At The End Of The Day

Chapter Five: Why Do I Know You?

I sat on my bed during another late night, eating a PB&J. Shane and I's usual video call was still up and I had just asked him where he was all day.

That's all.

What I didn't expect was the conversation to continue and evolve to the point where I was learning a little of the.. Stupid boy stuff he's done in his life?

Well maybe not stupid in a way but more bizarre than anything.

"So me and Han and Mitsu were at my aunt's house chilling out right. We were just playing game but we were bored cuz there was kinda nothing to do."

"Wait, so where was Han in this?" I asked, only slightly curious but still wanting to know.

"She was, in my lap." um...... what?

Let me ask, maybe I'll understand better on how that wound up happening."How'd that happen?"

"She came in, and sat down with popcorn in her mouth. I was playing a game at the time." he explained.

Ah.

Still

"Continue."

"Well, we eventually go to the point where I gave Han a super wedgie! She tried giving me one, but that didn't work out."

Face palming, I looked up at him from the tv. Is that the best a boy his age could do with nothing to do? Is this normal? Oh, this is why I'm no good with people.

"Shane is that really the highlight of your day" My voice gave off that bored tone but I was rolling around on my bed so he knew it wasn't likely the case.

"No! You don't understand. Let me explain, we teamed up and decided to go after Mitsu who was sitting in the corner playing video games. As soon as we got quiet though, he looked over his shoulder than got up and took off!" My eyes widened at the response but then again, the two trouble makers probably had the evilest of grins plastered on their faces. If I were a simpler person, I would've ran too.

"We ran after him through the house, I knew small people were fast but damn. Han got him to run out the back where I was waiting. Once he got to the backyard, I ran behind him and grabbed his briefs. The great thing about it is that I stopped moving and he was running so fast the fabric was yanked through his ass!" Shane laughed as he clutched his stomach, tears peaking from underneath his long lashes.

"His face Bri! His face! Was priceless! It was so scrunched up and red when he fell and cupping his balls! Oh my god!" he exclaimed. Imagining such a bastard as Mitsu in that state, even I began to laugh and soon we were both lying on our beds, trying to catch our breaths.

Turning over on my side, I looked up at Shane through the camera. "Seems you had a good time, a shame you didn't get a picture. If you have one though, don't tell me. "

"You already know we did. I'm surprised Han didn't teabag him though-" "wait wait wait wait. Shane, exactly how many of your friends are in on this 'teabagging' thing?" I interrupted. Ugh you do not know the beginning of the teabag.

"Ok, being serious with the numbers there's like........ Two, no four, wait are we counting all the people I know in the video game world? Like Battlefield? Cuz that list can and will go on in that case." he said innocently. The small twinkle in his eyes gave me a hint at the mischief he had in mind and I groaned.

"Are you kidding me? Shane, why do you all feel the need to do that? Like why? Just why?" If by this point you think I'm totally getting worked up over nothing then you my friend either don't know what we're talking about or you do and you're apart of the movement.

Sigh

He straightened his back in play as a soldier and sounded off like a cadet in drill. "The art of tea-bagging has been handed down from generation to generation in a celebratory ritual on defeating the enemy Sir! It is not to be taken lightly Sir! We have a responsibility to show the losing opponent that we won and they lost, and that they should should feel like shit Sir!!"

Clasping my hands together as a prop for my chin to rest on, I let the look of pure confusion of such dumbassery take over my features. "So.. You.... Run up to a persons avatar when they're shot and squat on their face repeatedly in play of slapping your balls on their face? The fuck?"

"Sir yes Sir!" he yelled.

See what I mean? Ridiculous!

"Shane that's a fucking shame and you know it. But if you say so." I said, my frustration at still not fully understanding the need to do something like that prevalent in my voice.

"Oh that's just the half of it! The way I found out females could do it too, was I used a female character and did it. That and I saw some other ones do it too." he said with a grin.

..........

"Shane never have I, in all of our friendship, ever question why I know you personally as much as I am now." I said, aghast at the statement that unfortunately I heard fall from his lips.

He merely waved me off dismissively."Yeah but you still love me."

He's lucky I do.
