Chapter Text

Nagi Seishiro is one of the most promising streamers in Japan. He himself doesn’t even know how it happened. 

One day in college, Yoichi, his friend, suggested he start streaming so he could earn some money by playing video games. He thought it was a good idea since he can’t imagine Seishiro to work 9–5 sitting down in an office. Seishiro thought it was too much work and a hassle because why would he need to stream while he played games? Can’t he just play his games like usual?

Yoichi was not having any of those, so he and Meguru bought him a camera and a few more things to set up his computer. Hyoma, another friend of theirs, was actually the one who made his profile on the streaming app he was currently using.

Seishiro didn’t do anything. He just let his friend fumble with his computer while he sat on his bed playing games with his phone.

“You better do a good job streaming, Nagi,” Hyoma said while they ate snacks in his living room. Seishiro lives alone, so his friends come over anytime they want.

“I don’t know how to do it,” Seishiro answered honestly.

“Hey! We sent you links to streamers!” Meguru exclaimed next to Yoichi, who was just listening to their conversation. “Did you not watch it?”

Seishiro just blinked, and that was enough of an answer. 

“We told you to watch it! We wouldn’t always be there for you when you stream, you know?” Meguru said.

“You’re not?”

“You need to do this yourself, Nagi. We don’t even play games,” Hyoma added.

“There’s no point doing it,” Seishiro muttered, and he drank his lemon tea.

“There is,” Yoichi replied. “You never know, but this might be the right career path for you.”

“Right! And you’re attractive, so you might get attention from female viewers!” Meguru grinned. “So do your best, Nagi! We’ll support you all the way!”

Seishiro didn’t respond, but he nodded and thought that he might give this thing a try. 

For the first scheduled stream, all three of his friends were with him in his room. They promoted his stream on all their social media platforms so he could have viewers. They even cleaned his room so that his background wouldn’t be that messy. They stayed off camera and helped Seishiro start his first stream. 

They encouraged him to introduce himself first, which he did, lazily at that, before he started playing. Since Seishiro doesn’t talk much, his friends, particularly Meguru, talked to him off camera so he could at least talk while he play. 

Surprisingly, Seishiro actually got viewers. Though most of them were schoolmates and his friends' acquaintances, they wished him good luck in his streaming career on the chat. His three friends, off camera, showed their appreciation for that.

The stream lasted for three hours, and Seishiro felt like that was the longest three hours of his life. Seishiro didn’t hate it; he was just playing games after all. He got a total of 32 viewers on his stream, and he thought that it wasn’t too bad for his first stream.

Afterwards, his friends bought chicken for dinner to celebrate Seishiro’s first stream. 

“To Nagi’s first stream! Cheers!” Meguru raised his glass of ice tea, and they toasted. 

Yoichi patted him on the back and smiled. “That was good, Nagi. Keep it up!”

“Though you need to learn how to talk when you’re alone on your stream,” Hyoma reminded him, to which the two agreed.

“I’ll try,” Seishiro uttered, and his friends were satisfied with that.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro then streamed regularly after that. For the first few streams, his friends were with him off camera, but once they started to get busy, Seishiro was left to stream alone. 

He tried not to panic when he opened his stream for the first time without his friends by his side, but he promised them he'd try, and so he did. Seishiro greeted the camera shortly, like usual, before he played. He made comments on his game, albeit awkwardly, but he continued. 

Once in a while, his gaze would land on the live chat, where he saw his friends' comments.

Live Chat:

>>> good job seismik!!!!

>>> YOURE DOING GREAT SWEETIE

>>> i’m so proud of you */wipes tears

That day, Seishiro’s stream lasted for almost nine hours.

The longest stream he has ever done since he started streaming.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Months passed, and Seishiro steadily gained viewers with every single stream. 

Seishiro even went viral on the internet for dozing off mid-stream after a viewer posted a screenshot of his stream on Twitter, which boosted his popularity.

Chapter Text

Seishiro woke up to a series of missed calls and texts from his friends and his phone vibrating nonstop from the notification on his Twitter account that Hyoma made a few months ago.

His stream last night ended in success. He got a few donations, and he got at least a hundred viewers, so he was pretty satisfied with it.

It was a Sunday, and Seishiro doesn’t have anything planned for today, so he thought that he might just stream the whole day. Without checking his phone, Seishiro did his almost-non-existent morning routine before opening his stream.

Seishiro waited for viewers to come in. The moment the viewer count hit 1, he greeted his viewer like usual.

“Hi, uh, I have nothing better to do today, so I’ll probably just stream the whole day,” Seishiro said to the camera, opening the game he was currently playing.

While waiting for his game to load, he looked at the live chat and was surprised by how fast the comments were. He gazed at the viewer count, and his eyes widened when he saw the numbers.

7,058

“What…? What’s happening?” He muttered and looked back at the live chat. Seishiro couldn’t read every single comment, but he did pick up Yoichi’s comment among them.

Live Chat:

>>> WHY ARENT YOU RESPONDING

>>> OPEN YOUR PHONE

Seishiro quickly stood up from his gaming chair to get his phone on his bedside table before coming back. He didn’t bother checking his phone because he thought it was just the usual notifications that he was getting. 

Did something happen while he was asleep?

Curious, Seishiro first opened the group chat with Yoichi, Meguru, and Hyoma and saw how they spammed the chat with calls and messages.

Seishiro saw a link on their group chat, so he clicked on it, and it directed him to a Twitter post that made his friends go wild.

The tweet was a quote retweet of a viewer's screenshot of his stream with a singular word caption, but what he noticed was the blue check next to the user’s name.

“Reo…? Who’s that?” Seishiro asked out loud for his viewers to hear.

While he scrolled down to the replies on the quote retweet, the alert chimed on his computer, telling him that someone had donated. 

Seishiro looked up on his screen, and his brows furrowed immediately after seeing the donation message.

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

I’m hurt :(

“What? What do you mean?” Seishiro asked the viewer in particular. 

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

You said who’s that :(

“Who’s what?”

On his peripheral view, he could see the chat box going wild for reasons he doesn’t know about. There was another ping, and it was from the same user.

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

You said who’s Reo :(

“Oh, this one?” Seishiro raised his phone, showing the tweet on his screen. “I don't know who he is, but I appreciate it,” he said.

Seishiro did appreciate it. He probably got 7,058—10,072 viewers now because of whoever that is.

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

I’m hurt :(

He sighed. “Why are you hurt again?”

Confused with the situation, Seishiro looked at the chat to see if they could help him.

Live Chat:

>>> SEISMIK AND REO INTERACTION AAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK

>>> HOLY SHIT DID REO JUST DONATED $800 DOLLARS IN TOTAL NOW!?!?!?!?

>>> BITCH YOURE TALKING TO REO

>>> GO SEARCH HIM UP STOP HURTING HIM

The chat wasn’t any help to him, so his attention went back to the alert on the top right of his screen.

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

I’m Reo, nice to meet you Seismik :)

“Oh, that was you.” Seishiro suddenly felt like his ears were heating up, and he doesn’t know why he felt embarrassed because he doesn’t even know who this person was. His name was right there on his screen, yet he thought it was someone who was a fan of Reo using his name as a username. “Thank you for the donation, and... it’s nice meeting you, Reo.”

For some reason again, the chat went into a frenzy, just like how his friends were on their group chat earlier. Seishiro noticed his game was fully loaded, probably for a while now, so he decided that it was time to play. 

While he played, Reo sent another donation, which Seishiro quickly glanced over before going back to his game. 

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

You’re welcome and good luck on your game!

That day, Seishiro got a total of forty-two thousand viewers, the highest viewer count on his stream ever, and ¥200,000 donations, ¥180,000 of them from Reo alone.

And before he went to sleep, he followed Reo on Twitter and searched for him on the internet.

Chapter Text

Mikage Reo, with a total asset of 705.8 billion yen, was the heir of the Mikage Corporation. One of the most well-known corporations in all of Japan. Because of his background, Reo was famous and was well loved across the globe. No one informed him about Reo’s background, so Seishiro searched it up himself to only see Reo’s total net worth. Seishiro never felt so poor in his life. 

That was all the information Seishiro needed before he closed his web browser and messaged his friends. 

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

The next day, Seishiro woke up with 19.5k followers on Twitter. How did that even happen? Seishiro doesn’t know.

Seishiro felt like he needed to thank his new followers for following him, so he tweeted a short message for everyone before starting his day; he has a morning class after all.

Seismik @seismik ﹒51m

thank you for following me. i’ll stream later tonight

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

“Hello,” Seishiro waved to the camera right after he opened his stream. He doesn’t need to wait like usual anymore because viewers immediately flocked in.

Live Chat: 

>>> hiiiiiii

>>> you look exhausted

>>> what game are you playing today??

>>> did you eat?

Because of his growing audience, Seishiro doesn’t need to awkwardly talk by himself anymore. Yoichi advised him that he could just talk to his chat like he talks to them. “I had classes earlier,” he answered, opening the game he thought of playing tonight. “I’m thinking of playing the usual today, and no, I haven’t eaten yet. I’ll eat once I’m finished. Probably.”

Live Chat:

>>> eat first we can wait

>>> pls don’t skip your meals!!

>>> GO EAT SEISMIK OR ELSE

>>> you can do a mukbang!

“A mukbang?” Seishiro knew what a mukbang was but he was too lazy to do it. Besides, his hunger can wait and he always eat jellies anyway.

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

Go eat, Seismik.

“Reo,” Seishiro muttered. He knew who he was now.

Live Chat:

>>> OMFG ITS REO

>>> REO REO REO REO REO REO

>>> listen to him!

>>> SEISMIKREO INTERACTION ASKSJAKSKAJ

>>> you finally know who reo is

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

Buy your foooooood

Seishiro doesn’t know why Reo needs to use the donation message to talk to him, but he probably wouldn’t notice his chat in the chat box. Still, he appreciates the donation. “Thanks for the donation, but I’ll eat later.”

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

Eat now ( *｀ω´)

Unconsciously, his lips curled slightly while looking at the kaomoji Reo used alongside his message.

Live Chat:

>>> did seismik just smiled 😨😱

>>> HE SMILED AT REO

>>> i can smell something happening

>>> ALL ABOARD THE SEISMIKREO SHIP

>>> i wasn’t expecting that aksjajsbans

>>> let me ride that ship

>>> i just saw a man fall in love

>>> how i met your father

Seishiro’s phone vibrated next to his keyboard. When he picked it up, it was a message from Hyoma.

Sighing, Seishiro looked at the camera and announced that he’ll be eating while playing, reassuring his chat that he wasn’t skipping his meals.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

On the other side of the screen, a purple-haired man with reddened cheeks watched Seismik order takeout for dinner, his fingers hovering on the keyboard of his laptop after typing out a message for the donation.

He didn’t mean to type it. Reo meant to donate with a different message in mind, but Seismik smiling caught him off guard. His hands were shaking after seeing it, and he was about to delete it when he accidentally clicked the ‘Enter’ button, and he almost screamed when Seismik immediately glanced at the alert on the screen.

Seismik’s face suddenly went cold, and Reo knew he fucked up.

“Reo, what’s your number?” Seismik asked and typed something on his phone.

Reo felt his insides do a cartwheel. Because what the fuck!? Seismik was asking for his number! Even the chat was going crazy about what the streamer said.

“I mean, bank details. 300,000 yen is too much, Reo,” Seismik suddenly added. “I’m giving it back to you.”

“Oh.”

Something inside Reo was disappointed, yet he still checked Seismik’s stream, and yep, he just donated 300,000 yen instead of 30,000. He didn’t notice that he added an extra zero.

“Are you there, Reo? I sent a DM on Twitter.”

Reo snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Seismik call for him. He quickly typed out a donation—a cheaper donation this time—along with a message.

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥300!

No need. You can have it.

Seishiro looked like he wasn’t having it and waved his phone at the camera. “Stop donating, Reo. Let’s talk on Twitter.”

Reo bit his lips and grabbed his phone. There was a notification from Twitter on the one account that he never thought would DM him first.

Chapter Text

Reo’s hand shaking earlier when Seismik smiled at the screen was an understatement because now he couldn’t even type properly. He doesn’t know what he was so anxious for. He was Mikage Reo, for fuck’s sake. He took a deep breath before typing his reply.

“Ah, I forgot about that.”

Reo chuckled when he heard Seismik through his laptop. They stopped chatting right after that, when Seismik’s order came. 

Just like what he said earlier, Seismik did play while he ate. Though he keeps forgetting about his food, sometimes the chat has to remind him about it.

“Eating’s a hassle. Someone feed me...”

Reo froze when he heard Seismik whine. He somehow has the urge to enter his screen to feed Seismik himself. Reo shook his head out of that ridiculous thought and read the chat instead.

Live Chat:

>>> ILL DO IT FOR YOU

>>> HOW DO YOU ENTER A SCREEN

>>> omw bb

>>> what a big baby 😩

>>> someone pamper him

>>> ask reo to do it

Reo almost flipped off whoever commented that on the chat. Thankfully, Seismik was busy with his game that he didn’t bother looking at the chat.

For the rest of the stream, Reo refrained from donating and just watched Seismik play for about four hours before he said his good-bye and ended the stream.

Reo felt empty when all he could see was a black background with ‘The live has ended’ at the center of the screen.

He recently started watching Seismik stream after seeing that Twitter post, so he doesn’t know his usual schedule. Reo tried to check for any stream schedules on his profile, but all he could read was ‘I’ll try to stream regularly’. He could ask him, but Reo was too shy to do it, so he decided against it. They’re not close, Seismik doesn’t even know him, so asking him about whether or not he’ll stream tomorrow was a little too much.

Just as Reo was thinking that he should probably study for the test tomorrow, his phone chimed, and he got a notification from an account he has notifications on.

Ping!

Without thinking about it, Reo replied to the tweet before proceeding to do his night routine.

“Nagi!”

Seishiro heard someone yell his name before arms were wrapped around his shoulders.

“Nagi! That was a successful stream last night!” Yoichi exclaimed with a bright smile on his face. “We knew you would make it!”

“Thanks,” Seishiro murmured.

They walked out of the campus together, with Yoichi talking about the recent class he had and some updates on Meguru and Hyoma. “Bachira kept bragging about you to others, saying that he raised you or something. Chigiri did the same, but he more or less just promoted your channel to others since he knows more people than us anyway.”

“They don’t need to do that, though.”

“They wanted to, and I honestly can’t blame them for it.” Yoichi grinned and caressed his already messed-up hair. “We’re just proud of you, that's all.”

Seishiro didn’t reply, but deep inside of him, he was thankful. He wouldn’t be where he was today without them anyway.

“Hm, if you’re that proud, then come to my stream later,” he said when Yoichi pulled away from him.

“Huh? Why so suddenly? You’re doing great on your own now.”

“Some viewers from the early streams said they missed you and kept looking for you,” Seishiro explained. “They became your fans or something.”

“Well, I’m free later, but I don’t know about the other two.” Yoichi grabbed his phone from his pocket and started typing. “Let me ask them.”

It seemed like Meguru’s available, and was thrilled to be on Seishiro’s stream later. Meanwhile, Hyoma will not be coming due to schedule conflicts, which bummed the guy out.

“There’s that. It seemed like it would just be me and Bachira,” Yoichi said after showing Seishiro their reply to his texts.

“That’s fine. We should probably think of what content we’re going to do later.”

“You’re not going to play games?”

Seishiro pouted. “You and Bachira don’t play games, so what are you going to do later then?”

Yoichi laughed and hit him on the back. “Look at you thinking of what content to do! You sound like a pro now, Nagi! ”

Seishiro rubbed his back and glared at him. “Shut up…”

Later that night, it was Meguru who suggested what content they would do for the stream. He even went out to prepare all the things needed for it with Yoichi while Seishiro waited at home. He then decided to tweet about the upcoming change of content to give his viewers a heads-up.

CANT WAIT FOR IT

Seishiro monitored the replies for a bit before preparing for the stream that Meguru ordered him to do.

Chapter Text

At exactly 7 p.m., Seishiro’s stream started, but he wasn’t sitting in his usual gaming chair; he wasn’t even in his room. This time, Seishiro set up his stream in his living room while sitting on the floor with two of his friends beside him. There was a coffee table in front of them and a bowl of spicy noodles.

“Hello. Today, we’re going to do... um, what are we going to do again?” Seishiro turned to Meguru, who face-palmed.

“You should at least do your intro properly. Anyway...” Meguru perked up afterwards and gestured to the coffee table. “We’re going to do a Q&A! It’s been months since Seismik started streaming, and I guess all of you are itching to know more about him, so that’s what we’re going to do today! ”

He then continued explaining. “But it’s not just your typical Q&A! If Seismik refuses to answer a question we picked from the chat, then he’ll eat these super-hot noodles we prepared for him!”

"Basically, they’re torturing me on my own live stream,” Seishiro commented.

Meguru and Yoichi laughed next to him, and then they started the Q&A after telling the chat to ask Seishiro anything.

“Someone commented if they can ask questions to us too, Isagi,” Meguru said as he read the chat. He was the one tasked to ask the question, while Yoichi ensured Seishiro would eat if he didn’t answer the question.

“Oh, sure! Will we be eating too?”

“Yes,” Seishiro muttered, because he couldn’t be the only one suffering in this live stream.

“You heard him! Now chat, go ask us a question!” Meguru excitedly exclaimed, and the chat immediately flooded with questions.

Live Chat:

>>> I LUV THIS

>>> HOW OLD ARE YOU

>>> is seismik your real name???

>>> WHATS YOUR FEET SIZE

>>> SEISMIK NOTICE ME!?

“Hmmm…someone asked if Seismik is your real name.”

They started with an easy question, so Seishiro was able to answer it with no problem. “Uhm, no. It was a name made by a friend for my channel, but it was a name that came out of my real name.”

Questions that were asking about his real name intensified, so he answered them casually. “Nagi Seishiro.”

Live Chat:

>>> HOT

>>> so that’s where seismik came from

>>> i love your name, can i put it next to mine?

>>> HOT MAN WITH A HOT NAME!? YES PLEASE

>>> i want to call you sei 😩

>>> you sure you don’t know reo? the “mik” from seismik looks like the “mik” from “mikage” lol

>>> there’s a delulu above me 👆👆👆

Seishiro eyed Meguru strangely when he started cackling all of a sudden. “Why? What’s the next question?”

“No, no, no, I just saw something interesting,” he said, stifling his laughter.

After he calmed down, Meguru started reading the viewer’s questions again, which Seishiro had an easy time answering. It seemed like Meguru was deliberately choosing the easy ones first before asking questions that would make Seishiro eat the spicy noodles.

“Ohhhh... Seismik, are you single?”

“Yes.”

“Isn’t that too easy?” Yoichi commented next to Seishiro. There were a few questions directed to the two, which they happily answered, but since it was a Q&A for Seishiro, Meguru chose questions that were for him.

“Hey! You never know. Nagi might be in a relationship right now, you know?” Meguru replied, Seishiro’s real name rolling off his tongue naturally after he revealed his real name.

Live Chat:

>>> HES NOT SINGLE HES CLEARLY DATING ME

>>> back off yall

>>> sis kami pa nyan

>>> single and ready to mingle? 👀👀👀

>>> THIS IS YOUR SIGN REO

>>> MINE MINE MINE MINE

>>> hand in marriage sir

Just then, there was an alert, indicating a donation. Meguru’s face lit up, and he hurriedly read the message that came along with the donation. But instead of saying it out loud for everyone to hear, he just gasped out loud.

Anyone who could see Seishiro could tell that there was a big question mark on his face right now. He was too far away from the screen to see the donation, that was why they had Meguru sit next to the screen to read the chat and the upcoming donations for them.

