Rapid Fate Online Chapter 13: Join The Party

“Oh right! I see.” You said happily. 

“Well…I think I’d better head back in to the inn and log off, it’s-.” 

You swiped the holographic menu down to see real world time and made the silent scream face. 

“IT’S 5:30AM!!!!” You said in a horror stricken voice as your dead eyes met Butterfli3’s

“Oh! Is that the time??” He said, “I need to go too!…uh O/N…would…would you mind if we shared a room at the inn? I’ll pay.”

You looked at him, dubiously. 

“What do you mean??” You asked. 

“Well, um, we both stay in the same room when we log out. Our avatars, or characters, will stay together while we’re offline in the real world. The…the only reason I suggested it is so that you can save your hard earned Mahi.” He said shyly.

“Yes that’s fine Butterfli3 I trust that you wouldn’t do anything to my character while I’m gone.” You said with a smile. 

“And same goes for me O/N.” He replied softly. 

You both went back to the Inn and he bought a room that was about 120 Mahi.

“Why didn’t you just get the cheapest room?” You asked as you followed him up the stairs. 

“I thought you deserved the upgrade.” He said, not looking back at you. “Well, here we are.” He said as he reached the room door, putting the keys in and turning it to open the door.

“Oh wow!” You breathed. “This is nice!” You said as he stood back and ushered you in first. 

“It will do.” He said. 

You walked over to the bed and sat down. 

Butterfli3 stretched and unbuttoned his coat, taking it off and hanging it up on the coat rack that was behind the door. 

You could feel your heartbeat increasing. This felt kinda…intimate.

He turned and walked over to where you were sitting on the bed and walked around to the other side, sitting down before lying back on the bed and resting his head on the pillow. 

“Lie down O/N.” He said gently as he patted the bed beside him. 

You swallowed and lay down gingerly, rolling on your side to face him. 

He was on his back with his arms up above his head and you studied his side profile before he rolled his head to the side to look at you, his deep navy blue eyes taking you in. 

“T-thank you for today.” You said softly with a small smile. 

“You’re welcome O/N.” He replied. “See you tomorrow?” 

“Yes I’ll be back on around 4pm real time.” You said happily. 

“Ok, I’ll see you then.” He said with a smile. “Bye.” 

“Bye Butterfli3.” You said softly as you swiped your menu open, watching as he did the same. 

You clicked log off and you saw his form evaporate as yours did at the same time. 

All of a sudden you were back in your room, lying on your bed. You just lay there for a bit thinking about everything that had happened. 

“Man I really like this Butterfli3 guy…”

…………….

“Ok, listen if you come to school looking like death again I’m going to murder you to put you out of your misery.” You B/F said upon seeing you slumped unceremoniously in your chair, hair slightly wild with killer bags under your eyes. 

“Please.” You begged. “Please just shoot me.”

“After lunch,” she promised. “I’ll shoot you after your last meal.” 

Lunchtime came and you dragged yourself to the cafeteria and sat down at a booth table. 

“I’ll get you a coffee.” Your B/F said as she hopped up. 

“Bless you, kind soul.” You mumbled with tears in your eyes. 

As she disappeared off to get you a coffee, Mirio and his two best friends walked past. 

“Y/N!” Mirio yelled when he saw your almost corpse-like state. “You look terrible! Are you ok?” 

“I’m fine I’m just dying.” You replied flatly. 

Nejire and Tamaki gave you sympathetic looks.

“THE SAVIOUR IS HERE!” You heard your B/F call as she returned from her coffee run. 

“Oh thank goodness!” Mirio replied happily, “I was starting to worry about Y/N here.”

“She’s good, just needs to be shot that’s all.” Your B/F replied casually. 

You took a sip of the coffee and nearly wept at how wonderful it tasted. 

“Oh!” Mirio said suddenly after everyone had spent enough time watching you pull all kinds of orgasmic faces from sipping on the delicious latte coloured nectar. “B/F!” He said, addressing your bestie, “I bought RFO!”

You nearly snorted the coffee out your nose and quickly covered your face and looked away as you choked pitifully on the liquid. 

“You DID?!” Your B/F replied, eyeing your strange reaction from where she sat across from you. 

“Yeah! It’s amazing!” He said, sliding into the booth next to your B/F. 

Tamaki sat down gingerly beside him as Mirio patted the seat to invite the shy boy to sit and Nejire slid in next to you, rubbing your back to help as you regained your composure from inhaling the coffee. 

“How long have you been on?” Your B/F asked Mirio. 

“Oh…about a week now. I’m level 5.” He said proudly. 

You had just taken another sip of coffee and almost spat it again. 

“Y-Y-Y/N… are you ok?” Tamaki’s soft, concerned voice asked upon seeing you choke for the second time in just a few minutes. 

You nodded and waved your hand dismissively to show that he shouldn’t worry about it 

He just nodded and looked down at the table, his lips quivering nervously.

“Awww such a sweet, shy boy.” You gushed internally, still looking at Tamaki. 

As Mirio and your B/F discussed different things about RFO you felt more and more dejected, they seemed to just find the game easy and fun. 

“Why has everything been so hard for me?! Maybe I should just give up?” You thought as a sad look crossed your face. “No but…I want to see Butterfli3 again…”

“I want to be a combat mage!” Mirio said. 

You were immediately bought back to the present conversation. 

“Oh wowww! That’s so cool!” Your B/F commented. “We should meet up in game tonight!”

“Ok note to self, avoid any beast tamers and combat mages in the future.” You noted mentally. 

“Tamaki! Nejire! You two should join up as well! We could all play together!” Mirio said enthusiastically.

Tamaki’s soul nearly left his body.
