"Hey," Boomer's voice fills my headphones as soon as I press the green button to accept the call from him. It was weird for him to be calling me because we have both been a bit busy recently and haven't had the chance to talk like we usually do. I pull off my hoodie and throw it over my shoulder and onto my bed before turning my attention back to Boomer who is strangely silent on his side of the call.

"We need to talk Dee," Boomer says and I feel goosebumps rise on my skin at the sentence knowing that nothing good ever comes when someone starts talking like that. I have been in relationships where we fought before and have had arguments with my parents and almost all of them have started with something along those lines.

"Uh," I say and lean back in my chair, not sure what he could exactly want to talk about. I try to think but we haven't spoken that much since Pummel Party which was like three days ago. I think that if I did something on stream to make him upset Twitter would have killed me and I haven't done anything to cause any drama between us I don't think. "Sure, what's up?" I ask carefully and there is another second of silence that lingers in the call.

"Dee," Boomer says my name and I frown again. I haven't gotten into any real arguments with my friends over the internet before and usually when fans try to start things I shut it down on my alternate Twitter or just ignore it until it dies down a few days later. People move on quickly but this is Boomer. "Why are you avoiding the issue?" He asks me with a small sigh and I raise my eyebrows at the question, trying to think of what he could be talking about but come up empty.

"There is no issue," I say slowly as I try to think over the events that have happened over the last few days. I still come up with nothing as I haven't done much due to not having a lot of inspiration. The Mario kart think with Dream and the others was a last minute thing that happened because I hit a sub goal. "And I'm not avoiding you Boomer." I say with a frown because if anything it's him who is avoiding me. I have texted him and asked if he was busy but don't get a response and when I do it's a short answer that kills the conversation.

"But you are," Boomer mumbles just loud enough for me to hear and anger rises in my chest. I'm not exactly a fan of being told what I am and am not doing because I know myself. I think I would know if I was intentionally not talking to someone or avoiding something.

"I'm not the one who has been acting differently since Pummel Party, Boomer." I tell him, getting genuinely annoyed with where this conversation has gone. Plus I know I'm not the only person who has noticed this. Usually when either of us are streaming we appear in the others but over the last few days we haven't and Twitter has caught onto that rather fast, coming up with their own theories.

"I'm not acting differently," Boomer tells me and it's clear that he is also getting annoyed. I glare at my monitor even though I can't see him and he can't see me but I could care less right now.

"Then what are you doing?" I snap back and there is another second of silence. It's a kind of silence that happens before a fight and it's fills the call with nothing but tension. It's weird to be like this with Boomer because usually when we argue it's over stream and it's a joke. We both are aware that whatever we say on stream is usually a joke but we haven't fought in a call before where no one else can hear.

"I'm," Boomer finally says and then stops again as if he was thinking over his words. I pick up my phone and check the time with an annoyed huff because I wanted to go to bed. I'm done with this conversation right now and don't feel like fighting. "Trying to figure something out."
