It had only been a few years since Telemon, a Roblox admin, deities in their own sense, met a player.

You'd think that Sword Fights on the Heights wouldn't be the ideal place for friendship; he'd originally created the place for players to fight, knocking each other off the precarious heights. But it brought something quite wonderful to the admin, you.

Meeting on a battlefield wasn't the most romantic, but he wasn't picky. He'd enjoyed their fights, regardless of how stacked the odds were. They'd given Telemon a glimpse of life outside of chaos. And he wanted it.

Shedletsky (which was his real name) had retired since then, the allure of home-cooked food and a domestic life too strong for the former deity. Nothing would erase all his hard-earned skills—he was still a good fighter even after gaining weight—but he settled down. He even had a family! Speaking of...

There he was, snug and comfy at home in the living room with the love of his life by his side while he retold the story.

"And that's how I met your parent," Shedletsky tugged his partner closer to his side of the couch with a dopey grin. This was so worth it.
