Slept Through the Mini Boss

I’m tired but I like this prompt. So, I’mma write it. Streamer!Cloud still comes from @chaoscheebs I’m only borrowing it.

Cloud glared at the screen in front of him, doing his best to focus on the area around his character. He had been grinding the past hour and had been about to call it for a bit to go lie down and take a nap before the stream later tonight; they were going to kill the boss tonight.

He’d dedicated a whole hour each night to trying to kill the boss for the past three streams but he was sure that tonight was going to be different. There was nothing else to do until he beat this boss actually, it was a story boss keeping him from the next part of the game.

He had been grinding for some of the resources he needed, health and ammo items mostly, when the notice for an invader appeared on his screen. It had locked him into the area he was in, waiting for the invader to come find him so they could fight each other.

Cloud didn’t doubt that he would loss to the other player; he was tired, low on resources and completely ill-equipped to deal with another player. He just had to wait for the other to find him in the map.

He rubbed at his face tiredly, barely suppressing a yawn as he waited for the invader to approach him. He lilted forward slightly but caught himself with a shake, setting himself back in his previous position on the couch and returning his attention to the game.

He managed to shake himself awake twice more before he fell into unconsciousness, dropping his head onto the back of the couch and loosening his grip on his controller.

Genesis’ gaze immediately went to the lit screen when he entered the room, turning to Cloud once he registered that the screen was displaying that game the other had been playing for his streams the past few days. 

His gaze softened immediately softened when he saw that the younger man was asleep. He approached the other quietly, quickly retrieving the controller from the other’s lax hands before it fell to the ground.

He had been about to put the console into Rest Mode and coax Cloud into a more comfortable position, when he noticed movement on the edge of the screen. He froze for a moment, blinking at the screen as he waited to see if the movement would appear again or if he had merely been seeing things.

The movement occurred again and Genesis saw that it was actually a character moving across the screen, a bit of a way from where Cloud’s character was situated. He blinked at the screen before turning to fix Cloud’s sleeping form with a considering look, he shrugged silently to himself and sat himself next to Cloud, testing out the controls for the game.

He could probably figure out how this game worked long enough for Cloud to get some rest.

Cloud jerked awake suddenly as the obvious sound of a successful visceral attack came through his speakers.

He bolted upright, gaze immediately focusing on the screen in front of him, expecting to see an invader standing over his character’s corpse. Instead there was his character, standing triumphantly over the invader’s form as the message that the adversary had died showed on the screen.

He stared at the screen for a few moments, unable to comprehend when he was seeing.

“I’m sorry, Cloud. Didn’t mean to wake you.” The words, spoken from next to him, sounded genuinely regretful. He turned his attention away from the screen, taking in the fact that Genesis was sitting next to him for the first time.

“How did you do that?” He asked, voice heavy from lingering sleep. 

“I shot they while they were starting to do a thing, then the character put his fist into their stomach.” Genesis answered with a shrug, moving the stick to cause the character to spin in circles. “Then when they were getting up I charged the other attack and something similar happened when they turned away from me.”

Cloud stared at his partner for a moment, blinking slowly as he realized what the other was saying. “You managed to kill the invader using visceral attacks, on accident?”

“I believe so,” Genesis answered, halting the character’s movements on screen. Turning to focus on Cloud as he questioned him. “You want to turn this off and go get some sleep somewhere more comfortable?”

Cloud blinked slowly once again, stunned by what Genesis had admitted to him. “Yeah,” he answered in a distracted tone. “I’m going to go lie down before the stream.” 

Genesis hummed in acknowledgement, quickly closing the game before turning off the console. Genesis stood from the couch, stretching his arms over his head before leaving the room. “Alright then, enjoy your catnap.”

Cloud nodded before standing from the couch himself, he’d have to get Genesis to talk about his little experience with the invader on the stream tonight. It’d certainly be more entertaining then watching him fail to kill the bullshit spider over and over again.

