After I went upstairs, the house seemed to get quiet. Kuno must be bored. The chair dipped down as I sat in it. I started the stream and went into the discord server. It seemed to be silent as well. Until I spoke a single word.

"Hey."

"Oh, hey Corpse." That name hurt me to hear. I liked Alec much better. I have no idea why, but when Sykkuno said my name, it was like angels came down to bless me. Valkyrae stayed silent.

"Hey, Corpse!" Said Toast.

"I have a question for all of you before we start the game." Everyone who needed to be here was on the server.

"So the other day, you guys were playing with Kuno..." I trailed off, seeing if they knew where this was going.

"Yeah..." They agreed.

A sigh passed through my lips. "I was scrolling through TikTok the other day and Kuno was asking very politely that you not kill him every round. That you would have some mercy on him. His voice seemed to be soft and polite. Yet, all of you yelled at him. Because when he was the imposter the other rounds, he killed you. Now, don't get me wrong, I don't think he should have said that. Kuno is sensitive. Trust me. I know. He's very sensitive when comes to these things, so when you all yelled at him, at the same time. He turned off his camera during his stream. So, I would like you all to apologize to him next time you either see him or play with him again. Anyone who hurts Kuno doesn't deserve to be his friend." Maybe apart of me knew I was going a little overboard, but it needed to be said. I couldn't let Sykkuno be hurt like that. It's like watching someone cut themself and not saying anything.

I listened as they went silent. "Corpse...I..." I could hear the regret in Jack's voice.

"Yeah, It doesn't matter so let's start the game. Let's have a good time. Okay?"

"Okay, Corpse." James's voice wasn't hyper like it usually was. I probably brought the vibe down.

After an hour's worth of playing, and my door suddenly opened. A small gasp escaped my lips. Sykkuno hurried over and whispered in my ear, asking where the laundry room was. I whispered right back, the directions. Before he left, I pulled back, apparently too hard because he fell right into my lap.

The whole situation sent sparks flying through my body. Sykkuno picked himself up from my lap, smiled, and closed the door.

I heard a voice speak through the call.

"So Corpse, was that Sykkuno? Did he just call you a good boy?" I looked back at Sykkuno, and he looked at me.

"Shit!" I grabbed my hair, realizing I wasn't on mute on the Discord call, nor did I mute in my stream.

Sykkuno bust opens the door, and our eyes met. Honestly, they were beautiful to look at. Especially when he looked scared. Wait...

He waved over to me, and I made sure to mute myself this time. I closed the door and ran my hand through my hair. "What are we going to do now?! Do you know how fast your fans get things like that on TikTok. People probably already made youtube videos." Sykkuno's voice was raised, almost like I was watching one of his first videos. It wasn't too pleasant either.

I scratched my head. "Maybe, no one was paying attention. Maybe, I-... I'm so sorry. I probably ruined your career. You should probably just go home now. Forget about the Minecraft mod. I knew something bad would happen." I leaned against the wall feeling angry, depressed, sorry, and sad all at the same time. It was like a wave of emotion just ran through me. I didn't know how to handle it.

I watched as Sykkuno's face soften into a smile. "Hey, sorry I yelled. I just get frustrated in situations like this." I felt warm hands on my cheek. I looked up and saw his eyes starring right back into mine. "Maybe people won't make a big deal about this. Maybe they'll be fine with it. I'll explain everything in a stream when I get back. You didn't ruin my career. I was the one who was reckless and spoke to you." Before I could say anything, he raised his heels and kissed my forehead. He dusted off my shoulders and picked up the laundry. "I'll be leaving now, call me when you're done." He walked to the end of the hallway and turned right, just like I told him to.

I closed the door to the room, and a sigh of relief escaped me. My hand slowly reached up to Sykkuno's kiss. I took my fingers and planted them on my lip. He...kissed my forehead...I haven't felt this happy in a long time. It feels like a weight has been lifted.

I shook my head and sat back down in my chair. Calm down. I mean, it was probably nothing. Friends do that, right? Yeah. Okay.

I unmuted and looked at the game. Someone decided to kill me while I was away from the computer. Real mature. After it was done, I stood up and stretched. I took off my shirt leaving it on the ground. I remembered Sykkuno just cleaned the room. I picked it up, bringing it outside. I walked into the laundry room and saw Sykkunno on his phone. Laughing and smiling. He was too cute. "What are you doing here?" I asked.

He looked up, startled by my voice. "I'm waiting for the rest of your clothes." He looked up from his phone and paused. I could hear him gulp. I don't know if it was the fact that I had more clothes in my hand or if I was shirtless. "D-Do you have more c-clothes." He quickly turned his head back down to his phone, giving me occasional glances.

I smirked to myself as his eyes moved with my body. Almost tracing every inch of it. I nodded and tossed them in with the rest of the load. Once I was done, I leaned next to him and looked over his shoulder. "I just ran out of groceries, so I'm gonna order tonight. What do you want to eat." I noticed he was scrolling through his fyp.

"What's around here?" He asked in a slightly shaky voice.

"Well, there are pizza places, actual restaurants with finger food, and places like that," I suggested.

"I-I wouldn't want to make you spend too much money on me so I'll just take a slice of pizza if you have it..." He trailed off when a video popped up on his fyp.

It a video of what happened during the stream. Sykkuno looked up at me, worried. I took his phone, turning it off. "Don't look at that let's just order that pizza and get the Minecraft mod going." I smiled and walked out of the laundry room.

He seemed to relax once I was gone. I did just as I planned to and ordered the pizza. I came back upstairs, walking into my streaming room to see, Sykkuno sitting in my chair spinning around. He laughed as he was spinning around, almost like a little kid. It was almost like his laugh was contagious because I started to laugh myself. He looked over, noticing I was there. "A-Alec...sorry, I'll move..." He trailed off, and I pushed his shoulder down.

"Don't worry about it. Now just show me how to get this Mod going." I smiled and leaned on the back of the chair.

"Okay so, it's really quick and easy once you know how to do it, but other than that if you don't you'll be stuck there for hours. First you..." I stopped listening after a while and just stared at him. Do you ever just look at someone and think that you want to give them everything you own, so they could be happy? Sykkuno makes me feel like I exist in this messed up world. He makes me feel heard. His smile lights up the room. His hair is as soft as a cloud, even though I've never touched one. "Alec?"

"Huh? Y-Yeah?" I asked, snapping out of my thought process.

"Did you get all that?" he asked me.

"Yeah." No, I was too busy looking at you.

"Yeah? So it's all set up now." He took his hands off the keyboard and stood up. He stretched, making a cute sound while doing it.

"So, I heard you're moving..." I blurted out.

He paused for a second, and his shoulders relaxed. In a dull voice, he responded.

"Yeah."
