hi!! can i get something angsty with wilbur? they/them pronouns please :) thank you so much!! feel free 2 ignore this btw <3
Fame is Happiness, Fortune is Gold
I wasn't really sure where to go with this request, so I just went with the flow of my creative juices... I hope you enjoy!
Pairing: Wilbur x GN!Reader - Angst
Description: Fame and fortune will mean nothing when you have nobody by your side. He taught you that in the hardest way possible.
Warning(s): Language, probably horribly written angst.
Song recommendation: Since I Saw Vienna - Wilbur Soot
A/N: I do believe that I am TERRIBLE at writing serious angst, so please forgive me if it's dog shit-
You had finally done it. Your eyes teared up seeing '100k' in bold writing on the monitor in front of you. Hitting one-hundred-thousand subscribers on YouTube had been your biggest accomplishment ever, and you could faintly remember what he said to you that night. You should've listened. You should've paid more attention. You should've kept thinking outside the box. But now, here you were, stuck inside the infinite loop of increasing numbers with only the thought of wanting your name to be bigger. He warned you, and you finally understood the meaning of "you'll reap what you sow".
You stared blankly at your illuminated screen just as that number hit 15 million. That same number that you had been jumping for joy over, not so long ago. That same number that caused you to lose them. That caused you to lose him. So now you sat, alone, in your dark recording room. The only light coming from your 3 monitors and LED PC case. You felt happy on the inside, you really did. But something was telling you that it wasn't enough. You needed a higher number than that. If Dream could do it, so could you.
Yet, as your eyes were trained on those last 3 zeros, you thought back to that night. It might not have been this way if you had heeded his warning...
"I'm so proud of you, mate! You finally hit 100k!" He said, patting you on the shoulder as you let out tears of happiness. Your smile was ever so wide as you wiped your tears.
"I can't believe this is happening! I mean, one hundred thousand people out of this entire world enjoy my content! It's such a mind-blowing concept!" You replied, leaning back in your chair. 'This was it,' you thought. It was just you, your channel, Wilbur, and your friends. 'That's all I'll ever need,' is what you told yourself.
"Well, with a big sub count comes big responsibility. Don't let it get to your head, (Y/N). I know you won't because you're the smartest human I know, but just in case. Fame won't keep you happy for very long, and fortune isn't all that," He warned, brown eyes trailing back to the computer screen.
You scoffed and waved a hand dismissively, "I know that, Wilbur. I won't be like that, I promise. It's not like I'll get invested. I only want the people to be happy with my content."
Yeah, right.
"I told you this would happen! Why didn't you listen?! It's in your head now, (Y/N)!" It's already been 7 months since your big 100k debut on YouTube, and since then, your channel had only continued to grow. It was mostly due to your appearances in other creator's videos, such as Dream and TommyInnit, but it was growth nonetheless.
"It's not in my head! I was just saying that I'm already at 5 million and that I'd like the number to be bigger, is all! That's not being in my head!" You defended, crossing your arms.
Wilbur shook his head, disappointed, "You don't even hear yourself, do you? I warned you! And you promised that you wouldn't let this happen!" He said, staring down at you with hurt in his eyes, "What happened to not getting invested, and only wanting the people to be happy? Where did that go?"
You rolled your eyes, "It's still there, Will. But I want to be happy too! And guess what? I'm happy when I make good content because good content produces big numbers! The bigger the number, the more content I create and the cycle goes on!"
The silence after that was deafening. You wanted nothing more than to go out and have a little fun before recording another video, but you couldn't help but watch the numbers as they ascended.
"...You know what? Fine. Enjoy your big numbers, (Y/N)."
And like that, he was gone. He left. A few days later, the two of you had talked it out, and eventually, all the tension had subsided, but you quickly started drifting apart. He wanted one thing, you wanted another, and that caused a rift in your relationship that went completely unnoticed until the gap was so wide that you had to question when it began.
"I'm so sorry Will... It's been two years and we still haven't spoken. I should've listened... You were right... Fame isn't happiness, and fortune isn't gold."

Also, i think I’m gonna try to write longer fics like this?
For the imagines, i may add a gif in the beginning as well.

...
Being injured sucked.
I couldn’t go on the road with my boyfriend Adam Cole or Undisputed Era as they were on the NXT Tour. A few weeks ago, right before the tour was going to start, I was in a match with Candice LeRae. Everything was going fine until I tried to run up the ropes and backflip onto Candice. A move I have done over a hundred times. When I landed I knew something was wrong. With my not so stellar history of knee injuries, this was the worst one.
