(1) Chaotic Neutral -- Corpse Husband

Twelve!

After Alexis hoped in her car, her heart was threatening to pump out of her chest. She kissed Corpse. She kissed Corpse! A huge smile broke across her face and she screamed. She didn't care if her window were down and someone heard her. She stopped at a red light and put her playlist on. She smiled when Home by Phillip Phillps came on first. 

She thought about Corpse; how his lips felt against hers. How warm his body felt. How she instantly melted into his touch. She thought about him holding her up. She couldn't help but blush at the thought. Something had washed over him, and she loved it. It was like, for a split, second, Corpse had every ounce of confidence in the world. And she loved to see it. In no way did she want Corpse to change himself, she loved his shyness and the way she could make him blush easily. But that side of him? That animalistic urge? She shivered at the thought.

She quickly pulled into her driveway, sitting in the car for a few more minutes, letting the next song end, before getting out and heading inside. Because of her job, she was able to buy her own house and had paid off the mortgage two years ago. She had just placed her bag down onto the counter when her phone started to ring. She picked it up and saw Evelien's number, she'd given it to her earlier in the day.

(Evelien talking is in this Alexis talking is in this)
"Hey, Evelien. What's..?" Evelien cut her off.
"You bitch! Why didn't you tell me you kissed him!!" She yelled into the phone, laughing afterwards.
"I didn't get a chance to tell you..."
"No, before that girly. At the Zoo."
"Oh... Yeah... I didn't want to say anything because I didn't want to get my hopes up that we were something we weren't." The girls shared a laugh.
"Alright. You're lucky you're cute."
"I know." Alexis smiled a toothy grin, even though Evelien couldn't see her.

The conversation was quick, but that was because Evelien wanted to return back to her friends. Alexis didn't mind, she wanted to have her own conversation with Corpse. She pulled up his contact and dialled his number.

(Corpse talking is like this Alexis talking is like this)
She heard a chuckle when he answered the call. "Heyyyyy Darling," she chuckled.
"Heyyyyyy Corpse... So... Wanna tell me what you told them?"
"Ummm... I don't know what you're talking about?"
"No? So Evelien had no reason to tear me a new one because I didn't tell her that we kissed first?" She laughed so he knew she was joking.
"Umm... Sorry?" She laughed harder. "Stop laughing at me."
"Oh, I'm sorry Corpse. Am I hurting your feelings? Are you gonna cry?"
"You're an asshole." He chuckled.
"I know. It's one of my best qualities."
"Keep telling yourself that, baby girl. Whatever helps you sleep at night." Alexis found it strange how easily their conversations flowed; it was as if they were destined to talk to each other. Corpse found it strange how similar the two of them were, and it scared their friends from the similarities.
"You're so mean to me. I'm gonna go cry into my pillow while I listen to Taylor Swift now." Alexis made a really loud crying noise directly into the mic.
"You're so loud, Jesus."
"I think you mean Bingus."
"You know Bingus?"
She laughed. "Yup, a lot of people spammed my chats and replies with 'Praise Bingus', so I had to look into it."
"So you've been stalking me?"
"No no no, I ain't a simp you mother fucker. I just... looked into your fans accounts, that's all."
"So researching?"
"Shut up. Don't have your account public if you don't want people looking through it, Corpsey." He laughed.
"Sorry, I'll think about it next time. Just for you, okay?" He laughed, and she couldn't help but let out a giggle.
"Good, glad you learned your lesson."
He paused, shaking his head even though she couldn't see. "You really are a strange person, I hope you know that."
"You are not the first person to tell me that."
"And I'm sure I won't be the last either."
"Look at that, you're right for once."
"Shut the fuck up, Alexis." He chuckled and his voice got deeper. It sent a shock wave through her body just like the first time she'd heard it.
They both stayed silent for a minute before Alexis spoke up. "You know, I think you'd make killer music if you tried." Corpse laughed. "What?"
"I do make music."
"What!? Since when!?"
"I've had a few songs released for a couple of years now..."
"I feel stupid. I don't know why I didn't know."
"It's okay. They're not everyone's kind of music. It's kind of dark and punk. It's like punk meets heavy metal, sorta. It's hard to explain."
"What's one of your songs called? I wanna listen to it."
He hesitated. "I don't know... You might not like them."
"C'mon. Just one. Don't make me go behind your back and deep-dive for them." He laughed.
"Alright, alright." He told her about E-Girls Are Ruining My Life, and she ran to her computer to find it. (Stream it on Spotify, it's almost at 100Mil listens) She quickly searched it into Spotify and clicked on the song. It started with some chain noises, then a heavy beat. Corpse could hear it planning on her computer. She liked it so far. She only got a few lines in when she had to pause it and recollect herself.
"Woah, Corpse."
"That bad?"
"No! I just wasn't expecting that! Not from a cute innocent man like you."
"You think I'm cute?"
"Bastard."
"Bitch." She pressed play again. He laughed into the phone. She pressed play soon after.
"Into daddy issues, Corpsey?" She chuckled, continuing the song. "You got a foul mouth."
"Say's you." She found herself bopping her head to the beat.
When the song was over, she browsed through his Spotify page, hitting the follow button. "I have learned many new things about you." Corpse chuckled, settling into his gaming chair. "So a choking kink, huh?" She paused. "I could learn to like it." Corpse started coughing and she laughed. 
"You... I'm not even going to comment on that..."
"Ha! I've rendered you speechless!" She chuckled to herself before changing the conversation. "I really do like the song. It's catchy."
"I'm glad you think so. It's one of my most popular."
"I saw that. Six hundred million listens. (in the time frame of 2023) Proud of you."
"Thanks." The two of them talked for a few more minutes before Corpse asked her if she wanted to stream with him. He hadn't streamed for a few days, neither had she so she agreed and they hopped onto Minecraft to do some random building.

