⸻
it had been almost a year since anyone had seen you and khan asadi together.
there wasn’t some huge public fight.
there wasn’t a goodbye post.
there wasn’t even an explanation.
one day, you just… disappeared from each other’s lives.
no collabs.
no raids.
no random calls mid-stream.
not even a message in each other’s chats.
the internet did what it always did—made theories.
“they definitely had a falling out.”
“it’s just for clout.”
“they’re secretly still friends.”
every month, someone would upload another compilation titled “the last time y/n and khan laughed together.”
neither of you ever addressed it.
⸻
it was just another late-night stream.
you were sitting at your desk, talking to chat while waiting for a game to update.
deniss, your cameraman, was standing off to the side messing with the speakers.
without saying a word, he connected his phone.
a few quiet piano notes filled the room.
“somewhere only we know.”
you froze.
“…”
chat noticed immediately.
chat
WAIT.
DENISS WHAT ARE YOU DOING
NOOOOOO
NOT THIS SONG
BRO’S TRYING TO START SOMETHING
you slowly turned your chair toward him.
“…deniss.”
he looked back with the most innocent expression imaginable.
“…what?”
before he could say anything else, you stretched your leg out and lightly shoved him away with your foot.
“get out.”
he stumbled back dramatically.
“ow—”
“turn it off.”
instead…
he turned it up.
chat absolutely lost it.
chat
LMAOOO
THE FOOT SHOVE 😭😭
DENISS IS SO REAL FOR THIS
THEY USED TO PLAY THIS ALL THE TIME
I’M GONNA CRY
you buried your face in your hands for a second before looking back at the camera.
“…i hate this guy.”
deniss was laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
“chat loves me.”
“chat’s about to watch me fire you.”
“worth it.”
the song kept playing.
for the first time all stream, you weren’t reading chat.
you just sat there, staring at your monitor while the piano echoed through the room.
the silence said more than anything you could’ve.
chat slowed down.
the jokes stopped.
everyone remembered.
every late-night drive stream.
every karaoke fail.
every clip.
every time you and khan somehow ended up singing the chorus together even though neither of you knew the lyrics.
