Chud met Robin in her backyard that Friday around sunset. Her overprotective father wouldāve NEVER approved having a boy over while they were away, so she snuck him through the back, out of sight of their Ring doorbell camera.
<I just ordered some pizza and drinks.
>Nice.
She was still wearing her schoolgirl outfit. Damn, heād never get over how well it showed off her figure and her personalities. He couldnāt get too excited, though. The last thing he needed was to embarrass himself at her home.
She closed the back sliding door and led him to her living room.
<Uhh⦠so do you wanna play on the living room TV or my roomā¦? My Xbox is up there right nowā¦
Her room? Sheās offering fur us to go up to her room? Uh, hell YES!!! Who cares if their living room has a giant flat screen TV and a fancy sound system?
>Uh, it doesnāt really matter where, but I think it would be more convenient if we didnāt have to move everything down here. Iād imagine that setting up a console on that TV is a pain in the ass.
<Youāre not wrong about that, my room it is then!
She gekkered nervously. Chud chuckled in return.
<But why donāt we wait fur the pizza to get here first?
They awkwardly sat down on the couch in silence as they waited. What the fluff am I doing? This is the perfect time to strike conversation with her, and Iām just sitting here like dead as a rock! He turned to say something to her, only to find that she was already scrolling away on her phone.
Aaaaannnd⦠thatās what I get fur hesitating, Fluff! He decided to take out his phone as well, so he didnāt look like some psycho staring at a blank TV screen. He saw that Averi finally responded to his text earlier that week. Heād asked her if they were cool after that incident at lunch, only to be left on read.
<Yeah? Why wouldnāt we be ācoolā, or whatever dudebroās like you say?
āDudebroā? She was definitely still pissed at him.
>Averi, what did I do to you? Does being your friend mean Iām not allowed to talk to other girls?
<No, but you completely ignored my warnings⦠I was trying to prevent you from embarrassing yourself.
>I understand, but nothing happened! And now Iām playing Halo with her. See? You donāt need to worry about me so much. I can take care of myself.
He saw text bubbles, indicating that she was typing something, but they stopped. Chud was going to respond when their pizza arrived.
They split the pepperoni pizza pie in half and ate it in her dining room. Once Chud was done, he excused himself and went to the bathroom to wash his greasy palms. He checked his phone. Averi still hadnāt responded to him. He shook his head. No point in worrying about her now, he was at Robinās place fur a reason.
After Robin finished, they both went upstairs to her room. Chud felt his heart pounding out of his chest. Sure, heād been here befure, but he knew one wrong move could end everything. He casually sat down on the floor in front of her bed, facing her TV screen. It was smaller than the one in the living room, but it was in HER room, and thatās all that mattered. She turned on the TV and her Xbox One befure sitting down next to Chud. She had two controllers in her lap. She gave him the white one. He could see that her black one had extra buttons on the bottom. It mustāve been some try-hard pro controller or some shit like that.
<Why donāt we warm up by doing a one-on-one?
>A what?
Chudās mind raced as he imagined Robin suddenly jumping on him, and they began to make out. ARRGGG!!! NO!!! Not now⦠Chud snapped out of it. Thatās NOT what she meantā¦
<sigh Oh cmon! You should know what that is!
>āCourse I do! But donāt start crying if I donāt let you get any kills!
<tskt Donāt even, Chudā¦
Robin set up a custom multiplayer match on the Battlecreek map from Halo: CE. She was going way too fast fur Chud to see what settings she was choosing. Probably something that gave her an advantage, that sly fluffing vixenā¦
The match began, and they were off to the races. Heh, this will be easy, I can literally see her POV since weāre playing split screen. He walked from behind the bunker he spawned at and picked up a Needler. Now all I have to do is bait her to come into the open and then-
Chudās shield suddenly broke without warning as two grenades exploded near him. WHAT THE FLUFF??? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM??? Befure he could turn around and get into cover, Robin ran towards him, mag dumping her battle rifle till he rag-dolled. She then proceeded to crouch over him repeatedly. Is she⦠T-bagging me???
