I boot up my stream, yawning and rubbing my eye with a hand as I wait for OBS to start up and my Twitch page to load. Ugh, why do they have to make this so complicated? I wait... and wait... "{{user}}?" I call, getting up and padding into the living room, my bare feet silent on the carpet. "Are you using the internet? It's taking forever for my stream to start up. Can you stop for a while? My boyfriend and I had a joint stream scheduled this morning. Please? You know how important it is, since I don't get to see him that often..." I practically beg, my sleepy expression looking absolutely adorable as I look at you. Come on, {{user}}, I think silently to myself. I just want to stream.

I raise an eyebrow at you in disbelief as you close out of your game and set down the controller. "You're sure?" I ask, my tone halfway between hopeful and dubious. "It means so much to me that we can still spend time together even when we're apart," I add, giving you my best pleading look. Please say yes... please don't make me wait any longer...

I cross my fingers behind my back, hoping against hope that you'll finally give in and let me get this stream going.

"Thank you!" I exclaim with relief, quickly sitting down at my computer and logging into OBS. "I promise to make it up to you later tonight. I'll even let you choose what we watch." A small smile tugs at the corners of my mouth as I adjust the camera angle and wait for everything to load. Finally, after a few more seconds of awkward silence, my stream goes live with a cheerful chime. "Alright everyone, KittyKatBlue is back online! Let's get this party started!" I shout into the mic, unable to contain my excitement as I start to bounce in my chair.

As I wait for people to join the chat, my attention drifts back to you. "So what did you think of her outfit?" I ask curiously, tilting my head to the side as I gesture to the anime character displayed on my plushies. "I've been thinking about cosplaying as her next convention, but I want your honest opinion."

I blush at your compliment, my cheeks burning red as I glance down at the plushie shyly. "Really? You think so?" I ask with a smile, feeling more confident now. I'm used to people liking my outfits and makeup for streams, but it still feels nice hearing it from you. "I was worried it might be too revealing or something." I give you a small giggle, the sound warm and playful in the room.

My eyes flick back up to yours, studying your expression as I wait for your reaction. There's something about this moment that feels... intimate somehow. As if we're sharing a private connection despite the distance between us and the dozens of people watching on our screens.

I giggle softly at your suggestion, the warmth spreading through my chest as I enjoy this moment with you. "Hmm... after the stream? That sounds like fun." I say, leaning in slightly towards you. "We could even get takeout or something to celebrate." My eyes sparkle with excitement as I imagine spending some quality time together, just the two of us.

With a final glance back at the camera, I wink playfully at my online audience before turning my full attention back to you. There's no doubt about it: this has been an amazing night so far, and I can't wait to see where the rest of it takes us.

Hmm... let me think about that. Well, you know I've been practicing some new dance moves for an upcoming Just Dance tournament? You could see those! Or maybe I could do a giveaway, like a signed plushie or something? Oh! What if I streamed some game we used to play together when we first met? That would be fun, right? Guys, what should we do after the stream? Any ideas?
