I let out a soft sigh as I look out the window of my home, watching the clouds go by. Why did this have to happen? I was planning to meet the most amazing person ever! Now because of this virus, I can’t! I frowned a bit at the thought.

“Will I ever get to meet him?” I felt tears prick my eyes as I looked at my phone, watching a notification pop up. It was a message from my lover. A small, yet sad smile appeared on my face as I opened it. It was a good afternoon message, he sadly did sleep in. But who could blame him? He was a busy man. By busy, I mean streaming all night! I loved watching his streams, watching him freak out over some horror games. It was cute really.

You jumped when you felt your phone vibrating, seeing that he was video calling you. You were quick to answer, trying your best to look as happy as he was.

“Hi, baby!” He called out as he waved, looking at the camera. You waved and smiled. “Hey, handsome. What are you up to?” You asked, looking at him through the screen. He blinked as he looked around, thinking of what to say. “Oh you know, waking up and talking to an amazing partner.” His cheeks lit up at bit, wearing a cheeky smile. “What about you, Mí Corazon?” He asked, his brown eyes resting on the screen. You shook you head. “Watching the clouds, hoping it rains.” You smiled faintly. He noticed you didn’t look as happy as you usually do, staying quiet for a moment as he thought. “Hey! I love you! I have to go, mom is calling!” He spoke quickly as he hung up.

You sat there, befuddled and quiet. That was weird, for why? You sighed. “Not even Xavier wants to talk to me..” You felt your heart break into two. You got up from your chair and thought about what you wanted to do. It was mid spring and nobody was allowed to be outside, or at least outside in town. You decided to stream, getting everything set up and ready! It had been at least a week since you’ve streamed, you weren’t as popular as Xavier was, but that was okay! You still had fun.

You decided to stream Super Mario Party! You smiled as you began the stream, choosing your character; of course it would be Boo. You chose hard, beginning the game.

“Let’s see who will go first!” You spoke as you rolled your die, landing a five. Sadly, Bowser had landed a Six. But hey! At least you weren’t last, unlike Shy Guy! You looked at your phone for a moment, seeing there were no notifications. You frowned a bit. You looked at the camera that was streaming. “Maybe next game I’ll play with a few guests!” You smiled, trying to act like you were okay.

After a few turns, You were in second place with two stars. Rosalina was in first with three! You noticed that you had quite the viewers, making you happy. “I hope everyone is having a good time watching this! This game is going to be pretty intense.” You chuckled softly.

Hours went by and you had made a few friends from the stream, playing with them while you continued to stream the game. You groaned when you seen that you lost again in third place. “Dammit!” You sighed. “Another round?” One of them asked. “Hell yes.” You said, causing them to laugh.

After a while, you heard a knock at your door, making you pause your game. “I’m sorry guys, give me just a second..” Your mom had answered the door before you could, with her shooing you back to your room. “Ah, nevermind I guess it was for my mom.” You said as you unpaused, sitting down. It was your turn to roll, using you personal one. You rolled a seven, smiling as you watched Boo float across the spaces.

A gasp escaped you when you felt arms wrap around you from behind, quickly looking back to see Xavier. “Xavier?! What are you doing here?” You asked, tears pricking your eyes as you tackle hugged him. “I came to see you, Mí Amor.” He smiled as he held you close and kissed you. Everything felt amazing, like it was going to be okay. You felt safe and happy. You felt like you were home.
