as the only female member of core, you've felt yourself be looked over a lot. you joined a little later which meant that not only your og fans had to get used to the switch but the other core communities had to get used to your dynamic with the group.

in spite of this, you still attended the in-person auditions with ron, lacy, jason, and marlon. it was your first time ever meeting kai in person and although you were nervous, you still let your most authentic self show, making kai laugh naturally and conveying your consistency as a streamer.

although you knew the in-person auditions were mostly for content, you were still quite relieved that instead of straight up denying you for the clip, he presented you with a stay in touch stamp.

and now here you were. sitting patiently with your chat watching as kai himself reveals all of the names that were selected to participate in the event.

chat00 you're gonna get in don't worry

chat00 all of core is getting in trust

chat00 wwww y/n

"thank you for the kind words chat, i really appreciate it," you say with a smile, reading through the comments. he starts with professors and you smile and clap in surprise as adapt is revealed on the board.

“oh my gosh adapt is gonna be a teacher love that,” you say continuing to clap.

then comes silky, who you kinda guessed based off the song chosen before his name was revealed. you laughed as you watched silky start to get up and dance and got up to join him in the moment as his name was finally shown.

running downstairs you’re met with the sounds of everyone congratulating silky. you step in to the frame to clap for him but stay mostly out of the way so you don’t get pushed over by the other boys who jump on him.

once everyone moves out of the way, you give silky simple hug that he returns with a smile before making your way back upstairs to listen for the next name to be revealed.

you sit back at your desktop, continuing to smile as you listen to kai list off the facts about silky.

chat00 2/7 you got this

chat00 no way you're not accepted

chat00 w silky

"y'all are right, we got this!" you reply to the chat's comments you say clapping excitedly while continuing to watch. only your hype level dims a little as kai goes a full row without revealing any other core members. you still continue to clap for every person accepted and cheer for those that you specifically recognize.

"let's see who's next," you mumble watching as kai pulls off the red slip of paper. your eyes widen as you recognize the name 'marlon'.

"oh my gosh, marlon!" you yell as you abandon your setup to run down the hall to where the mentioned man is reacting with lacy.

“yayy,” you squeal running in to join the celebration. once again, you wait for everyone to stop jumping before squeezing in to give him a quick hug. you turn around to make your way back to your desktop.

“three down, four to go,” you say with a small exhale as you sit back in your chair.

more reveals pass before you hear kai say, “next! i need everybody to sing with me,”

your eyes widen and you sit up, glancing at your chat. “ooh who could it be?” you ask aloud, scanning the comments.

chat00 ron ron ron

chat00 payphone?

“oh what if it is ron,” you watch as kai switches his outside mic to his headset and your suspicions are confirmed when he in fact does start to play and sing along to payphone, revealing ron’s name under the yellow paper.

“yayyy ron!” you jump again to run down the hallway to congratulate your group member. the rest of the boys are embracing him aggressively, causing you to laugh aloud as you stand in the back clapping. you patiently wait your turn to give your signature hug to ron, who accepts it with a smile.

making your way back to your setup you chuckle as you can hear ron facetiming kai about his acceptance. you pull your chair back to your setup, sighing as you feel the nerves build even higher.

chat00 you’re next for sure

chat00 w core 4/7

“dang guys i kinda wish i had a theme song too, silky and ron got cool reveals,” you say, responding to a few messages on your phone before focusing in back on the stream.

you hear a knock on the door behind you and turn to yell 'come in'. you are met with the sight of adapt who walks in with a smile.

"oh hey adapt! congratulations, i'm so excited for you," you say, clapping as you announce him to the chat. you fix your camera to zoom out a little so that the viewers can see him.

"thank you," he replies coming to stand next to your chair. he greets the chat and watches as it moves faster to greet him.

"you gotta make sure to come to class though," he says playfully turning to watch your facial expression.

you laugh, shrugging your shoulders, "i don't even know if i'm on the roster," you respond with a semi-nervous smile as you meet his eyes.

he shakes his head with a quiet chuckle, "you're getting in don't even worry,"

"i appreciate your encouragement," you say with a small smile.

"of course, do you need anything?" he asks getting ready to walk out the door.

“i’m okay! my water bottle is still full,” you reply, waving him off.

“okay i’ll see you later. bye chat,” he finishes with a wave before walking out of your room and shutting the door.

“so sweet,” you say, fixing the camera to be in its original angle.

you fiddle with your fingers as you watch more names get revealed. your heart warms watching all of the reactions of the people responding to their acceptances.

chat00 dont be nervous

chat00 you’re gonna make it

chat00 we love you y/n

“i’m not nervous chat im just waiting patiently,” you say with a chuckle as you read the comments.

chat00 yes you are we can tell

chat00 you always mess with your fingers when you get nervous

you look down at your fingers which you are indeed fiddling with, separating them dramatically. you roll your eyes playfully.

“you guys act like you know me,” you said playfully, but still held up your hands in a heart shape towards the camera.

“okay let’s see who’s left,” you announced, going quiet once again to continue watching the board.

“open jason’s stream?” you read one of the comments before doing so. you see ron and jason sitting side by side also watching the picks live.

“i feel this one, it’s gonna be you,” ron says to jason, hovering over his shoulder. you all watch as kai pulls the paper to reveal someone who is not jason, making him push ron out of the way. you chuckle at his reaction, picking up your drink to take a sip.

setting your drink back down you speak, “it’s okay jason we’ll get in.”

you continue to watch the reveal through iason’s stream, getting ready for kai to pull the next paper before he suddenly turns toward the desktop to pick out a mystery song. the familiar tune of kung fu fighting turns on causing both you and jason to focus in on who will be called.

kai rips off the red paper and reveals the selected pick is in fact ‘jasontheween’.

“jasonnn,” you yell, immediately jumping up to run to his room.

“woooo!” you shout clapping your hands when your eyes meet jason who is happily jumping in front of his monitor.

you run up to hug him softly before quickly moving out of the way for ron who aggressively holds on to his back.

you laugh at the scene, standing next to silky who is watching as well. he turns to you smiling, “you know you’re next right?”

you shrug wordlessly at his words, giving him a little side hug before beginning to make an exit back to your room.

“wait let’s go to lacy’s room so we can all be together when you or him get picked,” you hear silky say over your shoulder causing you to turn back around.

“aww that should a fun, let me go grab my phone and switch my ingest,” you walk back to your desktop, quickly straightening up and switching to lacy’s stream. you grab your confetti popper and read a couple comments before you go.

chat00 it’s almost time

chat00 get hype y/n will be accepted into su

chat00 wwwww core

“alright chat we are going to lacy’s room,”

you walk down the hall, humming as you finally make your way to his door and spot everyone crowded around his monitor. ron spots you and pulls a chair for you to sit in between him and lacy. you thank him and get comfy, placing your confetti popper underneath the desk.

together, your group watches and cheers for the many people who are continuously revealed on the list of students. you finally make it down a full row before kai pulls a yellow paper, showing lacy’s name under it.

the five of you immediately crowd lacy, cheering him on as his name is revealed. you smile brightly as you give him a little hug and clap. ron softly pushes you backwards and put his arm in front of you to grab lacy’s head and hit it in the desk. your eyes widen at his actions and you push his arm away.

chat00 LMAOO

chat00 we did it

chat00 ready for y/n

“let’s switch to y/n’s room now,” ron says standing up next to you.

“i don’t know guys it looks like he already accepted a lot of girl streamers,” you say fidgeting with your hands.

silky makes a face at you, pulling your hand to help you stand up. “y/n now you know…”

“let’s go!” lacy says, using his wheelchair to lead the charge. jason grabs the confetti popper under the table and you all make your way towards your room.

you switch the ingest back to your desktop camera and take a seat in your chair, opening kai’s stream back up.

“drop a 1 if you’re ready for y/n to be accepted,” ron speaks, you all watch the chat spam at his request and it causes you to smile. you throw up a finger heart and continue to watch the stream.

you listen and react to about ten more names before kai suddenly pauses when peaking at the next name behind the yellow piece of paper. you feel yourself sit up as he types at his computer, assuming that he is picking a song.

you hear the opening of ‘cinderella’ by mac miller start to play through his speakers and sink a little further down because you don’t really know how that song will be associated with you but still try to have hope. the guys crowd around your chair as they are also waiting for kai’s next move.

kai skips to the build up of the song and waits until the lyric, ‘i’ve been waiting all night for this moment,’ pulling the yellow rectangle and yelling your name.

“y/nnnnn!” the boys instead start to cheer around you surrounding you in a group hug. jason pops the confetti to fall down on top and you feel your face start to hurt from from how hard you are smiling. you keep your eye on the monitor watching as kai switches to watch your reaction and you wave at the camera.

“thank you so much! we did it!” your excitement is unable to be contained as you jump up continuing to be happy for the events to come. your group all stands and jumps in a circle excitedly as you now have all been confirmed to be attending streamer university.

chat00 7/7 we did ittt

chat00 this about to be a movie

you all finally take a break from jumping and you sit to catch your breath from all the adrenaline that raced through your body.

