Chapter Text

It was a random Tuesday afternoon, and while goofing off in his mom’s basement, Aoki discovered something. Something called.. twitch? He hadn’t heard of that platform before. He set up an account, discovering that he could stream his playthroughs on here. He learned about Vtubing, vlogs, everything. He decided to be a gaming streamer, and began to stream his Minecraft playthroughs. Somehow, he gained a fairly large amount of followers. He thought no one he knew would find him on there, there was no way! Well, he was proven very wrong.

On Thursday, right before he started streaming, he got a new follower notification. That wasn’t out of the ordinary. What was out of the ordinary was the username that had popped up. CorruptionGames. Isn’t that.. the famous guy that his followers always watched and mentioned in his chat? He decided to look at his YouTube account, a platform he again only found out existed through his chat. The ginger man on the videos looked familiar.. oh my gods. It was Chuuya. As in, Aoki’s annoying best friend. How the hell was he famous?! Aoki watched every video until his eyes began to hurt. His best friend, the one who called him when he was drunk (which wasn’t often, Chuuya tended to just stare at his wine rather than drink it), the one who positively refused to admit who he was in love with, was a famous streamer. And now Chuuya knew that Aoki was a streamer. Oh boy.

As Aoki started up his stream, he instantly noticed that his chat was screaming about something.

@careesespieces : OMG GUYS CORRUPT IS HERE

@mwzy.xx : CORRUPT?!

Aoki sighed. Of course Chuuya wanted to fuck with him.
“Corrupt, get out of my stream. I know who you are.”

@corruptiongames : I have no clue what you’re talking about

“You know damn well what I’m talking about. Get off.”

@kiippie : CORRUPT AND WOODS KNOW EACH OTHER?!?!

Aoki sighed reading his chat.
“Yes, he’s my best friend in real life.”

With that comment, Aoki’s chat exploded. He sighed.
“You did this, ch- Corrupt.”

@D3RANG3D_n0nb1nary : WAIT DID HE ALMOST SAY CORRUPT’S IRL NAME?!?!

Fuck.
“No, I didn’t.”

@daiseecorn : SURE BUDDY

Aoki sighed again. Really, this man should become a professional sigher. This would be a long stream, he could already tell.

Woodz!! @woodsygamer

Aoki smiled while looking at Twitter (it’s not X damnit). Not at the shipping, ew, but at the fact that Chuuya admitted to them being friends. That hasn’t ever happened before, and Aoki couldn’t help but feel excited about it. This stream would be a blast.

Chapter Text

Let the chaos begin!! This will be fun >:3

“Hello chat! I’m here with Corrupt, and Wraith is also chilling with us, but he won’t get high. Today we’re eating edibles!”

@wraithglazer_69 : WRAITH IS HERE?!

@mentally_ill : y’all are getting high???

@careesespieces : OMG MAYBE CORRUPTEDWRAITH WILL KISS

Chuuya legitimately screeched in shock at that, leaping like a scared cat, his face red.

“Oh hell nah! I ain’t kissing that freak!” Chuuya shouted, his tone entirely betraying his words.

@kiippie : CLIMB HIM LIKE A TREE

Aoki gasped audibly, Chuuya sputtered indignantly, and Dazai snorted loudly off camera.

“WHAT. WHAT?!” Chuuya sputtered, his face fully red. “MODS, BAN THAT PERSON.”

Within moments, Noelle, Aoki’s sister and mod, had banned @kiippie. Immediately, another account popped up one letter off. Noelle banned that one too.

Still recovering from that, Chuuya grabbed at the bottle of edibles, eating a few too many.

“Dude you’re not supposed to eat that muc- okay it’s too late now..” Aoki muttered, staring at Chuuya. Then Chuuya proceeded to try and walk to dazai, not looking down, and proceeded to fall down the stairs.

@hubert_gremling : DID CORRUPT JUST

@berthu_linggrem : HE DID

@-OPTL- : OH MY GODS?!?!

