it was thursday night, the night before the show. i sat on the downstairs couch on my phone as the simons watched the dick van dyke show. i heard a yell from upstairs, causing the three of us to laugh at tommy's loudness.
i stood up and excused myself. i went into the kitchen to grab two cokes, and then made my way up the stairs. i walked to the end of the hall and quietly opened the door to tommy's room. i shut it behind me and then stood still in view of the webcam. tommy hadn't noticed my presence, and continued to shout at the game on his monitor. i pursed my lips, trying to suppress a laugh.
"NONO FUCK OFF BUNNY-BITCH. GO BACK TO YOUR SPOT. DO NOT COME HERE I WILL- AA HOLY FUCK!" tommy screamed, a game over screen popping up afterwards. "chat what the fuck do you mean?" he looked to his second monitor as he read the wall of moving text. "look behind you? what? chat are the dogs-"
i waved with a smirk, "hey tom. you havin' fun?"
he groaned, "no fuck off, i hate this game."
i chuckled and walked to him, placing one of the cokes on his desk before i opened my own. "it can't be that bad."
"oh yeah? how about you try then?" he scooted out from his desk, allowing me to take my usual place on his lap. "use the mouse to look around, and flick it up to pull out the tablet."
i nodded and tested the controls out as he continued to tell me what to do. his hands snaked around my waist like always, but this time his forehead rest on my shoulder instead of the usual chin. "aww, you scared? don't want to watch?" i teased with a smile.
"oh fuck off. let me sit like this, its nice." he mumbled from my shoulder.
minutes pass, and the sound of a bell and children cheering fill my ears. "lets fucking go! ez."
tommy looked up and rolled his eyes, "why the fuck are you better than me? you weren't even scared."
i shrugged and leaned into tommy's embrace as i read the chat. it was a mixture of emotes and "y/s/n".
tommy must have seen the chat too, as i felt him smirk and kiss my cheek before speaking, "get up, idiot, i'm doing night 5 on my own."
i smiled and sat on the bed. i got out the laptop and pulled up tommy's stream and muted it so i could read chat. as expected, they were freaking out. it was honestly quite weird that they were a bunch of strangers that wanted two people to get together, but i payed it no mind. since tommy and i were the same age, along with most of tommy's fans, i saw it as harmless fun. no one had crossed any lines yet, and if they ever did, i wasn't afraid to talk about it and tell people to stop.

tommy had given up on the game, and ended the stream. we both sat on his bed doing the same as we tend to always do. i was on the laptop, and he was on his phone. the familiarity of the situation made me feel happy, calm, at peace even. the comfortable silence was broken when tommy laughed, and showed me his phone.
rachel :D @rachelnotfound isn't that tommy's hoodie that y/n is wearing?

the replies on that post were varied. some were saying i was just wearing it because we lived together, but plenty were thinking tommy and i were dating.
"to be honest," i shoved my hands into the hoodie's pockets, "i didn't realize this was yours, it was kinda just in my room."
tommy shrugged, "they really run with whatever they find, huh?"
i chuckled and nodded, "i guess so. i'm stealing this hoodie, though"
he laughed, and scooted over, allowing me to have room on the bed right next to him. i gladly moved, closing the laptop in the process. tommy sat up against the wall, and i rested my head on his shoulder as i clung onto him.
i felt his body vibrate slightly as he hummed a tune. i smiled and listened to him. the peace lasted for a while, until i spoke up.
"do you want to ever actually.. tell them?" i traced my fingers along his chest, drawing circles, smileys, and invisible pictures of happiness.
"i mean, i don't really mind?" he thought for a moment, "they're all pretty respectful, i don't think anything bad would really happen. its up to you."
i hummed slightly and nodded.
"plus," he chuckled, "we aren't even... an exclusive thing yet."
i pursed my lips and continued to draw with my finger, "ты хочешь быть?"
"what was that?" tommy looked to me and tilted his head.
"do you want to be?" i sat up, and stared into his eyes.
he was taken aback, causing him to set down his phone before responding, "i mean-- of course i do, its all up to you, though."
"then lets be an exclusive thing... lets be official." my voice was shaky, as if i felt like he would still reject me.
he smiled and nodded before leaning in to give me a peck on the lips.
