39. She Chose...

Dream POV

"You fucker," I growl at Elise's picture on the screen.

"So Elise," Austin prompts, trying o keep the ball rolling, despite the awkward signs from Dream and Sapnap. "Why do you think Y/N?"

"Well," she pulls her top up slightly which has been slipping down the whole time, exposing more and more cleavage. "I just feel like Y/N's answers don't suggest she actually is romantically interested in Sapnap. I feel like she's trying to play this perfect persona so he picks her when in reality, she chose host."

Elise's words spin in my brain as I try to dissect everything she said.

Partly true since she's not romantically interested in Sapnap.

Does she want him to pick her?

Did Y/N choose host because she doesn't want me to be upset?

Or did she choose love to try and mess with me?

I hold my breath, waiting for Y/N's reply to Elise.

"That's fair honestly," she says, her words smoothly glossing over the fact that she was just insulted.

"So Y/N, who do you think is the most incompatible with Sapnap here?" Austin brings the question to her.

"Uh," I watch as Y/N pauses, seemingly weighing her options.

If she chooses Elise, Elise will be furious with her.

But everyone else here is so nice.

"I guess I say, Rachel," Y/N says, motioning to the girl who spoke out against Elise earlier. "I don't know but the way she just lashed out at Elise that way, I feel like she and Sapnap wouldn't get along."

I scoff as the words leave her mouth. They sound so precise and calculated like she's trying to do as little damage as possible.

I look down at my phone and notice a text from Y/N.

I want to say Elise so badly.

Her wording seems to work as Rachel doesn't take it nearly as offensive as I thought she would.

"Okay that's fair," she even smiles at Y/N before it drops when she looks at Elise. "Personally I would say that Elise is the most incompatible with Sapnap."

"Me again?!" I yank off my headphones as her screech pierced my ears. I notice that several of the contestants wince.

"Woah, let me turn you down real quick," Austin says. "So Rachel could you elaborate more?"

"Oh gladly," Rachel twists a lock of her long black hair and smiles fairly at Elise.

Oh no.

The next five minutes evolve into a screaming match between the two. Sapnap looks like he wants to just disappear. Eventually, Austin manages to get the two to stop and asks Andrea and Gracie about their answers.

Unsurprisingly, both of them also say Elise, leaving us with a second screaming match for the rest of the time.

"OKAY!" Austin yells over the fighting which causes all of them to shut up. "Dream I need your three eliminations!"

"You got it," I type Elise's name, then Rachel, then Andrea's. Obviously putting Elise as the one to be eliminated.

"Okay Dream had made his choices," Austin declares dramatically.

"It better not me again," Elise complains. I can't help but smile, knowing she's going to be in for quite the shock.

"Gracie," the girl places a hand over her chest as her name is called. "You're safe."

"Thank god," she breathes a sigh of relief and I smile at her cheery disposition.

Maybe it won't be a bad idea to let her win.

"Andrea I'm sorry you are in the bottom three."

"First time I guess," Andrea laughs nervously as she's placed at the bottom of the screen.

"Y/N you're safe," Austin says. I notice he smiles as if he knows a secret. "You've been safe this whole game," he innocently points out.

Y/N just shrugs as she's kept at the top with Gracie.

I steal a glance at the chat and notice that they're all mostly focused on Elise, begging for me to eliminate her. But a few messages pop up now and then, calling me a simp, saying I'm favoring Y/N

"Rachel you are in the bottom three," Austin says.

"HAH!" Elise screams through her mic and I wince again. Rachel scowls and flips her off.

"Elise you are also in the bottom three," Austin continues.

"WHAT?!" she yells as Austin apices her on the bottom.

"Girl, did you fail kindergarten math?" Rachel asks sarcastically, a hint of a smile pulling at her lips. "Three people are in the bottom three. Two are chosen to be safe and two are chosen to be eliminated. Oh, wait you were too busy celebrating that I'm up for elimination that you didn't notice."

Elise stays quiet, fuming under her breath.

"Or maybe you failed math, failed school, and dropped out to become a pornstar."

"HOW DARE YOU?!" Elise yells.

"Dream eliminate her!" Rachel yells and I crack a smile too. "Get this bitch out of my face!"

Yes of course.

"Dream if you don't eliminate her, I'm banning Sapnap from every online chess tournament," Andrea threatens.

Oh no, now what?

I have to eliminate poor Elise.

How... tragic.

