Two Lone Artists (Male Character x 100T Girls and more)

Cancelled (Epilogue)

The morning comes as you rest beside your fiancée, holding her tight as her legs wrap around your waist. In the most intimate of ways, you kiss on her neck and whisper sweet nothings to the beautiful lady that you'll soon call your wife.

Her hair is quite messy, indicative of the night before. If this was what the "honeymoon period" was supposed to look like, you never want it to end.

But it does, at least this moment does. Rae is a busy gal who lives a busy life, so she must get up. Though, she does so reluctantly and with a long and drawn out kiss to your forehead. She sways her hips as she walks away, purposely hoping to draw your eyes.

You can't help but chuckle a bit at her obvious ploy, but it worked, and it worked well.

As she exits the room, you roll over to grab your phone from the nightstand where it laid. You unplug the charger from its port and use FaceID to unlock it. There's an influx of notifications, though nowadays that seems to be a normality. You consider turning off notifications for apps like X (formerly known as Twitter) and such, but one certain notification grabs your attention.

"My side of the story..." a preview of a tweet from BrookeAB.

You can't imagine what she could be possibly tweeting about, but the last thing you expected was exactly what it ended up being. In your mind, you simply didn't imagine it could've been about you, but that was the case.

You tap on it, and the full tweet and twitlonger are presented to you. Further clicking on the twitlonger, you read:

"As many of you know, I've struggled with mental health issues in the past few years and there have been many factors contributing to that. Most of which I choose to keep private, but this situation... it feels impossible to do so with recent events. As speculated by what must have been everyone online, Mason and I broke up awhile back. It's been a tough transition period and I was reluctant to say anything as to avoid haters and trolls. Plus, it's my private life and I chose to keep it as such. I needed to get that out of the way to continue on with my side of this new situationship I found myself in..."

You stop reading for a moment, your eyebrow raising as you begin to have your suspicions on the topic at hand. She's not doing what you think she's doing, is she...?

You continue.

"... Earlier this year, as a 100T creator, I was invited to a party of sorts. It was a celebration to meet our brand new media production manager, or whatever his job title was..."

No. Fucking. Way.

"... You all have come to know him as Y/n. And most of you know him as a new and official member of 100T along side me, but even more for the fact that he's engaged to the lovely Valkyrae. I wanna state now that anything said in this does not reflect her or the person she is. She had nothing to do with this... After meeting Y/n, there was a spark and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't immediately interested in him. I made some suggestive remarks and he reciprocated, giving me the same exact energy. Things progressed and, to be transparent, we slept together. Now, all of this was before him and Rae ever had a relationship. Our casual fling continued, and we slept together on numerous occasions as the months went by. The most recent of which was before he announced publicly that he had been dating Rae. After that, I continued to keep contact and he made numerous attempts to sleep with me again, though I always found myself to be busy. I'm not proud of how I acted, because if I wasn't busy, I would've slept with him. And I would have done so with the knowledge that he had a girlfriend. He made me fall for him and he charmed me to act in ways I would have never acted before. Now, it would be childish and irresponsible of me to blame this on him. He acted unfaithful, but I was willing to help him in this. Where this all turns on him and where all the blame SHOULD be placed on him, is when I say that I am not the only fling he developed during this time. I only came to know this after the fact, but he was stringing along multiple other girls while only truly having eyes on Rae romantically. He strung us along while he planned to marry her, just using us for sex while he cheated on her. Some girls have wished to be quiet about this fact and let them live their respective lives as we all move on, but I can't be complicit with this. He slept with so many creators that you know and love, and he hurt them. From Andrea, to Hyoon, to Aria, to Neeko, and so many more. Countless creators fell victim to his charm with no idea they were only be used for sex. He's a sociopath with no empathy for human beings and doesn't deserve the respect our scene has seemingly given him. He is not perfect as so many believe, and he's truly worsened my mental case these past few weeks. I say this all to make clear who he is, and to warn any other female creators that this man is out there and is trying to use you. I hope this makes it clear and concise that he is not the man you think he is. And he does NOT deserve the spotlight..."

What the fuck... it's the most difficult read of your life. It's such a different perspective on something you had experienced personally, but it seemed wrong. She pursued you, and Rae was entirely consensual about it all.

Of course, Brooke couldn't have known that. But god damnit she could've reached out. She could have done her due diligence before opening a can of worms like this one. She managed to make such an amazing situation so gloomy so very quickly.

But, was she right...? Was she? Did you string her along? You didn't exactly tell her you wanted more, but you also didn't make it clear that you didn't want anything. But when your only interactions are sex, it seems unlikely that anyone could view it with any lens other than a fling.

Were you manipulative in your faults, or did you simply mistake her to be understanding with your intentions. You should've made yourself more clear...

But at the same time, you never told her you loved her, and you didn't use her for sex. She initiated every single interaction, and your girlfriend was okay with it.

You exit the room and find Rae in the kitchen. She seems to be reading something on her phone, and you have a good idea of what that might be.

"Reading it too...?" You ask.

"I am... I'm just finishing it..."

"Yea... what do you uh... what do you think?"

"That this is bullshit, and she's doing this at the most opportune time because she's fucking jealous!"

"Rae-"

"She's acting like she's doing this FOR me when I knew about all of this, and I was okay with it. She never texted me about it, and she named other girls you were with without their consent either. That wasn't right..."

"I know, Rae. I just... I feel bad about it all. Maybe she's right in some way... what if I did lead them on...?"

"Did you ever promise them anything or tell them you loved them?"

"No..." you admit.

"Then she saw a fling as much more and was let down when it wasn't. She didn't need to go public about this. This was something that very easily could've been solved privately had she reached out for more context. And now she's jeopardizing everything... even 100Thieves."

"I know, baby. It will be okay... I'll... I'll make a statement or an apology. Whatever is needed." You plead.

"It won't do anything, and PR will probably advise against it. 100Thieves will likely do an "internal investigation" due to the amount of their creators involved in this... this went to shit so quick. Fuck her..."

You can clearly tell Rae is enraged, and you hadn't quite seen her to this extent before. She was fired up and feisty, so you wrap your arms around her with the hopes of calming her.

"Everything will be okay, baby... I won't let anything happen to us or our careers. I'll figure this out, I promise."

"And how are you gonna do that...?" She asks.

"I'm not sure yet, but this obviously needs fixing and I'm not gonna sit by and let her try to cancel me for something she mistook..."

"Try? Have you not checked the replies...?" She asks.

"Hmmm?"

"Yeah... they're pretty one sided. And nobodies looking at you very favorably"

"Of course... it's fine. I'll handle it. I just need time to figure this all out."

"Okay babe..." she says, calmly.

She believes you, and she has faith that you'll do everything to fix this. In her eyes, you're the strongest man on the planet, and she has full faith in you.

On the other hand, internally, you have very little faith or any clue how one is supposed to fix something like this... what can you do at this point...?