@D3RANG3D_n0nb1nary : IS HE OKAY??

@mwyz.xx : oof, goodluck with that

Aoki stared at the stairs with wide eyes, before rushing to help Chuuya. Chuuya was fine, just minorly bruised. Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, dragging Chuuya back up the stairs. Aoki grabbed the edibles and took the proper amount, and sat down on the couch, forcing Chuuya to sit next to him.

“He’s okay, everyone, don’t worry.” Aoki said, sighing. The effects of the edibles were already hitting, and he was feeling strange.

A few hours went by, and Chuuya was sobbing on the couch about how dogs never got to speak to their humans, and Aoki was laying on the floor. The chat was dying laughing, and so was Dazai, although he was stuck trying to comfort a sobbing Chuuya. While having his face in Dazai’s chest, Chuuya randomly stopped crying and started calling Dazai names.

“YOU INCONSIDERATE ASSHOLE! HOW COULD YOU! THE STRAYS NEED DOG TREATS TOO!”

Dazai looked bewildered, but then it struck him what Chuuya was talking about, and he burst out laughing.

“STOP LAUGHING! THAT POOR STRAY DIDN'T GET TO EAT ANY TREATS BECAUSE YOU ATE THEM ALL!” Chuuya shouted, and then clung to Dazai sobbing again. Dazai didn’t quite know what to do, whether to laugh or comfort this crying ginger. The chat was blowing up, some dying laughing, others yapping about ships.

@careesespieces : KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS KISS

@kipppie : look who has a new account to torture you with MODS ILL BE GOOD DONT BAN ME AGAIN

@yourassishistorylikethomasjefferson : TS IS TOO FUNNY STOP-

@daiseecorn : CORRUPTEDWRAITH MENTIONED?!?!

@-OPTL- : is woods.. in love with the floor?

Sure enough, Aoki was staring at the floor (while laying on it), with love in his eyes, and then somehow read the chat. 

“I like floor. Floor is pretty. I only need floor in life. Hehehehehehehe.” He spoke in this childish, tired baby voice, while gently petting the floor. Dazai started dying laughing. The chat all started spamming the same words: Floor lover.

@D3RANG3D_n0nb1nary : FLOOR LOVER

@careesespieces : FLOOR LOVER

@mwyz.xx: FLOOR LOVER

The messages kept rolling. Dazai fell off the couch laughing, abandoning his comforting of Chuuya. He could already tell this would be one heck of a meme.

After the stream had long since ended, and Chuuya was dealing with the after effects of having too many edibles, Aoki was scrolling through Twitter, when he stumbled upon a post by Dazai.

Wraith !! @blackwraith

All the replies were just variations of ‘FLOOR LOVER’. Aoki was greatly confused, so he messaged the group chat.

Stray dogs:

W O O D S: why are people spamming me with ‘floor lover’ on Twitter

Thtupid Thlug: bc u confessed ur love to floor on stream yesternight

W O O D S: i did what.

Aoki sighed, staring at the gifs of him kissing the floor. He was going to sign up to be a professional sigher  He was going to have a long month, he already knew.

