Falling For The Raven || Corpse Husband X Reader

Chapter 17

Y/N's Perspective ~

It's the day of the stream - our first stream in ages, and Corpse calls me as soon as he is sitting at his pc (straight after leaving my house in a rush for prestream).

"I'll start my prestream in a few minutes, I think." I say across the phone. It's weird hearing his voice reverberate through the phone line, instead of hearing it in person.

I remind myself that he's literally next door.

I hear Corpse chuckle, "Yeah, me too. It'll be really fucking weird to stream again after such a long break."

I grin, "It really will be. It'll be good to get back to our fans though - I'm excited."

After a while of talking, and wanting to just go over to his house and cuddle, I finally hang up reluctantly as the stream looms ever closer.

Time to start streaming.

I open twitch and set up my OBS, which I add the 'stream starting soon' screen, and the Wii theme music - just because it reflects my permanent mental state.

I wait as people start to join the stream, and start to freak out a little bit at the overwhelming views. I try to calm myself down, then remember the dramatic increase in views is because of my meetup with Corpse. Little do they know...

I get up to grab myself a drink and sit back down at my pc; my comfortable gaming chair seems to absorb my weight in a warm feeling. Much like Corpse's arms.

"What the fuck - stop thinking about him." I murmur under my breath, shaking my head in embarrassment.

All I find myself doing recently is missing Corpse while he's literally just down my lane. I have a problem...

I turn my mic on, remembering that I actually need to start streaming. "Hey guys!" I say into the mic.

Chat speeds up at the sound of my voice, and I smile. Even though I get anxious pretty easily, it's nice to have my amazing fans back. I missed them.

"I missed you guys!" I smile, and chat spams 'we missed you too!'

"Okay, I'm gonna join the group chat now and get the among us lobby code." I say after thanking some subs.

One name stands out to me in the chat.

Corpse_Husband.

"Wait– Corpse, what are you doing in my stream? No, get out!" I chuckle, my cheeks reddening dramatically.

I join the voice call, and see that Corpse is in it already. I take my chance.

"Corpse - why the fuck are you watching my stream?" I laugh.

Corpse does his adorable laugh, and I seem to die right there. "Just chillin'." He chuckles.

I grin, and reply, "Well you better get out. The game's gonna start soon."

Corpse just laughs, and then murmurs, unfortunately loud enough for everyone on stream and the call to hear, "Yeah but I miss you..."

I blush intensely, and scratch the back of my head. There's an awkward silence and Corpse seems to realise what he's done.

"Riiiight. Everyone I'm gonna send you the code." Jack says, much to my appreciation at breaking the awkward silence.

I get a message on my phone then, and open my texts to see C/N has sent a message.

- Sorry baby, I didn't think before I spoke. I also have an idea for the stream..

I frown, reading the text, and then reply.

- Should I be worried? XD And seriously don't worry. It doesn't matter <3

I smile and then realise I haven't spoken to my chat in ages.

I thank some subs to fill the gaping, omnipresent silence that threatens to absorb the room.

After a while of talking with the group and having a good catch-up in the dropship, we finally decide to start the game.
