cory needed to stream on twitch. it's been a while since he's last done it. today though, he felt like collaborating with other people, most importantly...you. the samurai love you. cory loves you, but he has yet to tell you about his feelings, but his fans know that he's swooning. he doesn't know why he hasn't told you yet, but it's gotten to the point where the samurai made jokes that they're either going to tell you or they're going to date you instead since it's clear that cory is too shy to ask.
but that wasn't a problem right now. he just wanted to hang out with you and play some scary games. while adjusting his headset, cory checked his setup as the twitch stream went live. the chat started flooding with excited messages. "hey, you there?" he talked into his microphone after setting up the stream and his camera, waiting for you.
"yep!" you answered.
"'sup youtube, what's going on, coryxkenshin here and weeellcome to..." as the shogun started to do his introduction, your eyes settled on the loading screen where you noticed something. as much as you wanted to tell him right away, you refused to cut him off. you'll have to wait until he's finished. "...and today, we got a special guest. say hi, y/n!"
"heyyy." you let out a small laugh.
"okay, you ready?" he moved his cursor to hover above the 'start game' button.
"cory..." you trailed off. "it says we will have a better experience if we have a total of three or four people." you read from the little lettering in the corner of the main menu.
shoot. looks like cory forgot about that little detail. "uh..." he stammered. he had originally planned on doing a stream with you and you alone. who else was he going to invite? dashie was busy, so that option has been tossed out of the window, much to cory's dismay since dashie is his best bud. "hmm, i think we'll be fine, just the two of us."
y/n, however, furrowed her brow. "i don't know, cory. it might be more fun if we follow the suggestion. can't you think of anyone?"
cory racked his brain but couldn't come up with anyone he wanted to include. just as he was about to suggest they go ahead, your eyes lit up. "actually, i have someone in mind — jacob. i was texting him earlier and it looked like he didn't have anything to do today." you explained and when you did, cory couldn't help but grimace.
as much as he tried to fight it, he wasn't the biggest fan of jacob, especially since jacob is a known flirt who has his eyes dead set on dating you.
inviting him would be the truest test of cory's patience. letting out a small frustrated sigh, he replied, "jacob? uh, i'm not sure about that. i mean, it's cool with just us, right?"
your smile faded. "well, it does say three or four players, and jacob's a good friend. plus, he's been wanting to join one of our streams for a while."
cory sighed, feeling torn, but the last thing he wanted to do was disappoint you or make you feel bad. "alright, fine. invite jacob. but just this once, okay?" he caved in.
it's been over an hour of you, cory, and jacob playing together. you'd say that it's going well because you've laughed so much that your side has begun hurting. you all have since changed to playing dead by daylight (you all were fortunate enough that jacob knew how to make sure you all could play together) and you were the killer. you decided to play as huntress since with great patience and precision, chases can end as quickly as they begin.
"so...uh...where are my favorite victims?" you playfully taunted out of the blue, despite knowing that they sure as hell weren't going to share the specifics of their location.
"i'd never give away our spot, y/n. you'll have to work harder for those sacrifices," jacob shouted as he and cory's characters worked on completing the second generator.
"aw...don't tell me that you and cory are hiding from me..." you trailed off.
cory couldn't suppress a smile at the playful banter. well...your side at least. however, his grin didn't last long as jacob, seizing the opportunity, smoothly chimed in, "only an idiot would hide from a face like that."
cory paused as a wave of jealousy washed over him, visible to the eagle-eyed viewers who noticed a subtle change in his expression. the chat erupted with reactions as the shogun, attempting to mask his emotions, focused on repairing a generator while shooting a glance at jacob's character. "yeah. what he said."
soon though, cory could just barely make out the figure of huntress in the distance. they were nearly done with this generator, but winning was far from his mind right now. when another prompt came up to further extend the bar to fix it, he purposefully misclicked, prompting the generator to explode and delay their progress by a large sum.
"oops." cory said in a monotone voice before running off just in time for you to start making your way toward the stalled generator.
"really, cory?" jacob wasn't impressed, completely unaware that you were now only a few feet away from him. "i thought you were supposed to be good at these types of games," as he was trying to make up the lost progress, jacob moved his camera to look at his surroundings to check if the coast is clear only to see you standing right behind him. "oh, shi—"
before he could finish cursing, you suddenly began screaming, "no cursing on cory's channel!" and within a few hits, jacob was down for the count.
as soon as cory saw that jacob's character was killed, he gave his camera the biggest grin ever as the chat spammed all sorts of messages, one of which that caught his eye was one that said, "someone better edit this to that one audio that goes like jealous jealous jealous boy 😭 helppppp".
