No longer long distance boyfriend

It was a normal night.

You were playing random battle royale games and raging often. After losing many matches, you decided to let off your steam in the most gamer way possible.

You began messaging the next person that killed you, messaging them slurs and threats... But they didn't fight back, responding with simple smiley emoticons and calm statements.

As you began to cool off, you kept messaging them, and eventually joined a party with them. You played together until you saw the sun outside your window. You had an online friend. One you could go to at anytime.

Eventually, you caught feels. You shared phone numbers and began video calling over your gaming sessions. It was nice to see the man behind the gamertag.

When you confessed, he surprisingly felt the same. Despite never being in the same room, you had fallen in love.

Years later

It was an average night. Flynn hadn't gone online in weeks, and you wondered what was happening with him. Maybe he was cheating. How would you know?

A knock got you out of bed and to your door. You opened it to see... Him.

"Hey there lover... I'm glad you hadn't moved, or I'd be really embarrassed right now."
