9. Important thoughts


So you've spent the whole night watching stream videos. Fun.

No really! It's was kinda fun, it did cheer you up a bit after your tantrum.

But now, it's got you thinking, should you make a stream?

You've been wondering whether or not you should have a stream of you just playing some bass music (you saw a lot of streams of people just playing some piano or some other classical instrument) or maybe some video games? You don't play much but it wouldn't take you a lot of effort to just go and download candy crush.


But you're too insecure to show your face!


I could just ...not...but how fun is a stream of you just playing?

I mean there is a reason why he popular people on paprika Tv are, well popular. Wow, who knew that having a face could be so so fun yet so detrimental? Tis really a double edge sword...

I guess it's a no for streaming...









Sighhh, you really wanted some extra money.

Oh shit. Oh God oh fuck.

You forgot about the plans for today- if only you didn't stay up all night watching streams.

You slam the doors open (exaggeration. You don't slam but you are rushing) brushing your teeth as you're down stairs to get the bread to start toasting (hmmmm, jam and toast). You almost wash your face off as you rush through your skincare routine. It's not much, just some cheap cleanser, toner and moisturiser (thank god for drug stores).

You're running out the house with your shoes barely on your feet and in a pair of ripped jeans and a hoodie. But let's just hold with the way things are going that you'll make it in time.

You spot the smaller Daniel on his phone before he does standing outside the shop looking as panicked and awkward as ever. You make sure to apologise a million times before you both step into the shop.


God, you feel terrible for making him wait.


The smaller Daniel shrugs it off, saying "don't worry about it, I just got here myself" but you can hear the lie the moment he says it, though, he sounds happy enough and you're guilty enough that you just drop the topic as you both order your milk teas.


"One classic milk tea and a matcha flavoured one please, both large."

You shake back the nerves that you always get whenever you have to talk to the cashier (you know, the one you always manage to get because you always spend more than a minute reciting the order in the back of your head?). You always manage to come to the conclusion that overthinking is bad for your health but it's just become a habit at this point.

"Okay, that'll cost you $7.98."

You try to hand the cashier over but a larger hand stops yours before you do. It's Daniel who looks pretty worried.

"Argghh! It's okay Y/n, I can pay for this!"

He starts to grab money from his pocket but you stop him, hand on shoulder (damn, aren't you being cool?)

"It's fine, I offered anyway."

You oddly feel like your mother.

"But it feels wrong to just let you pay for it all! We can at least split it."

Daniel feels bashful how he's letting a girl pay from him. It was his mother who had always taught him that he should treat women with respect (respect wamen) and he's already vowed himself to change- like what, 3 days ago? To go back on his word this quickly is shameful.




He was supposed to be a man for god sake!

He was meant to treat the lady!

"It's fine Daniel, I said I was going to treat you anyway! If you really want... you can pay the next time okay?"

You watch Daniel nod his head slightly as he lowers his arm and thanks you quietly. You smile back at him and hand the cashier the money.

You both go over to stand at the waiting space of the cafe bit, having some light conversation. It turns out that Daniel lives with a roommate and his favourite colour is red (and not blue because it makes him feel sad. There's just something about red that Daniel finds hard to describe).

In return, he finds out that your favourite colour is a dark green, slytherin green, because you like the fact it always looks like that it's hiding something. Though you also surprisingly like the colour white- it makes you feel warm (confusing right?).








As you wait for your drinks to be made you can't help but to think that what your essentially doing is making a friend.









And when Daniel laughs you can't help but to think that this is how it's meant to be.

















Maybe, you should just let yourself loose,

Right Y/n?
