Luke's P.O.V.

It was 6pm, and Luke was bored. Through his kitchen window, he could see how the crisp windy fall air rustled the beautiful colored leaves outside. Being September 23rd, the days were starting to get shorter, slowly but surely. The branches blew through the air, the brown branches swaying lightly as the cool breeze gently blew through and around the substance of the branches and it's leaves.

The blonde decided he was starting to get bored, and ignored his brother Jack trying to talk to him from the living room sofa as he made his way up the stairs, trudging to his bedroom where he'd play his PS4.

"So, let's play.." Luke mumbles to himself as he starts up his controller, getting his headset ready as he logs into the PS4 and starts up a game of Call Of Duty. On his team were his two brothers, him, and three other boys. by the name of 'CalPal97', 'MikeRoWave42', and 'AshPillow63'. He would chuckle, but then again his username is 'LukeThePenguin58'. They all decided to go into a party together to communicate, and Luke and his brothers Jack and Ben learned the other boys' names were Calum, Michael, and Ashton, nicknames being Cal, Mike, and Ash. 'Now the usernames make sense...' Luke thought. to himself, talking a bit before voting for his favorite map in team deathmatch mode.

It didn't take long for the boys to become friends. Ben and Jack called the night quits about four hours ago, but Luke, Cal, Ash, and Mike decide to keep playing. They didn't want to stop talking to eachother. It was around 10:52 at night, and neither of they boys would budge. It was like those experiences you can't really explain, the one's where you don't know how it happened or why it happened, but you're glad it did, because you click with that person/people so easily, as if it were meant to be. They're glad that video games brought them together, because now that they have eachother, they'll never let eachother go.

Author's P.O.V.

"You still remember that?" Ash chuckles from next to the blonde that was just telling the story, right arm wrapped tightly and securely around the blonde's waist. "Yeah, right? I was just gonna say the same thing." Cal chuckles, his left arm wrapped securely around Michael's waist, the pair standing across from Ashton and Luke. The four laughed, Luke going on with his story on how him and the boys met a few months later seeing as they went to the same school, having almost an entire years worth of classes together. It's amazing because even when they met in person, none of the other boys' personalities changed. as much of a friendship they had online and how far they could've gotten through a console; it was the same, actually, an even better friendship in person.

Through the years they fell in love, and got into a relationship together, all four of them. and now almost ten years later they're at a party telling people how they fell in love, and how much they've enjoyed the journey and how much they love the idea of them all bein together forever, and can't wait to say 'I do' some day. But for right now, they're just enjoying being with eachother and waking up seeing eachother's faces.

"See, it can be a good thing, right?" Michael joked. Everyone in the circle talking to the boys and listening to their story laughed, the four themselves included. Ashton laughed again. "Yep. and that's how games brought us together."

After he said that everyone smiled at eachother, and the boys kissed eachother with the same smiles on their faces, whispering sincere 'I love you''s and such to eachother as the other people cheered, 'awe'd and smiled at them. And that only made them smile more, because in that moment, they weren't sure if they could ever be happier in the sanctuary of eachother's arms, telling others how they met, how they fell in love, and how they plan to stay that way, forever.
