you and hamzah would be a bit apprehensive about having you online in connection to him due to fears of how you would be treated
but the reception from mandy being on the channel eased his worries some.
though your relationship was relatively new, only actually knowing each other for five months and only dating for three, you were in agreement that you wouldn’t be in any content.
however hamzah really struggled to pretend that he wasn’t seeing someone, he liked you too much. he especially struggled when martin would have such open conversations about mandy
so he started giving little hints
“i’m going to come here with my girlfriend one day”
“if my girlfriend ever did that, oh boy”
“i be in my girls ear like -“

you’d been in a few of mandy’s insta pics and stories, even posting some of your own. people just assumed that you were close friends with mandy (which you were, it’s how you met hamzah in the first place). but then hamzah would sometimes publicly comment inside jokes on them.
he’d then tell mandy to just start saying your name whenever she was telling stories that you were involved in.
“omg, i was out with y/n for a girls night and tell me why men are so embarrassing. there was this guy who got way too drunk for a wednesday night, stumbling all over the bar and threw up all over the entrance. I actually feel ill just thinking about it again, y/n had to douse me in perfume so i couldn’t smell anything.”
“sounds like a good friend.” hamzah tried to hide his smile, playing with his hoodie zip.
mandy gave him a sly smirk before looking at the camera, “she is.”
then he started bringing you up himself
“we were supposed to all go see fnaf last night but martin and mandy bailed so it was just me and y/n and i have to say it was pretty good.”
“yeah sorry about that, fish and carl were going crazy,” martin shrugged, “what did y/n think?”
“well, she’s been watching a bunch of josh hutcherson edits so i think she only went cause she has a crush on him cause she’s not a huge fan of scary stuff.”
“a woman with taste, huh.” martin said seriously, before he starting singing whistle by flo rida.
“nah, i don’t get the hype bro.” hamzah shook his head, disappointed.
martin looked into the camera, quizzically, “i’m sensing a bit of jealousy”
hamzah just rolled his eyes, opting to change the conversation.

by this point people are pretty sure something is going on between you guys and are begging for you to be in a video.
once again mandy comes through, featuring you in some of her vlogs where the ipods see the first interactions with you and hamzah
your a bit shy, not really used to being on camera so it’s mostly just glimpses of you walking in the back while mandy talks to her followers.
now you guys are feeling a lot more settled in the relationship so your happy to be involved a bit more.
the biggest answer to the rumours was in mandy’s vlog when hamzah is driving to go look at cats and your in the passenger seat next to him instead of martin like usual. then you two in the back of clips playing with the cats together.
another moment when hamzah is finally getting blue and red, mandy and martin come to give hamzah some stuff for the cats and your sitting on the bed beside them watching mandy give him all the accessories and him subsequently passing everything to you to see.
and when the cats finally arrive at their new home, hamzah introduces you as their mother, with mandy, martin and chase being aunt and uncles.
your literally so enamoured with them, they’re so cute and chill and there are so many comments saying how sweet your interactions are with them.
i think even though you barely even spoke in the vlogs at the beginning, hamzah would have gotten reassured that people weren’t going to attack you online.
which led to him making it official; by getting you on for a patreon podcast episode.
you’d probably only agree to it because you thought that way less people would see as you’d still be slightly camera shy.
not knowing that people post clips on tiktok lol.
it would just be the two of you (red and blue popping in every now and then) sitting on his unmade bed, leaning against the wall, talking about random stuff. hamzah would have to tell you multiple times to talk into the mic because you keep forgetting.
“sorry about her, she’s a podcast guest virgin, we’re working on it, right?”
“uh huh.” you nod, with a shy smile.
and obviously hamzah would be teasing you constantly.
“y/n has been obsessed with me since 4freakshow -“
“lies!”
“you literally said you watched it”
“i said i remembered it, i had no idea that was you.”
“you literally saved the promiscuous girl vid.”
“again, wrong.”
“but you liked it?”
“…”
“see!!”
from then on you’d be talked about freely amongst the gang in videos, and grew to be a lot more talkative, going on the podcast a couple times.
hamzah is just so happy he doesn’t have to hide you anymore :)
