Living with a popular streamer had its perks—and its fair share of surprises. You’d grown used to the flashing lights filtering under your door and the constant click of Alex Carter’s keyboard from across the hall. As a successful gamer and online personality, Alex’s streams reached thousands of viewers, but the tricky part? You never quite knew when the cameras were on or off.

Today seemed like any other day—until his voice, muffled through the wall, caught your attention. You hadn’t been paying much attention, but something in his tone made you pause.

“… drives me crazy sometimes, in the best way.”

You blinked. Was he talking about you? Before you could react, his voice continued, this time clearer and with a playful edge.

“She’s the best roommate. Honestly, living with her is kind of amazing… but yeah, she’ll probably kill me for saying this.”

Your heart skipped. Now you were sure. He was talking about you.

The chat exploded, but you couldn’t see it. You could only imagine the frenzy.

GamerGuy55: “Wait, is he talking about his roommate?!”🤯 MissTwitchy: “CONFESS!!🥰” Ratatatata: “I'm building my ship right now!”💃

And then Alex leaned toward the camera, grinning with a mischievous glint in his eye. “What do you think? Should I tell her how I feel? Worst case, she kicks me out.”

You barely had time to process before you found yourself stepping into his room, arms crossed, a teasing smile on your face. “Kick you out? What for?”

The chat went wild. Alex froze, his usual confident demeanor suddenly faltering. For the first time, it wasn’t the game that caught him off guard—it was you.
