A/N: This chapter took me weeks to write because I couldn't figure out how to write it. Sorry it took so long guys! Also, Idia isn't in it as much as I planned. Sorry Idia fans, but I tried my best 😓...

Also, here's a question for you all: What kind of food do you prefer?

Spicy, Sweet, or Sour?




"Idia, I don't know why you made me play this game," Azul says with a smirk as he moves his piece. "You were going to lose from the start, you know that right?"

"Sure, sure, sure, whatever you say," Idia says as he watches him put his piece in pace, overtaking his bishop. "Shame that you're gonna lose your piece so soon! Whee hee hee!" He takes his rook and take over Azul's knight.

"Hmph," he fixes his glasses. "I'll show you your mistake." He picks up a pawn, and overtake his rook. Idia looked at the scene in shock while Azul smirked at the expression.

"There they go again," a student sighs at the group watches the two play chess.

"I get they're good and all, but they take it too far," another student says with huff.

"They're our best players in the Board Game Club. They get fired up about it," one student explains. "Though, Azul's games are more...questionable."

"Strategy games are his go-to," a student thinks out loud. "Remember when he played card games against Idia?"

"Oh yeah!" Another student exclaims. "He was terrible with luck, but when he's the dealer, it's a different story!"

"But Idia's not bad either," one student comments. "He's decimated some board games with us already." Some students nodded at the statement.

"He knows his games, that's for sure," a student agrees. "But...he's a bit awkward most times."

"Yeah...That's true," another student states. "I tried to invite him to play a game with me and he ran away, like I was the plague."

"Yeah, he's always skittish around other people," a student says.

"You know, Idia, they're talking about you," Azul states as he looks at the board. A moment passes and he looks up, seeing that Idia was in shock, mainly about the words the students were saying. "Don't tell me you're nervous now?"

"A-Azul..." He whispers. "They're all looking at us..."

Azul sighs. "You were doing just fine playing the game, and yet when people talk about you, you panic now? Usually some people take that as a compliment."

"In what way was any of that a compliment?!" He whispers in a panic. "Usually I can stand just playing a game or two, but with everyone's eyes on me, it's different. It's like they expect me to fail and then they'll make fun of me, and then I got to hide off and then Ortho's gotta try and goad me out to go to be a normie and make friends, but then everyone's gonna remember how I lost that game and then-"
