The door to Corpse's streaming room opened just after he announced to his stream that he was getting another beef from the fridge. You were watching his drunk Among Us stream on his bed, giggling as he and his friends became more and more drunk as the night went on.
"Get a glass of water!" you called after him as he made his way to the kitchen.
"Yes mom!" he responded.
You chuckled and shook your head, turning your attention back to the screen. Rae and Toast were drunkenly arguing in the lobby while Sykkuno and Ash ran around an AFK Corpse, and everyone else muted themselves to talk to their own chats. If they wouldn't get kicked due to inactivity, you would've asked Corpse to try and convince everyone to stay in the lobby like that for a while.
"I am back," Corpse said into his mic. "And I want (Y/N) to know I have tall glass of water."
You smiled to yourself as his chat was flooded with sweet messages about how cute Corpse was for mentioning you.
Another game started and the lobby of drunk streamers all began talking at one time through the proximity chat, besides Corpse. He broke off immediately and went to do his tasks. A quick comment or weird sound would get louder every time someone walked past, but Corpse still remained silent.
You were starting to worry something was wrong when finally, he spoke, "I wish (Y/N) was playing with us."
You felt your heart warmth as more messaged filled Corpse's chat.
"She's literally in my room, it's not like she's far away," he continued. "I just wanna talk to her right now, but I also want to stream and focus on what I'm doing cause it's getting hard to concentrate because I'm drunk."
As if on cue, he ran past a dead body, completely unnoticed, and continued on with his tasks.
"Rae says I get needy when I'm drunk," Corpse added. "I think that's a compliment."
"Oh, are you talking about how much of a simp for (Y/N) you are?" Rae asked, appearing suddenly from the darkness.
You had to agree with Rae on that; when Corpse got drunk he got very needy. Corpse was a touchy person in a relationship as it was, but when he got drunk he became extra touchy. All he'd want to do was to cuddle, or even just to hold your hand. He'd just want to be near you until he fell asleep, as exemplified by his desire for you to be playing with the group at that moment.
You continued to watch the stream for some time before your eyes started to grow heavy and, before you knew it, you were fast asleep with the laptop still on your lap.
You weren't sure how long you were asleep, but you were awoken a while later by the feeling of the laptop being moved from your lap and replayed with something much heavier laying against your body. You opened your eyes and looked down at Corpse, who now had his head against your chest and his arms wrapped around your waist.
"Good stream?" you asked as you began to run your fingers through his hair.
"Did I wake you?" You could tell he was trying to whisper, but it just came out in his normal tone.
"Not really," you lied. "I wanted to be awake for when you finished the stream anyways."
Your fingers hooked against a piece of fabric as you ran them through Corpse's curly brown hair. "Babe, did you forget to take your eyepatch off?"
He shrugged and hummed sleepily, burying his face in your chest. You chuckled and used one hand to raise his head and slipped the eyepatch off with the other. You threw it out into the dark room somewhere, knowing Corpse would struggle to find that next time he had to edit or stream.
"I just wanted to come to bed," he said. "I'm tired."
"And needy," you teased.
Corpse hummed again, giving you a slight squeeze as he did so. "I'm not needy, just drunk."
"You do get needy when you're drunk," you pointed out. "Exhibit A is you never cuddle me like this when you're sober."
"Cause when I'm sober I'm usually the big spoon. I don't wanna be the big right now."
You smiled and continued to play with Corpse's hair.
It was still early on in the night and after your brief catnap you weren't feeling as tired, so you grabbed your phone and decided to scroll through TikTok for a while. You weren't too concerned about Corpse trying to sleep or anything. He was a pretty heavy sleeper, especially after getting a few drinks into him.
It didn't take long for you to start to get warm with Corpse's still fully clothed body (of course he was wearing his usual jeans and a hoodie) laying on top of you, and you were starting to feel the urge to pee. You looked down at your sleeping boyfriend and at how peaceful he looked, knowing you were going to regret having to move.
He's like a cat, you thought to yourself. Always wants to cuddle at the worst times.
Carefully, you started shifting his weight so it was more towards the bed than on top of you, and quickly slipped your body from underneath his. He whined at the loss of contact and you figured he was half awake at this point.
With your newfound freedom, you quickly raced to the bathroom and peed. When you came back, you decided to change out of your own loungewear into one of Corpse's t-shirts as a better alternative to keep you from getting too warm when cuddling with Corpse.
When you returned to the bed, you saw that Corpse had moved onto his back and was now partially awake. He pouted at you as you climbed into bed next to him and held out his arms for you. You giggled and laid in his arms, immediately being ingulfed by his heat and the smell of beer.
"You should put on something more comfortable to sleep in," you told him.
He shook his head. "No changing, only cuddling and sleep."
You rested your head on his chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat beginning to slow down. That was normal for after a stream - his anxiety was usually at its peak while he would be streaming and it would take him some time to come back down from it.
Within seconds, Corpse was asleep again. His arms were holding you tightly, not letting go even in sleep. You smiled at his neediness even when he wasn't awake, and allowed yourself to settle into his arms and finally drift off to sleep for the night.
