A/N: This fic is nothing but disgusting amounts of fluff between two dorks in love, a little drama, but mostly fluff. I hope you all like it. Also, I'd like to thank all 300 of my Tumblr followers! You guys are great!

Knight_of_Light18: What'd you wanna to talk about?

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Nothing important, I just wanted to private chat with you~

Knight_of_Light18: Weirdo :P

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Ouch, you wound me x.x

Knight_of_Light18: It's okay, I'll just heal you 0w

xXVigilanteWolfXx: With a kiss? 3

He has to stop typing. A deep blush spreads across his cheek and down his neck, and dammit if it didn't extend to his ears as well. Why did this guy have to be such a tease? Running a hand through blond locks, he tries to calm himself down enough to answer. Does he say yes? Does he dance around it? Thankfully, he's saved when one of his guild mates request his assistance, and since he is the guild leader he is obligated to help. Typing in a quick apology, he goes about helping the distressed player...but doesn't stop blushing when he see the reply he gets.

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Go get'em tiger 3

Flynn really doesn't know what to do with him. He hadn't expected to be romantically teased when he signed up for this MMO, but then again he actually hadn't expected much of anything. He had been convinced to play when his creative writing teacher noticed how stressed he looked. Flynn would freely admit that he had been overworking himself, but only because he really didn't have anything to take his mind off of things...so he just worked.

Because he lacked a social life, and really had little interest in pursuing one, his teacher suggested online gaming. 'Tales of...' was a rather popular one he'd heard a few people on campus talking about, so he decided to make things easy and go with that one. Flynn was rather pleased to find out that he didn't have to pay for it. The download took about 20 minutes and the installation about 30, and after coming up with a username and password, he set off to do...whatever.

First up was choosing the server he'd be playing on, and since the Vesperia server wasn't as crowded as the rest, the decision was easy. Things became a bit harder when it came to creating his character; there were just too many choices, and after some debate, he decided to make his character look as much like him as he could get it. Minus the glasses. When it came to the tutorial, he was surprised to learn that there wasn't a class system.

The game was set up so the player could play however they wanted, having them choose from a long list of skills as well as a growth chart that could easily be customized at will. It was a bit more complicated than he originally thought it would be, but after a week, he managed to get the hang of it. After a month, he decided he'd join a guild, because he not only would reactive more experience points but, well, he figured he'd start talking to people.

He actually hadn't expected his application to one of the biggest guilds to be accepted, having heard that the Imperial Knights were somewhat selective. For the most part a good his fellow guild mates were kind, helping him out when he needed it and asking him to come along on raids for boss monsters. Of course, he did have to prove himself on more than one occasion, and it was during one of his 'missions' that he met a certain someone. Flynn had been given the task to solo a low-level boss monster, which at first didn't seem like that much of a hassle.

What his guild mates had failed to tell him was that said boss monster dwelled in the lair of a much stronger boss. It had taken him 30 minutes to beat the lower level boss, so when the stronger one showed up he was completely out of healing potions and his MP was spent. Hell, he couldn't even use a teleportation item to get himself out of there. While contemplating his options, he received a random party invite from a screen name he had never seen before.

Needless to say, Flynn didn't question it too much and accepted it.

Upon accepting, he was given a number of healing items, and as he took them, the player he had partied with sprang into action. For the most part Flynn served as backup, attacking when he felt comfortable and healing when necessary. Flynn was complete captivated by the moves of the other player, their swift movements easily dodging the boss monster's attacks. Flynn almost died a few times because his attention was on the player and not the monster.

It had taken a full hour to take down the boss, and once done Flynn thanked the player profusely for helping him. The player just waved him off, adding that he was merely 'helping out a fellow guildie'. Granted he had never met all of the people in his guild, but Flynn had never seen such a screen name appear in the roster before...Confused, he pulled the player's info up and was rather surprised to find that they were indeed correct. To a certain extent.

Guild: Brave Vesperia

Sister Guild to: Imperial Knights

It takes that meeting for Flynn to figure out that their guild was affiliated with other guilds. The two of them didn't talk much since they were in a boss' den and the respawn could happen at any time, but once out Flynn finds himself awkwardly asking if he could add the player to his friends list. He hadn't really invested in friends while playing the game, other than the people in his guild. When he gets a yes, Flynn quickly adds them. As he stared at the sole name in his friends list, a sudden wave of inadequacy washed over him.

A strong player had saved him and there wasn't a thing he could do to repay them...and that made him uncomfortable. From that point on, Flynn made it his mission to get stronger so he could do something for the person who had saved him. When not taking classes or working, Flynn was hard at work leveling his character up. He added new skills and took on the harder quests, though he's wasn't so ambitious that he took on things he couldn't handle alone.

He usually partied with his own guild mates if they had the time, but if not he asked people from the Brave Vesperia to help him out. It was a small guild, though despite this they always seemed to take on the strongest bosses without the help from the Imperial Knights. Flynn found that he had a lot of fun with the very talkative bunch, though he particularly liked talking with xXVigilanteWolfXx, the person who had saved him.

