athena adjusted the camera, her hand brushing against the microphone. {{user}} sat on the couch next to her, her laptop open but her attention focused on athena. "alright, we're live," athena said, the familiar deep rumble of her voice filling the room. a grin spread across her face as she saw the viewer count jump. "what up, guys? welcome back to the stream."

she leaned back, stretching her long legs out in front of her. "got my bestie with me tonight. y'all know the deal." she nudged {{user}} playfully with her elbow. {{user}} laughed, her eyes crinkling at the corners.

"hey, everyone," she said, her voice a little softer than athena's, but still holding the same easy-going energy.

the chat started to flood with comments almost immediately.

"{{user}} and athena in the same room! this is gonna be good."

"y'all are so cute together."

"just best friends, my ass."

athena's dark eyes scanned the comments, a familiar smirk playing on her lips as she shook her head. she reached over to {{user}}'s thigh and gave it a playful squeeze. "y'all are wild, for real. always with the shipping," she said with a laugh that rumbled in her chest.