"Dream please," Sapnap puts on a puppy dog face and pouts at the camera. "I love chess, I don't wanna get banned."

"DREAM IF YOU ELIMINATE I WILL HATE YOU FOR ALL OF ETERNITY! I WILL SEND MY FANS AFTER YOU!"

"Good," I scoff, unable to hold back my anger any longer. "Send your 5 fans to attack and harass me."

"FIVE?!"

"Yes, your mom, your dad who left your mom but still watches your onlyfans, your ex-boyfriend, your alt account, and your dog's account.

Elise turns bright red as her mouth twists into a scowl.

"Damn Dream," Andrea says. She holds up her hand to the camera. "High-five for that roast."

I hold my hand up to the screen against hers for a second before clapping them together.

"Alright ladies, each of you provide your defense."

"Can I give my time to Elise?" Rachel asks sweetly. "I can see she's just bursting with things to say."

"Can I do the same?" Andrea asks.

Oh, this is going to be funny.

"You guys think you're so funny don't you?" Elise snaps. "Well, I'll show you every reason not to eliminate me!"

I stifle a giggle as she pulls out a pad of paper and a pen. Everyone watches in interest as she furiously scrawls on the paper.

"There," she thrusts the pad to the camera. "Here are my reasons."

"I can barely read what that says," Rachel mutters, twisting her head sideways.

"What the fuck is up with your handwriting?" I ask, smothering my laughter.

"UGH, I HATE YOU ALL!" Elise furiously throws the pad and shakes her finger at the camera. "ESPECIALLY YOU DREAM!"

"Hey, chat has been calling for you to be eliminated from round one," I defend, watching as the chat starts complaining that I threw them under the bus.

Shut it chat. You're less likely to get dozed than me.

"Elise your time is up!" Austin says, even he can't hide his laughter from the ridiculousness of the situation.

"WHAT?! I watch her jump out of her chair and stand up, only for her pink hair to come tumbling off her head.

Rachel bursts into laughter, cackling as Y/N drops her head against the desk in silent laughter.

Sapnap turns away, covering his mouth and I quickly mute to let out some laughter too.

Elise looks horrified as she grabs the pink wig, trying to adjust the bald cap on her head.

"Okay time for the eliminations," Austin gasps out, holding his stomach as he continues to laugh. "Rachel you're safe."

"HAH SUCK IT ELISE!" Rachel flips her off one more time before Austin places her back with Gracie and Y/N.

"Andrea," Austin pauses, even though everyone knows what the outcome will be. Andrea holds her breath, pressing her hands against her face dramatically, and making a scared expression. "You are safe."

"Oh what a relief," she says, sarcasm gracing her voice. "Thank you, Dream. I thought I was going to get eliminated."

"You're welcome," I reply, enjoying the look of pure hatred on Elise's face as she tries to reset the pink wig on her head.

"Which means Elise, you have been eliminated!" Austin tries to deliver it professionally but cuts himself off by laughing as Elise clenches her fists and shakes them up and doesn't

"FUCK YOU ALL!" she screams as Austin changes the screen to magnify her.

"Okay so before the show," Austin lets out another chuckle as Elise proceeds to throw a temper tantrum at her chair. "Elise had the choice between Love and Host, she chose..."

He pauses to let Elise finish taking out her anger.

"LOVE! She chose LOVE!"

"What?!" I can hardly stop myself as the words leave my mouth, luckily I'm not the only one. All the contestants look shocked and Sapnap stares at her in disbelief.

"That's right!" Elise snarls. "I chose love! I could have loved you Sapnap!"

Sapnap frowns and glares at her.

"I wouldn't have wanted your love anyway."

Elise screams so loud I'm pretty sure I'm going to go deaf after this.

"Get her out of here!" Rachel yells and Austin happily obliges, removing her from the call. As she's removed, we see her throw her pink wig at the wall behind her which hits the massive Tv, making it crash down and she runs to try and catch it.

The call bursts into laughter, even Y/N and Gracie don't hide their laughter. We all laugh for a good two minutes before Austin pulls our attention back.

"Okay, okay, let's continue."

I smile and lean back, satisfied that bitch is finally gone.

As Austin begins to ask the next question, I get a text from Y/N.

You were so sure Elise chose host, didn't you?
But she chose love

I can't imagine how wrong you'll be about what I chose

A chill runs up my spine as Y/N smiles at the camera but in reality, I know she's smiling at me.

I still have to choose.

Do I let Y/N win?

But did she pick host or love?
