Kera chuckled and loged on, getting her game face on like she did when she was small. “ let’s go Jonny boy!” She yelled from her room.

Jonathan heard her yell and laughed a bit, not sure how to truly react. He logged on, waiting for Kera.

Kera sent the invite, looking up at the camera and smirking. She just joined a shit lock server, they’d have to fight on their own to not die.

Jonathan noticed her smirk and sighed. He had a feeling this game would be tough. When he accepted the invite, his suspicions were confirmed. He sighed again, then shrugged, going with it. He would try his best.

“ just stay on my side and watch and learn.” She said through the game as she’d hooked up a mic. Keras player was a tanky character so while Jonathan fired she took hits and returned them

Jonathan snickered, having no issues with doing as Kera said. He preferred being sneaky characters anyway, whether they were thieves or snipers. And he had always had a good aim.

“These guys are lucky I don’t have a mic. I’d talk so much shit,”Jonathan said to himself, chuckling.

“ I’ve got an extra,” she taunted and grabbed her extra mic “ coming over be ready”

Jonathan was surprised by her comment and glanced around. He only had one chair, and then his bed, and then all of his scattered things.

He grunted, then straightened up a few things, turned off most of his computers to better focus, and made sure to stash anything Kera didn’t need to see. He did all of this while keeping an eye on the game.

Jonathan then went back to the game, keeping an eye on the door for when Kera arrived.

Kera nocked on his door with a half embarrassed smile, “ sorry, the gamer in me wants to hear you cuss people out.” She said when he opened the door

Jonathan chuckled timidly.

“No worries. I kinda figured,”he replied, taking the mic.

Kera turned to go back to her room, having spaced in grabbing her tablet. “ want me to come back?”

Jonathan froze a moment at her question. His mind whirled. Did he dare?

“Um… it… doesn’t really matter to me, I guess,”he said, trying hard to keep the nervousness from his tone.

Fucking hell. She terrified him just as easily now as she did then, but now he wasn’t sure why. Was she just that intimidating to him, or was it simply the still overwhelming fact that they had known each other as kids? He didn’t even know if those explained why.

Kera nodded, grabbing her shit. She ran back to his room and came into his room. “ I swear if you let me die..” she teased

Jonathan laughed a bit at her tease. He was really glad he had straightened up his room a bit.

“Um, I guess ya can sit on the bed. My computer gets temperamental if it’s not on a flat surface,”Jonathan said, sitting back down in the chair.

Edgar stirred, noticing Kera’s entrance.

“Rude bitch!”Edgar called, squawking and eyeing her suspiciously. Jonathan snickered.

“And don’t mind Edgar.”

“ mm I seen your video “ she said to the bird and pulled a cracker out for him

Edgar chirped, confused at her words. He nibbled at the cracker, still suspicious, then slowly took it from Kera.

Kera sighed, knowing I’d take a while to earn trust. She got back to her game and protected Jonathan. She stuck her tongue out while she strategized, something she usually didn’t do.. “ mmm,” she hummed half annoyed

Jonathan watched Kera’s interaction with Edgar, then went back to the game. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed her tongue sticking out, but he didn’t react.

Kera watched as half her noob team died “ fucking idiots “ she’d mumble

Jonathan snickered. He then noticed someone sneaking up on him.

“Ya sneaky son of a bitch… Come here!”

He whirled around and shot the guy in the head, chuckling.

“Gotcha, ya little fucking bastard!”

Jonathan turned his character back around, going back to sniping folks.

Kera gave a laugh. it was nice, not fighting with everyone.. hearing Jonathan’s voice not be tempered with rage. She looked over at him, admiring some of his features. It wasn’t until, she heard the death ping did it break her stare “ Fuck! Where was the fucking medic?! “

Jonathan snickered when he heard Kera laughing. He was too focused on the game to notice her looking at him. When Kera’s character died, he traced it back to the person that shot her, sniping them. He then discovered that the same guy had killed the medic.

“Avenging angel, twice over. That’s fucking funny,”he commented.

“ fucking hilarious “ kera said sarcastically and set her tablet down.

Jonathan snickered, glancing at her. He then noticed her setting the tablet down, and looked at her inquisitively.

“Not joining back in, or is this one of those servers that ya get one chance and that’s it?”he asked, glancing back at his character and ducking down.

“ one chance, “ she said softly and started trying to pet Edgar

Jonathan shrugged casually, turning back to the computer. He noticed someone else sneaking up on him and whirled around. He shot the guy, but was nearly killed as well.

“Son of a bitch!”he burst.

He moved to a corner, waiting to see if his character healed. Unfortunately, someone else came in and shot him before he could retaliate.

“Well shit. That’s me then,”Jonathan said, laughing. He turned away from his computer.

Edgar noticed her hand and hopped out of her reach, giving her a suspicious glare.

Kera sighed, she looked to Jonathan, her snowy blue eyes watching his features

Jonathan noticed her look, staring back at her timidly.

“Ya alright?”he asked, unsure what else to say.

“ yeah, sorry, “ she apologized and looked away. Kera looked back at Edgar and held her hand out for him.

Jonathan nodded, wondering if he should say something else. Memories of their conversation earlier, the one about their shared childhood, and her comment, nagged at him.

He turned away, exiting out of the game, the main screen of his computer coming on. The background was a picture of outerspace, a black void with spots of light marking each star. A handful of apps were on the side, mainly games like Solitaire and Chess. Jonathan sat there, staring at the screen in indecision, his mind still lingering on all that had recently happened between him and Kera.

Edgar continued to glare for a moment, then slowly approached, appraising her hand. He then gently nibbled on a finger before moving away, heading to Jonathan and nuzzling him.

Jonathan turned, smiling lightly and gently petting Edgar.