I wonder what it was…

“What is it, Bachira? Say their name so we can thank them,” Yoichi said, seemingly curious about the donation.

Meguru grinned. "Thanks, Reo, for the donation!”

Seishiro perked up.

So it was from Reo.

"Thanks, Reo, for the donation,” Seishiro repeated and told Meguru to proceed with the Q&A. 

“No one’s asking a question, though,” Meguru replied with a grin still on his face as he looked at the chat.

Live Chat:

>>> A CRIMEEEEEE

>>> WHY DIDNT YOU READ IT OUT LOUD

>>> YOU SHOULD HAVE READ IT FOR SEISMIK TO HEAR 🤬🤬🤬

>>> GIVE REO JUSTICE!?

>>> EFFING READ IT

>>> GIVE SEISMIK THE SCREEN ‼️‼️‼️

>>> REO SAY IT AGAIN FRO SEISMIK TO HEAR PLS

“Hm, if no one’s asking questions, should we ask him instead?” Yoichi suggested, which they both agreed to.

“You go first, Isagi!” Meguru chirped while swaying on his seat. It looked like he was having a good time.

“Okay, uhm, what’s the most embarrassing thing that happened to you?”

“I don’t remember,” Seishiro answered.

"That’s not acceptable. You should at least remember one, or you’ll eat.” 

Devil.

Seishiro shrugged and took a bite of the noodles. He couldn’t really remember the most embarrassing moment of his life. Besides, he couldn’t even remember the last time he was embarrassed. The noodles were spicy, but they were bearable, so he gestured to Meguru to ask the next question as he swallowed the food.

“Okay! Who’s your crush, Nagi?”

Seishiro raised his eyebrow. “You already knew the answer to that.”

“Do I?" Meguru said in a singsong.

He sighed and leaned on the couch behind him. “No one.”

“You have to say a name, Nagi.”

“I don’t really have anyone.”

“Then eat.”

“That’s not how this game is supposed to go,” he complained, but still ate the noodles. 

After that, Yoichi asked him simple questions that weren’t too personal, but Meguru, on the other hand, kept bombarding him with questions that didn’t even make sense, like “What date did we meet?” “What’s the name of the bread I ate yesterday?” “Who’s the third president of the USA?”. For pete’s sake, he was born and raised in Japan, so he couldn’t possibly know who was the third president of the USA. Meguru probably didn’t know the answer to any of those either.

Because of these weird questions, Seishiro has no choice but to eat the noodles every time it was Meguru’s turn to ask. Yoichi took pity on him and gave him water because his mouth started burning from all the noodles he ate. 

Yoichi just asked him what his favorite game was, and it was now, unfortunately, Meguru’s turn again. But instead of asking the question immediately, like what he has been doing, he was looking at the chat. 

“What do you want me to ask him, chat?”

Live Chat:

>>> his feet size

>>> you mean his d- size

Moderator: This user has been banned.

>>> TELL HIM WHAT REO SAID IN THE DONATION 🤬🤬‼️

>>> RIGHT!!! TELL HIM!!

>>> ask him about reo

>>> ask him if he would date a viewer

“Someone just asked if you would date a viewer.”

Seishiro wanted to say no because dating for him was a hassle, but he was sure that Meguru wouldn’t take no as an answer. And also, he didn't know if he could handle another bite of the noodles; he couldn’t even feel his tongue anymore, so instead he said hesitantly, “Yes…probably.”

“There you have it! Everyone cheer!” Meguru chirped.

Live Chat:

>>> HAND IN MARRIAGE RN 💍💍

>>> LIFE IS GOOD, THE GRASS IS GREEN, THE AIR SMELLS GREAT, THE STARS SHINE

>>> I LOVE YOU!?!?!?

>>> so are we dating now?

>>> i will worship the ground you walk on mr. nagi seishiro 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

“I guess we could end the stream now,” Yoichi said after seeing Seishiro’s state. He was sweating like he was just thrown to stay in a sauna for an hour; his white complexion turned red due to the heat that the spicy noodles brought him.

“Yup! It seemed like the chat was satisfied with the questions too, right, chat?” Meguru nodded.

Live Chat:

>>> WHAT!? WHAT ABOUT REO’S MESSAGE EARLIER!?

>>> SAY THAT SHIT BACHIRA OR ELSE

>>> IM SATISFIED WITH THE QUESTIONS BUT I DONT WANT THIS TO END WITH SEISMIK NOT KNOWING WHAT REO SAID EARLIER 

>>> REO 😭 WHERE IS HE EVEN 😭 HE DIDNT DONATE AFTER THAT 😭

>>> BACHIRAAAAAAAAA

>>> isagi date me pls

>>> seismik’s lips looks real kissable rn cuz of the noodles

>>> ALL HAIL SPICY NOODLES FOR MAKING SEISMIK’S LIPS KISSABLE

“Yup, they look satisfied! Say your outro, Nagi,” Meguru said, going back to his seat next to Seishiro.

With a wave of his hand and a cough, Seishiro bid farewell. “Bye…”

Yoichi and Meguru backed him up for the outro, and then the live ended. After Yoichi switched off the camera, he immediately ran to the kitchen to get him some milk while Meguru finished the noodles.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

That night, Seishiro, with his mouth on fire and his tongue numb, went straight to sleep when Yoichi and Meguru went home. He decided to just monitor the viewers' reactions to the live stream tomorrow morning.

Unbeknownst to him, the internet was in chaos when a screenshot of Mikage Reo’s donation message went viral.

Seishiro was sipping on some jellies for breakfast on his bed as he checked Twitter. He has no class today, so he was free to laze around all day.

Last night’s stream was a huge success, with 51,063 viewers. His friends being in the stream helped his viewer count rise, and he probably has to share the earnings from the stream with the two of them, but he doesn’t mind. 

He saw tweets admiring his friends and some looking for the guy with long red hair, which was Hyoma. He already made a mental note to schedule a stream where the four of them were present, so that wouldn’t be a problem. 

But the problem was something about Reo. Seishiro didn’t know that Reo left a message alongside his donation since Meguru didn’t say anything about it. From the reactions of the people and the clips he saw, it seemed like Meguru didn’t read the message on purpose. 

Good what? Good because he was single? The replies kept saying that Reo was happy because he was single. But why, though? Seishiro wanted to ask, but then again, he doesn’t even know why Reo sent that message to him.

Thinking about it was too much hassle to think about, so he tried to scroll down those tweets, yet no matter how far he scrolled, he couldn’t get away from the reactions to seeing Reo’s message to him. 

He kept scrolling down, wanting to see some tweets about the recent updates about his favorite game, but something caught his eye.

HEAR ME OUT

so seismik’s name came from his real name “nagi seishiro” right? but i’m wondering about the change of spelling of the word “seismic”. he could have just chosen that for a name but why change it? and also, doesn’t the “mik” spelling look familiar to you? yes, it was from the spelling of the word “mikage” 

so mr. nagi seishiro aka seismik, let me ask you a question, did you or did you not lie about not knowing mr. mikage reo? and is the name “seismik” a ship name for you and reo?

What did he just read? Seishiro was dumbfounded.

First off, “Seismik” was a name created by Hyoma when he created his streaming and social media accounts. Hyoma actually presented him with a bunch of names, but he just chose the first name he saw on the list, and that was why “Seismik” became his username. Seishiro even asked him if he could just use his real name, but Hyoma told him that it would be best if he used a different one. 

Seishiro threw the jelly pouch and clicked through the replies. Most of them were saying how ridiculous the post was; some of them were even agreeing; and the worst of them all, some were mentioning Reo.

This was getting out of hand, so Seishiro should probably clear up the rumors that he was obsessed with Reo. Because he was not.

Hi! Seismik’s friend here and the creator of the name “Seismik”. First of all, the name was created for the sake of Seismik’s gaming career, the spelling change was my own choice to deviate from the original spelling of the word. If only I was on the stream last night, I could have explained it to you myself. 

I’m sorry for the trouble that it caused, especially to @reo_mkg for getting you dragged into this. I didn’t mean for this to happen.

Seismik became Seismik because of me and nothing else and from the very bottom of my heart, thank you for supporting my friend in his gaming career 🙇‍♀️🫶

Let’s meet each other on a live stream in the future!

During that night’s stream, Hyoma cleared the rumors once again, right after the viewers came to his stream. Then, just like he said in their group chats, Seishiro did his usual thing by playing games with Hyoma and talking to him by his side. The chat, especially the new viewers, seemed happy to see a new face on his stream, so there were quite a few donations that he knew were for Hyoma.

Live Chat:

>>> CHIGIRI MY PRINCESS IS HEREEEEEE

>>> my pretty beautiful majestic ethereal man

>>> WHO IS THIS FINE MAN

>>> STAND IN LINE I KNEW WHO HE WAS FROM THE BEGINNING 

>>> where’s isagi and bachira???

>>> hiiiii nagiiiiii

>>> so we are all calling him nagi now

The peaceful atmosphere that his stream brought him came back after the chaotic stream last night, so Seishiro played more at ease tonight while Hyoma chatted with the chat.

Live Chat:

>>> wait i’m new but are you two dating???

Hyoma froze and laughed when he saw the comment. “Nagi, someone just asked if we were dating.”

“Who? You and me?” He replied as he killed one of his opponents on the screen. 

“Who else?” Hyoma covered his face with his hair as he continued laughing.

Seishiro furrowed his brow. He should probably say something, or else strange rumors will start again. “Him and I are not dating.”

“I’m not dating anyone.” He then added for good measure.

Live Chat:

>>> what about the rumors that you’re obsessed with reo?

>>> that’s already debunked by chigiri himself

>>> not nagi tho

>>> trueeeeeeee

>>> MY SEIRE SHIP STILL FLOATING

Seishiro glanced at the chat box for a second and asked, “What’s a ship?”

“The one you see on the sea,” Hyoma replied after he finally stopped laughing, “like the Titanic.”

“The ship that sank?”

“Yup.”

Live Chat:

>>> is it just me or chigiri lowkey told us that our ship sank 🧍‍♀️

>>> NOOOOO YOU CANT DO THIS TO ME 😭😭😭

>>> stay afloat…my seire…ship…

>>> it’s on the bottom of the sea now

>>> the ship’s with ariel and spongebob

Seishiro doesn’t know why the chat box was full of crying emojis, and Hyoma beside him suddenly whispered. “They’re really creative with the names…”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

Ping!

Seishiro looked at the top right corner of the screen, ready to thank anyone who ever donated to him, when he saw a familiar name.

"Thanks, Reo—“ He got cut off when someone suddenly ambushed him, so he focused on the game and couldn’t read the message that Reo sent to him. “Ah, I died.”

Seishiro restarted his game, immediately forgetting about the donation. He hadn’t noticed Hyoma being quiet for a while now. He glanced next to him and saw him get off-screen while holding his phone.

“What are you doing?” He asked.

Hyoma didn’t look up to him when he answered and continued typing on his phone. “I'm just texting Bachira.”

“Okay,” Seishiro said and resumed his game.

Chapter Text

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro made a confused noise when he saw himself and Hyoma trending. Reo was not surprising, as he was always on the top trends anyway, but him and Hyoma getting a spot on the trends? Now, that was very surprising. 

It was his first time checking the trends himself, as he only got to see them through the screenshot his friends sent him via text. He remembered Meguru sending a dozen screenshots of the trends when he woke up the next day after their Q&A stream.

He didn’t bother clicking on the trends, especially the “drop the anchor” one, as he thought it was only about boats. 

Why is everyone talking about boats now? Was there a new trend he didn’t hear about? Probably.

He did click on the “seismik” trend to see what people were talking about him, but he was in it for a surprise when he saw the top post.

Good

Seishiro frowned. He doesn’t get people sometimes. How was that flirting? Reo didn’t say anything romantically on his donation messages. 

Ping!

“Hm?” Seishiro hummed in surprise when he saw a direct message from an account with a blue check. He clicked on the notification and it redirected him to the message.

Seishiro’s eyes widened. Collab? Someone wanted to have a collaboration with him? Without replying, he took a screenshot of the message and sent it to the group chat.

It didn’t take long for his friends to reply.

He opened Twitter again and replied to Yori.

And that was how Seishiro had a collaboration with one of the famous gamers in the country.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

“We’re going to play later tonight,” Yo announced, and he tossed his phone to the four who were bundled up on the couch.

“You actually did it, babe.” Tabito gawked as he scrolled through the conversation between Yo and Seismik.

Yo just shrugged. “We’re just going to play anyway.” He turned to the man sitting on the sofa chair, who had been a mess these past few days for his failed flirting attempts. “You’re welcome, Reo.”

“I told you not to do it!” Reo exclaimed and covered his face with his hands in mortification.

“How is he not going to do it when you’re just going to make a fool out of yourself whenever Seismik’s streaming?” Kenyu commented.

“I was not!?”

“Yes, you are!” All of them yelled back.

Reo pouted. “It’s not my fault he never saw it.”

“Why are you even flirting with him through the donation when you could just DM him?“ Eita asked, and Ranze nodded beside him. 

“I just think that he would respond more if I talked to him through the donations,” Reo answered.

“But, didn’t you talk in his DMs already?” Yo asked this time.

“Yeah, but I got the feeling he’s not the type to like texting that much.”

“Why would you know that if you didn’t even know him, right right?” Ranze uttered. 

Reo was silent after that because it was true, he didn’t know the guy. Yo even helped him get closer to Seismik by collaborating with him because he couldn’t do it himself.

He sighed and slumped on the armchair. “I’m pathetic.”

“No, you’re just in love,” Tabito told him. “That reminds me, why do you even like him?”

“I thought he was cute when I saw a picture of him sleeping in his stream.”

“Then?” Tabito coaxed him for more.

Reo thought about it for a while before answering. “He’s good at gaming. I like the little expression he makes whenever he plays. I like how he tries his best to communicate with his chat when it’s obvious that he's not the talkative type. It’s weird, but I have the urge to pamper the shit out of him. And…” He paused and buried his face in his arm. “I felt at peace whenever I watched him.”

No one said anything after that. Reo’s ears were burning from the embarrassment because, oh my god, he did not just say that. Before he could take back what he said, Ranze beat him to it.

“Down bad, down bad.”

Reo sprang up from his slump, his face red. “Shut up!”

Yo stood up from his seat on the floor. “That’s it.” He walked towards Reo and grabbed his arm. “You’re going to play with us on stream.”

“What!?”

welp. time to search him up

People were pretty excited for the stream. Seishiro was bombarded with notifications from his usual viewers on how thrilled they were that Seishiro’s playing with someone now. 

Last night’s game went pretty well. They exchanged pleasantries before they went gaming. Yori, or Hiori Yo, was a cool guy. He was very soft-spoken and kind, and he was an introvert like Seishiro, but he was sociable, so there was no awkwardness on his end. 

The awkwardness came from Seishiro, who never interacted with anyone except his friends. He had to be nice though, or else Yoichi would have his head if he were rude, knowing that guy’s a huge fan of Yori.

They play really well with each other, so Seishiro has no problem playing with Yo more in the future if the other guy wants to.

“Hello.”

“Hi, Seismik.” 

The live chat went wild when they heard Yo speak.

Live Chat:

>>> ITS REALLY HIM

>>> i love you yoriiiiiii 💙💙💙

>>> who is this white guy

>>> i’m here because of yori

>>> I NEVER THOUGHT I NEEDED A YORI AND SEISMIK COLLAB WTF

“I told you to just call me Nagi.”

Yo chuckled at the other line. “Then just call me Hiori too.”

“I will.”

Live Chat:

>>> real name basis!?!?

>>> BITCH UR CLOSE?

>>> THEY KNOW EACH OTHER YOUR HONOR

“So, shall we begin? What do you want to play, Nagi?” 

And so Seishiro chose the game they played last night, a shooting game that Seishiro really likes. It turned out Yo was really good at this game too, so they kept on winning every match they had.

The stream was just like how they played last night; the difference was that there was a camera and a live audience watching them right now. Playing prior to the stream might’ve helped ease the awkwardness Seishiro has been feeling.

After winning their third match, Yo said something to him that he wasn’t expecting. 

“Uh, Nagi, if you don’t mind, can my friend join us?”

“Yeah, sure…”

“Thank you. I’ll add him to the call.”

Live Chat:

>>> friend? is it karasu?

>>> does any of your friends even play?

>>> WHO IS IT

>>> it’s otoya isn’t it

>>> let it be yukimiya!!!

>>> kurona baby is dat u 🥹

Yo added the user "purple chameleon”, and he greeted him so he wouldn’t be called rude for ignoring Yo’s friend.

“Hello.”

He didn’t hear any answer, so he repeated it. “Hello.”

Silence.

Even Yo wasn’t talking anymore.

Seishiro adjusted his mic and spoke again. “Hello? Am I not audible?” 

“Uhm, hi. No, you are. Sorry.”

A guy’s voice. It wasn’t that manly because it was soft, but not as soft as Yo’s voice. If Seishiro was going to be honest, his voice was something he would hear from an anime.

“Oh, I thought something’s wrong with my mic.”

“No, it works perfectly fine. I was just setting up my own.”

“Okay, but where’s Hiori?”

Just as he mentioned Yo’s name, his voice went through his headset. “I’m here, Nagi. Shall we start? My friend’s new to this, so please cut him some slack.”

“It’s okay, I don’t mind.” 

They started the match immediately after that. Seishiro was so focused on the game that he didn’t even notice what was happening in his live chat.

Live Chat:

>>> 😧😧😧

>>> is that who i think it is

>>> NO WAYYYYYYYY

>>> I KNOW THAT VOICE ANYWHERE

>>> OH YM GD

>>> REO ‼️‼️‼️

>>> SEIRE SEIRE SEIRE SEIRE

>>> CUPID YORI 💘💘

>>> THERES NO FUCKING WAY THATS HIM

>>> HES FRIENDS WITH YORI?? 😱

“You’re good, uh, Purple Chameleon,” Seishiro complimented Yo’s friend. He moved like a pro, and his gameplay was similar to Yo in some way. He was starting to think that this guy was a pro-gamer pretending to be a noob.

“Thank you.”

“Pfft, purple chameleon.” He can hear Yo stifling his laugh.

Seishiro frowned. “I don’t know what to call him.”

“Call him whatever, Nagi,” Yo said.

“Uhm...” Seishiro looked at the chat box, thinking that the viewers Yo pulled in his stream would know his friend’s name.

The live chat wasn’t that much help, though.

Live Chat:

>>> call him mine

>>> ITS BABY

>>> his name is darling, seismik

>>> i second that

>>> BABY BABY BABY BABY

>>> sweetheart, honey, darling, baby, pick one

>>> PURPLECHAMELEON IS MY BABY BUT HE CAN BE YOURS

>>> this chat is so ㅋㅋㅋ

“Baby?” Seishiro didn’t know why the chat kept calling Yo’s friend with an endearment. He wasn’t expecting him to respond either.

“Yes?”

He then heard someone laughing out loud from Yo’s end, which was definitely not Yo, and the chat exploded.

Purple Chameleon coughed and hurriedly corrected himself. “I mean, call me whatever you want, Seismik.”

“Call me Nagi.”

“Nagi.”

Shivers ran down Seishiro’s spine when he heard him say his name. Who knew his name would sound that good on somebody else’s lips?

“…that’s good. Seismik’s too formal,” he said, ignoring the fluttering in his stomach.

His phone vibrated next to the keyboard. He died in the game, so it gave him a chance to reach for his phone. There was a message from Hyoma. It was just three words, but Seishiro’s world shook to its core. He went still, and read the text over and over again.

