*The Next Day*

"It is happening!" Red squeals as she sets up at her desk. "We are getting back to streaming, and I am so excited!"

I giggle, "It feels like we've been gone for a long time, but everyone takes breaks for different reasons. Ours just happened to be longer than anyone would have liked."

"I'm sure that the viewers have been looking forward to this as much as you girls, so it will be fun to be reading chat," Kenny settles onto the couch with his equipment on the end table. "I wonder what the first person I will block will say?"

"What are the options?" Ashlyn chuckles. "Sexual towards one of us? Rude for the tasks we are doing? Demanding us to create something they want?"

"I'll go with sexual," Karen sighs. "There are some sick people on the internet."

"That's why I am here to protect you girls," Kenny grins. "I'll make sure that you never see anything upsetting. I am quick to delete messages and ban people."

"I have seen some of the people repeal and try to get unbanned, which is amazing," I run my fingers through his hair before taking a seat in my desk chair. "People think that because they subscribe or donate or support us in anyway, that they can get away with anything. Good thing we have our knight in shining armor, Kenneth."

He chuckles, rubbing the back of his neck. "I'm just doing my job."

"Why are you embarrassed, Ken-Ken?" Karen's eyebrows furrow together. "Rosa was just telling the truth."

"I'm not, it's just, I don't," he stammers out as his cheeks redden.

"I called him Kenneth," I chuckle. "The nickname that he loves coming from me the most. Is that it?" I slightly grin, tilting my head slightly to the side.

"Not as much as you calling me a knight," he grins. "I've kind of gotten used to being called Kenneth, though it still makes me feel super good inside. No, I've just, knight is something new. I'm not worthy of a title like that."

"Yes you are!" all four of us girls exclaim.

His eyes widen as he leans back on the couch. "Okay, geez, sorry. I didn't think that would hit a nerve for all of you."

"You're my guardian angel, Ken-Ken," Karen pouts. "That's like a different kind of knight, but the idea is the same."

"We don't spend a whole lot of time together, Kenny, but I know that you care so much about keeping your friends safe," Ashlyn says. "That you love my sister in the way that she deserves."

"You work so hard at everything that you do," Red says. "Every single task that you do is given a hundred percent. All that has happened in your life has made you into a great man."

I push out of my seat, walking over to stand in front of him. My hands landing on his shoulders as I lean down towards him. "You are a knight, an angel, the hardest worker, a great friend, the love of my life, and worthy of so much. More than just being able to call yourself a knight in this dorky setting," I softly smile as he does the same. "I know that you went through all kinds of bullying, and that it can be hard to think this way. Certain things will stick with us forever. We've all grown so much in the past few years, and we will continue to grow as the years go by. I love you so fucking much. So much that I can't imagine my life without you right by my side. I want us to be positive, okay? To know that you are worth so much."

"Thanks, princess," he whispers. "You're right. I guess I just revered back to scared little me for a moment. The one that got teased and taunted all the time. The one that people didn't think would ever amount to anything. That's not who I am anymore. I'm so much more, and I am proud of where I've made it to."
