how about him sleeping in random (possibly dangerous places) and the guys ether join him, pick him up and move him to a better spot, or make it more comfortable so they can join Pezzy
Man's definitely sleeps in the Weirdest places but imo it's much more common for the others to join him! It's rare that it's all of them but at least 1 person will always stay with him! Tho I will say I think Kryoz is almost as bad as him pfff, he's just more likely to fall asleep at his workstations instead.
smii7y is obviously a milkbag. but also cat !!
matt is a frog, duh
puffer is a puffer fish
droid is a wolfdog / some robotic parts
pezzy is a can, also duh
grizzy is a grizzly bear
john is a sunflower with ice in the middle
and yumi is a strawberry but also kind of a rabbit
Your room was lit by LED strips and the glow of your dual monitors, the air filled with overlapping laughter from both your Discord call and chat.
âAlright yâall,â you said, giggling as you dragged another PNG into your cake tier list, âhear me out⌠Markiplier.â
âOh GOD here we go,â one of your friends groaned over Discord.
âNO LISTEN,â you said, raising a hand to quiet the imaginary crowd. âThat man is built like a Greek god and talks like a podcast host. He could be reading IKEA instructions and Iâd be like âyes sir.ââ
Your chat spammed:
THE ARMS đ§ââď¸đ§ââď¸đ§ââď¸
"Hello everybody my name is Markiplier" is a mating call now idc
MARK PLS CALL ME BACK
âI just know he smells like cedarwood and emotional trauma,â you added, sipping your drink.
Meanwhileâunbeknownst to youâHongjoong was taking a break in his studio across town, headphones around his neck, half-watching your stream on mute with the captions on. He had smiled when you started streaming. His heart always warmed seeing you in your element. But that smile disappeared real quick once he read the captions:
"Markiplier could deadass choke me and Iâd pay for the hospital bill myself."
He blinked.
Then, just as he turned the sound on:
âOKAY NEXT: Grizzy. Iâm sorry but that hoodie-and-chain combo? Thatâs a straight-up fold. Like, this is pavement behavior. Heâd call me âgirlâ once and Iâd black out.â
Laughter erupted from your friends. Hongjoong didnât laugh.
He scrolled through the tier list. Smii7y. CoryxKenshin. Pezzy. ElasticDroid.
All ranked. All thirsted over.
You were giggling as you leaned into the mic. âOkay no but real talk? ElasticDroid gives throat demon energy. Like...heâs definitely the reason someone walks funny the next day. And Iâd write a Yelp review about it.â
âOh my god,â one of your friends wheezed.
The rest were dying. Chat was going absolutely feral.
And Hongjoong?
Silent.
Stewing.
You finally ended stream an hour later, exhausted from laughter and wired from sugar and adrenaline. Your friends had come over in-person tooâyour place was a cozy streamer nest, and youâd hosted tonightâs cake chaos like a pro. They hung around for a while, rewatching clips, roasting each other, snacking, and slowly filing out into the night.
âThanks for letting us crash,â one of them said, pulling on their hoodie. âSorry if we made your boyfriend jealous. Heâll live, right?â
You waved them off. âJoong? Please, he doesnât care about stream stuff. Itâs all jokes anyway.â
You closed the door behind them, still laughing.
You didnât hear the second door open.
Not until you turned around, hoodie sleeves pushed up, hands full of half-finished bubble tea cupsâand nearly dropped everything when you saw him.
Hongjoong, standing in the hallway. Keys in one hand. Expression unreadable.
You blinked.
ââŚHey, babe. Youâre home early.â
âEarly?â he echoed, voice soft, deceptively calm. âIâve been watching since Smii7y.â
Your smile wobbled.
ââŚOh.â
He stepped forward, slow and quiet. He wasnât angryâno, that wouldâve been easier. It was the fact he looked completely calm that made your stomach flip.
âYouâve been real loud tonight,â he said. âLots of opinions.â
You swallowed. âIt was contentâyâknow, like a tier listââ
âRight,â he nodded, setting down his keys. âSo when you said youâd let Pezzy âshut you up and ruin you,â that was content?â
Your jaw opened. Then closed.
He walked forward again, crowding you against the kitchen counter. His voice dropped just slightly, barely a whisper. âYou really think ElasticDroid could wreck your throat better than me?â
Your whole body lit up at the heat behind his words. âJoongââ
ââGrizzy in chains makes you fold?ââ he quoted, tilting his head. âYou think anyone on that list could have you making the sounds I pulled out of you last week?â
You felt your knees threaten to buckle.
âThat was stream stuff,â you said quietly.
âOh?â He leaned in, brushing his nose against your cheek. âThen tell me now. Tell me with a straight face that youâd rather have any of them than me.â
Your hands fisted in the fabric of his shirt. âIââ
He didnât let you finish. His hand tilted your chin up, gaze burning into yours.
âTry again.â
And something in you snapped.
You werenât thinking. Just breathing, just wanting. Needing to be pulled apart, dragged to pieces, undone by the one person you knew could ruin you like no one else.
âI want you,â you whispered.
âLouder.â
âI want you, Joong.â
He kissed you hardâdeep and punishingâteeth and tongue and heat. When he pulled back, his thumb swiped over your bottom lip, slick and possessive.
âYou wanna rank me, baby?â he murmured, voice like sin. âIâll make sure Iâm the only one you even remember.â