Seishiro looked up at the screen, and just in time, he saw Purple Chameleon’s character head shooting someone. He then called him, not by his username but by his real name, hesitantly. “Reo?”

There was a gasp on his headset before Reo’s character completely stopped on the screen.

“Are you Reo?” He asked carefully, like he was trying not to frighten a small kitten lest he run away.

Instead of answering, Reo disconnected from the call and left the game.

“What the—”

Chapter Text

“What the—“ 

Seishiro wasn’t expecting Reo to disconnect from the game.

“Reo?”

“He left, Nagi,” said Yo when he kept calling for Reo’s name.

“What? Why would he leave? I was just asking.” Seishiro was almost pouting. 

Did I do something wrong?

“Tell him to come back,” he said to Yo.

“I’m texting him right now.”

Minutes later, “purplechameleon” was added back on the call.

“Reo.” He called the moment Reo reconnected to the game.

“…hi, Nagi.”

“So, you really are Reo,” Seishiro said, finally having a confirmation from the man himself. “Why did you leave?"

“Sorry, I panicked when I heard you call my name all of a sudden, so I accidentally left the call.”

Seishiro hummed. He didn’t know how that was possible, but he’ll take the excuse. “I didn’t mean to startle you.”

“It’s fine. It’s my fault for not introducing myself in the first place.” 

“It’s okay, you can do it now.”

“Eh?” Reo was caught off guard but did it anyway. “Uh, hi, I’m Reo. It’s nice to meet you, Nagi.”

“Nice to meet you, Reo,” Seishiro said, his lips curling slightly on the corner.

Live Chat:

>>> SEIRE INTERACTION YALL

>>> literal “how i met your father”

>>> bros in love

>>> SEISMIK SMILED OMFG 😭😭

>>> i too would smile if i’m talking to reo

>>> SEIRE SEIRE SEIRE SEIRE SEIRE

>>> SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

>>> back off seismik hES MINE

>>> where did yori go?

>>> yori went silent lol

>>> ANCHOR’S UP THE SEIRE SHIP IS SAILING 🤍💜

>>> ANCHOR’S UP 🤍💜

>>> 🤍💜

Then the chat was filled with white and purple hearts. It looked pretty, but he didn't know what it meant.

“The live chat’s pretty.” Yo spoke up after minutes of silence while Reo nervously laughed.

“Thanks for the hearts. It looks pretty,” Seishiro said before turning back to the game.

"Wow, Nagi, you’re so—” Yo cut himself off before finishing whatever he wanted to say.

“What?”

“Nothing. Let’s just play.”

For the next hour, the three of them shot in-game characters for entertainment, and Reo, who admitted he just started playing yesterday, improved drastically over the hour. He was so good that it was kind of unfair for someone to be that good after two days of playing.

The stream garnered 185,074 viewers, his highest viewing count to date, and it was all thanks to Reo and Yo. That was the plan all along, as Yo suggested that Seishiro stream alone so that the viewer count wouldn’t be cut in half if Yo streamed as well. After all, if both of them streamed at the same time, Yo would get all the viewers, as he was the most popular of the two. 

It was a plan to get Seishiro known in the world of gaming. It was the easiest way for Seishiro to be recognized by viewers if he streamed the collab alone. Was that even a collab? He doesn’t know, but he was thankful regardless.

When the stream ended, Seishiro said his gratitude to both Reo and Yo.

“Thank you for collaborating with me.”

“It was no problem. I had fun playing with you, Nagi.”

“Me too,” Seishiro sincerely said. “I’ll share the earnings of the stream with both of you.”

“No need. That’s all yours, Nagi.” Yo profusely declined.

“It’s a lot though,” he uttered, which was not far from the truth. His viewers, Yo’s and Reo’s fans, donated a lot to him. Some even got a subscription, which he was very thankful for.

Reo’s fans were funny with their attempt at donations, though. Alongside their donation was a message of “since Reo can’t donate to you, I’ll be donating to you instead”, which made Reo laugh whenever Seishiro read the message out loud.

Seishiro had fun. It was a different type of fun whenever he was with Yoichi, Meguru, and Hyoma because this time he had people to play with. 

“If you don’t mind, can we play again next time? Off-stream and on-stream, of course,” Yo said.

“Sure,” Seishiro agreed almost immediately. “You too, Reo.”

Reo made a noise, like he was not expecting to be included, before responding. “Me? Oh, I would love too.”

Seishiro felt satisfied with that.

“It’s getting late, so I should probably go. Good game, Nagi,” Yo announced, then bid his good-byes.

“Bye, Hiori. Thank you again,” Seishiro said before Yo left the call. 

Now, it was just Seishiro and Reo.

Seishiro waited for Reo to leave because it would be rude for him to leave first, but Reo seemed like he would not be leaving at any moment. Does he not know how to leave? But Reo disconnected earlier. 

“Is there a problem, Reo?” He asked because Reo was not saying anything.

“Nothing! I was just thinking.”

“About what?”

“How fun it was to play with you.”

Seishiro’s hand, which was resting on the armchair, involuntarily twitches. His heart started racing faster than it used to, but he ignored it. “Really? I thought you didn’t have fun because you were so quiet when we played.”

“I was just nervous,” Reo mumbled. “I swear I was having fun, but I didn’t know if you’d like me to be loud while we play.”

“Why would you think that?”

“You like your peace, Nagi,” Reo said, like he was so sure. “You looked like you loved some peace and quiet.”

“A shooting game isn’t all that peace and quiet, though.”

“Still. You’re also wearing headphones,” Reo pointed out. “It will be irritating to have someone being loud in your ears every game.”

“I don’t mind.” Seishiro shrugged it off. “You can be loud, Reo.”

Reo made an indistinguishable noise, but Seishiro continued. “Earlier, you sounded like you wanted to cheer whenever you killed someone,” he added. “Let out your excitement, Reo. I wouldn’t mind.”

“Why are you so conscious of me anyway?” He asked because why was someone like Reo being careful around him? It was not like he was going to bite his head off when he did something he thought Seishiro wouldn’t like.

“Because it’s you, Nagi.”

“Huh?”

“Nothing! I have to go, I have a morning class tomorrow. Goodbye, Nagi!” Then he left, leaving Seishiro alone and dumbfounded.

What just happened? 

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

It had been days since the collab with Yo, if you even call that a collab, and Seishiro, Reo, and Yo never left the trending topic on Twitter. 

Why? He doesn’t know. People never seem to run out of posts about the three of them. He was thankful though, because his account just reached 100k followers within two days, all thanks to the two of them. 

His friends were super happy about his little achievement, so they went out to eat to celebrate—Seishiro’s treat, of course. They were extremely jealous that he got to play with Reo and Yo at the same time, so he joked that they should probably start practicing playing some games, which they did very passionately.

Seishiro also started playing with Yo more frequently on and off stream. They tried various games too so that Seishiro could broaden his games during the stream. He sucked rightfully in games not related to shooting characters though. Nevertheless, he had fun so he won’t complain. Sometimes.

Reo would then join whenever he was available. He was a busy person after all, as a student and the future heir of his parent’s billionaire company. They continued talking too. They even exchanged numbers so they could talk outside of the call. Besides, using Twitter as a means of communication wasn’t so ideal considering Seishiro’s and Reo’s filled DMs, so texting it was.

Ping!

Seishiro sucked on his jellies before turning on his phone to see the text message he knew Reo sent him.

He does, and Reo knew his schedule because Seishiro easily gave his weekly schedule to Reo when he asked about it the other day.

He was curious, so he asked. The reply didn’t come as fast as the other, so Seishiro finished his jellies and decided to prepare for school when his phone chimed.

Seishiro’s brow raised in surprise.

He thought Reo would be the type to not publicize his relationship due to him not wanting other people in his business, but guess not. Seishiro wasn't expecting that Reo was already in a relationship though, as he was obviously pertaining to someone.

Well, it was Reo after all. He couldn’t be single.

But why does he never heard anything about it? Seishiro searched for Reo on the internet, but no news of him being in a relationship came up. Considering who he was, news about his relationship would be at the top of the search results.

Reo sounded so sure that he would tell the world about his partner, but he probably wasn’t ready to come out yet. Seishiro then stopped thinking about it, as it was none of his business.

There was no reply after that, so Seishiro went on and prepared for class. 

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro never heard back from Reo after their conversation in the morning. He guessed Reo was just too busy to reply. Anyway, he had an off-stream game today with Reo and Yo, so it was not like that was the last time they would hear from each other.

“Hello, Nagi,” Yo greeted when he joined the server.

“Hello.”

“Shall we start?”

Seishiro made a confused noise. “Reo’s not joining with us?”

“Uhm…no. Something came up so he wouldn’t be able to play with us tonight.”

“I see.” 

They played without Reo, which was something Seishiro was used to. Reo was a good player and teammate, so it was kind of a bummer for him not to be around. Still, they did pretty well on their own, and they steadily raised their ranks in the game. 

Seishiro and Yo were in the middle of a conversation about the games they were going to play on their next live streams when Reo joined the call.

“Reo…”

“I thought you weren't going to join today?” Yo asked, and Seishiro imagined him raising his eyebrows at Reo.

“Am I not allowed in here?” Reo asked back.

“I did not say that,” Yo said in his defense. “You said something came up or…out?”

“Shut up, Hiori.”

Yo just laughed as if something in their conversation was really funny to him, which Seishiro doesn’t follow. He didn’t ask, though, and just stayed quiet.

“Anyway, you came at the right time. Nagi and I were just talking about what games were going to do on tomorrow’s live stream.” Yo paused. Seishiro could hear the smile on his voice when he said, “Though I was thinking of doing an IRL stream instead, what do you think, Nagi?”

“What?”

“What!?”

“What’s an IRL stream?” Seishiro asked because this was the first time he heard about it.

“It’s basically just streaming your daily life,” Yo explained. “Though we could just meet up and do something together if you want, then we’ll stream it, like your Q&A stream before.”

“Oh, so you mean... you want to meet up with me?”

“Yeah, you’re a chill guy, Nagi. I don’t mind meeting you in real life.”

Seishiro was flattered, but was it really okay for him to meet up with someone like Yo? 

“Are you sure? People call me weird though.”

“Yup. And I’m used to weird guys, like, have you seen my friends? They’re all different types of weird.”

Said friend was protesting about it. “Wait, why are you suddenly meeting up with Nagi? Isn’t it too early?“

“It’s better early than never, Reo.”

Seishiro thought that the saying goes, “It’s better late than never,” but he didn’t comment about it. He wasn’t against meeting up with Yo. To be honest, he was pretty excited. And knowing his friends, they would be too.

“When will we meet?” He asked, cutting off Reo’s protests.

“When are you available the whole day?“

Seishiro wracked his brain for his class schedule. “Saturday this week.”

“Oh, we’re the same.” He can hear the smile in Yo’s voice. “Then we’ll meet this Saturday at... where are we going to meet?”

“We can meet here at my house, but I don’t know what we’re going to do, so it’s probably going to be too small.”

“Yeah, we do need a big house,” Yo said. “Reo, your house is available on Saturday, right?”

“What? Why is my house suddenly brought up in this conversation?” Reo skittishly asked.

“Because you’re obviously coming with me?” Yo commented like it was a matter of fact. “Did you really think that I’m meeting Nagi alone?”

Seishiro’s eyes widened at that. “Oh, I’m meeting up with Reo too?”

“No! I’m not—“

Seishiro pouted. “You’re not?”

“I—“ Reo paused. “…I am. I was just not informed about it beforehand.”

“I wasn’t too, but I’m not against it.”

“It’s settled, then? We’re meeting up at Reo’s place this Saturday,” Yo said, and Seishiro nodded. He forgot they couldn’t see him, so he answered verbally.

“Yeah, but what are we going to do?”

“I’m going to think about it for now. I’ll update you tomorrow.”

“Okay.” Seishiro nodded again, but this time it was for himself because, wow, he was going to see Reo and Yo in real life. “See you this Saturday.”

“Yeah, see you, Nagi!” Yo exclaimed. He sounded so excited for some reason Seishiro doesn’t know about.

And it was settled. Seishiro was officially going to meet Reo and Yo in real life.

He can’t wait. 

To think he was actually looking forward to meeting new people was impressive in and of itself.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After the call with Seishiro, Yo received a message from someone who would probably write his name cover-to-cover on a death note if he got his hands on one.

Yo giggled. This was more fun than any game he played.

Chapter Text

Saturday came so fast that Seishiro almost forgot that they were supposed to meet up today if not for Yoichi spam calling and texting him before his alarm even rang off. He remembered telling Yoichi to wake him up in case he overslept, but it's not even 9 o'clock yet, so he sent Yoichi angry emotes.

It was still too early for Seishiro, so he opted to play games to kill time until his alarm rang.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After sending a quick test to Yo, the cab stopped right outside a tall building, approximately 50 stories high. It was the tallest building Seishiro had ever seen, and to think that this was probably one of Reo’s family’s properties was making it even more insane.

“Whoa…”

Unsure of what to do, Seishiro stood awkwardly outside the building to wait for Yo. He was seemingly out of place with the people who entered and exited the place in well-groomed suits. 

Seishiro was looking at the entrance when a bundle of purple exited the building. He realized, a little too late, that it was Reo. He was wearing a sweatshirt with weird patterns and gray slacks.

Reo was looking around when their eyes met. Seishiro saw the moment when Reo’s eyes widened, his lips turning into a grin.

“Nagi!” Reo called out and ran towards him.

Ah, is that how my name sounded on his lips in real life?

Seishiro was frozen in his spot until Reo stopped right in front of him. “Hello. Did you wait long?”

He gulped. He was just staring at him before he realized that he had to respond. “…no. I just got here.”

Reo smiled. “That’s good. Then shall we?”

Shall we what? Seishiro doesn’t know, but he just nodded at him. Reo then started walking towards the building, so Seishiro followed right behind him.

When they entered the building, there was a huge lobby that was larger than Seishiro’s entire dorm room. 

Yikes. It’s big.

“Welcome back, Master Reo,” an old man behind a desk said.

“Hey, Mr. Cierge.” 

“Mr. Cierge?” Seishiro mumbled.

Reo grinned. “He’s the concierge!”

Seishiro blinked. Why has the room suddenly gotten brighter?

“This way, Nagi.” Reo then led him to the elevators.

Seishiro was dumbfounded when he saw that the building had 53 floors. Just what did they do to have a building with 53 floors?

“We’re getting off here,” Reo said, exiting the elevator with Seishiro in tow.

They walked until they reached a slick black door. Reo opened the door for him and when Seishiro stepped in the room, he immediately noticed the huge glass wall overlooking the city. It was beautiful. He bet that it looked prettier at night.

“Nagi.”

Seishiro turned his head towards the voice and saw Yo approaching him in his full glory. “It’s nice to finally meet you,” Yo said, extending his hand for a handshake.

Seishiro took his hand and slightly bowed. “Hello. It’s nice to meet you too...” He greeted him back and retracted his hand.

Yo smiled at him. “Since you’re here now, shall we discuss the stream?“

“Sure.” Seishiro responded, then made their way to the couch.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro found himself in Reo’s large, sleek, and modernized kitchen after their discussion in his room. They were going to do a cooking stream because, according to Yo’s research, that was what people wanted to see them do.

It was not the first thing he would think of if he do an IRL stream, but since it was for the fans, he would just have to do it. He complained about it though, when he heard about it for the first time because he could not cook for dear life. Yo assured him that he would be one hundred percent supervised the whole time, and so he agreed.

The camera and the screen were already set up when they arrived at the kitchen, as were the ingredients and materials they would use, courtesy of Reo’s assistant preparing them for them. The only thing they needed to do was open the stream and do the actual cooking.

“Are you both ready?” Yo asked and glanced at the both of them.

They were standing far from him, with Yo in the middle behind the marble counter. Reo’s assistant, Baya, was behind the camera. She was there in case they needed help and to prevent the kitchen or anything from being burned.

After responding to Yo, he gestured for Baya to start the stream, and they waited for viewers to come in. It didn’t take long because the chat box was already unreadable given how fast the chats were.

Yo chuckled after reading a few of the chats. “Everyone looked excited. Anyway, as you can see, I’m going to do an IRL stream today, and guess what? We have a special guest! It’s none other than…” He drummed his hands on the counter as Reo showed himself on camera.

“Me! Hi, guys!” Reo grinned and waved at the camera. He said that it was his first time on stream, but he was oozing with confidence. There was no sign of nervousness as he did a little introduction to the viewers. As expected of the Mikage heir.

Reo was dazzling, literally, and happiness looked good on him. The pictures he saw on the internet didn’t do Reo justice because he looked way better in real life that it was almost unfair. How could someone look like that on the daily?

Live Chat:

>>> OMFG REO

>>> it’s reoooooooooo

>>> HELLO BABY

>>> they’re actually friends 😭

>>> YORI AND REO LIVE LEZZGO

>>> 💜💜💜

Yo then grinned. “We have one more guest, and that is...” 

Reo turned towards him, his amethyst eyes sparkling as their eyes met. Seishiro took a deep breath before he walked into the frame and stood beside Reo. “Hi…I’m Seismik.” He did a little wave to the camera, and the live chat went batshit crazy.

Live Chat:

>>> WTFFFFFFFFFF

>>> SOMEONE PICK UP MY JAW ON THE FLOOR 

>>> SEIRE IRL!?!? 🤍💜

>>> I JUST SLAPPED MYSELF OMFG ITS REAL

>>> they finally met each other 😭😭😭

>>> ANCHORS UP MOTHERFUCKER 🤍💜

>>> the trio i didn’t know i needed!?!?

>>> i’m loving this already 🤍💜💙

>>> i’m in heaven rn

>>> YORI SEISMIK AND REO IN ONE FRAME AAAAAHHHHHH

“I’m glad you like our guests.” Yo smiled and started explaining what they’re going to do today. 

Seishiro tapped his right foot on the floor because, for some reason, this was making him nervous. He thought maybe that he wasn’t in his comfort zone and they were not playing games so that why he was feeling nervous.

They grabbed the things they needed and put them on top of the counter when Yo finished explaining what they were going to do. But first things first, they had to wear an apron. Reo gave him one, and Seishiro raised an eyebrow when he saw the design.

“Why is there a seal in here?” He asked. It was a white apron with a cartoonish seal in the middle.

Yo looked at the apron in his hands before chuckling. “Sorry. It reminded me of you, so I bought it,” he said. “That’s yours now, Nagi.”

“Thanks?” Seishiro responded and wore the apron.

Live Chat:

>>> chef yori, chef seismik, and chef reo in da house

>>> these chef be looking good

>>> can i have the chef

>>> waittttt does anyone of you even know how to cook

“Someone asked if any of us knew how to cook,” Reo said while looking at the chats.

There was a deafening silence from the three of them that answered the question.

Live Chat:

>>> oh no

>>> LET THEM COOK!? (figuratively and literally)

>>> this is gonna be chaotic 

>>> PLS DONT BURN THE KITCHEN

Reo then cleared his throat to speak. “In my defense, my meals are always prepared for me.”

“Same.” Yo agreed.

“…I have never cooked in my life,” Seishiro mumbled, but the mic picked it up.

Live Chat:

>>> what kind of life are you living

>>> oh shet

>>> pls call 119 immediately 

>>> rip reo’s kitchen

“Well, since none of us can cook, I thought of an idea to make this a little bit more entertaining.” Yo suddenly announced and fished something out of his pockets. He opened his palm, and Seishiro saw three folded papers.

Reo raised an eyebrow. “Are us three not knowing how to cook, not entertaining enough for you?”

