PURE [5]
âDid you guys find anybody?â Felixâs voice sounded out when the man repeated the same question for what seemed like the third time since he joined the call. The number of players showed 7 of them, which meant that they were still missing three people. Sure, they could start the game now, but it would be way more enjoyable and funny with a full lobby.Â
âYeah, Toast will be here any moment. âSykkuno replied right away. âHe just texted me; he should join us in a few.â
âCool. Anyone else?âÂ
âI think Corpse was also supposed to join us, right? Not sure though why he isnât here yet.âÂ
âOh, yeah, Corpse will be here soon too!â Jack suddenly chimed in with an explanation. âHe said he needed to take care of something first, but heâll be here before we start.âÂ
âGreat. But that means weâre still one person short.â Felix hummed when Toastâs little astronaut appeared in the lobby âHey Toast."
âHey man.â
âDo you have anyone coming?â
âIâm afraid not. I asked MrBeast, but heâs busy, so...â
âWell then, we can just start when Corpse is here, and maybe weâll find someone in the meantime?â Dave suggested, earning a few hums of approval from the other players.Â
âYeah, I think thatâs the best option...â Jack agreed. But then his voice blared out in everyoneâs headphones with excitement. âHa! Corpse is bringing someone!âÂ
âWho?âÂ
âI dunno, he just texted me he has one coming and thatâs all.âÂ
âHm, all right. Letâs wait then.â
***
Corpse fidgeted with his phone, glancing between its screen and the chat in his stream. People were already asking countless questions, but rather than answering them, he was waiting for Y/N to call him. He was nervous - the girl still hadnât commented on his request.Â
The idea to invite her to the lobby wasnât spontaneous. In fact, heâd been thinking about it for quite some time now, but never found the courage to actually ask if she would like to join them for the game.
Itâs been almost a month now since that memorable phone call. A month since Y/N last played with her friends; a month since she considerably reduced her social media usage.Â
Sure, she was still active on her youtube channel, but not as much as before the whole haters situation. No matter how hard she tried to just ignore them and simply continue her career, she just couldnât. There were still these nagging thoughts at the back of her mind, reminding her of all those people and their comments, their messages. It seemed like a good idea to take a short break and sort everything out.
Her fans understood it. They were obviously sad that her videos werenât as frequent as before, but everyone knew what the situation looked like and that Y/N needed some time for herself.Â
Her audience knew it, and so did her friends. Especially Corpse.Â
The man kept his word and talked to the girl whenever she wanted to. Which, in the end, was almost everyday. Although at the beginning their conversations mostly focused on her current problem and dealing with it, their topics broadened over the time.Â
At one point though, Y/N started worrying that maybe sheâs annoying him with her so frequent calls. She thought that she shouldnât bother him that much - even if talking to him was what really helped her cope with her problems. He already had enough on his plate, and sharing her own concerns with him suddenly seemed like a very selfish thing to do.
But she quickly realized how wrong she was for thinking like that. When one day she didnât call, figuring out that she should stop troubling him with her own issues, she was very surprised when Corpse reached out to her himself. He expressed how worried he got when she didnât call, and when she explained what was the reason, he spent the next fifteen minutes lecturing her that she should never think sheâs bothering him.Â
From that day on, they talked every single day. And they talked about almost everything.
Corpse enjoyed their late night-talks more than anything. He liked to listen to Y/N talk about the things she finds exciting, her hobbies, and her dreams. Hell, she could talk about what she ate for breakfast, and he would still listen with interest.Â
And even though they havenât seen each other in person, even though she still hasnât seen his face, they managed to get really close during those past weeks. For an outside observer (who also didnât have access to Twitter) they would seem like a couple of very good friends.
But not for Corpse.
He couldnât pinpoint when exactly did it happen. They were talking one evening and Y/N was telling him about the TV series she had finished watching recently. He listened intently and watched as her facial expressions changed from excited to frustrated, as she was enumerating everything she liked and disliked about the series finale.
And then he suddenly got this weird feeling in the pit of his stomach, and simply couldnât take his eyes off her.Â
He tried to play it off and act as if nothing changed, but he couldnât stop his heart from doing backflips whenever she laughed at one of his dumb jokes or called him partner. It was still a running joke between them and among the group of their friends, but there was something in the way she said it that made him instantly smile like an idiot.Â
He also started paying more attention to the hashtags on Twitter and Instagram. #PartnersInCrime was still rather popular, even though it was a month since anyone last used this phrase on stream. Corpse also found out that #Y/Nforthebride was trending for some time; he even managed to stumble across a few fanarts.Â
There was this urge to send them to Y/N, but he was too nervous that it would make things awkward between them... After all, he didnât know how she felt about that whole shipping thing.Â
Thatâs why he decided to just leave things between them as they are, and be happy that heâs at least her friend. Â
Corpse nearly jumped out of his skin, when he was brought back to reality by the sound of an upcoming FaceTime call. Y/Nâs photo appeared on his screen, her smiley face which he had assigned as her contact photo. His lips corners curled up in a smile almost unwittingly.Â
âHey Y/N/Nâ he said after answering the call.Â
âHi Corpseâ she smiled softly upon hearing his voice. Although the screen on her side was dark, she didnât mind not seeing Corpseâs face. She respected his wish to remain faceless and enjoyed their conversations anyway.Â
âWhatcha doinâ?â
âJust editing the new video. I guess Iâll upload it in the morning... but Iâm not sure yet.â
âWell let me know then, I wanna be the first one to see it.âÂ
âSure thing, Corpseâ she chuckled, lowering her gaze bashfully. Corpse just looked at her face for a moment, unable to stop smiling to himself. Then he remembered why they were talking in the first place.
âSo... have you seen my text?â Y/N sighed at his question but nodded her head slowly. âAnd what do you think?â
âI donât know, Corpse...â she ran a hand through her hair in a nervous gesture. â...if thatâs a good idea, I mean.â
âWell, itâs been a while. No pressure though, if you donât wanna play then itâs totally fine.â he quickly clarified. âI just thought it would be fun if you joined us, even if just for a moment. Iâm sure everyone would go crazy.âÂ
Her smile widened slightly at his words, but she still didnât look convinced. Sure, it was tempting to join them. She wanted to do it each time Sean or Felix bombarded her with messages and codes to the lobby, both inviting her to join the group in the game. But then she remembered how people reacted to her appearance in their streams... and suddenly it didnât seem like such a good idea anymore.
âWeâre gonna play on Polus...â he added after a moment when she still didnât say anything. âThat one map with the planetary base... thereâs a lava pit, yâknow. Just saying...â
She laughed wholeheartedly at his words, remembering their last game when Corpse jumped into the lava for her.Â
âSykkunoâs gonna be there as wellâ Corpse continued. âAnd I promise I wonât kill you this time.â
âEven if Iâm the last player alive?â she joked.
âEven then, Y/N.â
Corpse stifled a laugh, as she cocked her head to the side and narrowed her eyes slightly as if trying to spot him in the darkness.Â
âAre you streaming, Corpse?â she then asked.
âNot yet. Iâm gonna start the stream as soon as you say yes, though.â
âOh câmonâ she laughed at his words âThatâs emotional blackmail!âÂ
âMaybe. Is it working?â he asked.
Y/N let out a heavy breath and ran a hand down her face. Corpse watched in anticipation as she seemed to have some internal battle with herself. He hoped that sheâs gonna agree, he really missed playing with her.Â
âAll right, then.â she suddenly said, and his breath hitched in his throat. âIâm gonna stay for a few rounds I guess...â
âWait, really?â he asked, a smile on his face only widening.Â
âWell, yeah, partner.â she replied, which made his cheeks go warm âYour imposter techniques havenât been very effective lately... Someone needs to help you out, or youâre gonna lose your title of the king of the Imposters.âÂ
âOh, is thatâs how it is now?â he laughed in fake shock. âI wouldnât have to worry about losing the title if my accomplice hadnât left me all alone!âÂ
âAll right, all right.â she giggled at his accusations. âYour accomplice is on her way to support you.âÂ
Corpse smiled even wider at the sound of her laughter. Her eyes shined with happiness when she was giggling, which only brought out their E/C color. The fact that his stupid babbling was the reason for her smile was making him feel extremely proud of himself. Â
âBut just so you know... I still have no idea how this map works, so Iâm afraid Iâm gonna need you to guide me around it...â
âYâknow you could as well just say you want to hang out with me...â
âCorpse!â she laughed, her cheeks blushing in embarrassment.Â
âJust kidding Y/Nâ he chuckled at her reaction. âOf course Iâm gonna guide you, donât worry.â
âOkay then...â she said after a moment, looking at the screen again. âIâll be there in a few minutes. Will you send me the code, please?â
âSure I will, Y/NâÂ
âOkay. See you later, partnerâ she smiled brightly.Â
âSee you, partner.âÂ
When Y/N ended the call, Corpse let out a breath he didnât know he was holding. He sighed in relief and ran a hand through his hair, before moving to sit behind his desk.
It was only after he started the stream that he realized he was blushing. Not only because Y/N would join them, but because there was also another thing he wanted to ask her about, but didnât find the courage to yet...Â
***
By the time Y/N turned on her computer and started the game, Corpse has already sent her the code, and there was a Discord invite waiting for her as well. She bit her lip nervously as her heartbeat quickened.Â
Was she nervous? As hell.Â
She did everything she could to avoid being in unnecessary spotlight since she started receiving those hate messages. Perhaps escaping the problem wasnât the best solution, but it definitely was a comfortable one. People wouldnât have a reason to hate on her if she disappeared.Â
But then she couldnât say no to Corpse. And truth to be said - she really missed playing with her friends. From what sheâd seen on Twitter, the lobby would be filled with those sheâd already played with, so she wasnât that nervous before the game. What she was nervous about though, was how people would react.
