Hopeless Romantic (Damien Haas X Male Reader)

15: Stream

A/N:Hey there. Um. Here you go lol

The drive to Damiens house was short as always. As he took his manga to his bookcase to put them in their respective spots until he could read them, I made myself at home on the couch. Damien joined me on the couch, sighing as he did so. “You want a snack or something dog?”

“Sure, why not?”

“Alright, come on.” He got back up and headed toward his kitchen, me in tow.  “Whatchu want? I’ve got some chips, granola bars, apples…”

“Some chips sound good.”

“Yeah.” Damien agreed as he handed me a bag of chips, taking one for himself as well. We returned to our previous seats on the couch and turned on a random channel on TV for some background noise as we just talked and hung out.

I felt my phone buzz and turned it on to see a message from Alex. It read, ‘Are you with Damien again or something you homo bc he's not live and you aren't home.’ I rolled my eyes at their message and chuckled slightly as I started to type a response but I was interrupted by Damien's voice.

“Oh shoot, it's already eight, I'm supposed to be streaming here pretty soon.” I put my phone down without responding.

“Do you need me to go?”

“I drove you here…”

“Right…”

“I mean, I could always cancel- wait,” he interrupted himself, “I already canceled semi recently and I don't want to disappoint people.”

“ I could have Alex come pick me up?” I suggested, though unsure if they'd be able to.

“No, no it's fine I don't want to inconvenience anyone, I can just push it back and take you home.”

“No, because I don't wanna inconvenience you or your fans.”

“You wanna just…” he paused, trying to find the words he wanted, “Do you wanna just stay here and watch me stream either on your phone in here or- No…” he once again interrupted himself, “no, it’d make more since you just sat in my streaming room with me…” He paused, deep in thought again. “Only if you want of course” he snapped himself out of it.

“Yeah that's fine, sounds fun even! Although, i'm gonna be pretty quiet and stay off camera, the videos i'm in still haven't aired and we don't need another starbucks situation.'' I laughed awkwardly.

“Yeah that sounds good.” Damien replied in the same manner. "Well alright, let's get this setup then!" Damien got up off the couch once more and I followed close behind him.

He led me into a room with a PC and camera set up with a green screen panel sitting behind it. We stood in silence for a moment as he thought.

"If we get you a chair off to the side here you should be able to see without being on camera." He gestured as he spoke.

"Yeah, that sounds good."

"Yeah?" I just nodded in response and Damien got me a chair.

I got myself set up and comfortable while Damien set up for his stream. Once he was ready he posted on Twitter and Instagram that he was starting then, finally, began his stream.

Damien stared off into the distance looking deep in thought, "You doing alright over there?" I asked. He popped his head up and looked over to me.

"Yeah, just trying to figure out how to explain this situation to chat." We both sat in silence for a moment, thinking. "I'll probably just give them something along the lines of, 'I was hanging out with a friend and lost track of time so say hi chat, he's camera shy so please be respectful'"
