Speaker 1: Hey, what's been popping lately, Dune. Yeah, you got to
place the pre order for the new upcoming game. Huh?
And it's the Collector's edition. Well, well, I get mister
money bags right here splurging though for the first time.
Oh come on, and I'm just messing with you. Still,
it is pretty rare for me to see you drop
this much for a game. Hell, you're the type to
play with the default skins for nearly every multiplayer game
that you and I do. In this game must have
really caught your attention if you're dropping this money for
pre order, tell me what caught your eye. H of
course it's the limited edition figurine of the Waifu licking character.
Oh so typical. I know, I'm not judging. I know
that you like those YouTuber girls, so I guess I
shouldn't be that surprised. No, I'm really not, And honestly,
my tastes and anime girls are kind of the same
as yours. Although I could tell that you have a
certain flavor that you seem to go for over and over,
it does make me question the kind of stuff you're into,
But I won't go there. I have my own weird tastes.
So are we looking to run it down again with
another all nighter? You want to grind our rank in
that one mall of the game you introduce me to,
or maybe you want me to carry your ass again
in Marble Rivals. Hell, we could even order some pizza
tonight to sweeten are usual gaming sessions. It's the weekend anyway,
and guests who just got paid with their bonus A
what do you say, buddy? Oh you have something to
prepare for tonight. Oh, don't tell me you're planning to
work overtime. It's the weekend. Don't spend time working like that.
Oh it's not for work? Okay, Well that's good for
a moment there. I thought I was going to have
to kick your ass for working too hard? So what
is it? What's really going on? Study the various spots
to tour around the city. Why are some of your
relatives from cross country visiting? Or that would actually be
kind of fun. I wouldn't mind meeting your folks too,
I could tell them all about Oh if if not
your relatives, then who hold up? Run that back? Did
I just hear you say that you're taking a girl
on a date like an actual girl that you met
in real life. Okay, that was a good one. Seriously,
you on a date with a girl. That's one of
the best jokes you could have ever told me. Oh
my gosh, going to the lengths of thinking up a scenario.
I applaud the effort. Ah, okay, so for real, you
me and a box of pizza, NonStop grinding rank matches
until dawn. Yeah, why do you have that look on
your face? You're being for real the girl thing that
wasn't like a joke. Huh no, no, no, no, no, no,
this isn't an overreaction. I mean, come on, this is
the first time I'm hearing that you're having an interest
in a real life girl. Well, can you blame me
for all the months that we've been hanging out. I'd
never picture you, of all people, to actually get out
there and start dating people. I mean, you're the type
of nerds to go duh, two D girls are better
than three D girls. Dull, Yes, you do sound like that,
So excuse me for being so surprised that you're out
here pining for a real life human girl. So tell
me about her. What's got you all head over heels
for this girl? Huh. Yes, I'm interrogating you right now.
I just need to know exactly who this house crasher,
I mean girl is who's looking to steal my duo
buddy away from me. Fine, fine, I'll calm down, but seriously,
spill everything. Come on, I'm listening. M So you met
her through a discord server while you were looking for
open parties, looking for duos. Ugh, this is just starting
and it's already so cringe all about no, no, no, no, no, no,
go on, tell the story. I'll shut up. So you
just hit it off and before you knew it, you
spent nearly the whole day going as a duo. So
that's it. There's more. Well, okay, the perfect match for you?
Well there, buddy, you might want to slow down before
calling her perfect for you. Wait, what even is perfect
in your eyes? Hmm? So her personality mixes well with
yours and you like the same anime? That's it? Ugh,
So typical of you, knowing you're unrealistic standards. She must
have fit the bill for everything you've ever wanted. A fine? Fine, ever, what, No,
I'm not mad? Come on, why do you think I'm mad?
My reactions have not been weird talking about this girl.
These are these are perfectly normal reactions. And again, I'm
under the pretense that you are never interested in finding
a relationship. So I'm just a little confused, that's all.
I'm sorry, dude, I don't even know why I'm rambling.
I really am getting all worked up. You're right, I'm
acting way out of character right now. No, it's okay,
don't apologize. It's not your fault. This is all on me. Really,
I'm I'm I just ah, god, okay, actually excuse me
for a sec. I just need to take a quick breather.
Oh my gosh. I never thought he'd actually be interested
in a girl in here. I thought that he and
I would eventually. Damn, this is all my fault. I
knew that I should have No, no, no, no, I'm fine,
I'm fine. Yeah, yeah, you could come in. Sure. Well
you brought me a drink, Thank you. I really needed one.
