But then it hits him. He and Slime had talked about hypotheticals while they were filming the podcast. Slime basically told him that he’d be happier if he wasn’t famous and Ludwig told him that was fucking stupid because he’s really fucking happy now and he’s pretty sure the fortunate circumstances of having the job he loves actually make him a shitload of money makes it easier to be happy anyway. Money doesn’t buy happiness, sure, but it sure as fuck makes a difference.
And now he’s standing in a world where a million little things are slightly off but there’s one glaringly obvious difference: in this universe, he never got famous. It’s like some sort of divine punishment or some shit. He has to be unhappier here so that he can prove Slime wrong. It shouldn’t be hard, though. He works at fucking GameStop.
He hears the familiar cadence of Aiden’s feet flopping down the stairs and sees him a moment later, standing in Ludwig’s boxers and his hoodie with mussed hair and a sleepy smile that he can only describe as fond.
Actually, maybe a few things are different.
Ludwig wakes up in a world where he never got famous. On his way home, he learns a few things about himself.
