IRL !
since wilbur's outburst on stream, things online had drastically improved for megan. she'd actually felt comfortable going onto twitter without fear of all the hateful comments. there were still people sending heartless messages but a huge portion of tommy, wilbur and many of their friends' audiences had combined their efforts to silence the toxicity and she couldn't be more grateful. it was a comforting reminder that the youtube and twitch community that her brother was apart of, was predominantly good-natured.
the only thing that was still dampening megan's mood, was the situation with her boyfriend lucas. he was still being overly jealous and irritated by the very public reveal of the girl to the mcyt community online, particularly her connection to wilbur. but she had yet to mention it to anyone, opting to just let lucas be mad for a bit, he'd get over it. right?
it was this shift online which lead to tommy feeling like he could ask her a question he'd wanted to ask since before his audience even knew she existed.
"you want me to be in a stream?" megan asked, replaying his words in her head.
"yeah!" he nodded enthusiastically, "it will be cool!"
megan deliberated for a moment, pulling a can of diet coke out of the fridge and cracking open. she leant on counter and looked at the boy who was eagerly waiting for an answer. she was definitely nervous but he looked so damn excited, she couldn't say no.
"okay," she gave in, pausing to take a sip of her drink, "are we gonna play minecraft?"
"of course," he scoffed.
"alright, but no smp or anything," she decided, "just like some hypixel game."
"bedwars duos?" tommy grinned.
"duh," she raised her eyebrows, "we've got to play something we're good at."
"the best at," he corrected.
"sorry, sorry, of course," megan chuckled softly, "so, are we doing this now?"
"if you're ready to," he nodded, shrugging.
"sure," she pushed herself off the counter, following him upstairs.
"do you want a facecam? i was thinking i could hook up my old camera so the stream will be in my point of view but have two facecams," tommy rambled on, clearly having thought about this a lot.
"go on then," she agreed.
tommy's face lit up, "really?"
"yeah," she snickered as he ran ahead to grab the camera from his room, then rushed back out and into hers before she'd even reached the top of the stairs. when she entered her room, we was plugging her camera into her pc. she quickly slid into her chair and helped him set it up so that the camera recording would broadcast to his computer through discord and he could use it in his stream.
"okay, so i'll go start up my stream and unmute yourself in the call when i introduce you."
"got it," she smiled, loving when she got to see him in his element like when he was doing youtube and twitch stuff.
tommy gave her a thumbs up and sped out her room.
"jesus," she chuckled to herself, his enthusiasm was almost tiring. megan opened the minecraft launcher and started the game, and while it loaded she started a discord video call with tommy.
