Sending My Love// Chryan

Part One| Hello?

     Ryan Magee never liked going out of his way to meet new people. He always struggled with making friends in high school, and he was always told his online friends "weren't real." But, Ryan didn't really know how else to do it. So when his mom called and said he needed to make some new friends (he hadn't left his house in days, except to go to the store), he just obliged and went online to some chatroom. He typed in his interests and his usual username, Rynohazard. And then, he waited.
Ding!
You have been matched with Oney! You both like video games.
"Oney"s camera wasn't on, so all they had was the small messaging board.
Oney: hello?
Rynohazard: hey man
Oney: nice to meet ya
Oney: wait wtf is that username
Oney: what is this?? 2007??
Ryan blushed a bit out of embarrassment at the comment. Yeah, his name was kinda cringy, but it was all he had.
Rynohazard: shut up dude
Oney: you obviously don't know me
Rynohazard: you're right, I don't
Oney: Fact #1 about Oney: I don't shut up
Ryan smiled. Maybe this guy could actually end up being his friend.
Rynohazard: good, because I'm pretty quiet
Oney: you sound like a kid in seventh grade
Oney: o shit, are you a kid?? I'm so sorry I should disconnect
Ryan panicked, he didn't want this guy to leave. He seemed pretty cool so far.
Rynohazard: NO!!!! I'm 19
Oney: Jfc man you could've just said no
Rynohazard: shut up
Oney: I told you, I don't
Oney: I'm 21
Rynohazard: oooo, the mystery man can drink
Oney: I'm sure you have too
Rynohazard: nah, I'm a good boy
Oney: I'm sure you are ;)
Ryan blinked. Was he.. was he flirting with him? Definitely not. He just met this guy- he was just reading the situation wrong.
Oney: hello?
Shit! Ryan must have zoned out for longer than he thought.
Rynohazard: sorry man just thinking
Oney: ohh ok
Oney: I hope this doesn't seem weird to ask but what part of the world do you live in
Rynohazard: oh no, the scary Internet man is gonna come kidnap me by knowing what country I live in!!
Oney: flipping u off mentally
Rynohazard: lmao I live in America, wbu
Oney: Ireland
Ryan frowned. Well, there goes any chance of meeting this guy if they become friends.
Rynohazard: that's gay
Oney: you're gay
Rynohazard: I mean, you're not wrong
SHIT. FIX IT RYAN.
Rynohazard: haha jk
Oney: me too
Oney: wait what
Oney: o shit uh I'm gonna disconnect now
Rynohazard: no wait DONT
Oney: ?
Rynohazard: you seem cool and I want to keep talking with you
That was probably the most confident thing Ryan had ever said, digitally or in real life.
Oney: that's gay as hell
Rynohazard: whatever
Oney: I'm Chris btw
Chris. That was a nice name. Kind of regular, but hey, so was his.
Rynohazard: I'm Ryan
Oney: how surprising, it's not like it's in your username or anything
Rynohazard: be quiet
Oney: can't, sorry
Oney: it's pretty late I'm gonna go to sleep
Oney: I'll talk tomorrow
Oney: it was nice to meet you, Ryan ;)
Ryan looked at the clock. It was only 9:30. He'd have to check how far ahead Irish time was.
Rynohazard: yeah you too
Oney: bye cutie <3
Oney has disconnected.
