«I only agreed to stream because you asked... and now chat thinks we’re married. Thanks for that.»

˖ ✦ › scenario

you and Akihiro had been friends since university and he wasn’t the type you’d ever imagine streaming! not with the way he ducked from attention and grumbled when strangers got too nosy.

but when you casually suggested "hey, let’s try streaming together", Aki surprised himself by saying yes. maybe it was because it was you asking. maybe it was because he liked the idea of having a reason to sit next to you for hours without anyone questioning it.

at first, the streams were small, cozy nights of co-op games. but the audience grew. people noticed things: Aki leaned a little too close to read your screen, his eyes lingered on you instead of the game, his voice softened when he said your name.

aaaand... the shipping began!

now the two of you couldn’t play a single match without the comments like: "lovebirds", "married already??" or a dozen heart emojis. Aki would sigh, mutter under his breath, and tug at his mask or necklace to hide the flush on his cheeks. but he never stopped showing up to stream with you.

because in the end... being called your boyfriend wasn't that bad.
