To My First Love

~Our Story~

Our story began in the most magical way possible. Just like a knight rescuing a princess and how special it felt knowing we somehow had a red string tied to our pinkies. Something that was as if it were written in the stars and for screen. I believe that Fate works in the most mysterious of ways.

Officially we were introduced to each other on February 1st. The start of a new month and change that unfreezes the Winter's cold heart. It was at that moment, I saw Spring within us. We met playing Dragon Raja, a mobile MMORPG game. I had been playing for about a year and a half already. I had quite a bit of friends, I was strong in my class and I was well known for my fashionable outfits. Of course, when I had started playing Dragon Raja... I'd always dreamt of finding love just like all haphazard meetings many create.

That is until one fateful day, you picked me up in a dungeon and might I add, my least favourite dungeon. Which soon became my favourite one because of the precious memory we held. From there on that day, you shattered my frozen heart. The heart that knew no love and gave up on the hopes of finding it. You made me daring and willing to try, so I slowly pursued you. The days passed and my interest in you only grew. So I shyly approached you, scouring the worlds and instances to find your location and watching your duels. All because I just wanted to be close or get to know you more. Eventually we really got to talking by the third day and what captivated me the most was the questions you posed that day. The first question you asked me was deep. You asked me what I thought about the world and where or positions lie. Talking about outer terrestrials and how we are so minute to much larger things in life. I wasn't talking to someone hiding behind a screen but someone real. Never have I met someone so real yet someone who wanted to hear my opinion. It was only from there did conversations come every day. I was nothing but thoughtful, sweet, encouraging and bright because it felt right. I was sparked with pure optimism that I wanted to share with you. We flirted around and talked throughout the day, no second with you was boring. I saw colours in 7 bands and they dyed the grey spaces I almost faded into.

Until the 8th is when we bonded in game. On the 17th, I went on a real-life date with someone else. Prior that day, I debated on canceling because just only 3 days prior I truly felt like I had liked you. I went on that date, miserable and uninterested because all I could think about was returning home and signing on to talk to you. I made some lame excuse to leave the date and rushed home immediately. When I did return home, you were there. Online and I greeted you with a big smile and the first smile I wore that day. The next day we soulmated in game. Never did I think my character would ever be soulmated but that was also when I decided that I was clearly, deeply and madly falling for you. Not until the 21st of February did my feelings for you get exposed. We took the conversation somewhere private and I confessed my true feelings for you. Unexpectedly, you felt the same and from there we began to start a relationship together. Or first month together was fast. However, I thought that's what real love and feelings were about. They were meant to be expressed and ventured into. When you know it at sight, you can't help but follow the river down. Next month came by and we remained happy. On the 18th of March, Dragon Raja's newest feature was a marriage system. We got married and ranked the 4th of the server.

As we continued to date, I loved getting to know you and share interests. We listened to music, watched anime and shows. Movie nights and games were played together. Took picture and built a house. We were bold and adventurous with what we could do during lockdown. It never fails to amaze me on how we closed distance through an online connection. Another month goes and I've made my own guild. I hadn't expected you to follow me but you did. An evil part of me was glad that you would forsake your old club that was littered with women to be with me, it meant that I was important to you. The clan grew and I've always been so grateful to have you by my side. I learnt to be a stronger and greater leader because of you. Our love and connection remained strong and every day was blissfully lovely. You grew stronger in Dragon Raja, you became a big whale and learnt to play my class. I absolutely fell in love that we were the BladeMaster Couple. The whole server knew we were the BM King and Queen. I admired your prowess and your charisma, you were faithfully the real diamond amongst the hundreds of stars. After our 6-month anniversary did we start to become busy. Rea life work has you and I've begun teaching students. However busy, I still get a moment of your time at the end of the day. we always do our marriage dailies and we spend some time before you wind down to sleep. I loved staying on call with you as you slept through the night. Just having your presence beside me was always reassuring and comforting. All throughout the days that soon became months, we slowly learn more about each other. I got to dive more into your work life, your ambitions and goals. You never fail to tell me what you dream and want to achieve. I being your No.1 supporter, I carefully listen and making mental notes about you. I've always said that success looks good on you because I think you sounded spectacularly wonderful beaming about your dreams.