“guys i almost thought i got hyped for nothing,” you say fanning your face.

“no we all knew it was you, the intuition came through,”

“group hug!” marlon shouts racing towards you. the boys all crowd around where you sit and squeeze you playfully before letting go.

“aye, im not gonna lie, i am not going to adapt’s class,” ron jokes, causing you to burst out laughing.

"okay, you have to wear these," you say as you hold out the unlabeled package for your boyfriend to open. he grabs the bag and rips it apart, pulling out the soft & brightly colored pajama pants. he looks up at you wordlessly and you laugh in response to his face.

"what? i wanna match! what's the point of a cute sleepover if we don't match our pajamas," you argue, crossing your arms at jason. he smirks at your words but still says nothing.

"pleaseeee," you draw out with a playful pout, holding your hands together.

"fine," he says, hiding a smile as he turns to head to your bathroom.

"don't act like you don't want to match with me!" you yell after him, chuckling. while he changes, you make your way towards the kitchen to pull out the ingredients for the cookies that you wanted to make. the two of you had already eaten out before you arrived at your house so now it was time for dessert.

you pull out the box mix, butter, egg, and milk, placing them neatly on the counter. you also grab the big mixing bowl and spoon. you get about halfway done with the recipe before your boyfriend joins you in the kitchen.

"aww so cute!" you say pointing at his newly adorned pajama pants. "want to help me finish the cookies?"

"yes what do you need help with?" he asks, leaning against the island next to you, peering into the mixing bowl.

"can you crack the egg for me into the bowl," he does as told with minimal shell and you continue to mix the ingredients.

"okay and then just fill up the milk to that line and pour it in," you direct him, pointing to the liquid measuring cup which you had pulled out.

you watch fondly as he seems so focused following your instructions. you thank him and finish mixing the batter together.

"can you keep mixing this so i can go put on my pants too?"

"yes, of course," he replies, softly taking the spoon and bowl out of your grip. you leave for a few minutes and return to the kitchen, finding that jason is sneakily trying to taste the raw cookie dough.

he hasn't noticed that you've walked in so you take the chance to spook him a little.

"is it good at least," you say suddenly with a small laugh that turns into a full on giggle once you watch your boyfriend take a small jump from fright.

"oh my gosh, babe you scared me," he comes closer to you, giving you a full hug.

"you didn't answer my question," you reply smiling up at him.

"yes and i know they're gonna taste even better baked." he assures, finally letting you go so that you can pull out a baking tray from the cabinet. he watches as you quickly place small amounts of dough evenly on the tray. he moves in the corner of your eye to grab another piece of the cookie dough which you think he is going to taste but instead he tries to place it on your nose.

"oh dang it doesn't stick," he says laughing as the dough barely attaches to your skin. you laugh at his attempt to get you back from scaring you earlier.

"yeah it's not like a brownie or cake mix, it's thick," you explain, sealing the rest of the unused cookie dough in the freezer. you turn towards the oven before gasping.

"oh my gosh, i forgot to preheat the oven," you say in disbelief, hurrying to turn it on. you sigh turning to jason, "now we have to wait even longer for dessert,"

"well, what else do you want to do while we wait dear?" he asks in response. you feel your face get a little warm at the pet name but ignore it for your new thought.

"ooh we could do face masks," you grab his hand to lead him towards your bathroom. you pull open your skincare fridge to reveal a dozen sheet masks.

"hmm let's do the strawberry ones," you gently move jason to sit atop of the toilet seat so that you will be able to comfortably reach his face to place the mask on. he sits obediently as you carefully straighten it out so all of the parts are even. when you are done with him, he watches as you place the mask on your own face, looking in the mirror as you do so.

"you're so pretty," he says when you step back from the mirror once you're satisfied by the placement. you smile at his words thanking him before pulling him up from his seat to pose with you in the mirror. you guys take a couple pics with your phone before returning to the kitchen.

you place the cookies in the oven, setting a timer on your phone, before grabbing your boyfriend’s hand to lead him to your couch.

“okay can you help me move the couch around so that it makes a bed that we can lay on during our movie?” he nods at your words and together you push the pieces of the couch inward to create a giant bed in the middle of your living room. you leave him to fix it up a bit more as you go to your room to bring back more pillows and blankets.

he has his back towards you when you walk in and looks to be checking something on his phone. you smile mischievous before holding up one of the pillows in your hand and smacking him softly on the head.

"what the-" he starts turning around to spot you holding your weapon of choice with a smile.

"oh that's what you're feeling like?" he says, tilting his head in fake shock. he catches you off guard by snatching one of the other pillows out of your grasp and retaliates by striking you back.

you drop the set of blankets you're holding to leave your own pillow in hand and the two of you go head to head in a semi-competitive pillow fight. the living room is filled with giggles as you try your best to avoid jason's blows in favor of successfully completing yours.

jason is closing in the distance when your alarm for the cookies goes off and you both freeze before registering the sound. he drops the pillow on the couch and points at you.

"you're lucky the timer went off," he says. squinting playfully at you. you stick your tongue out at him before dropping your pillow on the couch and turning off the timer. you make your way to the kitchen calling over your shoulder, "please arrange the pillows and blankets!"

it takes a couple minutes but you finally fix a good amount of cookies onto a plate and return to the living room where jason is scrolling through movies to watch. you laugh as you register that the mask is still on his face.

"dessert is hereee," you sing, placing the cookies on a side table. you stand in front of your boyfriend, gesturing to his face.

"here, i'll take it off for you," jason scoots up to be in your arm level, wrapping his arms around your waist and squeezing lovingly. you smile at him and remove the mask from his face.

"okay, rub in the excess," you instruct before making your way to the trash to discard the mask. you remove yours as well and return to the living room.

"this okay?" he asks, pointing to the movie which is highlighted on the screen.

your eyes widen at the pick, "yes this is my favorite!"

"i know," he responds smugly.

you look at him with a side eye, "shut up,"

with that, you cuddle in next to him on the makeshift bed, grabbing the plate of cookies and putting it in the middle of the two of you.

"cookie?" you ask. he grabs two off of the plate, tasting one as you return the plate back to the side table.

"good?" he nods, before smiling cheekily.

"tastes even better because we made them together," he replies causing you to roll your eyes at his corniness, but ultimately return his comment with a peck on the cheek.

you pull the blanket up to cover you both and jason presses play on the movie before wrapping his arm around you to cuddle up. you did end up falling asleep only twenty minutes into the movie but it was worth it spending time with your favorite boy.

“hey you made it!” you hear behind you as you follow your friend into the crowd of people standing in the porch area.

“huh?” you mumble, turning around to figure out who is talking to you so closely. your face brightens as you recognize the dark haired man.

"oh hi alex," you reach out to give him a small hug as a greeting. he returns your hug, rubbing your back a little before pulling away.

"did you just get here?" he asks you, waiting patiently for your response.

"yeah, i just met up with my mutual here. she was gonna help me get a drink," you tell him, gesturing towards your friend who is waiting behind you.

"oh okay, i just wanted to make sure everything was all good!" he explains, smiling fondly at you.

"do you wanna come with us to the bar?" you ask, looking up at him. someone calls his name behind him and he turns around quickly to make sure he heard correctly before turning back to you.

"nah i'm going light on the drinking today, i gotta get up to do some important things tomorrow. i just wanted to make sure you got settled in well. i don't wanna take any time away from you and your friends."

"aww okay," you reply, trying not to feel as little disappointment as you can that he won't be having as fun of a time as you. of course he still recognizes the sadness on your face and chuckles a little, squeezing your hand.

"if you need anything let me know though, okay?" you nod at his words and continue to follow your friend through the crowd.

-

you don't know how you ended up in the middle of a massive dance circle but here you were having the time of your life. one second you were swaying calmly to an r&b song and then the dj switched to pop/edm mix and your brain flipped a switch.

you could hear the voices of everyone cheering you on and the flashes from phones as they recorded your moves. you smile from ear to ear as you feel the buzz in your body, singing every lyric to the top of your lungs and feeling the music.

the dj finally gives you a break by switching the song again and everyone disperses. as much fun as you had in the circle, you can not deny that you are out of breath because of it.

you take your time moving through the crowd, carefully not to go too fast because the adrenaline of being the center of attention has caught up to you. finally finding a lone couch, you take a seat to catch your breath and people watch.

a few people wave and smile as they spot you, which you return happily, not losing your spark despite needing to take a breath. you open your phone to check if anyone important has tried to contact you and are interrupted with a tap on the shoulder.

"you okay?" the voice asks. you look up and for the second time tonight are met with alex, this time looking super concerned.

with a dopey smile you greet, "oh heyyy alex!"

"hey y/n," he responds, crouching down to match your eye level, "you okay?" he repeats.