Alexis hadn't played much Minecraft on stream in the last few months, but she played in her free time when she could. Corpse, however, had only played it a few times and was relatively new to the game. Alexis loaded up her stream, with Minecraft in the background. 

Hello, everyone! I'm streaming a game of Minecraft tonight with the one and the only, Corpse Underscore Husband. It's not like he had much of a choice anyway, I basically forced him😂 The stream will be starting in a few minutes, make sure to tune in!

She had made a new Minecraft world just for the stream. Corpse was already loaded into the game and had started his stream up and had muted himself while he introduced his stream to what he was doing. Alexis did the same.

"Hey, guys! Welcome back to another stream! Today we're playing Minecraft with the Corpse Husband." She read through her chat and tried to answer some questions. "Have you seen Corpse's face? No, I haven't. Nor would I ever ask him to reveal it." Of course, she was lying, but she didn't want rumours to spread. "Would you ever do a face reveal?" She laughed. "I've only been streaming for a month now, and you guys already want a face reveal? To be honest, I really don't know. I like my privacy, as does everyone else, but I don't want everyone to know who I am and where I live and stuff like that." She paused, reading over more comments. "Is your name actually Alex? Yes, it is! Well, it's legally Alexis, but I go by either."

"Ready to start?" Corpse asked, unmuting himself.

"Yup. Alright, so I was thinking we do a quick build kind of thing."

"Alright... What's a quick build?" She laughed.

"Basically, we pick some kind of topic and build something that correlates with it. That cool with you?"

"Sure. It makes sense, anyway. So how do we pick the topic?"

"We can ask the stream?"

That's what they did for several hours. They did six rounds of quick builds, then basically abandoned the idea and switched the play to Survival mode and tried to think of fun ways to kill each other. Even when they ended their streams, they stayed on Discord to talk to one another. It was only when Alexis started yawning that Corpse suggests they get off and go to sleep.

After Corpse hopped off, Alexis crawled into bed and snaked under the covers. She thought about Corpse. About their kiss. She blushed at the thought. 

They were falling for each other, that was obvious to everyone except for the two of them.