Doctors said I tore my ACL and would be out for 6 months. The only good thing was that when NXT came back to Full Sail, I could at least there backstage since Adam and I lived in Orlando.
Adam luckily was able to stay with me for a few days after my surgery. He helped me hobble along and took me to my physical therapy sessions. 
4 times a week. 
It was very convenient that the Performance Center was where I was rehabing my injury, so it was a very short drive. With 4 days a week, I was trying to push myself to be better: faster and stronger. 
   “Babe, we are only on the road for like 2 more weeks”
I sighed at my phone and Adam rolled his eyes at me.
   “Trust me, I would much rather be there with you, helping you get better. But bein champ, I gotta be out here.”
   “Yeah I know, it’s just...lonely here I guess.”
   “I know it is baby. 2 more weeks and I will be by your side.”
   “And I cannot wait. I need my baybay here with me.”
He chuckled and I felt my heart swoon. His damn smile always gave me butterflies.
   “Y/n, you are so strong. I know this injury sucks, but if anyone can get through it, you can. Hey, I gotta go, our match is up next.”
   “Thanks Adam. I love you baby. Go kick some ass!”
   “Anything for you sugar. I love you too.”
He blew me a kiss and hung up.
...
I should have known.
Without Adam by my side, I was the target of endless flirting from guys who wouldn’t dare if Adam were here. The worst was Riddick Moss.
Since Riddick didn’t have a storyline, he stayed back from the tour. Every time I was at the PC for PT, I would catch him glancing over at me. Mind you, I couldn’t wear pants cause I had almost a full knee brace on. So I would always wear shorts and some kind of t-shirt, usually one of Adam’s. Yes, I am that girlfriend.
Today was the worst of it.
After my PT session, I decided to stick around the PC. I was told I could get in the ring and start doing some activity. I still had at least 4 months till I could be back on tv. 
I started with just some squats, but i could feel his eyes on my ass. I tried to shake it off, but he kept staring.
(Only 1 more day till he’s home)
That’s all I kept thinking to myself. When I started trying to do some high knees in the corner, Riddick came into the ring. I could feel him gettin closer. No one else was paying attention to us. I sensed he was close so I turned and cocked my fist at him.
   “Woah, hey hey baby. Watch yourself.”
He said as he caught my arm. I struggled against his grip but he just whispered in my ear.
   “No Adam here to save you baby girl.”
He slid his hand up my leg not covered with the brace. My body tensed up and I slapped him good and hard. It echoed around the PC. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at us.
   “I don’t need him to save me from dickheads like you!”
I spat in his face and pushed him. When he stumbled back, I took my chance and got out of the ring as quick as i could.
...
I woke up to the front door being closed. I shot up in bed and looked toward my closed bedroom door. I saw the doorknob turn slowly and i smiled my cheesiest grin when Adam walked through the door. He didn’t notice me up till he turned back around after closing the door.
   “Babe! what the hell are you doin up?”
   “I heard the front door slam and knew it was you.”
He walked over to the bed and lay down next to me.
   “I tried to be quiet. I didn’t want to wake you up. But I missed you oh so much.”
He planted a sweet kiss on my lips before I cuddled up into his chest.
   “I missed you so fucking much. You have no idea...”
...
Having Adam at my side at the PC was a weight off my shoulders. My therapist said that I was getting stronger and could do more stuff in the ring. Adam being the amazing boyfriend he is said he would lock up with me.
I couldn’t shake Riddick’s eyes still glued to me. I kept gettin distracted and Adam noticed.
   “Y/n, are you okay? You seem like you aren’t interested in lockin up.”
   “I guess I’m just...”
I trailed off and turned my head to see Riddick’s eyes locked on mine. My body tensed up again and Adam followed my eyes.
   “What the hell did he do to you?”
Adam’s voiced was raised. Before I could even say anything, Adam was in Riddick’s face.
   “You think you can try and hit on my girlfriend? You sick fuck! Shes injured and you clearly are tryin shit you shouldn’t be.”
Wrestlers from around the PC tried to separate the two after Adam got a good swing in on his face. I hobbled over to Adam and grabbed his shoulders.
   “Babe, save it for the ring. You can kick his ass there and I can watch ringside.”
