Drawn Together - A Lams Fanfiction (Collab With E_musician)

Chapter 2

(John POV) 

We got back to our apartment around 7pm. "Jeez it's earlier than I thought!" I said and rushed to my room to set up for a stream. Alex groaned and went to his room. "What's the matter with you? Too tired for a stream? Does Mr. I-Pull-All-Nighters-All-Week  need a nap?" I tease. He flips me off and mods the chat as I start the stream.

 “Alright I know I said there would only be one stream today but we got home earlier than we thought we would do a bonus stream”, I say, “How about we start with that dog request from earlier.”

I check my phone to see the picture of the dog Alex sent me. "So this drawing goes out to [insert username]. Before I start drawing, this will cost $12 since it's a specially commissioned item. Speak now or forever hold your piece." I say. "They still want you to do it! You got $12 on PayPal!" Alex calls from the other room. "Alright let's do this!"

 I start to draw the dog while also starting with another one of my stories. I can’t stay completely quiet will drawing I’ve got to talk about something, so I started to tell a story about my childhood dog since I’m drawing a dog. I pause my story for a second to say, “Very cute dog by the way whoever requested this.”

"Wait this is Martha's dog!" Alex shouts. "Momma Martha or Baby Mama Martha?" I ask. "Momma Martha!" Alex laughs. Momma Martha is what we call his adoptive mom. Baby Mama Martha is my ex girlfriend who had a kid with another guy while our parents forced us to date. 

 “Well I’m glad to draw your dog for you Martha”, I say, “I’m sure Alex says hi but he’s busy modding this streams chat.” That’s when I realize: I let Alex’s name slip and the chat notices too as they start to ask who he is.

"Guys chill!" I try to calms them down but they keep asking questions. I end the stream and finish the drawing on my own. "Send the money back to Martha. She doesn't have to pay." I tell Alex and print the drawing.

 ”Okie dokie”, Alex says then pauses, “And it’s sent back.” “Alright”, I respond before placing the drawing somewhere we won’t forget it next time Alex goes to see his parents. Those people in the stream really wanted to know who Alex was but ending the stream seemed like a better option and I think Alex got a laugh out of me trying to stop them.

"What would you do if people did find out who you are?" I ask Alex. He shrugs. "I'd move to Ohio." He jokes. "Oh so you want a summer in Ohio? With a former stripper and his snake, Wayne?" I say, quoting a movie he must likely doesn't know.

 “Pardon-?”, Alex replies. “It’s a movie quote”, I respond. “Also the chat really wants to know now and I know there’s only so much either of us can do but please don’t leave me to go to Ohio there’s not even anything in Ohio.”, I say. “Fine I won’t go to Ohio but the chat can still wonder who I am”, Alex says.

"Ok fine. But it's kinda mean how you just hide." I tease him, earning another punch to the arm. "Damn it was a joke!" I laugh. He throws a pillow at me… then another… then like 20 cause I have a lot of pillows on my bed. "Chill chill I'm sorry!"

 “Fine”, he says before going to get coffee even though it’s like 8 at night. I’m going to hide that coffee pot one day. I get a text from Hercules a couple minutes later. He must’ve been watching the stream because he asks if the name slip was intentional. Oops. 

J: no the name slip wasn't intentional
H: you sure?
J: yes I'm sure!!!
H: okkkkkkkkkkkk 
J: Alex is mad at me enough already chill
H: do you have a friends and family discount?
J: yeah why?
H: do I qualify 
J: why'd you think you have to ask?
H: DRAW ME
J: tmrw. Gtg stop Alex from jumping off the roof
H: bye
J: ciao 

  Well once I get Alex to his bedroom I go back to my room. I think I’m safe from being murdered for now and we’ll have Herc on the stream tomorrow so maybe that’ll make the chat forget about the whole thing with Alex. It seems like a pretty good way to distract them so hopefully it works.