“It is, but it wouldn’t hurt to add more spice to it,” Yo said. “Now, pick a paper, but don’t tell us what it was and don’t show it to the camera.”

Seishiro and Reo picked up a piece of paper, then Seishiro leaned over to the side in an attempt to hide the content before opening it. His brows furrowed when he saw only one word written on it.

Reo.

“What are we going to do with this?” He asked and crumpled the paper before putting it on his hoodie jacket.

Yo grinned. “You’re going to cook for the person you picked,” he added. “All three of us were thinking of making three different dishes anyway, so why not just cook for another person, right?” 

“That’s kind of awful,” Reo grimaced. “What if the dish turns out to be bad?”

“That’s why we’re going to cook for someone, to give us a little push to do a decent job at least,” Yo replied.

“…I’m sorry in advance to the person I picked,” Seishiro muttered because Reo may or may not be hospitalized after eating his food.

“That’s fine, Nagi. Just do your best,” Yo assured him, and Reo nodded in agreement. “I’m sure the person you picked will like your food no matter what.”

I highly doubt that.

Thus, the cooking show with three amateur chefs began.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro had no idea what kind of food Reo liked, so he opted for a safe option, katsudon. Everyone eats katsudon, and there is no way Reo hates katsudon, right? Please let him be right. He’s going to be publicly humiliated if he got it wrong. And besides, a plain tonkatsu was a little too simple for someone like Reo, so katsudon it was.

He searched for a simple recipe on the internet and prepared the things he needed. Reo’s kitchen had everything a chef would have ever wanted, so it didn’t take long for him to complete the ingredients. 

“What are you going to make, Nagi?” Yo asked after taking out a plate from one of the drawers. 

“Katsudon…”

“Oh, that sounds yummy. I wish I was the one you picked.”

“You probably shouldn’t wish for something like that,” Seishiro said, and he started defrosting the pork chops. He asked Baya, Reo’s assistant, who was behind the camera, beforehand if the meat he grabbed was indeed pork chop, which earned him a thumbs up from her. 

Seishiro grabbed a bowl that was big enough to fit the pork chop and filled it with cold tap water. Based on the website he read, putting the pork chops in cold water was the fastest way to defrost them, so that was what he was doing. He was about to put the pork chops in the bowl when a hand stopped him.

“Wait, what are you doing?” Reo asked while holding his wrist.

“Uh, defrosting?”

“Aren’t you supposed to put it in a bag before defrosting it?”

I should? 

Seishiro looked at his phone placed on the counter, and just as Reo said, the article he was reading said to place it in an airtight bag. He didn’t read that far because the only thing he read was “put it in cold water” and went on with it. 

“You’re right,” Seishiro mumbled.

Reo sighed next to him and fumbled through the drawers. He saw him take out a ziplock bag before handing it to him. “Here. Put the pork here before you submerge it in the water.”

“Thanks…” Seishiro said, taking the ziplock bag from him. He placed the pork chops inside and finally put them in the water. Now, he just needed to wait for a few minutes and change the water until it thawed.

While waiting for the pork chops to defrost, Seishiro looked at the other two. He saw Yo working on a fish while Reo was putting rice on a bento box.

“Why are you making a bento?” Seishiro asked Reo out of sheer curiosity. 

Reo shrugged. “It’s the simplest thing I could think of.”

Seishiro doesn’t know why Reo needed to make the most simple dish. At this point, Seishiro’s katsudon could be the fanciest food among the three dishes. 

The pork chops were taking a long time to defrost, so Seishiro looked at the live chats and decided to converse with the viewers as the other two were busy with their dishes.

Live Chat:

>>> i just noticed that seismik’s huge

>>> he’s towering over the both of them 😭😭

>>> who did you pick seismikkkkk

>>> reo’s so gentle with his food 😭

>>> i wonder why yori’s cooking with a fish

>>> let’s not burn reo’s kitchen guys

>>> what’s your first impression of the two

“First impressions of the two?” Seishiro repeated the question before answering. “Uh, I think Hiori was really nice. He’s also really soft-spoken.”

“Aw, thank you,” Yo commented while he put the fish in a bowl.

“For Reo, he’s…” pretty “someone I thought was just a regular viewer who was really nice to donate to me.”

“That’s what you think of me?” Reo asked, he sounded like he was offended by what Seishiro said. 

Seishiro nodded. “Yeah, I didn’t really know who you were before, but I looked you up after the live stream…” he paused. How could he convey the next words without offending him?

“You still don’t know who I am?” Reo continued his words for him.

“Yeah,” Seishiro mumbled. “Sorry…”

Instead of being offended, Reo just laughed. “It’s fine. You know who I am now, so that's what matters.”

Seishiro nodded and looked back at the chat.

Live Chat:

>>> seire’s interacting together ueueueueue 😭😭😭

>>> i’m gonna cry because seismik blew up and he’s now with yori and reo!!!!

>>> this feels so domestic for some reason

>>> it feels like they’re cooking for their kids 

>>> yori i can see you smiling from over the stove

>>> i don’t get the seire ship but i think you’re onto something 

>>> you guys look good together

Seishiro tried to ignore those types of chats and tried not to show any reaction on his face. He would always see “seire” trending on Twitter, and that was the trigger for him to delve into it. It turned out to be his and Reo’s names put together. He then looked up what a ship meant on the internet, and he saw how it was two people paired up together and hoping for a relationship between them, usually a romantic one.

“Ignorance is bliss," and Seishiro regretted looking it up. If he didn’t know what it meant, he wouldn’t feel anything about it. He doesn’t feel uncomfortable about it; it was something inevitable when you’re a public figure, but he does feel uncomfortable for Reo’s sake. Reo was already in a relationship, not that their fans knew that, so shipping them together doesn’t make sense. 

The chat was just filled with various comments about him and Reo, no question or whatsoever, so he decided it was finally time for him to cook. The pork chops were already defrosted anyway.

After all, the weird knots in his stomach wouldn’t go away unless he stopped looking at the chat.

Chapter Text

Seishiro pounded the pork chops as if it were something that wronged him before seasoning them with salt and pepper. He then grabbed two shallow bowls for the egg and panko. 

The kitchen was starting to smell fishy, courtesy of Yo putting his fish in the oven. It wasn’t an unpleasant smell, so Seishiro has no complaints. And just like Seishiro did earlier, Yo talked to the viewers while waiting for his fish to bake.

Meanwhile, Reo was working silently next to him. He looked really focused, and unless someone talked to him, he wouldn’t take his eyes off the bento. He was working hard for something that would just be eaten later. Reo also looked like a pro, so he probably could make fancier food, but opted for a simple one for some unknown reason.

Seishiro looked away from Reo and instead focused on his dish. He should at least make it decent for Reo not to throw it up on the first bite.

He dipped the seasoned pork chops in flour, eggs, and panko in order. Seishiro then transferred it to a frying pan with hot oil, being as careful as he could be. While waiting for the other side to brown, Seishiro thought about how cooking was such a hassle. It took 30 minutes to an hour to prepare food, only for it to be eaten within a few minutes. Also, there were a lot of dishes to do after cooking which was another hassle on itself.

This is why I don’t cook…

Once one side was brown, he immediately flipped it to cook the other side, but he did it too carelessly that hot oil splattered around and some even got on his hands.

“Nagi!” Reo hurriedly came to his side. “Are you okay?” He asked and held his hands to inspect it for burns.

Seishiro’s heart started racing. It doesn’t hurt that much, but it slightly burns. But he was fine, there was nothing to worry about. “Yeah, it just got on me a little.”

His hands are soft…

“You should be more careful while frying, Nagi,” Reo said, releasing his hands.

Seishiro nodded. Reo stared at his face for a while before going back to his spot. As soon as he left, Seishiro let out a breath that he didn’t know he was holding.

He didn’t think much about Reo immediately coming to him after he was splattered with oil and went back to cooking. 

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

After ten more minutes of hell, Seishiro finished his dish, and he could collapse on the ground because that just took 20 years off of life. He also vowed not to ever cook again. 

The katsudon he cooked wasn’t that bad. Even if he didn’t get to taste the egg, whether it was too salty or not, he was pretty proud of it. He did mess up the onions, though. He doesn’t know how to slice one, so the onions turned out ugly and uneven. He was just glad that he wasn’t cut or anything. Seishiro also gave Baya a mental “thank you” for helping him with plating.

The other two were done with their dishes as well, and it was finally time to eat. But before that, they have to reveal who they were cooking for.

“Okay, so Nagi, who is that katsudon for?” Yo asked him, and without saying a word, Seishiro gave Reo the bowl of katsudon.

Reo widened his eyes in surprise. “It’s for me?”

Seishiro hummed. “Yeah, I don’t know what you like, so I just cook whatever.”

Reo looked down at the bowl and back at him again. His eyes were shining, and he had a huge smile on his face. “Thank you! I’ll eat it well.”

Seishiro nodded and looked away. His ears were starting to burn. He was sure that no oil went on his ears, though.

"Now, Reo, who’s that bento for?” Yo asked.

Reo chuckled before pushing the bento toward Seishiro. “It seemed like we were cooking for each other.”

Seishiro was taken aback. He doesn’t know when was the last time he received a bento from someone. His parents would usually just give him a sandwich for lunch in elementary school, and since middle school, he has never bothered to bring his own food for lunch. 

He opened the lid and saw the rice shaped like a panda. There were various foods in it, like tamagoyaki, sausage octopus, karaage, and carrots shaped like flowers. It looked good, and he could feel Reo pouring everything into the bento.

“Do you not like it?” He heard Reo timidly ask. 

Seishiro was quick to assure him. “No. I like it. I was just surprised,” he said. “Why did you make a bento anyway?”

“Because you think eating is a pain.”

Seishiro widened his eyes.

What?

Reo continued. “I thought of the most simple dish because I’m not sure if you’ll like it if it's too heavy or fancy.” He then gave him a tall glass of iced drink. “And here is lemon tea to go along with it. I looked up what’s your favorite food, and lemon tea was all I could find, so I thought of making it alongside the bento.”

When did he make this? Was all Seishiro could think about while he took the lemon tea. He didn’t see Reo working with a lemon while he breaded the pork chops. Was it when he was frying? He had his back on the counter the whole time, so Reo could easily make it without him knowing.

Ah, that’s why I smelled honey earlier.

“Thank you,” Seishiro said. He doesn’t know how to show his gratitude besides thanking him anyway. 

He was sure that he’ll eat whatever Reo prepared for him, but a bento wasn’t too bad. It was actually kind of cute. He never knew that he would appreciate a bento this much.

Reo seemed satisfied because he smiled before facing Yo. “So, you got yourself then?”

“Yup.” Yo nodded and showed the fish dish he made. “That’s why I just tried to cook my favorite food.”

“Should we eat then?” Yo then added. “I’m really hungry right now.”

All three of them then sat on a stool behind the countertop in front of the camera. Yo encouraged the viewers to ask them questions so they could have a little Q&A while they ate.

Live Chat:

>>> how did you and reo met!?

>>> fuck i’m getting hungry seeing you guys eat

>>> yori you did this on purpose did you 🫢🥴

>>> reo’s bento looks so cute 🥹

>>> fucking giant white haired man get to taste reo’s cooking before me!?

>>> i want a bite of nagi’s katsudon 🤤

>>> i want to bite reo

>>> reo pls say “i love nagi”

>>> WHATS YOUR IDEAL TYPE SAY IT

“Ideal type?” Yo repeated a question he saw. Seishiro found it strange that he chose that among the other questions. He didn’t expect Yo to be interested in anything romantic. “Hm, I guess mine is someone who could leave me alone.”

“Liar.” Reo commented to Yo as he ate the katsudon with gusto. “What kind of ideal type is that?”

“Someone who’s perfect for me,” Yo responded. “What’s yours then, huh?”

Seishiro silently ate the bento while the two entertained the viewers. He tried not to glance at the screen where the live chats were shown, so he let Reo and Yo pick the question.

“Mine? Uh...” Reo trailed off, like he was contemplating his answer.

Live Chat:

>>> the giant white haired man beside him

>>> the big baby next to hiiiiiiiiim

>>> it’s seismik isn’t it

>>> just say you like seismik and go

>>> we won’t judge

>>> seire 🤍💜

>>> chat he doesn’t like seismik what are on about /j

>>> BACK OFF HE LIKES ME YALL

Seishiro was unaware of the commotion happening in the chat and kept his head down. Meanwhile, Reo nervously laughed next to him.

“Someone mature, I guess,” Reo said, and Yo almost choked on his food.

His boyfriend’s very mature then. Seishiro thought. Reo’s already mature on his own, to think that he also chose someone mature was something he wasn’t expecting. He was thinking along the lines of someone who was on his level. Considering his background, Reo probably wants someone just like him. 

He immediately shrugged off that thought. It was none of his business to think who Reo dates.

Yo drank some water before he spoke. “That’s so boring, Reo.”

“Yours is more boring than mine,” Reo argued back.

They bickered for a while, and Seishiro continued to eat. The food was surprisingly good. For someone who always had their meals prepared for him, Reo was unexpectedly good at making bentos. He thought that the karaage and tamagoyaki would be over seasoned, but they weren't. He also wanted to finish the food because Reo made it for him, but he was too tired. His arms were going to fall off from using it too much earlier just to cook.

He tried to hide his yawn with his hand lest the viewers think that he was getting bored. He was not, by the way, he was just getting sleepy. To think his energy was now all gone after cooking was laughable. But he does really want to finish Reo’s bento because it might make him sad if he didn’t finish it.

Seishiro doesn’t really want Reo to be sad.

“Someone feed me…” he mumbled exaggeratedly and Reo flinched beside him.

He must’ve heard me.

“What’s your ideal type, Nagi?” He heard Yo ask him.

Seishiro looked up for the first time since he started eating. He was met with Reo’s expecting eyes, and now it feels like he needs to answer the question.

“I never really thought about it…” he honestly answered.

“Why? Because relationships are a pain?” Yo asked again.

Seishiro nodded. “Yeah. No one will ever be interested in me anyway…”

“That’s not true!”

Seishiro almost flinched when Reo suddenly yelled. Reo realized what he had done and covered his mouth. 

“I mean—“ Reo fumbled for something to say while Yo tried to stifle his laugh. “Your friends are interested in you, aren’t they? So you shouldn’t be saying that.”

“You’re talking about romantic relationships, right?” Seishiro said. “Then none of my friends would be interested in me in that way.”

“Still...” Reo’s face turned red as a beet, then he avoided eye contact with him.

Seishiro took a quick glance at the live chat, and they were reacting like he knew they would. They’re that predictable. One interaction with someone who people ship you with would make any shipper go nuts.

Live Chat:

>>> reo don’t expose yourself like that

>>> reo’s a mess HAHAHAHHAHA

>>> seismik’s underestimating himself cuz he’s hot as fuck

>>> it’s okay reo, i’m like that in front of my crush too

>>> SEISMIK IM VERY INTERESTED IN YOU WDYM

>>> pls don’t embarrass yourself in front of your crush akdjajdh

Seishiro thought of something. It was fascinating how much influence his words have on his audience, and now he wanted to do something just to see how they would react.

It was fun in a way because no one would react the same way his audience does before he met his friends. He was always ignored after all so this was a first for him.

“But if I had one…” Seishiro started. The live chat immediately reacted. “I think I would like someone who can piggyback me.”

It was partially true, as Seishiro was a 190 cm man, no one could carry him in their backs. He saw it with Yoichi and Meguru, and he would always think about how nice it was to be carried once in a while, especially when he was too tired to walk. His friends wanted to give him a piggyback, but as he was bigger than any of them, they never once did it. They did try, but he was too heavy for them. Hyoma even told him that he should be the one doing the carrying because he was taller but Seishiro flatly refused. It was a pain to carry someone anyway.

“Oh, you like someone strong?” Yo asked.

“Maybe,” Seishiro muttered, and he drank his lemon tea. It was almost finished, and he kind of wanted a refill.

Yo hummed. “Why do I feel like I could carry you?”

Reo quickly protested. “You’re not going to carry Nagi. You’re just going to fall.”

“I’m a six-footer man, I think I can do it,” Yo said, standing up from his seat. “Come here, Nagi. I’ll try to carry you.”

There was no harm in trying, and he wanted to test if Yo was strong enough to carry him, so he shrugged and lazily went towards Yo, who was already preparing to give him a piggyback.

“Oh my god,” Reo said exasperatedly, but stood next to Yo to give him support. He whispered something about someone getting jealous but it went over Seishiro’s sleepy head as he got onto Yo’s back.

Yo stood up with a grunt. “Holy cow, Nagi, you’re heavy,” he said, and he successfully lifted Seishiro off the ground for a few seconds before putting him down. 

“I’m surprised you can…” Seishiro said. It was unfortunate that Yo had to let go of him immediately, but it was a nice try.

“I played sports before, so maybe that’s why,” Yo replied while rolling out his shoulders.

Seishiro went back to his seat and saw the chats rapidly going up on the screen. He thought that he should be mindful of his words, seeing how the viewers reacted.

I will think before I say anything from now on.

Live Chat:

>>> REO CARRY HIM TOO

>>> do it reo

>>> reo next reo next reo next

>>> seismik ask reo to carry you

>>> REOOOOOOOOO

>>> don’t be a pssy, reo do it too

>>> I WOULD DO ANYTHING JUST TO SEE REO CARRY NAGI

>>> is it just me or seismik looks sleepy

Seishiro yawned again with his head down. He was really getting sleepy and he just wants to lie down. He was about to ignore the chat to finish the food and ask Reo if he could maybe sleep on his couch after the stream, but Yo noticed the chat. “It seemed like they wanted Reo to do it too.”

“What?” Reo said. “Are we testing our strengths by carrying Nagi now?”

“Yes,” Yo replied. “Do you mind, Nagi?”

Seishiro shook his head. He dragged his sleepy body over to Reo who bit his lips in nervousness.

“Uh, I’ll try not to drop you,” Reo said before crouching down. 

Just like Seishiro did with Yo, he got on his back and wrapped his arms around Reo. Reo put his arms underneath Seishiro’s leg, then stood up.

He smells good.

That was the thing he noticed when Reo carried him. His back was also warm and his purple hair was ticklish on Seishiro’s face but he doesn’t mind. Seishiro’s brain was so filled with how good Reo smelled that he didn’t realize Reo was talking. “It seemed like I could carry you, Nagi.”

He hummed. “Hm…Reo limousine,” Seishiro commented, subconsciously burrying his head on Reo’s shoulders.

It’s comfy…

Reo chuckled. “Nagi, don’t fall asleep on me.”

He could hear Reo’s voice so close to his ears. It gave him goosebumps, and it was luring him to sleep. He already knew Reo has a nice voice but hearing it this close was something else. It made him feel things. Reo was also gently holding his legs but firm enough so he wouldn’t fall.

Seishiro has never been comfortable in his entire life. 

Reo and Yo were talking in the background, but it only sounded like white noise to him. Seishiro's eyes started to close, and he just let them be. He was full from the bento and lemon tea Reo prepared for him, his arms were finally taking a rest, and a part of his brain was telling him that it was time for him to relax. 

So, not even a minute later, Seishiro fell asleep.

at first i was worried that seismik wasn’t comfortable in the live because he barely talked but when he fell asleep on reo it made me think otherwise.

like sleeping is a vulnerable moment for someone esp in another person’s presence but the fact that seismik did it within a minute said a lot about how he was comfortable with reo

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro woke up feeling fuzzy. It was the greatest sleep he had ever had. He nuzzled his face on the pillow to get more sleep but stopped when he realized that the pillow smelled different from the laundry detergent he used to wash his pillowcase. 