Accepting Corpseâs request was something she did due to the sudden rush of courage. And now there was no coming back.
She knew Corpse would understand if she changed her mind... but she heard how excited he was when she had agreed. She couldnât do it to him.Â
So, once sheâd taken a deep breath and put her headphones on, Y/N accepted the invite and braced herself for the inevitable chaos that was bound to take place in the call. She decided to wait with joining the lobby though - at least until they realize sheâs with them.Â
â..the fuck youâre talking about?!â Felixâs voice was the first thing she heard, which made her roll her eyes with a smile. âItâs not my fault I sound like that! At least I donât have a liar voice like Rae!âÂ
âHEY!â the girl yelled âI donât have a liar voice!â
âYou do, youâre using it even now!â Jack argued, much to Raeâs dismay.Â
âWhat is going on hereâ Corpseâs deep voice sounded out suddenly.Â
âOh, youâre here! Finallyâ Sykkuno immediately welcomed him with his always happy voice.Â
âYeah, sorry that Iâm late guys.â
âNo worries, manâ Pewdiepie spoke up again. âWe were just talking about playing the voice card and that youâre basically the only one who can do it.âÂ
âNot fair at all!â Rae chimed in, making Corpse chuckle.Â
âThe voice card...â he hummed after a moment, before adding. âI wouldnât really say Iâm the only one though...â
âWell who else then? Everyone else either starts laughing or have a liar voiceâ Dave asked, and Rae scoffed at the last words.
âWell what about my guest?â
Y/N inhaled sharply, realizing that now she should probably reveal herself.Â
âOh, right! Who youâre bringing man?â Sean asked with curiosity.
Thatâs when Y/N typed in the game code, and her white astronaut appeared in the lobby.Â
âWait, whoâs- HOLY SHITâ Sean all but yelled, when realization hit him. Y/N laughed loudly at his reaction, and her voice only seemed to prove to everyone that she really was there.Â
âKIDDO WHAT THE FUCKâ Felix reflected Jackâs response, yelling over his friend.
âOh my god, hi!â
âWhat a surprise!â Y/N managed to catch Sykkunoâs words. âItâs so amazing to have you here, Y/N/N!âÂ
âAs I live and breathe.â another voice spoke up, and Toastâs little astronaut came face to face with her white bean. âMy lifelong nemesis. Back here snap my neck again, huh?â
âYeah, happy to hear you too, Toastâ Y/N giggled at his words, then she adressed the whole group. âHi guys.â
âOkay I did not expect that in the slightestâ Sean laughed happily âYouâre here kiddo!âÂ
âI amâ she smiled from ear to ear, even though they couldnât see her.Â
âWait- Corpse, is that the thing you had to take care of?â her best friend asked Corpse with suspicious voice.Â
âWell...â he trailed off and cleared his throat, making everyone laugh.
âThatâs so great Y/N! We missed you so much!â Rae thundered over the bickering of the boys. âThe game hasnât been the same without you...â
âAgreed. I suddenly stopped dying.â Toast commented, making her roll her eyes with a laugh.Â
âI donât know if I should be happy or fucking scared right now.â Felix laughed nervously. âWith Corpse and Y/N? Weâre fucked now, guys.â
âI promise Iâll go easy on you, I havenât played in so long I think I forgot all my strategies...âÂ
âYeah, sure.â Toastâs forever suspicious voice made her smile wider. âJust donât kill me in the first roung, okay? I wonât vote you off just stay the fuck away from me you little murderer.âÂ
âOkay, I promise I wonât kill you...âÂ
She couldnât stop herself from laughing, and the smile remained on her face even when they started the game. It only seemed to widen, when she saw the sign Imposter on her screen.Â
Only to giggle hysterically when she realized that Toast was the other imposter...
And so the game went on with Y/N and Toast cooperating like perfect serial killers. Corpse did as he promised and guided her through the map, both of them being closely followed by Sykkuno. Because of that sheâd just sabotage the map most of the time to give Toast opportunities to kill their friends, but eventually managed to sneak out when her two fellow crewmates were doing their tasks. It just so happen that Pewds was walking past her, and she mightâve accidentally snapped his neck...Â
âGoddamnit! I knew it! I fucking knew it was you!â Sean yelled once the game was over and Y/N saw the sign VICTORY on her screen, her small character standing next to Toastâs one. He was ejected at some point because Poki managed to walk in on him killing Rae, but Y/N remained undetected until the very end. Perhaps the fact that Corpse was one of the two crewmates who were left alive had something to do wtih it...
âThat was rudeâ Pewds said in a whiny voice, clearly referring to their encounter which led to his death. âI was just happily walking around, doing my tasks like a good crewmate, and then boom! Y/N happenedâÂ
âI would say Iâm sorry... but Iâm really notâ she laughed, making Felix gasp in shock.
âThatâs what happens when you work with Toast!âÂ
âGood game, Y/N. That was amazingâ the man in question said appreciatively.Â
âWill you finally forgive me for killing you that one time if I say that being imposters with you was cool?â she laughed nervously.Â
âActually... Yeah, I guess we can bury the hatchet now. AND we should team up more in the future.â
âGreat!âÂ
âExcuse me, what?â Corpseâs voice made the whole lobby laugh. âI donât remember us cancelling our partnership, Y/N.â
âCorpse...âÂ
âAre you trying to steal my accomplice from me Toast?âÂ
âWell sheâs a great partner in crime after all...â Toast deliberately used the phrase, making Corpse gasp.
âHey! Sheâs my partner! Find yourself your own, Toastâ Corpse joked, making Y/N laugh bashfully, her cheeks warming up at his words.Â
âYeah yeah, I remember, donât worry man. No oneâs gonna take your partner in crime away from you...â Toastâs teasing voice made them all laugh, Corpse and Y/N included.Â
For the next few rounds Y/N played as a crewmate, running around the map with either Corpse or Sykkuno and doing her tasks. During meetings they joked and laughed, and for a moment, she stopped thinking about what people watching her friendâs streams might think about her presence. After all, there was at least a small chance that they didnât think about it at all, and simply enjoyed watching their favoirte youtubers. Just as she enjoyed playing with her friends.Â
Oh, and by the way, Corpse kept his promise and didnât kill her even when she was the last player alive...
It was soon time when everyone started slowly leaving the lobby, having played for over three hours. Y/N also said her goodbyes to the others and promised that sheâd join them to play a game called Raft next week.Â
When she turned her computer off and threw herself on her bed, Y/N immediately grabbed her phone to call Corpse. He answered right away.Â
âWell hello, partner...â she rolled her eyes with a smile when he accented the last word. âOr should I say, traitor, instead?âÂ
âCorpse... you know I would never betray you...âÂ
âWell how can I be so sure, now that I know how cool it is to be imposters with Toast?â she knew he was joking, she could almost hear the smile in his voice.
âNot nearly as cool as it is with you, Corpseâ Y/N grinned from ear to ear when Corpse scoffed.Â
âI spare your life so many times and thatâs what I get in return? You cheat on me with Toast?â he said in disbelief âIâm disappointed, Y/N, I really am.â
âI would never!â she laughed through her words, even though her cheeks were now red because of Corpseâs words. âYouâre the best partner in crime, Corpse, I wouldnât trade you for anyone else!âÂ
Not only in the game, she thought.
âHmm, alright. Letâs say I believe you.â he said after a moment of thinking.Â
âI mean it, Corpse...â Y/N said after calming down from her laughter. âI... I really wanted to thank you.â
âThank me? For what?â he asked, genuinely surprised.Â
âWell, first of all for inviting me to todayâs game... I really had lots of fun, it was great to play and talk with the others. And I wouldnât be in the lobby if not for you...â Y/N mumbled, before verbalizing her previous thoughts. âAnd I also wanted to thank you for just... you know... being my friend. My real life partner in crime. I just wanted you to know Iâm really glad I met you...âÂ
Corpse was silent for a good few moments, and Y/N started panicking that maybe she said something wrong, or maybe he found her spontaneous confession funny, or worse, dumb. She was almost ready to somehow laugh it all off, when his voice cut her off.
âThank you, Y/N. It really means a lot to me too.â he sounded like he had some troubles with speaking, which made Y/N furrow her brows in worry.
âIs everything okay, Corpse?âÂ
âYeah, I...â he stuttered, then laughed nervously. âI just didnât expect that and... yeah. Itâs not something I hear on a daily basis, especially from someone like you.â
Someone like me?Â
 âBut what you said... itâs mutual.â he said after a moment, and Y/N couldnât stop herself from grinning like an idiot. âYouâre the best partner in crime I could ask for. And not only in the game.âÂ
She could as well just pass out there and there...
âSo uhm... there was one thing I wanted to ask you...â
âYeah?â
âI was wondering if maybe... you know, if youâd have some time... and if youâd want to of course... would you maybe like to visit me here in San Diego?â
Yeah, passing out seems like a good idea.Â

no grave can hold my body down â 1/2
Character: Jason Todd x Fem!Reader
Summary: It took time to get Jason Todd away from the darkness. Sometimes it felt like he was always standing at a tipping point, at risk of completely losing himself. But not when he was with her. She made him better and she would continue to make him better.Â
Word Count: 5,500Â
A/N: I am very new to this fandom and extremely nervous to write something for it. To clarify, I have not read any of the comics. But Iâve watched a lot of the TV and movie adaptations, and have done a lot of research. Jason is much older in this â like 30? â and therefore the rest of the BatFam is older, as well. But this takes place after Jason Todd is resurrected, but is still on rocky territory with his family.Â
Jason dropped down to the fire escape of his apartment with a quietness that seemed impossible for how large he was.Â
On the other side of the small fire escape, Y/N sat with a blanket over her lap, a book in her hand, and a mug of coffee balanced perfectly on the metal grates.Â
âThought I told you not to wait up for me,â Jason greeted, knowing she noticed his arrival, but just kept reading her book. His book, to be precise.Â
It was almost 4AM and Jason had called it a night after taking out an entire drug cartel. It had been a lot of waiting, until it finally led up to 20 minutes of utter chaos. He left them on a silver platter for the police to arrest them and actually clean up the mess.