"umm," you start, tilting your head and looking towards the sky. you return your gaze back to him, "i think i drank too much,"

he laughs at your admission before speaking, "yeah, i think so too. you wanna come with me and get away from the crowd?" he asks, patiently waiting for you to answer.

"yes please," with that alex stands back up to his proper height. he holds out his arms for you to steady yourself with as you stand. he offers his arm for you to loop yours with and leads you through the crowd of people.

he makes one stop at the community cooler, leaning down to pull out a fresh water bottle and handing it to you, before continuing to lead you into the main house, which definitely has a calmer vibe than the outside area.

he turns to you, "are you stable enough to walk up the stairs?"

you nod and the two of you continue upstairs, making it all the way to adapt's room.

"drink your water, i'll be right back," he says as he leaves you sitting on the bed to walk into his closet.

you complete your task of hydrating yourself and adapt walks back in with two items in his hand.

"here's the sweatpants you left last time," he says placing the mentioned item next to you on the bed. "and i brought your favorite blanket of mine 'cause i know you get cold easily," he finishes, placing the second item down.

you thank him with a small smile, your buzzed brain feeling extra shy in response to his generous actions.

his phone dings in his pocket and he pulls it out to check it. after reading, he looks hesitant but turns to you anyways, "i'll be right back okay, get as comfortable as you want."

he leaves the room giving you some time to change your bottoms, drink some water and lay down on his bed with the spare blanket. you feel yourself drifting into sleep as you lay on your side with your hands under your face.

alexs knocks on the door as a warning in case you are still changing, and then opens it slowly before fully entering as he sees you are clothed. he reaches the side of the bed where you are laying and once again crouches down to your height.

"hey, i know you're probably already comfortable but i just wanted to let you know they're gonna start telling people to leave soon. did you want me to drive you home or are you gonna stay here in my room?" he asks, looking at you softly.

you sigh sleepily, before opening your eyes to answer, "i'll stay here with you if that's okay?"

alex gives you a small smile in response, "it's all good, just wanted to make sure,"

thinking the conversation is done, you shut your eyes once again. you feel alex as he reaches out to move a stray piece of hair out of your face and speaks again, "alright i'm gonna let your friend downstairs know and i'll be right back to check on you?"

you hear him but you can only give an incoherent mumble that sounds close enough to a sound of acceptance, and the last thing you hear is the sound of adapt's laughter as you drift off into dreamland.

-

So how this goes is Core was hosting a party and Y/N is drinking even tho she knows she can’t take alcohol well (in the sense she gets drunk quick) and adapt being the noticing and protective friend (talking stage) has to be the one to get her to stop and take care of her. 👀

Keep up the good work ❤️

take care - adapt

summary: you get a little too lit at a core party and adapt takes care of you after noticing

“hey you made it!” you hear behind you as you follow your friend into the crowd of people standing in the porch area.

“huh?” you mumble, turning around to figure out who is talking to you so closely. your face brightens as you recognize the dark haired man.

"oh hi alex," you reach out to give him a small hug as a greeting. he returns your hug, rubbing your back a little before pulling away.

"did you just get here?" he asks you, waiting patiently for your response.

"yeah, i just met up with my mutual here. she was gonna help me get a drink," you tell him, gesturing towards your friend who is waiting behind you.

"oh okay, i just wanted to make sure everything was all good!" he explains, smiling fondly at you.

"do you wanna come with us to the bar?" you ask, looking up at him. someone calls his name behind him and he turns around quickly to make sure he heard correctly before turning back to you.

"nah i'm going light on the drinking today, i gotta get up to do some important things tomorrow. i just wanted to make sure you got settled in well. i don't wanna take any time away from you and your friends."

"aww okay," you reply, trying not to feel as little disappointment as you can that he won't be having as fun of a time as you. of course he still recognizes the sadness on your face and chuckles a little, squeezing your hand.

"if you need anything let me know though, okay?" you nod at his words and continue to follow your friend through the crowd.

-

you don't know how you ended up in the middle of a massive dance circle but here you were having the time of your life. one second you were swaying calmly to an r&b song and then the dj switched to pop/edm mix and your brain flipped a switch.

you could hear the voices of everyone cheering you on and the flashes from phones as they recorded your moves. you smile from ear to ear as you feel the buzz in your body, singing every lyric to the top of your lungs and feeling the music.

the dj finally gives you a break by switching the song again and everyone disperses. as much fun as you had in the circle, you can not deny that you are out of breath because of it.

you take your time moving through the crowd, carefully not to go too fast because the adrenaline of being the center of attention has caught up to you. finally finding a lone couch, you take a seat to catch your breath and people watch.

a few people wave and smile as they spot you, which you return happily, not losing your spark despite needing to take a breath. you open your phone to check if anyone important has tried to contact you and are interrupted with a tap on the shoulder.

"you okay?" the voice asks. you look up and for the second time tonight are met with alex, this time looking super concerned.

with a dopey smile you greet, "oh heyyy alex!"

"hey y/n," he responds, crouching down to match your eye level, "you okay?" he repeats.

"umm," you start, tilting your head and looking towards the sky. you return your gaze back to him, "i think i drank too much,"

he laughs at your admission before speaking, "yeah, i think so too. you wanna come with me and get away from the crowd?" he asks, patiently waiting for you to answer.

"yes please," with that alex stands back up to his proper height. he holds out his arms for you to steady yourself with as you stand. he offers his arm for you to loop yours with and leads you through the crowd of people.

he makes one stop at the community cooler, leaning down to pull out a fresh water bottle and handing it to you, before continuing to lead you into the main house, which definitely has a calmer vibe than the outside area.

he turns to you, "are you stable enough to walk up the stairs?"

you nod and the two of you continue upstairs, making it all the way to adapt's room.

"drink your water, i'll be right back," he says as he leaves you sitting on the bed to walk into his closet.

you complete your task of hydrating yourself and adapt walks back in with two items in his hand.

"here's the sweatpants you left last time," he says placing the mentioned item next to you on the bed. "and i brought your favorite blanket of mine 'cause i know you get cold easily," he finishes, placing the second item down.

you thank him with a small smile, your buzzed brain feeling extra shy in response to his generous actions.

his phone dings in his pocket and he pulls it out to check it. after reading, he looks hesitant but turns to you anyways, "i'll be right back okay, get as comfortable as you want."

he leaves the room giving you some time to change your bottoms, drink some water and lay down on his bed with the spare blanket. you feel yourself drifting into sleep as you lay on your side with your hands under your face.

alexs knocks on the door as a warning in case you are still changing, and then opens it slowly before fully entering as he sees you are clothed. he reaches the side of the bed where you are laying and once again crouches down to your height.

"hey, i know you're probably already comfortable but i just wanted to let you know they're gonna start telling people to leave soon. did you want me to drive you home or are you gonna stay here in my room?" he asks, looking at you softly.

you sigh sleepily, before opening your eyes to answer, "i'll stay here with you if that's okay?"

alex gives you a small smile in response, "it's all good, just wanted to make sure,"

thinking the conversation is done, you shut your eyes once again. you feel alex as he reaches out to move a stray piece of hair out of your face and speaks again, "alright i'm gonna let your friend downstairs know and i'll be right back to check on you?"

you hear him but you can only give an incoherent mumble that sounds close enough to a sound of acceptance, and the last thing you hear is the sound of adapt's laughter as you drift off into dreamland.

“chat!” jason yells. “we all know what day it is,” he watches as the moniter goes in super speed.

chat00 we ready

chat00 pre healed

chat00 wwwwww

“y’all wanted this so bad and we hit the sub goal so we will be on the way to the beach soon,” he clicks some things on his screen while continuing to talk.

“but before that we will be doing desktop while we wait for the special guest to arrive,” he spends time going through his reddit and responding to the chats questions about the day before getting a knock on the door.

he looks at the screen, “chat, it might be time,” he fixes the camera to make it full screen before walking towards the room door.

chat00 finallyyy

chat00 yesss beach incoming

the chat hears you before they see you, “heyyy,” you hug jason before walking towards the desktop.

“what’s up chat!” you say smiling at waving at the monitor.

chat00 HIIIII

chat00 so pretty

chat00 W y/n

“aww you guys are so nice,” you say reading all of the comments. jason moves behind you with another chair.

“you can take my chair,” you turn to look at him.

“you sure?” you ask. he nods while pushing it towards you.

“thank you,” you say, smiling sweetly before sitting down and placing your bag in your lap.

jason grabs the mouse clicking a couple more things while talking, “we got the beautiful y/n here, we’re about to have a w stream i can already feel it,”

he turns to you, “you ready for the beach?”

you nod excitedly, “yes i bought a new swimsuit and everything! we’re getting in the water right?”

“we can do anything you want to do,” jason replies, which makes your face start to feel warm as you turn away to avoid eye contact and read the chat.

chat00 w jason

chat00 pre ship edits

jason takes back your attention with a small clap to gather his thoughts, “okay game plan. we go to the store, grab some food for a little picnic, unless you wanna just stop at a drive thru to get food, and we can also get like some sunscreen and other beach essentials.”

you turn to him with wide eyes, “oh my gosh, i have a picnic basket in my car, we should get some sushi or sandwiches or something,”

“that low-key sounds fire. we could go to erewhon to get the sushi, you okay with that?”