He quickly sat down and noticed that he wasn’t in his room. The bed was too big, and the air conditioning in the room was cold but not enough for him to freeze up. He doesn’t even have an air conditioner in his room.

One look at the walls told him that he was in Reo’s room. There was a picture of Reo, along with Yo and their other friends, at a graduation. Just like in the living room, there were weird decorations in Reo’s bedroom. There was even a bookshelf filled with books from top to bottom.

And more importantly, the room was big. It was about the same size as Seishiro’s college dorm. 

“This wasn’t suited for human life,” he commented. 

Seishiro wanted to go back to sleep. Maybe nap a little longer, but he could hear screaming from the outside. 

Is there something wrong?

Curiosity got the best of him, and he got up from the bed. He wore his shoes, which were placed neatly beside the bed.

“Bye bye, comfy bed,” Seishiro said and went to the door. When he opened it, the screaming intensified.

It was Reo arguing with someone next to the dining table. He had jet black hair, and he was grinning from ear to ear while eating from a bento that was familiar to Seishiro. It was the bento Reo gave him earlier.

There were three other people. One with glasses who was sipping on a glass of water, there was someone with white hair and green highlights slumped on the back of the couch while looking at the two arguing, and another one with pink hair eating snacks with Yo on the couch.

“Put that down, Karasu!”

“No way~ It’s delicious. How could I not finish it?”

“Just because you’re jealous doesn’t mean you get to eat that, you jerk!” 

Jealous?

Seishiro stared at the two and had a realization when the guy put his arms around Reo who was fuming. 

Oh, so he’s Reo’s boyfriend.

“Karasu, I swear to God you—“ Reo’s mouth was suddenly covered by the guy’s hand. The guy, Karasu, then pointed at something—or rather, someone with his other hand. He was pointing at Seishiro.

Reo looked at where he was pointing, and his eyes widened when he saw Seishiro standing right outside his bedroom. “Nagi!” 

Seishiro watched as Reo elbowed the guy on the stomach to release him, yet Karasu didn’t let go, so Reo rolled his eyes before talking to him. “Nagi! I didn’t know you were awake already.”

Seishiro just stared at Reo and Karasu. Something inside him was tightening, and there was a lump in his throat. He clenched his fist as Reo continued to talk without noticing the turmoil happening inside Seishiro.

“The bento I gave you earlier still had food before you slept, right? But it was suddenly eaten by Karasu while you were sleeping. I tried to stop him—”

“It’s fine,” Seishiro interrupted him. He could feel Karasu looking at him with a grin on his face that was starting to infuriate him.

Annoying…

“I reheated it just in case you wanted to eat when you wake up, but it’s now gone,” Reo said. “Are you hungry? I could ask Baya—”

“Reo.” He interrupted him again. “I don’t need it. He can eat it all he wants. I don’t care.”

“I’ll just go home for now. Sorry for overstaying,” Seishiro added. He wanted to go home. He wanted to get out of here. 

Seishiro also wanted to apologize to Karasu for sleeping on his boyfriend’s back and bed but stopped himself and just bowed to Reo and Yo, who were watching him from the couch. “Thank you for inviting me. I’ll be going now,” he said hurriedly then made a beeline to the door.

“Nagi, wait!” He could hear Reo calling for him, but he ignored it and left the room. He went straight to the elevator and hurriedly pushed the button for the first floor. 

When the door closed, Seishiro let out a ragged breath. He touched his chest, which was painfully throbbing, and clicked his tongue.

Did I sleep on the wrong side of the bed?

Seishiro closed his eyes, but all he could see was Reo wrapped in Karasu’s arms. He gritted his teeth when he couldn’t get the image out of his head.

The door of the elevator opened, and he immediately walked out and went straight to the exit of the building. He got outside, and Seishiro felt like he could breathe again. He took deep breaths and calmed his raging heart.

Once he finally felt like his heart was beating like normal again, Seishiro left the place without looking back.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Reo couldn’t do anything but watch Seishiro’s back as he left the room. He felt like his heart broke when Seishiro completely dismissed him earlier. Anger suddenly bubbled inside him when he thought of who might have caused this.

“Look what you did!” He told Tabito, who finally let him go.

Tabito raised his hand in surrender. “I didn’t know he would be pissed just because I ate his food.”

“Was that really the reason?” Kenyu commented as he swirled the glass half empty with water.

"Well, if someone ate the food someone cooked for me, then I would be pissed too,” Eita added.

“True, true,” Ranze agreed while snacking on some chips.

Tabito shrugged. “Eh, that’s fine. What’s done is done,” he continued. “But you know, I wouldn’t eat Seismik’s food if you cooked for me!” He said while pointing at Reo.

“Why are you pointing at me!?” Reo yelled. “Go ask your boyfriend for food!”

“I texted both of you, and none of you responded!” Tabito yelled back. “Both of you were busy looking at Seismik’s sleeping face. I got jealous, you know.” 

Said boyfriend was just silently eating on the couch. “Stop being childish, you overgrown crow,” Yo scolded. “The fish I cooked tasted like shit. I would have shared it with you if it tasted even a little bit decent.”

“Still...” Tabito mumbled and went over the couch to place his head on Yo’s thigh while sitting on the floor. “And then you went and carried him which wasn’t pleasant to look at on stream.”

Reo would never not be shocked by how clingy Tabito was to Yo. It was a bigger surprise when they got together last year, but he could see that happening a while away with how close the two were. It was just that they hid their relationship for two months which wasn’t really nice of them. Though Tabito can be a little jerk and a prankster sometimes, he had a soft spot for Yo.

Eita faked a gag while he witnessed the two. “I already saw Reo being on cloud nine earlier on the stream while he ate the katsudon. I do not need you two flirting now.”

“Shut your single ass,” Tabito rebutted with his face on Yo’s thigh.

“Well, now that we have that sorted out,” Kenyu said, fixing his glasses. “What are you going to do now, Reo?”

“What do you mean?” Reo asked.

“Aren’t you two making progress? Isn’t that the point of the IRL stream anyway?” 

Reo looked down on his shoes. Kenyu was right. They did the IRL stream so he and Seishiro could get a little closer. The cooking for each other wasn’t planned, or so he thought. Yo could’ve done something that he didn’t know so they would pick each other’s names.

He wasn’t even expecting to give Seishiro a piggyback ride. It all happened because Seishiro made a comment about it, and Yo tried to carry him. He, of course, wasn’t also expecting Seishiro to fell asleep. His reaction was genuine when he realized Seishiro was sleeping while he carried him.

Reo sighed. “I don’t know. I thought we did, but that thing that happened,” he gestured to where Seishiro stood outside his room earlier. "It felt like we just went two steps backwards.”

“That’s rough,” Ranze muttered.

Reo couldn’t help but to laugh. “It is,” he said. “But I know what I’m getting myself into, so it’ll be fine.”

“Good luck with that,” Eita commented. “He looks like the type to be really, I mean really, hard to get. Not because he wanted to, but because he was, considering his personality and all that.”

“I know,” Reo replied. “I still want him anyway.”

His motto in life was “If I want it, I’ll get it,” so there was no way he wouldn’t be pursuing Seishiro just because of his personality, which people find weird. That was the reason he liked him anyway. 

“That’s the spirit.” Yo smiled. “Go get your man. I did not carry him for nothing.”

Reo chuckled while Tabito made a face and buried his face on Yo’s thigh. “Don’t remind me.”

That made everyone laugh, and Yo caressed Tabito’s head as a little reassurance that he didn’t mean any of it. Reo then wondered when would be the time where he could touch Seishiro that intimately while looking at the two.

It’ll happen eventually. I just need to be patient.

With that in mind, Reo sent Seishiro a quick text.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro has been staring at his phone for a good five minutes now, with his screen showing Reo’s text message earlier while he lay on his bed in his back.

He didn’t reply. He left him on read. And he had no intention of replying any time. 

For some reason, something has been bothering him since he came home. Seishiro thought he disregarded that weird feeling when he left Reo’s fifty-three-story building. 

He hated it. 

What did he hate? Everything. He hated feeling this way.

Seishiro felt like shit. It made him uncomfortable.

It was a new feeling that Seishiro doesn’t know what to call it.

And he couldn’t brush it off.

Seishiro groaned. He closed his phone and put his arms around his eyes. He thought of a way to get rid of whatever was happening to him. 

“I should probably just ignore it.”

It was the easiest way to do. He doesn’t want to do something that would just tire him out because he felt like shit.

His thinking went on for so long that it started annoying him. He wasn’t really the type to use his head anyway.

“Yeah, I’ll just ignore it. Easy peasy.” 

With that, Seishiro started ignoring the weird feeling inside him. 

He never thought that it would affect his relationship with Reo though.

Chapter Text

It was almost at the end of the semester so Seishiro got busy from schoolwork to even stream. His professors kept piling up works that were impossible for him to finish before the given deadline. He would have dropped out of college by now if not for his friends.

He made sure to notify his viewers about it so they wouldn’t question his sudden absence.

do well in your acads! 

Just because he wasn’t streaming doesn’t mean he was not playing games anymore. He would always try to squeeze in some time to play whenever he can. As much as he wanted to play much longer, he doesn’t have the luxury to do that right now.

It even has been a while since Seishiro played with Yo but they do keep in touch with a few quick exchanges. For Reo, well, he still hasn’t replied to him. 

For some reason, he doesn’t have the energy to reply; rather, he just doesn’t want to. Reo sent him messages after that but all of them went unread on his phone. His last text to him was asking if there was something wrong.

After that, Reo didn’t send him another message and somehow, Seishiro was okay with it. He would just reply once he got the energy to do so. 

Seishiro drowned himself in school work, albeit lazily, but he submitted all the things he needed to. He doesn’t know if he did the assignment or project right as long as he passed it to his professors. 

His friends made his schoolworks bearable by helping him if he needn’t help even though they were busy tending to their own works themselves.

Seishiro almost collapsed on the hallway after he finished his last class for the semester. It was a hellish last week but he managed to finish it. His phone then started chiming continuously when he left the building. 

Now that he had an appointed celebration, Seishiro thought that he should go home to change clothes and wait. Yoichi’s class would finish in three hours anyway. With that in mind, he started his walk towards the dorm. 

But as he left the campus, someone came running towards him. “Excuse me!” He was about to ignore it but a woman a few feet shorter than him stopped him by blocking his way. “You’re Seismik, right?”

Seishiro tensed. He had never heard his username from other people except his friends. “Uh, yeah…” He tiredly replied.

“By any chance, can I take a picture with you? I started watching you a month ago and I became a fan!” The woman blabbered on. “When I found out you and I were studying in the same university, I got excited but I waited for the semester to finish before approaching you.”

She continued. “I really really love you! I personally like your IRL stream with Yori and Reo because I’m a fan of both of them too! So yeah, can I take a picture with you and maybe get your autograph?”

Seishiro nodded. None of her words really registered to his already fried brain except the words fan, picture, autograph, and Reo. 

The woman then gave him a notebook and a pen which he signed with her name on it. Hyoma, bless him for doing God’s work yet again, made him an autograph when he started gaining viewers in case he met his ‘fans’ in real life. Seishiro doesn’t know if he deserves to call them his fans. He was really thankful for them but it felt awkward for him to call a group of people his fans.

Afterwards, the woman, Michiko, raised her phone to get a picture of them together. He posed with a peace sign and she took the picture. 

“Thank you so much!” Michiko squealed after taking their picture. “By the way, the fandom has been discussing this for a while, but what’s our fandom name?” She suddenly asked.

“What?”

“You know, what do you want to call us? We’ve been nameless for months!”

“Uh…” That got Seishiro thinking. He didn’t know there was a discourse about his fandom’s name. “You can choose the name yourself since it’s your name after all.“

Michiko was just staring at him before she exclaimed. “Okay! I’ll tell anyone!” She then bowed. “Thank you for giving me your time after your class! I’ll be going then.”

Seishiro awkwardly bowed back before Michiko walked in the opposite direction of the student dorms. 

After she was gone, Seishiro stood there in the pavement for a while before shaking his head and continued his trek home.

Well, that was something.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Seishiro saw his photo with the woman earlier got viral an hour after it was posted. The reactions were pretty mixed; some were jealous of the girl, while some were not happy with her approaching him while he was in university.

As for him, he doesn’t have a problem with it as it happened after class. She didn’t do anything to make him uncomfortable anyway like stalk him all the way to the dorms or touch him. That was his first encounter with a fan in real life so he was pretty happy.

Meguru and Hyoma, who was also waiting for Yoichi to finish class, saw the post and teased him about it.

The topic about his picture with a fan ended there. They continued chatting until Yoichi replied to their group chat.

I don’t get it.

Was Seishiro’s thought when he read their messages. Feeling left out because he couldn’t understand their conversation, Seishiro played a quick game to pass on the time while waiting for Yoichi. He was in the middle of his game when he remembered that he was supposed to text Yo about their next scheduled game.

He quickly finished the game and sent Yo a short message.

Yo read his text immediately and replied.

Seishiro doesn’t know what came to him when he invited Yo to their little celebration. He knew his friends wouldn’t mind because they were fans of Yo but he also knew he needed to give them a heads up.

So, when they met up to go find a good yakiniku place, Seishiro told them that Yo and his friends would be coming to eat with them.

Their reaction was what he expected; Meguru screamed, Hyoma kept asking if he looked presentable, and Yoichi was on the verge of passing out. 

Seishiro found it funny and thought that meeting Yo might be his little gift for their little celebration.

Once they found a place, which was just their usual, Seishiro texted Yo their location and he got a confirmation that they will be coming as soon as they can.

“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I’m meeting Yori!” Meguru exclaimed as soon as they sat down on their table.

They picked a table that was hopefully big enough for all of them to fit. Seishiro still doesn’t know how many of Yo’s friends will come so he just told the others to pick the biggest table they could find. There was a ten seater seat and he hoped that it was enough.

They scanned the menu and chattered about their classes while waiting for the others to arrive. Meguru was in the middle of his rant about a blockmate of his when he suddenly gasped to stare at something when Seishiro heard his name.

“Nagi!”

Seishiro quickly turned around to see Yo with his friends behind him.

“I’m sorry it took a while. Did you wait long?” Yo said when Seishiro stood up to greet them.

“No, it’s okay.” He replied then gestured to his friends. “Uhm, this is my friends. Isagi, Bachira, and Chigiri.”

Yo turned to look at them. “Hello, it’s nice to meet you. I’ve watched you in Nagi’s stream before.” He greeted as he shook each of their hands.

“Hello, Yori-san. I’m a big fan!” Yoichi said.

“Just call me Hiori.” Yo smiled and Yoichi almost fainted.

The guy with green highlights swiftly, like a ninja, came to Hyoma’s side to shake hands with him. “I’m Otoya Eita. It’s nice to meet you, Chigiri.”

Hyoma blinked a few times. “Ah yes, hi. Chigiri Hyoma. Male.”

Meguru almost bursted out in laughter at Hyoma’s introduction. Seishiro wouldn’t blame Hyoma as most people often mistook him for a woman just because of his hair. They called him a princess though because of his attitude sometimes which Hyoma doesn’t really mind.

“I know. You’re just really pretty.” Eita replied. “Has anyone ever told you that?”

“Quite a lot, but thank you.” Hyoma gave him the most civil smile he could muster. 

Yo and his friends took their seats so they could start ordering food. Seishiro then thought that they had an extra seat as no one sat on his right side. Well, not until the chair was pulled back and Seishiro smelled the familiar perfume that lured him to sleep.

He glanced at his side and saw Reo took a seat with Yo on his other side and then Karasu. Eita, the man wearing glasses, and the pink haired man sat on the opposite side of them with Hyoma and Meguru while Yoichi sat on Seishiro’s left side.

Some of them were pretty hungry already, like Meguru, so they just ordered everything. Seishiro was worried that they wouldn’t be able to finish it but the menu wasn’t that big and there were probably a few big eaters among them. He was also just worried about the bill that they will be paying once they finish eating.

The meat they ordered arrived quickly and they cooked the meat immediately so they could start eating. 

Meguru, like the social butterfly that he was, and Eita started a conversation with Kenyu, the man with the glasses, and Karasu adding in some comments once in a while. 

Seishiro was glad that his friends and Yo’s friends were getting along just fine. He thought there would be some awkwardness but it seemed like he was worried for nothing. 

Yoichi placed cooked meat on his plate which Seishiro immediately put on his mouth. That was when he realized that he actually was starving. 

It’s yummy…

As time went on, Seishiro relaxed in his seat and ate the meat Yoichi cooked for him. Eating was a pain to him, but he doesn’t mind eating like this from time to time. 

He thought that this comfortable atmosphere would continue until the end but oh was he utterly wrong.

It was no thanks to the purple haired guy silently sitting next to him.

Chapter Text

Reo was suspicious when Yo randomly invited them to a yakiniku on a Saturday afternoon. They have nothing planned for today and he knew Yo was planning to stream the entire night so he was confused with the sudden invitation.

The others didn’t feel the same way about him as they immediately agreed to Yo. 

Reo used his limousine to fetch his friends and his suspicion deepened when Yo told Baya to drive somewhere further than their usual yakiniku place. Yo even gave Baya a full address and was on his phone the whole way. 

Tabito, someone who was more observant than him, got suspicious of his boyfriend’s antics so he peeked through Yo’s phone over his shoulders. At first there was confusion on Tabito’s face but he whispered something to Yo which the latter just nodded to with a smirk. Tabito then grinned and sat back, seemingly delighted with what he discovered.

That was all Reo needed to know that Yo was onto something.

When they arrived at the restaurant, a forbidding sensation came to Reo. Something was telling him to run, to turn back and to not enter the diner.

Reo regretted not following his gut when he saw the person who was causing him distress for the past few days.

Fuck, he’s here…

Seishiro turned around the moment Yo called him. He still looked the same as always, his hair was sticking out in every direction possible, his eyes were droopy, and he still had that face that Reo would never get tired of seeing.

Reo hid behind Kenyu, who was a few inches shorter than him, when Seishiro stood up to greet them. Ranze saw what he did and looked at him with worry in his eyes.

They started sitting down and Reo almost fling Yo to the seat beside Seishiro as he purposely left the seat unoccupied. He tried to keep his cool as he sat down quietly next to Seishiro.

Reo tensed up when he felt Seishiro’s eyes on him. His shoulders depleted when Seishiro said nothing and looked back on the menu.

The yakiniku was great, but Reo doesn’t have much of an appetite to eat. He stopped eating by the time he finished a plate of meat but Kenyu and Yo kept filling food on his plate and eyeing him like they were telling him to eat.

Reo stole a glance at Seishiro who was silently listening to his friends chatter while he eats. He was chewing on his food rather slowly and from his posture alone, Reo deduced that Seishiro was trying not to fall asleep but he was trying to actively listen to the people around him.

As he observed Seishiro, Reo realized that he wanted to talk to him. It has been weeks since they last talked, and it didn’t even end on a good note. Seishiro just stopped communicating after he left his house that day. He was extremely hurt when he found out Seishiro always replied to Yo’s text no matter when it was.

They tried to experiment after Seishiro posted on Twitter that he wouldn’t stream for a while. Both he and Yo sent Seishiro a text but only Yo received a response. 

Reo almost cried that day. Well, he did, but just after his friends left to go home.

He didn’t know what happened. He didn’t know what he did for Seishiro to suddenly stop talking to him like that.

He thought they were making progress. Seishiro even fell asleep on his back which indicated that he was comfortable enough to sleep around him. He remembered Seishiro looking peaceful as he slept on his bed after the stream. Reo may or may not have taken a few pictures back then.

