waffle house | traves x reader

a/n for new readers: the callmecarson situation happened mid-book. although he is mentioned in the beginning, he will not be in the story after chapter 13. thanks. <3

i wake up today to a twitch notification. it's already 3 in the afternoon because i stood up the night before on my phone. oops. i check the notification, "traves is live: amomg us then hunt some ghost?." cool, i might tune in after some food for my tummy, i think as i walk to the kitchen.

my large fluffy puppy, cricket, greets me in the kitchen. "hey pup! you hungry too?" i ask in a baby voice, to which cricket wags his tail.

after dog food and cereal, i decide to make my way back to my room to get dressed. i slide on a hoodie with a dinosaur on it, as well as some hollister jeans. while brushing my y/h/l hair, i remember the traves stream! i missed more than i wanted, its been an entire hour.

i hopped onto my desktop, and pull up the stream. they were still playing among us, so i guess i haven't missed too much. i continue to play the stream in the background while chatting to friends on discord. i dont have the best computer; it blue screens (crashes) often and i dont have a graphics card. ive been trying to save up, but a waffle house wage isn't very good.

about another hour has passed, and traves was starting up the game phasmophobia. cool! i really like that game, even though i get scared way to much. he was playing with sam and liam, who were currently complaining about logan and cooper not joining. just then, traves shouted out an insane idea.

"what if we invited chat?"
...
"why the hell would we do that?" liam shouted.

"liam i dont know, maybe it would be fun? chat? would it be fun?" traves responded, and chat went crazy.

"yeah liam, i think its a pretty alright idea." sam says, and liam grunts in response.

traves speaks up again, "ok, chat, heres how its gonna go. everyone who is interested spam your discord in chat and we'll pick a few to choose from. sorta like interviews, yeah?" he pauses. "ok chat. you ready? spam! spam chat!"

and so i did. im willing to bet my v and enter keys have never seen such hell. a couple minutes passed, and travis started to read out a few usernames he was going to dm.

"ok, i think we'll read out three so it doesn't take up too much time." he started scrolling through chat. "hmmm.... you!" he double clicks on a username and copies it.

"uuhhhh this one.." he double clicks on a different one, it was right above one of my messages. darn.

"and..." my username isnt even on the screen. dang it. well, maybe next time. i start to stand up to do some chores, but i suddenly hear a "SIKE!!" i look back at my monitor, and he scrolls down randomly and double clicks my username. no way. no way! he chose mine!

this is so cool. i mean, its not like i watch his content religiously or anything, but i've never been noticed by a streamer before. sure enough, i got a dm from travis.

traves: hey! i chose you to be interviewed bruh! please reply, and dont be troll aha :)
