request: by anonymous / âcan you do something where adapt and reader meet at streamer u and theyâre both really flirty with eachother the whole time and itâs just lots of tensionâ
â â シ â â â シ â â â シ â â â シ
you knew the hype around streamer university. you were grateful to experience this college-like setting, even with cameras following everyoneâs every move.
the first day was definitely a little overwhelming, so many extroverts in one place at the same time. nothing you couldnât handle, just something to adapt to over the next five days.
which, speaking of adapt, you were already late to his class.
you thought grabbing a quick iced coffee from the cafeteria would be no biggie. unfortunately, everyone else thought the same.
after meeting and greeting way too many people, your quick drink run turned into an unexpected meet and greet, making you ten minutes late.
figuring you were already behind, you got adapt a coffee, too. maybe it would help him let your tardiness slide.
âchat, do you think heâll think iâm bribing him, or more like a âsorry i was lateâ coffee?â you ask your camera, glancing down at your phone to read the scrolling chat.
âheâs nice, heâll let it slideâ your camerawoman, gianna, says as the two of you walk toward his classroom.
âreally? iâve heard heâs nice, but iâve never met him. which is crazy because growing up, my friends would always watch him play video gamesâ you say, checking the schedule picture on your phone. âwait, is this it? i think it isâ
âthis is bringing me school flashbacks in the worse way possibleâ you say as knock on the door, your nerves spiking as the muffled sound of laughter and talking filters through.
the door opens to reveal the professor himself.
âhello, iâm sorry iâm lateâ you say immediately.
âno worries, iâm adapt. nice to meet youâ he says, offering a quick side hug.
you introduce yourself and gianna. as you step inside, the packed room erupts into a few teasing âouuâs from your friends. you shake your head with a smile, glancing down at your chat.
girl was so worried abt entering class she forgot abt the coffee
âoh my gosh, wait,â you say, making adapt turn around. âhere, i brought you thisâ
a voice screams from the back row. unfortunately, you know exactly who it belongs to. lacy is sitting in his wheelchair near the back, wearing a sly smirk. you glare at him, which only makes him laugh harder.
âoh, wow. thank you, thatâs so niceâ adapt says, taking the cup.
âyes, of courseâ you reply, your face feeling noticeably warmer.
you scan the room for an empty seat, but there are none left. âthereâs no more seatsâ you whisper to gianna.
âoh, i know there arenât any chairs left,â adapt says, pulling out his own desk chair. âhereâ
âoh, thank youâ you say, pulling it to the back and parking it next to lacy.
as you sit down, lacy waits for you to look at him. you try your hardest to ignore his eyes, but fail and laugh quietly. âwhat do you want, lacy?â you whisper since adapt has already resumed the lecture.
lacy has collabed with you a time or two, alongside other core members like silky, who sits nearby and casually dabs you up.
ânothing, nothingâ lacy whispers, pretending to wipe his nose while holding back laughter.
âwhateverâ you roll your eyes, glancing back down at your phone.
you have to stay after class for that extra credih
i would be a teacherâs pet for him so bad
you cover your mouth and look up at the camera. âyou guys are actually insaneâ
âwhat is your chat saying?â lacy asks from beside you.
you turn your phone so he can see the screen. he reads it, then repeats, âextra credihâ but unfortunately says it just a bit too loud.
âwhatâs going on back there?â adapt asks, half-jokingly.
you shake your head, ânothingâ but lacy chimes in right over you, âshe said she needs to stay after class for extra helpâ
you cover your face as the class erupts into teasing laughs.
sheâs highkey hella blushing
adapt just smiles. âyes, iâm here after class if you need help with anythingâ
the rest of the lecture rolls by smoothly with a few more jokes, and adapt turns out to be a genuinely great teacher.
finally, class wraps up and everyone starts packing their things. you hear your name called from the front, itâs adapt, sitting at his desk. you tell gianna to wait outside, knowing your chat is already losing its mind.
she rlly wants that extra credih
you roll the borrowed chair back up to the desk. âthanks for the chairâ
âthanks for the coffeeâ he replies, smiling.
with the classroom now empty, itâs just the two of you. âso, iâm really glad i got to meet you todayâ he says softly.
