All of their eyes on you made you unbelievably nervous, so you let out a weak "hi".

"Yo! Y/N, I'd like you to meet the stupidest men on the planet, shitter than even Matt and I." Ryan gestured to the three men standing across the room, and you could have passed out from intimidation. You didn't imagine Chris to be as tall as he was, or Julian to be as "beardy". But what struck your interest was a somewhat taller man, almost hidden behind Chris and Julian. You had forgotten that the only person you had never seen a picture of was Ding Dong himself, who you figured to be the shy looking man. You were kind of shocked to say the least, but continued to stay put until someone did something.

It was Chris who opened his mouth first and held out his hand for you to shake. "Hey, I'm Chris, I don't actually know if you know who I am or was forced into this, but I think you're hella funny and really fucking talented." As you shook hands, you looked into his eyes. They seemed like a heavenly mixture of greens and blues; you could stare into them all day. His hair looked decently combed, some dirty blonde tufts out of place. "I'm Y/N, but I know who you are, and you're really fucking awesome too. I love your artwork dude, you're hilarious." You had regained confidence and spoke louder than you did when you first entered; they just made you feel more welcome like that. Julian took a step forward to you, extending his hand out as he explained himself, too, "I'm Julian! We've all seen your stuff and we really love it. I can say that I'm pretty excited to work with you!" His eager and cheerful demeanor put you even more at ease, and you couldn't help but smile wide. "Ah geez, thanks! I've been looking forward to this for a while actually, you all seem pretty cool!" Once you had shaken Julian's hand, you craned your neck to the man who was now looking at the floor instead of anybody in the room.

Oh.

From what you could tell, he had blonde hair, a bit shaggier than Chris', but good looking nonetheless. Although barely noticeable due to his focus on the floor, his eyes seemed a lighter color, you figured blue. His hands were in his pockets and he seemed... nervous? You didn't think you were THAT intimidating. He swallowed a couple of times, his cheeks dusted a light pink. Chris noticed that he didn't introduce himself to you, and elbowed him in the ribs, causing him to grunt, look up, and force eye contact with you. From where you stood, he looked fucking adorable, but you pushed that thought away. You just met the guy, don't be rude, Y/N. He barely made an effort to properly introduce himself, giving a small wave and pretending to smile while saying in a monotonous tone, "Ding Dong. Hi." Acting like you weren't offended by his obvious distaste for you, you watched as his posture fell again and his eyes droop after you had rushed an introduction yourself. "I- Y/N. Uh, hey."

The room fell silent for what seemed like forever.

Julian spoke up, hoping to break some of the tension, "So, um, should we uh... begin?" Matt and Ryan immediately lifted the gloom by screaming out "FUCK YEAH LET'S DO IT!" Everyone quickly got situated and began to set up the equipment- making sure everything was in place. You had stayed put, not risking to move from your place near the doorway. Chris was unfortunately quick to notice, and turned back to you after he had already made his way to the couch. "Hey, you alright? I know we just met, but you seem, like, kind of bummed." You looked up, not realizing your own eyes were glued to the floor, as if it were more captivating than anyone else in the room. "Oh! Uh- yeah, I'm just doing some thinking. No big deal, I'm fine. Let's get started, shall we?" Before he could answer, you swept past Chris and made your way to the others, not saying a word as you, too, got situated and ready for a loud, overwhelming hell. What were you playing again..?

The session was a success. You could tell everyone was excited to have you there with them, as crowded as it was. You laughed, cried, fell, almost broke controllers, but altogether it was a blast. Once it finished, you decided to stay a bit and get to know those Oney Plays autismos better, when Matt interrupted you in the middle of a conversation with Julian.
