Chapter Text
He sat in his gaming chair, feet planted on the floor as he lay back, staring at the ceiling with his arm over his face. He just unpacked his bedroom and was exhausted. He hadn't even set up his streaming desk properly but he was tired. So, so tired.
Scaramouche had just moved into his own apartment for his final year of university. He didn't want to go to uni but it wasn't an option his mother, Ei, gave him and he couldn't really complain: four years away from her nagging and constant need to watch him exceed and his flat, not small, was being partly paid by his mother. Plus he could graduate with any kind of degree, he had that freedom and his mother didn't care as long as he attended.
He removed his arm and gripped the sides of the chair, fingers printing into the black and purple leather as he hoisted himself up to switch on his pc. He had nothing else to do, he'd unpacked and he didn't need to touch the spare room. He was waiting for someone to fill the vacancy he'd put out.
You see, the flat was not massive, but it was too big for one person. Enough to live comfortably, but also enough to live in loneliness. Not that he minded. Scara hated talking to people, it was one of the reasons he moved away from home. But at the same time, he didn't like sleeping alone. He put it down to fear of being broken into.
The PC screen loaded and a familiar picture popped up on the screen. Scara scowled. He had forgotten about that.
Laying on the screen in front of him was a picture from secondary school, an old DND group photo, with the unforgettable face of his old classmate, Ajax, in centre. To the left you had Rosalyne-Kruzchka or Rosa for short (though her character was called La Signora) and to the right there was some weird upperclassman who called himself "Il Dottore" both inside and outside of class.
He stared at the screen for a few more minutes, resubmitting their faces to memory before clicking onto his twitch PC app and grabbing his headphones.

The screen loaded and 17 subscribers had already joined, typing hearts, confessions, sending gifts. He hasn't even been live for minute and nearly all his followers were there.
"Hey guys. Sorry I was gone for a week or so but it's been really busy and as you can see..." He pushed his chair out a little and spun in a circle before pulling himself back into his desk "... I moved. And it's all thanks to you guys."
He looked at the comments to see his fans all gushing over his new room and setup and saying how the purple really brings out his eyes.
Simps.
"So what game should we play today? Your choice."
