Chapter Text
The livestream was going well—at least, it had started out that way. Felix, aka Pewds, was doing a joint stream with Jacksepticeye, playing some ridiculous co-op game. But his computer, stubborn as ever, kept crashing mid-game. After several frustrated sighs, Felix turned to his chat, explaining that he was going to call someone to fix it.
"Ugh, sorry guys, I have no idea what’s going on," Felix muttered, scratching the back of his head. "I think my PC’s dying. Lemme call my brother, see if he can come over and help. He’s good with this stuff."
Jack, ever the jokester, feigning surprise knowing that nobody knew Felix had a brother, chimed in. “Wait, did you just say brother? You have a brother? I thought you had a sister!”
“Yeah, I do, Fenny - who everyone knows already,” Felix said casually, as if it wasn’t news to millions of fans. “and Sam. He’s a mechanical engineer, does some motorsport thingy. Pretty boring.”
The chat exploded instantly with questions and shocked reactions.

User1: "PEWDS HAS A BROTHER???"
User2: "WHO’S SAM??"
User3: "HOW DID WE NOT KNOW THIS???"
---
Felix hasn't even noticed the fan reaction, already dialling Sam’s number while Jack sat back in smug silence, watching the chat freak out. The call was short and sweet. "Hey, Sam? Yeah, my computer’s being stupid again. Can you come over real quick? Yeah, thanks."
Minutes passed, and Felix distractedly scrolled through his phone while Jack entertained the audience. Then, the doorbell rang.
"Hang on, that’s him," Felix said, disappearing from the screen for a second. When he returned, a tall figure followed him into the room.
The chat went absolutely wild.
Sam had black hair styled into an overgrown mullet that fell messily around his face, held back by a bandana. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt that showed off his toned, slightly muscular arms, which flexed every time he adjusted his grip on Felix’s computer. He didn’t say much, just nodded at Felix and got to work, crouching down in front of the PC, picking it up and on the table, pulling it apart like he had done it a hundred times before.

User4: "OMG WHO IS THIS????"
User5: "IS SAM SINGLE?????"
User6: "HELLO, SAM, NICE ARMS!"
User7: "THAT MULLET THO 😍😍"

Felix and Jack couldn’t help but chuckle at the exploding chat, but Felix remained focused on Sam.
"Need anything else?" Sam asked in a deep voice, standing up after fiddling with the computer for a few minutes. His arms were glistening slightly from the exertion as he dusted his hands off.
"No, that should do it. Thanks, man," Felix replied, glancing at his now-revived PC.
Sam turned to the screen, saw Jack and gave a polite nod. "Hi, Jack," he said casually, waving.
Jack waved back, a bit wide-eyed. "Hey, Sam. Thanks for saving the day, man."
With that, Sam left, exiting as mysteriously as he arrived. Felix settled back into his chair, fixing his headset. "Alright, let's see if this thing actually works now."
But before he could continue the stream, the chat was still going insane, demanding answers.
Felix sighed, glancing at Jack, who was grinning ear to ear. "Fine, fine," Felix said, leaning forward to read the chat. "Yes, that was my brother, Sam. No, I guess I never really mentioned him because, well, he’s busy. He’s, like, a mechanical engineer for some motorsports thingy as I already said. Pretty boring, if you ask me. And he's never home, basically."
Jack laughed. "Boring? Your chat seems to think otherwise."

User8: "HE'S HOT, FELIX."
User9: "DOES HE HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?"
User10: @User9 "BOYFRIEND???"
---
Felix raised an eyebrow, glancing at the chat. "Uh... I don’t know? I think he mentioned a girlfriend—or maybe a boyfriend? I’m not really sure. I haven’t met them yet."
Jack cackled, "The internet’s going to explode now."
Shrugging, Felix continued, "Anyway, back to the game. Can we focus on something other than Sam now?"