Everybody Talks|| Kylie and Ryder

Kylie was sitting down stairs in the living room/bacement of Ryder's house with him playing video games. She didnt end up getting a ride home from school, because both her parents had to work late, but Mrs. Lynn was nice enough to let her come over and chill with Ryder for a bit, the only acception to that was they had to do they had to do their homework at some point. But that hadn't happened just yet. She had her leg on a few pillows, thanks to Ryder as they played. "You know this game actually really sucks" She told him as she drove the car into a cheat to get around half the map quicker, and hopefully win the race.

Ryder laughed over Kylie and rolled his eyes as Kylie was saying how the game sucked. "That's only because I keep beating you." He said as he once again won on a level of Mario Kart for wii. He was actually happy that Kylie had come over after school that day because if not he would have probably ended up murdered in a giant mountain of math homework if she didn't. Plus the two hadn't hung out in a while and he did still slightly feel bad for hurting her, even if it was an accident.

Kylie rolled her eyes "Not that, you just take the good chracters and leave me with out my favorites" She pouted as she watched as he won. "Can we play something that I could actually beat you at?" She said crosing her non-casted leg over the other as she reached on the coffee table for her phone, and checked her texts messages for a second before looking back at him. "Unless you wanna give me the good people?"

Ryder "So we have the same favorite? Not my fault that I have awesome taste." Ryder said laughing again. He put down the wheel as he heard his phone go off. He replied to the text he just received from Kitty. He didn't know why he had become so close with Kitty recently, but they had been talking a lot. It wasn't that he was gaining feelings for her again but he definitely did care about her and enjoyed talking to her. "Nope, you can just pick a better person." He said playfully nudging her as he picked up his wheel again.

Kylie "Is too your fault. You're suposed to let the guest pick first" She suck her tongue out at him. As she heard his phone go off she thought nothing of it, it was probably Marly or Blaine or Jake texting him. She tossed her phone into her lap ashe she looked at the screen to try to pick who she wanted to be this time. "There is no one better than brido though" She pouted at him.

Ryder "No, it was luck by chance since I picked up this remote. Yoshi is just badass, kay?" He said choosing Yoshi yet again. "You can pick the track though." He said smiling over at her. Right as he saw her pick a track, he heard his mom call for him. "Ugh, don't change characters! I am still Yoshi." He said standing up and pointing at her. He walked upstairs towards the kitchen to where his mom was calling him from. Apparently Mitsy knocked over the trash can again. WIth his mom being very pregnant, she couldn't really bend down and pick up all the trash so he had to clean it up. With her very pregnantness it made Ryder have to help out around the house a lot more, since she said right after he finished picking up the trash that he had to do the dishes.

Kylie rolled her eyes. "Yes he is. And thats why I always get him" She said waiting for him to come back after leaving. She played with her phone for a bit before hearing his going off again. She just figured it was Marley and grabbed it off the coffee table. When she saw it was kitty she raised an eyebrow at it. "Uh.." she slid the phone open and went to his text messages looking at the start of the conversation. It seemed to have started out harmless at first, but they both seemed to get flirting...And anything with Kitty, wasn't harmless. She wasn't going to say anything to Ryder as she put his phone back on the table, and crossed her arms thinking about it.

Ryder finished doing the dishes after what felt like 10 years. Once he was walking back down to the basement, he picked up his little dog to bring her downstairs so she wouldn't knock over anymore trashcans and causing him to have to go back upstairs to clean again. Ryder set Mitsy down on the couch as he set down. He looked over at his friend who was sitting there with her arms crossed. "Uh, are you okay? I mean if you're mad about me taking Yoshi, you can have him..." He said looking at her confused.

Kylie hear him come down stairs and she looked over at him for a second before srugging "Oh um. no. you're fine, keep him" She said as Mitsy came and layed on Kylie's lap. She petted the little one as she tried not to lead on to ryder that she looked at his phone.

Ryder looked at her confused again. "Uhhh, alright. Wanna start playing again before my mom calls me upstairs again?" He asked picking back up the wii remote again.

Kylie "What is she going to call you upstairs for now? A magical ghost in the shape of a sail boat comes and knocks thing off of the counter?" She said with a small laugh before grabbing her controler again.

Ryder "Dude, you never know it could happen." Ryder said shrugging and laughing. He started the game again and played whatever track she chose, and for some reason he decided he was gonna be nice and let her win this one race.

