warnings: fluff, shy!reader, protective adapt, light teasing
the stream had been running for a couple hours â just alex talking, scrolling through clips, answering random chat questions. it was one of those calm nights, nothing crazy, no games, just him and his setup glowing in the dim light.
youâd been sitting off to the side the whole time, on your phone, half-listening to him talk. chat had already figured out you were there â they always did.
âwe hear herâ
ây/n lurking again??â
âcan we say hi agaâ
alex glanced at the messages, exhaling through his nose. âyou guys need to chill,â he said, smiling a little. âsheâs not on camera. relax.â
you looked up. âthey know iâm here?â
âthey always know,â he said, spinning in his chair to face you. âyou could breathe too loud and theyâd clip it.â
you laughed quietly. âgreat.â
he leaned back, head tilting slightly. âyou could just come sit here. make it easier.â
âalex, i donât know what to do on stream.â
âyou donât have to do anything,â he said, voice soft but sure. âjust sit here. iâll handle it.â
you hesitated, then sighed and moved over, sliding onto the edge of his chair. his hand found the back of your knee under the desk â just a small touch, grounding.
chat caught on immediately.
âhiii y/n :)â
âbro sheâs so quiet LMAOâ
âagahi y/nâ
alex read a few messages, smirking. âsheâs nervous. donât make it worse.â
you laughed quietly, trying not to look at the chat feed flying by. âthis is so weird.â
ânah,â he said, voice low. âyouâre fine. just talk if you want to. or donât.â
so you didnât â at least not for a bit. he kept the conversation going, joking around, reacting to stuff, occasionally asking your opinion just to make you smile.
âwhat do you think about that?â he asked after one clip.
âuhh,â you said, realizing too late that chat was listening, âitâs⌠dumb.â
he laughed. âsee? professional commentary right there.â
âsheâs funnier than him frâ
ânah keep her on stream PLEASEâ
you shook your head, trying to hide your smile. âtheyâre gonna make fun of me.â
âthey already make fun of me,â he said, shrugging. âyouâll fit right in.â
after a while, it stopped feeling weird. the room felt quieter, even with the chat going off. heâd glance at you between sentences, his hand brushing yours now and then when he leaned over the desk.
eventually, you whispered, âi think iâm done.â
he nodded, muting his mic. âyou did good.â
you smiled, soft and tired. âi literally said like two words.â
âyeah,â he said, grinning, âand they loved you for it.â
you rolled your eyes, standing up. âyouâre such a liar.â
ânah,â he said, turning back to the monitor, âiâm serious. theyâre already asking when youâre coming back.â
you gave him a small look, half amused, half embarrassed. âweâll see.â
he reached over, squeezing your hand once before unmuting again. âalright, chat, sheâs leaving. say bye before yâall scare her off forever.â
âBYEEE Y/Nâ
âSHE SURVIVED HER FIRST STREAMâ
alex smiled at the screen, shaking his head. âyou guys are ridiculous.â
when you left the frame, you could still hear him laughing quietly â that small, proud sound he always made when he thought you werenât listening.
