"Arey tu kaahaan hai? Car leke aanaa!", I screamed into my headphones.
"Arey yaahaan hi hoon. Pichhe mood ke dekh, noob.", Ajey said from the other end.
"Oh.", I said and got into the car.
Yep. We were playing PubG.
Again.
Like always.
For the past 2 months.
Almost thrice a week. Almost.
We are addicted. Literally.
[I mean, he was addicted (Addicted A1. Samajh aa raha hai? Haso sab, maine joke maaraa. Haha lol). Anyways, he was addicted way before me, but now I am too.]
Daant padti hai. Papa se.
Har roz.
But meh, chalta hai.
"Oh shit bhenchod, gaya! Mein gaya! Revive de, revive de, Ahalya, revive de na!"
"Haan haan deti hoon ruk jaa."
"Chutiya thok ke chala gaya, yaar! Hadd hai bhenchod."
"Ajey, tu kaahaan hai, yaar? Ye chutiya mereko nahi chhodega! Car lana tu, noob! Mar jaaungi mein! Arey bhen ke laude....", I said to a player who was constantly firing at me from the opposite building.
Suddenly, a subtitle flashed on my PC:-
Your teammate KhalidjaMonday was killed by GamerWarrior69.
"Arey maadarjaat! Mar gaya mein! Chutiya hai, yeh bhi chutiya hai, main bhi chutiya hoon, sab chutiye hain, ye saala game hi chutiya hain. Ek chicken dinner chaahiye that woh bhi nahi mila. Maine nahi khelni ye game. Hatt!"
"Ajey, tu bot hai kya? Pagal, tu uss bande ko crossbow se maarega, toh noob tu toh marega hi na! Mere paas thi ek AKM. You should have took it from me."
"Ahalya, maine tujhse kahaa tha ki School mein land karte hain, lekin you were like 'Nahi, nahi, chalna Pochinki utarte hai. Loot achhi milegi'. Dekha, mar gaya mein."
At the same time, I got killed.
"Arey yaar. Ajey, tu chup rahega do minute. Dekh mein mar gayi. Ho liya sab, khaa liye chicken dinner. Main nahi khel rahi tere saath vaapis."
"Haan toh mujhe bhi nahi khelni tere saath."
"Tu na, Getting Over It pe hi apna mathha phod."
"Main nahi khel raha tere saath kabhi bhi."
"Arey jab main hi nahi khelungi tere saath, toh tu kaise khelega?"
And the debate went on for some time.
But just like the assholes that we were, we played for three hours straight, just the day after.

"Yeah. Cool. I am coming over.", I said to Ajey on the phone and hanged it up.
Lately, we have been hanging around too much.
Like, way too much.
We would hang out at each others house quite frequently whenever he releases his new video. After about two weeks, he would again turn into that crazy-work-machine and would start working on his next one. So, I would prefer talking on the phone as to not distract him.
I had also sat through his several live streams, and I must say, they are way better when you are seeing it by literally sitting on his side.
As for me, I have never felt so alive, so free.
Over the past few months, he had became so important to me, and to be honest, it quite scared me too.
What if it was something else...?
After Dev-
I shook my head before I even completed the thought.
You are behaving like a complete absurd.
Ahaan met me on the way to the main door.
