Chapter Text

[Transcript from Lando’s stream]

Lando:

Hey guysss

Sorry it took me a little while to get the stream going

Took a little bit of fiddling to get everything set up to accommodate for our special guest

But today, as I’m sure you’ve noticed

We’re playing FIFA

You excited Max?

Max F:

To smash you?

Absolutely

Lando:

Rude

I think you’ll find that I’m going to win actually

Max F:

Yeah right

Last time we played FIFA I soundly beat you

Lando:

You’re imagining things

Max F:

Uh huh

Where’s your ‘special guest’?

I was looking forward to meeting him

Lando:

He’s here

Say hi Oscar

 

Oscar:

Uh

Hi

Max F:

Hey mate

Nice to finally meet you

Even if it is over call

Oscar:

Nice to meet you too

Lando’s told me a lot about you

Max F:

Good things I hope

Lando’s told me a lot about you too

Though I doubt they are appropriate for Twitch

Lando:

Max!

Max F:

[laughing] What?

Lando:

[frazzled] Shut up!

Max F:

Yeah yeah

Hurry up and start the game 

I don’t want to get stuck listening to you two flirt the whole time

So you better behave yourselves

Lando:

I don’t think chat would mind if I spent the whole time flirting with Oscar

Would you chat?

Max F:

Wow, I think I’ve ever seen chat scroll that fast

You should bring your boyfriend to our streams more often

It’s good for business

 

[Text to speech donation: Can Lando fight?]

Lando:

What do you mean “can Lando fight”?

Max F:

I think they’re flirting with your boyfriend mate

Lando:

[indignant] How dare you chat

He’s mine!

 

Oscar:

[calmly] That’s right

Max F:

Ew

I’m regretting this already

I’m going to need to bleach my eyes after this stream aren’t I?

Lando:

Don’t pretend you aren’t loving the engagement

Good for business is what you said

Max F:

True

Keep flirting it brings in viewers

We’re already at a level 3 Hype Train and Lando hasn’t even opened the bloody game yet

Hurry up though mate

I’m itching to beat your ass at FIFA

Lando:

Yeah yeah

I’m getting there

Max F:

Don’t have all day mate

Some of us have things to do outside of stare at our boyfriends all day

Lando:

Right

Like you don’t spend all your time admiring P

Max F:

What can I say

She’s beautiful

Lando:

The hypo-

Hypocr-

 

Oscar:

Hypocracy 

 

Lando:

Thanks Osc

Max F:

Chat they’re doing it again

Make them stop

Lando:

Please

Chat is loving it

Aren’t you chat

Max F:

Chat wants you to get on with the game

Lando:

Chat can be patient and let me flirt with my boyfriend

I’ve got the game up

You want England or Brazil?

Max F:

Fucking finally

Give me Brazil

Lando:

Okay

Prepare to get smashed

Are you ready to watch me win Osc?

 

Oscar:

Of course







Lando:

HAH

GET FUCKED MAX

LANDO FOR THE WIN

Max F:

Yeah yeah,

Laugh it up

Only thing you’re winning all night

Lando:

That’s what you said the last three times you lost mate

Just accept it

I’m better than you

Max F:

I don’t believe this

Last time we played FIFA I destroyed you

You’re cheating

Lando:

Nuh uh

You just suck

[Text to speech donation: Oscar is Lando’s lucky charm]

Lando:

You are so right user Cherry04

Osc is my lucky charm

Isn’t that right, Oscar?

 

Oscar:

Sure

I’m not sure what I’m doing

Or what’s going on

But I’m happy to be of service Lan

Max F:

I’m going to throw up again

You’re both disgusting

I’m never streaming again

Lando:

Please, you love it

And now I have to schedule all my streams around you [Oscar]

 

Oscar:

Don’t do that Lan

I’ll come to which ever ones I can

 

Lando

[With wide eyes] Really?

 

Oscar:

[Smiling] Yeah

Max F:

It’s like I’m not even here

It’s just you and I chat

They’re both lost in their own world

What do you think?

Make Lando play as New Zealand so we can get an easy win?

Who’s with me?

Lando:

Oi

I can still hear you

Wanker

Max F:

And he’s back!

How’s your boyfriend

Oscar:

He’s very good, thank you for asking

Max F:

Fuck off

Lando:

Nuh uh uhhh

You’re not allowed to be mean to my boyfriend

Tell him, chat

[Text to speech donation: Oscar is OUR boyfriend now]

[Text to speech donation: Communism]

Max F:

I think chat just claimed your boyfriend for themselves

You’re gonna have to fight for him

Lando: 

I can take them

Max F:

What do you think chat?