Still, Reo wanted to talk to him. But how could he when Seishiro wouldn’t even acknowledge his presence?

It took an hour but they managed to finish the entire menu. Seishiro then offered to pay for the meal. He didn’t listen to Yo who was trying to split the bill with him and went to the counter with Yo hot on his heels.

“I’m surprised you didn’t join them in splitting the bills,” Tabito told him when they started leaving the restaurant. 

“Hiori said it was his treat tonight,” Reo simply replied. “I don’t mind being treated once in a while.”

Tabito grinned and pulled him over to the side once they were outside while waiting for the two. “Anyway, are you not going to talk to him?” He whispered, playfulness gone in his tone.

“Talk to who?” Reo pretended that he didn’t know what he was talking about.

“You know, that giant white haired baby of yours.”

Reo clenched his jaw. “He’s not mine.”

“Yet,” Tabito added. “Unless you talk to him, that is.”

“Did you see what he did earlier?” Reo muttered, trying not to raise his voice as Seishiro’s three friends were just a few feet away. “He won’t look at me. He didn’t greet me when I sat next to him. He didn’t even acknowledge me.”

He was on the verge of crying again. “How am I supposed to talk to someone who treats me like I’m some sort of ghost?”

Tabito blocked the view of the restaurant and their friends so that they wouldn’t see Reo wiping the tears that dared spilled out of his eyes. “If he won’t acknowledge you, then make him. I’ll try to make an opportunity for you both to talk tonight. This thing could easily be solved if both of you just communicate.”

He wrapped his arms around Reo and put his head on his shoulders to hide him when he heard Meguru’s voice become louder. “And if you can, and I’m serious when I say just do it if you can, then confess to him. It probably wouldn’t make sense to him why you were acting like this so just tell him. If he still doesn’t get it then he’s just an idiot.”

Tabito whispered right next to his ears so others wouldn’t hear it. “It’s better for you to forget about him if things don't work out tonight. Yo is willing to cut him off for you. It will probably be suspicious for the fans, but it’s for the better. Yo wouldn’t like to continue playing with someone who breaks his friend’s heart, you know? So tell him tonight, this is your only chance. You can’t prolong this shit for too long.”

Reo just weakly nodded. He was confident with his communication skills, but talking to someone like Seishiro was a difficult task even for him.

“There you are.”

Tabito pulled away from him and greeted the newcomer. “Hey, did you two split up the bill?” He said casually like nothing happened.

Yo only sighed. “No. Nagi was blocking the counter with his body so I couldn’t give my card. He ended up paying for everything.”

“Thanks for that, Nagi. We appreciated the treat.” Tabito expressed his gratitude. There was a hint of disdain that Reo almost missed as he tried to make himself presentable.

Reo took a deep breath before lifting his head up. He almost took a step back when he saw Seishiro glaring, but it wasn’t directed to him. It was for Tabito.

It looks could kill, Tabito would be six feet under the ground right here, right now. If felt as if there was like a creepy skull behind Seishiro looking down at Tabito with so much emotion that Reo couldn’t put a finger on.

He never saw Seishiro look that way before. Not even when he died in a game right before it was over. He was always look so passive that Reo never thought he would see Seishiro looking all aggressive to someone.

It was gone as soon as it went when Ranze stated that he was craving something sweet out loud. Seishiro’s face went back to the same passiveness as before when Meguru quickly agreed to him and invited everyone to get some ice cream at the nearest convenience store. 

Meguru pulled Seishiro by the arm so they could lead the way to the convenience store with Yoichi and Hyoma as they knew the area better than them. The rest followed behind them except for one.

“Hey crow, come on.” Yo called Tabito who was frozen at his spot.

Tabito was mumbling something but it was too quiet for them to hear. His face was crunched up, his eyes calculating as he stared at Reo.

“Tabito,” Yo called him by his first name. “Baby, babe, darling, honey, love, overgrown crow, insert another endearment you want me to call you, come on now.”

Tabito snapped out his reverie and grinned as he approached them. “You should call me that often.”

“Which one? Overgrown crow?” Yo joked and followed the four who were already far away. 

“No, my name. I like it.” Tabito said and turned to him. “By the way, Reo. I made an interesting theory just now, but I feel like I’m missing something important for all of it to make sense.”

“And that is?” Reo asked.

Tabito opened his mouth and what he heard shook his world to the core.

“I think Nagi’s jealous of me.”

What the fuck?

Chapter Text

“Ice cream~ ice cream~” Meguru singsongs as they were nearing the convenience store. “What are you getting?”

“Anything’s fine.” Yoichi answered and looked back at the others. “Why are they so far behind? I thought they were right behind us.”

“Who knows? Let them be, they’re going to come here anyway.” Hyoma replied. 

Once they reached the convenience store, Meguru didn’t waste any time and went inside immediately. 

“What do you want, Nagi?” Yoichi asked when Seishiro sat on a chair outside the store instead of going in.

“I’m good…”

“Okay. Just tell Hiori we're inside.” Yoichi added.

Seishiro hummed, then Yoichi entered the store with Hyoma. He took out his phone to check his socials while waiting for them. Minutes later, Yo and the others arrived.

Without raising his head from his phone, Seishiro spoke to them. “They’re inside.”

“You’re not coming in, Nagi?” He heard him ask.

“No, I’m not buying.” Seishiro answered while scrolling through his phone.

“All right.” Yo said and the bell on the door chimed as they went inside. 

Seishiro thought he was alone outside but then he heard the voice of a person who never spoke to him all night.

“Nagi, can we talk?”

He slowly raised his head and his eyes met Reo’s. He wasn’t wearing his usual smile. There was a different air to him than the last time they saw each other.

“…why?” 

He saw Reo clenched his fist. “Do I need a reason to talk to you?”

“Well, no…” Seishiro mumbled. “But, sure.”

Reo nodded but more so for himself. “Okay. Let’s go somewhere else then.”

Why?

Seishiro pocketed his phone as he stood up from the chair and let Reo lead the way. He was certain that Reo hadn't been in the area before because Kenyu said earlier at the restaurant that this was their first time going here. So he knew Reo didn’t know the way around.

“Do you even know where we’re going?” He asked as he caught up to him.

Why is he in a rush?

“No. I just wanted to be away from them.” Reo curtly replied.

Seishiro sighed and stopped walking. He scratched his head to think of a place where they can talk privately. Reo wanted to be away from their friends, which meant that their conversation shouldn’t be heard by anyone. It was also probably going to take a while considering how serious Reo looked.

Reo was already a few feet away from him so he ran up to him and grabbed his wrist. Reo jolted in surprise and turned to him with wide eyes. 

“I—“ Seishiro suddenly paused as he stared at his eyes. “…come with me.” He didn’t let him respond and pulled him along towards their destination.

It was a long walk, but he knew that it was the perfect place for them to talk. Reo was silent the whole way. He never spoke a word and just walked beside him. 

This was the longest time he spent alone with Reo.

He doesn’t know what to feel about it. There was something different to Reo ever since he saw him getting hugged by Karasu outside the restaurant earlier.

Seishiro wasn’t expecting to see them alone in the corner together either.

That weird feeling from last time suddenly came back in full force. He tried not to show how uncomfortable that weird feeling was, but he knew he didn’t do a good job hiding it as he noticed Karasu staring at him. 

He regretted not getting that ice cream because if he did, he wouldn’t have to be walking with Reo right now. He wouldn’t have been feeling way worse because holy shit, Reo was alone with him right now and his boyfriend’s probably looking for him.

They walked past a place Seishiro had seen for the past two years, and that was when he heard Reo talk for the past fifteen minutes.

“Wait…isn’t this your university?”

Seishiro refused to cast an eye at the campus where he would be spending two more years of his life. “Yeah, the yakiniku restaurant was the closest go-to place of ours whenever we eat out.” 

“What are we doing here, Nagi? I thought you were bringing me somewhere where we could talk.”

“I am,” Seishiro stopped in his tracks when they were finally in front of a familiar building and glanced at Reo. “I’m bringing you home.”

Reo’s jaw dropped to the floor after hearing what he said. He looked back and forth at the building in front of Seishiro. “Why did you bring me here?” He asked, confusion evident on his face. 

Seishiro shrugged. “You said you wanted to talk. And I assumed it was private so I brought you here so we can have privacy.”

Reo put a hand on his face and sighed. “…fine. Just…lead the way.”

Seishiro shrugged again and pulled him along. He briefly stopped when he realized that he was holding on to Reo’s wrist the whole time. He quickly released his wrist and continued on his way.

I didn’t mean to do that.

They arrived at his dorm room which he immediately opened with the keys and opened the door for Reo to enter. 

Reo eyed the room as he took his shoes off. “So this is your place, Nagi.” He commented with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Is he finally back to normal?

“Yep, come on in.” He said and did the same.

“What is this a prison cell?”

“It’s my home…”

“Isn’t it a bit sparse?” Reo said as he walked in the living room. “It’s like a spaceship.”

“Like I said, it's my home.”

It was a small space for a college student like Seishiro to live in. He was surprised when he saw a living room because he knew it wouldn’t be used as much as he was always on his bed. But then he met Yoichi, Meguru, and Hyoma, so his unused living room finally served its purpose.

Reo sat down on the couch and didn’t wander around further in his place. Seishiro took that as a sign that it was time for them to talk. He sat down and left a space between them.

No one spoke for the next few minutes. The atmosphere changed from the almost playful exchange earlier when they entered his dorm. 

“Well, we’re in a private space, so I’ll just let it all out.” He saw Reo shifting to face him on his seat from his peripheral. “First off, why didn’t you reply to me?”

Ah, it’s about that.

Seishiro stifled a sigh. He didn’t know if this was even a topic for them to discuss. “I just don’t feel like it…”

“But you were responding to every single text that Hiori sent you.”

How did he know that? “He was someone I play with on the regular.“ He answered without looking at him.

“And I’m not?” Reo asked.

Seishiro knew he messed up already by giving that lame excuse. “I don’t know, it’s easier to reply to him than you…”

“What’s so hard about replying to my text when I asked you if you got home safe after you suddenly left my house?”

“I don’t know…” Seishiro muttered. “Didn’t feel like it.”

He could hear Reo taking a deep breath. Seishiro knew Reo was trying to be patient with him. “Nagi, we won’t go anywhere if you keep answering that way.”

“But I didn’t really feel like it.” Seishiro said. He was already tired of this. “Why does it even matter?”

“Because I care for you, Nagi.” Reo answered almost immediately.

Seishiro’s eyes widened. That wasn’t the answer he was expecting. He thought that it probably had something to do with his ego, but he was wrong.

“Why?” He asked and put a hand on his neck. He still wasn’t looking at him. “I’m just a streamer you randomly saw one day.”

“Do you really not know?”

That made him face Reo. “What do you mean?”

“I thought you were ignoring it because I’ve always been obvious about it.” Reo surely replied.

Obvious about what? Was there something Reo has been doing these past few months that Seishiro failed to notice?

“I don’t get it…” Seishiro said honestly. He doesn’t know what Reo was on about.

Reo softened his eyes. “Nagi, it’s all over the internet.”

“What is?” 

The internet was a huge space for him to narrow it down to one. He couldn’t possibly know about it because he would only monitor Twitter—

Oh.

That was when it hit him. There was always one thing that would be associated with Reo whenever they did something. 

“…is it that ship thing?” He asked carefully. It was a topic he never knew would be brought up. “That ‘Seire’ thing that everyone couldn’t stop talking about.”

Reo offered him a small smile as a response.

I was right, but…

He looked away from Reo. “Do you care about me because people are shipping us together?” Seishiro asked again. If so, that would be messed up. “It was inevitable because we’re known to the internet, but you could’ve just ignored them. They probably didn’t mean it...”

“I know, but how could I when we’re always trending?”

“I don’t know, don’t look at the trends?” He lamely suggested. “I stopped looking at them when I found out what it meant…”

“Why would I stop looking at posts where people are obviously rooting for the both of us?” Reo retorted.

Seishiro heard the slightest smile in his voice which perplexed him. “Why are you even still looking at them? Does it not make you uncomfortable?”

“No, because I know where they're coming from.”

What the f…

“Reo, that’s not something you should be saying when you have—“ Seishiro looked back at him again but he stopped when Reo was full on smiling now.

What? 

“Do you really not get it?” Reo asked the question again. His voice softened when he said, “People were shipping us because of me.”

Seishiro felt like his head was going to explode. He put a hand on his head and groaned. He was probably getting dumber as he couldn’t comprehend whatever Reo was saying at all.

This is why thinking’s a pain…

“Nagi…” Reo softly called his name.

Seishiro hummed, not taking off his hand over his head.

“I like you.”

“Oka—“ He paused and his neck almost broke in half with how fast he looked up at Reo. “What?”

Reo chuckled, probably because he looked stupid right now. “I like you, Nagi.” He repeated. “Romantically.”

All previous thought Seishiro had disappeared in an instant. He couldn’t believe his ears. Reo dropped a bombshell out of nowhere. His hands started shaking for reasons he doesn’t know. There was no way Reo was serious. He was clearly messing with him.

But the way Reo was smiling at him was filled with sincerity. It was so genuine that Seishiro almost believed him.

Except there was a problem…

“You can’t,” Seishiro ignored the tingly feeling in his gut. “You’re with Karasu…” He said with conviction. No matter what Reo feels about him was wrong, especially knowing that he was already dating his friend.

“Why would you think that?” Reo patiently asked him. 

“You said it yourself...” Seishiro replied. He remembered what he said to him over text like the back of his hand. “You said you would tell the world about him. And the way you phrased it…it was obvious that you were pertaining to someone. Then I saw you with him when I left your room and earlier when I paid for the meal. That’s how I kind of figured it out…” 

From what he had seen so far, no one among their friend group was close to Reo like how close Karasu was to him. They weren’t particularly hiding it too as they openly showcased their clinginess to one another.

“Is that why you suddenly left when you woke up? Because you saw me with Karasu?” 

Seishiro almost sighed. There was no point in hiding it now. “Yeah. I suddenly got this weird feeling and I wanted to get rid of it so I left.”

“What is this weird feeling?” Reo coaxed an answer out of him. “Did you also feel it earlier when you saw me and Karasu earlier?”

Seishiro’s getting tired with all the questioning, but Reo was asking nicely so he guessed he would just suck it up. “Yeah…”

Reo hummed. He placed his elbow on the backrest of the coach and put his chin on his palm. “Nagi, I’m going to ask you something and I want you to be very honest with me.”

He simply nodded. Seishiro was being honest with him from the very beginning anyway.

Reo looked him directly in his eyes when he asked, “Are you jealous of Karasu?”

Seishiro was suddenly dumbfounded. “I am what now?”

“I’m asking if you’re jealous of Karasu.” Reo repeated. “It’s the only explanation why you were feeling weird when you saw me with him. And besides, it wasn’t me who figured it out. It was Karasu himself.”

“You were glaring at him pretty hard earlier that it made him theorize that you were probably jealous of him. But he said it doesn’t make sense to why would you think that so I kept asking you questions to get the answer.” Reo added. “When you mentioned that you thought we were together, it kinda makes sense now.”

The smile that Seishiro usually saw on Reo was back again. “So, are you jealous of Karasu, Nagi?”

“No?” Seishiro quickly answered. “Why would I be?”

“I don’t know, you tell me.” Reo was grinning now, like he was teasing him. “Are you?”

Seishiro squinted his eyes. They were suddenly off topic now, and they haven’t discussed that bomb Reo dropped a few minutes ago. “Never mind that. But you can’t like me, Reo.”

“Yes, I can.” Reo confidently replied. 

“But Karasu—“

“Is with Hiori.” Reo interrupted him. “They’ve been dating for a year now.”

That was the second time Reo dropped a bomb like it was nothing. His mind had gone haywire. Seishiro was having a hard time keeping up. He wished Reo would slow down with all these revelations.

“So…” He slowly asked, making sure that he heard it right. “…you’re not with Karasu?”

“No.” Reo suddenly looked horrified. “I would never date him.”

Seishiro looked at him with his mouth agape. “Oh.”

“Yes, oh.” Reo said, copying him. He threw his hands out in the air like he just gave up on something. “You know what? I’m not even going to ask again if you’re jealous of Karasu, because I already knew the answer to that.”

What answer? Seishiro knew he had denied that one.

“Besides,” Reo continued before standing up. “I want you to figure out why you were jealous of him.”

“I told you, I’m not—” Reo shut him down with a finger on his lips while standing right in front of him.

Reo then bent over so they could be at eye level, making Seishiro lean back on the couch. “Okay, let’s just say you’re not.” He said but Seishiro was sure that he didn’t mean it. “Yet it seems like you’re still having a hard time learning your own emotions, so I recommend you still do it. Know that I’ll gladly wait for you, but don’t expect me to just sit back and relax while you figure yourself out.” 

Reo grinned, his eyes twinkling. “I’m gonna make you fall for me, Nagi.” Reo lowered his voice, sending goosebumps all over Seishiro. “If you still haven’t, that is.” He winked and leaned back. 

Seeing Seishiro’s face made Reo giggle as he approached the door. “I’m leaving for tonight. Thank you for talking to me.” He wore his shoes and waved his hands. “Bye, Nagi. Good night~” 

The door of his dorm room has been closed for a while and yet Seishiro was still frozen on the coach. When it finally sinked in, Seishiro curled on himself, hiding his face from the world.

“Fuck…”

Seishiro gritted his teeth. His heart was pounding so loud that Reo probably heard it earlier. His hands were getting clammy, and his fan probably wasn’t working properly as he was feeling hot all over. 

One wink from Reo and Seishiro knew he was in trouble. How could he do that to him? That was cruel of Reo. It was unfair how he lost his reasons just from a wink. 

But…it did something to him.

Because why was Seishiro…

…suddenly looking forward to it?

Chapter Text

The next morning, Seishiro woke up with bags under his eyes. He didn’t get a good night's sleep and spent the whole night recalling what happened in his living room. 

For starters, Reo and Tabito were not dating each other. It was a misunderstanding on his part. Next, Tabito and Yo were the ones actually dating each other. He wasn’t expecting that. Third, for some reason, Tabito convinced Reo that Seishiro was jealous of him. He doesn’t know how they got into that conclusion. 

Fourth, Reo, oh my fucking god, liked him. Romantically at that. Why? Seishiro didn’t get to ask. Then, Reo wanted him to figure out his own emotions. He doesn’t know what for. And lastly, Reo wouldn’t sit back doing nothing and told him that he was going to make Seishiro fall for him. If that wasn’t flirting, then he doesn’t know what was.

Seishiro used up all his emotional intelligence to gather up his thoughts last night. His mind was a frenzy, his feelings were in chaos, and he was emotionally tired. 

In short, Seishiro was a mess.

His friends weren’t much help to him.

They had the audacity to not look for him last night. If one of them texted him, Seishiro could’ve had an excuse to take a break from the turmoil that Reo caused him last night. 

He was also at fault too for not telling them he would be taking Reo home last night.

His friends only texted him this morning with a simple, “Tell us you're alive”, with him replying with an “I am”, and that was it. 

Seishiro sighed. He tossed his phone on his bed and started his day. He was going to stream the whole day after all.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

“Hello,” Seishiro greeted his viewers. It has been a while since he streamed so his chat was pretty excited to see him today.

Live Chat:

>>> owemji seismiiiiiiiik

Seishiro’s eyes widened when he saw a particular chat. “Fandom name? What did you guys choose?”

The live chat was then spammed with a name.

Live Chat:

>>> SEISLOTHS

>>> it’s seisloths!

