Projection (Male reader x Female OC)

041

Eyes locked onto my phone, I twist my lips as I scroll through all of my feeds. More drama that couldn't be explained and more reason for me to never touch Minecraft because there's a fifty percent chance of me becoming a paedophile and the other fifty are being hated and then resorting to crippling drug addiction.

"And?"

I shove my phone into my pocket as I express with a smile. "Going better than I'd hoped. Though doesn't mean I am going to drop out to pursue it."

Mom arches her brow at me, "Sounds like something you already considered and the fear of god came just in time to express how much I wouldn't like that."

I chuckle. "Yeah, definitely."

"Also common sense," she swirls the spoon in her cup.

With a heavy exhale, "Among other things, yeah."

"But still, you are enjoying yourself and already proved to me that you can make something out of it so,"—she gestures with her hand—"go ahead and have fun with it. That's all I can really ask of you."

With a firm nod, I flash her a smile. "I'll do my best. Or at least as good as I am able to considering it kind of relies a lot on my social skills and if you'd ask Rin... I have a feeling she'd not have any kind words to share."

She shook her head at me. "Just be proud of yourself, more than most give up on the idea before they even had a chance to give it some room to grow."

That's like that for a lot of people. You like something, but do you have the time? It comes down to a lot more than just dedication because if you can barely spare the time or effort to learn it properly... what sacrifices should be willing to make?

"Yeah, give it my all."

The morning conversation drags onto different things for the day, mainly my plans for this Saturday. The original idea was going to be to stay in all day and have Rin maybe swing by but she got a chore that she needs to deal with for the entire weekend.

She already called to tell me that she probably won't be swinging by and was going to leave me to do my streaming. But before I could barely make plans for my socials she messaged me asking if I'd be down to help her take care of her chore.

Naturally, I said no.

She said, "I figured as much, I'll call you when I have free time."

I didn't think anything about it at all but then Mom mentioned something earlier this morning about Rin and her Dad helping out one of his Dad's friend's son. Naturally, I called Rin minutes later and asked her about it and now I am helping someone move into an apartment.

I did throw a tantrum about her calling it a chore, and she insisted that it was exactly that. So I did the thing where I accepted my losses and let her win this one because my want to fight with her has never been lower.

This actually comes down to the reason why I am even doing this in the first place. She said I had no choice, that I had to help now because I was being a jealous little baby about it and... all I had to say was; "I wasn't jealous".

I do recall her mentioning this guy back when she came back from her break. I was probably to busy staring at her tits to really ever think about what she was saying, but I'd argue it was her fault for undressing in front of me. I guess it was storming outside and getting the floor wet would have made the house get mouldy if we didn't handle it properly.

Me being annoyed has nothing to do with him being here, maybe a little bit, but mostly because she could have at least been more specific.

I greet my Mother and walk outside at the sound of a horn from the outside. I push through the door to see a pickup truck parked out front. The window rolls down as I step closer only for Rin's amused smile to meet my obvious glare fixed at her.