It felt strange giving out his real name to people he didn't know in person, but he figured telling them his first name wouldn't get himself in too much trouble. The person who had saved him was named Yuri, and apparently, the two of them lived in the same city. It was an interesting fact, but given that their city was so large, the odds of that happen weren't low. Yuri had also told him that he was still in high school, and Flynn was a little jealous that someone younger than him was such a great player.

They'd private chat rather often, and the two of them would go so far as to comfort one another if they were having a bad day. Yuri starts to flirt with him after three months, and at first, Flynn is completely taken aback by it. He had noticed that the other player like to tease his guild mates, but the kind of flirting Yuri did with him is completely different from everything else. He had to stop him one day, asking the younger boy point blank just what his intentions where.

Flynn didn't want to be jerked around...he had come to play an MMO, not be played himself.

It had taken a few days, but when Yuri confessed to him Flynn was hit with both confusion and embarrassment. He really didn't understand how anyone could fall in love without meeting in person...and what really threw him for a loop was the fact that someone had fallen for him. Flynn quite honestly thought he was the most boring person in the world; his upbringing had been so normal, so absolutely boring that he believed he couldn't offer anything to anyone.

Yuri had laughed at him for saying such things. The blond would've been mad if not for the other player's explanation; Yuri claimed that he didn't care how boring he was, that he had fallen for him not because he had the most interesting life, but because Flynn had listened to him when he had opened up and not judged him. This had apparently made Yuri feel wanted. It takes his guild mate's confession to really get him thinking about just what Yuri was to him.

For the most part, Yuri was a really great guy, one who was never afraid to speak his mind, who always helped other players when asked, who made him laugh and...and...Talking to Yuri always made his day better. It had taken six months for Flynn to come to that conclusion, and he had been so nervous upon telling Yuri. The younger boy had just laughed at him, adding that he'd 'kiss him if he could'. Yuri always knew how to make him blush, and it didn't help that Flynn himself was a terrible flirt, so he couldn't even counter anything his guild mate said.

A year later Flynn is promoted to guild leader for the Imperial Knights, something that had come as a complete shock to him. The previous guild leader had apparently hit the level limit a while ago, and since they needed to focus on real life responsibilities, it made sense that they'd turn over the reins to someone else. The blond was actually voted into the position by a huge majority of the guild; not only did they say he was the most capable for the position, but they thought he was probably the least likely to abuse his position of power.

There wasn't any big ceremony for becoming the next guild leader, in fact Flynn just woke up the following day and the title was his, along with all of the previous leaders gear. He did, however, received a gift from a certain someone that had caused him to stare at his screen for a good while. Yuri had sent him his phone number. He had never gripped his cellphone so tightly, had never shaken so badly in his life and had never felt so much anxiety from typing in someone's number.

He actually hadn't called Yuri immediately...or at all for that matter. Flynn couldn't bring himself to actually call his guild mater, but felt that completely ignoring the fact that Yuri had given him his number would only lead to bad things. So he texted him instead. As soon as he heard his phone buzz, the blond quickly picked up, the two of them engaging in an conversation that lasted hours. Flynn had never been so pleased while staring at his cellphone screen.

Knight_of_Light18: Back

xXVigilanteWolfXx: That was quick, though I'm not complaining ~

Knight_of_Light18: It was nothing hard. You could've come

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Nah, if I went then I couldn't monopolize you 30

And Flynn has to stop typing again. He has to think about his response again, though this time he decides to try playing the flirt again. Even if he sucks at it, he actually likes to flirt with Yuri. The mere thought of the younger player blushing at his words makes him feel excited...or at least he hopes the boy is blushing and not laughing at him. Flynn actually does a decent job for a while, though as usual Yuri teases him to no end.

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Oh Flynn, you're so smooth I can barely stand it! *faints*

Knight_of_Light18: The sarcasm is strong with this one...

xXVigilanteWolfXx: lol

Okay, so maybe he wasn't blushing on the other end, but at least he's making Yuri laugh.

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Hey, can I ask you something?

Knight_of_Light18: Of course you can

xXVigilanteWolfXx: Well...I've having a pretty shitty day, so...can I call you? I know we usually just text, but...I wanna talk to you.

Flynn's hands are shaking. The blond expected this development at some point, after all what was the point of having a phone if not to call people? But to actually have it happen causes him to become a wreck. His fingers move across the keyboard slowly, though he has to correct himself more than once because his shaking fingers keep hitting the wrong keys.

Knight_of_Light18: Sure, I don't mind if you vall

Knight_of_Light18: *call

Sitting back in his chair, Flynn slides his glasses back to their rightful place with his middle and index fingers, his left leg tapping against the flood impatiently. He needs to calm down; sure he's about to get a call from a guy he's never met before, a guy who has a crush on him and likes him enough to confide in him and...This is not helping. With a small groan, he runs his fingers through his hair, wondering all the while just how all of this is going to go.

