Ya'll Liv has an IUD btw, I was lookin back at old comments and saw lots of them about the birth control scenario chapter 17 😂😂 IUD's hurt like a bitch when getting them tho beware
Also hi I'm Alli, I've never said my real name I live in Canada
It was two days until Christmas.
Liv had wrapped all the presents she had gotten for her friends and put them under her tree. She was ecstatic for Corpse to open her gifts for him, but she was more excited to be spending it with him. She had gotten back from dropping off presents to Schlatt's house and hanging out a bit so now she sat at her gaming set up. She was streaming some Phasmophobia for a bit but decided to answer some questions soon after.
"You guys like it? It came in the mail two days ago." Liv was referring to the knife she had in her hand. It was a red chrome butterfly knife with a firm black handle. She initially bought it because Corpse had one but she also wanted it for her safety now. "Now I can knife cunts left and right."
Liv read another message in chat.
"Yeah I can flip it a bit but I'm pretty shit at it." Liv tried to demonstrate. "Corpse has been trying to teach me but I've learned I'm a shitty student so..."
Liv didn't miss the snicker that came from her bed, where Corpse lay.
There were a lot of messages asking about Corpse and her. Some of them were a little negative, but the majority were very positive and genuinely curious. There were so many asking about their relationship status, seeing as they hadn't confirmed it officially. Liv debated answering the truth. But then she thought that she should probably check with Corpse first. After all, she knows some of his stans and hers can be pretty possessive.
She decided to answer a different message based on his recent announcement instead.
"His merch is dropping tomorrow! Are you guys excited?" Liv asked her stream. She was trying to flip her knife simultaneously but nearly cut off her finger. Playing off the near-miss was a bit difficult on live stream, but Liv managed. "I'm gunna try and get something too but I hear it's limited quantity."
It was true, his merch was dropping tomorrow, which was December 24th. Liv was going to try her best and buy something off the website because she refused to let Corpse give her one. She wanted to support him and his business as a supportive girlfriend does.
Liv moved onto the next messages. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Corpse move on her bed. He was looking throughout the chat subtly, not wanting them to know he was there. Liv was trying her hardest to ignore him but it was quite hard. He had raided her closet and found a black skirt that he jokingly slipped on. Little did he know, it looked fucking amazing on him. Paired with his cute fucking rings, his dark pink nail polish, and his chains, he looked like someone who would stomp on a grave on their birthday.
"olivesfavoriteolive asked when my collab is going live. Well, hopefully after Christmas but like it depends on a lot of things. I gotta make sure the person I'm doing it with isn't busy, or doesn't cancel, y'know." Liv hoped her viewers couldn't hear the teasing tone in her voice. She threw a quick glance at Corpse, who was sitting on the edge of her bed. He was leaning over on his knees with a hand supporting his chin. He blew his curly hair out of his eyes and sent her a dazzling smile.
Liv quickly turned back to her stream with heat on her cheeks and in her pants. She took a deep breath, craving a glass of cold water. She could still feel the heated gaze on her. With a sigh, she flipped her knife and continued to read her chat.
Sat on Liv's bed, Corpse swung his feet a bit off the edge. He watched as she twirled the red knife between her fingers, occasionally fucking up and nearly hurting herself. As much as Corpse wanted to step in and take it away from her, he couldn't lie. It was really hot.
He let out a sigh and continued to watch her, one hand holding up his chin and the other fiddling with the end of Liv's skirt. He should get one. He watched as Liv would squint her eyes to read the chat, then move back and answer with a smile on her face. Her hair was pushed behind her red headphones with black cat ears, leaving her perfect face free from obstruction. Corpse found himself thinking how cute her nose and eyebrows would look paired with Corpse's eyes. Or wondering how cute a mini Liv would be. He shook his head, shocked at the thoughts. What was he on about?
"EmilyPerkins asked if they are a boy or a girl." Liv debated telling them, but figured she should play it safe. "They're actually an alien. Personally, I find them super sexy and would love to flop my dick across their weirdly bald heads." Liv said seriously, but cracked a smile.
The chat flooded with '👽🤤' emoji's soon after. A bunch of new messages were asking about the theme of the collab. Liv tilted her head to the side. She had quite a few ideas but none were hardcore enough to be on a website that talks about the Devil. With a flip of her red knife, she realized she probably shouldn't think this far ahead. She doesn't even know if Corpse is going to say yes! And she for sure didn't want to pressure him or make him uncomfortable.
Liv stopped flipping her knife. Then she looked at it.
It would match her black and red theme perfectly.
Liv tried not to make it too obvious she was staring at it because she wanted it to be a surprise. But now, she had an idea. If her collaborative partner said yes.
✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧
It was December 24th.
The launch was in five minutes.
Corpse was pacing his room while Liv sat on his bed, her laptop on her lap. They had come over to his house, figuring it was a good idea to switch it up. For some reason, they didn't want to leave each others presence. Yet, they never said it out loud. When Corpse said he was going to go to his house, he automatically assumed Liv was going with him. It was like second nature. Corpse almost worried he was getting too attached to her, but he shook it off.
