That following includes Satoru. Satoru, honestly, has become kind of parasocial about Suguru, convincing himself that Suguru sees all the comments and chats he leaves on his videos (on a burner of course). He convinces himself that he knows Suguru more than all of his fans do, he’s obsessed.

His favorites are the ones where Suguru just talks. The ASMR, the product reviews, the theory discussions. Whenever Suguru’s whole focus is on talking to the viewer, Satoru is absolutely elated. It gets to a point where he can’t fall asleep without listening to Suguru’s videos.

It comes to a head when Suguru posts a new ASMR video, Satoru’s favorite kind, while Satoru is six hours into a gaming stream for a game that he managed to somehow steam from his ancient gameboy style console onto his computer to stream properly. When Satoru gets the notification, he freezes a little, unsure what to do before rapidly pausing and insisting to his fans that he will return and finish the game he swears it, tomorrow they’ll see him again instead of next week.

Satoru just barely shuts all his equipment down before running to put his headphones and sleeping mask on, jumping into bed and turning the video on, desperate for Suguru’s voice to be the only sensation he has for the next thirty minutes.

Satoru’s fans go insane. Never in Satoru’s years of streaming has he ever cut a game short. All of his fans are searching for the reason behind the shorter stream, and Satoru profusely apologizes when he starts streaming again a few hours later, insisting something came up.

Everybody is still extremely suspicious, considering during Satoru’s freshman year of college, he streamed through a fire alarm and got in trouble with his RA for not vacating the building, the entire thing occurring with the stream running in the background before Satoru came back with a huge grin on his face, finding the whole thing hilarious.

Eventually, it dies down a little. There’s a small group of fans that speculate that Satoru logged off the stream to watch Suguru’s freshly dropped ASMR video, but fans are suspicious of that because Satoru has never ever expressed any interest in anything other than his video games, mathematics, and metaphysics. Why would he watch Suguru? Maybe a gaming video, but ASMR? And even then, Suguru’s gaming videos tended to be cozy games or slop games for comedic reasons. Satoru’s gaming preferences were clearly souls and rouge likes.

Then, it happens again. This time, Satoru isn’t even two hours into the playthrough, barely even put a dent in the game when a new ASMR video drops. Satoru is far too busy squinting at a Wikipedia page for the game, muttering to the chat about there being a secret pathway and secret boss available if you input a certain sequence of moves. Then, a few chat members mention that YouTuber SuguG3T0 dropped a new video.

Satoru is then seen scrambling for his phone to check the notification, and then rapidly ending stream.

The small group convinced that Satoru watches Suguru quickly expands.

It even gets to a point where Suguru is made aware of it. Suguru wasn’t completely unaware of the well known streamer who went by LimitlessGaming, but never would’ve guessed that this guy would watch his videos. Suguru gets ahold of all the evidence the fans have put together, and then takes note of Satoru’s pathetic excuse for a burner, which is was just a play off his usual handle.

Because Suguru is a little evil and thinks it would be funny, Suguru starts interacting with Satoru more. Following his socials, tuning into his streams and leaving compliments in the chat before leaving (because nobody with a life has time to watch a man play games for ten hours a day).

Satoru looses it. He’s geeking out on the regular, and his fans watch him sputter and die during gameplays because the comments are just so distracting for him.

Somehow, Suguru actually starts feeling interested. The way that Satoru seems so obsessed with Suguru just draws him in, and the compliments become more genuine. It starts shifting into DMs, compliments becoming more intimate and personal than teasing.

One day, Suguru posts a video with Satoru. It’s a vlog of him picking up Satoru from an airport and taking him around his city, taking him to the local mall and getting froyo and a lot of things that could absolutely be considered date-like. Both fan bases are loosing it; Satoru’s fanbase starts up by saying “oh my god Satoru actually goes outside?”

Little do the fans know, Satoru and Suguru have been dating for months, and finally have moved in together. Satoru’s set up changes, but most of his fans aren’t the type to notice that.

Suguru starts posting more gaming videos, old classics with Satoru, with Satoru being patient for a significant amount of time, which shocks the fans; Satoru is far from a patient person.

Speculations start up, fans on both ends insisting that they’re together or at the very least, they like each other. Jokes start up, thinks like Suguru being underneath the desk (Satoru suggests that they should do it, Suguru reminds Satoru that if he gave Satoru head during a stream, Satoru wouldn’t be able to function properly regardless and they would likely get reported).

They never outwardly say that they’re dating, but one time during a stream of Satoru’s, Suguru slips into the streaming room with a plate of something for Satoru to snack on, leaving a gentle kiss on his forehead before insisting he needs to finish the game soon so they can get ready.

Satoru ends the stream mid-game for the third time in his years long career, insisting he’ll be back to finish it.
