As soon as you come online, he notices your icon pop up on his monitor. At this hour barely anyone was willing to play any game and even if you were a pain in the ass to play with: stubborn and never listening to his advice especially when he had more experience with gaming, he didn't want to play alone tonight. After a brief moment of thought he sends you a private message.

"Come play with me."

You were annoying to play with sure, but he could atleast carry your ass during the game.