writing should be fun.
make oc playlists. spend hours on moodboards that have no purpose. write self-indulgent fluff thatâs never going to be published. scribble three lines of poetry in the back of your history notebook. draw fanart of your own characters. write stupid dialogue that your publishers might hate. start new wips that you might never finish but write those three chapters that make you happy because if you donât write them, who else will?
writing shouldnât always be about âwill publishers like thisâ or âi have to reach this word countâ or âhow do i get the most likesâ.
have fun with your writing.

Hi! I am just dropping by to let you know that I absolutely love Pure. The last part so also written so good! I also really appreciate thta you did not make (y/n) get over everything just because people talked to her about it, because this way it is so realistic! I also thought the converstation was really genuine!
Love you! đđ§Ą
Thank you sooo much!! Iâm really glad you think this way, I was hoping to describe their conversation as genuine as possible and avoid belittling y/nâs problem - itâs obviously not something that can be solved through a few minutes talk.
Thank you once again for these kinds words, I hope youâll enjoy the next part as much as this one đ

PURE [4] - Corpse Husband x Fem! Reader
A/N: Iâm back. Shout-out to my sister @mojajasnoscmrokirozproszy , who encouraged me into finishing this part.
part 1Â
part 2Â
part 3Â
part 5
PURE [4]Â
Corpse was confused, to say the least. He stared at the screen with his brows furrowed, not exactly understanding what just happened, or what caused Y/N to leave so suddenly. He thought they were all having fun, or at least thatâs the impression Y/N gave while interacting with other players.Â
Was she just pretending sheâd had fun when in reality, she didnât want to spend time with them?Â
He knew it was none of his business. They didnât even know each other, outside of these two short games theyâve both been part of. But Corpse was quick to get attached to new people, and Y/Nâs sweet voice, her innocent demeanor, and pure personality made him instantly like her...Â
Perhaps it wasnât exactly a good thing that he felt so worried when she left, given the fact that two of them have spoken maybe for a few minutes since they met each other. But Corpse couldnât help it, and certainly couldnât stop this weird feeling that something was wrong and that he needed to make sure that Y/N was okay. After all, he was the only one who knew that she left. Except for his audience, of course.Â
So the moment her white little astronaut suddenly disappeared, Corpse went on a killing spree. He didnât even care about that whole finish my lyrics thing he decided to terrorize his friends with, he just wanted to finish this game and check on Y/N. It was obvious that she wasnât telling the truth. Even though it looked like she was trying really hard to contain her emotions, he could still hear her quavering voice. It was too hard to hide, and he knew it firsthand. Thatâs why he made it his point to at least check on her. Â
âJesus Corpse, you just went full berserk on us...â Felix murmured when the last person was killed, and Corpse could see a sign victory on his screen. It didnât make him smile though, not how it usually would.Â
âIt was great though! Letâs do it again, but maybe on the other map?â Sykkuno suggested, clearly very excited about this hide and seek game theyâve come up with.Â
âSure, letâs get the first one maybe?â
âActually, would you guys mind if we had a little break?â Corpse asked before they could start another game. âWeâve been playing for a little while now...â
âAh, yeah! Bathroom break!â came Raeâs response, followed by a few hums of approval. Corpse sighed in relief. He was afraid his worried voice would draw the attention of other players, but they didnât seem to notice it.Â
âAll right, is ten minutes good?â asked Sean, and when everyone agreed, Corpse excused himself from his audience and muted his mic. He grabbed his phone and unlocked it, only to be hit by a sudden realization.
He didnât even have Y/Nâs number.Â
âFuck...â he cursed quietly under his breath, running a hand through his hair. How the fuck was he supposed to check on her? He couldnât use discord, he was still streaming after all... Maybe Twitter would work? Nah, she probably wouldnât even notice his messages. What was left then?
Of course.Â
Sean.
Corpse didnât even think about any explanation as he quickly typed in a message to the said man, asking if he had Y/Nâs number. The response came almost immediately.Â
âYeah, I have. Why?âÂ
Okay, now what? He couldnât just tell him what happened. Corpse knew that Sean and Y/N were close, but he felt like it wouldnât be fair towards the girl if he told Sean what happened. Maybe she didnât want anyone to know... Maybe she didnât want to speak to anyone.Â
Him included.Â
But Corpse felt as if he had to do it because that was something he wished someone would do for him if the roles were reversed. To at least show that he cared, that she wasnât alone with whatever it was that bothered her...Â
Was he being intrusive, for wanting to make sure that everything was okay? And what if she was totally fine and heâd just end up making a complete fool out of himself?
âNot that I havenât already made a fool out of myself...â he mumbled under his breath, his fingers quickly typing the response to Sean. However, before he could finish it, the said manâs name appeared on his screen with an upcoming call.Â
It was so unexpected that Corpse almost dropped the phone.
âUm, hey manâ he said after picking up, his hands trembling as he tried to come up with some good explanation as to why exactly he needed Y/Nâs number. âLook I-â
âDoes this have something to do with her disappearance?â Sean cut him off, leaving Corpse with his mouth hung open, utterly shocked. Â
âI um- no. I just wanted to call her and... cause I donât have her number...â
âCorpse, I heard what she had told you...â Sean sighed into the phone âI was flying around you after you murdered me.â
âI...â Corpse tried once again and again found himself at the loss of words. His brows furrowed suddenly as he realized something âWait- are you still streaming?âÂ
âI left for a moment to grab something to drink and call Y/N. Donât worry, I wouldnât say anything on the stream.âÂ
Corpse sighed in relief. If Sean managed to somehow play it off, then his fans maybe havenât figured out what was going on. He didnât want them to attack Y/Nâs social media with tons of questions she obviously wouldnât answer.Â
âDo you know what happened?â Corpse asked quietly, hoping that maybe Sean knew something more that would ease his nerves. He hoped that it wasnât anything serious, that maybe Y/N just had a bad day. âShe left so suddenly and I got a little worried...âÂ
For a moment there was silence between the two of them, Corpse impatiently awaiting an answer and Sean thinking about the right words... or wondering whether he should tell him the reason for Y/Nâs disappearance in the first place.Â
âItâs- ugh.â Sean groaned, before letting out a heavy sigh âIt stays between us, all right? I donât want others to start texting her out of nowhere, asking if sheâs okay. She would probably kill me.â
âYeah, absolutelyâ Corpse nodded his head rapidly, even though Sean couldnât see him.Â
âOkay... So I donât know the exact reason of her disappearance...â he began, and Corpse felt his heart sink in disappointment. âBut I have some suspicion.â
âCan you be a little more specific, Sean? We donât have much time before the next game...â Corpse didnât want to sound rude but he was slowly growing impatient, and even more nervous when he still wasnât able to check on Y/N and make sure that sheâs okay.
âShe received lots of hate after our last stream.â Sean finally explained, although his voice sounded quite reluctant. âAnd when I say lots, I mean lots, Corpse.â
âWhat?â Corpse grunted, his brows knitted together in confusion âWhat do you mean?â
âOh you know, man... Comments on Twitter, on her Instagram, even under her latest video...â Sean let out an exasperated sigh âApparently, some people are not happy that sheâs playing with us.â
âWhy?â Corpse managed to utter, completely shocked at the news. For some reason, it was the last thing he expected Sean to say. It didnât even cross his mind that someone as sweet and polite as Y/N might have to deal with this kind of issue.Â
She was always so kind, why would anyone hate on her?Â
âYou know how some people act online...â Sean murmured, his voice clearly gloomy, as opposed to his usual cheerful tone. âThey think she shouldnât be playing with us cause sheâs not popular enough. Some consider her annoying, not funny enough, and so on...â
âWhat does popularity have to do with who weâre playing with?â Corpse almost growled these words, feeling anger slowly bubbling up in his stomach. He couldnât comprehend why anyone would act this way towards Y/N, towards this little angel as Sean put it last time they played, towards this sweet, innocent girl, his partner in crime...Â
âThatâs what I told her before the streamâ Sean explained with a sigh âAnd that she shouldnât worry about what strangers think of her... but itâs easier said than done.âÂ
âYou think she received another text or something?â
âI donât know manâ Sean sighed âI tried calling her like ten times already and she didnât answer. Itâs not like her to leave so suddenly, without saying goodbye. Iâm worried something happened...âÂ
Corpse clenched his jaw, closing his eyes for a second. If Y/N didnât answer Seanâs calls, why would she answer his? They barely knew each other, while Sean was her best friend. Â
âMaybe... Iâll try calling her?â Corpse suggested anyway, his voice low and almost shy. He figured it was worth at least a try.Â
Sean was quiet for a moment as if contemplating what to do. They were already running out of time, and Corpse didnât know what to do. On one hand, he didnât want to end the stream and leave his fans, he felt bad at the thought alone of disappearing so soon and disappointing them... But on the other, he couldnât just leave Y/N like that. Especially, since as Sean explained, it wasnât like her to act this way. It only proved that whatever happened was rather serious.
