part two: battle

Nick was seething with rage at the mere sight of The Gaming Fungus, hands clenching together at his sides, while The Gaming Fungus gave a sly grin upon recognizing him. The Gaming Fungus strolled towards Nick from behind the counter, sneering as he towered over Nick, being a staggering 6'4, while Nick was only 3'1.

Nick glared up at the cocky gamer, The Gaming Fungus rolling his shoulders. "So, Kitten, what brings you here?" Nick could only cringe at the nickname, scowling aggressively. That was only for 'Him' to call him. "What do you want, The Gaming Fungus?" The Gaming Fungus only laughed. "I work here you fucking nerd." "oh." Nick was dumbfounded, but the apron was a clear way to tell he was speaking the truth.

"So, did you wanna order something? Because if not, I'm kicking you out." Nick stuttered while he scrambled to order his drink, as he needed to get his daily dose of caffeine before he dropped dead, due to staying up all night playing videogames, much to his mother's disapproval. "I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I- can I get a-a-a-a-" "Spit it out." "a coffee?"

The Gaming Fungus nodded, turning around to make Nick his coffee. Nick stared at The Gaming Fungus' muscular back, and while it was rather hot to watch him, all Nick could think about was putting a knife in it. The only reason he held back was because he was in public, and he really needed that coffee.

The Gaming Fungus promptly returned to Nick, a poorly made coffee in hand. He shoved it into Nick's chest, quickly ushering him to leave. Nick followed the command, although shouted over his shoulder at The Gaming Fungus as he left. "I'm leaving a bad Yelp review!" The Gaming Fungus partially shat himself, but he sucked it back up before anyone could smell it.

Nick returned home, tired and weary. He looked at his computer, having passed by his mother. She yelled at him for not wiping his shoes before walking on the carpet, screaming about how she "Just Cleaned It!". Nick didn't care- he had to get comfort from 'Him'. Opening Discord, he saw he had 69,026,420,111,123 notifications from a simple username... "Jasper 😈".
