Shouts echo from every corner of the house, the aggressive tapping of keys and controllers the undertone of the excited atmosphere.
"Swags, on your right!"
Gunfire pops in Y/N's ears as Swagger decimates another enemy. "Yeet!"
The crew cheers as the round completes, the Misfits in the top rankings. Scanning over her software, Y/N aligns a few switches and types a couple commands before rejoining the party.
"So I read something on Mason's video the other day," Swagger starts, the bravado in his voice hinting at a story. "I thought it was pretty interesting."
"Is that so," Y/N asks, sprinting around the corner of a building and taking out an enemy.
"Yeah. They cracked a joke that you and Mason sound like an old married couple."
Mason utters a choked noise, his focus fracturing. "That must be a pretty shit marriage. All I remember is arguing with Y/N the whole time."
"I was right the whole time! You're just a buffoon who can't accept that it was my turn on the Xbox, yet you literally picked me up and tossed me onto the other side of the couch! "
Swagger laughs, taking out another enemy. "You guys are just proving their point!"
"No! An old married couple would one: not be playing the Xbox and two: would not be flinging their spouse!"
Y/N lets out a screech as she takes out three enemies in a row, sliding around another corner to defuse the bomb in the far corner of the map. A shout of victory bubbles out of her as she successfully disarms the bomb, causing the rest of the boys to riot along with her.
"I'm gonna call this session a solid dub, boys."
Mason laughs. "Nerd."
"No you, bitch."
The group ends the video, shutting down the software and turning back to the discord call. They send Y/N the files, and she ends up editing late into the night. Finally closing the program around 2am, she falls into bed - only to wake up in a cold sweat just two hours later. Gingerly shifting to the edge of her bed, she sets her face in her hands to try and steady her breathing. Standing up, she leaves her room and paces through the house, trying to calm down and familiarize herself with everything.
"Okay, five things I can see... the couch, the plants outside, the counter, the fireplace, and Swagger's helmet," She whispers, a slight tremor to her voice. She takes a deep breath and continues counting down. "Four things I can feel... the carpet, the railing..."
She walks herself through the phases, finally coming to a stop once she reaches Mason's door. She hesitates for a moment, holding her breath as she knocks on the door.
"Mm - Hello?"
"Can I come in? It's Y/N."
The rustle of bed sheets can be heard from the other side of the door before it opens, and a bleary-eyed, glasses wearing Mason looks down to her. "You okay?"
She sniffles, prompting Mason to sweep her into the room. Rubbing the back of his neck, he sends a questioning look to her.
"I, uh, I had a nightmare. A really bad one, actually, and I couldn't go back to sleep. So I wandered for a while until I ended up at your door."
Mason's heart speeds up, his heart overthrowing his mind. "Do you want to camp out in here?"
She peeks up at him through her hair. "I - I guess. I can sleep on the floor."
