Okay, I need to share this. It's a bit of a ramble, so thanks for your patience 😂
I'm a gamer. I love playing video games, recording it, and I keep that... Part of my life seperate from this one, if that makes sense. (thanks for understanding, lovelies)
Well, I had a few drinks, as did the group of friends I was gaming with. And one of the newest acquaintances I've met? Well. He has a very low voice (and it's very smooth... Like... Smoooooth). And he's a hilarious gamer. Met him while playing a game and we got put in a match together, been friends eversince. He's cool people. Well, in the middle of playing fortnite I start feeling the tickle in my nose. Normally, I can mute my mic in time, but... I honestly blame the third drink I had, cause all I did was say "Oh no. Oh no, oh no,oh no,oh no---" and then proceed to sneeze (rapid fit) about 8 or 9 times. Idk. The number is hazy, but it was definitely no more than 10.
The group teases playfully, says it's adorable and shit, I get flustered, we continue to game. A bit after the match, two people in our group have to step away to get stuff, leaving me and smooth voice in the chat. He and I are chatting, I hear him sniffle occasionally, but think nothing of it. This is what I soon hear:
Him: Oh shit.
Me: hmm?
Him: this is-snf!-your fault...
Me: what did I--?
HURRRMMPPHHHHSSHHHUUUUE!!!
Y'all... I freeze. I'm staring at my screen.
Then I hear...
Him: Normally, people bless someone when they sneeze
Me: uh huh.. *realizes what he meant* Oh, fuck me! Sorry! Bless you! *laughs*
And then... He just starts talking about his sneezes. Like...like it's a normal thing to talk about. How sometimes they just sneak up without warning, how huge they get, how he always has to muffle in public... Like it was a chat about the weather. And I say things like "Uh huh" and "Mmhmm" in the right times to show in listening and definitely not wanting to scream and giggle at all this And then he has the AUDACITY to say:
Him: I don't think I could even hold these back. I dunno. Maybe I'll try next time.
Then one of the friends comes back and asks "try what?" he replies "try to hold back my sneezes" and the person laughs... Like "HAH!" kind of laugh, and goes, "Yeah right. I'd pay to see that. You definitely couldn't do it."
My brain was static. Safe to say the next match I definitely died first. I blamed the alcohol, but... It wasn't just that on my brain. Haha
