down. Plus it’s nice being able to stay anonymous if I go into public, but of course people will hear my voice and know. Shit, it’s hard.”
“Awe, I’m sorry. I saw what the attention has done to some people, but I think not everyone goes into that headspace. Also, I think you should stay faceless if it makes you feel better. There is no rule that says you ever have to show your face. People who push you to do it have no boundaries.”
Corpse was quiet for a while and you thought you had offended him. “I’m sorry if I said the wrong thing, Corpse.” You squeaked.
“No, you said the right thing. I was just thinking. You’re right. A lot of people have been on me to reveal my face, but I never intend to. I want to be able to live my life without being swarmed by fans, or god forbid, them judging me by my appearance.”
“Which is really fucked. When I first appeared in my sister video, the comments were awful. They couldn’t understand how she was related to me, but I never thought I looked bad. But I guess they expected Olivia to be surrounded by people in her genre. It was so hard to see those comments.” Thinking back to it, Olivia had even added to it. Telling you that you should have tried to look more like her for the video. You should have worn something more colorful and put-on way more make up then you liked. But you hated that. That wasn’t you.
“I can’t imagine the things they said. Is that why you deactivated your twitter?” How did he know about that?
“Oh, yeah. How did you know about it?”
“I remembered seeing a story about it on YouTube last year. They didn’t show your face, so of course I didn’t know it was you. But I figured it out when Olivia joined the game tonight and she blabbered on about being your sister. I’m sorry you received that hate. No one deserves that ever.” His voice was calming you now.
“Thank you. Olivia seemed to add to it, as well. Fuck, she’s just the worst person.” Family definitely had the ability to be shitty. “Meeting Poki last year really was the best thing. But also joining this Among Us group has been so good for me. Thank you for accepting me.”
“Of course. You’re a natural in the game but you also fit very well with the group.” Corpse really hoped you believed him because this was true. The group had a whole conversation about it when Olivia finally left
“I’m flattered. The Corpse Husband is telling me I fit in with him and his streamer friends. Wake me up, I must be dreaming.” You knew his words were genuine because it was just easy to tell.
“You better believe it, baby, because it’s true.”
You stopped short when you heard him call you baby. Of course Corpse had used that word before but right now it felt more intimate.
Letting out a yawn you realized it was nearing 4 am. “I appreciate it.” You mumbled, feeling the events from the day seep in.
“You’re tired, aren’t you?” His deep voice was lulling you closer to sleep.
“No.” Another yawn broke through.
“You can’t lie to me, Y/n. Get some sleep and we will talk tomorrow.”
The words made you smile. “That sounds good, Corpsie. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight, sweet girl.” Despite wanting to stay on the phone, you hung up. Sleep was quickly coming in to claim you. You can happily say you fell asleep with a huge smile on your face.
**
Waking up was easier than it had been in a long time. Normally you woke up to Olivia screaming at you or someone else. So it was nice to wake up to silence. It allowed you to relax and wake up properly.
Your phone buzzed from beside you. A text from Corpse is what you first saw, so you opened it.
Corpse
Good morning, sweet girl. I hope the night treated you well.
Sweet and to the point. His messages made you think he had a thing for you. Well you hoped he did but he also could just be treating you the way he treats friends.
Y/n
Yes, I slept well and for once I wasn’t awoken by my obnoxious sister.
It would he good not to live with her.
Corpse
I bet. Hey I hate to be the one to show you this, but your sister posted this on her instagram.
He then sent a link to the post. It made your blood boil.
::::
There was a picture of her, she was holding up a ripped picture of you. A huge frown was on her face.
oliviaxoxo It’s a shame when family starts to treat you like you weren’t the one to give them money when they needed it. This is my sister and she’s a bitch. For the last few years, she’s been the one editing my videos. Well I found out she was trying to sabotage me, so I had to fire her and kick her out. What a shame it is when family stabs you in the back. 🙃🙃

queenolivia Sueeee herrrrr!
lovinliv Family ain’t shit. Spill her info so we can drag her.
sykkuwu Whoa, why are you spreading lies about your own family?
|
queenolivia Why would you defend someone like that?
valkyrea You’re such a sad human for doing this. Stop lying.
pokimanelol Let’s see, none of this is true. Your sister has done so much for you and you’ve never appreciated it. Get some help for this.
corpse_husband This is sick. No wonder your name is always blasted everywhere. Do your sister a favor and stop talking about her.
|
oliviaxoxo I don’t know why you’re defending my stupid sister, but that totally makes you not hot to me anymore. Ugh.
|
valkyrea Uh, that’s what you got from this. Wow, you’re not worth this.
|
corpse_husband What can you expect? The covid must have gone to her brain.
|
corpseandlivfan Whyyyyyyy Corpse, why would you stand up for her. Do you not realize how horrible Y/n is? Please tell me this is a joke!?!?
|
corpse_husband Well, she’s a good friend of mine and I won’t let people make up lies. So it’s not a joke.
::::::::
You were mad that she’d even say this shit publicly, but you should have known she would. She was nothing without her group of misguided followers.
