i'm here.. (quackityxmalereader)

ch. 4 you don't...

     Last night went as boring as i could've imagined. We went to some bookstores and other places to no avail and decided to head home. The entire time i couldn't shake the curiosity of what that boy wrote me, i didn't want to search it up while i was with emily and julissa, they'd definitely notice me copying down words from a post-it note.

     I got home pretty late, but i wasn't ready to go to bed, quite the opposite. I had this burning curiosity for him, why am i feeling this he's just some guy. I know i said i wanted to be human but this just feels like more real, better than human. I sit down at my desk, open my laptop and type in the post-it note i barely get to read, "Quackity," i feel like ive heard that before.

     I look up the name in google and find his twitch page. He's a streamer like me? Much more famous, however. Jesus how popular is this guy, i feel like ive had to have been living under a rock to not know about him. I find his youtube channel and check out a video titled, "MINECRAFTS GOT TALENT" and am immediately dying from laughter. This guy's... what the hell, why did he give me his twitch name? I guess it doesn't matter right now, ill still follow his twitch and subscribe.

     I continue doing my "research" when i get a twitch notif saying that he's streaming. Perfect, a chance to see him unedited. I hop on the stream to find a club penguin dancing to some silly music bringing a sweet laugh out of me. I check my phone during the wait and hear a pretend deep voice, "chatttt, hey chatttt." I wonder what this man is doing while i laugh. He continues talking to his chat when i hear him thank his sub, i don't know why but that just seems really nice with how many people and donations he gets, continuing to respond to every message he can.

     He says he's going to stream some solo minecraft so i decide to stick around for a little while. About half an hour passes before i realize i need to actually go to bed. It's gross that i need sleep but my body just decides that right now is the best time to hate me. I decide i should sub but make the brilliant decision to make another account to let him know it's me. I have a feeling he was just promoting his twitch, but who does that with this many followers?

     I make a new account and quickly set up everything i need to let him know it's me subscribing. I made the name of this account the name of the coffee shop/library we met at, "AromaMochaBoy" hoping he knows it's me. I sub and wait for it to catch up. God, what am i thinking? What is he going to do if he meant something with that note, text me? This was such a dumb idea. I hear the sub to pop up and almost immediately his eyes go much brighter than they have been this entire stream. I hear him start, "AromaMochaBoy thank you for the sub," exactly what i expected, i don't know why i thought anything else would happen but he continues after a short pause, "are you the guy i gave the post-it note to in the coffee shop?" Slightly bewildered by this i put in a small donation to reply, "yeah i came in with my two friends." Oh god oh god what is even happening. "oh nice dude," he pauses to think and begins again, "ok, so, i know this might sound crazy but could we chat privately some time," he pauses, "i need to talk to you about something..." As soon as he said he wanted to chat privately i began typing in my reply, "of course! my twitter is (y/twn)." "nice! ill follow you and message you after the stream!" he says instantly, slightly embarrassed. He goes back to his minecraft and i power off my laptop and start to take a shower.

     Did all of that really happen? Did he ask to message me privately? This is so crazy... every moment in the shower i spend thinking about our interaction and accidentally put body wash on my head. As soon as i step out of the shower i check my phone to see numerous notifications from twitter, people from the stream wondering what this is all about, luckily it shouldn't take too long to pick him out of the bunch.

     I take my phone and head to my room, millions of thoughts racing through my mind, and check my messages and fish his out of the group. "Hey I just wanted to say that you seemed really interesting and I wanted to get to know you better. I know your friends said that you wanted to fix your dating life and I thought maybe I could help with that. Not in like a 'I want to date you' kind of way, I jsut meatn that I could helpp you find a partner." i could feel his last message come with unintended nervousness. "yeah, of course, id love to get to know you more," i send back, barely any time passes before he sends his reply. "Oh, nice! Would you wanna go see a movie sometime?" surprisingly, i've been dying to see a movie recently. "yeah sure im fine with any genre," i reply. "Great, can I have your phone number?" for some reason this surprised me, even though we've already started privately messaging. "yeah it's xxx-xxxx-xxxx." "Got it, I'll text you later." "it's a plan."

     Those last few messages went through before i laid in bed and thought about this night. i gave up looking for a partner and got one as soon as i stopped. I know he didn't say he was interested in dating but i get the feeling he is, he even asked me on a date... i ran those thoughts through my head once, then twice more. Did he just ask me on a date?

     I can't believe i just did that, and the messages were so... i feel so so dumb. He has his pronouns in his bio, is someone going to say something about that? This was such a bad idea. I don't feel entirely remorseful however, he was pretty cute... jesus i need to go to bed.
