Genre: Fluff, Confession, Friends to Lovers
Warnings: Talk of Anxiety
You tried to hide your smile as Wilbur sent another dumb message. This was common these days, as you both spent hours messaging and calling each other.
Due to both of your careers being Streamers or as Tommy likes to call it “Influencers”, your time was always wasted and texting Wilbur filled that time.
In the beginning, the texting was very rare. A “Are you Streaming?” Or a “Good Stream” was often sent, but never anything else. That changed when you joined his Love or Host.
It was supposed to be a joke. You didn’t know him well, but anyone could look at him and find him pleasing to the eye. You were surprised when you had gotten to the top three.
That day you were so nervous, palms sweating as you kept on going each round. You were surprised to not be kicked out so soon. But, you knew that you would’ve win. We all knew that Niki would for clout purposes, and you didn’t mind really.
That’s when it took a turn for the better, hun picking you to win, and as you picked Love, you both enjoyed a wonderful Minecraft picnic.
That’s when you started talking to him more and started to see that he was intriguing. He didn’t like love, calling it “fake” and a “waste of time” but a small part of you wanted to prove him wrong. You noticed that he sometimes disappeared for a few days, his anxiety worsening. After a heartfelt conversation, you vowed to never leave his side for anything or anyone.
That’s when the small crush started. You pushed it down, calling it a cliche best friends to lovers movie. You couldn’t help the crush, and it started growing bigger.
He didn’t believe in love.
You tried to push it away as farthest as you could, but it kept coming back.
That is what lead you to today. You were texting him like normal, but there was a difference.
You were at his apartment door.
Clasping your hands together, you knocked on his door.
“Coming!” You heard him yell out.
You froze in shock as you heard his voice. You were really doing this.
As the door opened wide, you noticed the shock on his face as he saw you, but your face a full of anxiety.
“[Name]! What are you doing here? Are you okay?” He whispered the last part.
“Look. I know that you hate love in every way possible, but I’m in love with you. I know this sounds like a cliche love confession but I couldn’t say this through text. Give me 14 days to show you what love really is. That’s all I have here, My attention is on you, because I love you. Please.” You rattled out, avoiding his gaze by looking down.
After a few moments of silence you rose your head up slowly to see a shocked Wilbur again.
You both couldn’t seem to find the words, staring into each other’s eyes.
All he could muster was a “okay.” letting you into his apartment.
