don't look at me hatefully
you don't know me yet
( haaAakkKKK!!! , OurR )it was currently a sunday night in the beautiful city of sumeru. most of the citizen were relaxed inside their homes after a long and exhausting week, but some of them preferred to have some fun instead.
y/n was inside a very famous arcade, a place where they went to every time they wanted to have some fun and bully some annoying kids, which was exactly what he was doing right now.
"c'mon, just give up kiddo. i'm the winner here, and also i'm older than you! now, gimme aaallll your lollipops." said the young adult who was extanding their hand in the face of a random kid who looked very defeated.
"not fair! i'm going to tell my mom about you!" the kid argued back but the other just shrugged and took the lollipop and put it in their mouth. "yeah, whatever you say..."
after that, the h/c haired person sat back down in front of one of the machines that played a fighting game. ever since middleschool, the young adult has been visiting this arcade every night and thus gained the title of 'king of the arcade' by the younger players.
they have memorized every single move in this exact fighting game and mastered every other technique to win in other games. he was what would call a pro player in the arcade and he used his abilities to win games against whoever challenged him in exchange for candies and even prizes inside the arcade (like special plushies or toys).
'one last game and i'll go home' y/n thought, as she waited for someone to sit on the opposite machine to challenge her. suddenly whispers and exchanged looks erupted in the arcade.
kids were saying things like 'woah, the best players of the arcades are finally going to play against each other!?' and 'this will be such an epic match!', which made y/n look at their new opponent.
on the opposite machine sat a grey-haired man with fiery eyes, who seemed to be the same age as the king of the arcade. "you better mentally prepare yourself to lose, grandpa." said the young adult while he still had their lollipop on their mouth.
the other only looked confused, but his expression soon changed to a serious and competitive one, accepting the challenge. 'this will be easy' a certain confident person thought.
it was not easy. the opposite male really caught her off-guard, as y/n did not expect him to be a good player. but nonetheless, y/n still won, and thus they got up from their seat to confront his opponent. "i won, which means you owe me something."
"you're a good player, it isn't for nothing that you're called the king of the arcade. but, next time i will for sure beat you." said the male, extanding his hand expecting a handshake, but he was only met with an obnoxious laugh.
"i'd like to see you try! now, let's talk about my prize, yeah?" this made the other only feel more competitive for some reason. maybe it was because of the way the h/c haired person was so confident and thought they were unbeatable, which made cyno want to destroy his confidence and steal the spotlight.
this wasn't the first time cyno had gone to an arcade, but it was their first time on this arcade. maybe a fun rivalry wouldn't be too bad, plus, it could refresh him from the pile of work and studies he has from college.
in the end, cyno had to pay 5$ on a sandwhich for the winner of the epic battle that wasn't so epic. he wasn't sure if he could come here everyday because of college, but he would try to, it was fun and he could really use some inspiration for the new game they're developing.
as for y/n, they went home as soon as cyno paid for his sandwhich, and started brainstorming for his new art project, which lead to nothing as she still has no idea on what to draw.
☆ !! AUTHOR'S NOTES !
it's kinda hard to write a character that uses all pronouns bc i never did that before, so i hope it's not too messy.
i also have no idea on how to write a first chapter tbh, so this is probably shitty but bear w me i promise it'll get betterrrrr
btw y/n is supposed to be kinda annoying