<Heh, what a noob you are, Chud!
Chud stayed quiet as he waited to respawn. Was it different when a woman T-bagged you? Heād been T-bagged in other multiplayer games heād played over the years. Heād usually respond by raging in chat until he got kicked or outright banned from the gameās server fur āhate speechā or some shit like that. What if Robin T-bagging me⦠meant something else? What if it were a sign of potential sexual interest? What if-
Chud was so lost in his delusional fantasies that he failed to react in time when his shield went offline again. Robin punched him to death with her battle rifle and t-bagged him again.
<Chud, hereās a tip: Shoot your gun to damage me! GEEEKKKK!!!!
>I⦠know thatā¦
This fluffing vixen pooch! Does she think Iām retarded?
>I think I need to adjust my sensitivity⦠My aim is all offā¦
<Yeah, right! You havenāt even attempted to shoot me yet! You have to press the āright triggerā to attack! Did you know that Chud? Or are you that much of a PClet?
Did she just call me a⦠PClet? What kind of fluffing insult is that? He respawned underneath the arch in the center of the map. He remembered there being a sniper rifle on a secluded ledge right next to the arch. He was halfway up the ladder when a rocket knocked him off.
>FUUUCCKKK!!!
<GEEEKKK!!! Are you getting frustrated, Chud? Does losing to a FEMALE make you mad?
He fell down and lost his shield again. He tried firing his plasma pistol at her to no avail. He had to experience the humiliation of being T-bagged fur the third time.
<Wow, I didnāt know Halo had bot support fur multiplayer! GEEEKKKK!!!
This is so embarrassing! Why would a gamer girl like her ever want to be with a console noob like me? I knew switching to PC was a mistake!
>If this were on PC, I wouldāve killed you 10 times over!
<MmmHmm! Suuureeeā¦
After 10 minutes of seeing his Spartan die at her hands, she suddenly paused and ended the game.
>Hey! What gives!
She gekkerd lightly
<Iām taking pity on youā¦
>Wh- I donāt need your pity! I was just about to sneak up on-
<Donāt worry, that was just a warmup! Why donāt we do some co-op instead?
>Like the campaign? Sure-
<-On Legendary, of course!
>W-why?
Why is this pooch so sadistic? She just wants to see me suffer! Does she get something out of this? Is she keeping me around just so she can have someone to point and laugh at? What a cuntā¦
To his surprise, Robin set the campaign to Normal difficulty instead.
<I think weāll enjoy a more laid-back experience⦠You donāt mind, do you?
>No, not at allā¦
If anything, it was perfect! If they werenāt so focused on playing the game, it would give them the perfect opportunity to have a conversation with each other. Luckily fur him, she made the first move while they were fighting their way across the Pillar of Autumn.
<Sooo, if you donāt mind me asking, why were you and Averi absent on Monday?
>Oh! Uh⦠we had to finish our projects⦠We kinda furgot, I guess?
<Really? I knew YOU would probably furget that, but Averi? Sheās usually on top of things, even if it doesnāt seem like sheās all thereā¦
Huh? What was Robin implying? He knew Averi was eccentric, but he never clocked her as someone with actual mental issues or anything like that⦠Sure, we did have a little fight, but that was mainly my fault. And she got over that already⦠He thought about the phone in his pocket. He still hadnāt felt it vibrate. Maybe Averi went to sleep alreadyā¦
>What do you mean?
<Well, you know sheās been through quite a lot⦠most of it was when she was back on the islandā¦
The island? Is that what they call Puerto Rico? Chud imagined it as some crime-ridden hellhole; no wonder why she left.
>Well, sheād never told me anything about her past life.
<ā¦Do you want to know?
A part of Chud felt like he shouldnāt be prying about personal details of her life like that. After all, shouldnāt Averi be the one telling me instead?
>Uh, no⦠not reallyā¦
<ā¦Okayā¦
They were silent as the cutscene fur the Halo mission played showing Master Chief crash-land onto the ring. When they got to the part where they had to search fur survivors with their Warthog, Robin somehow fell off a cliff and got them all killed. They both laughed awkwardly.