âah, me too. i canât believe we never crossed paths over at the core house beforeâ
âoh yeah, sometimes i get busy, but here we are nowâ he says, holding your gaze just long enough to make your heart skip a beat. âthough i'm thinking we should make up for lost time. maybe iâll see you around later?â
your breath catches for a second, your face heating up all over again. âoh, yeahâ you say, offering a shy smile.
âcoolâ he says, leaning back slightly against his desk.
âsee you around, professor adaptâ you say, turning the chair around and heading toward the door.
you push it open and step out into the hallway, immediately spotting gianna waiting against the wall with her phone out, a knowing grin already plastered across her face.
as your chat explodes with the absolute loudest messages youâve ever seen, you let out a long breath, shaking your head as you walk over to her.
i understand tho, sheâs a baddie
the next day, there definitely was a clip or two of your interaction with adapt.
you didnât really pay too much attention to it, being used to getting shipped if you shared air with anyone.
during adaptâs class, your chat was exploding with the same thing from the day prior even though not much happened.
âyou need help over there?â he asks, pointing directly at you and your confused expression.
you were surprised he even noticed you were confused since you didnât say a word about being confused at all.
lowk i would stay after class again
why is he deadass a good prof?
heâs so different w her
by day three, it had died down a bit. your chat was mostly telling you to collab with some of the other streamers like yonna.
yonna was a sweet girl who had captured the hearts of many through her amazing and funny personality.
eventually, hanging out with her led you to meet up with plaqueboymax, marlon, and lacy as you helped them push lacy in his wheelchair. you guys were simply exploring the grounds of streamer u.
you were messing around with the guys and your camerawoman until you hear lacy scream, âdaddy, daddy!â
you look up to find the culprit, and itâs no other than adapt.
he was dressed in all black, and you couldnât help but let your eyes wander, taking a subtle second to check him out.
he dabs the guys up and makes his way over to you, pulling you in for an easy side hug. your chat immediately screams whatâs practically echoing in your own mind.
âme and y/n got something for you,â lacy says, earning a puzzled look from you since you definitely donât recall getting him a single thing.
lacy reaches into his pocket and pulls out a tiny hot dog keychain. âlook, itâs a hot dogâ
âoh my god, letâs fucking goâ adapt says, dabbing him up again before nodding his head toward you.
god, he looked too good with those glasses on.
âwe got you a hot dog, that means you have to give her your hot dog nowâ lacy announces, and you seriously wished the earth would open up a massive hole and swallow you whole.
not only was the innuendo atrocious, but howling laughter erupted from practically all of your friends. you simply muttered, âoh my goshâ grabbed the handles of lacyâs wheelchair to push him far away.
the sponsors are not liking this one
L lacy for doing my girl dirty like that
âwait, donât go!â lacy protests as everyone starts to walk the same way you were, though they conveniently lag a little behind.
adapt breaks into a light jog to easily catch up to your pace.
âyou good?â he asks, a hint of genuine amusement and concern in his voice.
you cover your burning face with a hand, feeling the heat creep straight up to your ears. âyes, itâs just lacy trying desperately to be the clipâ you say with a flustered, soft laugh.
he chuckles softly, the deep sound doing entirely too many things to your nervous system. without you even noticing, your friends have completely stopped following you, staying back by the staircase.
adapt slows his stride to match yours, glancing sideways at you with a slow, knowing smirk playing on his lips. âbut honestly, if you wanted my attention, you didn't have to resort to pocket sized hotdogâ
your eyes widening slightly at the direct hit. âi didn't buy you the hot dogâ you defend quickly, though your voice betrays you, laced with a nervous smile.
