AN: Yeah, so things have changed a bit. This story that was originally much shorter will now at the very least be 6 chapters long, and honestly will probably be more than that. I don't know how it happened, but it did.

This is much more SMUT then last time, but still not as much as the next few parts after this.

The SMUT's really only at the end, and a majority of it is not really SMUT. Most of this chapter was a suggestion made by @brightside89 and I originally wasn't gonna do it, as I believed it to be too fluffy, but upon further consideration, I found that this was a pretty solid bridge for the next few chapters, and also I feel as though I've been doing a LOT of SMUT recently, so it'd be nice to mix it with a bit of fluff before it delved into full on SMUT (even though looking back on it now, it's really not that fluffy at all). So yeah, hope that I did justice to you suggestion brightside.

Anyhow, enjoy!


Sykkuno's POV: (1 week later: March 28th, 2022)

I was in the local grocery store, browsing for not only some food items for a planned cooking stream that's meant to happen in a few days time, but also for some nice gifts that I could give to the roommates.

I have a feeling that the four of them have been rather stressed lately. They all seem to be both really distracted when on stream, as well as a little more quiet in real life. Is anyone else noticing this, or is it just something to do with me, and that's why I feel as though I'm the only one who's noticed. Either way, these gifts that I'm getting for them will really help put them at ease. My lead theory right now is that they're all dealing with stress from streaming, which is understandable, I have that at times as well. Though part of me had the thought that it had something to do with the... incident, from a week ago, but I did my best to suppress those thoughts in general, so I just stuck with my whole stress theory.

I walked throughout the different isles, pushing my shopping cart along, browsing for the last of the food items, and when I had finally picked out some good looking carrots in the vegetable section, I turned my priority over to the gifts.

I started off with the easiest one by far, that being Yvonne's gift. I walked over to a massive rack of gift cards, and thumbed my way through them to find the most valuable starbucks gift card I could find. I picked out the maximum I could get my hands on, which was a $500 one, and threw it in my shopping cart.

Next up was Miyoung. I didn't really know anything special that she would immediately want right off the top of my head, and nothing really stood out to me as I went along the isles. Up until I remembered what had to be the one food that she was obsessed with at the moment, that being mac and cheese. I walked over to the pasta isle and selected a big pack of mac and cheese. As I was leaving, I past by the pets isle, and was instantly struck with another thought. I walked down it and picked out two separate toys, one for Nabi, and another for Lil cat. I figured that getting Miyoung a bunch of smaller gifts would balance out in the end, as I did have gifts planned for both Rae and Leslie, that will likely be expensive all by themselves, let alone Yvonne's gift.

Then there was Rae's gift. I didn't know exactly where I could find the gift I had planned for her, so I just kept walking up and down isles, trying to find the item I was looking for up until I did eventually find it. I stopped upon laying my eyes on a basket full of therapy bombs. They were little colored orbs that you would use in the bath tub, and they were made to help with relaxation, which was perfect for the predicament I was in right now. I picked out a whole bunch of them, feeling the money exit my account with each ball I picked out, but I didn't care. Anything to make my friends happy am I right?

I kept going down the same isle and I was met with more items of relaxation, and saw various items that could be ideal for what I was gifting the girls, but what really stuck out to me were the numerous scented candles perfectly arranged on the shelf. I scanned them all for the specific type of candle that I knew would make Rae smile wider than ever. I was almost at the end of the candles segment, and beginning to lose hope, up until I saw them at the very end of the isle. I picked out the scented candle variety that Rae had always loved, titled: 'Evergreen Forest'. I picked out four of them, placed them in the cart, and moved onto Leslie's gift, which I didn't have to look very hard for.
