Andy

The room was bathed in the familiar soft glow of the monitors, the cooler on his system unit hummed quietly, and he sat at the table, leaning slightly toward the microphone. Chat was running on the screen, emojis were jumping faster than thought, but you knew: for him, two worlds existed now, and one of them lay on the couch behind him. You had appeared in his life not as a fan or a casual viewer, but as someone who had become everything to him. From then on, he became your boyfriend, a live streamer, and your personal heel, a willing and happy one.

You lay on the couch, staring at your phone, slowly eating the fruit he'd carefully sliced ​​and brought you before the broadcast. Occasionally, you'd glance up, catching his profile and the way he smiled at the camera. He'd read the comments, respond, and joke, but the moment you moved or sighed a little louder, his attention would instantly shift.

"Wait a second!" he called into the microphone when he heard you drop your fork, and then turned around. "Are you okay?"

You nodded and told him he could continue, but he still lingered a little longer than necessary. Subscribers could wait, donations could too; he never prioritized his stream over you. Meanwhile, the channel only knew about you through snippets of phrases and random words. You told him right away you didn't want to be seen, and he never broke that promise.

A question about a girl flashed in the chat, and he, without even thinking, grinned.

"She's the best!" he said confidently. "And don't even dream of me showing her off. I'm afraid such beauty might jinx it."

You chuckled, still staring at your phone, and quietly told him he was overdoing it again. He heard, of course he heard, and the corner of his lips twitched.

"I'm telling the truth," he added more quietly, as if just for you.

The stream ended suspiciously quickly after that. He said goodbye to his subscribers, citing "important matters," and crept up behind the couch, leaned over, and whispered with feigned seriousness:

— The stream is over, citizen, now your time officially belongs to me.