âmhm, sureâ he teases, stepping just a little closer so his shoulder brushes lightly against yours. âthough if we're handing out trades? what's a guy gotta do to get your attention next time?â
you try to come up with a witty comeback, but your brain completely shuts down. your chat is undoubtedly losing their minds right now since gianna is probably just zooming into yours and adaptâs convo and letting lacy take over your stream.
âwow, okay. real confident, arenât you?â you manage to say, shaking your head while trying to keep your composure, though you most certainly arenât.
adapt laughs, a sound that makes your stomach do a stupid little flip. you two come to a complete halt, trapping you in your own little corner away from the group.
âonly for youâ he says smoothly, dropping his voice lower so it feels entirely meant for you.
you cant even focus on the way heâs looking at you, let alone maintain his eye contact. so instead, you focus entirely on the way the afternoon sun hits the frames around the building.
âyouâre terribleâ you mutter, thereâs no real bite behind it. your soft smile slipping onto your face.
âmore like, persuasiveâ adapt counters effortlessly, slipping his hands into the pockets of his black pants.
he glances back at the staircase where plaqueboymax, marlon, and lacy and the camera crowd are huddled together, making exaggerated whispering gestures and terrible kissing faces at the two of you.
yea, thatâs definitely getting clipped.
âwell,â adapt says, turning to face you fully, blocking your view from your friends, just enough to keep you looking right where he wants you.
his gaze is intense, locking onto yours with a playful challenge lingering in his eyes. âclass starts early tomorrow. think you can survive another round of my class or are you gonna need another coffee bribe to save you?â
you cross your arms over your chest, biting your lower lip as you look up at him. âyouâll see, professorâ
âcanât waitâ he murmurs with a slow, wicked grin, before finally stepping around you to rejoin the group, leaving you standing there with your heart hammering in your chest.
the internet was going crazy with yesterdayâs interaction of you and adapt.
clip after clip, edit after edit.
at first, you couldnât believe he could actually be into you. just because you didnât know each other so well, but now, thereâs a possibility that he might most definitely be into you.
day four went by quick, everyone trying to make the most out of the day. meeting everyone they hadnât, challenges, videos, clipfarming.
unfortunately, everyone was busy. and by everyone you mean adapt, you had hardly seen him after his class. not like you had anything specific you wanted to say, but it was nice the way he was making you feel.
by the last day, everyone was packing and recording their last moments.
you had skipped your classes, very carefully not to be caught.
you went to the cafeteria after all classes were done, and it was pretty packed.
you met so many new people and definitely some potential new collabs.
as you made your way through the crowd, kai cenatâs voice was heard calling your name.
you were slightly scared, thinking you got caught ditching, but he simply asked you about your experience at streamer u.
âit was so much fun! thank you so much for having us, this was definitely a ten out of ten experience. canât wait to see whatâs for next yearâ you say as he places his arm around you and you speak into both your and his camera.
âof course, thank you for coming and putting your best foot forwardâ he says, and he smiles, ânow what would you think if we brought some celebrities to next yearâs university?â
âoh my gosh, that would be crazy, for sure. like who though?â you ask.
âsome friends, you know,â he says. âyou are definitely invited tooâ he adds, and you can practically hear his teasing voice as he says, âif youâre going to be there, i gotta bring adapt back too, huh?â
you try to ignore his comments by smiling, but you fail and laugh a little, âno, yea, back to the celebrities though, by bringing your friends, you mean like tyla?â you tease him back, emphasizing on friends.
âalright, well it was nice having you, okay? have funâ he says as he leaves immediately, smiling and understanding the joke too.
as he walks away he says, âalso you gotta stop by the police department, you were caught at the partyâ
you turn to your camera and put a peace sign up, âfries, broâ
after some mingling is done, gianna stays back with the camera as she talks to some of the other camera crew.
you felt suffocated in the cafeteria due to the many people and stepped outside for a second.
unfortunately for you, your peace didnât last long because you saw adapt walking towards the cafeteria with gilly, his cameraman.
he calls out your name as the two of you walk towards each other.
âhelloooâ you say as you give adapt a side hug and dap up his cameraman.