“yesss let’s do it,” you say grinning at jason.

jason claps his hands excitedly before turning back to his monitor and clicking through it “alright we can ride in my car, let me set up the irl. jawhn!”

you hear someone walk through the door behind you and turn around to see jason’s cameraman fiddling with the camera gear.

“hi jawhn,” you say waving at him. the mentioned guy nods his head at you in greeting and continues trying to fix the camera. you turn back to read the comments while you wait.

chat00 hii

chat00 get some buckets to make a sandcastle

chat00 w jawhn

“ooh someone says we should make sandcastles,” you say turning to jason, observing as he picks up things around his room.

“ooh that could be a good idea, we might have to go to a different store though,” jason replies, glancing at you.

“i’m okay with that!” you respond, smiling at his words. you pick up your bag as you watch the screen change into the irl camera. jason grabs his keys off his desk and gestures for you to follow.

he leads you out the front door and to the passenger door of his car, but you stop in your tracks. “oh wait let me grab the basket, can you take this?” you ask holding out your bag for him.

“yes ma’am,” he grabs your bag and you head towards your car, grabbing the picnic basket and blanket out of the trunk. you turn to head back towards jason's car where he has the door open for you to get in. you sit in the car putting the blanket at your feet and turn to put the basket in the back seat. by the time you are done situating yourself, jason has made it into the driver's seat, with jawhn sitting in the back to film you two.

"chat, is everything good?" jason asks aloud, causing you to pull out your phone to monitor the audience feedback which you are sure jawhn is doing as well.

chat00 we good

chat00 yesss all good

"everyone says it's good," you say as jason reverses out of his parking space.

"perfect let's get to it,"

-

"okay which one should we get?" jason asks pointing at the selections of sushi in front of you. you bend a little to be able to read the contents of each box, trying to determine which will be the best.

"hmm, i think..." you pick up a box filled with different types of sushi and sashimi, "...this one. it has a little bit of everything,"

you move closer to jason to show him the contents of the box and he looks over your shoulder to read it with you.

"yeah, whatever you want, this looks good," he replies with a small smile. you place the sushi in the small cart as an acknowledgement of his words.

chat00 y'all are the cutest

chat00 jason folding under zero pressure lmaoo

"we can probably get some drinks at the beach," you say following after jason. he leads you to the part of the store which houses the sunscreen and other outside essentials. he picks up the sunscreen while talking.

"yeah we can do that, do you want anymore snacks like dessert or anything?" you tilt your head contemplating before nodding.

"yess actually some fruit would be really nice," you lead him to the fruit section, hearing him ask the chat a few questions before putting all of his attention back on you. you select another multipack and put it in the basket.

"i think that's all," he nods at your words and makes eye contact with you.

"you sure? because you can get anything you want, it's on me,"

"i'm okay! thanks though," you reply with a chuckle. with that, jason leads you towards the checkout line to pay for the items and you take the time to read the chat.

chat00 w selections

chat00 this is a top tier segment

chat00 swimsuit coverup from where?

"oh my coverup! i actually made it! 1 of 1," you answer the chat, looking at the camera which jawhn holds in front of you. jason turns around and faces you, looking down at your outfit.

"oh you made this?" he asks pointing to your crochet cover.

you smile, "yesss, it's so cute right?" you reply excitedly, doing a little spin.

"yeah, i would've never thought. it looks so good. how long did it take you?" jason asks looking genuinely curious as he waits for your response.

"not that long since it's mesh, i've made a few but i've never really gotten to wear them out," you answer walking behind him as he pushes the cart forward to stay caught up with the checkout line.

"guess we're gonna have to go to the beach more so i can see all of them," he says before making a goofy face towards the camera.

"shut up!" you exclaim as you playfully shove him.

-

"okay guys we have finally made it to the beach," jason exclaims as he puts the car in park. he opens the door to round the car and let you out, which you thank him for. you grab your bag and blanket while jason grabs the picnic basket, which houses the food that you bought at erewhon.

"it's so pretty out here chat!" you say as you look out into the water. jawhn points the camera towards the beach where you are looking so the chat will be able to experience what you are talking about.

you follow jason as he walks on the sand getting a fair enough distance from the water before turning to you.

"this a good spot?" he asks, continuing to survey the beach.

"this spot is perfect!" you reply, and start to lay the blanket onto the ground, burying the corners with sand. jason places your basket in the middle of the blanket while jawhn sets up the tripod to face you.

"oh shoot i forgot something in the car, can y'all stay with the chat real quick," jason asks as he stands up from the blanket.

"yes we got it," you nod, watching as jason walks off before turning back to the chat.

chat00 jawhn third wheel

chat00 the beach looks so nice

"guys jawhn isn't third wheeling, we're all friends," you say aloud, looking up at the mentioned person. he makes a face behind the camera causing you to laugh.

"at least i'm getting free food," he responds, his words barely being caught due to the wind. you continue to talk to the chat until jason comes back to the blanket with his hands full. your eyes widen as you recognize the items.

"oh my gosh! mangonada," you exclaim enthusiastically, holding your hands out to grab one of the three he has in the cup carrier. you take a sip and make a sound of delight.

"thanks jason," you say, reaching over to give him a little side hug when he sits.

"of course, of course, 'saw the cart when we came in and i remember you said you wanted some at erewhon," he replies before sipping a little out of his own drink.

chat00 the toughest

chat00 www jason

"okay let's open the sushi," you reach into the basket pulling out the food, chopsticks, and little plates handing a pair to each person.

"you get first pick," jason says, looking at you while pointing to the sushi box.

"okay!" you pick up your plate and use your chopsticks to choose the most appetizing looking pieces. after you pick yours, the boys pick out theirs.

you eat and chat for a little with each other, people watching a bit. when you're done with your first selection of sushi, you pick out another to eat a piece of.

"ooh did you get this one?" you ask jason, pointing to the piece of sushi on your plate. jason shakes his head no.

"do you want to try it?" you respond, glancing at him.

"sure," he says. you pick up the piece of sushi and bring it towards his mouth, holding your hand under the food in case it drops. jason opens his mouth, eating the food.

"oh yeah that one is good," he mutters, his mouth still a little full.

"yeah we low-key should have got a full box of these," you say before looking back down at the chat.

chat00 ???

chat00 OMGGG

chat00 w kiss

"why are y'all saying kiss, we didn't kiss?" jason asks, looking at the camera confused.

"it's because y'all shared chopsticks. it's an indirect kiss," jawhn explains nonchalantly, continuing to scroll on his phone. your jaw drops at his words as you feel your face go warm.

"yo what," jason says giggling nervously.

chat00 y'all are so cute

-

"you full?" jason asks, watching you as you take a sip of your drink. you nod at his words.

"wanna go to the water now?" you ask him while placing the box of leftovers in the basket.

"yeah let's do it," jason helps you tidy up the blanket while jawhn picks up the camera. you take off your cover up and place it neatly on the blanket where you were sitting.

"wait what if someone steals the basket?" you wonder aloud.

jason shakes his head, "they shouldn't but if they do i'll buy you a new one,"

you shyly smile before following jason to the shore. "can you take a picture of me in the water,"

"yeah i gotchu,"

the two of you spend time on the shore getting photo ops and making jawhn record your tiktoks. you finally move further into the water enjoying the coolness as you watch the sunset.

you look at the water before smirking a little as you side eye jason, who is momentarily in his own world. you gesture jawhn to back up a little before bending down to splash the water towards jason's direction.

"what the-!" he exclaims holding his arm towards his face to block the water. he retaliates by splashing the water your way, causing you to giggle as you back away. the two of you continue your water war before jason starts making his way towards you causing you to back up quickly.

"no no no," you say laughing while backing away. you are too slow as jason reaches you, going to pick you and finally dunk you into the water. you scream and your body meets the water, continuing to laugh at his actions.

"jason!" you yell with a smile. you hold onto his neck to pull him down to make his full body wet as well.

jason picks you up with his hands under your back and legs and carries you back to the shore towards jawhn.

"found a mermaid chat," jason jokes setting you down, feet first back onto the sand.

"that was really fun," you voiced following jason back to your picnic setup.

