Act 8: The end

Gavin

Some one had the brilliant idea of using time travel to never even play the game. If Gavin went back far enough he could let his old self know that is was all going to go badly. To not even buy the game. Now that he thinks about it. It might have been Geoff. It was all hazy. 

Funny thing was he could remember what had happened to them. No one else could, though. He could remember holding a dead Michael in his arms, but Michael couldn't. He'd learned the hard way. Had it played off as dream. He guessed that it was all part of the game that they had played. That it all had to do with him being a time player. 

He didn't really want to tell anyone about it. All the horrible things that had happened to them. Monsters, fighting each other, tricksters, and grimdarks. He wishes that his power didn't grant him this power. 

It did grant him somethings though. It gave him the courage to ask Michael on a real date. He'd thought about telling all of it to Michael. In the end he figured it was his burden to bare. When he rationalized it all out nobody would really believe him that they had turned into gods and fought creatures they couldn't hope to really conquer. Especially when he told Geoff about Michael dying and he was made fun of. He would think it was a dream himself if he hadn't been told by his "future" self wearing pajamas that he shouldn't even get the game. He told Geoff he wouldn't be buying the games and the memories came flooding in. 

"Gavin!" Michael yelled and he was pulled out of his thoughts. 

"What?"

"Dude, you were spacing out."

"Sounds like something I would do" Gavin smiles.

Michael laughs and he smiles. He's already decided that that life may be way cooler but this one he gets to spend with Michael without threats. 

"Wanna get back to helping me in this challenge or are you going to space out more?" The red haired man smiles.

"I'll help you" Gavin smiles back. 

"Thanks, boi" Michael leans over and he gets a kiss on the cheek.

"Any time" He can't help but smile as he scoots closer. Sure, this life isn't as adventurous. But he loves it a lot more.
