Personally i prefer the circle designs way more but i’m just putting everything i have so far

In the room Madeline is completely dolled up, spinning so her followers can see the beautiful dress she’s in from all the right angles. Helen can't see the chat but she knows they're loving it, they always do. While Helen doesn't participate in her live streams most times she does watch them. Even though they’re in the same house, she will still watch from wherever she is, knowing Madeline is going to tell her all about it later anyways. It didn’t matter, she’ll never get tired of watching her. Madeline always looks like she's having the time of her life when she does these. Talking to her fans and doing whatever random activity they've picked for the stream. 

“And I wore this one to the sequel of ‘Widows Revenge’.” Madeline beams at where her phone is propped up. “Oh, you all know that, don’t you?” She winks at the camera as Helen leans in the doorway. Just like Madeline’s fans, she remembers that movie too. It was one of the first serious drama roles Madeline ever got. It's cute to her how Madeline saves all her outfits from previous award shows. Madeline could remember each and every one, exactly where she wore it and how much it cost. Hence why she liked to share the memories with her fans. It's honestly impressive to Helen that she has them all cataloged in her head like that.

She tilts her head a little, watching the teal dress billow out around Madeline as she gives her audience a twirl. The spin shows Helen a peak at shapely smooth legs and she feels a smile creep up on her lips when Madeline meets her gaze. She lets out a little surprised gasp at the sight of Helen watching from the doorway. 

“Helen!” She grins excitedly. 

“Don't mind me, I didn't mean to disrupt.” Helen tries to wave her off. 

“Oh please, you're not. Come here!” Madeline nearly skips over, she's in such a good mood it's contagious. Her soft hands grab onto Helen's, pulling her further into her dressing room. “Everyone say, hello!” Madeline turns the camera so they’re both in frame. As soon as they can see Helen too, the chat starts going crazy. 

dogstranoutstan: She's here! Hi!!

pixelprincess: *louder than everyone else*  Helen!!!!! Heyyy!!

MadelinesAsh: My love has returned

Littleshopofwhores: Is that Helen Sharp!? am I hallucinating??

Sub_roofer: tits 

beezkeeper: @MadelinesAsh who the hell is helen sharp?? 

BrodwyBoy420: ….does she live there…. 

Heyyax2: Kiss kiss kiss! 

Helen gives a mildly awkward wave to the screen, reading a few chat messages as they fly past. “Uh, Hi?” She says, trying not to be nervous at the view count. Madeline sure pulls in a lot of viewers. 

“Don't be so shy, it's Fashion Friday! You want to try on more dresses with me?” Her hands still hold onto Helen’s as she practically bounces up and down while she waits for an answer. God it's hard to say no to Madeline whenever she looks at her with those big blue eyes but Helen did not plan on being on camera today. “Please, Hel.” She begs and Helen can see equal begging responses coming from the chat. 

She knew Madeline would accept her no. Boundaries is something they have been working on the last year but as she looks at her and how damn excited she is, Helen feels herself nodding.

“One dress.” She relents, loving how Madeline beams at her with an excited noise. Even the chat is celebrating.

“Yay!” Madeline claps her hands and runs off into her endless closet to find something to put her in. Somehow trying on one dress turns into two, and two to three. Madeline has her show off the dresses to the audience while explaining where it came from, who made it and where she wore it. 

Helen has to admit it's a little fun to play dress up and the responses from the chat are pretty funny most of the time. The compliments she's getting vary from normal to phrases she can't even understand. Why do so many people want her to step on them? These people are ravenous for Madeline and her. It gives her ego a little boost to have this many people enjoy looking at her in these outfits. She ends up staying longer than intended, having fun just chatting. It's nearing ten by the time she's had enough fun and is ready to wind down for the night. 

“No no no more dresses. I said this was the last one.” She says when Madeline tries to go look for a fourth dress for her to try. The pouting look she gets in return is cute because she knows Madeline isn’t actually bothered, even as she sighs over dramatically and turns back to the camera. 

“Alright everyone, the fashion show is over. I guess it's bedtime.” Madeline mocks with a soft smile in Helen's direction who flips her off with a smirk. “As always, thank you all for joining me tonight. Everyone say thank you to Helen for being a good sport.” She bumps Helen's shoulder, the two of them see a flurry of ‘thank yous’ and ‘goodbyes’ pop up in chat before Madeline leans forward to blow a kiss to the camera and click the stream off. She lets out a breath, rolling her neck side to side. Madeline never thought doing silly little live streams would zap so much of her energy. Helen was right, it really is bed time. She can't wait to have a nice shower and cuddle in bed. 

When she looks back at Helen she sees her looking at herself in the mirror with a little smile. The lavender dress really does look amazing on her, it hugs her curves in all the right places and Madeline can't tear her eyes away as she comes closer. 

“You had fun right?” She asks gently, coming up behind her to wrap her arms around Helen's middle. It truly is rare that Helen agrees to be on camera for that long, she knows how anxious it makes her.

“Yeah I did, Mad.” Helen rests her hand on Madeline's forearm, giving it a light squeeze. 

“I'm glad.” She squeezes her tighter in return. 

“But your personal Barbie is tired and wants to get out of this dress.” Helen says, twisting slightly because the dress is absurdly restricting. 

“Aw don't you want to keep it on a little longer.  You look so good. Maybe I want to keep playing with you?” She purrs in Helen's ear, feeling the shiver run through her. 

Slowly Helen turns in her arms so they are face to face, looking into Madeline's gorgeous eyes. 

The flirtatious tone and the look in those eyes makes any idea of sleeping go right out of Helen’s brain. Hands smooth up her sides, up her body until she feels Madeline tilting her head back and lips press against her sensitive skin on her neck.