Chapter Text

There were children excitedly chatting, trick-or-treats being said, crows cawing. It was the perfect Halloween night. Aoki walked through the streets, with the Stray Dogs gang around him as they chatted happily. Each had on a costume that spoke wonders about what kind of person they were. Aoki was a zombie, but he wasn’t some boring zombie. He had gone all out, painted his skin green, did special effects makeup to make himself look like a real zombie, and had splattered old, torn clothes with fake blood. Dazai looked far less scary, having dressed as the leveret from Yaelokre’s song Kid & Leveret, and he looked as though he had stepped out of a fantasy novel. He wore a dress, surprisingly, and a hare mask specially made for this costume, with long ears. His usual bandages were dyed brown to match the theme, and the costume was mainly shades of pale greens and browns. Next to dazai stood Chuuya, who had surprisingly agreed to match with him. Chuuya was the Kid from Kid & Leveret, and he looked stunning. He also wore a dress, and around his neck were intricate ruffles he had handmade. Sitting just beneath the ruffles was a bow, blue in color. He wore a sheep-ish looking mask, with one horn broken on purpose.Next to them stood Yosano, her outfit terrifying. She was matching with someone, a red haired woman she had dragged with them, and they were dressed as the Shining Twins. They had matching blue dresses, and hopefully fake blood all over them. The bathroom at Yosano’s house, where they both got ready, must be a nightmare… Anyways. Ranpo was looking incredibly dapper, dressed as Sherlock Holmes. He practically already was the man in spirit, and now in body. Next to Ranpo stood a tall man with maroon-ish black hair, dressed as Watson. No one had ever met this mysterious man in person, but online they certainly had. It was Edgar Allan Poe, one of Ranpo’s two mods, and admittedly probably his favorite. They had an interesting dynamic, that was for sure. Skipping next to Ranpo and Poe was a tall person with a brown wolf cut, dressed in a suit, with blood all over them. Nobody actually knew if the blood was fake or not, though. They had stated repeatedly that they were ‘a worker for slenderman’, and kept trying to pull people into the forest. They had painted their already pale skin fully paper white, and had splattered the mystery blood on their face. It was Kibō Akuyaku, Ranpo’s other mod, and best friend. Hanging in the back of this eccentric group was Atsushi and Akutagawa, walking side by side. Atsushi was dressed as a ‘Victorian ghost’, and had on all white, with a corset vest over a baggy blouse, and puffy shorts. He had a veil over his face. Akutagawa was a demon, typical. He had on practically just the black version of Atsushi’s costume, minus the puffy shorts. He had on black ‘gothic’ pants and combat boots, and he had devil horns. The whole group was excitedly chatting to each other.

“Ah chibi, aren’t you so glad we matched?” Dazai asked, putting an arm around Chuuya’s shoulder.

“Fuck off.” Chuuya responded, pushing off Dazai’s arm. They continued walking, and dazai instantly noticed something.

Following them was an old man in a white van.

Dazai instantly stiffened, and grabbed Chuuya’s arm roughly, dragging him forward. Chuuya fought with him, not seeing the old man. Ranpo picked up on Dazai’s distress and turned around, and the blood drained from his face. He tugged on Poe’s arm, and signaled to Yosano. Atsushi and Akutagawa noticed the van, and Atsushi literally started clinging to Akutagawa. They turned down a random road, thinking maybe it was a coincidence. 

It wasn’t.

The van followed them down every road they turned, even backing up when they did. They stopped at a bar, trying to get help. 

The van parked in the parking lot.

They entered, looking panicked. The bar was bustling, with lights, sounds, and people in costumes everywhere. Dazai, ranpo, and Poe pressed their hands to their ears as they navigated the bar. I’m the bustle, Chuuya got separated from Dazai. He was panicked, scanning the crowd for any familiar face, when a metal hand grabbed his wrist. He turned around slowly.

It was the man.

He screamed, attempting to break free. People nearby started looking. God damnit, he was losing this game of tug of war… the man was pulling Chuuya to the door.

10 steps left.

Chuuya’s heart was beating as he thrashed against the man.

9 steps left.

His eyes scanned the bar in a panic, trying to spot Dazai or the others.

8 steps left.

He planted his feet, only to get yanked forward.

7 steps left.

He screamed as loud as he could, until his throat hurt.

6 steps left.

He tried to punch the man, to no avail.

5 steps left.

He began to give up hope, he was fighting a losing battle.

4 steps left.

‘I’m sorry Osamu, I’ll miss you..’ He thought, resigning himself to his fate.

3. Steps. Left.

Tears started to pour down his face.

2. Steps. Left.

They were getting close

1. Step. Left.

The man had one foot out the door.

0 steps le-

BAM!