"It'll be okay! People are going to buy them." Liv tried to reassure Corpse while pushing aside her laptop. At Corpse's set up, his monitor was showing the countdown on his merch website. Liv tried to grab his hand to stop him from pacing but he moved away. That gave a pang in Liv's chest, but she knew it was because he was stressed. Lord knows she sometimes snapped at people when she was stressed.
"No you don't understand, I've never done a merch drop before, what if people hate them?" Corpse continued pacing and pushed a hand through his curls. Liv did understand. "What if people think they're ugly? What if people don't even buy them?!"
Corpse was riling himself up.
Liv got up from his bed and stood in front of him. She grabbed his hands and held onto them so he couldn't move them again.
"Corpse." Liv steadily spoke, making him finally look at her. "People are going to love them, you spent so much time designing them and your fans will see that. Your following has grown so much and everyone has grown to love and support you! People are going to buy them, babe."
Corpse tried to stay focused on the stern look in Liv's hazel eyes and the soothing sound of her voice.
"Either way, it's up to the people who will buy them now." Liv reached a hand up to hold his face. He breathed in deep and stayed focus on her. "If no one buys them, I'll fuckin' buy them all."
Liv was right. It was out of his control now, all he had to do was wait. If no one bought his merch, then so what? He was down quite a few bucks, but it would just be another set back. Corpse had to reassure himself about the following he had. They did love him, for sure. They had to, right? Why would they be following him if they didn't at least like him a bit?
Standing on her tiptoes, Liv reached up and gave him a soft kiss. He shut his eyes, taking in the feeling of her lips. He felt his body relax just a bit with Liv's one hand in his and the other cradling his face. Liv separated and gave him a small smile.
Corpse realized he might have been a bit rude earlier.
"Sorry." He whispered, shaking his head at himself.
"No, no need to apologize." Liv reassured, giving him another kiss. She reached up and ruffled his hair. With a quick glance to the Corpse's computer, her eyes widened.
"Oh, fuck." Liv raced back to her laptop on his bed and got ready.
Corpse turned to look at his monitor as well and saw.
00:00:10
00:00:09
00:00:08
00:00:07
00:00:06
00:00:05
00:00:04
00:00:03
Liv squealed on his bed.
00:00:02
Corpse could hear his heartbeat in his ears.
00:00:01
The website page refreshed on Corpse's computer screen. He watched it for a while, hearing Liv clicking away at her laptop in the back of his mind. Corpse took a step towards his bed and fell into it, Liv's legs now by his head. He swore he could hear the blood flowing away from his heart and to his limbs and back. He didn't know how long he was laying there for before he heard Liv swear.
"Fuck!" She said.
Corpse sat up, looking at her. She looked flustered and a bit upset, but it quickly changed when she saw him looking.
There was a long pause.
"Congratulations..." Liv slowly spoke. Corpse felt his heart rate pick up in an instant. What? "It fuckin' sold out."
A smile spread across Liv's face as she put her laptop aside. She jumped across the bed towards him, wrapping her arms around him so he fell with her.
What?
Sold out?
No fucking way.
"No way, the website must have crashed." Corpse tried to reason, hugging Liv back. The feeling of pressure that her body on top of his gave him was relieving. If his website crashed, he needed to get on it quick.
"Go check!" Liv said and let him get up. She began going on about how exciting it was that everything sold out. Corpse got up slowly and made his way to his laptop. He was almost scared to click the refresh button, but with great strength, he did.
The page refreshed.
SOLD OUT
Sold out. Everything. Sold out.
The hoodies, the masks, the posters... Everything.
Corpse checked the time at the bottom right of his screen.
Eight minutes.
It sold out in eight fucking minutes.
Corpse couldn't believe it. Walking back to his bed, he looked at Liv. She was looking at him with such an excited look in her eyes, both her hands bunched in front of her. Liv's smile seemed to be contagious because a cautious one began to form on Corpse's face.
"I did it." Corpse found himself saying. Emotion began to overflow through his whole body. His head felt light and airy, and his lungs filled with air finally.
"You did it, babe." Liv confirmed.
Before Corpse could overthink anything else, Liv grabbed his hand and pulled him back onto the bed. He made a noise as he hit the bed, but was overcome with happiness when Liv tackled him. They both giggled at the situation and went on about how exciting it was. Corpse still couldn't believe it. The excitement that Liv was giving off made him just as ecstatic about his merch being sold out.
They both laid side by side now, out of breath from the excessive laughter and enthusiasm. The sides of their bodies were touching as they both looked at the ceiling, smiles carved into their faces.
Corpse forgot to ask.
"Did you get anything?"
The question Liv was waiting for.
Shit.
"Yea, I got a hoodie." Liv breathed out. She hoped he didn't notice the pause that she took before speaking, or the way her voice slightly picked up at the end.
Liv didn't think Corpse noticed, but he did.
It did make him a bit sad for her, but it made him ten times more confident about one of the gifts he got her for Christmas.