"yeah w beach segment chat,"

summary: four times where you try not to be phased by your friend adapt’s new habit of buying you whatever you want and the last time where you realize maybe he does want to be more than friends

not my photo - creds to lindsluvss on pinterest

cw: very surface level friends to lovers (by my standards), mention of pills (medicine), fluffy but kinda cringy fluff, sorry i'm so bad at writing endings, i use adapt and alex interchangeably, it was fem coded in my head but tried to make it as gender neutral as possible using 2nd pov, 3.78k words

#1 - just a drink

it started with small stuff. you remember how you met him a couple months ago. you were invited to the core house for a kickback through a mutual friend and had been having a blast but needed a little breather and a cup of water to bring you back to earth. you ended up in the kitchen finding that adapt happened to be in there for the same reason as you. you two spent time talking for way longer than you meant to, having such a fun conversation that you ended up swapping numbers.

fast forward to now, the months spent talking made adapt earn a spot as one of your closest friends since getting to know each other. currently, you were spending time waiting on alex to be back from whatever video shoot he said he was busy at. you had gone ahead and driven to the core house to meet him there so he wouldn't have to go out of the way to pick you up from yours. the two of you had planned to have a movie night and catch up on a tv series that you both had been planning to watch. your friends tried to convince you that it was a date but you promised it wasn't.

you are knocked out of your thoughts by a drink blocking your vision. you look up a little more and see a hand is attached to it. you grab onto the drink and turn around at the same time making eye contact with alex.

'just who i was thinking about'

"thank you," you say smiling at him. "no problem, we had stopped at in-and-out and i know you said you weren't hungry, but i just went ahead and got you a drink."

"thanks a lot! ooh and it's my favorite," you get up and start following him to the movie room.

"yeah i remember you had said something about it once so i just pulled it out of my brain inventory and was like this should be the right choice," he replied nonchalantly.

you simply laughed at his little metaphor and sipped your drink thinking nothing of it.

#2 - the flowers (kinda)

"ooh these are so cute," you say offhandedly looking at the lego flowers sitting on ron's nightstand. it was another day of you hanging with adapt which at this point started to feel more like you following him around the house. not that you were complaining.

ron and adapt look over from their chat to see what you're referring to. you point at the flowers. "i love these little builds. i haven't gotten around to buying one yet,"

ron nods, "oh yeah my girlfriend picked those out and we built it together. that's her favorite type of flower,"

you smile at his words and look back at the bouquet. "she has good taste, tulips are so pretty."

"is that your favorite flower?" adapt asks looking at you.

you shake your head, "no but they are a close second, my favorite are orchids," you reply with no hesitation, moving on to inspect some of the other figures in ron's room, oblivious to adapt's sudden quietness.

you don't realize the meaning of his quietness until a couple of days later when you're sitting in the kitchen eating with him. you're listening to him talk about some of his next streaming ideas when he stops himself.

"oh i forgot-" he says and jumps up, "be right back!" he states as he runs upstairs for a reason unbeknownst to you.

he comes back with his hands behind his back asking you to close your eyes. you laugh at his attempt to be secretive but listen to his request. you hear something get placed on the table.

"alright you can open them,"

you open your eyes and the first thing you notice is the lego logo. looking closer you realize that the box is for lego orchids. you feel your eyes widen with excitement.

"omg alex i was just talking about these the other day!" you say, picking up the box to inspect it more.

"i know," adapt says watching you fondly. "gilly and i were in target the other day and ended up in that section somehow and i had remembered your words."

'more like i spent twenty minutes searching target by myself to find these so i could see you happy', he thinks.

his wish comes true as he watches your smile brighten.

"thanks so much for thinking of me," you say. your mouth opens to say something else but you quickly close it again as your thoughts catch up to you.

'i want to build it with him but i don't want him to think that i'm trying to make our friendship more than it is'

"of course, you know i care about you a lot,"

you remain clueless to the fact that he did want you to ask if he wanted to build it with you.

'guess i'll try harder,' he thinks.

#3 - the sunglasses

“about what time will you be ready do you think?” you hear adapt ask as you rummage through your closet for your swimsuit. he had invited you out to their pool party and offered to pick you up so you wouldn’t have to worry about driving since the party would probably end up going late. you make your way back to microphone distance of your phone. “give me about two hours, i gotta take a shower and all that,” you reply throwing your clothes on the bed. you make your way back to your vanity where your phone is resting and see adapt moving around as well.

“okay that sounds good, do you need anything?” he asks stopping to look directly at his phone, at you.

you keep moving though, getting up to arrange your products for your shower in the bathroom. “uh no i think i’m okay-,” you cut yourself off with a gasp as your foot steps directly on an object on the floor, making a loud crunch sound. you remove the blanket covering the broken object and gasp again.

“omg i just stepped directly on my favorite pair of sunglasses, i was going to wear these today!” you say sadly, picking up the pieces to put on your vanity.

“oh no, what kind are they?” adapt asks still looking at you in the screen. you turn your camera around to show the glasses on your desk.

“they’re just turtle shell, i was gonna wear brown or black swim gear but i guess i’ll go find some other color.” you respond, turning the camera back around to face you.

“no i think you should stick with what you got. it was your first choice right?”

you nod at his words, “yeah worst case scenario if the sun is too bright i can just run to the dollar tree real quick to get an emergency pair,”

“great plan-”, he is cut off by someone yelling his name in the background.

“hey i gotta go but i’ll text you when i’m on the way okay?” -

you smile at adapt as he stands outside his car waiting for you to walk up so he can open the door. he sees you coming and immediately smiles back.

“you look pretty,” you thank him and try not to blush or take to heart his kind words as he shuts your car door and makes his way to the drivers seat.

‘he’s just being nice’

you are snapped out of your thoughts from adapt closing his own car door and turn to watch him as he buckles his seatbelt and checks his phone for any unread messages.

“just making sure nobody asked me to get anything before we head back,” you nod quietly and look around the car, noticing something at your feet. upon further inspection it seems to be a gift bag.

“oh are we celebrating someone’s birthday at the party?” you ask looking up at him. he sets his phone down in the cup holder and puts the car in drive.

“oh no that’s for you,”

you make a confused face but pick the bag up anyways. “what could you have gotten me?”

“gonna have to open it and see,” he says making a turn at a stop sign.

you open the bag and are met with an oval shaped container which you pull out. you open the container and the contents make you look at your friend in disbelief.

“adapt you did not need to get me new sunglasses. i told you i could’ve just went to dollar tree!” you say with a slight laugh.

he waves you off, “i had time to go before getting you and we have a sunglasses store near the house so i just stopped. those looked the most similar to the ones you showed me earlier. ‘didn’t want your fit to be thrown off,”

“you are so thoughtful! these look way better quality than the ones i had,” you say, pulling out the glasses and examining them.

“yeah they might be able to survive your godzilla foot,” he says, holding down a laugh as he takes a quick glance at you.

you respond with your own laugh and playfully hit him on the arm.

#4 - express delivery

“oh sorry were you sleeping?” adapt asks as he struggles to make out your face in your curtain drawn room.

“no i'm just too lazy to get up. i woke up earlier with a headache and figured i would keep the blinds closed," you reply, reaching over to turn on your sunset lamp next to your bed.

“are you okay?” your friend asks and you see genuine concern on his face.

“i'm good don't worry! i probably just worked a little too hard, luckily it's my day off. i'm just gonna bed rot probably," you reply with a slight chuckle.

“you need anything?”

“the real answer to that question would be yes, a dozen cookies would heal me right now but that can’t really come true so i'm just gonna say no. i already have medicine and water. thanks though!”

adapt continues to look a little disturbed at your condition but tries to fix his face, "alright well i'm gonna be streaming soon but if you need anything text me or if it's an emergency call me,"

"just a headache but i appreciate it! have a fun stream,"

the two of you hang up and you continue to scroll a little bit more before feeling a little more of your headache which causes you to push past your laziness to grab some medicine and water. you check your medicine drawer for the correct pills and then make your way to the kitchen to fill up your water bottle.

suddenly your front door bell rings and you get a little confused as you were expecting no guests but walk to the door anyways. looking through the peephole, you spot no one but go to open it anyways.

as you open the door you are met with a bag on your doorstep. you bend down to read the tag because surely the driver got it wrong but the address does read correctly.

“okay…” you turn the bag around to look for a note and lo and behold there it is.

--hope this heals you.. need you to have maximum hp--

you do happen to know someone who loves to talk in game metaphors. laughing aloud, you pick up the bag to bring it inside. placing it on the countertop, you pull out the decent size box and open it.

your jaw drops as you are met with a dozen of your favorite cookies, just as you had mentioned earlier. you pick up your phone off the counter and immediately open your message threads.

alex i was literally joking, no way you sent these - you

like i said i need you to have max hp let me know when you’re healed - adapt

you grab a cookie out of the box and take a bite, instantly falling in love with the taste. turning the camera around, you hold it up and take a selfie with the treat in your hand.

you send the picture with one line, healed <3

#5 - the party and the after (shopping) party

once again, you find yourself sitting on the couch in the core house yapping with jason about nothing while waiting for adapt to end his stream.

"wait, you know about my birthday party on friday right?" jason asked as you two had found a break in the conversation.

you nod at his question, "yeah alex told me that you told him to invite me, so i'll be there!"

