Accidentally Dating The Esports Pro Chapter 11
We scheduled the stream for the weekend. Bryson invited me over to the DK Esports headquarters so we could stream together in person.
As soon as I walked into the training room, I spotted a brand-new gaming setup right next to his desk. The headset even had cute little animal stickers on it.
Derrick wandered over with a smirk. “Alyssa, someone’s been anxiously waiting for his girlfriend today. He woke up early and has just been pacing back and forth, waiting for you to get here. He even set all this equipment up days in advance!”
I glanced over at Bryson. He shyly averted his eyes and cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment. “Let’s just start the stream!”
Once we had everything ready, I went live. I smiled at the camera. “Hey everyone, it’s Allie_Bear. I’m back for my scheduled stream, and we’ve got a really special guest joining us today!”
Bryson looked a bit serious, exactly like he usually did when he wasn’t smiling. “Hello everyone, I’m Bryson.”
The chat immediately blew up. “Wow, it really is Bryson. He hasn’t streamed in forever. I’ve missed him so much.” “They look so good together. I love this.” “Wait, am I the only one noticing their matching headsets? One’s black, and one’s white, and they even have the exact same stickers.”
More and more messages flooded the screen, pointing out how well Bryson and I suited each other. I glanced over at him. He was smiling faintly, clearly in a great mood.
We loaded into the game, displaying our familiar, matching usernames, “Be_The_Prince” and “Be_The_Princess.”
I wasn’t sure if he was doing it on purpose, but Bryson picked a character that perfectly matched mine in every single game. His jungling was as cracked as ever; he completely took over the map and hard-carried us to victory.
During one team fight, Bryson came in late and just cleaned house, easily sweeping up five consecutive kills.
“You’re insane…” I gasped.
Bryson chuckled softly. “You forgot the nickname again.”
I caught his drift, and my face instantly burned. How could he be so sneaky, trying to bait me into calling him “honey” in front of the whole stream?
The chat blew up immediately. “Why the blush? Spill it, what’s the nickname?” “Love watching you two together. You’re definitely speaking in code!” “Allie’s voice is so sweet. Has anyone else noticed that whenever she praises Bryson, he plays even harder to win for her?”
The match ended right then, and Bryson glanced over at the chat. He sounded completely deadpan. “Of course I try harder when Allie praises me. I have to totally win her over so she won’t leave me.”
The chat went wild. “I can’t handle how cute you guys are.” “I always thought Bryson was super aloof, but I never expected him to smile like that. Watching them makes my heart melt!” “Is this just couple’s banter? You two are clearly already together, but he still says he wants to pursue her. Bryson is such a romantic!”
I froze. Bryson wanted to pursue me? That couldn’t be right. Was I hearing things?
