Opossum-(mxm) (Rever series Eight)

Opossum One

(This is a spin-off from Raccoon :) )

First place...

Leaning back in his squeaky old gaming chair that he'd found at the local thrift store for ten bucks, Ian gave out a long sigh and closed his eyes.

I'm finally number one in the entire game...

They slowly opened a few moments later as he stared at his cute cat boy character on the screen in front of him. It was standing in one of the main cities of the video game and was surrounded by people offering their congratulations, but he had his away from keyboard symbol on, so they'd know that he wouldn't respond right then.

And honestly, there was only one person he wanted to be congratulated by.

Won't you log on and tell me I did well?

Grim was late.

The guy was usually on by six, and it was already close to seven.

He'd seen the other player on an ad for the game a while ago and while he was being portrayed as one of the demons of Infinity, Ian couldn't help but see something else behind the guy's greasy black hair, leering eyes and cold smirk.

Using the last of his money for the week, he'd purchased the game and a subscription for it. He then found the guy's channel and subscribed to him before browsing it and realizing something...

Grim was quite the pervert.

He loved the cat girls in the game and had quite a few modified images of them posted on his channel. Of course, they weren't exactly not safe for work, but they sure as heck were close!

He'd considered making a female cat girl to try and get in Grim's favor, but quickly dismissed the thought. He didn't like the idea of pretending to be a girl just to make someone else happy.

He'd wanted him to know that he was a guy.

So, he'd decided on a cat boy, but made him somewhat cute.

A little notification sound met his ears and had a smile immediately sliding onto his lips. Leaning forward, Ian tapped his mouse a few times, accepting Grim's personal chat request.

As soon as Grim's voice came over the speakers, he could feel his heart thrumming in his ears.

"Bitch, you got number one without me!" Grim chastised immediately, making Ian blush and smile so much his cheeks began to hurt.

Grim had a terribly foul mouth when he wasn't streaming, and honestly, even when he was streaming, but he managed to tone it down a lot after a few warnings from his sponsors.

"Sorry love, the opportunity presented itself," he said, knowing damn well that Grim didn't actually give a shit about whether they did it together or not.

Grim had actually been pushing him to get first place, too. He'd constantly ask him why his little simp wasn't already the best in the game.

It had taken Ian two months to get a paying contract, three months to cap his gear, and four months to become the number one player. People called him a prodigy, but he had just devoted every second of his minimal free time to learning how to play the game as well as possible.

He'd noticed a comment on Grim's channel soon after he'd started playing the game about wanting a chain-wielder for assistance on harder quests and missions, but evidently, most of the ones in the game sucked. At least, according to him.

"Did you get your crown already?" Grim asked, making Ian frown.

When he didn't respond right away, Grim scoffed as his character appeared beside him, then invited him to a private party.