"yeah it's gonna be here so i don't wanna hear anything about you having to go home early or nothing. you know you'll just end up in adapt's room like you do after every other function," he says matter-of-factly.

you swat him with one of the throw pillows after hearing his words. "shut up! i already said i was going!”

jason blocks your hits with his hand, "alright just wanted to make sure," he smirks and continues, "can’t wait to see my favorite couple,"

you roll your eyes, "shut up we are not a couple. adapt does not like me like that,"

"oh so you like him like that?"

"jason!" you yell in a scolding tone, this time aiming to throw the pillow at his head.

"alright! i’ll stop trolling," he gets up to start walking towards his room probably to escape before you think about throwing anymore furniture at him.

"text me gift ideas!" you yell after him, rolling your eyes again with a smile.

-

"you look so comfy," you say to adapt, who is dressed in a oversized tan hoodie. you had just arrived at the party which seemed to be in full swing judging by the size of the crowd and the volume of the music. you texted adapt as soon as you made it through the front door and found him waiting for you by the staircase.

"yeah i was laying upstairs until you got here so i could have my first shot with you. 'might have accidentally taken a nap but you know," he says with a sleepy smile.

"aww that’s sweet. c'mon, let’s go take one then," you grab his hand to lead him through the throng of people. you catch the eye of the birthday boy jason, who judging by his color and slight sway, seemed to be a little lit already.

"jason come take a shot with me and alex!" the boy follows your duo happily causing you to laugh as you realize that your assumption about his tipsiness might be true.

five shots later and you find yourself in the same inebriated position as jason, laying with your head at the end of adapt's bed while he sits at his desk chair, both of you on the cusp of drunkenness.

the two of you scroll on your phones in a comfortable silence. you felt yourself getting a little dizzy so adapt brought you upstairs to get out of the crowd but now you’re bored and will probably fall asleep soon.

feeling your eyes start to get heavy, you close them and shut off your phone, laying with your hands underneath your head.

“alex?”

"hmm?" he responds half asleep himself.

"can you get me a blanket?" he doesn’t respond verbally but you hear him walk towards his couch and the next thing you know your body is warm. you feel the bed dip again and figure that he’s laid down as well, probably the correct way. you are almost fully asleep before your drunken mind convinces you to talk more.

"someone had on the cutest shirt downstairs..."

"yeah?" alex responds, sounding just as sleepy as you think your brain feels.

"mhm and they told me they got it from the mall. i have to go tomorrow," you sigh and turn over, not even listening for your friend's response, and finally fall into slumber with the faded music providing white noise.

—

you wake up to water and headache medicine next to your head and groggily take it. right as you finish your sip of water, in adapt walks, shutting the door behind with his foot. he notices you are awake when he looks up.

“oh hey, the guys ordered food and i put your order in,” he states, placing the food on the bed for you to grab.

"thank you," you reply grabbing the meal.

"no problem. i also put towels in the bathroom so whenever you’re ready you can get showered and we can go," he says casually sitting down at his desk to mess around with his pc.

you wave him off, "oh it’s okay, i’ll just get an uber home,"

alex turns around in his chair to look at you, "oh i didn’t mean home. i was gonna drive us to the mall,"

"the mall?" you reply, confused.

"yeah, you said you wanted to go last night."

you pause for a second before responding, "i do vaguely remember that but i can go by myself, you’re probably busy today,"

you watch as he shakes his head, "no it’s okay. i gotta go too i just figured we’d make a trip out of it," he explains nonchalantly.

"let me know when you’re ready. no rush,"

-

and here the two of you are walking through the mall. a comfortable distance between as you scan the stores.

you turn to adapt, "you wanna just separate and go to different stores and then meet back up for food?"

adapt tilts his head like he's thinking, "nah, i think i’ll just tag along with you, if that’s okay?"

you try not to think too much about it and shrug, "okay,"

you lead him to the first store, "well let’s get what i wanted most,"

you look around the store flipping through the hangers of clothes and looking at the walls before widening your eyes when you recognize.

"ooh the top!" you move to the section, feeling alex walking behind you. you pick up two colors which you feel look the best and hold it up to your body.

"hmm, which color looks better?" you ask, turning to alex while holding them out in front of you.

"hold them up in front of your body again?" you do as he asks and he tilts his head.

"i like the purple,"

you nod and smile, "correct answer,"

you put the other back and continue to walk around the store. you’re amazed at how adapt seems to not be bored at all as he watches you pick up and place things down.

you become a little indecisive with a particular pair of shorts before adapt speaks up.

"you should get them,"

"really?" you confirm, sneaking a glance at him.

"yeah i think they’ll look really good on you,"

you narrow your eyes at the garment, "not what i would usually get but i’ll trust your word,"

with that, you figured you looked around enough so you lead adapt to the front register. the two of you wait in line for a little bit before you finally get to the front and are able to set your items down on the counter.

the cashier gets to scanning the items and it takes you a second to pull out your card. you’re looking through your wallet but get confused and pause when you hear ‘transaction approved’.

looking up, you confirm on the screen that it was in fact paid for. adapt looks nonchalant as you turn to him.

"did you just pay for that?" you say with an ounce of distress.

"mhm,"

"why?"

"you wanted it so i just figured you can save your money cause i have it,"

you continue to stare at him unable to form any words. he laughs at your facial expression.

"don't worry about it. where do you wanna go next?" he asks, picking up the bags of items to carry for you.

you’re so taken aback but try to get over it quickly, “um thanks. i guess we can go to your store next,”

"alright, let's go,"

and that’s how the trip continues. every time you do so much as mention that you want something in a store or even stare at it a little longer than usual, adapt seems to be ready to buy it. he won't even let you stand near the register, instead hurrying up and tapping his card before you can even think about it. he walks out of every store carrying all of the bags because he refuses to let you do it.

the two of you end up in the food court after you get tired of shopping. you figured that you can eat there and save from having to stop on the way back to dropping you off home, adapt drops the tray on the table as he returns from retrieving the two of y'all's order. you start eating but your brain is so overloaded that you can't stop yourself from speaking.

"so elephant in the room, why'd you buy all this stuff for me today?"

he shrugs at your words, "i don't know. i just like taking care of you. when you're happy, i'm happy."

you pause for a second, drinking your drink as you think, before just letting it rip, "like in a friend way?"

he pauses too, causing your heart to drop. he looks up at you and watches your expression as he speaks.

"would you be upset if i said no?"

you smile a little bit sadly, "no because i was trying to ignore my feelings so you wouldn’t be upset,"

he looks genuinely confused, "why would i be upset?"

"i thought you were just being friendly this whole time but now i realize you were basically trying to court me with gifts," you reply with a little laugh.

he laughs at your words, "sorry my love language is gift giving," he says before making a scared face.

"not that i've reached love, its just the saying-"

"-i know alex," you say cutting him off with another giggle. you place your hand on top of his across the table.

"i really appreciate your thoughtfulness towards me and i enjoyed this day out with you," you finish, squeezing his hand with a shy smile.

he squeezes your hand in reciprocation, "of course. you deserve it. ever since i met you all those months ago i knew we were meant to be together. i just had to build up the courage to leave the friendship stage. i’m glad you were able to catch on because i didn’t know how much more i could buy without seeming suspicious," he concludes with a laugh.

"i mean you basically tried to buy the whole mall for me today so i would say mission accomplished," you joked, pointing the bags sitting next to him.

he waves you off, "just wait for my gift when i ask you to be mine for real."

-

The gender can be gender neutral or male preferably male but if you don't want to write male that's fine with me.

So Adapt and Y/N have been friends for a good few months and adapt has started to gain feelings for Y/N so he started buying y/n gifts and such and y/n is just blind to all of this

On the night of Jason’s birthday Y/N and adapt are hanging out, both are drunk Y/N is just bored and randomly mentioning to adapt that y/n wanted to go to the mall in the morning to buy new stuff excepting adapt to not remember that little comment but in the morning adapt is ready to go to the mall early and ready to spoil Y/n

Thanks for reading this and even taking your time to look at this

Sorry if it’s all over the place I wrote this while severely tired

throw it in - adapt

summary: four times where you try not to be phased by your friend adapt’s new habit of buying you whatever you want and the last time where you realize maybe he does want to be more than friends

not my photo - creds to lindsluvss on pinterest

cw: very surface level friends to lovers (by my standards), mention of pills (medicine), fluffy but kinda cringy fluff, sorry i'm so bad at writing endings, i use adapt and alex interchangeably, it was fem coded in my head but tried to make it as gender neutral as possible using 2nd pov, 3.78k words

#1 - just a drink

it started with small stuff. you remember how you met him a couple months ago. you were invited to the core house for a kickback through a mutual friend and had been having a blast but needed a little breather and a cup of water to bring you back to earth. you ended up in the kitchen finding that adapt happened to be in there for the same reason as you. you two spent time talking for way longer than you meant to, having such a fun conversation that you ended up swapping numbers.

fast forward to now, the months spent talking made adapt earn a spot as one of your closest friends since getting to know each other. currently, you were spending time waiting on alex to be back from whatever video shoot he said he was busy at. you had gone ahead and driven to the core house to meet him there so he wouldn't have to go out of the way to pick you up from yours. the two of you had planned to have a movie night and catch up on a tv series that you both had been planning to watch. your friends tried to convince you that it was a date but you promised it wasn't.

you are knocked out of your thoughts by a drink blocking your vision. you look up a little more and see a hand is attached to it. you grab onto the drink and turn around at the same time making eye contact with alex.

