"You on?" I read the message out loud from discord. Karl sent me the message so I quickly responded and he told me to join VC 2. I adjusted myself and saw it was sapnap, Karl, George, dream and quackity.

"Oh they're probably streaming as well" I quickly put on my headphones and mic down so I could be heard and sighed quietly. I hovered my mouse over the join call button until I saw another person join.

It was Callahan and my smile brightened up. I didn't want to admit it but I had some sort of attraction towards the selective mute boy.

It all started when I was freshly new to streaming and was super nervous. When I would talk to chat, I would always stutter making me gain some sort of an audience because I was "cute" for being awkward.

I was known for being really good at bed wars and would always carry my teammates in almost every match I was matched with. I also didn't get any donations because the people watching me were mostly young viewers or some of my close friends who found my channel.

Until one day, I earned a big donation and I was so stunned on who donated so I tried searching up their name and they were on twitch as well and famous on top of that! I was so honored and so embarrassed I ended stream so early just to calm down.

Then the donator, who was Callahan private messaged me on twitch and told me to add his discord for something cool so I did. It sounded super sketchy at first but after I joined I was met in a server with a bunch of men ranging from minors to full grown adults.

After I was introduced by him, I was welcomed very well actually. I was surprised how nice they all were and so inviting towards a stranger they didn't even know personally.

After that day, I've been streaming with most of them in different occasions but I've been streaming mostly with Callahan. He's sometimes accidentally funny and he makes me laugh so hard until my stomach hurts from the sides. We've been super inseparable ever since.

I clicked on the join button for the discord call and immediately I heard shouting. "What the fuc-" I began but they all went quiet and welcomed me.

"(Y/n) (y/n) I'm streaming!" George shouted before I could make out another word. I quickly changed the words I was about to say with a smile. "What are you guys playing?" I asked quietly afraid that it would go unnoticed due to how much Karl and dream were shouting at each other.

"We're playing who's your daddy?" Quackity said after shouting at George to drop him from his hands. I snickered and pulled up George's stream in another tab and looked at what they were doing.

"Oh! I've seen it before" I said as I recognized seeing one of my favorite twitch streamers play it once with their friends on live. "You can join after this round!" Karl said after half moaning after I saw that he electrocuted himself with a fork in the outlet.

"STOP RUNNING FROM ME!" dream shouted as Sapnap snickered loudly as he crawled super fast towards the outside of the home to the big swimming pool. "George you forgot to put the fucking tarp!" I shouted as Sapnap was at the bottom of the pool mimicking gurgling sounds and the screen popped up saying that the Daddies lost and the babies won.

"(Y/n) who do you wanna be?" George asked. I looked at both slots and I chose to be a baby. My heart thumped slightly as I saw Callahan change his role almost automatically when he saw that I chose baby.

"This time, I'll be a sexy hot dad with daddy dream and Sapnap" quackity said with his auto tuned mic making him sound all funny making me laugh. "Callahan you better be good at this game" I said towards him. He crawled towards me and shook his head and sprinted away at the sight of Dream.

"Oh~ (y/n) where are you~?" Quackity said in a sign song voice as I kept giggling trying to find the other babies so we could cook ourselves inside the stove.

"Ppst! (Y/n) over here!" I heard someone whisper my name. I moved my head and saw George inside the stove waiting for me. I smiled brightly and jumped inside as well. "George! How are you?" I asked as I wiggled around with a smile.

"Much better now you're here" he said making me snort softly. I saw Callahan peak inside the kitchen since I could hear him moving around crawling loudly not even caring about exposing his position.

"Chat where are they?" Dream asked loud enough for George's stream to hear. "Callahan turn it on!" I shouted as he crawled into the kitchen and started crawling super fast as he saw both me and George inside the stove hopping waiting for him.

George's dono was text to speech so a dono came up and said "they're at the kitchen!" And quackity and dream quickly ran to the kitchen to stop us but the stove was already turned on by Callahan who also set fire to the floor as well. We were all bursting in laughter as the three daddies shouted in defeat as it popped up that the babies have won.

