Open My Eyes (PunzNap)

Chapter 3: Tentative

The next day Sapnap streamed with Callahan as planned. They spent about an hour in the morning trying to think of an idea to do. They finally settled on just playing bedwars together, it was simple but fun. Sapnap kept his facecam off, as he usually does. He was no longer confident streaming with a cam on. It stressed him out and when he's streaming he would rather be focused on his gaming than what his facecam looks like so he chooses to avoid the hassle and not use one at all.

Punz watched the stream. In fact, he made sure to keep checking his phone for the 'Sapnap went live' notification. Call him crazy, but he missed Sapnaps voice after barely even 12 hours. When the notification did finally come up on his phone he was already at his PC. He went to click on twitch but then stopped. He figured he'd give it a few minutes and then join in watching. Not that he thought Sapnap would notice his name in the viewers list but he just didn't want to seem like he was waiting around for the stream, even though that's exactly what he had been doing. He figured now was as good a time as any to go get some food. He thought about just making a quick sandwich but he really did want to kill the first half of Sapnaps stream. So he grabbed his car keys and drove to get takeout. Twenty minutes later he was back at his computer desk with his food. He finished eating in 10 minutes and then finally thought it was acceptable to open Sapnaps stream.

He was just playing bedwars with Callahan. He was slightly disappointed when he saw there was no facecam. He wasn't sure what else he expected, no camera was normal for Sapnap's streams but still a part of him hoped to see his face. He made a mental note to help Sapnap feel more confident on screen. He was very attractive, Punz had no trouble admitting that because anyone who looked at Sapnap would get to that conclusion. However this thought did slightly throw him off. He found himself dwelling more on the fact that Sapnap was attractive. He always thought about it but now he can't stop thinking about it. His eyes were beautiful, his hair, his smile, even his eyebrows. Punz shook his head clear of these thoughts. Why they were coming up now, he had no idea, but he can't say he was repulsed by them. All he really wanted to do with these thoughts is voice them to Sapnap and see his flustered reaction. Most likely flustered because he wasn't used to hearing it and maybe didn't believe it himself. Punz would definitely change that.

He brought his attention back to the stream now playing on his computer screen. 'Callahan!' He heard Sapnap yell when Callahan let their bed get destroyed. He could hear Sapnap's laugh through his headphones and he loved the sound. As cheesy as it sounds, it really was like music to his ears. He would never get tired of hearing Sapnap's laugh. He was also glad that Sapnap had someone like Callahan. Someone who cared about him and could make him happy. Someone else besides him. Callahan definitely didn't care about Sapnap in the same way Punz was beginning to but still. Sapnap had good people in his life and that made Punz content.

Punz was too busy watching the stream that he didn't look at chat until now. There were quite a few people who apparently noticed him joining the stream. How they find out Punz will never know. He's never been annoyed about it before, sometimes he even liked that people said hi to him when they saw him in chat when the time was appropriate. Right now though, Punz did not want to bring attention to himself. He just wanted to enjoy the stream and not bother Sapnap's time with Callahan. The 'Hi Punz' and 'Punz!' that were occasionally passing by in chat grabbed his attention and he paid closer attention to the stream now. Part of him hoped Sapnap wouldn't notice but the other part was waiting for any type of reaction to his presence.

Sapnap was having a lot of fun actually. Callahan was being funny in game chat, as usual, and chat always loved Callahan content. He had died in one game after Callahan let the bed get destroyed - yes it was all Callahan's fault - and he glanced at chat. Most were about him yelling at Callahan of course, chat loved to baby Callahan. There were a few messages about Punz which caught his eye. Why were people talking about Punz? He ignored his slight increased heartbeat. He quickly checked the list of people in chat and saw Punz under his moderators. Should he acknowledge Punz's appearance or pretend he didn't notice? Why was he thinking so hard about Punz solely watching a stream?
