Foolish put his hand up to his mouth, stressed, after a tough match of Valorant. Punz had been watching his stream from the other room, huddled under blankets, watching old HunterxHunter episodes. He peeked over to his laptop to find Foolish nibbling at his nails. Quickly, he typed out in chat, "stop biting ur nails". Foolish's hand vanished from the camera, he was giggling.
"Hi Punz!" Foolish exclaimed, he hadn't seen him all day, IRL or in chat. "How are you? I thought you were watching old HunterxHunter episodes."
'i am, just have ur stream up on my laptop'
"Ohh, okay!" Foolish instinctively pulled his hand up towards his mouth, nibbling on his nails again.
'if u dont stop biting ur nails im gonna come in there and hold ur hands each time u do it'
Punz light-heartedly typed, though the thought of holding Foolish's hands made him smile. Foolish read the message out loud, his face turning a noticeable red as he giggled. The chat zoomed by with HUH's and KEKW's.
After a moment of light laughter, Foolish
moved on. Asking what he should get for dinner, and what chat wanted to watch while he ate. He ordered his food, putting on some Daily Dose while he went to pick it up.
After bringing the food to his room, he left again, this time going to Punz's room. He knocked on the door and waited for the sweet, honey toned voice talking back. Foolish opened the door, it creaked.
"Hey, um, Punz?"
"Yeah?"
"Were you being… serious about holding my hands if I bit my nails?" Foolish sounded timid, he liked the thought of Punz holding his hands.
"Oh, um, no, not really, haha. It was, um, light-hearted, but, um, yeah. Biting your nails isn't good." Punz sounded flustered, caught off guard by the question. He tried to hide his pink face.
"Oh… um, okay. I-I was just wondering. I do-I do need to stop biting my nails, though. Um, anyways, I'll see you later."
Foolish slid out the door, closing it behind him. Now Punz was stuck; it sounded like Foolish wants to hold hands, and he just rejected him. 'Why did I do that?' he mumbled to himself. He stared at his laptop screen, the camera fully on this beautiful boy. He watched as Foolish slowly moved his hand towards his mouth, only to pull it away seconds later. He could tell he really wanted to stop biting his nails.
"Guys I- stop asking where I went!" Foolish giggled. "I went to get a drink, I didn't order one."
Punz smiled, typing in chat to play along.
'its true he did i was the liquid'
Foolish sunk down in his chair, his laughter getting heavier. The chat was rushing with different emotes, comments and questions. Punz himself started laughing, he loved Foolish's laugh.
After a while, Foolish finished his food, and instinctively started biting his nails, he didn't notice. Punz did, though. He unwrapped himself from his blanket burrito and walked into Foolish's room. He was greeted with a smile and a giggle.
"Foolish, give me your hand."
"Why?"
"Just do it, trust me." Punz was not in frame, he winked at Foolish. Based off his reaction, the chat erupted with HUH's. Foolish lifted one hand and placed it in Punz's palm.
"Wait, you meant it?!" Foolish exclaimed, looking up at him.
"Yes, yes I did, bubby. Give me your other hand."
Foolish's hands were now trapped by Punz's hands, he didn't care. Punz moved a chair over and sat down, resting his head on Foolish's shoulder.