The 'what if' questions race through his mind so much that his head begins to hurt, and he really can't believe he's getting so bent out of shape over one person. Well...it wasn't just any person. It seems wrong to compare Yuri to other people, especially since they were technically dating. When his phone actually rings, Flynn scrambles to grab it only to have his hand bump it hard instead.

He tries to catch it before it hits the ground, fingers fumbling to grip the damnable thing as a few curses slip out of his mouth. He knows it's a bit silly to dive for his phone, but he does anyways, body moving quickly to go for it. Flynn rolls on the ground twice, the blond lying flat on his back as he answers his still ringing phone.

"H-Hello?" Flynn stutters a bit, heart pounding against his chest from his ridiculous exertion and nerves.

"Hey...are you okay? You sound winded."

Oh, god...Yuri has a really nice voice.

"I, uh..." The blond is briefly stunned from hearing the voice of the other male, "Stuff happened, I'm fine."

"Ah...you want me call back in a few minutes so you can finish? It sound like I interrupted something..." There's an amused tone to Yuri's voice, and even if he knows it's a joke, Flynn still blushes.

"Ha, ha, very funny, Yuri...So, um...what's up?" Flynn doesn't want to get too off track, since Yuri had actually called him for a reason.

There's a long sigh on the other end of the phone followed by the sound of something shuffling, and as Flynn waits for Yuri to say something he props himself against his bed. When he hears the words 'my father' come from the other's lips, the blond feels his stomach knot a bit. From what Yuri has told him, he and his father have a terrible relationship. Flynn isn't sure why this is, but he figures since it's a family issue it's better for him to not pry too much.

"Did you two get into an argument again?" Flynn felt even worse when he hears the other boy groan a bit, meaning he has hit the nail right on the head.

"I couldn't sleep last night, so I went out and bought myself something that'd knock me out. My dad caught me and pitched a fit, said I was 'banging some chick' and that I needed to 'stop whoring myself around'. "

Ouch...that was harsh. Flynn listens on as Yuri tell him about the hour-long argument he and his father had last night, and all the while the blond can't help but become slightly uncomfortable. Even if he's known Yuri for a year, Flynn has to wonder how he can be so open with someone he's never seen in person.

"I'm moving out after I graduate, which should be next year if I don't flunk English." Yuri gives out a small sigh on the other end of the phone, "I don't suck at it or anything, it's just my first period so I end up falling asleep most of the time."

"I see...If you don't mind me asking...are you really okay with telling me all this? I mean..." He's not really sure how to phrase it, but Flynn feels the need to ask even if he can't quite get his point across.

"Hm..." There's silence on the other end of the line, and Flynn is truly afraid that the other boy has withdrawn from him, "If I can't open up to my boyfriend, who else can I open up to?"

Flynn is too stunned to catch the phone that slips from his hand. It's one thing to see the word 'boyfriend' typed out on his computer or phone screen, but it's a completely different matter when it's said to him. It makes the fact that he's actually dating all the more real, that this isn't just some kind of made up, internet thing. He snaps out of his daze when he hears Yuri's muffled voice on his phone, the blond quickly retrieving his phone and praying he doesn't sound like a complete dork.

"Hey, are you still there?" Yuri sounds a bit concerned, and he really can't blame him..

"Y-Yeah, sorry, I've just never had anyone actually call me their boyfriend." Yeah, his plan had failed, but being honest just seems like the right thing to do.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, I've never dated anyone before either." Yuri chuckles a bit, and oh god...he has a really nice laugh too.

"That does make he feel less awkward.

"I never thought of you as the awkward type."

"Only when I talk to you." Flynn smiles when Yuri laughs again, wondering what the other boy looks like when he does so.

"Hey, um..." The amused tone in the boy's voice all but drops as Flynn hears something shift on the other side of the line, "Thanks for letting me rant a bit. I mean, listening to the woes of a high school brat probably wasn't the highlight of your day-"

"No, it..." Flynn takes a deep breath and tries to keep how giddy he feels under control, though the smile on his face never leaves, "It was, really. I really like talking to you, a-and...you have a really nice voice."

"...Really...? Well...you have a nice voice too."

A silence follows, but Flynn can at least tell that it's a comfortable one. He really is glad that Yuri called him, that Yuri trusts him enough to confide in him. It makes his chest tighten, but it isn't painful. It's the kind of feeling he can't easily describe because it's the first time he's feeling, and...Crap...he's really head-over-heels for the guy...

"Ah, I gotta go, my dad is calling me for god knows what. Can I...call you later on?"

"Of course you can. You can call me whenever you want, I mean, just not when I'm working on in class."

"Thanks...and the same goes for you, Mr. College Student. Catch ya later."

"Later."

Flynn's stomach churns a bit when the call drops, but with the promise of future calls, his discouraged state doesn't last long.