Y/n
Can’t say I’m not surprised. This is so on brand for her. Thank you for sticking up for me. It means a lot.
Corpse
I would do it any day. She shouldn’t be able to get away with doing that to you.
Sadly, growing up, she did get away with doing the absolute worst shit and you always received the brunt of it.
Y/n
With any luck, she draws negative attention.
You clicked the link to view it again but instead were lead to a page that said the content was unavailable.
Y/n
I believe she just deleted the post.
Corpse
Oh, she did. That’s awesome.
It was. Olivia was never one to swallow her pride and admit any wrongdoings. That means she would never delete a problematic post, but she finally did
Y/n
I didn’t really read any other comments besides you and your friends and the top comments. I can’t imagine what her fans are really saying.
Olivia was completely okay with letting her fans attack people. It was seriously a huge mess. She fell into the category of YouTuber with the worst most entitled attitude.
Corpse
It’s good you didn’t read them, because they were horrible. I can’t believe she would let her fans do that.
Y/n
She’s done a lot of shady stuff. This is even before she blew up on YouTube. There is a lot of issues between us.
There was a lot that could be said about your relationship with Olivia and none of them were good. Forever it seemed, you had tried to make it work and hoped your sister would grow up and change but it never happened.
Corpse
I think she’s a vile human. From what I have seen and her complete lack of human decency, I just can’t help but feel she’s just not a good person and she never will be.
He was right. She would never change.
Y/n
You’re right. Hey, I have to go thank Poki for letting me stay but I also need to go back to that apartment to get the rest of my stuff. Can I call you when I get back?
Corpse
Yes, of course. Good luck heading over there.
Talking to him was pretty natural feeling. It was clear now that you were getting a massive crush on him. You had a crush on a man who’s face you’ve never seen. You couldn’t help it though, his personality just meshed so well with yours. He’d made you feel safe and wanted.
After getting dressed, you found Poki in the kitchen making breakfast. She sent you a sweet smile when you entered the room.
“Thank you for standing up for me against my sister on Instagram.” You were truly honored this group of friends liked you enough to do something like this.
“You’re welcome. I couldn’t just let her say that and get away with it. She’s done a lot to you, that you don’t deserve. Corpse messaged all of us the minute he found it and we all jumped into action. Sean and Felix were getting ready to comment when she deleted it.” She explained as she set a plate in front of you.
“I’m so honored. Thank you!”
“Of course, you’re one of us now and we will never let her get away with this stuff anymore.”
You could just cry with how loved they were making you feel. This is what had been missing in your life. Friends who genuinely cared about you and wanted to protect you from the nasty stuff Olivia was capable of doing.
“Would you come with me to the apartment to get the rest of my stuff?” You asked once the two of you finished eating.
Poki nodded. “Of course I will. You shouldn’t have to go alone.”
**
An hour later, you exited the elevator on the floor where you once resided. Your sister wasn’t home, which would be good but there was a chance she could return while you were packing. But you would deal with that when it came down to it. The two of you quickly got to work, packing your life up into the boxes you’d brought with you. Luckily, you weren’t one to collect a ton of stuff. You mainly just had to make sure your clothes and makeup were packed up.
You and Poki would fill boxes and pile them by there door, then you would take them down to the car when you acquired a good amount. In the end, you figured you would fill maybe 10 boxes which is actually not too many considering you’ve lived in that apartment for five years.
Poki had left to go take two more boxes to the car while you finished up packing up your last few items. The front door closed, and you assumed it was Poki, but it wasn’t.
“Oh look who’s here? My lovely sister.” Olivia’s voice was flat and emotionless.
You rolled your eyes and turned to find her standing in the doorway, glaring at you. “Hello, Olivia. I’m just packing my stuff and then I’m leaving.”
“Who said you were allowed to come back here?” She grumbled, eyeing the boxes.
“Well, this is my stuff and I have every right to come pick it up.”
“If it’s in my apartment, it clearly belongs to me.” She snarled.
You snapped. “Cut it out, Olivia. This was my apartment too, until you kicked me out last night. You can’t just claim my stuff as your because you’re salty about me having friends.” She was a spoiled brat, and you were done letting her get away with it.
“I’m not the salty one. Everyone can see it’s you.” God she was so annoying. You taped up the last box and turned to her. She held her phone in her hand. “Everyone say hi to my sister. You know, the one I posted about earlier before someone reported my post.”
“Are you live?” You asked, keeping your face expressionless. Olivia would do this.
“I bet some of you remember the few videos I did with her. Well of course that was before she turned against me and decided she was going to try and ruin me. Say hi, Y/n.” A sick smile played on her face.
“I never consented to being in your live, Olivia. Please stop.” You tried to keep your voice calm so that she wouldn’t have any way to make you look like the bad person. But regardless, she was already doing it.
Olivia cackled. “Well I think I’m free to do as I please in my apartment.” You could only imagine what her fans were saying. “You’re right, Andrea, she is an idiot, and I should have her arrested.” She spoke aloud making your blood boil.
