1.2 Growing Attraction

A/N: I just want to clarify, in the previous chapter Miyoung wasn't in denial about her feelings, she genuinely wasn't attracted to Toast in that way yet, this chapter will show how she slowly develops feelings for him over a period of time, hence the multiple time jump/skip back and forth type thing that you'll see.

You'll see that I've warped certain recent events from IRL to fit into this chapter and the larger story as a whole such as Rae and Sykkuno playing It Takes Two happening earlier, the 48hr stream occurring slightly earlier than it did IRL and probably more in here and in future chapters.

Also this is completely irrelevant but I've been using the same font for the past month or so and I realised how much I hated it and I forgot that you can change it, anyway I changed it now and I'm so in love with my new one, it's called Rockwell if you'd like to see it, I know it may look a little strange at first but I actually really like it for whatever reason!

Ever since that night I spent with Toast, that night we slept together, we've been spending a whole lot more time together than we were before. In fact, almost every single one of my days was spent with him, whether we were hanging out on stream or watching TV in the living room, I was with him. It was really impacting my streaming schedule which was a slight problem but then again I had a habit of streaming infrequently sometimes so it wasn't exactly anything new.

As well as spending all my time with Toast I had also often found myself revisiting the same question that I had posed to myself the morning after that very night, 'How do I really feel about Toast? Is he just a friend? Or is he something more?' To say that I now had a definitive answer to that question would've been a lie, though I was certainly gaining some sort of attraction towards Toast the more time I spent with him, and I'd like to think that he feels the same way towards me.

I had spent various significant moments with him over the course of the past three weeks, moments in which there was just this sort of chemistry that we'd shared with each other, the first time we experienced that strange connection was when we were playing It Takes Two with each other on stream, we played co-op so we were sitting right next to each other, for some reason that was abundantly clear to me, I'd been staying over at the OTV house every chance that I'd gotten.

26th Sept 2021 (Miyoung POV)

I was playing It Takes Two with Toast, we played sitting right next to each other as opposed to playing online because it meant that I didn't have to go home only to come back as soon as we were done and the PC in the basement was currently occupied by Celine who was still staying here for a few more days until she can fully move into her new place. Besides I liked being around Toast, I felt a sense of security that I'd never felt around anyone else before, I felt safety when I was with him, and I really, really enjoyed that feeling.

We started playing at 4:00pm, we streamed the entire thing from start to finish and made a promise to each other not to end the stream or game until we were completely finished, not only that, but we took on the task of completing every single vs minigame that we encountered, Needless to say, it was a long and gruelling night.

One of the most miraculous things that had occurred while we were playing was the fact that neither of us even thought to mess with each other, not even once, whereas when I watched clips of Sykkuno and Rae playing the game they were constantly messing with each other and killing each other both on accident and on purpose. But at the end of the day they were still having lots of fun and as were we.