I didn't even realize that I'm misparched. That hit the spot. Yeah,
that actually does feel a lot better. Thanks for looking
out for me. I guess I'm not doing a very
good job hiding that I'm really bothered about this new girl. Huh,
you've known me for so long, I can't even hide
my feelings from you. Fine, I'll come clean. I guess
I'm just really worried about you and me. I know
this sounds stupid, but like, come on, You've been the
only friend I had that I get to interact with
on a daily basis. And sure we have mutual friends
that we hang out with and stuff, but it just
hits different when it's us together alone, you know, And
I guess, I guess I'm just afraid that one day
you'll be so busy catering to your newfound girl that
you'll run out of time for your friends like me.
I know that you say that now, but once you
get the ball rolling into a relationship, you'll soon find
that your priorities change, and eventually all those nights that
we spent gaming and having fun and laughing and screaming,
well they'll be a distant memory. And probably some of
those nights you'll even fall asleep on the phone with
her and instead of talking to me. I'm sorry, I'm
getting all worked up again. I uh, don't worry too much.
I'm fine. I just it's just something personal that I
have to cope with, that's all. And I'm probably overthinking anyway,
so it doesn't matter. Thanks for validating my feelings. It's
kind of weird, Huh. We never have heart to hearts
like this. Most of the time we're just at each
other's throats, throwing jabs and insults. I'm not used to
feeling this sappy. Damn, dude, this is all your fault.
You know that. No, No, no, I'm kidding. Don't worry
about it. Will I support you in trying to court
this girl? Uh? What's with that question? You want me
to be your wing woman? Why is it because I'm
a girl and I should know how girls feel? Dude? Seriously, me,
of all people, you want to ask me for support
in the affairs of love and fluff and all of
that stuff. I don't even think I have my own
feelings sorted out. Okay, Besides, I don't think I can
honestly say that you have my wholehearted support for this person.
It's I don't think. I mean, I just can't because
oh god, I'm sorry, I'm crying. This is so stupid. No,
it's fine, I just such. I really try to hide it,
but I guess the damn finally burst. I'm sorry. I
I can't support it because because I also like you,
you idiot, And I can't even blame you for not noticing,
because I've always kept it a secret. But now learning
that you have your eyeset on someone who isn't me,
it just it sucks. It really really sucks. Yes, I
said it. For quite some time now, I've liked you
and I've had feelings for you, and sure, I know
I was saying that I wasn't interested in any of
that love or romance crap. Damn, it really does come
out of nowhere. And all those times just goofing off
with you, times when I've had to bail you out
of games, or like when you got lost at one
time and tried to go to a convention you couldn't
find your way back home, those little stupid moments, I
don't know, they just started to add up and I
felt really endeared to you, And before I knew it,
I just started to fall, and I guess I guess
I felt kind of hard. I know it's not like
me to keep this all bottled up. I mean, you're right,
normally I just blowed out what I feel, but this one,
no way. You know, I can't not when we both
so brazenly declared that we don't have any crashes except
for our wife wus. So there. I just kept it
all inside, hoping that one day maybe you would notice
or or feel the same. Yeah. I never planned on canfessing.
I never wanted to risk our friendship because of my feelings,
So all this time I just kept quiet about it.
I didn't want to make anything awkward or make you
feel pressured. But this was just too much. I freaked out,
and I guess. I guess I ruined everything got jab me.
You just had to let your emotions get the better
of you. No, it's okay. You don't have to explain anything,
nor do you have to apologize. It is what it is.
Just like we always say when we lose this ranked games, right,
I just happened to lose the stupid game god love.
Oh my gosh, look at me saying all this cringey
ass love sick stuff. Oh this is why I hate
falling in love in the first place. I feel so stupid.
I guess it is what it is. I don't know. Hey,
what are you doing? Of course you can hug me.
I just I wasn't expecting it, and I already told
you don't have to apologize. Besides, now you're just making
it extra awkward. And seriously, what's with you? If you
keep hugging me this tight, it's gonna be hard for
me to try to forget my feelings for you. What
do you mean you don't want the feelings to fade?
