BNHA: Dual Fates.

Chapter 26: Unexpected Date?!

It was nighttime, with the moon high and the stars bright, crickets were happy enough to sing their songs outside. However, Uviel's fingers tapped at the buttons on her controller as she sat there wandering in Stargazers. It was clear that boredom was getting the better of her, with her eyes half-lidded and her shoulders slouched as she made her character spin in circles rather quickly. The stick on her controller was being abused by her thumb the faster she made it spin in a perfect 360.

Her blue hues watched her character do the same and had a small glint of amusement spark when she saw her character's scarf flail abnormally. A tiny smirk played at her lips when she let out a giggle, even more so, when the scarf began to stretch unnaturally around her character and almost made her look like a mummy. Even the bow on her digital backside abnormally shook, while the hood on her head was hard to see.

What she wasn't expecting was for a male character in the arena to approach her, clad in red and black Knight armor and a large, spiky great sword that emitted a radiant glow. Abruptly, she stopped her character's relentless spins and fully faced the Knight. Uviel had to get a better look at the name and eventually came to recognize the armor, it was Kirishima. "Shit! He saw me being stupid!" devastation fell over her face as she stared at the one boy she couldn't pass.

Kirishima's character performed an emote that made him do a hearty laugh, which only made the redhead heavily blush and bury her face behind the controller. Seriously, out of all times? He chose to appear when I'm goofing off? her irritated thoughts echoed. It was strange though, he stopped moving as if he went afk, but, her confusion was soon replaced with a bit of surprise when her phone began to ring.

Quickly, as it sat next to her sounding off its alarm, her pale hand picked it up and laid it between her ear and shoulder. "H- Hey," nervous beyond measure, her cheeks burned while her character idly stood there with her arms folded.

"Hey! I couldn't help but notice you were spinning like mad! What were you trying to do? Oh- I also sent you a rank challenge and a friend request!" hearing his energetic voice fill her ears only made her heart ram against her ribs faster. That didn't stop her from opening her friends list and checking the friend invitations tab. Quickly, she confirmed it and took her time answering the boy.

"I-- I was just watching my scarf wig out. It was glitching like crazy when I was turning her and just decided to, um... Make her spin faster. It was funny, the scarf kept wrapping around my character so much that I couldn't see her and my bow kept spazzing. It was worth the amusement.~" Saito did her best to conceal her giggle and not too much longer did she navigate to the rank challenge window to the right of her screen. There she saw Eijiro's request, it made her heart flutter and more nervousness well up inside.

"Hahahaha!" That was all she could hear from her phone. The girl's eyes watched his character hop up and down, eventually leading up to him doing the same thing to his Knight. Making him spin rapidly in place and causing his red cape to glitch beyond control, now it was Uviel's turn to laugh.

"Hahaha, see?! It looks so stupid!" She nearly dropped her controller when his cape became so stiff, that it was only him spinning and not the cap anymore. The girl could hear his laughter grow harsher at the glitch, which only made hers worse.