“You’re so immature, Olivia.” You grumbled before grabbing the last couple boxes and moving towards the door. Olivia decided to swat the boxes out of your hand, and they fell tumbling to the ground. “What the hell, Olivia. I could have fragile stuff in there.” You growled at her.
Olivia was just laughing. “This is funny. What else should I do, guys?” She asked as she panned the phone around the room.
Her immaturity was giving you a headache. Poki walked in and saw Olivia.
“Oh hey guys, look who’s here. Pokimane.” She panned the camera to Poki who frowned. Olivia just laughed and started talking shit until she was cut off by the stream just ending. “What the hell.”
You gathered the last few boxes, and Poki came to help while Olivia attempted to start another live.
“What the fuck, it won’t let me go live.” She growled while stomping her foot like a child.
“That’s what happens when an influx of people report your live.” Poki spoke as you both had gathered the boxes.
Olivia was frowning. “What did you do, Y/n.” She wanted to pounce at her, but Y/n and Poki were already at the door.
“Y/n did nothing, but I got word of your little livestream and contacted some friends for help. It will be at least 24 hours before you can have another live. But with the amount of people who reported you, well you may be banned for a while.” With that, you and Poki left Olivia standing there is absolute shock.
You and Poki put the last boxes in the car. “Thank you, Poki. How did you get so many people to report it?”
“Well it was actually Corpse. He texted me and informed me that she was doing a live and bothering you. He had his fans go report it, but apparently Sykkuno and Rae also sent their fans. I was going to send mine, but they had it handled. So this was all Corpse.” She explained.
Hearing this made you feel so soft for Corpse. “Awe wow. That’s so sweet of him.”
The two of you entered the car. “Y/n, can I tell you something without you telling him I told you?”
You looked over at her. “Yes, sure.” Your heart rate kind of picked up.
“Well the other day, Corpse admitted he has feelings for you, but he wasn’t completely sure if you felt the same way for him. But I mean I can clearly see you do. Your whole face just lit up when I mentioned him. So do you?”
Heat filled your face and you suddenly felt shy. “I do, yes. Which is ridiculous because I just met the guy, and I don’t even know what he looks like. But gosh, I like him so much. When I talk to him, I feel happy. He’s been so good to me through this crap with Olivia.” You admitted, knowing she already knew.
Poki smiled and squealed in complete happiness. “You two are just the most adorable people! It’s not ridiculous. We pretty much knew from the first time you joined us, that Corpse was into you. But oh my god, you’re into him. You need to tell him!!!!”
You agreed, Corpse deserved to know. “I do. But how? It’s been a really long time since I’ve told someone I liked them. Shit, I feel like I’m in high school again!”
This made Poki giggle. “Calm down, Y/n. I have a plan. Let’s get back to the apartment and we will talk about this. Rae also wants to be involved in this.”
Back at her apartment, you had jumped onto a call with Rae and the three of you talked about what your plan was for you to tell Corpse what you felt for him. Rae and Poki decided to organize an Among Us game strictly for fun and no one would stream, they would also use Proximity chat.
“So we will get him to follow you around until one of us is imposter, then we will lock you into wherever you end up. Do it then” Rae explained sounding so excited.
“Okay, that can work. Let’s do this!” You were nervous but also excited to finally do something good for yourself.
You and Poki set up for the gane and Corpse sent you a text.
Corpse
Are you joining the game tonight?
Seeing a text from him, made you feel giddy.
Y/n
Yep I am. So I will see you in game?
Corpse
Yes you will, angel.
Cue the insane butterflies.
**
The lobby loaded and it was you, Corpse, Poki, Rae, Sykkuno, Karl, Tina, Sean, Toast, and Leslie. All streamers you had grown to like a lot in the time you have been playing with them.
“Y/n, I am so happy you’re playing with us!” Tina gushed as her little character ran around yours.
“I’m happy to be here.” You really were.
“You’re sister is a piece of work, Y/n.” Sykkuno said.
You giggled. “Don’t I know it.”
“What did she do this time?” Sean asked.
“Decided to film a live when we went to get Y/n’s stuff from the apartment.” Poki explained.
“Oh, that’s gross.” Karl commented.
“I have to thank Corpse for helping.” You stated to the group.
“Yeah Corpse was quick to text us.” Sykkuno added.
“You’re welcome, Y/n. I wasn’t going to let her get away with what she was doing. Truth is, I got a bunch of fan DMs that were telling me what Olivia was doing. So a lot of my fans were already reporting it, but the tweet helped.” Corpse’s deep voice soothed you.
“I appreciate it so much. She was just being an immature brat as always.”
The group laughed before deciding to start the game. Poki and Rae agreed to text you when either of them were imposter. Now it was a matter of getting Corpse to follow you.
The group was on the Polus map, which seemed to be a favorite for everyone.
Rae
We should lock them in weapons.
Rae had texted you and Poki through the group text.
Poki
That’s the best place for them.
Y/n
Okay but I still have to get him to follow me.
Rae
He will. Just wait, I have a plan.
You trusted Rae and Poki to help you. Now it was time to admit it all to Corpse and hope he genuinely liked you back.