Kylie laughed slightly "I was kidding though" She said as she finally choice the hardest track. Rainbow Road. She knew she wasn't going to win, but neither was Ryder. That track was hard as hell.

Ryder "Still dude, it could happen." He said as he half assed the race, at least trying to let her win even though it was not gonna happen since it was Rainbow Road but he was at least being nice. "Why did you have to pick Rainbow Road when I was actually trying to let you win!" He said setting down the wiimote dramatically as he picked up his phone to see if he had any texts from when he was gone.

Kylie "I place my money on not though" She said as she actually raced and tried not to fall off, even if that was a feet in it's self not to do. She let out a laugh "Because I knew you wouldn't win" She smirked a little bit with a srug, as he picked up his phone. She looked away and looked down at her phone not wanting him to think she looked at his messages.

Ryder looked at his phone confused when he realized there were texts from Kitty that he hadn't seen and yet they were open. "Did you open my phone?" Ryder said looking over at his friend.

Kylie looked over at him confused. "phh no I would never look at your phone" She said looking back down at her pretending to check her instagram page.

Ryder "Okay, that was the most convincing answer in the world." He said rolling his eyes officially not believing her.

Kylie "It totally is cause I didn't do anything." She said still looking at her phone and scrolling instagram liking peoples pictures.

Ryder leaned back on the couch, accidentally leaning back on his dog. "Mitsy..." He said annoyed moving her off to the side before leaning back again and replying to the texts that he swore Kylie had seen.

Kylie looked over at him. "So. what is going on with you and Kitty?" She questioned softly with a slight sigh in her voice, knowing he already knew and if she kept the lie up she'd get in more trouble with him anyways

Ryder set his phone off to the side and looked over at his best friend. "Nothing? We are friends?" He asked confused on why she would even ask such a question when nothing was actually going on with him and Kitty. He was only innocently texting her like he did all his friends.

Kylie gave him a look, and that look was like 'no that is not how you text someone who is just friend. "Those text though. they don't look that way" she muttered to herself.

Ryder "So she called me hot? Is that a crime to say that? Seriously. She is only my friend, no feelings whatsoever and you sound crazy."

Kylie shook her head "And you carlessly was flirting back with her." She woud have gotten up and paced infront of him, but that ment moving a twenty pound cast with her as she did that and really didn't want to do that.

Ryder "No I wasn't?" He asked giving her one of the biggest what the fuck looks he had ever given anybody.

Kylie "Yes you were Ryder. I know what flirting via text looks like" She said think he had to have something wrong to be flirting with her when he had Marley.

Ryder "Well, I didn't realize I was, so obviously it wasn't on purpose. Why would I purposely flirt with someone when I have the greatest person in the world as my girlfriend?" He asked slamming his head on the back of the couch again, slightly annoyed at his friends accusations.

Kylie "I asked myself that same question as I looked at your text messages. To be honest, its still weird to me how close you're being with her after what she did to Marley." She sighed a bit.

Ryder "Marley asked me to forgive her, so I half did. I hurt Kitty and I still care about her. Is it so wrong to be friends with someone I get along with?"

Kylie shrugged her shoulders "Cause its Kitty, and I still don't trust her. And I wouldn't have forgave her, even have way very easily"

Ryder "Well, I forgive and she isn't gonna try anything. I wouldn't let her and apparently she wants my friendship. I have no idea why Marley even asked me to forgive her but there had to be some reasons."

Kylie "Its cause Marley is super nice, and sees the good in everyone." She shrugged. "But, whatever. You were /still/ flirting with Kitty though"

Ryder "I wasn't purposely flirting with her. It's not like I talk to her the way I talk to Marley, so why are you making a big deal about it?"

Kylie "The big deal is, even in its inosent flirting, its still flriting and I rather not have my best friend hurt.." She paused for a moment. "Not that I think you're going to to hurt Marley.."

Ryder "It is innocent flirting though! Accidental innocent flirting! I am not wanting to hurt Marley at all, I'm not like that." He said in an annoyed tone, crossing his arms.

