So, Benrey fucked up big time and allat. But since his 'best friend' (which he climed they were) Gordon didn't took everything that happened close to the heart, they stayed best buddies.

After all that nightmare going on in the Black Mesa, they managed to still keep in touch- usually hanging out together now, when it's peaceful. Usually they watched some shows or whatever, to keep themselves distracted from things in the words. Men just needed to catch their breaths after all the events back in those labs.

With it being only a starting glow up of an internet at the time- there was so much disinformation. and Bernry wasn't a stupid man- of course he wasn't. That's why he used some artictes to his own good! Against, you guess who?

Gordon!

As Mr. Freeman sat there on the couch, munching off on a pack of chips with his hair up in a neat (who are we lying to here?) bun, watching some stupid tv show, Berney stormed into the room. for a moment, Gordon glanced at him, before returning to the show.

But the presence didn't go away.

"Gordon," Berney started, his voice is not much dripping with emotions, though it's slightly more stern then usually. "The world ends today."

What? Where did that come from? Gordon turns to look at him- raising an eyebrow, as if to ask 'really?'

"This is Vanga's prediction. She said world ends at 1x.xx... Look at the calendar. It's today." He continued, pointing at it and making Freeman sigh and glance towards calendar on the wall. Well yes indeed, it was today, but...

He wanted to protest, when Berney spoke up again.

"Bro, we gotta kiss before the world ends. Please." he asked, politely, though without much emotion showing, a per usual. he approached even, leaning over the back of the couch to look other man in the eyes. Damn???
