A/n: New fandom! I'm running out of room to tag things. Sorry if they seem a little OOC. Also cut me some slack, I've never actually logged into Tumblr so it might be a little wrong.
This is for horseygirl1313 (I hope I did that right) who said: You should do a McPricely "so you're the asshole that stole my username" au where kevin has the username 'thegayest' on tumblr and connor goes to type it but its taken so he looks it up and messages him
Connor glared at the little red box that came up as soon as he put his username in.
Thegayest
Sorry that username is taken. Please try something else.
Apparently someone was already using his username. He used it for everything which made it easy to log into accounts he forgot about. He reluctantly added a couple of ones
Thegayest111
That looked stupid. He completely erased it and put in the next username he thought of. He hovered over the signup button with his mouse. He almost clicked it out of surprise when his roommate tapped his shoulder "Connor"
"What James?" Connor asked. He spun the desk chair around to look at James.
"Let's go out!" James exclaimed. Connor realized that James was wearing skinny jeans and a black t-shirt. Going out clothes.
"No" Connor tried to turn back to his laptop, but James stopped him.
"Come on! We're in college! Like a little!" James pulled Connor out of his seat "Do you really want to spend your college experience glaring at a computer"
"That is exactly what I plan to do" Connor turned back to the computer and finally logged in.
"The guy hosting the party is single..." James poked Connor's shoulder. "You know Kevin Price? That guy in your math class"
Connor rolled his eyes. Why did he tell James he thought that guy was cute? "Go away"
"Fine," James reached over and messed up Connor's hair "Don't get in a fight with the computer"
The door finally slammed shut. Connor went to the search bar and found his username.
TurnItOff:
So you're the asshole that stole my username.
The reply came almost immediately.
TheGayest:
i guess you aren't gay enough for it
TurnItOff:
You clearly have never met me.
TheGayest:
i radiate gay
TurnItOff:
Sure...
TheGayest:
dont doubt me
TurnItOff:
Too late
TheGayest:
rude
TurnItOff:
You realize it automatically capitalizes the first word, so instead of making it look like you don't care it looks like you care too much.
TheGayest:
You figured me out
TurnItOff:
Not that hard, you don't have very much depth
TheGayest:
i object
TurnItOff:
Too bad
TheGayest:
and i thought you were nice
TurnItOff:
I'm not. I basically said 'fuck off' to an entire religion
TheGayest:
which one
TurnItOff:
I was going to be a mormon
TheGayest:
i dont belive it
in an alternate universe we were mission partners
TurnItOff:
No way
TheGayest:
some called me the best mormon of my generation
of course that was before i came out as the gayest
TurnItOff:
Ha ha
TheGayest:
i have 2 go my roomie is yelling at me
i expect to finish this conversation
Connor quit the browser and leaned back in his chair. That was not the expected result. Something about that person intrigued Connor, it was probably stupid to get attached to someone he didn't even know the name of, but Connor wasn't known for his good decisions. He probably would lose contact with them within a week.
------
That didn't happen. They kept messaging, James like to tease him about his crush on someone he knew near nothing about, but that wasn't true. The only thing Connor didn't know was their name and where they lived, other than that he knew everything. He knew they had a weird obsession with Disney, he knew they were half addicted to coffee, he even knew they had brown eyes
"Dude this is ridiculous" James shut Connor's laptop and sat on top of his desk "You're pining after a guy you don't even know the name of"
"So?" Connor tried to open his laptop, but James leaned against it.
"It's stupid. When was the last time you went out with a real guy?" James asked
"Last week"
"I don't count" James clarified.
"Uh..." Connor blanked "Give me a sec"
"That's it" James pulled Connor's laptop into his lap.
"What are you doing?" Connor asked. His friend had some terrible idea and he had a feeling this was one of them. When James continued typing he rolled his eyes "You realize everything is password protected"
James snorted "Cause your passwords are so hard to guess"
Connor hopped up onto the desk so he could see what James was doing. "Why are you on my Tumblr?"
"I want to talk to this guy" James explained
As soon as the words registered Connor reached for his laptop "No!"
James ran into the bathroom and locked the door "Dear guy my friend is in love with, this is James. What is your name? How old are you? And where do you live?"
"James" Connor complained. He knocked on the door and tried the knob even though he knew it was locked.
"What are your intentions with my friend?" James continued "Hey he's writing"
"James let me in" Connor leaned against the door and kicked it lightly.
"He replied! Is he actually in love with me?" James read "My name is- Oh my gosh!"
"What?" Connor wanted to be able to see what was happening. "What did he say?"