âYâknow what?â Sean suddenly said âIâll give you her number, maybe sheâll pick up from you.â
âThank you, Seanâ Corpse said quietly, ready to end the call, only to be stopped by Seanâs words.Â
âLook... I know I shouldnât be asking you to do it, but... could you maybe try talking some sense into her?â he asked, clearly uncomfortable with this request âI feel like youâd be able to calm her down...â
âI...â Corpse stuttered, running a hand through his hair âIâll try, okay? Iâm not sure if sheâll want to talk about it though, Iâm basically a stranger, so...â
âCorpse, she agreed to join us only after reading your last tweet.âÂ
Oh.Â
His heart fluttered with something that didnât seem like growing panic. And even though his face was expressing his worry, his lip corners formed a small, bashful smile. And whether he liked it or not, his cheeks turned completely red.
âIâll... Iâll see what I can doâ he managed to reply, before ending the call.Â
Corpse ran a hand through his locks and down his face, releasing a heavy breath he didnât know he was holding. He considered getting Y/Nâs number a difficult task which, however, turned out to be the easiest one. Now came the real challenge. Calling her.Â
For a moment, he just stared at the screen of his phone, scanning the new message from Sean, which consisted of Y/Nâs phone number. It looked as if he was memorizing the number when in reality, he just felt panic overtaking his body and complete chaos in his mind.Â
Letâs say she picks up the phone, and then what? Should he just say hi? Introduce himself?Â
âHi itâs me, the guy you basically donât know and who became paranoid after you disappeared from the gameâÂ
 Yeah, sure. Perfect introduction for the pep talk he was supposed to deliver.Â
Why was it always that he acted almost as if on instinct one second, only to start having second thoughts a moment later. He couldnât back out now when he had already got her number. Not when there was also another person counting on him. Not when he still didnât know what the fuck happened, and for some reason was determined to find out.Â
And then was the problem of his voice, which suddenly seemed stuck in his throat. It was a very weird feeling, typical for one to get while being on the verge of a panic attack. As if there was a need to talk, but the body refused to. As if his vocal cords were paralyzed and not eager to cooperate.Â
As if it was him who just experienced something strongly upsetting, not Y/N.Â
Corpse fidgeted with his phone for a moment, before deciding against the idea of calling the girl. He figured he wouldnât be able to utter a single word if she picked up the phone from the unknown number in the first place. If she did though, sheâd probably consider it some misdialed call or some prank. Which was the last thing he wanted her to think.
Instead, he opted on sending her a text.Â
He sat still for a moment, thinking about a message that wouldnât right away reveal the cause of his concern, but which would say enough to figure out who sent it. His thoughts drifted back to the game they were both playing, remembering his stupid comments and her gentle voice. His fingers typed out the message almost automatically.Â
âWanna jump into the lava with me?â
He hesitated just for a second, before sending the text, his heart doing a backflip in his chest the moment he pressed the send button. Corpse gripped the phone tightly in his hands, his eyes staring at the screen and waiting impatiently for those three little dots indicating that the other person is typing a response to appear. He waited and waited, and a lump slowly formed in his throat when Y/N didnât respond immediately.Â
Was he really getting paranoid?Â
Maybe he was just tired. Or she had a bad day. Or she just found this game boring.
Or she didnât want to play with them. Or she thought his comments were annoying.Â
âIâm an idiotâ Corpse muttered to himself and slapped a hand on his forehead, pushing those thoughts away. Deep down he knew that wasnât the case, but the longer Y/N didnât respond, the louder was the voice at the back of his head, telling him that her problems were none of his business and he shouldnât be asking for her number in the first place.
But it was the right thing to do. He knew it, Sean knew it, and Corpse also hoped that Y/N did not perceive his text as some pathetic joke. He waited for a couple of minutes, before typing another message:
âIâm here, partner, if you need to talk.âÂ
He felt the need to assure her that despite the ongoing stream and the other players probably already waiting for him to return, he was there for her. Thatâs what he considered the best option, not to force her into talking, but to let her know that she wasnât alone. And that it would take just one word from her to make Corpse drop everything and listen to her.Â
After what seemed like an eternity of staring at his phone and analyzing his own messages, Corpse put his phone away, realizing that Y/N wasnât going to reply anytime soon. He couldnât help but feel disappointed in himself, and guilty as well. Perhaps it would be a better idea to call her, but at that moment he wasnât able to trust his own voice. He thought about sending her another message but decided against it. Another new text was probably the last thing she needed, with her phone being drowned by hundreds of notifications from angered, and worried fans.Â
All Corpse could do was hope that she saw his texts and that she knew she wasnât all alone. He sure as hell wasnât going to make her feel as if she was obliged to confide in him. After all, he was a stranger.Â
Then again... sometimes to understand a problem and look at it from a different, new perspective, what one needed was, indeed, a complete stranger.Â
-
The next two hours felt almost like an eternity. And a complete hell to Corpse. He tried his best to focus on the game and interacting with his fans, but no matter what, his eyes would drift towards his phone every now and then. Hoping to see Y/Nâs name pop up on his screen, with a message saying that everything was fine.Â
But then again... would it be enough to calm his nerves? Maybe sheâd write something like that just so he wouldnât worry. Just so he would leave her alone.
She might as well just tell him to fuck off...
The fact that he received so many notifications all the time, especially now, during a stream, didnât really help. Each time his phone lit up with a new notification, he would crane his neck with the hope of seeing Y/Nâs response, only to be disappointed when it turned out to be just some new comment or someone tagging him in an instastory. Something that usually made him really happy now was the reason for his irritation.Â
He couldnât focus on the game itself either, finding it difficult to do his tasks and form some logical arguments during discussions. He didnât really care, to be honest, when people threw him away almost at the start of the game. Winning or being the best Impostor was currently the last thing on his mind.
So when he said his goodbyes after the last round of Among Us and ended the stream, after thanking his fans, Corpse didnât know what to do with himself. The game, even though he didnât really pay much attention to it, provided at least some distraction from his phone, which was still silent when it came to Y/Nâs texts. She either didnât see them or didnât want to see them. Corpse could only guess what was her reaction if there was any.Â
Heâd exchanged a few messages with Sean though, the man asking about Y/N during the stream and after it ended. Corpse couldnât stop the guilt from growing even more when Sean expressed his concerns regarding Y/N and her absence. He knew the older streamer counted on him when it came to checking on the girl, but, obviously, he failed at getting a simple message from her.Â
What was he even hoping to achieve in the first place? That she will text back right away, telling him everything that bothered her, confessing all her problems? He would have to be a total idiot to expect this girl to react to his messages.
It was all so overwhelming and frustrating at the same time that he felt almost nauseous.Â
Leaving his phone in his room, Corpse walked to his small kitchen to grab a glass of water. The cold liquid brought much-needed relief to his burning throat, giving him a momentary sensation of comfort. He tested his voice, clearing his throat carefully and mumbling some nonsense under his breath. A sigh left his lips once he realized he could talk again and this weird feeling disappeared.Â
He splashed his face with cold water and returned to his room, plopping down on his chair and giving his phone a quick glance. Perhaps he didnât expect Y/N to reply to his texts at all because at first, he didnât even notice her name on the screen of his phone. He looked back to his computer, almost out of habit, glancing between the tabs he had opened on his screen before.Â
And it struck him suddenly, making him almost jump out of his skin when he realized that she did text him back.Â
Grabbing his phone quickly, he unlocked it and opened the messages, almost hitting the one with Y/Nâs name on it.Â
âHey, partner.â was all the message said. And yet it made Corpseâs heart almost jump out of his chest, both from relief and a sudden feeling of panic.Â
She texted him back. Now, what the fuck was he supposed to do?!Â
He stared at her text for a second as if trying to convince himself that it was real and he didnât accidentally pass out on his desk, dreaming that Y/N takes his comments and texts seriously.Â
When he came to the conclusion that the text was, indeed, real, and Y/N probably expected him to write something back, he thought about the best way of asking her what happened. On one hand, he knew from Sean what could possibly be the reason for her disappearance. On the other, what obviously mattered was Y/Nâs version. How to get it out of her though, without being too intrusive?
Corpse decided that the best option will be to make some dumb, small talk, which would ease her (and his) nerves.
âYâknow, I almost didnât manage to finish the mission without youâ he texted her, concluding that playing along this partner thing would maybe work. In his text, Corpse referred to the one time he was the Impostor after Y/N left, and which happened to be completely boring without her running around âHad Toast and others suspecting my every step all the time.â
This time, much to his relief, the three little dots appeared almost immediately.
âIâm glad you managed to killâem all nevertheless.â
He imagined her saying it with that sweet voice of hers, which made him snicker, whether he liked it or not. While thinking of some right response, Corpse couldnât help but wonder how did she know that he managed to kill every crewmate during that round... she wasnât playing anymore then, so that could only mean she watched his stream.
âNot gonna lie though, everything would go way smoother hadnât my partner in crime left me on the battlefield all alone :/â he texted her back. Corpse watched intently as the three dots danced next to Y/Nâs name and suddenly disappeared, then appeared back again after a few moments, only to disappear again. And for a second he panicked, that maybe this text sounded passive aggressive, or that it made Y/N blame herself for leaving the game...Â
However, when her response finally came, he realized he was wrong.
âCan I call you, Corpse?âÂ
For the first time in a really long time, Corpse was so eager to agree on a phone call.