'just who i was thinking about'

"thank you," you say smiling at him. "no problem, we had stopped at in-and-out and i know you said you weren't hungry, but i just went ahead and got you a drink."

"thanks a lot! ooh and it's my favorite," you get up and start following him to the movie room.

"yeah i remember you had said something about it once so i just pulled it out of my brain inventory and was like this should be the right choice," he replied nonchalantly.

you simply laughed at his little metaphor and sipped your drink thinking nothing of it.

#2 - the flowers (kinda)

"ooh these are so cute," you say offhandedly looking at the lego flowers sitting on ron's nightstand. it was another day of you hanging with adapt which at this point started to feel more like you following him around the house. not that you were complaining.

ron and adapt look over from their chat to see what you're referring to. you point at the flowers. "i love these little builds. i haven't gotten around to buying one yet,"

ron nods, "oh yeah my girlfriend picked those out and we built it together. that's her favorite type of flower,"

you smile at his words and look back at the bouquet. "she has good taste, tulips are so pretty."

"is that your favorite flower?" adapt asks looking at you.

you shake your head, "no but they are a close second, my favorite are orchids," you reply with no hesitation, moving on to inspect some of the other figures in ron's room, oblivious to adapt's sudden quietness.

you don't realize the meaning of his quietness until a couple of days later when you're sitting in the kitchen eating with him. you're listening to him talk about some of his next streaming ideas when he stops himself.

"oh i forgot-" he says and jumps up, "be right back!" he states as he runs upstairs for a reason unbeknownst to you.

he comes back with his hands behind his back asking you to close your eyes. you laugh at his attempt to be secretive but listen to his request. you hear something get placed on the table.

"alright you can open them,"

you open your eyes and the first thing you notice is the lego logo. looking closer you realize that the box is for lego orchids. you feel your eyes widen with excitement.

"omg alex i was just talking about these the other day!" you say, picking up the box to inspect it more.

"i know," adapt says watching you fondly. "gilly and i were in target the other day and ended up in that section somehow and i had remembered your words."

'more like i spent twenty minutes searching target by myself to find these so i could see you happy', he thinks.

his wish comes true as he watches your smile brighten.

"thanks so much for thinking of me," you say. your mouth opens to say something else but you quickly close it again as your thoughts catch up to you.

'i want to build it with him but i don't want him to think that i'm trying to make our friendship more than it is'

"of course, you know i care about you a lot,"

you remain clueless to the fact that he did want you to ask if he wanted to build it with you.

'guess i'll try harder,' he thinks.

#3 - the sunglasses

“about what time will you be ready do you think?” you hear adapt ask as you rummage through your closet for your swimsuit. he had invited you out to their pool party and offered to pick you up so you wouldn’t have to worry about driving since the party would probably end up going late. you make your way back to microphone distance of your phone. “give me about two hours, i gotta take a shower and all that,” you reply throwing your clothes on the bed. you make your way back to your vanity where your phone is resting and see adapt moving around as well.

“okay that sounds good, do you need anything?” he asks stopping to look directly at his phone, at you.

you keep moving though, getting up to arrange your products for your shower in the bathroom. “uh no i think i’m okay-,” you cut yourself off with a gasp as your foot steps directly on an object on the floor, making a loud crunch sound. you remove the blanket covering the broken object and gasp again.

“omg i just stepped directly on my favorite pair of sunglasses, i was going to wear these today!” you say sadly, picking up the pieces to put on your vanity.

“oh no, what kind are they?” adapt asks still looking at you in the screen. you turn your camera around to show the glasses on your desk.

“they’re just turtle shell, i was gonna wear brown or black swim gear but i guess i’ll go find some other color.” you respond, turning the camera back around to face you.

“no i think you should stick with what you got. it was your first choice right?”

you nod at his words, “yeah worst case scenario if the sun is too bright i can just run to the dollar tree real quick to get an emergency pair,”

“great plan-”, he is cut off by someone yelling his name in the background.

“hey i gotta go but i’ll text you when i’m on the way okay?”

-

you smile at adapt as he stands outside his car waiting for you to walk up so he can open the door. he sees you coming and immediately smiles back.

“you look pretty,” you thank him and try not to blush or take to heart his kind words as he shuts your car door and makes his way to the drivers seat.

‘he’s just being nice’

you are snapped out of your thoughts from adapt closing his own car door and turn to watch him as he buckles his seatbelt and checks his phone for any unread messages.

“just making sure nobody asked me to get anything before we head back,” you nod quietly and look around the car, noticing something at your feet. upon further inspection it seems to be a gift bag.

“oh are we celebrating someone’s birthday at the party?” you ask looking up at him. he sets his phone down in the cup holder and puts the car in drive.

“oh no that’s for you,”

you make a confused face but pick the bag up anyways. “what could you have gotten me?”

“gonna have to open it and see,” he says making a turn at a stop sign.

you open the bag and are met with an oval shaped container which you pull out. you open the container and the contents make you look at your friend in disbelief.

“adapt you did not need to get me new sunglasses. i told you i could’ve just went to dollar tree!” you say with a slight laugh.

he waves you off, “i had time to go before getting you and we have a sunglasses store near the house so i just stopped. those looked the most similar to the ones you showed me earlier. ‘didn’t want your fit to be thrown off,”

“you are so thoughtful! these look way better quality than the ones i had,” you say, pulling out the glasses and examining them.

“yeah they might be able to survive your godzilla foot,” he says, holding down a laugh as he takes a quick glance at you.

you respond with your own laugh and playfully hit him on the arm.

#4 - express delivery

“oh sorry were you sleeping?” adapt asks as he struggles to make out your face in your curtain drawn room.

“no i'm just too lazy to get up. i woke up earlier with a headache and figured i would keep the blinds closed," you reply, reaching over to turn on your sunset lamp next to your bed.

“are you okay?” your friend asks and you see genuine concern on his face.

“i'm good don't worry! i probably just worked a little too hard, luckily it's my day off. i'm just gonna bed rot probably," you reply with a slight chuckle.

“you need anything?”

“the real answer to that question would be yes, a dozen cookies would heal me right now but that can’t really come true so i'm just gonna say no. i already have medicine and water. thanks though!”

adapt continues to look a little disturbed at your condition but tries to fix his face, "alright well i'm gonna be streaming soon but if you need anything text me or if it's an emergency call me,"

"just a headache but i appreciate it! have a fun stream,"

the two of you hang up and you continue to scroll a little bit more before feeling a little more of your headache which causes you to push past your laziness to grab some medicine and water. you check your medicine drawer for the correct pills and then make your way to the kitchen to fill up your water bottle.

suddenly your front door bell rings and you get a little confused as you were expecting no guests but walk to the door anyways. looking through the peephole, you spot no one but go to open it anyways.

as you open the door you are met with a bag on your doorstep. you bend down to read the tag because surely the driver got it wrong but the address does read correctly.

“okay…” you turn the bag around to look for a note and lo and behold there it is.

you do happen to know someone who loves to talk in game metaphors. laughing aloud, you pick up the bag to bring it inside. placing it on the countertop, you pull out the decent size box and open it.

your jaw drops as you are met with a dozen of your favorite cookies, just as you had mentioned earlier. you pick up your phone off the counter and immediately open your message threads.

you grab a cookie out of the box and take a bite, instantly falling in love with the taste. turning the camera around, you hold it up and take a selfie with the treat in your hand.

you send the picture with one line, healed <3

the two of you end up in the food court after you get tired of shopping. you figured that you can eat there and save from having to stop on the way back to dropping you off home, adapt drops the tray on the table as he returns from retrieving the two of y'all's order. you start eating but your brain is so overloaded that you can't stop yourself from speaking.

"so elephant in the room, why'd you buy all this stuff for me today?"

he shrugs at your words, "i don't know. i just like taking care of you. when you're happy, i'm happy."

you pause for a second, drinking your drink as you think, before just letting it rip, "like in a friend way?"

he pauses too, causing your heart to drop. he looks up at you and watches your expression as he speaks.

"would you be upset if i said no?"

you smile a little bit sadly, "no because i was trying to ignore my feelings so you wouldn’t be upset,"

he looks genuinely confused, "why would i be upset?"

"i thought you were just being friendly this whole time but now i realize you were basically trying to court me with gifts," you reply with a little laugh.

he laughs at your words, "sorry my love language is gift giving," he says before making a scared face.

"not that i've reached love, its just the saying-"

"-i know alex," you say cutting him off with another giggle. you place your hand on top of his across the table.