The door opened to reveal James' shocked face "It's the guy you like from your math class"
"What!?" Connor sat down next to James and looked at the screen. Kevin, 19, new york. "It could be a different Kevin" Connor reasoned. There was no way the two guys he liked were the same person. James scrolled down to where Kevin had also clarified his last name. It was Price. Connor covered his face with his hands "My life is a joke"
James rubbed his shoulder "A very funny joke"
"You are not helping!" Connor elbowed James, who yelped loudly.
James pulled the computer onto his lap and started typing "Do you have a Connor Mckinley in your math class"
"What? Don't say that!"
James shrugged "Too late"
"Why do you hate me?" Connor asked. His life was going so well when James didn't know his computer password.
"I don't hate you" James promised. He patted Connor's head while Connor glared at him. "Have fun with your future boyfriend"
James left and Connor watched the screen. The little dots showed up to show that Kevin was writing. Connor briefly considered logging out and never logging back, but that might make math class a little awkward.
TurnItOff:
Do you have a Connor Mckinley in your math class?
TheGayest:
oh
TurnItOff:
I'm so sorry James hijacked my laptop.
TheGayest:
to clarify youre connor mckinley
TurnItOff:
Yes
TheGayest:
the cute guy in my math class
TurnItOff:
That is a matter of opinion, but yes
TheGayest:
the cute guy i have a crush on
TurnItOff:
I hope that's me.
TheGayest:
date
TurnItOff:
It's April 8th.
TheGayest:
smartass
TurnItOff:
How about coffee? That place right by the lecture hall where we take math.
TheGayest:
on my way
Connor closed his computer and took a moment to wonder if he was really going to do this. He totally was. He ran out of the bathroom and pulled on his shoes. At the last second he remembered James "I'm going out"
There was laughter from James' room "Have a nice date, and don't get murdered"
Connor rolled his eyes and made sure to slam the door a little harder than necessary. Where was that coffee shop? He had only been there once, hopefully he wouldn't get lost. After turning on the wrong street twice, he finally found the coffee shop where Kevin was sitting right inside the window. He looked much better than Connor felt. He was sitting there with his perfect hair that always curled perfectly and was wearing a button up(Connor was sure the other half of him looked great, but the wall was blocking that). On the other side Connor was still wearing his sitting around all day clothes and was sure he forgot to brush his hair before leaving.
Ding!
Connor jumped when he opened the door and the bell rang. Kevin looked up from his phone and jumped out of his seat "Hey..." Kevin scratched the back of his neck awkwardly "You want to sit down"
Connor nodded and sat down across from Kevin. He was actually talking to Kevin. It was still slightly shocking. "I can't believe we didn't know we went to the same college"
Kevin laughed "Yeah, that is a crazy twist of fate"
"Do you actually have a crush on me?" Connor asked, finally voicing the thought that had been bugging him since he found out.
"Yes" Kevin kept a straight face, other then the pink blush that spread across his cheeks "I actually have a double crush on you, because I liked Tumblr user TurnItOff and I liked Connor the kind, smart guy in my math class"
"Wow" Connor looked down at his hands nervously. "Can I kiss you?" That was not what he meant to say, but he figured he'd go with it.
"Definitely" Kevin leaned across the table and kissed Connor lightly "We are idiots"
"Yes, we are" Connor agreed. He suddenly realized that in all the excitement he forgot to order "I'm going to go get coffee"
"Oh, yeah" Kevin looked embarrassed "Sorry I distracted you"
"I don't care, it was a nice distracting" Connor promised. This was already the most successful date he'd had in years "I'll be right back"
-----
Three years later:
"God damn you Connor" Kevin shut his computer and spun his desk chair around to glare at Connor on the couch.
"What did I do?" Connor asked with a smug smirk, not looking up from his book.
Kevin stood up and walked over to the couch. He sat in his boyfriend's lap and leaned forward. "Apparently my username is taken" Kevin stated. He leaned closer until Connor had to put his book on the floor to avoid crushing it.
"Strange" Connor said. He smiled and patted Kevin's head. "One point for me!" They had made it a game after they met that whoever logged onto a site with their username first got a point. Currently Connor was in the lead, thanks to multiple websites he hadn't actually gone on in ten years.
"I still think my Tumblr account should be worth more because it's the reason we met" Kevin argued
"I'll consider it" Connor agreed. He pulled Kevin forward the last few inches to connect their lips. He pulled Kevin closer and nudged their noses together. "I love you" Connor mumbled against Kevin's lips "I'm so glad you stole my username"
"Best decision I ever made" Kevin agreed. He couldn't even imagine what his life would've been like without Connor in it.
A/n: That ending sucks, but I don't want to write it again. Also I forgot how much work it is to write texting/chat stuff.
Thanks for reading! Vote, comment, and leave suggestions! I hope you all had a great day!
