JIGSAW - SAPNAP

ONE . . .

"slow day, hm?" a young person with bright green pigtails tilted their head to the side, sliding their soon-to-be purchases over the counter.

nyx had no energy to make small talk, so he wiped the small fly-aways from his eyesight before scanning the few items the person bought and tossing them into a reusable bag.

once he looked up, pigtails had a look of utter anger from nyx's "i don't give a fuck" face. once he had slid the bag over to them, they tore it from him and scoffed.

"fuck you too then, girl." nyx felt his euphoria wash away in the tide of dysphoria by the assuming of his gender.

"damn, someone has a short temper." rue sat down on the short stool that was slid up under the counter, her feet dangling only a few inches from the ground.

"i hate people."

he was a person with few words, nyx was. there were a only few people who got to hear the deep pitch of his voice. rue, a few of his other workers, and his family. they all had came to terms with it and adapted with the silence.

"emo much?" rue held a warm brown hand over her mouth to keep her laughs quiet, though nyx picked up on it and yanked it away playfully.

"shut the fuck up, i am not emo." nyx traced his fingers over the sleek counter he had seen every day (except weekends of course, he's only 22 for gods sake) for 3 years.

"uh-huh, whatever you say mr. "i like to listen to corpse husband while painting my nails black"." rue giggled at her own joke before hopping off the counter. the clacking of worn out vans sounded every time she stepped, though it became a comforting sound to nyx.

the annoying bell rang all throughout the store, singling someone had walked in. nyx sighed dramatically before sending a small "welcome, i'm here to help if you need it" to the masculine-looking person who stepped inside.

"actually, yeah, i do need help," the shorter-than-average person whipped over to the counter, making sure their mask was adjusted correctly before saying, "do you guys sell sex toys?"

nyx couldn't help but chuckle at the question. he never really had anyone who ever asked for such things, except for the occasional teen who was bright pink as they asked. this person, though, they were different.

they spoke with a certain confidence. like nothing they said could make them double over with embarrassment.

"we do, yeah, i'll take you over there." nyx stared at the person for a few moments, then abruptly sat up and walked over to the back of the store.

nyx felt a bolt of confidence for a few seconds, so he decided to ask. "can i ask what your pronouns are?" he immediately regretted it as soon as it left his mouth.

"he/him is good with me! thank you for asking, what about you?" the boy's eyes crinkled, hinting towards a smile that nyx couldn't see.

nyx felt a happy feeling bubble in his stomach. only few people have ever asked him his pronouns, and he couldn't help but grin.

"same here." the brunette boy nodded before regaining his focus to the shelves of lustful toys.

"do you guys sell dildos? but like, in a really bright green color?"

nyx had to hold his breath so he wouldn't bust out laughing, but he managed to compose hisself by biting the inside of his cheek.

"i can go look in the back real quick, hold on." he rushed over to the storage where they kept all of the supplies they have. he didn't see any of the certain thing the male asked for, so he came back with a bright orange one instead.

"sorry, looks like we don't have any, will this be good inst-" he stopped in his tracks when he saw the customer again.

from all the nights nyx had stayed up until four in the morning to finish a stream, or when a new video was posted and he was always trying to be first all flooded to the surface.

his comfort.

"oh my - holy shit, you're him!"

"yeah, the guy who would like his purchase..?"

nyx covered his mouth with his hand, dropping the silicon toy on the ground out of pure shock and happiness.

"sapnap?" the boy startled at the use of the name, quickly looking around him to see if anyone had been listening to their conversation.

he sighed while rubbing his hat awkwardly, thoughts already going in his head about how everyone was going to rage about this on twitter if it went out into the public.

"damn, really was trying to not let people see me with a fucking bright orange dildo." he said, his confidence obviously drained from his body.

"i promise i won't tell anyone, i don't even have friends, much less a twitter account." nyx tried to keep a straight face while picking up the orange silicon.

"thank you," sapnap took the package from nyx's hands, then taking his purchase back to the cashier.

"your total is 9.50, sir." nyx tripped over his words when he talked, and he mentally screamed every time.

once sapnap had paid, he headed for the door , but before he could, rue stopped him and mumbled something to him. sapnap's face turned to horror as he sped out of the store with his incognito bag that hid his special purchase inside.

nyx didn't care at the moment what rue had told him. he was grinning from ear to ear the whole time he put up the change sapnap had gave him.

"someones a little red, hm?" rue teased, tickling nyx's side.

"he's a twitch streamer, rue, shut the hell up."

he just sold a dildo to his favorite twitch streamer.
