SAPNAP POV

***

AUGUST 25TH

I watched as Bee scored another victory on the Hypixel minigames server. Her phone number was on my screen, but I hesitated to press call. Anxieties filled my stomach. Alex was watching her stream too, messaging me as I waited for the right time.

Alex:
There's never a right time, dumbass
Just do it

Me:
There's always a right time

Alex:
She's literally gonna end the stream and then you'll have missed your chance
Just do it
did you read Vertigo?

Me:
yeah i read it last night
it was good
kinda embarrassing

Alex:
ok, so Vertigo Nick would never have been this much of a pussy

Me:
I can almost guarantee that Vertigo Nick would be just as much of a pussy as I am rn
If not more

Finally, I got over myself and hit the call button. I watched as her face lit up with excitement.

"Ooh, Sapnap is finally calling me after ghosting me all day. What does he have to say?" She teased, holding the phone up to her webcam. Come on, Bee, just answer the damn phone.

I pressed my phone to my ear, shaking.

She answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey," I let out a breath. "What're you doing?"

"Just streaming some Hypixel. Why?" I saw her glance to her webcam. I wondered if she knew I was watching. Then I started wondering if I was overreacting. Then I started wondering if I was overreacting about overreacting. Then--

"Hello? You there?"

"Yeah, I'm here. Just a bit tired." Christ, what was I doing?

"Mhm, I can tell. You're always tired when you call me. Are you having an affair?" Bee teased, going back to her game, phone pressed between her shoulder and ear.

"Oh, shut up."

"Make me,"

Silence fell over us. Her lip curled into a mischievous smirk, and I was struck with a sort of shock I wasn't expecting.

I tried to pull myself together.

"Damn it, Bee, I'm trying to flirt with you. Stop ruining it." I mutter. Her eye twitches a little, a little bit of heat rushing to her face.

"You're...what?"

"Mhm." I swallow a lump in my throat. My nerves have temporarily subsided. "Whenever I see you, whenever we talk, whenever I hear your voice, I wish I was there. I'm hours away but don't think for a second that I wouldn't drive there in a fucking heartbeat to be there with you. You fill my mind."

I watch as she reaches over and mutes her mic. The chat sped by. I wondered if they thought we were arguing or not.

"My stray thoughts are of you. Everyday, it's you. And it's been you. And it'll always be you. A-and...I don't care if you hate me. All that you are is all I'll ever need," I whispered.

"...if I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it," Bee completed the quote from Vertigo. Had she read it? She must have. "And I forgave the world because it had you."

I fell silent for a while and hung my head. I listened to the gentle pings and dings of the chat donating or gifting subs. It was all that filled my room as we sat silently on call.

"I'll call you later," She finally affirmed. The sound of her hanging up replaced the dings. She unmuted and began right where she'd left off, although her voice was a little more shaky now.

I left her stream and wished I'd said something else. Alex started to message me.

Alex:
Well? What did you say?? Clearly something happened

Me:
I don't want to talk about it until she calls me back
after the stream
check twitter for me
i feel sick now

Alex:
did you stop watching?

Me:
yeah
what, was I supposed to keep watching?
i felt like a creep

Alex:
idk man, but whatever you said distracted the fuck out of her
she keeps dying
so either you royally upset her or wooed her to the high heavens

Me:
You're so fucking stupid

Alex:
Shit
Twitter works fast
I go on for like two seconds and already see theories
she hasn't even stopped her stream yet

Me:
What's happening?

Alex:
A lot of people are saying that when she was muted she repeated something from the fic
like it's already been clipped
it's going on TikTok as we speak I bet

Me:
Ugh
she's totally going to kill me

Alex:
yeah definitely
she's scary when she's mad

Me:
would you have done it?

Alex:
fuck no
i'd be scared of her yelling at me

Me:
SO WHAT THE FUCK MADE YOU THINK IT WAS OK FOR ME TO DO IT
i hate you
choke on shit and die

Alex:
pls no babe i love you

Me:
IF she takes it well I'll forgive you
but consider yourself dead if we ever meet up
i'm gonna call your mom and tell her that you're bullying me

Alex:
if you're scared of Bee don't try calling my mom
she's terrifying
hit you with that chancla through the fucking phone
