Boyfriend Reveal (Nicole/Matt)
It was Saturday and Nicole had started her stream a bit late due to her boyfriend. He liked his sleep and while they had opposing schedules most of the time, it was always customary that they would cuddle in bed until both eventually went to sleep to the other's breathing.
Steaming nights, especially on the days she was up until 7 am for her normal 4:30 to 6:30 bedtime story stream, made it much more difficult to set the routine. But they've been doing this for 2 years. It wasn't as hard as the first month was.
Today was just different.
Matt hadn't had such a great day at the shop today, harassed by a couple of customers much more aggressively than normal. He had to actually pull out his phone and start dialing the cops for the people to actually back off and leave his store. He wanted comfort in the warm arms his girlfriend provided, wanted to just bury his face in her chest, listen to her heartbeat, and stay there forever.
So when the warm body pulled away... Obviously, he had to struggle.
Nicole won overall, tucking him in tightly and kissing his frowning mouth before padding her way out of their bedroom and toward her office.
It was nearing 5 am when they finally put up the announcement for the stream and apologized for the late start. Their twitch account was up and their intro was playing while she made the last adjustments to her headphones and pajamas. She started the countdown once she had the book she had been reading in her lap.
Three... Two... One...
Her intro screen burst into hexagons, purples and blues taking over the screen to them reveal herself in the camera view in the corner of her screen. Herself was the only thing she was sharing right now. She spoke softly, completely aware that most people who attended this stream - currently about 956 and climbing right now - came here to sleep. That was the purpose of this entire stream, after all.
"Morning, or rather goodnight to some of you. I apologize for the delay, there were some problems in bed." They only spared a brief glance at the chat but focused long enough to see all the suspicious and suggestive emojis filtering through. "Don't get any ideas, I was just tired. This stream will have to be a bit short but I'll be live until 6:30 for me so don't worry."
She read over some of the chat messages, smiling softly at the reminders that she needs to sleep too. "Ah, don't worry about me. Now I believeeee we were reading Eragon by request of Lilyx_inspotive^^." Nicole held up the book, tapping on the front cover before setting it on the desk in front of her and scooting closer. "My bookmark says the Chapter titled Tea for Two, do any of my mods remember differently?"
The mods confirmed they were correct before they gave their thanks and opened up the book to the correct page. "Two chapters tonight if they aren't too long. And then requests. All of you should know the rules for the requests. Violations may get you banned so stay chill."
Her chat continued on, commentating on her reading and laughing with her whenever there were foreign words twisting her tongue.
"Alright, alright, I know. This book is a mouthful but it's interesting! I'm actually invested in this but I hold myself back from reading it on my own." She laughs softly at her chat before looking back down.
"Chapter 'A Name of *Power-"*
Her chair was pulled back a little and before she could turn around to see who was there, a weight settled into her lap and a face nuzzled into her neck. The book she was reading was on the floor.
"Uh-"
"Warm."
*Matt.*
"Babe, I'm streaming."
"You left me. Want cuddles."
"I know, I'll be there in a second, go lay down, Loves." They went to go stand but their boyfriend just whined and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly.
"Stay."
"...We're on camera."
"Mhm."
"People can see you."
"Mhm."
"Loves, a lot of people can see you."
"Don't care, just want you."
"Ohmygods-"
Nicole groaned to which soft lips just lazily kissed her neck in an attempt to convince her to let him stay. "Please?"
"Shit, okay, fine."
There was a cheeky smile pressed into her shoulder and she was sure Matt was a lot more awake than he seemed.
She checked her camera to see if her boyfriend's face was incredibly visible which thankfully, it wasn't. But they would be able to see his side profile more clearly if he turned his face the other way and there was no doubt his face was exposed for at least a second. People would no doubt search high and low for it and some blurry, out-of-focus pictures would start circling around. But it didn't seem like her boyfriend had a problem with it anymore. Or his problem with it was so insignificant that - a glance at the viewers - 34.3k people watching or perhaps sleeping wasn't enough to keep him away from the physical touch he so wanted.
"Alright, uh... So the book is on the floor courtesy of my boyfriend. I can probably do some requests then."
Her chat was exploding, people asking questions, calling them cute, some people getting banned for other reasons. Nicole's cheeks turned pink, not used to so many people witnessing this part of her life and inwardly preening.
They pulled themselves forward, making sure they could reach the mouse before they shared their screen, and pulled up a tab of children's bedtime stories, varying in ages. It was her favorite site for bedtime stories - a site called Storyberries - and since the chat was moving too fast for her to see any recommendations, she would pull up random stories.
"Guys, stories. Please stop asking about my boyfriend or I'll start handing out mutes and bans. I didn't answer these questions before, I'm not going to start just cause he's in my lap." She frowned as she started edging the line of upset and Matt kissed under her jaw. He hummed contently and whispered into her skin;
"Read for me?"
She softened, tense body relaxing. They pressed a kiss to his temple before turning back to the screen and choosing a random story for teen ages.
Nicole began reading again and her chat slowly calmed, many probably falling asleep while others could have been muted or banned. Either way, she appreciated it as less and less movement caught the corner of her eye.
She went through 3 short stories before 6:30 am came across and they smiled tiredly at the camera. "Calling it a night, guys. I'm exhausted. I hope all of you get some sleep and for those of you who are asleep, sweet dreams. See you next time, Cross out."
They ended the stream, closing out of her tabs before looking down at their stupidly endearing boyfriend.
"Are you happy with yourself?"
A small smile curved his mouth up lazily, Matt looking up at his girlfriend with half-glossy eyes. "Mhmmmm."
"You're lucky I love you."
"Love you."
"Let's get to bed, mkay?"
"Mhmmmmmm."
She smiled, eyes half-lidded as she gripped his thighs and stood up. His arms moved to go around her neck and his legs wrapped tightly around her waist while she left her office and headed back to the bedroom.
Once they got there, they gently laid Matt down who very clearly didn't want to let go.
"Lay on me."
"I'll squish you."
"Don't care."
Nicole sighed through her nose before complying. She rolled them to their sides quickly after and kissed Matt's forehead. "Sleep, my love."
"Mmm, more kisses." He closed his eyes, both because they were too heavy and because he liked his eyes closed when they kissed because it felt more intimate when he gave up a sight to her.
So she pressed kisses over his eyelids, temples, nose, cheeks, corners of his mouth, and chin. She scattered the kisses all over the bridge of his nose and cheeks, smiling as she felt his breath even out.
Just before they went to pull away and go to sleep themselves, he mumbled out a "lips..."
A soft press of her lips on his elicited a smile from both.
"Night night," he whispered against her mouth.
"Night night," she mumbled back.