The man fell to the floor, bleeding from his head. Dazai stood over him, looking murderous. He had kicked the man in the head. Ranpo ran over, and called the police, who then arrested the man. Chuuya clung to Dazai, sobbing. Dazai rubbed his head gently, looking very shaken up. Everyone else looked horrified, but glad it was over. 

After that, they went home. They were going to relax, to play a calm game, when they realized they had scheduled a FNAF co-op (on roblox) play through. Dear gods.. fine, duty calls.

They let Chuuya calm down for a few hours, then started up the stream. Each person had their own stream, except for Ranpo and his mods. Poe sat in view of the web cam, and Kibō sat slightly out of view, and was the one actually modding the chat at that moment. Aoki started his chat, and instantly blocked about three people who said variations of ‘floor lover’. Chuuya was still rattled, but didn’t show it on camera. They started a game, all of them joining.

“Alright chat, we have started a game!” Aoki said cheerfully, trying to diffuse the tension still lingering in the air.

@mwzy.xx : can’t wait for them all to just start screaming

@careesespieces : ranpo’s gonna be more focused on the lore let’s be so Fr

“ranpo’s gonna be more foc- Hell yeah I am! I’m so reading into every single small detail” Ranpo said happily.

The chat started laughing, and they began to play.

“I volunteer to die so that I can tell where the animatronics are.” Dazai said immediately.

“Of course you do.” Chuuya responded.

Dazai sat his avatar down next to toy Bonnie, and walked into him when the lights went out. He had purchased the no jump scares game pass, so he didn’t react at all. Now his avatar was a ghost, and could tell when the animatronics were moving. They continued the game play, Dazai barking out orders.

“MASK HOLY SHIT MASK!” Dazai screamed as Toy Chica waltzed into the office. Aoki didn’t put on the mask and screamed very high pitched.

“EEEEEEEE!” He leaped back in his chair, and his chat started dying laughing, along with the whole gang.

“You scream like a girl!” Chuuya shouted, quickly moving to do the puppet.

“FLASH FOXY FLASH FLASH!” Dazai cut through as Foxy ran up.

“Oh I will.” Yosano said. “Foxy, c’mere.”

“Butterfly, dear, stop getting freaky with a child’s spirit.” The ginger haired woman, Kouyou, said off-screen.

“Butterfly is a child predator!” Ranpo yelled, checking the cameras as Yosano spammed the flashlight at Foxy.

“I’M NOT I FORGOT HE WAS A CHILD!” Yosano screamed as foxy ran off.

“Uh guys.. did anyone remember the music box..?” Dazai asked.

“OH FUCK!” Atsushi screamed, earning a reaction of utter shock from his chat as he desperately tried to wind up the music box.

@daiseecorn : MOONLIGHT CAN SWEAR?!

@-OPTL- : I am shocked and appalled

“I’m a grown man guys, I can swear- OH SHIT PUPPET’S OUT!” Atsushi screamed.

“YOU FUCKING FAILURE!” Chuuya screamed.

“MOONLIGHT YOU ARE AN IDIOT.” Akutagawa screamed as Puppet got closer.

“Have fun dying guys.” Dazai said as a chorus of screams rang out. Ranpo leaped into Poe’s arms, screaming like a banshee, yosano flung herself backwards, Atsushi started crying, Chuuya clung to Dazai, and Akutagawa let out a slight scream then flipped off his screen.

“Hate this fucking game.” Akutagawa muttered.

“This is all your fault, Moonlight.” Chuuya said from Dazai’s arms. The shippers in the chat were going crazy.

@D3RANG3D_n0nb1nary : KISS KISS KISS KISS

@kipppie : I DONT WANT TO GET BANNED AGAIN BUT YEAH KISS KISS KISS KISS

Chuuya read the messages, his face going increasingly red. Dazai smirked.

“You want a kiss chat? Here.” He grabbed Chuuya’s chin, pulling him into a kiss with one hand, and showing his ring to the camera with the other. After a moment, he pulled away, leaving a flustered chuuya sputtering. The chat went wild, and Dazai grinned, before placing a hand over the camera and ending the stream.
