woo and I have made it really far for it only being a week. we made a house now and we have a couple dinosaurs, not many though, and certainly not a raptor. just five dilos and two gay males, living it up in a fantasy land. I smile as I recall when I finally asked him which way he swings.

"hey woo?"
"what is it sannie?", he's rubbing my temples and I can feel his breath on my forehead from the close proximity. my heart flutters a little too much from it than I feel normal.
"are you, you know"
"I don't know? you're gonna have to be more specific than that, sweetheart"
I take in a breath, "boys?"
"I mean, do you fancy them? like fancy fancy them?"
wooyoung stops rubbing my temples and makes direct eye contact when he looks down at me in his lap, "are you asking if I'm gay?"
"I mean, yes?"
"well, you could've just said so, and yes, yes I am. do you have any issue with that?"
"if I did I would hate myself too. I think it's rather nice, just the two of us, gay males, living in a video game, alone together. this is basically a really strange tinder date, not that they're usually normal though"
wooyoung chuckles and gently moves my head over so that I'm laying on the leaf pile now. "I think you're starting to think about this too much, let's get some sleep, hm?"
I'm assuming from that point that the reply he received was my soft snores.

I'm glad I know now, but now I'm in denial. hard core denial. there is no way in hell I like a man who looks and smells like a raisin. but his laugh, god, it's so loud and obnoxious, yet my heart palpitates every time I cause it. then there's when I hear his voice, it's so smooth that I forget I ever had any problems. but then th-

the door opens, revealing a sweaty woo with his hair tied back. I fumble my arms around for no reason at all then sit down, trying to act like I wasn't just drooling over him, "you look like eren yeager season 3, what happened?"
"I went out searching for more of those notes, the ones that have information about the dinosaurs"
"okay, and?"
"and I don't know what type of suicide mission this game is trying to send us on, but I went to the destination and there was not one, but three allosauruses, I've never wanted to cry so hard in my life"
"holy crap, better you than me though"

wooyoung bites his lip, looking like he wants to say something. "what's up? spit it out, whore"
he glances at me and our eyes meet and he immediately looks away, "i-it's nothing"
"if you say so", I shrug turning to the wooden chest we made the day before and grabbing out some spears, "I'm going hunting for food, I'll be back in a bit"

once I'm out of sight from woo, I bend over a body of water and look into it. splashing water into my face, I sigh, "I need to calm down"

I almost grabbed his face to kiss him.

my eyes trail off into the distance as san disappears to who knows where to get us food. I finally fall back onto the bed and run a hand through my hair, "god, he's beautiful." one week has passed and I've been with san for a little over 168 hours. during those moments, I've learned many things about san. he really likes to pout first of all, he needs to cuddle things in his sleep (which is really hecking cute), and he would do anything to make me laugh. to say I'm whipped is an understatement.

a smile unknowingly curves on my face as I fawn over the boy. I wonder what he actually looks like, I mean he sounds like a twink, but who knows.

then, I frown, remembering what happened a few days ago. san was wondering where I was from since I spoke korean. I was able to say korea, but the city name couldn't be heard by him. it was almost like in roblox when they replace everything with stupid hashtags.

if we ever got out of here, I wanted to met him in real life and maybe take him out somewhere where there aren't dinosaurs and cliffs at every turn. but, it seems like I won't be able to unless I can track him down among millions of people, which would be pretty amazing. I nod off, thinking of all the possibilities.

my eyes eventually close, I'm not sure when, but I wake up when a scream rips through the air. I jump off the bed in panic, rushing towards it immediately. it seems that san just can't avoid trouble.
