TWO

daniel
you could've called
you know i'll always answer if it's you.

corbyn stared at his screen feeling unwanted butterflies soar in his stomach. he sent that message last night long after he fell asleep with his head on jack's lap. the two were still on the couch, only this time, jack was on top of corbyn's body, fast asleep, and absolutely content.

corbs
i know but i didn't want to distract you
we can always call before zach's stream
speaking of, you should probably announce that you'll be on his stream. unless you want it to be a surprise

daniel's reply was instant.

daniel
not really
i'll tweet it out later

corbyn turned his phone off and let it fall to the floor. he knew he had to wake jack up soon. his first class was around noon, but he had to get dressed, eat and make it over to zach's house so they could do the lesson together.

but until then, he continued to hold his best friend.

"i'll be back in like, three hours. we're gonna get lunch at café rio after class, you want anything?" jack asked corbyn before he started his stream up.

"i'm good. thanks though." he smiled, clicking on the go live button. jack bid his farewells to both him and the stream, leaving him alone with nearing 200k people. "hi guys. not gonna do a big thing today, i was just bored and wanted to stream."

donations, per usual, were only a dollar. of course, some people gave him more than a dollar, but to start it off, it was only a dollar. if he got an overwhelming amount of money, he raised the price.

the first donation came in: zach stream when?? dummy didn't give us a time

"5 pm central." he said while starting up a new world. "mainly cause jack and zach are in class right now and they'll be back around 3, and it's a reasonable time for daniel."

corbyn started to run around in the new world, hitting a few trees to get some wood while he waited for the donations to roll in. he looked over at his other screen monitor where his discord was, seeing the spam of messages from a few of his friends.

zach stream??? since WHEN

corbyn let out a small giggle. "since he announced it on saturday."

he glanced back over at discord. a warm, fuzzy feeling erupting throughout his entire body.

daniel
corbsssss
i'm calling i'm bored and depressed college sucks i'm calling rn(((((:

and before he knew it, daniel was calling him. the warm and fuzzy feeling only grew as he accepted the call. knowing daniel always turned to him when he felt down or anxious made him giddy inside. knowing daniel trusted him enough. even though he's never seen corbyn face. he trusted him and that was enough for the brunette.

"hello?"

"hi!" daniel's voice rang through. "you just started the stream?"

"i did. what's up with you?"

"ah you know, the usual. failing test after test and not being able to do anything about it."