"It was so funny seeing Callahan sprint towards us!" George said after the laughter went quiet for a bit but it picked back up after that statement. I went on mute to calm myself down because my stomach started to hurt from the sides. Every time I play with Callahan, I end up hurting my own stomach by how much I laugh even if the boy doesn't say anything at all.

We all kept playing other rounds and we finally finished off George's stream with all of us playfully moaning to our mics making George embarrassed. "Alright let's go do our karaoke now!" Karl said with a smile. My heart fell at the mention of karaoke.

"Wait what? Karaoke?" I asked as I refreshed my twitch and it was said that Karl is currently live with a raid from Georgenotfound. I clicked on it and he was loading up Minecraft.

"Oh sorry we didn't tell you, but we're doing karaoke" Karl said. "You don't have to sing if you don't wanna" quackity said with a reassuring manner. "Nah ill join in" I said making them all clap happily.

I loaded in on Minecraft and met them on the little place Karl said to meet up in. Callahan was here as well which was a surprise since I don't know if he is going to sing at all. I walked over and placed my character next to him. He turned and softly crouched making me smile a bit.

Karl started up the first song which was from high school musical and no one sang except him because we were all shy. "Cmon I don't wanna be the only singing!" Karl said and sapnap immediately joined in to not make Karl seem awkward at his own stream.

They played other songs but I didn't know the lyrics so I was just humming quietly but Karl was going all out. It was rather impressive hearing him passionately sing the notes, so incorrectly. No one had the heart to shush him so they let him sing to his heart contents.

Callahan out of nowhere disconnected and I was confused so I private messaged him if something was wrong. "Nothing, just someone trying to hack my dms" he said. "Change your password!" I typed back which he responded with the thumbs up emoji.

I didn't think much of it since it was a usual ocurance since a lot of people would try to hack mine from time to time so I would just change passwords quite often.

"(Y/n)! This is your song so come up here!" Karl shouted making room for me. I ran up the stairs and stood next to him shyly. "Sing your heart out guapito!" Quackity said making me raise an eyebrow. "I don't know what that means?" I asked.

"Yeah what does that mean?" Dream asked as his character stood in front of me and crouched cutely. "It means you're handsome!" Quackity said as he came up and crouched next to me as well.

George immediately copied him and kept saying it to me in an accent which made me laugh softly. Karl then finally loaded the song and it was 'Hey there Delilah' by Plain White T's.

The song started slow and then Karl jumped in with quackity. They both sounded so well. George joined in as well and kept encouraging for dream to join which he only sang a few lyrics to give himself some self confidence.

Callahan joined back in and it seemed like he was frantically running towards me. I didn't pay much attention to it as I finally mustered the courage to jump in and sing and Sapnap joined in as well.

I didn't notice but the others quietly stopped singing and it was only me who was singing the song. "He sounds really good-" George complimented. I looked over towards Karls chat and they were all complimenting me making me get nervous all over. I sang another line until my discord started going off.

"Ooohhh it's what you do...to..me?" I sang quietly as Callahan was spamming me with screenshots of Twitter and other things. "Wait guys chat is telling me to check Twitter" Karl said as I heard the others do the same.

My heart started beating loudly as I logged in to Twitter and my heart fell. My dms with Callahan were exposed. Our dms were fine at the first screenshots until the other new ones revealed my sexuality. I recently did come out to Callahan and he was there to support me.

A hashtag was already trending reading "#gay(y/n)streamer". My dms were full of people calling me the f slur and others saying they're proud of me. I started hyperventilating as Callahan desperately tried to calm me down without talking since he didn't want to risk his voice reveal as well.

Then the others started shouting at the sudden news. "YOO WHATS GOING ON??" Quackity shouted as the others started shouting as well. "Is this TRUE??" George asked as all of their Minecraft characters came towards me and started hitting me to the point that I died.

