marley 6 months later

marley found herself streaming at home once again, glad to be in the comfort home.

after twitchcon, her and the boys stayed in contact. they played video games together often, off and on stream. her twitch account continued to grow and the boys fan base loved marley, showing her face in their videos as well occasionally.

"you have to come visit us" nick said through the headset to her as she was focused studying her end of game stats on overwatch.

"i'll try to"

"duuuude, what do you mean try to" he snickered.

"well, i mean with work and stuff. and im not sure what my boyfriend will say" she popped a cheezit in her mouth.

he scoffed, "come on, you've known us longer than him"

"yeah but he's still my boyfriend, ill have to talk to him"

marley works at a bakery in the small college town she lives near. one day a tall dark haired man came in with a couple of his friends. she noticed him coming in more and more each day, and he eventually asked for her number. things weren't perfect between them. she found that he started arguments over small things, and he was already not a big fan of most of her friends online being other guys.

she still liked her boyfriend, danny, though. he took her on nice dates and bought her nice things. he's even shown his face a couple times on stream and her chat loved him. the boys met him a couple of times, but danny didn't care to get to know them no matter how hard they tried to be friendly. the boys have never said anything bad about danny to her, but they were not a fan.

"well you can come whenever, we want you to see our new house. door is always open"

"i knowwww, thank you" she dragged.

isaac screamed, playing a different game from them.

"bro my ears" nick laughed.

"yeah jesus christ"

"bruhhh!!" he yelled again, hearing him hit his desk, then huffing.

isaac and marley continued to stay closer than the rest of the boys, with an unspoken agreement to stay just friends. she talked to isaac more than her roommate nat most days.

"yeah, marley, you can just take my bed, i can sleep on the couch i don't care" isaac continued the conversation.

"i'll probably have to get a hotel, to keep the ol ball and chain happy"

"yeah, i get that"

"i'll talk to him about it, he'll be here soon actually"

"nooo one more round" nick whined.

"dude i cant"

"marleyyyyy" isaac whined as well.

"mehhhh" she mocked. "i'll be on later maybe, i don't know i have work in the morning"

"fine, whatever"

"byeee" she said, leaving the call.

"hey babe" she held the cheezit box in her hands, looking over to her boyfriend laying across from her on the couch.

"mhm" danny kept his eyes on the tv screen.

"i think im gonna take a trip down to austin for a weekend maybe, to see the boys.

he turned his head to look at her.

"you're going alone?"

"um... yeah? i'll get a hotel"

he went silent for a second, turned back to the tv.

"i don't know"

"...don't know what"

"i don't know those guys at all, just weird you want to go alone"

she blinked, lifting her hands up to anxiously bite the skin off the side of her finger.

"it's not weird they're my friends. and you've never wanted to even get to know them"

"because i don't care to, marley. you shouldn't have that many guy friends anyways"

she kept her mouth shut, turning back to the tv to continue watching the show. a part of her understood him, it wasn't normal, but she knew the boys way before him.

marley tapped her fingers against the counter at work. it was slow, only one older couple drinking their coffee by the front window. her phone dinged with a discord notification from isaac.

isaac: what did he say?

marley: danny?

isaac: yeah

marley: not much :/ i don't think i can come

isaac: bruhhhh

marley: im gonna talk to him again today i think, i really want to come

isaac: let me know what he says, ill even pay for your ticket

marley: that's sweet, but really i can pay for my own ticket

———

she opened the apartment door, shutting it and locking it behind her.

"oh hey! welcome home" nat said from the couch.

marley walked around the corner to meet nat and danny sitting on the couch together.

"oh hi danny"

"hi babe, how was work?" he smiled up at her.

it wasn't unusual for danny and nat to hang out alone. danny always said she saw nat like a sister anyways, which made sense to marley since they bicker all the time in front of her. she trusted him around other girls, which made her not understand why he didn't trust other guys around her.

"slow today" she huffed, hanging her keys and purse up. marley walked to the couch and plopped herself in the middle of the 2.

"are you going to austin still?" nat brought up the conversation, putting the couple in an uncomfortable situation.

"um..." marley glanced and danny.

"i still don't know, marley" danny sighed, leaning his arm on the couch, resting his head in his hand.

"come on danny" nat pushed, making marley feel a little better. "she trusts you around other girls"

"yeah..." he responded in defeat.

"how long would you be gone" he asked.

"only a few days, like just a weekend. most of the trip will be for content. our fans will freak" she added on to make him feel a little better.

"when would you leave?"

"a few weeks probably, i still have to take off of work"

"okayyy fine. you have to bring me back a shot glass though for my collection"

"ooo and i want a keychain!!" nat basically squealed.

"okay okay" she laughed
