|| Echo's perspective ||
I was gonna kill him. Well not really but I was hardcore debating it. Alex would not stop apologizing for calling last night. And I said the same thing I'd been saying for what feels like forever, 'no Alex I'm seriously not mad, people get drunk, it's normal. I'm seriously not mad.' It got to the point where I was almost yelling it. I wasn't mad of course, and I told him as such, but he felt so bad. (For absolutely no reason). After a while, he let up and finally stopped. That was this morning, now it was lunchtime. I was finishing up a Phasmphobia throwback stream, streams that I did for one week every October because when I first started streaming it was in October 2015, I streamed Phasmphobia and other cheesy horror games for one week at a time, then I'd take a one week break. So basically streaming every day, every other week. It was a strange schedule, but it's even more sporadic now. Chat always seemed to look forward to this week more than any other event I've ever done, and I probably did too.
"Alrighty chat I think it's finally time for me to bounce outta here," I said.

"I'm not leaving you like you're nothing, I'm gonna be back tomorrow. It's the first damn day." I deadpanned while trying to hold back a smile.
"You guys act traumatized every time I leave." I said, and then laughed at a chat message that said, 'WE ARE!!'
"Okay well I'll see you all tomorrow at the same time, I'll be streaming fnaf and doing drugs. Just kidding. Twitch don't ban me please." I fake begged.
I reached for the echo button on my soundboard and did my traditional salutations.
"GOODBYE!" I yelled into the mic, hearing the way my voice echoed back to me, then turned on my starting soon screen.

I let out a sigh and threw my head back. Today has already been a long day and it's only lunchtime. "Speaking of lunch I'm fricking starving," I thought. Burger King sounded good as hell. And on that thought, I grabbed my keys and hopped in the car.
I put on my playlist and drove to Burger King, my happy place. The place that I could never get sick of. The actual love of my life. The place that I'm currently overhyping to an unhealthy extent.

"Oh my god are you Echo?!" The young, maybe 17-18 year old, blue-haired girl at the drive-through window almost screeched.
"Yeah." I laughed, rubbing the side of my neck.
"Oh my god. Oh my god, no way. I'm such a big fan of yours."
"Thank you so mu-." She cut me off by abruptly leaving the window.
She came back about a minute later with my food and a single napkin.
"My manager said you could have the food for free, also can you sign this?" She asked, her hand slightly shaking as she held out the napkin.
"Thank you so much, I really appreciate it," I said happily, I'm not about to decline free food, "And of course I can dude," I said as she handed me the bag of food and the napkin from her shaky hands.
"Do you have a pen?" I questioned after briefly glancing around my car for one.
"Yeah of course." She replied. She reached her hand up onto a shelf above the napkin dispenser, grabbing a black ballpoint pen.
"Thanks," I said as she handed it to me.
After I wrote the most horrendous signature the world has ever seen, I handed her back the napkin and the pen.
"Thank you so, so much." She smiled so big that I couldn't help but smile back.
"Yeah, of course. It's no worries." I waved goodbye and parked in the parking lot to eat. It smelled too good I think I would've died trying to wait until I got home.
After I was done I started to drive back to my house, pulling the car out of park and driving out of the lot. The food was good as fuck, cause Burger King is goated as hell.
While I was driving back home one of my best friends from way back when called me. We went to school together up until the first day of high school when she and her family had to move because her dad was in the military. Her moving never really tainted our friendship, of course it sucked to not be able to see each other in person but we got used to it.

"Yo Amelia, what's up dude?"
"Nothing much, just chillin' out. I saw your stream, it was so good."
"Thanks bro, it was super fun, I haven't played Phasmphobia in ages so it was rad to get back into it."
"Right." She mumbled, "anyways, don't get mad about me asking this okay?"
"Um, I don't know if I can promise that," I replied. Shuffling through possible questions she could be about to ask in my head.
"It's not a big deal," she said in reply, "but I was wondering if you liked Quackity?"
I paused for a second, confused as to why she was asking.
"Er, why?"
"Just wondering, the way you looked at each other during the twitchcon panel just seemed a bit, you know, romance-y. I guess."
"Oh okay. Well I don't," I cleared my throat and scratched the bottom of my ear lobe, "we're just good friends. Anything romance-y you think you saw was just your weird mind dude." I chuckled.
"Well I mean, I'm not the only person that thinks that at the moment."
"What? Who else thinks that?" I questioned.
"The entirety of Twitter apparently." She chuckled, her tone lighthearted while I almost slammed on my brakes in surprise.
"I'm driving so I can't check my phone, can you tell me what people are saying?" I asked, probably a bit too much urgency in my tone.
"Yeah, it's not a super big deal, your ship name, Echoity, is trending, and everyone's freaking out over the eye contact at the panel."
"Holy shit." I sighed.
It's not like we haven't trended before, so why does this one feel so different?
"It's all fine, it's not like they're only talking about you, he was looking at you all romance-y too."
"Amelia I'll call you back later okay."
"Oh okay, w-." I hung up before she could say her goodbyes.