"Stop please I'm trying...I'm trying to breathe-" I tried to say but none of them could hear me over their own yelling. I felt like crying. It was pathetic to cry at this age (it isn't) and for being exposed for being (homosexual/bisexual/etc).

"(Y/n)? Are you okay?" Sapnap tried asking but I logged out of Minecraft due to them being so loud it physically hurt me. "Guys please stop he's trying to-" dream said in almost a shout and I started to sob.

My phone wouldn't stop going off to how many notifications I was getting. I was overwhelmed to the max. Dream tried to quiet down and Karl tried to stop his chat from talking about the situation even more to try and refocus the attention.

"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!" A man shouted so loud it made me jump a little and I started to cry even more. "Stop fucking talking about it please. (Y/n) is uncomfortable and your shouting isn't helping" Callahan said as he logged off Minecraft as well. Everyone froze at the sudden voice of Callahan but at the shout he did as well.

"(y/n), VC 3" was all he said as he left the call towards the other one as well. I said a quick bye and left and quickly joined him. I couldn't stop sobbing. I was embarrassed and ashamed.

"I'm sorry I-it's stupid for me to cry like this" I cried out as my tears wouldn't stop spilling. Everything was in my head all at once. The fear of being an online social reject, getting rejected for sponsors for my twitch, and the most fear of losing my friends, especially Callahan.

"I don't...I don't know what to do!" I said as I looked over towards the call, Callahan was still here listening to me cry. It's so embarrassing, it really is so I tried calming down. "Cry it out, it's okay" was all he said to make me burst out crying once more.

I went back on Twitter to see what was happening and to my surprise, those hurtful hashtags weren't trending anymore, Callahan's voice reveal was the thing trending already. My dms weren't flooding at a rapid pace anymore and I was receiving more love than hate.

"Callahan, you didn't have to shout. Now everyone knows how you sound like" I sniffled a little wiping my tears with a nearby tissue. "I'm okay with that if it means protecting you" my heart fluttered open like a butterfly at the words he just said.

"Thank you Callahan, I really appreciate it that you're my friend-" I began but he cut me off guard by saying,"(y/n), I don't want to be a friend" he said with a shaky voice. My face dropped and frowned but knew this was coming.

"I-oh, oh okay I understand. I saw this coming so I'm fine with it, it was nice being your friend Callahan-" I began my little speech but he sighed softly onto the mic making me seal my lips closed.

" not like that dude, I wanna be...more than friends if you let me?" He said. I could tell his voice was trembling by the way he worded his words out. I blushed at the request he was asking me.

"OHHH! ohhhh...wait you like me?" I asked in disbelief. He typed in our private chat instead of speaking making me think he ran out of speaking for the day which I understand. I sunk onto my gaming chair and blushed lightly. "Well, I like you too Callahan, we should be more than friends" I said.

"Oh thank god, my hearts beating too fast right now" he said over the mic and then quickly muted completely. I laughed softly but smiled knowing he'll risk to have my back so I'll do the same and return it for him.

I went back to Twitter and made a statement that it was true that I was part of the lgbtq community and I wasn't ashamed because I had loving friends and family to support me all the way. I went back to twitch to see if Karl was still streaming but it seemed like he was.

Callahan and I joined back to the main call and Karl shouted really loud, "(Y/N)! Join Minecraft right now!" I did as he told me and joined. Quackity told me to follow him down this dirt path which I did and they lead me to this big red wool building.

"What's this?" I asked as I walked in and smiled brightly and what I saw. There were map paintings of me on the sides of the walls and they were all standing inside a heart made up of a rainbow.

"One...two..three!" George counted down and they all ran up to my character and started hitting me but not hard enough for me to die. "WE LOVE YOU (Y/N)!" They shouted all together in unison.

I laughed and wiped my tears and crouched towards them. "Th-thank you guys! I really appreciate it" we ended of the stream by playing a little bit of Jack box and Karl was almost busy the whole stream trying to ban everyone who said something offensive about me or the community as a whole.
