|Faceless| ~(Ranboo x OC)~

~|Chapter 41|~ Coincidence or Not?

"Aren't you doing it on the Dreamsmp as well?" Ranboo asks

"Yep! But it's nice to do it on my own server as well" 

He hums in response and we stare at the virtual sky that is slowly being sparkled with white stars

"I'm really glad that Dream recommended I watch you, Willow" Ranboo says  out of the blue

Wait, what?

"Huh? What're you talking about?" 

"You didn't know? The way I found your channel was from Dream giving me your username. I asked for a small streamer and he gave me you" He explains like it was obvious

So what he's saying is..I didn't earn all of my success on my own..

"O-oh..I didn't know that.." I respond trying not to sound upset 

"Well, I guess now you know" 

"I think I'm gonna go now" I disconnect from the server "Cya guys"

I leave the call before I can even hear their goodbyes

I really thought that I earned that on my own. That Ranboo found my channel randomly. Not with my brother's help. I told Clay specifically that I wanted to earn this on my own and he went off and told one of the biggest streamers my fucking username to collab with me.

Should I even confront him?

Of course I should.

I slowly get up and make my way to his room. Was I pissed? Yes. But was that the only emotion I was feeling? Hell no. I was upset, I was confused. Most importantly, I was disappointed. Not particularly in Clay, but in myself. This meant that I didn't earn this on my own, that I didn't get my success for myself, I got it from Clay.

The entire reason I didn't wanna stream in the first place. The entire reason why I let him have the spotlight. He would always have the success, wether I knew that or not. Which I suppose, I always really did.

My hand slowly rises to his door to knock. My originally plan to confront him was to be mad, but after my overthinking, I feel that it'll be more of asking "why?" then being mad

"Come in!" Clay yells from the other side of the door after hearing my knocking

I grab the doorknob and twist it slowly but surely. This was it. The bad thing that would go wrong after all the glory.

"Hey Clay.." I say vaguely 

"What's up?" He asks, not realizing the sadness in my voice

"I had a bit of a...question I suppose"

"Ok, what is it?" He turns around from his gaming chair to give me his full attention

"Do-" I pause, scared to confront him "Do you remember when I first got the dm from Ranboo when he asked to collab?"

"Yeah?" He responds, questioning for me to continue

"I was so proud of myself. I thought that all my hard work had finally payed off. That I had done something successful.." I don't look him in the eyes out of fear 

"Go on?" He urges

"..So why?" 

Our eyes finally meet, sadness in mine and realization in his

"Why would you let me lie to myself?" I continue

"Willow, I- you still gained success on your own" He tries to change my mind, but fails