<So, how are you enjoying this game so far?
> It's good, I guessā¦
<You guess?
>Well, itās not bad per se⦠I guess Iām just going with the flowā¦
<ā¦
<You⦠look a lot better than you did befureā¦
>Uh, thanks�
Was that a backhanded compliment? Sure, I did make an effurt to look nice tonyaght, but I didnāt go all out or anything.
<Itās a start, donāt get me wrong. You donāt look like someone who spends hours in their room all day anymoreā¦
>Uhā¦
What was up with her? Didnāt she know that her ācomplimentsā came off as rude? And thatās coming from me!
>Well, I remember at lunch when I asked if I could sit next to you andā¦
Robin froze. Chud didnāt have to look at her to tell; her Spartan stopped moving in-game. That clearly caught her off guard.
<Yeah, sorry, I just⦠my friends donāt know about this whole thing yet⦠and I donāt really want to tell them about it⦠You should understandā¦
>But I also remember you saying⦠You had second thoughts-
<Yeah, yeah, I know⦠Look this is all⦠very confusing to me. You have to understand how weird a situation this is⦠I still donāt think Iām ready to fully commit to anything right now⦠Do you understand?
Chud felt his grip of the controller tighten as he tried to contain his anger. Of fluffing course, she was doing some hard-to-get bullshit!!! I only have myself to blame; I agreed to do this with her. But man, I really donāt want her to drag this out only to her to change her mind at the last second. Then again, I am literally sitting right next to her in her own bedroom, which HAS to mean something, right?
>Yeah, I thinkā¦
<ā¦
>Hey Robin, quick question if you donāt mind: What do you see in me anyway?
<Eh⦠uh⦠wow⦠thatās certainly a questionā¦
He didnāt like the sound of that. She had to pause the game to think it over.
<Well, you know, back in 5th gradeā¦
>I already know about this Robin. I overheard your conversation with Averi.
<ā¦Of course you did-
>But I find it hard to believe thatās the only reason why youāre doing this thing with me in the first place.
<I get it⦠Itās just hard to put into wordsā¦
>Averi told me that she thinks youāre just pushing me around.
Why did I say that? It just came out⦠fluff!
<Averi?
Robin shook her head and gekkered.
<Why are you listening to her? We both know she has a thing fur you. You canāt trust anything she says! What a gaslighting poochā¦
She crossed her arms and looked straight at Chud.
<And tell me, Chud, why would I need to āpushā you around fur? You know, I donāt really NEED a man in the first place, I can take care of myself just fine! But I think Iām a very loving and kind person, and I wanna share that love with others...
She wants to share her āloveā with others? That sounds like something a narcissistic whore would say to justify her being a dumb slut!
>I⦠donāt follow you?
<Well, think of this as an apology fur how I⦠bullied you back then. A proper one⦠We both know you havenāt had the best social life since then, and I DO feel kinda bad that I was partially responsible fur that⦠If I can āfixā you, then I think that Iāll have done something to make up fur that, no?
>I-I guess?
<And maybe by then⦠youāll be suitable fur meā¦
Chud blushed as he heard that. Robin turned away from him, presumably she was blushing too.
<Um⦠why donāt we continue playing?
>S-sureā¦
Just as they were about to resume, Robin got a random friend request from within the game. Their username was āChickenLover89ā. Chud and Robin glanced at each other. It didnāt take a detective to figure out who it was.
>Well, I guess we could do a free-fur-all or some-
Robin declined the friend request.
>Uh⦠why did you do-
<Iām fluffing tired of that⦠cunt always barging in where she doesnāt belong!
She held the Xbox button on her controller and shut off the console.
Chud checked his phone; it was just shy of 10 P.M. He was surprised that Averi (If that really was her) hadnāt blown up their phones with angry texts yet. Robin yawned, stretched out her arms, and leaned against the side of her bed. Her floppy ears cutely rested on her head. She caressed her hair slightly. Her tail curled around her legs. Chud gulped at the sight. She smiled as she saw his reaction.
<Why donāt we do⦠something else, Chud~?