What are you talking about, Dune, No way, you're not
actually telling me that after all this time, you've started
to develop feelings for me too? Are you choking? I
don't know. I just feel like maybe you feel bad
for me, and that's why you're saying all this. And
I really don't want you to be with me out
of pity or anything like that. Seriously, then why wouldn't
you just tell me? Don't tell me that you just
made this girl up so you could get this reaction
out of me. Seriously, If that's the case, I'm gonna
beat your Okay, how did this get so complicated? So
all this time you and me have been hiding our
feelings for each other because we promised not to fall
in love and then we did. Anyway, I don't know
whether to laugh or cry. Okay, Oh my gosh, I
mean it is funny but I feel like we've wasted
so much time and holding back for so long. You know,
Oh god, what a relief it is to spill everything
out into the open. I don't know, I'm I'm actually
feeling kind of relieved and happy. I mean, I know
I'm crying right now, but I feel so free from
all of those emotions. I was so afraid and it
was for nothing at all. That is so relieving. Was
with that smile? You look like an idiot? Shut up?
Will you? What the hell do you mean? You didn't
expect this side of me. I'm still a girl, you know,
and of course I get emotional. You're my best friend,
and no, not the in game kind of emotional. Shut up,
I mean in real life too. I just hied it
towards most people because it's kind of embarrassing for me.
I don't really feel like I fit in with most girls,
and so I guess I just put my emotions on
the back burner. Well, I guess you'll be the lucky
guy to see me like this, even though it is
so cringe. And if you're really serious that you like me,
I won't hesitate anymore. I'm serious, you and me, can
we be more than friends. I won't let this opportunity slide.
I want to be your girlfriend. I'm for you to
be mine and mine alone. Is that okay? You will really?
Oh my gosh, that makes me really really really really
really happy. It feels like I just hit the ssrble
gotchas and life. I'm so happy. You know, this just
gives me a lot of cool ideas. Now that we're
a couple, we can finally pull off what all those
other stupid ey couples always do during ranked games. You know,
we'll be all, oh, nice, try baby, and then foresee
the flair all in voice chat. No no, no, I'm
actually regretting that we won't do that. Maybe instead of flirting,
we should just flame each other in voice chat as
a joke so our teammates start to freak out. Imagine
me being like, hey, you missed that shot again, you idiot.
That's it. You're sleeping on the couch again tonight. And
of course you can still go all out on the
trash talk with me. Nothing's gonna change between us. You know,
you're still my best buddy for duo games in rank only.
Now you get the benefits of being in a relationship too. Okay,
enough of the gamer talk. I want you to do
me a favor. I've been wanting this for so long
I can hardly stand it. Will you please cuddle me? Yes,
right here in my bed. Okay, you can forget I
said that if you don't want to. Oh geez, can
you at least give me a warning? Wow? This is
so nice. God knows how long I've wanted to do
this with you. I'm not gonna lie. It's gonna be
pretty hard to hold back being clinging with you all
those times that I've been hugging you and we win. WHOA,
Let's just say that I've been sneaking in some hugs
for my own personal agenda. Hey, don't access surprised. Besides,
if you didn't like it, then why did we stay
hugging for like, I don't know, ten fIF teen seconds.
You must have been enjoying it too. Seeing I'm not
the only one with a personal agenda. Well, I forgive you,
I guess. So what's gonna happen to that other e
girl now that you've you know, picked me? I mean
you are picking me right good. I'm just making sure.
I mean, will she feel upset if she knows that
you're canceling on her. I couldn't imagine how that might feel,
despite knowing she's competition. Oh, you hadn't even told her
that you wanted to take her out. Well, that is
a relief for both of us. Now you can just
slowly forget all about her and focus on me. I'm
not possessive. I just never want you to look at
any other woman ever at all, except for me. Now.
That's so much to ask. I'm competitive everywhere, and not
just in games. Pull me tighter, yes, just like that.
That's so nice. I'm not gonna lie. I'm so freaking
cozy with you, I might fall asleep. I knew that
you would be good at cuddles, but this is just
another level. It's so nice. Yeah, you too, well. I
hope that you can get used to this position because
I insist on being a small spoon now and for
the rest of our days. I know it's kind of
a tight squeeze, but you're not gonna complain about it,
are you good? I'll be quiet. We let's take a nap.
Mm hmm. You're so cute. You look so freaking cute
with your arms around me. I feel so happy. I'm
glad I told you how I really feel m hm.
And I'm so glad to be your girlfriend now mm hmm.
Now let's have a nap. Sweet dreams, babe, mm hmm
