Chapter Text

Your name is John Egbert and your hoping to God that after this disconnection the next person that comes up won’t be another douche bag jerking off into the camera. You cover one of your hands over your glasses with the other one hovering over the disconnect button just incase. It would’ve been more practical to just take your glasses off, seeing as you could barely see anything with them off anyway, but it would have to work for now because you can hear sounds of movement coming from the speakers of your computer. You slowly move your fingers in a way to peek through them while still keeping your shield intact just incase it was indeed another douche jacking off to the camera.

“Sup?” Came the reassuring voice of a blond haired boy wearing black aviators on his face. You sigh in relief as you also notice he’s wearing a baseball tee with red sleeves complete with a cracked record in the middle of his shirt. Not to mention that the lighting on the screen is almost blinding with the white of his walls. You deemed him safe and fully removed your hand from your glasses

“Oh thank god! Jade you can open your eyes!” You exclaim as you nudge Jade’s elbow so she can let go of her face too.

“John I swear if your pranking me into looking at another guy jack off I won’t visit you for three years!” Never the less she removed her hands off her face and looked skeptically at the computer screen only to brighten up at seeing a normal guy in place of usually someone fapping off or just about to fap off. She gasped in delight as she gripped your arm before she let go and waved at the screen. “Hi my name’s Jade, what’s your’s?”

“The name’s Dave. How many times you guys been on here that your so scared of seeing some dude’s junk?” You stare at the screen as you hear his deep yet relaxing voice come out of the speakers. You swear that you can hear a faint southern drawl mixed in it.

“I’ve been on a couple times with some of my friends but this is John’s first time! I dared him he couldn’t last twenty minutes on here.” She laughed excitedly. You give yourself a face palm at how much she’s telling a complete stranger.

“How long it’s been since you guys started then?” You check the time on the right bottom side of the screen.

“About eleven minutes. I’m amazed I’ve stayed on this long.” You chuckle at the thought of actually being able to win this bet unlike many of the others you and Jade have made over the years.

“So who gets what out of the bet?” You look over Jade while she giggles cutely to the question.

“Well John has to let me give him a makeover, dress and all, if I win!” You shake your head at the ridiculous image you picture of yourself of being dressed up with make up and a small girls summer dress. Your face scrunches up in disgust while pouting at the same time from the image that now won’t get out of your head. It’s not even that you find it disgusting really, just that it’s unusual punishment. Jade looks to you with a cruel smirk as if knowing what your thinking about right before she lets out a little laugh and she’s back to looking at the computer screen with the cool looking kid on it. Dave turns his head in your direction with an eyebrow raised as if asking you what happens if you win. You rub the back of your neck shyly giving out a small laugh almost akin to the one Jade had just expressed.

“And well if I win Jade here has to finish up her last school year here with me instead of being home schooled like she regularly is.” You watch as the cool kid nods his head in understanding while you smile to Jade. You are actually now having fun as opposed to the last eleven minutes you guys had shared skipping through guys jerking off, porn website ads, snooty bitches that would disconnect right after seeing you, and the occasional points game where you do whatever is written for the highest score. You had to admit the first one you guys actually sat there playing was pretty fun. Well until it got extreme in which the guy was asking to remove articles of clothing.
“So you guys date then?” Dave leans back in his computer chair becoming more slackened than he was when sitting up close to his computer monitor as you scrunch up your face once again but this time at the thought of dating your first cousin and closest thing to a sister you’ve ever had. You notice Jade is making the same exact face.

“God no, were just really close cousins.” Jade began to laugh at the statement she had just made from how ridiculous it was to think you guys were actually dating. You guys did practically look like brother and sister after all. More like twins if you really thought about it the only thing that was different was eye colors, you having blue and Jade having green, and her being a little tanner than you. Oh and also the fact that’s she was a girl and you were a boy, but other than that you both had black hair, glasses, buck teeth, and the same facial features. It was remarkable to know that she wasn’t your long lost twin sister, like in The Parent Trap where Lindsay Lohan plays both girls who find out they are long lost twins that lived separate from each other with one parent each. But alas she’s just your first cousin in which both her parents died and she had to live with their grandpa for obvious reasons of it just being your father to take care of you.

“Oh shit my bad, it’s just you guys look like you’d make a cute couple.” Jade snickered at the comment.

She pointed her thumb back towards you with a questioning face. “Cute couple with this dork? I don’t think so.” She laughed out as you pouted. You knew she was joking but you had a feeling she was right on some level seeing as you weren’t the best when it came to relationships. You shrug playfully as if saying what you want me to do about it before looking down to the clock to check the time.

“Hey Jade five more minutes and I win.” You wiggle your eyebrows at her disapproving face. Looking back to the computer monitor you wonder why this dude hasn’t disconnected from you guys yet. Normally if you weren’t having a continuous conversation with the other person they’d get bored and switch to a new person. “So uh do you have a Pester Chum?” Dave nods nonchalantly. “Cool, you wanna add each other as contacts?”

Jade pushes you to the side excitedly exclaiming “Me too! Me too!” You laugh at her huge smile when Dave simply nods in agreement. You watch as he types something on the keyboard waiting for it to pop up on the left side of the screen used for chat when people didn’t have microphones. “Turn tech God head, no spaces right?” The blonde kid nodded his head again. “Ok then, my turn!” You watched as Jade pounded out gardenGnostic on it before pressing enter and sliding over for you to type your chum handle in, ectoBiologist. Jade then copied Dave’s chum handle before opening up the Pester Chum client on your desktop. She lets you sign in and then pastes his name into the Chumroll. “Alright, there! John has your Pester Chum now and I’m sending myself a pester for later to add you onto mine!”

“Cool. Guess I’ll talk to ya guys later then.” You look down to the clock on the side of your screen to find that you had won the bet three minutes ago. Jade doesn’t look to happy knowing that she couldn’t dress you up anymore but smiles at how happy you look right now. Both you and Jade bring your attention back to the cool kid waiting patiently just incase you guys wanted to say anything else to him before you all said your farewells.

“Bye Dave!” You say in unison before watching him give a little wave and disconnecting from you guys. Jade quickly clicks x on the tab before you get a new person; done with the use of the meeting strangers website now that the bet was over. She heaved a long heavy sigh while getting up from her chair to stretch. When finished she smiles widely to you. “He was reeeeeeally cute!” You laugh at her reaction while shaking your head.

Notes:

Not sure how to tag this especially cause this is the first thing I'm uploading on here so sorry if it's a little confusing. Also I'm not sure to what the rating for this will be just yet cause honestly it was supposed to be a one shot but I ended up starting a second chapter the other day. Bare with me as I learn how to use AO3, I apologize in advance if I make things confusing.
