A/N: the prompt for this was written by noeybodys on tumblr and was written as follows: "maybe one day Zen finds MC in his dream, buried under hourglasses and not like her usual self at all."
(DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. I'm just a lame nerd that likes writing fanfictions and playing on my phone.)
Zen jolted awake, cold sweat making his shirt stick to his skin.
A mountain of hourglasses.
He breathed in.
It was an ocean, dragging innocents underneath.
He breathed out.
And underneath…
He breathed in.
Was a small feminine figure. Her face was overwhelmed with shock.
Breathed out.
Her hand outstretched past the waves of hourglasses, trying to coax oxygen closer.
Grabbed his phone from the bedside table.
The brunette was pulled deeper and deeper under the glass waves.
Swiped his finger in an elaborate pattern to unlock it.
Her last words still rang through his ears.
He tapped the Messenger App.
"Don't make me choose!" She begged to no one in particular as she was finally forced to succumb to the crystal ocean.
Logged on.

[ZEN has left the chatroom.]
MC stared at her phone, blankly.
She sighed, and shook her head.
"It's just a game, MC. It's just a game."
Just a game.
