Let Me Figure It Out

II

~~Sykkuno~~ 

"Hello!" I say to my twitch chat. "I think we're starting soon, Rae said 5." 

I scroll through the discord chat and occasionally thank users for a sub. Eventually I see Rae and Toast join general, I decide I'll pop in next. 

"Hey guys" I say. 

"Hi Sykkuno!" Rae shouts. 

"Hello," Toast says, much calmer. 

Toast and Rae continue the conversation they were having before and I mute myself to talk to my chat. I take the time to reply to some comments. "Is Corpse joining?" I read out, "Yeah! People really seem to like it when we play together." 

Speaking of Corpse, I see his name pop up in the chat, along with everyone but Michael. "Oh hello Corpse!" I smile. 

"Hi Sykkuno!" I assume he smiles back. Corpse is honestly really nice.

About halfway through the game, Corpse and I decide to stick together.  We don't do our tasks and just hang out in storage. "Guys," I laugh. "I don't know what to do. I mean we should do our tasks, but at least we don't die this way."

Corpse stops moving so I run in circles around him. "I think it's Lily and Jack," I tell my chat. Of course I don't read their responses, that's cheating. Just as I say that Lily walks into storage. I make my character stare at her, then Corpse does the same. She turns around and leaves. Then a body gets called. 

"It's not Corpse" I say proudly. 

"What were you guys doing Sykkuno?" Lily asks, laughing. 

"Why do you want to know?" Corpse asks accusingly. 

I laugh, then instinctively cover my smile, "We were protecting each other." 

"Guys, I found Michael's body?" Toast says.

After I finish my stream, I shut off my computer and sit on my bed. I get a text from Corpse. 

'Good game Sykkuno :)'

'You too Corpse :)'

'You said you live in LA right?'

'Yeah why?'

'Whereabouts?'
'Just curious.'

'I live near an Ikea... lol'

'Lol'
'Me too. I live near the one next to the Aldi.'

'Wait no way! That's the one I live by'

'We should meet up sometime.'

'Totally'

Sorry this is short you guys I feel bad for not posting but I have severe anxiety so my fucking panic attacks are crazed right now. I'll try to get better at a schedule.
