Falling // callmecarson

It was a long day of working. I sighed as I pulled up to my apartment. Ed was freaking out about the details I shared with him about the 'date'. I was still unsure whether it be labeled as such. However, Ed said it was totally a date. He was already asking if we kissed. I rolled my eyes at him, of course I didn't kiss him. Was that a thing? Do people kiss on their first dates? Maybe not. I'm too new to this. I hadn't receive a text from Carson about anything planned for today. A little odd since we basically hang out everyday. He was probably doing some streams, maybe I could finally check it out.

I opened my door and practically tossed myself on the couch. I sighed as I took time to catch my breathe from the staircase. It was unusually hot outside, I'm more used to cool weather. I took my shoes off and tossed them aside. I could hear Carson laughing from behind the wall. So he was streaming.

After a few minutes of laying down I headed to my room. I opened up my computer and got onto Twitch. I noticed he was streaming, nerd. He was playing Minecraft with a whole lotta YouTubers I recognized from my recommendations. I watched the stream on low and giggled. If I could hear him laughing, I don't want him to hear me laughing. My laugh wasn't the best and it seemed a bit stalkerish to be watching him stream. Maybe afterwards I should invite him to eat, I still owed him dinner for releasing me from the sheet. Plus, I could spend time with him, that's if he is down to hangout. I went ahead and ran the stream in the background and cleaned up my room a bit. It was sorta messy due to the lack of care I've been giving it since I'm pretty much busy.

As I fixed my bed I heard people talking about girls. More specifically towards Carson. I looked at the stream and saw his face turning a slight shade of red. They were asking him questions about the girl that he had been hanging out with. Was this about me? We have hung out, but I surely couldn't be the only girl right? That would be kinda dumb to assume, he could have been hanging out with others before I moved in. I turned my head as I continued fixing the bed up.

"Well we haven't hung out today, we've been a bit busy. She just started working."

My head whipped back to the screen, that was most definitely me he was referring to. I scrambled in excitement to my computer and tripped on some clothes on the floor. I fell on my side and groaned. I felt even more embarrassed when I heard Carson now question the super loud noise. But he began laughing.

"I think she just tripped!" He was laughing and I could hear him. The guys began questioning it as well since apparently it was pretty loud. I groaned in pain as I sat up. I was a bit winded but otherwise fine.

"Lemme see if she's ok."

I began hearing knocking on the wall. I stood up and knocked on the wall to respond.

"Yeah she's definitely ok."

I sighed rubbing my face. My cheeks were burning with embarrassment, now his friends probably will know me as the girl who tripped. I looked at the chat that was currently making fun of my mishap. I groaned, they'll forget of this in due time hopefully. I went back to making up my bed as the questioning continued with Carson. I was very much still excited, but the confidence I had with the accident, I no longer wanted to sit in the seat I was grabbing for.

They questioned him about if he's made any moves, he was hesitant to answer since he kept saying it was a bit awkward knowing his viewers would also know the details. However, I internally aw'ed to myself as he showed concern that I may have been uncomfortable with the details shared. He kept the answer vague to a "Yes." The guys weren't satisfied as they began to assume something uh, more intimate went on between us that night. He had to quickly clear it up.

"No we did not do that, you monkeys."

I giggled to myself. I decided to text him as he had already been streaming for at least an hour and a half. The time was currently 10:30pm so I decided to see if he was down to eat. I messaged him and heard his notifications go off through stream. He looked off camera and smiled. He grabbed his phone and began typing back.

Yes

I exited out the window and went to the kitchen. I began rummaging through the fridge to figure out what I should cook. I decided that I should cook some chicken and rice as a side. I started working and it shouldn't take longer than an hour.

About 45 minutes had past and it was ready. I walked over to the wall where I could hear Carson laughing. I knocked on it to let him know. I could hear his laughing summer down before I heard a knock back. I walked over to my front door and left it open.

Carson knocked on the front door a few minutes later and I yelled it was open. He walked in and sat on the couch. "What's up gamer girl?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes grinning, "I made chicken and rice." I said handing him a plate.

"So how's work so far?" He asked

"Going pretty well, lengthy but it's alright. How's your streaming going?"

"Pretty well, I got to catch up with my friends on Minecraft."

I was thinking of telling him that I saw, but I decided against that. I didn't want to seem like a creep. Was I a creep for even watching his stream? Well it was for the public, but he was probably not expecting for me to be watching.

We finished eating and I put the plates away so we could watch a random movie on tv. I walked to my room and grabbed an extra blanket, compared to Carson's dude bro black blanket, I had a cute pink one. I wasn't really a pink kind of girl, but this blanket was super soft and squishy. I entered the living room and tossed the blanket on Carson.

"Oh this blankets really soft!" He commented unraveling it.

I sat down next to him, "I know right! It's my favorite blanket." I turned off the lights to really capture the theater feel.

I pulled the blanket over me and cuddled against his side. He was super warm compared to the freezing room. He moved the arm I was cuddled against and wrapped it around my waist pulling me closer.