Can you beat Lando in a fight?

[Text to speech donation: Easy]

Lando:

You’re on chat

Next stream: Lando vs Chat for Oscar’s honour

 

Oscar:

Do I get a say

Max F:

Too late, mate

I think Lando’s dead set on fighting his chat for your hand

Might as well enjoy it

Oscar:

Right

 




 

Lando laughed as he scrolled through Twitter in his bed. He had successfully introduced Oscar to his fans in today’s stream and it had gone just as well as he hoped. His chat had instantly fallen in love with Oscar, some even attempting to flirt with him through text to speech. They had demanded that Oscar become a regular in Lando’s streams from now on. As difficult as that would be with Oscar’s busy lawyer schedule, Lando wouldn’t be opposed to having his boyfriend around more. 

 

Oscar had been a little awkward at the start, only making one or two comments when Lando scored a goal 0r fouled one of Max’s players. But slowly, he grew more comfortable with it, even going as far to interact with the chat directly. Seeing Oscar talk to his viewers had made Lando happy in a way he was having difficulty putting it into words. 

 

He had worried so much that Oscar would look down on him for his job, would think less of Lando because he was a streamer and not a ‘productive member of society’. But instead, Oscar let himself get involved. He participated in Lando’s whims, cheered him on when he played, even kissed him on stream when he did well. It was simultaneously invigorating and comforting.

 

The door to his ensuite opened and Oscar emerged wearing only a pair of comfortable briefs, his broad chest still slightly damp. Lando swallowed, hard. Oscar grinned when he noticed Lando’s gaze. Nights often played out like this; Lando waiting in bed while Oscar showered, him eyeing down his boyfriend’s naked body, all of it ending in them tangled in the sheets. Even when they spent their nights in Oscar’s apartment it was always the same game. It was a pity that Lando was too tired for it tonight.

 

Oscar made his way around the bed, Lando’s eyes tracking him all the way. His hands practically itched to touch Oscar. He wanted to wrap himself around the other man like a possessed koala. The centimetres that Oscar had on Lando made him perfect for cuddles. As soon as Oscar had gotten himself comfortable on his side of the bed, Lando practically flung himself over the Australian, ignoring Oscar’s little oomf at the sudden weight. 

 

‘Lando.’ Oscar wheezed. ‘You’re heavy.’

 

‘Rude.’ Lando shot back, making no attempt to move. He was comfortable, splayed across Oscar’s broad chest. Lando had once told Oscar that “his tits make the best pillow” to which Oscar could only splutter and blush a deep red in response. It was one of his favourite games, getting Oscar all red and flustered. His boyfriend was usually so calm and composed, the picture of a perfect lawyer. Getting him to crack was a joy Lando took great delight in. 

 

Oscar didn’t reply, instead his free hand buried itself in Lando’s hair, scratching at his scalp in the way he knew Lando liked. Lando practically melted into Oscar’s touch, shifting to make it easier for him to scratch the way he liked.   

 

‘Did you enjoy it?’ Lando mumbled into Oscar’s chest, slightly muffled.

 

‘Enjoy it?’

 

‘The stream.’ Lando elaborated. ‘Did you enjoy being on my stream?’

 

‘Yes Lando.’ Oscar hummed. ‘I had fun.’ 

 

‘Really?’ 

 

Oscar poked Lando’s cheek. 

 

Yes Lando, I did.’

 

‘Good.’ Lando’s voice was still muffled by Oscar’s chest as he pressed further into it. ‘That’s good. I really wanted you to have fun.’

 

‘And I did Lando.’ Oscar assured. ‘I had a lot of fun.’

 

‘And you meant it?’ Lando asked hopefully. ‘You meant it when you said that you’ll come to other streams.’

 

‘I did.’ Oscar repeated. Lando nodded against his chest, satisfied. 

 

‘You aren’t worried or anything?’ He asked. ‘About, like, what your clients think or whatever.’

 

‘Lando, I doubt that any of my clients even know what streaming is.’ Oscar smiled. ‘They’re not going to drop me because I appeared on my boyfriend’s stream. What I do in my own time is my business, not theirs.’

 

“Mmmm.” Lando mumbled. It was enough of a reassurance for him to stop worrying about Oscar’s job prospects for the time being. He would love it if Oscar became a common guest star on his streams alongside the two Maxes. Chat loved him, Max loved bantering with him, it was good.

 

‘Next time,’ He murmured, sleep weighing heavy on his eyelids. ‘Next time I will get you to play as well.’

 

‘We’ll see.’ Oscar laughed, voice growing faint as Lando slowly succumbed to sleep. ‘We’ll see.’
