Fate: Love or Host (Reader x Minx x Nihachu x Puffy)

Chapter 6: Round Five [Part 1]

"Minx!"

"Minx, no!"

"Minx, wait!"

But it was too late- The Irish queen was gone.

You fell back against your chair in a state of shock. You couldn't believe it- Minx had chosen host. Sure, when past candidates were revealed as hosts it had stung, but this cut you to the core.

Minx had been one of your favorite content creators from the very beginning. Actually, it was her zany sense of humor that had inspired you to start streaming. Over the years, your affection towards the Irish queen grew, your desire for friendship only increasing with each month.

To put it simply, Minx had been your platonic crush. Her unintentional rejection of your feelings tore at the walls of your heart like a clumsy dagger. You were depressed, but for the sake of the show, you'd carry on.

"Well, that was a turn of events, wasn't it?" Austin said, echoing the thoughts of the other players. "Minx chose host. Wow. I did NOT see that coming. Because we only have a few candidates left, we'll go back to eliminating one streamer every round. Minx was it for last round, so let's get started with round five!"

As an upbeat song played over the voice call, your mind wandered over to who remained: Eret, Nihachu, Wilbur, and Puffy. You could only hope that this time around, your feelings, however platonic that they were, were not rejected.

"Alright! For round five, we'll be discussing toxic character traits," Austin continued. "What is it about you that others might see as bad? Is it how you talk? How you drive? Let us know by sharing your thoughts."

The topic certainly peaked your interest. This would be a great way to know the last few players, you figured. If someone was obviously more selfish than the others, then it would be make sense to eliminate them; you hoped it would be that easy.

"Wilbur!" Austin exclaimed. "You go first. What is one toxic character trait about yourself?"

The British streamer snorted and replied, "Well, I do like to pick on Tommy as a joke. I just love to watch the little gremlin cry." He laughed, but waved his hand to disregard his last statement. "No, no. He's more like a brother to me," Wilbur clarified. "It's all in good fun."

"Y/n, you better watch out for this one," Eret warned. "Wilbur picks on small children. That doesn't look too good."

Wilbur scoffed. "Tommy is seventeen years old! He is barely a child anymore! And Y/n, I would neverpick on you- I swear."

You tapped your fingers knowingly on your chin. "I don't know, Wilbur. You called Nihachu 'short' a few rounds ago. How am I supposed to trust you after that?"

Nihachu gasped. "You're right, Y/n! I forgot about that!" Her face scrunched up in the cutest angry expression you had ever seen, as she stated, "The average height for a German woman is five feet and five inches, and I'm five feet and six inches. That makes me taller than the average German woman!"

I'm really sorry for the short chapter today, but it's all I can fit in! I went to go visit some ducks today, I had to catch up on my Read 4 Reads, and my family had a movie night. All of that pretty much took up the whole day.

Ily all and have a great day/night! :DDD
