A/N Again I am so sorry to be making another one of these I just wanted to point out that I accidentally left out half of the last chapter.  I have fixed it, but if you missed the TFTSMP feel free to go back and read it, although it is not crucial to the story.

     After Karl ended his stream, I typed a quick, 'great job everyone' into the discord chat.  I wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone and keep up fake conversations.  Things felt weird with Karl and I knew that it was completely on my end, but I still didn't want to mess anything up with him.  I valued our friendship, and I didn't want to start a fight over a stupid bruise to my ego.  If he was willing to ignore the flirting and continue to be friends, I was too.  It's not like I had any real feelings for him.  It was just a dumb crush.

      Although I was exhausted from today, I knew that I was nowhere near sleep.  Feeling lonely, I ventured to Sapnap's room to keep me company.  I gently knocked on his door, alerting him that I was coming in.

     "What's up, Liv?"  He asked me from his computer.  I swear he spent all day there.

     "I missed you."  I whined, coming around behind his chair to kneel down and hug him.  I rested my head on his shoulder to watch what he was doing.

     "Aw, do you want to hang out tonight?  I'm supposed to film a manhunt video with Dream, but you can chill here next to me."  He ruffled my hair.  "Here, let me grab you a chair."

     "No, that's okay.  I'm fine here, if you don't mind."  I stopped him, hugging him tighter.  "I'm feeling clingy tonight, plus I've been sitting all day."

     "Okay!  Maybe when we're done filming we can grab Dream and watch a movie.  A big cuddle pile."  I could see him smiling through the reflection in the monitor, which made me feel a lot better.  Sapnap and Dream felt like my older brothers at this point.  I felt a my phone buzz a few times, but I didn't feel like answering whoever it was.  I was finally getting some quality time with Sapnap, and I didn't want that to be interrupted.

     "That sounds literally perfect.  Who else is in the manhunt?"  I questioned.

     "Me, George, Karl, and Callahan."  Sapnap answered me while entering the discord call.  He left his headphones unplugged so I could hear everyone, and I knew not to talk so loudly that the microphone picked up my voice.  I was surprised to hear that Karl would be in this video, because he had been working all day today.  I wanted to tell him that he should get some rest, but I didn't want to overstep like I did earlier.

     "I don't think I've met Callahan."  I tried to recall the name, but fell short.

     "You haven't.  He never talks or shows his face, just types occasionally."  Sapnap explained to me.

     "Are we ready?"  Dream asked through discord.

     "All good to go!"  George answered for everyone, as the recording started.

     "In this video, four of my friends hunt me down and try and stop me from beating Minecraft.  Can they stop me from beating the Ender dragon?  Or will I survive.  This is Minecraft Manhunt."  Dream ran around, doing his intro.  Sapnap and the other three hunters stayed in the circle patiently waiting for him.  When Dream came back, he stood in the center.

     "I'm so nervous,"  I whispered into Sapnap's ear.  He laughed, nodding his head in agreement. All of a sudden, Dream took off from the center.  It was a chaotic mess of yelling as everyone chased after the little green character.  

     I leaned against Sapnap, getting as close as I could to the screen without blocking his view.  He had made an iron sword, and was chasing after Dream.  Narrowing in on his friend, he took a swing and hit him.  Dream jumped across a ravine, barely making it.  I was so sucked into the video.  "God!  Get him Sap!"  I yelled, forgetting that I had to be quiet.
