𓃮 || Where Kenma met a famous streamer online and started playing with her more and spending less time with you.

Kenma Kozume had always lived comfortably between worlds—the quiet reality around him and the glowing one behind his screen. Meeting SlyKitty, a well-known streamer whose real name was Lilith, felt effortless in the way only online connections ever did for him. There was no pressure to perform, no expectations beyond playing well and existing side by side in silence or light conversation. She fit neatly into his routine, becoming another constant tab open on his PC, another familiar voice in his headset.

When fanarts and ships started appearing online—illustrations of him and SlyKitty together, usernames mashed into couple names, comments speculating about something more—Kenma noticed them first. He scrolled past them with barely a reaction. To him, it was just internet noise: immature fans, exaggerations, people projecting fantasies onto pixels. He never thought it was important enough to mention. It didn’t feel real, and real things were the only ones he ever thought mattered.

What Kenma didn’t realize was how visible his shift had become. His time rearranged itself around Lilith naturally—longer gaming sessions, more frequent calls, his attention lingering longer than intended. His voice, usually flat and reserved, softened when he spoke to her. Calm. Engaged. Occasionally laughing in a way that was rare, unguarded. You could hear it from across the room—the difference. The way he sounded lighter with her than he did with anyone else.

His gaze followed the screen more than it followed you. Even when you were nearby, Kenma’s focus stayed locked onto Lilith’s voice, her reactions, her gameplay. He listened to her with patience and interest, responding immediately, thoughtfully—while his responses to you grew shorter, delayed, distracted. He didn’t mean to neglect you; it simply didn’t register as neglect to him. To Kenma, he was just doing what felt comfortable.
