fortnite - nick austin

Y/n POV:

I walked into my shared room with my boyfriend, Nick Austin. I look over to see him at his desk playing Fortnite. I decided to sit on the bed and watch him. I used to play fortnite a lot when I was back home. Now I'm living in the Hype House with everyone and I'm definitely not complaining because I'm much happier here with my boyfriend. I guess you could say I'm decent at the game, but I haven't played in a bit because I've been moving in. Plus, I don't even think Nick knows I play. I could see he was playing creative so I figured I could ask him if I could play a round or two.

I walk over to his chair and wrap my arms loosely around his neck, placing my head in the crook of his neck. "Hi bubs" he said. "Hiii" I replied. "Can I play a round baby?" I continued. He looked up from his game at me, confused. "You play fortnite..?" He asked puzzled. "Yea I did back home, especially with Jack." Jack is my little brother and I'd often play with him. "Oh..well alright, maybe in a bit, I'm just in a really close game and can't lose." He said. "Oh alright." I said. I mean it definitely sounded like he thought I might lose, but I don't really care he's never seen me play and I'm not gonna take it the wrong way, I know that Nick is super accepting and all.

It had been like half around and I knew the round was done. "Can I play now baby?" I asked. "Yep hold on I just can't lose this one."  Nick replied. "You know I'm not like that terrible right..?" I said laughing. "Oh of course baby, I never meant it that way I'm sorry." He said. "It's okay, and that's what I figured." I responded. That's what I had thought all along, but I had to make sure that it had nothing to do with my gender. "Wanna come sit?" He asked gesturing to his lap. I smiled and nodded making my way over to him. I could now tell he was playing 2 v 1 box fights, he was the 2 and was actually losing. "Ok I can here Ryland through the mic, but who else are you playing with and is *cough* beating the *cough* shit out of  you." I said fake coughing trying to cover up the fact that they were losing. "Heyyy we're not losing, well we are. It's not my fault Ryland SUCKS ASS!!" He said louder so that Ryland could definitely hear through the mic. "Wowwww, always blame the teammate!" Ryland said. I laughed. "Oh and we're playing against Paper." Nick continued. "Ohh okay." I replied. I sat with Nick for a little longer, watching him and Ryland mostly lose until I had an idea. "I'll be back babe." I said, pecking Nick's cheek as I left the room. I walked over to Rylands room, the door was open. "RYLAND!" I whisper yelled. He turned around and smiled. "Y/-" he stopped as I was putting my finger to my lips signalling for him to be quiet. "Turn off your mic" I whispered to him. He gave me the thumbs up when he did. "Ok hi" I said laughing slightly. "Since you and Nick are kinda losing miserably can you let me play?" I asked. "1. Rude! 2. Uhh I didn't know you played but I mean sure. 3. And why don't you just ask Nick to play?" Ryland replied. "Oh I asked, but he was to busy carrying you!" I said pointing at him. He scoffed jokingly. "Plusss, I think it'll be funny that you seem suddenly like a better player." I said. "Heyy!!" Ryland replied. "Oh just move over, and you can turn back your mic but unplug it and make it seem like you're playing." I laughed at myself and was excited to see how this would go.

After the first three rounds I started to kick it up a notch, not liking pretending to be bad. Ryland kept talking like usual. Next round, Nick was knocked so I was left to get Paper. My competitive side was kicking in and I didn't want to lose. I built around and edited the wall that he was behind, then 200 pumped him which meant we one. "Let's goo!!" Nick said through the mic. Ryland pretended like he had just done that, even though he was being quite silent because he was watching me play. "Now hold on Ryland how the fuck did you do that you can't build for shit." Paper said, sounded more confused that angry. I had to hold in my laughs as Ryland helplessly "Uhhhh" -ed into the mic. We won the next few rounds, Paper becoming more frustrated and Nick getting more hyped. "K what the fuck is happening you and Nick we getting shit on a bit ago and now apparently Ryland knows how to play!" Paper said. "Don't get me wrong I love that you're actually playing now but uhh what happened?" Nick said. It was so hard not to laugh. Ryland just replied with an "I don't know." as chill as he could, also wanting to laugh. 

About 5 more rounds passed, usually Nick would die first, leaving me to carry but easily kill Paper. "OK WHAT THE FUCK!" Paper shouted through the mic now angry. Ryland had to mute  us so that he could let a laugh before listening to the rest of Papers rage. "How the fuck are suddenly shitting on me?!? You're literally the worst player in the god damn house there's no way this is you!!!" Paper continued spitting his profanity filled rage while Ryland was laughing along with Nick even though he was just as confused as Paper. "There's no way this is you!" Nick said. I couldn't help but let a little laugh slip. "Wait hold on Paper shut up!" Nick said stopping Paper's rant. I didn't think anything of what Nick said until I heard "I know that giggle!" Nick said questionably. I looked over at Ryland who was trying his best to hold in his laughter, laughing silently a little. I couldn't take it and let another small laugh out. "Ok yep! I know that giggle anywhere!" Nick said, you could almost hear the smile in his voice. You could also hear the wheels of his chair roll back through the mic. "Huh?" Paper said confused. Ryland and I muted ourselves to let out our laugh, then realized Nick was coming. I mean he already knew from my laugh so there was no point in continuing the joke by trying to hide and play it off like it was Ryland all along so him and I just sat there laughing. Nick came running into Ryland's room. "I KNEW IT!!" He said happily and out of breath. Nick ran over, turned on the mic and said "Paper, it's Nick, Y/n was playing for Ryland the whole time where he knew how to play." Nick finished, still trying to catch his breath. "Um I'm right here!" Ryland said slapping Nick on the arm. "Ohhh.." Paper said on the mic, still probably confused because it's not like he knew I play. "Hmm very sneaky of you!" Nick said as he picked me up off the chair. "I wouldn't have figured out it was you if it weren't for your adorable giggle!" He said smiling at me, pecking my lips. I just laughed. "Well see ya Ry, I found my new teammate." Nick said. "You wouldn't even let me play!!" I said to Nick. "Yea I'm sorry bub, you can play whenever." He said pouting at me slightly. I smiled, pecked his lips and nodded. "Thank you Ryland." I said as Nick and I left. "I bet I can beat you in 1 v 1 box fights." I said smirking at Nick. "Oh you're so on!" He said now running back to our room.