âwhere are you heading right now?â he asks.
âum, i donât really know. i just needed some air, itâs pretty packed in thereâ you say, âmaybe iâll go to the police department, thoughâ
âwhy?â he says as both of you stand in front of the camera.
âahh, yea. also, i know you werenât in class today. what was that about?â he says, teasing.
you smile and shrug your shoulders.
âall right, flock. guess we are going to the police department, letâs goâ he says as the two of you walk together, just talking and laughing with the camera following you behind.
once you reach the police department, you hear music coming from the outside.
âkai really popping off with securityâ you say as you knock, not even knowing if they could hear you.
fanum opened the door, âayeâ he says as he steps to the side to let the three of you in.
âwe know why yâall in here, just go take your mugshot, kidsâ he says as he grabs the handcuffs and walks over to the wall with the fake booking process.
âwait,â adapt says as he grabs the handcuffs from fanum and puts one on your wrist and one on his.
he hands you the placard, lifting it up along with your right wrist and his left one.
you treat it as if it were a photoshoot. three pictures are snapped.
one where the two of you pretend to be sad, another one where you two are mad, and the third one was where he made a joke and you are laughing while heâs just looking at you with a soft smile.
after that, you two head back outside where everyone is at the courtyard.
youâre still with adapt and gilly when you find gianna again and pull out your phone to actually read the chat again.
NAH she left us this whole time for adapt
thatâs not teacher behavior
you laugh at your chat, explaining where you had gone and showing them the pictures.
adapt was now a little to the side on his own stream, some of the core boys having come up to him.
THOSE ARE SO GF AND BF CODED
ask him if heâll miss u
âyou guys are always easy as fuckâ you say, giggling. gianna laughs too, knowing sheâs reading the chat right along with you.
ron and jason move from adaptâs stream to yours and you guys start to chat.
âletâs go around to ask questionsâ jason says as he exchanges looks with ron.
they walk over to adapt, tapping him on the shoulder. âare you going to miss your favorite student?â he says.
you smack jasonâs shoulder as ron laughs loudly in the background.
âbroâ you say, that familiar heat rushing right back to your cheeks.
âand whoâs that supposed to be?â adapt answers, a slow grin spreading across his face because he already knew who they meant.
âouu, youâre not the favoriteâ ron teases, pointing right at you.
you roll your eyes, trying to look unfazed, but your smile gives you away completely.
adapt looks past jason and ron straight at you, his eyes locking onto yours as he steps a little closer.
CHAT ARE WE SEEING THIS!?!
wait sheâs actually blushing help
âi donât have favorites, obviously, â adapt says smoothly, his gaze never leaving your face, âbut i guess i can make an exceptionâ
your jaw drops slightly, your face burning hot as your chat goes completely crazy, spamming in all caps.
âoh, my god, youâre insufferableâ you laugh, covering your hot face with your hands for a second before peeking through your fingers at him.
adapt just chuckles, stepping even closer so heâs right in your camera frame, lowering his voice just enough to tease you. âyou can stick around after stream to argue about it, thenâ
the chat loses its absolute mind and even ron and jason start hollering in the background, completely satisfied with the chaos they just caused.
streamer university was over. and althought you made some really sweet memories, you were glad to be at the comfort of your own bed.
while reposting some videos on tiktok from your phone, you got a notification that made your heart drop a little.
thefazeadapt tagged you in a post.
you tap it instantly, scrolling through the photo dump. few selfies and pics where he somehow looks impossibly good, some group shots with the guys, and then you swipe to the very last slide.
itâs the photo of the two of you at the police department. the one where youâre laughing after his joke while he just looks at you, smiling.
the caption said, âif anyone knows anything about something (or abt her) lmk after classđŤĄâ
your heart stutters for a second, that familiar, annoying pull in your chest snapping right back into place.
you bite your lip, thumb hovering over the comment section to type out a reply, when your phone buzzes against the mattress.
a text from an unsaved number flashes across the top of your screen, though you already know exactly who it belongs to.