He replied frantically, telling her that of course, she could call him, and then waiting impatiently for the call. And when she didnât call immediately, like he expected her to, he found himself wondering if she suddenly changed her mind and decided against the idea of calling him.Â
But then his phone buzzed and her name appeared on the screen.
The device almost flew out of his hands, his heartbeat quickening and a lump forming in his throat once again.
Relax, man. Itâs Y/N, your partner in crime. Youâve heard her voice before.Â
But this was different. The circumstances were different and the reason for a call was different too. And now it was just the two of them, as opposed to a lobby full of friends. And Corpse tried so hard to figure out how to convince her that all the hate she receives on social media didnât mean anything, that for a moment he forgot she was still calling.
He pressed the green button carefully, as if he was defusing a bomb, and found himself unable to utter a single word, just like before. There was silence on the other line too, as if Y/N expected him to speak up first.Â
So Corpse build up the courage and took in a deep breath, before letting out a quiet, almost shy:
âHiâ
 The word left his mouth almost as a whisper, and for a moment he thought that the girl didnât even hear it, but then her voice told him otherwise.
âHey... Corpseâ she mumbled. She sounded so different, almost as if she was sick. Her calm and soft voice was so quiet that Corpse had some trouble hearing her at first. She sounded so tired, so hurt, so defeated, that he completely forgot every advice he had managed to stock in his mind before this call.Â
âItâs good to hear you, partner.â he said after a moment, realizing that asking whatâs wrong wasnât the best thing he could do at that moment. He felt that sheâd probably hung up on him if he did... âI didnât think Iâd hear from you after you aborted the mission.â
He heard her sigh out a laugh at his words, his tone playfully accusatory. The girl cleared her throat and wondered for a second, before replying:
âIt wasnât exactly my mission... And if I remember correctly, you were the one who broke our partnership, chasing me around the ship.âÂ
He could almost hear the smile behind her words, which made his lip corners curl up slightly. He was glad she still managed to joke with him. It meant that, perhaps, it wasnât that bad.Â
âDid I kill you, though?âÂ
âYou would if you had a chance.â
âI had plenty of chances Y/N, and I never took oneâ he replied right away with a chuckle. âI may be the murderer, but Iâm no traitor.â
âYou say that after luring me to that lava pit and killing me and Sykkuno? It was a trap all along, wasnât it?â she asked suspiciously, but he knew she was joking âI bet you were conspiring with MrBeast all this time...â
âHow dare youâ he scoffed, trying to hold back his chuckle âI took you there cause itâs a special place, it was no trap! It just happened to be the wrong place and the wrong time...â
âSure, partnerâ
âIâm serious!â he laughed âBesides - I apologized, and if I remember correctly, I think we both agreed that I jumped into that lava pit for you after all...â
âAfter they voted you off! You didnât have any other chance!â
âMaybe it was all planned?â he said, changing his voice to more mysterious âMaybe I conspired with MrBeast so I could jump into that lava pit... and the only way to do it is by being voted off. So, either way, I kept my word.â
âFine... whatever.â
Their laughter died down and was replaced by surprisingly comfortable silence. Corpse was happy with how the conversation started - he believed it would be easier for Y/N to explain what happened now, if she wished to explain, of course.Â
âYâknow...â he began after a second, deciding to change the subject and finally address the issue. âPartners are supposed to help each other... and be there when the other person is in need...â
He was careful with his words, being full aware that Y/N might find it uncomfortable to share her problems with him. He wanted to encourage her, just slightly, if his previous texts werenât enough.Â
She sighed quietly and he could sense her reluctance.Â
âBut only if the other person wants partnerâs help.â he added after a moment, keeping his voice as soft as he could. Y/N didnât respond right away, but she didnât hang up either, which Corpse took as a good sign. He gave her a couple of seconds to collect her thoughts, before asking another question:Â
âWhat made you so upset, Y/N/N?â
He could hear her inhale the air sharply as if she had trouble breathing steadily. The line went silent, not that Corpse was surprised. He waited patiently, giving the girl the time she needed to decide whether she wanted to answer that question and what words should she choose if she did.Â
And when she finally spoke up, Corpse felt as if his heart could break.
âThey are just so mean...â she almost whispered, her voice cracking. He didnât have to ask whom she meant, it was obvious. âAnd I donât even know why... I didnât do anything to those people, and yet they are so mean towards me.â
Corpse hummed in response, allowing her to keep talking. If there was one thing he knew that helped coping with stress, it was sharing it with someone else. And even though he himself had a lot on his plate, he felt the need to be that someone for Y/N.Â
âI... I donât want you to think that Iâm some crybaby, who takes everything super seriously and canât take a joke, but...â she stuttered for a moment and Corpse fought the urge to cut her off and tell her that what he thinks of her is the complete opposite. âBut those comments... those werenât jokes, Corpse. I donât think anyone would find them funny.â
His heart ached at the sound of her quiet, weak voice. And then it angered him, that some anonymous haters managed to upset this cheerful, innocent person. How could anyone do something like that to Y/N?
âI... Iâm sorry for telling you this...â she suddenly trailed off, sounding rather awkward and uncomfortable. âI shouldnât be bothering you with my silly problems...â
âThey arenât silly as long as they are problems to you, Y/N.âÂ
âYeah, but... Iâm sure everyone from the group has received such comments at some point of their career... or maybe they still receive them...â she murmured almost embarrassed. âMaybe itâs no such a big deal after all...â
âLet me ask you somethingâ Corpse said, feeling anger bubbling up in his stomach. Not directed at Y/N, of course, but at the people who made her think this way. âImagine that someone, letâs say me, calls you because of the same reason. Would you consider telling me that online hate, or any hate for that matter, is not a big deal? That those are just my silly problemsâÂ
She was silent for a moment, thinking about his question, and probably not expecting it in the first place. However, after a few seconds of initial surprise, she replied firmly:
âOf course not.âÂ
âThen why are you trying to convince yourself that they are?â he asked in what would sound like an accusatory tone, but in reality was just his voice laced with worry. âThereâs no such thing as a silly problem Y/N, as long as it bothers you. If you consider it a problem, then it is a problem. And the fact that other people receive similar, or even worse comments, doesnât mean anything. Maybe just that they are longer on Youtube and theyâve learned to deal with this kind of stuff... And your reaction? It doesnât make you a crybaby and please Y/N, donât ever think that way about yourself.â
He said it all so quickly and almost on one breath, letting all his frustration out and trying to form his babbling into some logical statement.Â
âI understand what youâre going through...â he confessed after a moment of silence between them. âI know what itâs like to go through the ocean of positive comments and find those few which say something completely different... something that is meant to hurt you and humiliate you... Something that ruins your day, or even a couple of next few days or weeks... Something that completely overshadows everything else youâve read about yourself. Something that people write from the safety of their own computers or phones, without showing their faces and remaining completely anonymous.â
For a moment, Corpse allowed himself to speak about his own experience, thinking that maybe when Y/N realizes that he knew exactly what she was dealing with, it would make it easier for her. âAnd that is the key fact, Y/N, that they are anonymous. They do what they do because no one can see them because it is comfortable for them to leave a hate comment and not face any consequences. Because they donât have to face the person their hate is directed towards.â
âSome of the accounts were not anonymous...â Y/N mumbled, and Corpse could clearly hear that she was speaking through the tears. âPeople were using their public accounts, with photos and everything...â
âBut let me guess, those comments werenât even about your videos, huh? They werenât about any of your work?âÂ
âWell...â she whispered, thinking about Corpseâs question. âTruth to be said, no. Most of them just looked like some kind of a personal attack on me...âÂ
âExactly. Itâs not even criticism, itâs just plain bullshit cowards are sharing online. They probably arenât even able to form some logical sentence, they just combine some random words which are supposed to hurt you.â
âIt works...â
âY/N...â Corpse sighed into the phone, hearing her defeated tone. âLet me ask you another question, okay?â she hummed in response, and Corpse cleared his throat. âTell me, whose opinion matters to you the most?â
âMy friends... and my fansââshe said.
âOkay.. and whom do you consider your fan?â
âSomeone who finds the content I create interesting and entertaining and takes his time to watch my videos.â she replied right away.
âOkay. Do you think that people who left those comments took their time to even watch your videos?âÂ
âProbably not...â she replied after a second. âLook, I know what you mean Corpse... That I shouldnât worry about it because they are not my fans and therefore their opinion shouldnât matter... but thatâs not the case. Itâs the fact alone that for some reason people spend their time hating me when I didnât even do anything to them.â
âYou didnât do anything to them.â Corpse repeated her own words in his deep voice. âAnd they didnât watch your videos. It seems like they donât have any reason to leave those comments, right?â he asked. âI know that itâs hard Y/N, I really do, but the truth is, you canât really have everyone leaving positive feedback under your content... There will always be someone who will consider it a good idea to send you a hateful message, just because they can, not because they have any specific reason to. Now I donât say thatâs okay... but itâs in a way like some disease. The one thereâs no cure for. Even though you canât cure it, you can make yourself immune.âÂ
âHow, Corpse? How do you make yourself immune to messages saying that youâre a fucking annoying bitch, that you donât deserve what you have? That you donât deserve your friends, and you are not good enough to play with them? To spend your time with them? How do you deal with comments suggesting that you should go and kill yourself, because youâre not famous enough, and you will never be?âÂ
Her voice suddenly rose, and Corpse felt as his heartbeat quickened with each comment she described. He gripped his hand around the phone, his knuckles turning white and his brows furrowing in an expression of pure fury.Â
He considered her words for a moment, trying to come up with the best advice, but realized there wasnât any that would satisfy her. He could imagine the state she was in, she probably wouldnât take any of his advice seriously. And he wouldnât blame her for that.Â
âIâm sorry for snapping on you...â she suddenly said, her voice back to its soft tone. âItâs just too much for me to handle...â
âItâs all good, Y/N, donât apologize. You have the full right to be angry and to show it. I just want you to remember that...â Corpse gulped the lump in his throat, feeling his cheeks getting warmer. âThose comments are not what define you. As a matter of fact, theyâre not even about you. You know why? Because people who write them donât know you. They donât even take a moment to acknowledge what an intelligent and talented person you are, not to mention how kind... but I do. A-and everyone else too.â
She was silent for a moment, and Corpse panicked, that maybe he said too much, or made things awkward again. But then she spoke up, her slightly less weak than before.
