"Hey," Wilbur mumbled, sniffing a little. SMP was fairly unpopulated, just Schlatt and Wilbur and a few others. It was later at night than he usually streamed, and he didn't announce it at all, so his stream chat was also almost empty.
"Hey, didn't think you'd be awake this late, Will. What time is it over there?" Schlatt asked into his mic, sounding happy as ever. He was probably supposed to stop streaming at some point soon.
"It's two AM here. It's really not that far off from America." Wilbur coughed slightly, breath harsh. "Sorry, I'm not sick. My voice is just going to be like this for a while."
"Why? What happened? Are you sure you're not getting a cold?" Schlatt asked. He and Wilbur had been dating for a little while, and Schlatt was definitely overprotective over him. The thought that Schlatt wanted him safe made Wilbur happy, but he knew Schlatt wasn't going to react well to what he was about to hear.
"Just got roughed up a little. I was walking down the street and someone confronted me. It's nothing."
"What- they hurt you enough to make your voice hoarse?! What the fuck?!" Schlatt grumbled something under his breath. "Chat, I gotta go. Sorry."
"Sorry- I didn't mean to interrupt your stream."
"We need to stop apologizing," Schlatt mumbled, chuckling dryly. "And what the hell did that person do to you?"
"Um," Wilbur silently closed his stream as well, finding Schlatt's in-game character just for the illusion of being beside him. "Punched me in the throat?"
"Jesus Christ," Schlatt breathed out sharply. "Why?"
"They said I looked gay, I don't know. I was wearing a pink shirt. I asked them what was wrong with that, and - yeah. I don't know." Wilbur leaned his chin into his hands. "I don't mean for you to worry."
"Oh, I'm fuckin' worrying, Will. I don't want you to be hurt. God, I wish you were with me right now, I just want to fuckin'- God, I want to hug you right now." Schlatt made an unintelligible murmur. "Sorry, I'm not thinking straight. I just hate when you're not well and happy."
Wilbur smiled at that, coughing inside his throat. "Schlatt, I'm really happy I met you."
"You should come live with me," Schlatt said, barely a second after Wilbur finished speaking.
"What?"
"I just want to be with you when shit like this happens."
Wilbur smiled again, feeling warm. "I'll think about it. See you, Schlatt."
"See you, Will."
Wilbur disconnected from the Discord call. He suddenly really wanted to feel all well and happy for Schlatt.
