The Unexpected (Ranboo x Reader)

Rough night

TW-depressive episode, mentions of stalking and sexual harassment

We finally land in Ontario both Lane and I exhausted beyond belief. We gather our bags from baggage claim and make our way out of the airport. Lane takes an Uber back to her place and I to mine. Since I was 17 turning 18 my parents decided that it was time to get me an apartment of my own. They had helped me pay for it as I was still in college and working a boring 9-5 job. Once I reached my apartment I enter my home and and throw my luggage into the same closet it came out of. I was too tired to even think about unpacking right now so I decide to take a nap. After an hour long nap I hear multiple pings come from my computer. I groggily get up and sit myself at my set up. I open discord expecting to just get many spammed messages from Lane. To my surprise it was friend requests from everyone at the con. A smile grew on my face as my heart filled with hope that this wouldn't be the last time I would talk to these people. I get another Dm on discord and check who it is. Wilbur had messaged me to get into a call. I slowly click on the channel as I hear a loud voice boom through my headset.

"MY MAN HOW WAS THE FLIGHT!!"

I fling my headset off of my head and multiple chuckles erupt through the call. In the call was Tommy of course, Wil, Tubbo, Ranboo, and Alex. I grab my headset from the floor and place it back onto my head.

"The flight was fine Tommy thanks for asking as well as screaming into my ears."

More giggles arise from the other people as it calms down and Wilbur asks me a question.

"Hey Y/N I know Lane said that you don't stream but have you actually considered it?"

I look down to my gaming set up in disappointment as I had actually tried streaming a year ago. Of course it went alright at first but then it got bad. I received harsh messages, threats, and had gotten stalked as well as harassed due to an obsessed viewer. The call goes quiet as I had been stuck in thought remembering everything that had happened. I didn't want to concern the boys more than I probably was already so I break the silence.

"Yeh Ive thought about it. I don't think it's for me."

Tommy buts in with his loud voice.

"Come on you would be great! I bet so many people would enjoy your personality and you could play games with us."

There was a couple of agreeing noises after his comment. I shake my head to myself with a small smile. If only these boys knew how wrong they would be.

"No it's alright. I'm fine with doing a 9-5 with Jared."

There was a chuckle out of Wilbur as I made a reference to his song. Other than that the call goes quiet again. I have nothing else to say to the boys today and I also have to unpack. I tell them a small goodbye and close out of discord. I slump into my chair for a few seconds remembering everything that went on previously. I begin to unpack my clothes as I hear a ping from my phone this time. I check and it's an unknown number that I hadn't put into my phone yet. I assume that it was Wil based on the context.

"Sorry to ask about that. It seemed like a topic you didn't want to talk about. I wanted to say sorry again for bringing it up. Whatever you decide Y/N we will be okay with it. Also thanks for the funny reference."

I smile a bit and respond to the text while putting the number in my phone.

"No you're alright Wil you didn't know. I was going to tell you why I made that choice but I didn't want to be a burden."

I send the message and put my phone down as I finish unpacking and grab a snack. It had been 20 minutes since I sent the text to Wilbur and he hadn't responded. I get a little worried that I had bothered him with the text. I try to ignore it but go back and send another.

"Sorry to bother you Wil. I'm going to be off of my phone for a while. Sorry again."

I put my nearly dead phone onto the charger. I slip back into my bed staring at the ceiling. For the rest of the day it's just emptiness. I don't respond to texts on my phone or calls from my friends as I'm taken back to what I'd experienced. A year ago I had a channel called NightsGarden. I was streaming almost daily with 1k concurrent viewers and everything was going well. One day in April I had gotten a donation while I was playing Minecraft to and I quote "might as well shove your hand in a blender youre so bad.". It was disturbing. I couldnt believe that this person thought I was so bad they wanted me to harm myself. After more and more comments like this came to my stream everyday I began to think they were real. I stopped posting daily and talked very little when I did as to not encourage them. That was when one stream I had an odd message being spammed through chat. After the message was when it got bad. The message said "I know where you live Y/N, seen you at the store last night. Ya seemed pretty lonely." Once I read that message fear rushed through me as I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to inform anyone as I would be a burden but I also didn't know what to do to stay safe. I ended up not going outside for a week. Once I did they found me. I needed to go to the store bad as I had run out of everything. They walked up to me and grabbed my wrist super aggressive.

"So Y/N when are you going to stream again? I missed that handsome face."

Their hand moved up my arm to my face. They cupped my cheek making my face turn towards theirs. I froze and didn't know what to do. I felt so uncomfortable. I finally had the ability to back up, smack their hand away and ran home. I had such a bad panic attack that day that I had almost passed out twice. I had to inform my parents and they made me move. I also deleted everything of my twitch channel off the internet and anything associated with me. That was the worst day of my life. Being reminded of it made me so empty inside. I felt so useless throughout the whole situation and I was so disappointed in myself. After spending what appears to be 5 hours just staring at my ceiling tuning everything out and thinking about that day, a loud knock on the door breaks my thought. I hear yelling through the door once the knocking stops.

"Y/N PLEASE OPEN I KNOW YOURE IN THERE. I JUST NEED TO KNOW IF YOURE OKAY!"

I get up slowly from my bed and walk over to my door. I open it and look to Lane standing in the door way. Apparently I looked terrible. My hair and clothes were a mess, I had tears rolling down my face, and I was shaking profusely. All that Lane did was give me a hug. We sat on my bed and she never asked what was going on. She just wanted me to be alright. I began to fall asleep after having a headache from all the crying and I hear Lane start talking to me in a hushed tone.

"I love you Y/N please get some sleep. You deserve some good sleep. Call me when you wake up."

With that my head hits the pillow and Lane leaves. The sleep I got wasn't necessarily bad but never close to the best, like when I slept in Ranboos room.

Sorry for the trauma in this characters backstory. I didn't just want them to have a regular boring distaste to twitch streaming as it didn't make sense as they enjoyed twitch con. Again I am extremely sorry for all the trauma and angst in this story.
