For a few months now you're completely obsessed over a new kind of otome-game called "Love and Deepspace". You play it every minute you can spare in your hectic days between obligations and family time.

The boys have touched your heart, and you can't imagine a life without them anymore, especially one of them in particular. How often you wish for him to be real...


Rafayel

You start the kindled moment of one of your favorite cards with Rafayel. And as the scene progresses you reach the part where you need to draw at the prepared spot. You played this one so often, yet you do something else every time just because you enjoy this date with Rafayel so much.

This time you draw a little fish into the clam that is set on the paper lantern waiting for Rafayel saying it's usual line.

"Every time you paint something different in there. Your creativity is really inexhaustible, Cutie." and he smiles at you softly through the screen.

"What?" you freeze. That's new, he never said that before. You frown, unsure what triggered the different answer. What did you do? Confused, your finger hovers unmoving above the tablet.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Rafayel asks curiously the next moment and your heart starts racing in your chest. What's happening here? This is not what is scripted in the card! Your hand trembles and you have a hard time breathing. This is a coincidence right?

"Is everything alright, Cutie? You look worried." His beautiful face gets closer and Rafayel seems to stare right into your soul with his ocean eyes as he gazes directly to you through the screen. You gulp, frightened and utterly shocked about the situation. You can't believe that he actually reacts to your behavior in front of the screen.

"Ra-Rafayel?" you stutter weakly, not trusting your sanity now.

"Yeah, Cutie. I'm right here." comes his immediate response with this heartbreaking tender grin, and you choke on your own saliva. Panicking you cough helplessly.

"Hey, Calm down!" Rafayel looks now extremely worried „I'm sorry! I didn't want to scare you!" His handsome face now fills the entire frame, his unique eyes big and worried, looking at you. "I can't help you if you need an ambulance! Please, try to breathe steady, okay?!" he voices out his concerns now laced with anxiety.

The reflex in your throat ebbs and absolutely perplexed you stare at the purple haired man that somehow seems to know that you are here, in reality, right in front of your tablet.

"How...? Why...?" you mumble, your brain still short-circuited. Is this truly real?


Zayne

"Your bed head is very entertaining" the dark-haired man greets you teasingly as soon as the destiny café screen lights up on your phone.

"Ha, ha. You think you're funny, do you?. I've already been awake for a few hours." you pout, even if you know he can't hear or see you.

"Is this the reason you are looking this disheveled?" comes his immediate retort and startled you stop your fingers before they touch the battle-icon, ready to start your daily routine in the game.

"What?" you mutter, confused if he really reacted to your words. Did they add a new function? Is the mic now recording what you're saying without you noticing? Or was it just a coincidence?
