I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Fuck I was scared. What if he didn't want me to come back? The door opened slowly and Karl peered his head through. As soon as we made eye contact he flung the door open and hugged me. I hugged him back and soon enough the tears started flowing out of my eyes. I was sobbing.
"I'm so glad you're back Mel."
"Me too."
"I'm sorry for everything I said. You're my best friend and I need you here." Karl's voice was shaky.
"I know. I'm sorry too Karl."
Karl helped me bring my stuff back inside and set everything back up. I plugged in my new mouse, put the mousepad on the desk and hung my headphones on the back of the chair in Karl's alt stream room. I turned around and looked at Karl.
"I want to buy my own pc and setup."
"Oh- okay! Um- yes let's do that!" Karl was shocked at my assertiveness.
We drove back to BestBuy to get the stuff. I know Karl already has an entire setup I can use, but I wanted to get my own for when I'm not with Karl anymore.
"On fuck I forgot to text Foolish."
"What do you mean?" Karl was confused.
"Foolish told me to text him when I got back to your house safe."
"Awwwwwww soooo cuteeeee." Karl teased.
I lightly hit him on the arm and decided to just call Foolish.
"Hellooo Foolish."
"Hey Melanie... thought you almost didn't make it to Karl's." He laughed.
"Oh she made it alright, and guess what we're doing now?" Karl but in.
"Karl- I don't know if I want to tell anyone yet.." I muttered.
"Tell people what?" Foolish questioned.
"Oh I um. I think I'm going to look for a set up to maybe start streaming." I gave in. There's no way I could keep anything from him.
"REALLY? THATS AWESOME MEL"
I really liked when he called me Mel.
"Yeah yeah" I blushed.
After a short phone call with Foolish, Karl had the biggest grin on his face.
"What?" I playfully shoved his shoulder.
"Oh nothing, just thought you 'weren't telling anyone'" he teased.
"Oh fuck off"
30 minutes later we were back at Karl's place with all my equipment. I was so excited. Practically bouncing off my seat the entire car ride home. Karl
decided he wanted to go ahead and set it all up. Meaning he took down all of his alt setup."Karl you really don't have to-"
"Yes. We must." he cut me off.
As if my excitement wasn't enough, Karl was jumping around as he plugged everything in.
"TA DA" Karl stood up and looked at his masterpiece.
I couldn't believe my eyes. My own set up. To be a twitch streamer. None of this felt real to me. Out of nervous excitement I was fidgeting with my hands a lot and Karl noticed. Too late though. I ran to the bathroom and grabbed 3 bandaids out of the cabinet and put them on my fingers. I gave Karl a weak smile hoping he wouldn't get mad at me.
