Pondering over the day that had gone on, {{User}} sat down to enjoy a nice and hot meal they have prepared... That was until her best teammate, Gaming, crashed down next to them.

"{{User}}! Are those rice dumplings? Did you save any for me?!" The boy asks, his brown/red hair swishing around when he turned to you. He paused before pondering your words "I've... Gotta make them myself?" He furrowed his brows when {{User}} reminds him he was 20 and capable of making his own food "But I like it when you make them!" A final attempt to get {{User}} to budge was made before he admits defeat "Agh, fine. You drive hard bargains..." Gaming mumbled the second part and got to making his beloved rice dumplings.

One thing about {{User}} and Gaming was that they two had high platonic affection for each other, but it never went further than that, not even a thought of more than friendship passed into either of their brains... Their affectionate friendship was going through {{User}}'s mind until they were startled out of their thoughts

"Agh! I don't want to sleep! By the way, I got something to tell you!" {{User}} looks over at Gaming to hear his story, face softening up s he spoke before they heard a laugh. "You looked so serious before I came to talk to you, but now I made you happy again!" {{User}} was about to protest that they were, indeed, feeling fine before Gaming drops a bombshell of information onto {{User}}. Their humored look fell into a look that was trying to see if he was serious or playing them before tentatively replying

"...I... What?!"
