In the Gang (Sapnap x reader)

secrets (1)

You yawn, looking over at your phone which had fallen off your bed while you were sleeping. You reach to pick it up, a pain shooting down your back, maybe doing two 12 hour streams in a week did have some downsides. You sigh and get up, noticing it's already 11:00 am. You throw your phone back down and stare at the ceiling, you have to stream again today, otherwise Alex will beat your ass.

You reluctantly get out of bed, smoothing out the sheets and patting your pillows so they are shaped right. Making your bed every morning was one of the only things making you feel like you had control in your life. You grab a hoodie and sweats and head over to the bathroom. You gently turn the knob of the shower, not in the mood for it to break for the 100th time. Sure living with Alex is fun, but this bitch won't spend his money on anything other than food. You let the warm water run over your skin, no matter how many times you've streamed, you always get nervous. The warm water calms you down a bit and you head over to the kitchen.

"Morning dickhead! Did you enjoy sleeping in and missing Karl's stream?"

Shit, that's right. You were supposed to play chess with Karl on his alt. To be fair, you actually get energy from sleep rather than 4 cans of monster a day.

"Holy fuck, that's the third time now. You think he's gonna be mad?"

You say stuffing the piece of toast he made for you into your mouth. You honestly did feel bad, Karl had been asking you to play for so long now and you keep sleeping through it. But to be fair, you have to balance streaming and college, he can't be mad at that right?

"You know Karl, he can't stay mad for longer than five minutes. Plus, he's always had a soft spot for you since his mom loves you"

Alex makes a kissy face at you, he can't take himself seriously when talking about anyone's mom, let alone Karl's. The one time you met Karl's mom, she instantly said that you were her favourite friend of Karl's. You walk over to Alex, walking like your muscles are too big for you to move properly. You give him a swift punch to the shoulder.

"That's right, bow down to me, the favourite of Karl's mother dearest. You shall pour me a glass of orange juice!"

You stick your chin up, hands on your hips pretending you have a cape behind you. Alex kicks the back of your knee, causing you to fold on yourself while he runs away. You get up, smirking as you chase after him, tackling him to the ground. You guys wrestle for 5 minutes until Alex finally gives up, laughing as you let go of his ankles. He goes to the kitchen and pours some orange juice, looking you dead in the eyes as he takes a large gulp.

"You're dead!!"

You run towards him and he dodges you, causing you to run into the fridge and knock a few magnets off. He laughs as he walks towards your shared office. You look up at the clock and realize you only have 20 minutes until you have to be on Tommy's stream. Of course the kid had to stream the day after your 12 hour stream.

(These will always signify a time skip)

"Omg I'm exhausted" you say looking over at Alex "I haven't had a stream where I was that hyped in a while"

Alex nods, looking back at his cursed drawing he now has to buy as a shirt.

"The audience absolutely loved you today! Didn't know you could be funny"

You glare at him, getting up and cracking your back. You start to head towards the door deciding to leave him confused at your lack of comeback.

"You're just gonna let me win? Are you sick, dying? Did aliens abduct you??"

He gets up and starts poking at your arm and forehead. You let a small laugh slip and he smirks.

"I'm not making dinner for you tonight"

You turn and slam the door in his face and run to the kitchen laughing. Food was his baby and you just broke his little heart.

"You're gonna regret that!"

You hear Alex walk slowly with heavy footsteps towards you and you get ready to beat him in yet another fight.

------

You look at Alex, noticing he's looking at you weird, like he wants to say something, but he just sits there in silence.

"Alex? Is there anything I can do for you sir, you look awfully confused"

You say mocking a British accent. He looks away, trying to piece his words together.

"Can I ask you something? Don't think I'm weird for it though."

You nod, giving him a reassuring smile. What could he possibly ask you that you would think is weird. You've been living with this guy for two years now, you've literally held his hand that one time he had explosive shits after doing a spicy chip challenge. Sure you had your hood over your eyes and your other hand covering your ear, but you still did it.

"Do you... well, do you have something going on with Nick?"

You snap out of your thoughts, taken aback by his sudden question. Guess there is something weirder than explosive shits. How do you even answer this, I mean ya, you've had feelings for Nick since that one chess stream. I mean, it was just you and him, calm music and a chess website. Everytime he giggled you knew you were falling. When he made a joke, knowing exactly how to make you laugh. I mean it was impossible for you not to fall in love. But Alex can't know that right? He can't know you're in love with one of his best friends.

"Oh... uh. No, there's nothing going on. Why do you ask?"

He looks at you, doubt in his eyes and takes a deep breath. You brace yourself for one of his rants, knowing you'll have to put the pieces all together in your brain. God, Alex was an idiot when it came to story telling.

"Well I don't know. I mean I know your characters on the SMP are supposed to be really close and stuff, but there's something real about it I guess. Look, when you did that one chess stream a while back, you were giggling, you don't ever giggle. Plus! When you did that lore stream I literally witnessed you blushing. I thought I was just making things up, but the way you guys were interacting on Tommy's stream just shouted chemistry. So maybe you don't have something going on with him, but do you... have feelings for him?"

He looks at me, failing to hide the excitement behind his eyes. Maybe he wouldn't care if you spilled your love for Nick out? You decide against that, but you have to tell him something. You're tired of Clay being the only one that knows about your feelings.

"I mean, ya. I'm honestly surprised you didn't ask me earlier, I feel like I'm not subtle with flirting at all"

He looks at you and you already know you now have hours of questions to answer. He picks up his phone and looks down at it, flipping it to show you his notes are open and ready to be filled. You're gonna have a long night ahead of you.

"Anything else?" you yawn, scratching your head.

"No, I don't think I could even handle more. I can't believe you've liked him for six months and didn't tell me! You told Clay over me, your bestest friend!"

He sticks out his lips, trying hard to pout while containing his laughter. You nudge his shoulder causing him to dramatically fall to the floor. He sticks out his tongue pretending to be dead. You drop a pillow on his face.

"I swear if you tell a single soul about this, I will post that picture of your hair"

You shake your phone infront of his face, laughing as you head to your room to study.

"You have my word, it may be a dead persons word, but you can trust that"

You sigh, letting yourself laugh at Alex being a dumbass. He honestly seems more excited about you liking Nick than you are. It's honestly really nice seeing him be so supportive. Maybe being in love with one of your best friends isn't that bad.

A/N 🤪

So that's the chapter. Like I said this is my first try so give me as much criticism as you can. I'm not 100% sure how long this will be or how often I'll update it but I plan on having relatively frequent updates.