"i really appreciate your thoughtfulness towards me and i enjoyed this day out with you," you finish, squeezing his hand with a shy smile.

he squeezes your hand in reciprocation, "of course. you deserve it. ever since i met you all those months ago i knew we were meant to be together. i just had to build up the courage to leave the friendship stage. i’m glad you were able to catch on because i didn’t know how much more i could buy without seeming suspicious," he concludes with a laugh.

"i mean you basically tried to buy the whole mall for me today so i would say mission accomplished," you joked, pointing the bags sitting next to him.

he waves you off, "just wait for my gift when i ask you to be mine for real."

you tap your fingers against the steering wheel as you wait for the gate to the house to open for you. humming along to the song playing on the radio, you turn into the parking area making sure that your car is out of the way in case anyone leaves before you.

you put your car into park and pick up your phone to see if you missed any messages while driving. seeing nothing, you open your car door and walk out and around to the other side to pick up the food order from your backseat.

continuing to hum, you grab your purse to put it around your shoulder but notice the manilla envelope laying on the floor of the car. picking it up and looking through it, you notice that it’s your leftover printed graduation invites that you passed out a few months ago to your family members who knew you were in school.

looking a little longer you think, ‘why not’ before grabbing a couple invites out of the envelope and placing them in your bag. finally, you pick up the food bags and close your car door, making your way to the house entrance.

you can tell the door is open so you just kick it slightly with your foot as your hands are full. the foyer is pretty empty, you notice as you walk in. you kick the door shut with your foot and by that time adapt is making his way down the stairs.

“hey you need help?” you don’t refuse and instead reach out an arm of bags to him.

“thanks!” you say with a small smile as adapt follows you toward the kitchen.

“of course,” he replies.

when you guys make it to the kitchen, you notice that almost everyone is already in there talking about some business idea. you think at this point they are probably used to you bringing food around this time of day that they naturally start to gather.

“hey everyone!” you greet and they each respond in their own little way.

you place the stack of boxes on the island and adapt copies your action, stepping back to let you take full reign of separating the food. you set down your bag and pull out your phone to read the food orders so that you can write each name on the corresponding box.

the boys all hover somewhat around you, with silky and lacy discussing which new food items they’ll make for their next cooking segment, ron doomscrolling in the corner on tiktok, marlon drinking from a water bottle, and adapt texting on his phone, probably telling jason that you’ve arrived.

you finish writing names and announce that you’re done, moving out of the way so that everyone has a clear shot at grabbing their food. to your surprise, instead of them all splitting up to go to their normal locations, they all stay at the island to eat.

“thanks y/n, you’re the best,” silky says giving you a side hug on his way to the other side of the island.

“no worries, just doing my job,” you say with a thumbs up. everyone follows up with their version of thank you and you just wave them off moving to tidy up the rest of the kitchen. you place jason’s food in the fridge separate from the extra boxes for the cameramen so that he’ll be able to find it later.

you still have a couple errands to run so you move to grab your purse but notice the cards sitting up. everyone seems to have gone quiet for a second in their phones which causes you to hesitate before just saying ‘yolo’ and pulling them out.

“hey guys,” you start, causing everyone to look up at the sound of your voice. you get a little nervous with all the eyes but swallow it down quickly with a smile.

“i know it’s a little last minute but i just wanted to invite y’all to my graduation this weekend from usc. i have a couple extra invites so if anyone was free and wanted to support that’s up to you all! of course no one is forced to come i promise i have family that will be there regardless,”

you are hit with a wave of “congratulations!” and adapt, the one standing closest to you, reaches out to give you a full body hug.

“of course, i don’t know about everyone else but i should be free! i’ll be there,” he says, giving you a little squeeze before letting you go.

“yo i didn’t even know you were in school this whole time, that’s so awesome!” silky exclaims, reaching out for a high five which you return.

“yeah what’s your major?” ron asks, picking up an invite from the stack that you placed on the table.

“my major is business admin, i did it all online and get to walk on saturday,” you reply happily.

at that moment, jason finally walks in looking a little tired, probably just waking from a nap. he notices the energy of the room and asks “what happened?”

marlon replies, “y/n is graduating from usc and is inviting us to the ceremony this weekend,”

jason widens his eyes in shock and turns to you, opening his arms for a hug, “what! congrats! i’m literally there,”

“looks like we’re all going, i hope you’re prepared for a crowd of supporters,” lacy concludes with a slight chuckle.

you laugh softly with him, “i appreciate you guys. if anything comes up don’t hesitate to attend to that first, the ceremony will probably be boring anyways.”

“no shot. we will be there. matter of fact-,” adapt cuts himself off to grab an invite off the island. he grabs a magnet off the fridge and sticks the picture to the door using it.

“there. so we don’t forget,”

-

you take a deep breath to settle your nerves as you sit in your assigned chair on the floor of the arena. earlier in the day, adapt had texted asking which side of the floor you would be sitting on so that they would be able to get close pictures and videos of you walking. you couldn’t believe they were actually coming. they said they would but it was so last minute that you believed no one would actually have room in their schedule.

you check your phone to see how much time there was left until the event started and at the same time are met with a photo message from the groupchat which you use to communicate with all of the boys at once. the picture is of you, taken from a side angle. you look to your right and scan the audience for a familiar face, spotting ron waving manically.

you laugh and wave back, seeing everyone else sitting next to him. you wave and pose for the photos and videos that they take of you from the audience. you open the groupchat up to message.

no stream? - y/n

probably later, didn’t want to ruin the actual ceremony with stream snipers - lacy

appreciate it - y/n

with that, you close your phone as the dean starts his speech.

-

you take another deep breath as your name gets closer and closer to being called as you stand in the line. you spotted your family as you were walking to the stage and it filled you with happiness. now is just left to walk without any trips or mishaps to haunt you forever.

finally the girl standing before you gets her name called and your fan your face as you move forward into her previous spot.

you barely hear the first syllable of your name before the side which houses your family and team erupts in cheers causing you to smile brightly as you walk across the stage. you pose for the picture with your dean and diploma and end your moment with a kiss to the main camera.

as you walk back to your seat, your family and the boys are still cheering excitedly recording you as you walk. you hold up and point to your diploma excitedly, laughing as their reactions get even more expressive. you finally make your way to your seat, fanning yourself to get a little more air after the exciting moment.

-

you finish taking pictures outside of the arena with your family who says they will meet you at home. you hear your name being called as you walk across the parking lot to your car.

“y/n!” you turn and your eyes meet silky’s as the group makes their way over to you. you stop in your tracks smiling and waving as they close the distance between you and them.

“hey guys i didn’t know you stayed afterwards,” you say as you open your arms to greet the group in hugs.

“yeah we wanted to give you your gifts and say hello before you went off with your family for the day,” marlon explains as he holds out about four large bouquets of flowers for you to grab on to.

“oh my gosh thanks so much,” you reply grabbing onto the flowers. you see gilbert taking some off guards in the corner of your eye.

“did you guys want to take some pictures?”

the guys agree and they move to stand around and squat in front of you for the pictures that gilbert takes on his phone and camera. feeling content, you smile happily for each that he takes. the boys also each get an individual photo with you, with jason going as far as to asking you to make a tiktok with him, which you agree to with a laugh.

your photo time ends and you thank them all again. “i really appreciate all of you seriously. i’m glad you could make it,”

adapt waves you off, “of course. you do so much for us day to day with no complaints, it was a no brainer to come support your accomplishments.”

“here’s another gift, we weren’t sure what to get you so hopefully you like it,” lacy holds out a bag for you and ron grabs the flowers from your hold so that you are able to look in the bag.

“open the card last,” adapt chimes in.

you reach through the bag pulling out a cute stuffed animal which has your school’s logo on it, a couple gift cards to your favorite restaurants and a little gucci fragrance.

“aww you guys shouldn’t have,” you say with a slight pout feeling grateful for their gifts.

“don’t forget the card,” marlon says. you take out the mentioned card and open the envelope. the front has a simple graduation message on it which you read quickly and then move onto the inside. the right of the card has some signatures and messages from each of the guys but your attention is taking by the folded note in the middle of the card. you open it and read:

all expenses paid trip to destination of your choice (plus one included) funded by the core boys! redeem at any time

your jaw drops as the words register and the boys laugh at your reaction.

“what! guys this is too much! seriously the gift cards were enough,” you say trying to hand the note to someone.

“no way, you deserve it. school can be very hard and tiring and the fact that you juggled that and being with us is admirable so we wanted to repay that back. any time you need a vacation just let us know,” adapt reassures.

you reach out to hug him and the rest of the boys afterwards. you probably repeat thank you about fifty times before they playfully tell you to shut up. you place all of the gifts back in the bag and the boys offer to walk you back to your car to help carry everything.

you finally make it to your car thanking them one last time before you go your separate ways for the day.

as you open your car door to get in silky shouts one more thing,

“make sure you party hard for us today you heard!”

you just laugh and send a thumbs up his way. you sit in your car and take a deep breath to recollect yourself. smiling at the flowers in your backseat you think to yourself,

‘couldn’t have had a better day’