âI suppose... maybe youâre right, Corpse.â she said, still sounding a little bit unconvinced. He understood, it was clear his one pep talk wouldnât suddenly make her forget about it. It would be like telling a person with depression to stop having depression and expecting them to suddenly feel better. âThank you. For listening to my pathetic babbling... and for not telling me to just pull myself together.â
âFirst of all, your babbling is not pathetic...â he began âSecond of all... I know we donât really know each other, but... If you ever feel the need to talk to someone, Iâm here.â
âAnd for that Iâm grateful, Corpseâ she said, clearly smiling. âSorry, I mean, partner.â
âPartner.â he chuckled into the phone, smiling from ear to ear.Â
âItâs getting late...â she yawned into the phone. âSorry. I think Iâll go to sleep, Iâm really tired...â
âOf courseâ Corpse replied, hiding the disappointment in his voice. He really enjoyed talking to her, just to her alone, but he understood that the whole conversation and the event preceding it probably exhausted her.Â
âHey...â she suddenly said, and Corpse could swear that her voice sounded as if she unexpectedly became shy. âUm... it was really great talking to you, youâre a really good listener, Corpse.â
âGlad to hear thatâ he smiled happily.
âUm... would you mind if I called you tomorrow too?â she asked so quietly that he almost didnât catch it, his breath hitching in his throat. âIf you have time that is... if you donât, or if you have some super plans, then I understand, itâs fine-â
âI donât have any super plans, Y/Nâ he couldnât help but chuckle, finding her nervous banter adorable. âCall me whenever you want.â
âOkay...â she sighed, almost in relief, but Corpse didnât want to point it out to embarrass her even more. âSo... letâs say, around 2 pm?âÂ
âSounds good to me.â
âGreat.â she said, her voice trailing off a bit. âIâm falling asleep here, Corpse... Thank you once again, for everything.â
âAnytime, Y/N.â
âGood night, partner.â
âGoodnight, partner.âÂ

PURE [3] - Corpse Husband x Fem! Reader
A/N: Over 1 thousand notes. You guys are insane. I canât see any other explanation.
Thank you so much for all the love and support under the previous parts, all those comments just absolutely made my day! I would never expect this story to receive such a positive feedback, which Iâm extremely grateful for!Â
Anyway, I decided to add some additional plot to this story - mainly, the sudden criticism and hate directed on Y/N after the last Among Us stream. I thought it would make things more interesting.
That being said, I hope you enjoy the third part ^^

part 5
PURE [3]
Y/N stared at her phone screen, reading through the latest tweets of her friends inviting their fans to watch their streams. It was Thursday evening and just as it was planned, everyone was getting ready for another game of Among Us. Just as she would do if it wasnât for all those comments...
The last stream caused sudden, unexpected amounts of attention on her social media. She probably shouldnât be that surprised by it, given the fact that by appearing in Seanâs and Felixâs videos she wasnât all that strange to their fans. But people who watched Rae, Toast, or Corpseâs streams didnât know her. And apparently, some of them werenât that happy to see a new face among the group of well-known gamers.Â
She always tried to avoid the unnecessary spotlight as much as she could, preferring to stay hidden somewhere behind other, much more popular streamers. And it never bothered her. She was never one to enjoy too much attention anyway.
Thatâs why when she discovered how upset, or even angry, some people were when she played with all those famous streamers, she was quite shocked, to say the least.Â
Like all those comments under Pokiâs tweet, in which she mentioned whoâs gonna be playing this time...
âDuh, whyâs that Y/N chick supposed to play with them again? There are at least hundreds of other, much more popular streamers I can think of who would be better than her.â
âWho the fuck is she anyway? Whyâs she there?â
âlmao, some random girl who got lucky enough to know jacksepticeye. Donât get why sheâs playing with them though.â
âNOT HER AGAIN. I SWEAR TO GOD SHE WAS SO FUCKING ANNOYING LAST TIMEâ
Sure, she wasnât as famous as Felix, or Sean, or Rae, or anyone else for that matter. Her audience wasnât very small, but it was nothing compared to the number of fans other YouTubers had. It was understandable that most people didnât know who she was, and didnât understand why she was there in the first place.
She was, in fact, just some random girl who was lucky to have Sean as her friend. But in a group of such great and well-known streamers, she definitely stood out like a sore thumb.Â
Y/N almost jumped in her seat when her phone beeped with a new message, Seanâs nickname showing up at the top of her screen.Â
Jackaboy:Â Weâre starting in a few kiddo
Jackaboy:Â But join the call now so we can both make fun of Felix
After the last game, she was so excited and couldnât wait for this evening. She looked forward to cooperating with Sykkuno again, to arguing with Toast, to laughing with Sean and Felix, to murdering other people with Corpse... Yet now, all this excitement seemed to vanish just like the mood to play, let alone talk with other people. They would surely see right through her and try to make her spill the beans, which would ruin the stream. And the last thing she wanted was to ruin their game.
Jackaboy:Â You there Y/N??
She sighed, thinking of some believable excuse that wouldnât arouse suspicion, but her mind was flooded with all those comments and DMs she received over those past days, which expressed nothing but hatred towards her.Â
Y/N:Â Iâm really sorry Sean, but I donât think I will be joining you today... I donât feel very well.Â
She waited for Seanâs reply impatiently, expecting him to send her some angry emoji or tell her to move her ass and join the discord call. What she didnât expect though, was that he would facetime her.Â
Her first instinct was to throw her phone across the room as if it would make Sean stop calling. He wouldnât stop unless sheâd tell him the truth.Â
So she cleared her throat and plastered the widest smile on her face, before answering his call.
âAlright, what is going on?â Sean asked right away, staring at her with his brows furrowed. He wasnât in his recording room, but in his kitchen, which meant that he left his stream to call her. âAnd please donât tell me youâre sick cause I wonât believe it anyway. And neither will Pewds.â
âIâm tired, Sean... I was working late again and I really need to rest.â she lied, trying to keep her voice steady and calm. She really didnât want Sean to interrogate her now, not when his fans were waiting for him. âIâm sure youâll find someone else though. Please tell the guys that Iâm sorryâ
âY/N, câmon, cut this bullshit. Whatâs wrong?â he asked softly, moving his phone closer to his face. âYou know youâre a terrible liar, just tell me what happened. If you donât wanna play then neither do I.â
âSean, please donât do itâ she shook her head with a sigh. âYour fans are waiting for you, Iâll be fine.â
âWell theyâre waiting for you too you dummy, I already promised them youâll be playing with us tonightâ he stated matter of factly, rolling his eyes. Y/N remained silent for a moment, and Sean suddenly furrowed his brows, narrowing his eyes at her in a suspicious look. âDid someone tell you something rude last time we played? Who and what?â
âWhat? No, Sean, oh my God. Everyone was super nice, it has nothing to do with the last stream... not with you guys, at least.â she mumbled under her breath, dropping her eyes from Seanâs confused face.
âWhat do you mean not with you guys? Y/N, what the hell happened?â he demanded, slowly getting more and more worried. She wouldnât tell him though, too scared that Sean would just laugh it off, even though he also sometimes had problems with dealing with hate. And just as if he was reading her mind, Sean sighed, his face softening in a sad smile. âYouâve read the comments, didnât you?â
She felt so stupid for being so easily offended by comments of some random people on the Internet, that she just nodded her head meekly, still looking anywhere but at the man.Â
âLook kiddo... Iâm not gonna tell you to get yourself together and just ignore them, cause it wonât help, and I know cause Iâve been there. Hell, Iâm still there.â he chuckled to himself and continued âAnyway, you really shouldnât be worrying yourself about people who donât even know you. They donât know you, Y/N, why would some complete strangerâs opinion matter to you?â
âThey said I shouldnât be playing with you guys... that Iâm nothing but a burden and you should be playing with someone whoâs at least recognizable.â
âWell excuse me Miss, last time I checked I could choose who the fuck I want to play with.â Sean scoffed, clearly irritated by such comments âYouâre one of my best friends Y/N and I donât give a fuck what some haters say. And neither should you.â
âMaybe you should just invite someone else... It would make everyone happy.â she muttered almost inaudibly, but Sean almost barked at her when he heard her words.
âI told you to cut that bullshit, Y/N! Everyone couldnât wait for this game and now you wanna back out? Câmon, kid. Do you have any idea how heartbroken Sykkunoâs gonna be? When you left so quickly last time, he kept complaining that he has no one to team up with.â she couldnât help but smile at that, letting out a tiny giggle. âAnd Corpse? Have you even seen his last tweet?â
âWhat? No, I- I donât follow him...â she said, wondering what Sean was talking about. She quickly searched for Corpse on Twitter, still being on facetime with Sean, and her heart almost dropped when she saw the last tweet.
@.Corpse_Husband Really excited for tonightâs Among Us stream, 8PM PST.
