Can I be your CORPSE Husband?(CORPSE_husband x original character)[Discontinued]

[part 6] boundaries

"hi chat!" i say with a smile so wide i could be compared to the joker, "i'm so excited for todays stream. you better not embarrass me in front of corpse! be funny or i'll ban every last one of you" i say, attempting to look stern but chat knows i'd never do that to them.

"Corpse will be joining in a few minutes, his pc crashed right before he managed to open discord. in the mean time what should we talk about?" i look at chat, searching for a topic. "the phasmo stream? uh no let's not" i laugh "don't be weird guys, we're just friends. you can ship us but don't spam chat with the ship name please!"

Today is not the day i want to have to talk to corpse about that and chat constantly bringing it up might cause issues with my plan. as non existent as it is i know today is not the day.

"Hi"
"HOLY SHIT! you scared me" i laugh, catching my breath.
"sorry. what were you talking about?" corpse asks.
"i was telling chat to be funny today or i'll ban all of them" i glare at my webcam, trying to seem serious but knowing no one believes it.
"yeah chat! be funny" he chuckles.

"okay corpse please click the link i sent you, that'll let you see all the videos chat sends in and you have chatterino open right?" i ask.
"clicking... and no i've got your stream open."
i pause, he could just use chatterino to see chat, he knows it's better, so why did he choose to see my face too?
"okay that works, don't be stalker-y this time though" i tease.
"well this time you know im watching, so behave."
behave? what does that mean?

I explain how chat can send in their videos one last time and then turn my attention back to corpse while we wait, "are you ready?"
"i guess" he says, obviously distracted.
my phone pings

Corpse: does that rule about
making you blush on stream
still stand?

Styx: YES!

"but it's so fun" corpse says, continuing our text conversation out loud.
"corpse..."
"fine, i'll try but i make no promises"
"what do you mean? it's not like..." i'm cut off by the first video playing.
chat doesn't even realize, they're all trying to figure out what our half conversation was about without any frame of reference. the first video finishes and chat is still an explosion of "WHAT?", "huh" and "what was that about"'s.
"chat calm down, i told corpse not to make you feel bad for not being funny" i glare at the webcam again in an attempt to hide my blatant lie. corpse backs me up.

we watch video after video and neither of us laugh... until an edit of a bunch of very suggestive fanart of the two of us pops up. i burst into laughter, doubling over and smacking my desk. i can hear corpse laughing with me.
"what the fuck was that?" i breath out between cackles.
"that was so awkward" corpse chimes in, still laughing.

the next few videos were all fan art and edits of us. one was even from an account called @storpse_stan. they stopped being funny immediately.
I turn off the media share, "okay chat that's enough, the first one made us laugh because it was shocking and awkward but every one after that was just uncomfortable." i reprimand chat.
"we're okay with you shipping us in the indirects but don't force it on us okay?" says corpse. i nod as he speaks.
"no more storpse shit in the media share, deal?" chat explodes with "deal" and "sorry".

Corpse and i chat about potential future stream plans for a bit and laugh at some of the actually funny videos that chat shared earlier in the stream. i genuinely enjoy speaking to him so much that i forget i'm streaming, "you didn't break the rule today" i reference the rule he threatened to break in our earlier texts.
"i didn't. i thought about it though" i can hear the smile in his voice.
i smile back, until i notice chat is once again filled with confused spam. "chat, the rule about him not being allowed to make fun of you", another lie. he laughs.

i quickly say goodbye to stream, apologizing for the short stream before corpse and i both say "bye!" and i end the stream.
"if you're that good at lying how do i know you're not lying to me?" he asks jokingly once he knows the stream has ended and chats prying eyes are no longer on us.
"you don't" i smile as i turn on my camera in discord so he can still see me "that's half the fun".

he's silent for a moment. "i love your smile".
I blush and lift my hoodie to cover the lower half of my face, pretending to be busy closing tabs and checking donos from the stream.
he laughs at me and i can hear the smile on his face.
"i love the way i can hear when you smile" i say finally dropping my hoodie from my face but still pretending to be busy but now with a smile spread across my face.
he's silent again, "soon".
"soon?"
"soon i'll show you my face" he says quietly.
"you don't have to!" i say quickly looking up at discord.
"i want to" i can hear his smile again.
