Chapter Text
── .✦
Phainon dragged a head across his face as he sat up straight in his gaming chair. One thing about being a college student is that everything goes to shit once you decide you want to have hobbies. Such a thing must simply not exist in the life of a college student.
But of course, since he hates himself, he had decided he would become a streamer. It's not like he has a life anyway.
He adjusted his camera and clicked 'start'.
"Hey, little sun eaters, welcome, or welcome back to a new wonderful—hopefully—stream! Come and watch me suffer!"
The chat lit up with viewers immediately spamming constant hello's and pleasantries.
>@AcheswanCanon: OMG EM GEE HI PHAINON
>@GlorytotheShogun: yo wassup dude
>@Varkasthirdclaymore: thank GOD I was almost about to do something productive
>@Mondaynotsunday: hiiiii how r u phai?
He laughed and shook his head. "Oh, I'm fine, but you should really be doing something more productive. What's so fun about watching a guy rip his hair out over a kids' game?"
Chat seemed to be mad at words.
>@Ironmouseiscrap: EXCUSE YOU genshin is NOT a kids' game!
>@FatfckIca: No way he's trynna ragebait us my calling genshin a kids' game...
>@Weaklilbuddy: How DARE you....
Phainon just laughed and started the game.
Time passed without him knowing, who was busy chatting with the viewers instead of actually playing.
Mid-game, he suddenly gasped and put a hand to his chest. "Oh my god!"
Chat glowed with concerned viewers.
>@Varkasthirdclaymore: WHAT IS IT
>@TrueMrBoogeyman: WHAT HAPPENED ARE YOU HURT MY KING
>@RealFujoshi: WHAT HAPPENED WIFE
He dramatically rolled his eyes. "I forgot to build my Venti!"
Chat was not impressed.
>@MiziSuaispeak: no way this bitch had me worrying for nthing.
>@SheWantsRevenge: ... this lil mf
>@Threepac: why do i still watch your streams...
Phainon laughed. "Because you love me, of course!"
[@WinterIsFun Donated $10!]: Snowy do u know abt Mydeimos?
He paused. Held back a laugh. "Uh, yeah, of course, I know him. He's pretty popular." He answered after a few moments.
>@GloryToTheShogun: OMG YES HE KNOWS HE KNOWS BALL
>@Nihilux: KING KNOWS BALL HELL YEAHHH
>@Simp101: Literally marry me now.
"Why are you all so shocked? Mydeimos is very famous. Who doesn't know him? His music is super cool." Phainon nodded to himself. Smiled.
>@Sipthegossip: UR FAV SONG??
>@Evanescia: omg what's ur fav song king I loveee The Last Prince!!
Phainon tapped his chin in mock thought before he answered. "'The Undying'," He said. "I really like the instrumental. The lyrics are very poetical. Mydei— Mydeimos' songs are always very touching."
>@PoorlilAsh: my man KNOWS ball
>@TheDivineSeer: THATS SO HSGSVWVWAOAM OMG YESS THATS NY FAV TOOOO
>@Wannabe: My man ur taste is PEAK
Phainon nodded. "Yeah, he's such a good singer. His songs suit his voice, and the lyrics always feel very raw and visceral. I also like 'Heaven's Star'."
Chat went on to tell him about their favourite songs and perfomances, as he focused on the game.
[@Tingyuan Donated $5]: did u go to his concert? He's so unnecessarily hot it makes me sickkkk
Phainon glanced at the chat. "I didn't, unfortunately. Y'all would've been hunting me down."
>@Fahhh: nah gng we're not that ill mannered...
>@reginageorge: LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE WE R NOT THAT RUDE
>@spacecowboy: meanie... we are NOT that bad... u hate us
Phainon just shrugged. "You are. Y'all just can't accept that. Remember the last time I went to a concert? That was an absolute disaster."
He recalls the time he went to a Mem concert and people chased him all the way home. He should've worn something more unrecognizable, though.
He pulls a face.
"Never again."
Chat seems sad at his words. He ignores their cries for proving their innocence.
An hour later, he finally ends the stream.
"Okay, that's enough internet for you all and me. Now, shoo!" He turns off the stream without looking at the chat. He always did that, and they never minded it. They even seemed to like the way he told them to get lost.
He lays back in his gaming chair, stretches, hangs his arm off to the side.
His phone screen lights up with a notification.
He picks it up.
<3
You're such a bad liar.
Phainon giggled. Like, actually giggled. Caught himself. Typed a response.
What? You wanted me to tell them?
That's not what I said.
If you want me to tell them just say it
Shut up. I'm coming over.
Phainon practically jumped out of his seat from excitement.
Yippieee
He put his phone down, happily got himself snacks and sat down on the couch.
About half an hour later, the door bell rang. He eagerly ran over to open the door.
Mydei immediately shoved a paper bag into his hands.
"Food." He simply said.
"Aw, thank you, baby," Phainon grabbed his hand, walked over to the couch, and sat him down. He put away the food and snuggled up next to him.
"Hey."
"Hello."
"I missed you," Phainon pouted.
"I didn't," Mydei just looked back at him.
"You're so rude to me. I am your boyfriend," Phainon frowned.
"You could be my husband and I would still treat you the same. It is not my fault you like me." Mydei shrugged.
Phainon laughed at that, and shifted closer to him to give him a kiss on the cheek.
Mydei gave him a side-eye. He turned his face and kissed his lips. "I missed you, too." He said after a moment.
Phainon gave him a smile and kissed him again. He drove his hands to the back of Mydei's head and pulled him closer.
Moments later, they were practically making out.
Phainon dipped his tongue into Mydei's mouth and Mydei moaned into the kiss. Phainon moved his hands to Mydei's sides, trailing down his body.
Mydei groaned when he tugged on his hair and shifted his lips to Mydei's neck. He left blooming red marks in the wake of his kisses.
Phainon shifted and adjusted himself between Mydei's legs, as he continued to trail kisses down his body, slowly undressing him, revealing soft pale skin and bright red marks decorating it.
Pulling open Mydei's shirt, he moved his hands to the buckle of his pants and—
Well, Phainon really had his dreams come true that night.