Jacksepticeye
Valkyrae
Pewdiepie
Pokimane
Sykkuno
Disguised ToastÂ
LogicÂ
Mr Beast
and, hopefully, my partner in crime - Little Y/NÂ
:)
She stared at the screen with her eyes widened, and her lips corners curling up in a small, bashful smile. It was so nice of Corpse to mention her as well, especially with the nickname that he seemed to like so much since their last game.Â
âGod, if you could see yourself right now. Howâs it that my pep talk didnât do shit, but Corpseâs tweet magically made you smile, ugh.â Sean reminded her of his presence, and she quickly returned to the call, trying to somehow control her burning cheeks.Â
âItâs not like that, Sean, I really appreciate that youâre trying to cheer me up... I just didnât expect your friends to like me...â she admitted quietly, and if Sean could, he would probably strangle her at that moment.Â
âI JUST TOLD YOU THAT SYKKUNO KEPT BUGGING ME ABOUT YOU FOR TWO FUCKING HOURS. YOU THINK HE WOULD TALK ABOUT YOU IF HE DIDNâT LIKE YOU?!â
âI just... what if theyâre just being nice, but they donât actually want me to play with them?â
âIâm done.â Sean groaned, shaking his head furiously. âAlright, hereâs what youâre gonna do. You stay away from your phone, join the discord call, say hi to everyone, and weâre all gonna have fun, okay? If not, Pewds is gonna murder you, cause he was already growing impatient even before I called you.â
âIâm still not sure if thatâs a good idea, Sean...â
âBut I am sure, Y/N! Now come on, weâre playing in five. Iâm telling everyone youâre joining as well.â
And before she could even reply, he hung up. Y/N groaned, rushing to her computer to turn it on. Now it would just be plain rude not to join the game, especially after Sean wasted his time talking with her, while he should be talking to his fans. Just as he suggested, she kept her phone far away from her desk, deciding to stay away from Twitter and all those comments for a bit. Maybe it would help her clear her mind and at least try to have some fun.Â
An invite to the group call was already waiting for her, along with a message from Sean with a code to the game. Y/N put her headphones on before joining the call and quickly typing in the code.Â
â... so let me repeat myself. I ALWAYS sound guilty, no matter what. Please, guys, donât vote me out!âÂ
Y/N shook her head with a smile on her lips when the first thing she heard after joining the call was Felixâs pleading voice. Clearly, he was already trying to save his own ass even before the game began.
 Y/N could hear Seanâs loud voice as he commented on Felixâs plea with some snarky remark, later also catching the sounds of Raeâs laughter. Everyone was already there, theyâve been clearly waiting for her to join.Â
âHey, look whoâs finally here! Hi Y/N!â Poki noticed her presence first.Â
âHello everyoneâ Y/N said, as shy and quiet as usual.
âOh, Y/N! Itâs so great to see you again, I was worried you werenât joining us tonightâ Sykkuno said, a pout clear in his voice.Â
âWELL ABOUT DAMN TIMEâ Felix all but yelled, making her roll her eyes with a smile. âWhat did I tell you about being late?!â
âGive her a break Felix, her mic wasnât working again... Luckily, I was there to save the damsel in distressâ Sean said, and even though she couldnât see him, Y/N was almost certain that he was smirking.Â
âYeah, Iâm really sorry guys to have kept you waiting so long...â Y/N said, feeling genuinely bad. Maybe Sean was right after all? They could have just invited someone else, and yet they decided to wait for her. Â
âItâs okay, youâre here now and itâs all that mattersâ a deep voice sounded out, and whether she liked it or not, Y/N grinned like an idiot with a blush rising up her cheeks.Â
âShit, here we go again...â Felix sighed, making everyone else laugh. Y/N bit at her lower lip, feeling her heart thump in her chest as she felt a sudden wave of courage, deciding to speak up despite her initial shyness:
âWell... I couldnât just leave my partner in crime alone, right?â she asked, and she could swear she heard Corpse stutter as if he completely didnât expect her to say that. Â
âAh yes, after all, killing wouldnât be the same without her, right Corpse?â Toast teased, repeating Corpseâs words from the last stream. Everyone in the call laughed, Y/N included. She couldnât stop herself from smiling, even though just mere minutes ago she was on the verge of crying. âItâs good to have you here, Y/N/N. Maybe Iâll actually get a chance to finally kill you this time.â
âJesus Christ, Toast. You sound like a psychopath. Hey, Iâm happy youâre here, lemme stab you in the back, please?â someone whose nickname was MrBeast spoke up with a chuckle, before directing his next words to Y/N âI believe we havenât played together before, Iâm Mr Beast, itâs really nice to meet you Y/Nâ
âYeah, pleased to meet you!â another player, Logic, spoke up âI also didnât have a chance to play with you yet, but Iâve seen Seanâs last stream... Let me just say, that Toast murder was absolutely perfect!âÂ
âWow. And here I almost managed to block it out. Iâm fucking traumatized Y/N, you should be ashamed of yourselfâ Toast scoffed over Felixâs laughter.Â
âYou should be proud of yourself!â Sean interfered âJust so you know lads, Y/N may seem like a little angel, but sheâs a little demon. Youâve been warned.âÂ
âYeah, sheâll charm you with her voice only to snap your neck next second.â Felix scoffed.
âJust like she did with Corpse!âÂ
âCharm?!â Y/N gasped, her cheeks burning.
âI donât recall Y/N killing me...â Corpse said in his low voice.Â
âI love how thatâs the only thing he deniedâ Poki pointed out in a teasing voice, which only made Y/N sink further into her chair.Â
âCan we please start the game now?â she asked in a pleading voice, hoping that everyone would stop making fun of Corpse and her. She could only imagine how uncomfortable he felt, for some reason being the target of their jokes... They mustâve made him feel awkward, right?Â
âJack, did you tell Y/N how weâre playing tonight?â Sykkuno asked, and she sighed in relief that they dropped the jokes.Â
âOh, right! So thereâs this mod called proximity chat, where weâre able to hear each other as we pass by another person, and it seems quite fun so thatâs what we decided to try out tonight.â Sean explained to Y/N, and before she could ask another question, he added âIâve just sent you the link, itâll take a minute to install it.â
âOh, okay. Thank you Seanâ Y/N said, before downloading the mod and quickly installing it. When everything was set and ready, she pulled up Among Us again and typed in the code, and the game finally began.Â
âWoahâ
âHoly shit!âÂ
âGuys this is so cool!â Sykkuno exclaimed, his voice so happy and excited that Y/N couldnât help but giggle.Â
âOkay, Iâm scared now. I feel like encounters with Imposter are just gonna be perfectly cut screamsâ Felix chuckled, as they left the dropship and moved down the map. Thatâs when Y/N gasped in surprise, upon seeing the locations completely different than those she was used to.
âWait- is that a different map?â she asked through her mic, hearing Toastâs distanced, devilish laugh. There was only Rae and Sykkuno beside her, as everyone else have already split up to do their tasks.
âOh yeah, thatâs Polus, itâs much more fun than the one we were playing in last time.â Rae explained happily and Y/N groaned. She didnât know that map.
âGreat. I donât even know how am I supposed to do tasks in here...â
âOh, itâs not that hard. Theyâre in most cases similar to those you already know, they only look a little bit different.â Sykkuno said in his kind voice, before asking âDo you want to team up again, Y/N?â
âI thought you would never ask Sykkunoâ Rae chuckled under her breath.
âYeah, that would be great! I need someone to show me aroundâ she smiled. The trio finally moved from their spot beside the dropship and went to the left where, as Y/N later realized, was electrical. She quickly did her task in there, being under the watchful eyes of both Sykkuno and Rae. Â
Before the latter could do his own task, the first body was reported.
âThe body is in the labâ Felix said, and Y/N couldnât help but smirk as she saw that it was Toast who was murdered first. One less person to accuse her or try to frame her, if he was the Imposter.Â
âI just ran towards the lab from the left side, I only saw Poki on my way thereâ Corpse said right away, and the accused girl was quick to try and defend herself:
âOkay, I wasnât in the lab, I was doing that engines task which is next to the lab.âÂ
âDid you see someone else there?â Jack questioned.Â
âNope, just me and the engines.âÂ
âOkay. Sykkuno, where are you?â the lime astronaut was next on Jackâs list of suspects, which made Sykkuno groan.Â
âWhy do you sound so suspicious right away?â he asked in disbelief, causing the rest to giggle âI was with Y/N and Rae all this time, we were all doing our tasks in electrical.â
âIs that true Y/N?â
âYes Sean, that is trueâ she rolled her eyes with a laugh âI donât even know this map, I have to stick with someone so I donât end up like Toast.â
âAlright, what about rest? Logic? I think I saw you in admin but then you disappeared somewhere.â Felix said.
âYeah Iâm with Mr Beast in the officeâ
âThatâs rightâ Mr Beast confirmed, which didnât bring anything new to the investigation, so everyone decided to skip.
âWo- Okay where are we now?â Y/N asked in surprise, when the new round began in some completely new place Sykkuno didnât manage to show her yet. She could hear as Corpse laughed at her shocked voice, which made her smile widely.