“Madeline…we'll never get to bed…if we–” Helen can't seem to find the words anymore. Having the Madeline Ashton want her so badly turns her brain into mush most days. “If…if we start this.” She manages to finish as lips press against her neck. Helen feels herself melting into Madeline’s arms as her back is pressed against the mirror. Warm breath huffs against her heated skin with a soft laugh when she grabs a handful of Madeline’s ass. 

“Do you want me to stop?” Breathes against Helen's neck as Madeline pulls back to look into her eyes. 

“Please don't.” They could sleep later. Helen feels a hand slip lower down her waist, Madeline's other hand cupping her jaw as she leans in for a kiss. Helen lets out a soft moan, eyes nearly blinking shut in bliss until she freezes suddenly…why is the chat on Madeline's phone still moving? 

Oh no. Oh no. 

Helen tears her lips away from Madeline's, who looks at her with a confused and flustered expression. 

“Wha-” Madeline doesn't even get the words out. 

“You didn't turn it off.” Helen says, high pitched and horrified while pointing frantically to the screen. Madeline turns with wide eyes, barely able to read the messages that fly past because there's so many coming in.

Llamalena: They don't know they don't know they don't know 

mxlfhunter36: Oh. My. God. Gay?? 

ChiqitaDave: are they fucking

MadelinesAsh: Holyfuckingshit this is happening

JurassicBart: Chewing on my kyeboard rn

Kirrimanstoy: Someone tell them!? 

DBSR4E: and they were roommates!!!¡¡!!! 

MadelinesAsh: oh my god they were roommates

Thku4bnafriend: I'm going to pass out. i die today I guess 

“Oh shit.” Madeline curses before nervously plastering back on a smile. “Whoopsie, you all were not supposed to see that. See you next week.” Frantically, she clicks off the stream correctly this time, looking over to a mortified Helen.

“Madeline…they saw us. They saw us about to…” A hand goes into her hair, the embarrassment is nearly overwhelming.

“It's okay, it's okay.” She tries but it doesn't look like it helps. If it was just Madeline and a random stranger this happened to, she would really care. People have seen her do much worse online before. It wasn't a random person though, it's Helen who looks like she's panicking. “They only saw a kiss…and the ass grab but it's fine! Things like this blow over so fast.” 

It does not blow over fast. 

Madeline knew that it was a lie when she said it but she was trying to help in the moment, alright? As soon as either of them open any social media they are bombarded with tags, clips of the moment, memes, (and some hate which is unfortunate but not frequent at least) it's all ridiculous really. Helen didn't get this much action online when her novel came out and still that had been overwhelming. This makes her want to put her phone in the freezer and never open it again. 

“This is why I didn't want to tell anyone about us yet.” She comes out the sliding door, to where Madeline is sitting outside in the garden under a big umbrella. With a sigh, Helen sits down next to her, sliding a glass across the table that Madeline accepts with an uncharacteristic soft thank you. She doesn't look up from the drink while she spins the pink straw, the ice clinks against the glass and Helen sees how lost in thought she is. 

“You alright?” Helen asks and Madeline blinks a few times, finally looking up at her. 

“I-....” She doesn’t want to lie but the question shouldn't need to be asked. She knows the answer. She does. But a very loud insecure part of herself can’t help but ask, “Are you embarrassed to be with me?”  

“What?” Helen looks completely baffled at the question. 

“You just hate it so much that people know. I just thought that…” 

“Mad no, that's not it.” She scoots closer, putting her hand on top of Madeline’s. “I love you and I love being with you. I guess I just wasn’t ready to share this with…everyone yet. My phone hasn’t stopped blowing up in 72 hours with people making speculations about our relationship and its a little overwhelming. That’s all, it's not you.” 

Madeline leans into her side, resting her head on Helen’s shoulder. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean to keep recording, I swear.”

“I know, it's okay.” She kisses the top of Madeline's head. “I just need to get used to this I guess.” 

“Do you not want to do anymore videos with me?” Her fingers toy with the fabric of Helen’s shirt as they squish closer next to each other on the outdoor couch.

“Maybe once your fans settle down about this.” 

“I'll take that.” Madeline shrugs, resting back against Helen's side as an arm comes up around her shoulder. The two of them look out at their lovely garden, admiring all the blooming flowers. 

“It was a little hot to see us like that though, wasn't it?” Helen admits after a beat of silence. She’d never recorded herself with a partner before but after seeing that, she kind of wants to change that. 

“Oh my god I never thought you'd say something.” Madeline lets out a breath of relief, the two of the chuckling because she too is very interested to do that (again, it wouldn't be her first sex tape). 

Even though three weeks pass, Madeline's fans do not settle down and the chat is just as ridiculous the next time Helen joins her on a stream. It's just a Q&A, Madeline had said before they started and yet the first question that comes in is…..

“Top or bottom??” Helen reads out the words aloud before her brain can stop her and Madeline nearly falls over cackling next to her. 

“Well, answer the question. You picked it.” She waves eagerly at Helen, eyes sparkling. 

“I didn't mean to and I will not. That's none of their business.” She points an accusatory finger at the chat who tries to defend themselves like they aren't perverts. 

“It's okay we all know the answer anyways.”  Madeline says, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

“You sure about that?” That came out without even thinking about it. This is why she hates being live. She didn’t need to give these people any more reason to act insane. The single sentence has the chat going even more feral and makes Helen wish she never opened her stupid mouth. Because since that live steam she's seen multiple accounts with names like:

‘Helensharptopme’ or ‘Hellschewtoy’
