Chapter 21 - Midnight Text

Once Kanzaki finished his workout and was back in his apartment he took a quick shower to clean all the sweat off of his body before laying in his bed. As he was laying there he decided that he would check out Hinojosaiii's stream that was currently live.

Hinojosaiii was trying the game that Kanzaki had played earlier in the day and gained a viral clip from. While Kanzaki was watching he was surprised to see that Hinojosaiii was actually quite good at the game and even possibly better than Kanzaki himself.

When he saw this he couldn't help but smile and be glad that there were other streamers playing the game he enjoyed. Another thing that Kanzaki thought about was how he missed playing with others. While he might enjoy having his chat talking with him and they could be considered other people what he really wanted was someone to play games with to actually commentate with him having a great time.

Sadly from what he had seen it was quite common for streamers to play on their own and not talk to anyone else. It was a lonely life and one of the few disadvantages Kanzaki had seen with streaming so far. He could always play offline but by the time he can do that it's already late and he needs to sleep so if he stays up he won't be able to give his 100% while streaming.

'So many choices.' Kanzaki sighed as he continued to watch Hinojosaiii's stream.

The stream went on for a while but when Kanzaki checked the time and saw it was almost midnight he decided to stop watching and get some rest for the next day. Right as Kanzaki lay down and was about to fall asleep he heard a loud buzz from his phone and also the notification that made him know it was Tweeter.

'Who in the world?' Kanzaki thought as he sat up and grabbed his phone. Ever since he started gaining followers he decided to turn his private messages off and leave them on for only those that he follows. People could still request to message him but he would have to go through and click accept before he actually began getting notifications.

The reason that he did this in the first place was due to the large number of followers he was getting and not only that but there were many people messaging for stupid reasons or just trying to bother him in general.

There were some nice messages of encouragement among the annoying ones and he always made a point to try and respond to every single one that he saw because he felt it was his duty to appreciate his fans as best he could because they're what has made him get this far.

When Kanzaki opened Tweeter he saw he actually had a message from Hinojosaiii, 'I thought he was streaming?' Kanzaki thought in confusion as he checked Witch to be sure that he was live but surprisingly Hinojosaiii's stream was now offline.

"I guess I left right on time." Kanzaki whispered chuckling to himself. Kanzaki then opened the message from Hinojosaiii and was surprised by its contents.

[Hinojosaiii: Hey sorry to bother you so late but I was just checking to see what your schedule was like tomorrow?]

When Kanzaki read this message he was slightly confused since he had no idea what Hinojosaiii was trying to do. Was he trying to figure out when he was streaming so he could join and watch? That couldn't be the case because Kanzaki had released his schedule which had also been liked by Hinojosaiii. Kanzaki had no clue what he was getting at so he just decided to answer truthfully.

[Mask: I'm playing that new game again tomorrow. It was a lot of fun and my viewers seem to enjoy it as well.]

When Kanzaki sent that message he was interested to see what Hinojosaiii said so he just waited in anticipation as Hinojosaiii typed. After a few seconds of typing there was a new message.

[Hinojosaiii: Well that's perfect! I already checked your schedule and we'll be streaming at the same time tomorrow since I have something to do later in the day. I was mainly messaging you to see if you wanted to collab tomorrow?]

'A collab?' Kanzaki thought in confusion as he read the message. It wasn't a term he was familiar with despite watching streams and playing games for a decent amount of time.

[Mask: What exactly is a collab?]

Kanzaki had no clue what Hinojosaiii meant so he was just honest because he truly wanted to understand what he meant. However, Kanzaki felt a little embarrassed after he sent the message because Hinojosaiii quickly sent back a meme of someone face-palming and saying, 'Are you serious?'

Before Kanzaki could even explain himself Hinojosaiii was typing once more so Kanzaki just waited to see what he said.

[Hinojosaiii: A collab is a stream where two streamers or more play together while both streaming. It's a way to have fun while also getting viewers from each other. In a sense we're helping each other out while having a good time. I haven't been able to play with anyone else in a while due to my stream schedule but now that I have time I want to with you since I enjoy your streams so much.]

When Kanzaki read the message and finally understood the meaning behind collab he couldn't help but let a wide smile appear on his face. For multiple reasons this was a great opportunity not only for Kanzaki but also for Hinojosaiii. Since Kanzaki saw there was no reason to say no he quickly replied with his confirmation back.

[Mask: That sounds awesome! Thanks for explaining and should we stream the game at my start time tomorrow?]

[Hinojosaiii: Yeah that sounds good to me. Well, I have to go eat now I'm starving after streaming that long. See you tomorrow.]

After Kanzaki and Hinojosaiii finished messaging Kanzaki went to sleep with a wide smile on his face excited for the next day.
