Setting up the mattress, I drop it down on the floor with the extra blankets and pillows. She is sitting on my bed actively not helping.
"Didn't know you were going to sleep on the floor, that's so nice of you to sacrifice your own bed for your best friend."
I look at her with an arched brow. "I will admit one thing."
"That you are a sucker?"
"That I'd let you get away with a lot of things, but that, no."
She lays down, propping up her arms she rests her chin in the palms of her hands while lifting her legs, and crossing her ankles. "I am not sleeping on the floor."
"My bed is big enough for both of us."
"If you were going to suggest that in the first place then why the fuck did you bring the mattress out?"
"Because then I don't have to go through the pain of my mom asking where you are going to sleep, and then asking questions that I personally don't want to answer because I don't know how either of our parents is going to react to this level of degeneracy."
Twisting her lips to the side. "I think your mom would love to have me in the family seeing as I am the only woman in history that has given you the time of day and actively doesn't try to avoid you."
"You are getting it wrong, I am allowing you to be around me."
She snorts. "Shut the fuck up we both know you would crumble if I wasn't around you."
I shake my head. "You seriously underestimate my ability to not ever feel lonely."
"Damn, you got me there."
"You are admitting that I won?"
She nods. "I can't win with something as pathetic as being content with being alone for the rest of your life, I mean all the power to you representing all of the shut-ins of the world. Be strong for their sake while I use my body to play on your console."
I narrow my eyes at her. "You are ridiculous."
"I know~"
I shake my head as I walk to my pc, drop in the chair and turn around to face her. "We pretty much have plenty of time till mom gets home, so do you-"
Rolling off of my bed she answers my question by heading to the console, putting it on, and then making herself comfortable on the mattress. I twist my lips to the side wondering why I ever bother asking.
I turn on the PC.
"You still playing that shitty game?"
"Mostly. Unless I start feeling like I want to slit my wrists I can probably swap to another game but there is a huge chance that I hate myself even more than usual if I do that and getting bullied by strangers on the internet is not really as fun on the other end of the stick."
She then looks at me over her shoulder. "You don't play much on either the PlayStation or the Xbox, do you?"
I nod. "Up there with needing to pay a monthly subscription that is pretty shit. Why?"
"Was just wondering, because I feel like you are just letting these sit here and not planning on getting any of those good new games coming out."
I shake my head with a chuckle. "What? Got your eye on something?"
"Maybe," she presses her lips together, then with a cutesy tone, "do you feel like spoiling me?"
I then counter, "Why not just buy it for yourself?"
She groans rolling over to her back. "Because I am saving up my money to get a PC because you have been annoying playing on your own there and I thought maybe I can play with you."
I chuckle. "You don't have to, I can just give you my PC after I upgrade in a month or so."
"Okay but then that means I have to upgrade, right? Because your PC now will be old."
I shake my head. "Nope. I still have a high-end PC and I am just waiting to see if the new things coming out are actually good and just not the same thing with a higher price tag and a different name."
"Oh. Wait are you sure?" she locks eyes with me.
"Unless you also want to personally customize it then that makes sense."
She looks at my rig. "Yeah, maybe that. Sorry but you have shit tastes."
"Thanks, Rin."
She groans even louder, "I'll figure it out."
"Try not to kill yourself in the process."
I look at the streaming software. I mean streaming has been going well and seeing as I am a partner now it will probably turn out to be a lot better moving forward. I get a decent amount of money from the few subs I have now.
I am almost tempted to drop out of school but who knows... I might become less funny the moment all of my social interactions disappear.
Maybe I am not funny at all.
Letting my anxiety go to town on my mental state, I finally just forget about it while we both do our own thing for the most part. I don't plan on streaming right now because I am not really in the mood and just want to chill.
Besides who knows what fuck-shit Rin will start saying the moment I go live? I read through a lot of the news before working on setting up discord and thinking of all the things I should have thought about ages ago.
Like tier names. Like what the fuck do I call my community?
Because of League and my interaction with a lot of the bigger league streamers have given me quite a lot of traction. I mean at this point there are definitely worse games I could have started on... like Overwatch.
Okay but then again I don't think I can talk. League is also pretty bad.
At least I am not worrying all that much. Wonder if I am going to ever join up with a group of people at some point and then they make a streamer house and one of us get called out for being either a pervert or just a dickhead.
I then glance at her over my shoulder. "At this point, I rate you could also become a streamer."
"Nah, not for me. I like playing games but I don't want to talk to people while I do that, it feels like a lot of work and that a lot of the people would just make fun of me and I have a very fragile ego."
"Fair, but that doesn't explain why I am doing it."
"You have thick skin, which makes sense for your lifestyle. If someone pisses me off I want to kick them in the scrotum."
"I forgot about the hyper-aggressive tendencies."
"Thanks, babe. Love you for that."
I chuckle. "Doing my best to support you."
At some point, I am getting timelines wrong because I think I made it out that is set in 2016 I think? But now it feels like it is 2018. But whatever, if anyone asks and makes it out like it is a plothole and the timelines are confusing, then my excuse is this.
Different world.
Okay bye. <3 :)