Kylie shook her head. "Again, innocent or not its still flirting though, Ry." Kylie was trying to get it into his head that this wasnt a good idea. "What if it was Marley who saw that and not me?"

Ryder "Then I would tell her exactly what I'm telling you. There is nothing going on. I'm sorry if my niceness is considered flirting. Marley is seriously the only person I think about in that way, hell one of the only people I think about." He said rolling his eyes at her, now extremely annoyed.

Kylie shook her head and pulled her free leg up to her chest. "Whatever you say , Ryder."

Ryder "Are you going to tell Marley about this stupid thing?"

Kylie shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know, should I tell her your flirting with Kitty?"

Ryder "Except I'm not! So there is literally NOTHING to tell."

Kylie roled her eyes with a sigh. "But you are to blinde to see you are."

Ryder "Then it obviously means NOTHING. Seriously though, are you going to tell Marley and make it sound way worse than it it?"

Kylie "How can i make 'Ryder was fliritng with Kitty' worst than that sounds?" She questioned him

Ryder "Because I wasn't flirting with her!"

Kylie rolled her eyes and laid her head on the couch and put a pillow over her face "Whatever Ryder."

Ryder "Now, why did you go through my phone to begin with?"

Kylie "I wasn't going to" She muttered still having the pillow on her face. "I'm sorry I was curious" She said tossing her phone at him. "here have free range of my phone. Just don't delete anything"

Ryder "No, that's invasion of privacy." He said tossing her phone back at him. "Let's just start our homework...I have a lot to do anyways."

Kylie "NO! Look at it, I don't care" She said not moving the pillow from her face.

Ryder "I'm going to do my homework now." He said throwing a pillow at her and walking over to his backpack to take his books out of it.

Kylie moved as he hit her with the pillow "OW! I think you just bruised my rib" She said jokingly as he finally moved the pillow from her face

Ryder rolled his eyes at her as he brought his homework back over to the couch. Still in too bad of a mood to actually make a smart ass comment to her joke.

Kylie "Well then Mr. Grumpy gills" She muttered as she hopped on one foot over to her bag to get her binder out, before hopping back.

Ryder "Okay Dory..." He said opening his notebook and math book to try and get some of what he was assigned done at the moment.

Kylie "I cannot live up to ellen degeneres, I am no Dory." She said with a sigh.

Ryder "No, you definitely can't." He said under his breath not even looking over at her.

Kylie rolled her eyes a bit at him "I heard that."

Ryder "That was the point."

Kylie "meh"

Ryder "Now homework." He said as he actually started writing things, just wanting her to stop talking to him.

Kylie rolled her eyes as she looked at her english homework, not really wanting to do this right now, nor not really wanting to be around Ryder either.

Eggs and Boys

Today is a story about my sister. This a story of heart break and sisterhood.

My sister fell in love and the boy was as quirky as she was cute. They hadn't been together long but my sister was smitten (does anyone use that word anymore). Then he broke her heart, left the province, and didn't really talk to her again.

But she still cared for him....

  This made me want to scream at my sister and call her an idiot but then I remember how happy he made her. How they got drunk together and I watched as they dancing in the parking lot with no music because he believed every girl should have a slow dance with someone. I remembered how they had so many moments, looks,smiles, and jokes that only they understood.

This wasn't my sister's first love but he was her Orpheus...the one who shined the brightest, she followed him and loved him....but could never completely stand by his side.

I never knew how the fall out happened, not all the details...I only remember her crawling into my bed and crying. I remember grabbing her out of bed at 2am and driving to the closest connivence store that was open. I bought 2 dozen eggs then driving to his house. We threw every single egg...no one opened the door or called the police so we left driving back home.

I remember sitting in the kitchen with her eating ice cream straight out of a carton. She still looks sad.

"Chicks over Dicks Dude." 

"Dude?"

"It's 3 am in the morning...nothing good comes out of my mouth at 3am."

"Hey, Em?"

"Yup?"

"Sisters over Misters."

There is still a sadness but I watch as bit of her smile creeps in. I know for now he may have broken her heart but as her sister I would do my best to make sure she puts back the pieces. 

One bad line at a time.
