The Relapse
Takeru entered the apartment and toed off his shoes. He was grateful that Yamato had left the kitchen light on, even if he did seem to take no notice to someone entering his house. He pushed his overnight bag more firmly on his shoulder and walked down the hallway, fully expecting to find Yamato sitting on his bed with his guitar. Upon entering the room, however, there was no sound of guitar strums. Instead, he heard the repeated clicking of the mouse button.
Apprehension filled Takeru. "Yamato, what are you doing?"
"I've got all these missions," Yamato answered cryptically.
"What missions?" Takeru asked, apprehension turning to dread.
"On my Frontier."
In the span of a second, Takeru moved through several emotions. Dread turned to fear. Fear turned to concern. And after several other jumps he finally settled on exasperation. "I thought you gave up Facebook games?"
"I was," said Yamato, eyes never leaving the screen. "But I got invited to this hidden object game. And I figured I could play that one because it didn't harass my friends' list. But then I started getting invitations for this new Pioneer game. I thought I'd take look. I didn't realize it was connected to my Frontier. I went to my Frontier page and I had so many new missions!"
"Yamato," Takeru started.
"I know, I know," Yamato interrupted. "But don't worry; I'm not going to get as involved as last time."
Takeru shook his head. "Yamato, I don't think you can kind of just play these games. You get obsessed."
Yamato snorted. "I'm not a junkie," he said without looking away from the scene.
Takeru had his doubts but he didn't respond. He let his thoughts wander for the next few minutes, until Yamato broke the silence.
"If I send you an invite, will you be my neighbor?"
"No."
"Oh, come on Takeru. You don't have to actually play."
"I am not encouraging your habit."
Yamato finally turned in his chair and frowned at his younger brother. "I'm not an addict."
"That's what every addict says."
The older blonde glared and turned back to the computer screen. Takeru sighed. It looked like he was going to have to plan another intervention.
