Sing to the Stars

"Go Google It" (BiO characters)

I literally just needed something for my Tsundere soul to make. And this song is what I chose.
Although Luka and Gakupo kinda sound a little more human than usual...or that's just me getting even more used to Vocaloid. So. *Claps*
Let's get started.

     "Hey, Brindle."
     "Hey Snake...wait, how do you know I'm Brindle?"
     "Hudson told me. I go to your school."
     "Okay. But since when do any of his friends play ELC?"
     "Long enough to know you're pretty good."
     "Is that a compliment?"
     Snake blushed. "Maybe." He replied. I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pushed him against the wall, about to punch him in the face, but before I could, he asked, "Can I have your phone number?"
     Somehow, he must've known I had a different email for all my accounts in games, but only one phone number. "Go Google it." Was all I could think of to say. I steadied my arm again. "What do you think of Hudson?" Snake asked. The words 'challenge' and 'rival' popped into my mind, and I felt a prick of guilt. "Google it." I replied.
     "What's your favorite video game?"
     "Go Google it."
     "Do you like Hudson?"
     "Go Google it."
     "Who do you like then?"
     I let him go and backed away. "What's with all the questions?" I asked angrily, turning away. I could feel my face burning. Hudson liked me. He told Aspen, not realizing Aspen was me. But I didn't know what I thought of him. Yeah, the scar through his eyebrow was kinda...cute but...that didn't mean I liked him. It was an observation.
     But he was the only person I'd ever met who'd 100% understood my interests. No one had ever understood why a girl would play a fighting video game. No one had ever understood how a teenage girl had been one of the top players in several video games.
     And yeah, he was strong enough to actually be a challenge for me...but that was all I thought of him. Just a challenge...right? I pictured him in my mind, and I felt a little...happy. "I have my reasons for my questions, little Merlina." Snake said. I turned on my heels, punched him, and then ran.
     No one ever called me little. No one. I wasn't even small. Except Hudson. And that was only because the first time he'd ever talked to me was when I was sitting down. When I sit down, I slouch, so I always looked short. So...Snake...he...was he Hudson?
     I ran to the portal and jumped through, muttering the address to my in-game house. It spit me out right on the front lawn, where I ran up to the door, flung it open, slammed it shut behind me, and ran up to my bed, where I flopped down.
     Since he told Aspen he liked me, I hadn't been able to talk to Hudson normally. The day after he told her, er, me...I realized I couldn't shake him from my mind. During school, I'd avoided him as best I could, but I'd ended up running into him everywhere I went. It'd been like my nerves were turned inside-out, and I hadn't been able to talk to him very well. I'd talked to Kaitlyn about it, and she'd concluded it was love. I was in love.
     Hearing Hudson's nickname for me had sent my insides into turmoil. It was like my stomach had started brawling with my heart, and my nerves were trying to blow both of them up. I'd tried to keep myself from believing I was in love, keep denying it, but I couldn't get rid of my feelings for him.
     My messaging system gave me a notification, and I opened it hesitantly. "If I told you I was in love with you how would you react?" Snake had asked. My defenses shot up. Even if Hudson could see through them, Snake wasn't Hudson right? He had to have heard the nickname from Hudson. He couldn't be Hudson. "Kill you." I replied. "Lol. But srsly. Your voice is repeating itself in my head, and it's beautiful." I felt myself blush, but I tried to keep it down by glaring at the screen. "Flirt with me one more time and I will find you IRL and kick your ass." I sent back.
     "Are you blushing right now?"
     "No, idiot."
     "Prove it."
     "I hate you." But I still took a picture of myself glaring at the screen and sent it to him.
     "Hmm, your cheeks are a little pink."
     "Shut up. My avatar just has pinkish cheeks!"
     "Can I ask you something?"
     "Depends."
     "How long are you going to keep lying?"
     I inhaled sharply. So he was Hudson. He could see the truth in my words. I couldn't kill him; I'd somehow fallen so head-over-heels for him that I couldn't imagine life without him. I wanted to know if he really thought my voice was beautiful, even though I hated my own voice. I said I hated him but I meant the opposite. I'd told him to shut up but he had a point.
     Only Hudson could see through me like that. "Go Google it." I replied to him.
     And saying that...it kinda made me want to tell him more about me...telling him off made me want to answer his questions. How that worked was beyond me.
     I logged out of the game, feeling flustered. I took off the VR headset. Then I pulled the VR-experience-enhancing gloves off my hands and fell onto my real bed face-first. For some reason I suddenly wanted to feel his arms around me.

So this isn't going to be in the actual BiO, because it's too close to the other major event that I'm going to include, Brindle's birthday (she's an Aries btw). And as I have explained, each of the BiO chapters have at least a single-day gap between them. Her birthday is literally the day after this happened so I'm not adding it in. But my Tsundere soul needed to produce something after hearing "Go Google It" and this is all I could think of. Also Snake is in fact Hudson (for once, it wasn't a Canada or river related username), he just felt confident because he knew Brindle didn't know he was Snake and he thought that Aspen was different from Brindle and hadn't told her he liked her.
ANYWAY.
Hope you enjoyed my wonderful child Brindle and her craziness.

Nevi, out.