âYeah, Iâm also not used to this new map yetâ he admitted, his black astronaut walking up to her white one âHey, wanna see something cool?â
âSure!â
-
*Meanwhile Sykkuno*
âOkay this is bad guys, we lost Y/Nâ Sykkuno said to his mic, running around the map to find the girl he was earlier teamed up with. âI thought she followed us when the new round began, but she mustâve gone the other way... What if sheâs dead already? Not good, not good...âÂ
-
"Woah! This looks amazing! Is there some task here as well?â
âYes, thereâs temperature recording right hereâ Corpse said, standing by the lava pit, watching as Y/Nâs character ran back and forth over the pool of lava.Â
âI wonder if you could jump into it. What do you think, Corpse?â she asked curiously, standing close to the edge.Â
âNot that Iâm aware of it...â he mumbled coming closer to the edge as well âWhy would you jump into it?â he asked with a half-smile on his face.Â
âSo Felix canât stab me in the back.â she whispered, even though there was no one around them.Â
âYou think itâs him?â Corpse mirrored her voice, and she hummed in response âWhy?â
âHeâs constantly suspicious of everyone, last time we played he also kept interrogating us all, without even telling his own location.â she stated as if it was very obvious. Corpse couldnât help but let out a laugh âWhat? Why are you laughing at me?â
âNot at you, Y/N. Iâm just impressed by your investigation skillsâ he admitted âIn that case, we better both jump in. Felix likes to frame other people.â
âYou wanna jump into the lava with me?â
âSure I do.â
âThere you are!â Sykkunoâs lime astronaut came out of nowhere, followed by Mr Beast. Two of them walked up to Y/N and Corpse, and before the latter could even say anything, Mr Beast snapped Y/Nâs neck.
âWAIT, NO-â
âOH GOD, OH GODâ Sykkuno yelled in panic.
âKILL HIM CORPSEâ Mr Beast screamed, frantically running around.
-
âWhat the heck?â Y/N stared at her screen in shock, her dead body laying over the lava pit. Mr Beast had already fled to the left, leaving her, Sykkuno and Corpse standing between two of them. None of them said anything for a moment before the black astronaut finally spoke up.
âIâm sorry. Iâm so sorry. Iâm so fucking sorry, Y/Nâ he kept repeating, regret clear in his voice. âAnd Sykkuno, I- I canât even express how-â
He was cut off by Felixâs scream, who reported the bodies before Corpse could kill him as well.
âITâS CORPSE ALRIGHTâ Felix yelled right away âHEâS STANDING OVER Y/N AND SYKKUNO, HE HAS THEIR BLOOD ON HIS HANDSâ
âThat is- I did not kill themâ Corpse replied, calm as ever, as opposed to his frantic apologies.Â
âThen why were you standing there?! Without reporting the bodies?!â
âI was... mourning their death.â he replied, which caused the whole group to burst out laughing. âSeriously guys, you think I would murder Sykkuno? And Y/N? I would never even think of hurting them.â
âThe simp is strong, we get it, but it doesnât really save your situationâ Rae laughed.Â
âLetâs kick him out guys, he canât even defend himselfâ Sean chuckled, and everyone else didnât need to be told twice. Soon enough, Y/N watched as Corpseâs black astronaut was thrown into the lava pit... Oh, the irony...
The game continued with her wandering around the map, doing the rest of her tasks to at least support somehow her fellow crewmates. She stumbled upon Corpseâs ghost at some point and laughed wholeheartedly when he started circling her little character in something she read as an attempt to apologize.Â
A little while later another body was reported, this time it was Felix who lost his life. Y/N didnât really focus on the conversation this time, glancing at her phone instead. There was this urge to reach for it and check how people reacted to her joining the game, but she kept repeating Seanâs words in her head. There was no point in worrying about the opinion of somebody who doesnât even know her... or at least thatâs what she tried to convince herself to think.Â
Her attention was brought back to the game when she heard the sound of a new message from someone who was also dead. She clicked on the chat, seeing that it was one of the Impostors.
Corpse:Â :(
Corpse:Â Iâm sorryÂ
Y/N thought it was sweet of him to apologize for it, even though it was his main goal to murder everyone after all. She believed he was genuinely sorry for it, just like she was each time she was an Impostor and had to kill somebody.
Sykkuno:Â Welcome to the afterlife, Corpse!
She laughed at Sykkunoâs constant happiness, which was evident even in his messages, before typing one as well:
Y/N:Â Weâre all corpse here
Sykkuno:Â Oh, so it means weâre all really cool then ^^
Y/N:Â Fair point
Corpse:Â See Y/N
Corpse:Â I told you I would jump into the lava for youÂ
Y/N:Â You didnât exactly jump...
Corpse:Â :(
Y/N:Â But letâs say it counts as well :)
Corpse:Â :)
Before they knew, the voting ended. Mr Beast was thrown into the lava, which ultimately lead to the victory of crewmates. Y/N cheered happily, when the blue sign appeared on her screen, right above everyone else who was innocent.Â
âYaaay, the first time I wasnât killed in the first game!â Sean announced enthusiastically, his astronaut running around the dropship.
âYeah, and the first time it went so fast...âÂ
âRight? Corpse, Iâm disappointed in you. What happened to the King of Impostors?â Rae asked.
âWell.. no matter how good you are, you canât always win, right?â Corpse replied calmly.
âHmm, you seemed kinda absent-minded during the game, though...â Poki suggested with a smirk hiding in her voice, and Rae was very quick to pick on it.
âOh, youâve noticed that too? Almost as if he was distracted by somethingâÂ
âI donât know what are you talking aboutâ he chuckled nervously, and Y/N just sat in her chair confused about what was going on. âAnyway, whoâs up for another round?âÂ
âYeah, I have an ideaâ Sean said, effectively shutting everyone up âWhat if we play something along the lines of hide and seek? Letâs have one impostor, and everyone else needs to get their tasks done before he finds them.â
âThat is...â Felix took in a dramatic breath âTHE BEST THING IâVE EVER HEARD ABOUTâ
âYeah, I think it will be funâ Sykkuno replied.Â
âIt sounds really cool, but letâs maybe tell whoâs the impostor? I think it would be more fairâ Rae suggested.Â
âI think itâs a good ideaâ Sean concluded, before changing the settings for one impostor only. Y/N waited patiently for the game to begin, and when she saw that she was a crewmate again, she sighed in relief. Only to gasp in a panic a second later...
âItâs me.â
Everyone stumbled out of the dropship as Corpse admitted that heâs the impostor. It seemed that knowing exactly who can murder everyone made the whole game a little bit terrifying...
âI donât know where the heck Iâm goingâ Y/N mumbled to herself with a nervous laugh when instead of doing her tasks, she searched for the perfect place to hide. When she entered security, she spotted Mr Beast fixing the wires, so she decided to join him.
âOH SHIT- god damn it, you scared me to death!â he all but yelled when she appeared next to him, doing her tasks.Â
âSorryâ she giggled, quickly finishing the wires, before speeding out of the room. On her way to weapons, she stumbled across Felixâs dead body, and could hear some screaming in the background... but didnât recognize who was murdered next.Â
Y/N managed to do most of her tasks without meeting Corpse, whom she hoped not to see probably for the first time since they played together. She was just leaving decontamination when she heard Seanâs panicked laughter:
â...tee, bitches love me?â
âWrong.â Corpseâs voice almost made her squeak in surprise, only to really scream when he suddenly snapped Seanâs neck.Â
âRetreat, retreat!â Y/N laughed as she sped past oblivious Rae and Logic, Corpse hot on her tail. She quickly returned to the decontamination room, hoping to flee from her inevitable death, when Corpseâs black astronaut walked in, and the door closed.Â
âPlease donât kill meâ she chuckled, even though there was no hope for her.Â
âFinish my lyrics, and Iâll let you live...â he began, and Y/N furrowed her brows in confusion â I spilt wine...â
âWait- what lyrics? You sing?â she asked, completely dumbfounded. Corpse was silent for a moment as if he didnât understand her, before bursting out laughing âWhatâs so funny again? Corpse, come on!âÂ
âYes, Y/N, I do sing, I was actually hoping youâve heard some of my songs...â he admitted, still chuckling to himself. She felt a blush rising up her cheeks.
âOh- I- I didnât, I-... but I will, okay? Iâll do it right away!â she promised, quickly jumping up to grab her phone and listen to Corpseâs song. She was genuinely shocked, she would never expect him to sing!Â
 She unlocked her phone with a wide, somehow nervous smile on her face, which, however, dropped the moment she saw her notifications. Hundreds of notifications.Â
âYou there, Y/N?â Corpseâs voice reached her after a moment, when she still didnât say anything, just kept looking at her screen. âI hope my music isnât so bad that you passed out from listening to it...â
She could feel the tears welling up in her eyes, her phone gripped tightly in her shaking hands.
âUm, Y/N?â his voice became more worried now âIs everything okay?âÂ
Y/N cleared her throat and quickly wiped her eyes, closing them for a moment to steady her breathing.
âYeah, all good Corpseâ she forced herself to smile, so her voice wouldnât sound weird. âLook, um, I need to leave, can you tell the others bye from me?âÂ
âIs something wrong?â Corpse asked confused.
âNo, of course not!â she laughed through her tears âSomething just came up and I really need to leave.â
âYou sure youâre-â
âBye Corpse. It was nice playing with you.âÂ

A/N: I hope you guys are not too disappointed in me... It didnât turn out as I initially thought it would. Isnât it too dramatic? And is this hate plot fine? Or is it not? What do guys you think?Â

Pure is so great!! I just found it while scrolling through tags. The way the scenes are written is so beautiful and crafted so well!! Can't wait for a possible part 3!!
Thank you so much, I am really happy to hear you like it! As for part 3, Iâve already started writing it a few days ago, but I canât promise itâll be published anytime soon. Iâm struggling with it a lil bit if Iâm being completely honest, but I donât want to force the writing. However, Iâll try my best to post it sometime next week ^^

Thank you so so so much!!! It really means a lot, I am so happy that you like it! And yes, Iâm definitely going to write another part, this time more focused on interactions instead of the game ^^
