I had just finished my schoolwork for the day. The second my teacher said that we could go, I was already out of the call. About 10 minutes later, I get a text from Niki. I gave her my number a few days ago since we were becoming really close.

Hey Sky! Ik this is around the time that you get off of school, can you call?

Yup! Just got off, I'll call ya

I press the call button and wait for Niki to answer

"Hey Sky!" Niki says as she answers

"Hey Niki, it's good to see you!" I respond happily

"Sooooo" she continues "What's up with you and Ranboo?"

I- What?

"Uh-" I'm just completely startled "What are you talking about??"

"That reply on his latest tweet. It seemed kinda sus"

"What do you mean it was sus?"

"He wasn't able to stream that day, and then reply. Did Ranboo having to cancel his stream have something to do with you?"

How did she connect the dots with that-

"Uh- I- No-" I stutter

"I'm taking your stutter as a yes?"

"Look, in my defense-"

"I KNEW IT!" She yells

"LOOK WE WERE JUST GOING OVER OUR LORE STREAM FOR TODAY AND I- WELL, I FELL ASLEEP"

"OH MY GOSH THAT'S SO ADORABLE"

"Niki, there is utterly n o t h i n g going on. We're just friends. Don't get any ideas"

"Ok, but do you like him?" She asks eagerly

"Niki we met like 2 months ago-"

"That's enough time to start liking someoneeeeee"

I sigh "Niki I don't know- It feels too soon to start liking someone and we're just friends"

"You either tell me how you feel about him or tell me something else about you"

I think for a bit

What else can I tell her?

After about 30 seconds of silence, I think of something

"What if-" I take a deep breath "What if I told you my name and showed you what I looked like?"

I heard silence from the other call, supposedly from her being shocked

"I mean you don't have to do that I don't want you to feel pressured or anything-"

"Nonono, it's fine. I trust you enough"

"Ok, if you say so"

I take a few deep breaths and look over at the facetime button. I close my eyes and then press the button. I open them as she answers the facetime, but I turn my camera off

"Ok, here I go I guess"

I press the button.

She also has her camera on too, so I get to see her reaction

I look at her to see what she thinks. She looks..shocked

"Oh my gosh, Sky, you are literally so pretty!!"

I smile "AHHHH THANK YOU I WAS SO NERVOUS"

"EVEN YOUR SMILE IS GORGEOUS"

"NIKI STOPPPPP"

We both giggle

"Well, so uh, my name is Willow"

"That's such a pretty name too oh my gosh"

I suddenly hear my door open and look over to see Sapnap standing in my doorway

"Hey Willow are you done with school?"

I look back at Niki

U h o h h h

"SAPNAP? WAIT, WHY DOES YOUR BROTHER LOOK SO MUCH LIKE SAPNAP-"

"Oh shoot wait you're on the phone-" He realizes something as he's about to leave the room "Wait...is that Niki?"

I just slowly nod

"Wait- your brother is Sapnap??" Niki asks, astonished

"Well no not exactly" I sigh "I didn't wanna tell anyone but Clay is my brother.."

Sapnap just stand there like the embodiment of the standing emoji

Niki is just sitting there shocked

"Wait how could she see that I was here? Did you do a face reveal to her??" Sapnap asks

"Uh yeah, I did"

istg if have felt more like the standing emoji irl in my life and i'm not even standing-

"Well I was not expecting this today-" Niki says as we're all just kind sitting there

"Niki, please don't tell anyone I wanted to keep it a secret"

"Yeah yeah, don't worry, I wouldn't do that I promise!"

"Thank you Niki, imma go tell Clay about this. I'll talk to you later?"

"Yeah, bye Sky, love ya"

We hang up and I look over at Sapnap

"Good going, dumbass" I say, standing from my chair

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to know if you were done with school and I didn't know you were on a call, much less with Niki, much less doING A FACE REVEAL WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?"

"HEY I'M THE ONE WHO'S SUPPOSED TO BE MAD AT YOU RIGHT NOW"

George and Clay come over to my room after hearing all the screaming

"Whaaaats going on?" Clay asks

"Yeah why are you screaming, I'm trying to take a nap" George adds on

"Well I was on a call with Niki and I was doing a face reveal for her and telling her my real name and-"

"YOU DID ?" Clay asks

"Yeah, lemme finish. Sapnap then decides to come in my room, , and Niki saw him. Naturally, she thought he looked like Sapnap and went insane and started asking questions. So I had to tell her that you're my brother and that Sapnap lives with us" I say it all with a long sigh at the end

George and Clay just stand there, shocked

"So lemme get this straight..." Clay starts speaking, still very shocked "You decided to tell Niki your real name do a face reveal and she saw Sapnap so you had to tell her that I was your brother?"

"Yup" I reply blandly, but scared that he might be angry

"Ok" He says, and starts walking out the door

"Dang I thought he'd at least have some reaction-" Sapnap says

"I'm kidding" He says, stopping himself from walking down the hallway "I'm proud of you! You're making friends that you trust enough to tell your secrets. You're gonna eventually tell everyone that I'm your brother so this is a good start"

"Ew he's being all sappy I wanted to see a mad Clay not this" Sapnap says as he leaves the room

"I'm going back to bed, just stay quiet" George says, also leaving

"Look, Willow, I'm perfectly fine with you telling your friends or viewers that I'm your brother. Hell, I really want you to, but it's up to you. Tell whoever you'd like. And if you get hate for it, I'll tell my viewers to shut up. If I get hate for it, oh well, too bad so sad" He says, putting a reassuring hand on my shoulder

"Thanks, Clay. I still don't think I wanna tell them yet though"

"That's perfectly fine, take your time" He starts walking to my door before he stops "Also, a friend of mine is coming over tomorrow to hang out. Just so you know"

"Oh, please, man in this house? Just what I need" I say with an eye roll

"Actually....it's a girl"

I immediately look over to him

"A GIRL YOU SAY?" I smirk and wiggle my eyebrows

"Alright, alright chill. Her name is Caoimhe, she's just gonna come hang out for a while. Who knows, maybe you guys could even hang out and be friends"

"I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET HER"

"Alright calm down" Clay says with an eye roll "I'm going to the store, want anything?"

"Ooo get me some Pocky, the strawberry flavor"

"Ok, bye" He walks out my door

I plop back into my gaming chair

Should tell my fans...