>>> seismik’s seisloths 🫶🫶

>>> FANDOM HUG WE ARE NOT NAMELESS ANYMORE 😭🤍

>>> hope you like our name seismik!!

“Seisloths,” Seishiro muttered. It was a name that rolled off his tongue easily so he could see himself saying that a lot in the future. “Hi, Seisloths, let’s stay together ’till the end.”

Live Chat:

>>> YES OF COURSE 😭😭

>>> why am i blushing like he just said my government name 😳

Ping! 

The familiar chime of the donation echoed through his headset. He glanced at him and almost failed to control his facial expression when he saw it was from Reo.

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

That’s a promise, Nagi! Don’t forget I’m part of Seisloths too!

“Reo…” Seishiro said. “You could have just texted that you know.”

Ping!

reo_mkg donated ¥30,000!

This is a fun way to communicate with you though.

He sighed. Seishiro was already thinking of giving back the money Reo donated him in his mind. He opened the call and invited Reo so he could stop talking to him via the donation message. 

“Hello~” Reo cheerily greeted. “And hello, Seisloths. Congratulations to us for not being nameless anymore!”

Live Chat:

>>> ITS REO 💜

>>> reo luckiest seisloth because he could get to talk and meet seismik

>>> seisloth. more like reo’s seisl*t iykyk

“Oh, you guys, wanna hear something?” Reo suddenly excitedly said, like a kid opening up present during Christmas. “I just heard Nagi talk a lot last night!”

“That’s because you kept asking me lots of questions…” He muttered.

“If I don’t ask you those questions, I’m not gonna get the answer to my question!”

Seishiro sighed. Reo has a lot of energy today and he felt like he couldn’t keep up with him. “You could have just asked one, instead of asking me multiple questions.”

“I had to, or else you wouldn’t be able to answer me properly.” Reo replied. 

Seishiro scratched his cheeks. There may be some truth to it, but he was also sure that he could have answered him properly with one question. Sort of.

But with the way the question would confuse Seishiro, it would honestly take him more than one. He didn’t even get to defend his answer to Reo about him being jealous of Tabito last night because Reo was so sure that he knew the answer. But seriously, he already denied that one, so why does it feel like Reo knew a different answer?

He glanced at the live chat and as expected, they were feeling lost due to their conversation. 

Live Chat:

>>> umm wuuuut

>>> wdym 😭😭

“Stay curious, Seisloths,” Reo teased the viewers. “But, I’ll tell you this. His house wasn’t fit for human life, it’s too small~”

Seishiro frowned. “I’m a human, and I live here though.” He said. “You didn’t even look around the whole house. You just sat in the living room.”

“Give me a proper house tour next time then.”

Live Chat:

>>> wait wait WAIT WHAT

Seishiro didn’t reply to Reo and ignored the chat. He didn’t need to answer any of their inquiries because he might end up saying something he shouldn’t. He learned during the IRL stream that whatever he said would make an impact on people so he was trying to choose his words carefully. 

An alert from his computer caught his attention. It seemed like someone joined their call.

“Hello, am I interrupting you two lovebirds?” Yo’s soft voice came through his headphones. 

Yo joining them was something he expected. A few hours after Reo left, Seishiro texted Yo if they could play today as it has been a while. Yo, who was surprisingly awake, immediately replied with an enthusiastic “Okay! See you tomorrow!”. 

“Nah, you’re good.” Reo replied to him.

Again, Seishiro ignored whatever Yo called him and Reo and just invited him to play. “Let’s play, Hiori…”

Live Chat:

“Sure, Nagi.” Yo eagerly agreed to him. “I wanted something light today. Fall guys?”

“Okay.” 

They played Fall Guys for quite some time. Reo and Yo easily passed through the rounds while Seishiro kept lagging behind.

“Nagi, what are you doing?” Reo teased when he failed to get through the second round.

“My best…” Seishiro muttered and Reo laughed in response.

When they started a new round, Reo was seen blocking players from entering the finish line. 

“What are you doing?” It was Yo’s time to ask this time. He already advanced to the next round so he was merely observing the ongoing game.

Reo pushed a player that ended up falling off from the platform. “Waiting for Nagi. We’ll get through this together!”

Seishiro was on the last obstacle course. He could see the finish line. Reo was still fighting off the players as much as he could without crossing the finish line himself.

He was almost there, he was so close. He just needed to jump so he could get on the last platform…

Well, not until he heard Reo.

“Let’s go, my treasure!” 

Seishiro almost choked on his own saliva and misclicked his mouse that he ended up getting knocked out by an obstacle. He heard Yo bursting out in laughter while Reo screamed his ears off.

“What the fuck, Nagi!?” 

Seishiro groaned. It wasn’t his fault. He was surprised. Reo should be the one at fault for distracting him.

Reo whined when there were only five players left needed for the next round so he left Seishiro who fell off the obstacle on his own and crossed the finish line.

“Enjoy spectating us for the nth time, Nagi.” Yo commented while they played. 

A player named ‘TealOwl’ swiftly won that round. Seishiro tried to watch him play to get ideas for his own game play but he went back to spectate Reo who was just right behind ‘TealOwl’.

“I almost won!” Reo cried out when the ‘TealOwl’s character was shown on screen for winning the round.

“That was cool, Reo.” Seishiro affirmed him. “You did a good job.”

Reo stopped lashing out at ‘TealOwl’s character to respond to him. “You think so?”

Seishiro hummed with a nod.

“Well, if you say so, then I guess I don’t mind being the second place.” Reo said. “Just don’t let me be the second option for your leading man.”

“My what?” Seishiro confusingly asked.

“Dang, Reo. What the hell did you talk about last night?” Yo suddenly asked, shock evident in his voice. 

“Something that shouldn’t concern you.”

“Wow.” Yo replied sarcastically. “I was the one who introduced you to Nagi, and this is how you repay me? By not telling me the details? Ungrateful shit.”

Seishiro raised an eyebrow to that. Introduced to him? What does he mean by that? Wasn't Reo the one who approached him first by donating before? 

“Says the person who hid ‘that’ from us, your circle of friends, for two months.” Reo said, emphasizing his words. 

Seishiro could only think of one thing Yo could hide from his friends.

His relationship with Tabito.

Live Chat:

>>> i’m so fucking lost 💀

>>> what are they talking about akdjsjdha

>>> SPILL THE TEAAAAAAA

>>> don’t be shy, share it to us

>>> are we just ignoring reo highkey flirting with seismik earlier? 😭😭

“Oh, come on. You already knew the reason why we did that.” Yo sighed. “Anyway, we're getting off topic now. Should we play another round or change games?”

“Another one.” Reo immediately answered. “We’re not getting off this game until Nagi reaches the last round.”

“I’m not really good at this game…” Seishiro started to feel a little sorry for his incompetence. 

“It’s okay, I’m here.” Reo assured him. “I’m going to do everything so we can be together, Nagi.”

Seishiro froze. Those words have an underlying meaning to it, and he was sure that Reo did it on purpose. 

He tried not to show any reaction to what he said and ignored it like usual, but his viewers wouldn’t let him brush it off this time.

Live Chat:

>>> 😨😨😨

>>> holy fuck

>>> IM HEARTS GOING TO BURST

>>> reo oh my god my little gay boy 

>>> SEISMIK SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING 

>>> DONT FUCKING JOKE AROUND LIKE THAT

>>> yall seire is real 😭😭

>>> chat he was just talking about the game…right?

>>> SEISMIK FIGHT BACK!?!?!?

Fight back? What was that even supposed to mean? Was his viewer telling him to respond? What was he even going to reply to that? 

Seishiro clenched his fist next to his keyboard. He opened his mouth to speak, but he hesitated. 

What am I going to say?

He was internally panicking. They already restarted the game yet he still hasn’t replied to him. So, without even thinking about it, words escaped his lips.

“Do your best…”

Seishiro heard both Reo and Yo gasped from the other line of the call. Even his viewers couldn’t believe what they just heard.

Heck, he couldn’t believe it either.

Reo then laughed, which was starting to become music in Seishiro’s ears. “I will.” He said and fought with other players again once he reached the end.

Minutes later, Seishiro won his first game. With Reo coming in close behind him in second place.

But instead of being pissed that he lost for the second time, Reo loudly cheered as Seishiro’s character was displayed on screen.

is it just me or seismik looks so pleased when reo praised him?

Chapter Text

It has been a week since that stream and ‘seire’ has been trending since then.

For that one week, Seishiro streamed like usual but what was unusual was Reo attempts at ‘flirting’ or so his fans called. He didn’t know that a couple of exchanges with Reo would have their fans on a chokehold.

It wasn’t even intentional.

Seishiro was just replying to whatever Reo was saying to him. Since that last slip up, he was trying to choose his words carefully but whatever he said would just ignite the fuel that was his fans' so called ‘ship’.

He and Reo would text each other just like before but Reo never did those advantages to him. They don’t even talk about what happened in every stream. It was like they were aware that both of them were doing it, but refused to acknowledge it outside the stream. 

Maybe it was probably just him.

If Seishiro was being honest, he prepared it that way. They don’t need to talk about that just yet when Seishiro still hasn’t figured himself out.

Seishiro tried asking his friends about it. He was blunt when he asked if they knew whatever was going on between him and Reo. He wanted help from the people who knew him. On the surface, it wasn’t a good idea. But Seishiro needed to know what he looked like to his friends. Wishing that it would give him a clue to figure himself out.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

“Hello, chat!” Reo enthusiastically greeted when he entered the call. “And hello to you too, Nagi.”

“Hi,” Seishiro greeted back. “When’s Hiori coming?”

“In twenty minutes, I think? He just has something to take care of.” 

Seishiro hummed. “Should we play while waiting for him?”

Reo readily agreed and they played a couple rounds of Fall Guys. Seishiro was getting the hang of the game to the point that he didn't need Reo’s assistant, which was pushing players away from the finish line, anymore. 

While they play, Seishiro couldn’t stop thinking about the “thing” Yoichi asked him to do. He knew he wouldn’t be able to escape from it as Yoichi was watching his stream. He even got a text from Yoichi saying, “I’m watching you”, before he went live.

So, Seishiro accepted his fate and decided to just do it. 

But he doesn’t know how to start. He doesn’t even know how to approach it.

It was an impossible task for someone of Seishiro’s caliber.

“Are you guys playing?” Was what Yo said when he entered the call. 

“Yep! We’re in the second to the last round so we’ll be finished soon.” Reo responded as his character tumbled down because of an obstacle.

“Okay, I’m just going to pull up Nagi’s stream then.”

“You’re not going to stream?” Seishiro asked as he jumped to get to the last obstacle. 

“Nah, my room’s getting renovated.” Yo answered. “And I’m too lazy to move my whole set-up somewhere else.”

Reo chuckled. “That sounds like something Nagi would say.”

“Unprovoked…” Seishiro muttered. 

Seishiro and Reo finished the game with Seishiro coming on top. He was unbeatable ever since he got the hang of it and Reo never complained about not winning a single game. He still would see Reo trying to help him win sometimes though.

When they moved on to a different game with Yo this time, his phone beside the keyboard started buzzing nonstop. He doesn’t have his phone on silent, so his viewers could hear the notifications going off.

“Dang, Nagi. That’s a lot of texts.” Yo commented while the game loaded. “Was your number leaked by any chance?”

“No, it’s just Isagi.” He calmly replied. He knew who it was without looking at it, and he had an idea of what the texts were about.

“Did something happen? Maybe there was an emergency.” Reo said this time.

“Nope, he was just being a pain.”

Seconds later, the alert for the donation went off. 

Ping!

noelobster_ donated ¥5!

how dare u!?

Seishiro ignored Yoichi but he continued spamming him through donations since his texts went unnoticed.

Ping!

noelobster_ donated ¥5!

REO NAGI IS BEING MEAN TO ME 😭 CAN YOU TELL HIM TO STOP IGNORING ME CUZ MY BANK ACCOUNT IS GOING TO CRY

Seishiro furrowed his brow. Why was Reo getting dragged into this?

Reo chuckled. “Yes, I am watching Isagi.” It seemed like he saw Yoichi’s plea in the donation. “And Nagi, please stop ignoring Isagi.” 

“But I’m playing…” Seishiro pouted as his character shot someone in the head. “He doesn’t have to worry about his money, I’m giving it back to him anyway.”

“Then reply to his texts after the game, hm?”

“Okay…”

Ping!

noelobster_ donated ¥5!

YESSSS YOURE THE BEST REO THANK YOU SO MUCH 🤍💜🤍💜🤍💜

Reo chuckled again and Yoichi’s onslaught of donations stopped after getting what he wanted. Seishiro could only shake his head at that.

Live Chat:

>>> not the best friend using reo akdhskdj

>>> dammmn seire lore just got deeper

>>> the white and purple hearts!? from seismik’s bff!?!?

>>> is isagi approved of seire 😱

>>> seismik being under to reo canon

>>> this is some fanfic level typa shit

>>> SOMEONE WRITE THAT DOWN

The game ended and Reo immediately reminded him of Yoichi. Seishiro doesn’t have a choice but to get his phone and reply to Yoichi’s mountain of texts.

Seishiro could only sigh and placed his phone back to where it was before. Reo and Yo waited for him to be done and didn’t ask anything about it. He appreciated it because he doesn’t know how to explain it to them. 

He started recalling what Yoichi said on the phone. Thinking about it now made him realize that it was ridiculous. It was something he possibly couldn’t do. But he gave his words, and Seishiro wouldn’t back down from it. 

Seishiro wasn’t a quitter, unless it was something physically taxing to his body of course.

With that thought, they resumed their game. As time went by, Seishiro could imagine his phone going off again. It was a good thing Yoichi was a very patient person or else he would be up his nose just one minute later if he kept ignoring him.

“Why the heck does this guy won’t just die?” Reo loudly complained after using all of his bullets for one opponent only for them not to die. “Can someone kill that guy for me? He’s getting on my nerves.”

“Why? Because you couldn’t kill him?” Yo said as he reloaded his gun.

“Duh,” Reo replied. “No one shall live on my watch.”

Seishiro ran to the guy that was pissing Reo off. He automatically pointed his gun to the guy’s head and killed him with one shot. It looked like he only got a few health left that Reo was unable to damage.

“Got him.” He casually said.

“You killed him?” Reo then praised him. “Nice one, Nagi!”

Seishiro pressed his lips before he spoke. “Anything for you, Reo.”

Yo, or maybe Reo, choked on something and they went completely silent. Seishiro was starting to think that he messed up.

Was that so bad?

Yoichi told him yesterday to “Initiate his usual exchange with Reo”, the exchange being whatever they were doing for the past week. Seishiro doesn’t know how that would help him figure himself out. Yoichi didn’t give him other instructions other than that so he was having a hard time doing it.

He should at least be specific with it.

But seconds later, he heard Reo whispered. “…for me?”

Seishiro hummed while nodding his head. “Yep, for you.”

“Aw, thank you!” Reo chirped. “But damn, Nagi. I didn’t know you had it in you.”

“What is?”

“That…whatever you did.”

“I don’t even know what I did.”

“Thought so.” Reo chuckled, but for some reason, it sounded fake. To the point that he saw a few in his chat pointing it out.

It was different from the way he laughed with Yoichi earlier and somehow, it annoyed Seishiro. Reo’s laugh should always be genuine no matter the situation.

Wait, annoyed?

Why was he annoyed? Because of Reo fake laughing right in front of his face? Why did that even bother him? 

Ah, there it is again.

The weird feeling was back. But it was somehow different. He didn’t felt that in a long time since Tabito—

Huh? Tabito? 

What did Tabito do again?

He only met him twice, but somehow the weird feeling would come back whenever he was there.

Just then, he remembered Reo’s words in his living room.

“Are you jealous of Karasu?”

Jealous? Who? Me? Why would I be jealous of Karasu of all people? Wasn’t he with Hiori? What was that got do with him—

Oh.

Like a bucket of ice water was poured over him, Seishiro remembered who was always next to Tabito whenever he got that weird feeling.

“Reo…” Seishiro uttered his name like he couldn’t stop the words from escaping his lips.

“Maybe we should probably—” Reo stopped talking to Yo about some strategy they were coming up with just to respond to him. “Hm, what is it, Nagi?” He asked, this time more softer than when he was talking to Yo.

Was the difference in tone intentional or was Reo unaware of doing it? Because whatever it was, Seishiro felt like he was just slapped in the face.

He never noticed it before, but Reo has been talking to him like that from the very beginning. He was so dense for not picking up the difference between his tones.

But Seishiro asked himself again, why Reo? Why was he jealous of Reo being with Tabito? He knew now that it was a misunderstanding on his part, but still why? 

Was he really jealous?

What was the cause? Wasn’t that what Reo wanted to hear from him too?

Seishiro’s head was starting to hurt. He couldn’t handle all the thinking he was doing from this short amount of time. His character died so he massaged his temples for the meantime.

This is driving me crazy.

“Nagi? Are you okay?” Reo asked, obviously worried about him. He forgot that Reo had his stream open while still playing on a different device so he could watch what he was doing on stream.

Seishiro didn’t answer him because they were other questions that needed some answers. 

He knew he was getting onto something. He just really needed to get his remaining brain cells to function so that he could forget all about this once and for all.

Seishiro tried to remember what other things Reo said to him that night. The answer might be in the little pep talk they had.

“What is this a prison cell?”

“Because I care for you, Nagi.”

“I like you, Nagi. Romantically.”

“I want you to figure out why you were jealous of him.”

“Don’t expect me to just sit back and relax while you figure yourself out.” 

“I’m gonna make you fall for me, Nagi.”

“If you still haven’t, that is.” 

Seishiro suddenly sat up straight. His eyes wide with his mouth slightly hanging open. His character was revived for a while now but he wasn’t making any move to control it. He couldn’t care less when he finally figured it out.

The reason why he has that weird feeling, why it only showed up when Tabito was around, why Tabito thought that he was jealous of him, why Reo was always at the scene of the crime, and the reason behind those last words…

Reo knew it already. Hell, their friends probably knew about it because why would Yoichi suggest this in the first place? And why no one, absolutely no one, searched for them when they disappeared that night.

Reo was just waiting for him to understand his own fucking emotions. Reo doesn’t want to rush him knowing that this was a first to him. He never felt this way, but now suddenly everything was in place. It was like he just completed a big puzzle by putting on the last piece.

It was so stupidly simple that Seishiro wanted to laugh. He felt like an idiot for taking this long.

It was crystal clear now what he needed to say, and it feels like Yoichi's suggestion worked perfectly. 

Seishiro doesn’t care if they were on stream, Reo needs to know it now. He couldn’t prolong this any longer.

“Reo?” He called out again. He was elated and he felt so light, like a weight was lifted off his shoulders. 

“Yeah?” There it was. That soft and gentle tone that he realized just seconds ago that Reo would often use when talking to him.

I figured myself now.

Was what he wanted to say, but Seishiro blurted out something entirely different.

“…I like you too.”

Yo gasped so loud that he couldn’t hear anything from Reo’s ends. Seishiro didn’t bother looking at the chat because he knew they were freaking out. What was important was Reo. He wanted to know Reo’s reaction. 

Seishiro tried focusing on Reo and based on the silence, it seemed like Yo muted his mic. Did Reo did the same thing?

“Reo?” He called. “Don’t tell me you left the call on accident again.”

Did Reo not hear him at all? If that was the case, then Seishiro just made a fool out of himself on camera. It would be all over the internet as the most humiliating confession of all time. 

“Say someth—” He was interrupted by a sob, and Seishiro immediately panicked.

“Reo? Did something happen? Why are you crying? Please tell me you didn’t hurt yourself.” He asked continuously, but all he heard was Reo’s cries on his headset. 

This was his first time hearing Reo cried and it was breaking his heart knowing that he might be at fault.

There was no way for him to see Reo except video call him. All his thoughts about going to Reo’s house right now flew out of the window when he heard Reo spoke in between sobs.

“Took you long enough, dumbass.” 

Seishiro couldn’t help but to laugh. Reo got him worried for a second there. He really thought something bad happened to him. 

Knowing Reo was just fine, Seishiro let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on his chair. Hearing Reo trying to stop his sobs now made him smile. It was cute. 

And just what they were doing for the past week, Seishiro responded, with his eyes softening as he did so. 

“Thank you for waiting for me…”

reo not telling yori the details about his talk with seismik suddenly makes sense now 😭

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

Right after the commotion Seishiro caused, he immediately ended the stream after the round. His phone was bombarded with texts from his friends, but he left them on read and focused on the text he received from Reo.

Seishiro’s lips curled slightly as he typed in a reply.

───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────

The moment Seishiro heard the doorbell rang, he almost sprinted his way to the door and opened it to see Reo standing right outside his dorm. He was wearing a gray cardigan, his hair wasn’t tied up in a bun, and his eyes were puffy and slightly red. 

“Reo…” Seishiro wanted to reach out to him and wipe a few stray tears on his face. “Did you cry on the way?”

“Shut up…” Reo lowered his head and went inside.

Reo sat on the couch where he sat down last time, so Seishiro took his seat where he sat just like that night.

There was silence. Not an uncomfortable one, but Seishiro could feel his heart racing from the nervousness of the situation. Reo was trying to stifle his sobs by covering his face, and all Seishiro wanted to do was comfort him. 

“Reo…please stop crying,” He pleaded and scooted closer to him. “I didn’t mean to make you cry.”

“You’re so mean for confessing to me on stream,” Reo glared at him and Seishiro wouldn’t say it out loud, especially not in this situation, but Reo looked pretty when he cried. “Now everyone knows I cried like a kid.”

“I’m sorry…” Seishiro apologized and he meant it. “I just wanted to tell you as soon as possible.”

“Did you just have your realization on stream?” Reo asked while wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his cardigan. “Is that why you were acting weird?”

“Yeah…” Seishiro muttered and looked at Reo fully. 

Reo looked like a mess. A beautiful one at that, if that even makes sense. Was that a bad thing to say?

Seishiro had the sudden urge to wrap him up in his arms and never let him go. He wanted to smell his perfume again. He wanted to get close to him. He wanted to touch his skin.

He wanted to touch him.

Can I do that?

Seishiro’s intrusive thought won as he suddenly uttered, “…can I hug you?”

Reo was caught off guard but still nodded and opened his arms with a smile. “Come here, Nagi.”

Excitement overcame Seishiro as he quickly jumped into Reo’s arms causing them to fall back on the couch. Seishiro immediately buried his face on the crook of Reo’s neck while he laid on top of him.

“Nagi, I think you forgot that you’re a 190 cm man.” Reo commented as his hand went to Seishiro’s hair to stroke it. “Good thing I’m strong enough so we wouldn’t fall on the floor.”

“Strong Reo, so cool…” Seishiro mumbled into Reo’s neck causing Reo to giggle. 

With this close to him, Seishiro could feel the giddiness radiating off of Reo. He was getting infected by it, and he doesn’t even mind it. After all, a happy Reo was a happy Seishiro.

Where did that thought even come from…I’m becoming a sappy person…

They got into a comfortable silence. Only their breathing could be heard as Reo continued to caress his hair. 

It felt nice. Seishiro felt so contented right now. He couldn’t believe he deprived himself of such pleasure before. He wanted to stay like this forever. Him in Reo’s warm embrace forever in eternity.

When did I become so cringe…

“Nagi?”

Seishiro felt like he was melting when Reo called his name. “Hm?”

“Do you mean it?” Reo asked. “When you said you like me…”

Without hesitation, Seishiro replied. “I do, I wouldn’t say it if I don’t. I don’t want to give you false hope.”

“Really?”

Seishiro raised his head to look at Reo’s face. He was met with Reo’s sparkling amethyst eyes. If Seishiro could drown in those eyes, he would. With no hesitation. “Do you not trust me?”

“I do, it’s just that it thought it was impossible.” 

Seishiro opened his mouth to speak but Reo beat him to it. “Since I was young, I always got what I wanted. If I ask for something, it would be given to me immediately. It was the norm for me, and of course, I got used to it.” Reo said with a pensive look on his face. “When I discovered you, I started to want you. But for the first time in my life, it feels as though I wouldn’t be able to get something I want.”

“I’m a nobody to you, you don’t even know who I am. It was the first time in my life that someone didn’t recognize me.” Reo weakly chuckled. “I don’t know how to get to you so I tried donating so you would notice me. It was a success, yet it wasn’t enough. I wanted you for myself but I don’t know how. Am I greedy? Maybe, but I never felt this way before so I got desperate.”

“I started flirting with you on stream but it went unnoticed. Hiori even had to step in because he saw how pathetic I was. You’re such an enigma. There was no way for me to know what you were thinking, so I told myself to be patient with you.” He added. Seishiro listened intently. Reo was pouring his hearts out right in front of him, there was no way he wouldn’t listen. “When you started replying to my advances, I knew you just did it without any meaning to it. You were just simply responding to me. So when you said you liked me, I thought I heard you wrong. I doubted my ears at first and then the tears just started pouring out.”

“It’s not like I don’t trust you, but after believing and telling myself that you liking me back would be impossible, it was just hard to believe. I waited so long for this to happen, there’s no way I’m doubting you now after all of this.” Tears started forming in Reo’s eyes. Before it could even fall, Seishiro even wiped them with his hands. 

“Reo…” Seishiro asked and pushed back Reo’s hair. “Do you want me?”

Reo nodded. “I do…” He nuzzled his face against Seishiro’s hands. “Very much.”

“Then you can have me.” Seishiro said. “I’ll gladly give myself to you.”

“How could you give yourself to me just like that?” Reo asked as Seishiro’s thumb started caressing his cheeks.

“Because it’s you, Reo...” He easily responded. “I told you earlier, didn’t I? Anything for you. Every inch of me is yours. If you accept me, that is…”

Reo giggled and held his hand that was on his face then gave it a peck. Seishiro’s heart soared. “Of course, I’ll accept you, you giant baby. No take backs. You’re stuck with me now.”

Seishiro smiled. He liked the sound of that. He forgot when was the last time he smiled in front of someone, but with Reo, it was easy as breathing. He buried his face back to Reo’s neck to hide his desire of kissing the hell out of him after that quick kiss Reo gave on his hand.

I’ve become a perv…

Seishiro thought that their conversation was over when a sudden question popped in his head. He raised his head again and saw Reo already looking at him with warmth in his eyes. “By the way…why me, Reo? Out of all the people you can have, why me?”

“‘Cause you’re Nagi Seishiro.”

“Answer not accepted.”

Reo bursted out in laughter before answering him seriously. “Hm, well, I already told this to Hiori and the others but I feel at peace when I’m watching you. But when I met you in real life, I realized that I’m also at peace when I’m with you.”

“My life has always been in the spotlight. People were always in my business so there was no time for rest. As much as I love my friends, I only ended up getting swept by their excitement sometimes so I wanted some peace and quiet for myself, you know?” Reo continued with a grin referring to the ‘peace and quiet’ phrase he said from back when they first played on stream. “But then I started watching your streams, that’s when I found out that I could be at peace in somebody else’s presence even though you weren’t physically there.”

“You said that people find you weird, but I just find you endearing. I have this urge in me to pamper you all I want. I love all the little quirks you have that I discovered while watching you. And of course, because you’re cute. That was the reason I noticed you in the first place anyway.” Reo giggled again. He reached out for Seishiro’s cheeks and squished them.

“So, how about you?” Reo asked. “What did you like about me?”

That was when Seishiro’s brain short-circuited. “Uh…”

Reo raised an eyebrow. “I poured my hearts out to you yet you didn’t know what you like about me?” He then restarted getting up. “Well, I’m out of here.”

“No!” Seishiro whined and pinned Reo down harder than before. “You said no take backs. You said I’m stuck with you now…”

“Did you just…whine?” Reo asked, dumbfounded while looking up at him with wide eyes. “And Nagi, I was just kidding. I know you have a hard time saying what you feel so I’ll wait until you tell me.”

“You sounded serious…” He pouted as he caged Reo with his arms.

“I’m not.” Reo reassured him and caressed his cheeks. “I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Seishiro seriously got scared out of his wits. He really thought Reo would leave him. He literally just confessed to him like an hour ago on stream. He just got Reo. There was no fucking way he would let him leave.

He then made a mental note to improve his communication skills so he would be able to answer any question Reo threw his way.

“I know you’re a big baby, but I didn’t know you’re a big whiny baby.” Reo sighed out of fondness. “What did I get myself into?”

“No take backs…” Seishiro repeated and Reo giggled in adoration.

“Yes, yes.” Reo nodded eagerly and grinned. 

Seishiro's eyes automatically went down to his lips. It was pinkish and plump, and it felt like it was calling for him to kiss it.

He then heard Reo cleared his throat. “My eyes are up here, Nagi.”

He glanced up at Reo. There was amusement in his eyes as he smirked. “Go ahead, I’ll give you my all too.”

Seishiro tilted his head in confusion. That was when it suddenly hit him.

Oh, he’s giving me consent…

“…can I really?” Seishiro asked in a hushed voice.

Reo nodded slowly. “Hmm. Kiss me, Seishiro…”

Seishiro’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. That was the first time Reo called him by his first name. His name sounded so good being uttered in his lips. He would like to thank his parents for giving him that name. And also, it ignited something within him that he couldn’t put a name on.

Not knowing what it was doesn’t mean he couldn’t get what he wanted though. But, as it was his first time, there was hesitation in Seishiro’s movement as he tried lowering his head. So Reo, getting impatient, placed his hand on the back of Seishiro’s head and pressed their lips together. Seishiro was taken by surprise, but instantly closed his eyes as he leaned into the kiss. 

Warmth blossomed in his chest. Reo’s lips were soft and pillowy and Seishiro couldn’t help but be intoxicated by it. Reo carded his hair as they breathed each other in. 

Seishiro was on fucking cloud nine and he has no plans on getting down. He was such an idiot for missing out on something amazing like this.

Reo was the first one to pull back, breathing heavily with his eyes blown wide. Seishiro wanted more but he opted for kissing Reo’s forehead, down to his nose, his cheeks, his chin, and back to lips with a quick peck.

“I like you…” Seishiro said, suddenly breathless with how majestic Reo looked underneath him. “Please don’t ever doubt that.”

“I won’t,” Reo replied while brushing his thumb over Seishiro’s lips. “I like you too, Nagi.”

“Seishiro.” He corrected which earned him a laugh from the most ethereal human being he had ever seen.

“Sorry, sorry, Seishiro-kun.” Reo grinned and wrapped his arms around Seishiro’s neck. “Now, kiss me again. I want more.”

And Seishiro did just that.

“So… are we dating now?”

“Yes, Nagi. We are.”

“Sei. Shi. Ro. Do you want to be a Nagi so bad? Well, I don’t mind... I think it’ll suit you. Nagi Reo…”

“We just started dating!”

“Eh…why not? Should I take your name instead?”

“Nagi— I mean, Seishiro!”

“Hmmm, better…”

Chapter Text

The semester break ended and Seishiro had to go back to the hell called university. He was annoyed not because he had to study again, but because it halted his time with Reo. 

For the rest of the days before the holidays, he and Reo spent their time together whether it was in his dorm or Reo’s house. He didn’t stream, nor give updates to what was happening between them, and instead just savor the moment he had with his new boyfriend.

They did tell their own set of friends that they were dating now so they wouldn’t be out of the loop. They congratulated them, and were overall happy and supportive of their relationship. All of them collectively sent them “Finally” or “About damn time” texts which made Seishiro sent angry emotes to the group chat Eita created for all ten of them.

They spent Christmas and New Year on video calls because Reo celebrated the holidays with his family abroad. Seishiro never told him but he was sad that he didn’t get to spend it with him. He didn’t celebrate the holidays with his parents so he was all alone when calendar changed into the new year.

But then, Reo did something unexpected. Reo surprised him by coming to his dorm right after he landed in Japan. He gave him a spare key on the day they started dating, in case he wanted to visit him anytime. And waking up to see your boyfriend at your place after being away from each other for quite some time was something Seishiro would never forget. 

He remembered falling off the bed with how fast he was trying to get up to hug Reo who laughed at him while sitting on his gaming chair. 

The two of them exchanged late gifts for Christmas afterwards. In addition, Reo gave him souvenirs he got from abroad for Seishiro and his friends. They then spent the whole day in bed as both of them couldn’t keep their hands to themselves after not seeing each other for weeks. Seishiro was once again reminded that Reo was pretty when he cries, but for a whole different reason.

Being with Reo was an experience for Seishiro. It was fun being around someone who he can openly be clingy and just be himself with. Reo told him he could stay as he was, be lazy and unmotivated, but something inside Seishiro wanted to change for Reo. He deserves that much at least.

It felt like Reo was an angel sent from heaven to Seishiro. He listened to all his whining, he was very patient with him, understood that he was lacking in some way especially with communication, accepted Seishiro for he was, and of course, Reo pampered the heck out of him. Seishiro never thought he’d like someone spoiling him that much until he met him.

Seishiro already forgot how he lived his life without Reo. He possibly couldn’t live without him anymore now that he knew what it was like to be with him.

To keep it simple, Seishiro was down bad. And he never intended on getting up at all.

Seishiro was sat on the couch of Reo’s house waiting for him to finish his shower as he typed in his phone. It was getting kind of lengthy, but he didn't mind. He wanted to say everything he wanted as much as possible.

It was a Sunday, so no classes for the both of them and they decided to hang out. Reo already introduced him to his parents the fifth time he stepped foot inside the building lest they get suspicious on why a random stranger kept going in and out of their property. Reo’s parents, well…they didn’t take it well, especially his father. 

Seishiro remembered Reo’s father fuming when his son brought home a man. On the other hand, Reo’s mother just looked at Reo with disappointment in her eyes as Reo defended their relationship from his father. 

Reo told his parents that he was already taking over the company against his will so they should at least give him the freedom to choose the person he loves. His father retorted that he would give him the freedom to choose, as long as it was a woman. After all, he needs to have a family of his own one day. This infuriated Reo so he walked out of his father’s office while dragging Seishiro away from his parents.

He saw Reo cry his heart out for the first time when they reached his bedroom. It was heartbreaking to see Reo cry because of his parents not accepting him, Seishiro, and their relationship.

When Reo fell asleep after draining himself out from crying, Seishiro went up to Reo’s parents office. He doesn’t want to leave Reo alone, but he needed to do this if he wanted Reo to be happy forever.

Reo’s father eyed him with disdain, clearly not wanting to see him but Seishiro stood his ground. His hands were shaking like crazy, he never thought he would go confront someone, and he was scared that this might worsen the relationship between Reo and his parents. But remembering how heartbroken Reo was, Seishiro opened his mouth to speak.

It was the longest he had ever spoken to someone in one go, but he needed to say it or else he'd lose Reo forever. Seishiro doesn’t really want that.

After hearing all of that, Reo’s father only said one word that sent Seishiro into a frenzy.

“No.”

It was a clear rejection. If it wasn’t Reo’s father, he would have attacked him by now but he refrained himself and watched as Reo’s father left. 

Seishiro was ready to leave, he already said what he wanted to say and Reo might wake up any moment. He did his best to convince Reo’s father so that was enough. He just needs to think of other ways then. He was about to walk away when he heard Reo’s mother speak for the first time since he barged in.

“I applaud you for defending your relationship with Reo by yourself, but I’m afraid I couldn’t give you the blessing you both wanted.”

Double kill.

Seishiro already knew that so he just nodded.

“But…” Reo’s mother continued. “Reo was the type to get bored easily with the things he has, so I’m giving you six months.”

Hope bloomed in Seishiro’s chest when he heard that. 

“If, and only if, Reo never changes his mind about you after six months would I only think about it.” Reo’s mother said with confidence. “That includes my husband.”

Seishiro doesn’t like the sound of a time limit set upon the demise of their relationship, but he’ll take it. A win was a win after all. 

“Thank you, but Reo’s love for me isn’t that fragile.” He said and bowed to her before turning his back to leave.

When Reo woke up, Seishiro told him that his mother was thinking about it. He didn’t tell him the details except that he went up to talk to his parents. Reo was skeptical about it at first, but accepted it. He still won’t show himself in front of his parents though.

Seishiro thought as Reo slept in his arms that night that it was better for him not to know about the time limit his mother had talked about. He believes in Reo the most. There was no way Reo would leave him within six months. Seishiro wouldn’t even let him. The only date they should be remembering was their anniversary, that was all, nothing else.

It was hard to live in the same building as with your parents that didn’t accept you, so Seishiro made sure to always visit Reo whenever he can. Besides, Seishiro liked Reo’s room. Every inch of the room screams Reo and he loved finding new things about his boyfriend whenever he looked around the place.

Seishiro heard the bathroom door opening so he quickly pressed ‘Post’ and put his phone face down on the coffee table. Soon, his phone would be buzzing nonstop. It was a good thing he put his notifications off.

“Seishiro, should we eat out or should we just eat downstairs at the diner?” Reo asked as he exited the bathroom. His hair was still wet and he was only wearing a bathrobe, but Seishiro was still in awe as always.

“Let’s cook~” Seishiro said and went to Reo to give a hug. He smelled good as usual as he got a whiff of Reo’s expensive shampoo and body lotion.

“Eh? It’s been a while since we’ve cooked.” 

“I want to eat your cooking…” He said and buried his face on Reo’s neck.

Reo patted his back. “Fine. Come on. The earlier we cook, the earlier we’ll eat.”

Seishiro put his body weight on Reo who immediately supported him. “Carry me~”

“Now? To the kitchen? I need to put some clothes on.”

Seishiro pouted and kissed the side of his neck. “Come on…you’ll take it off later anyway...” He whined and he knew he won when he heard Reo sigh.

“Yay…Reo limousine.” Seishiro uttered as they made their way to the kitchen while he was on Reo’s back.

“What a baby.” Reo commented with a laugh.

“You like me anyway.”

“Facts.”

When they reached the kitchen, Reo immediately put him down. “I feel like I spoiled you too much.”

Seishiro pouted while slumped over at the counter top. “What do you mean? Spoil me more~”

Reo shook his head with a smile before getting to work. He looked for his phone and sighed when he forgot about it. “Seishiro, where’s your phone? I have to look for ingredients.”

“I left it,” Seishiro stood up and grabbed the saucepan from Reo. “It’s fine, I’ll cook. I can still remember the recipe of the katsudon I cooked for you.”

Besides, Seishiro doesn’t want to look at his phone after what he posted. He would check on it later at night when he and Reo were in bed.

And of course, that thing…

“In exchange, I’ll have you for desse—“

Reo interrupted him by bumping into him to get him out of the way. “Move. I’ll cook.”

“Eh, why not…?”

Hello, this is Seismik.

I’m sorry for suddenly going MIA for the past two months. The semester started again so I have to go back to uni (even if I don’t want to) and I spent the whole January with my boyfriend, Reo.

Yes, we’re dating, this is not fan service. This is real. I love Reo so much that it hurts to be away from him even for a couple of seconds. 

I hope you’ll give us your continued support moving forward. Thank you.

By the way, I’ll stream tomorrow with Reo. See you Seisloths 🤍💜
