Snoring soundly in bed, Takemichi was comfortably in bed before he realized he wasn't the one snoring. His eyes shot wide open, staring up at the ceiling. His parents weren't present in Japan and he definitely didn't have a sibling. Now that all consciousness was returning to him a body laid beside him under the same covers as him.
"Ahhhh!" Takemichi yells falling out of bed and landing on his back.
The intruder wakes up out of their sleep and sits up, frantically looking around until its dark eyes lay upon Takemichi's frantic blue-eyed ones. "Hey! It's you!" the intruder smiles at Takemichi.
"M-M-Mikey?!" Takemichi stutters. He was in honest disbelief. He must be dreaming. There was no way the avatar on his phone was now sitting in his bed.
"Hey, creator. I'm Mikey. You made me. What're we doing today?"
"H-how are you h-here?! T-this can't be! This is all just a dream." Takemichi mutters to himself and tries to pinch himself to wake up from this nightmare.
"Looks like someone didn't read their terms and conditions." Mikey blows his hair from falling in front of his face. "Mah, that doesn't matter. I'm here in the world of the living." Mikey gets out of bed.
Takemichi scoots away from him and reaches for his phone.
"No, no, no! Don't delete the app! You'll make me disappear!" Mikey suddenly begs.
"Why shouldn't I? Y-y-your a freak!"
"Well, I'm not so bad looking considering you made me." Mikey looks at his reflection in a nearby mirror.
"Not your looks! You're not human! You don't belong here!" Takemichi's hands tremble as he unlocks his phone. The digital clock on the nightstand flashed seven o'clock.
"Please creator! Don't send me back! I haven't explored the world of living yet!" Mikey whines.
"My name is Takemichi, not creator."
"You are my creator."
"I'm Takemichi."
"Creator."
"It's Takemichi."
" R."
"It's Takemichi damn it!" Takemichi furrows his brows at the nuisance of whatever he's looking at.
"Takemitchy."
"It's-" Takemichi sighs, "forget it." he gets up and eyes Mikey.
"What is it? Is there something on my human skin?" Mikey touches his face.
"What are you?" Takemichi squints his eyes studying Mikey.
"An avatar you created several hours ago. I came to life around five o'clock. We always do."
"Who is we?"
"The other avatars of course. I'm not the only avatar that came to life. There are loads of us around the world contributing to the human population. After we're created in the game we come to life at five o'clock am or pm. Depending on what time of the day you create us and because you created me at night, I came to life five o'clock in the morning." Mikey informs him.
Takemichi was flabbergasted by hearing all of this. There were more like Mikey all over the world disguised as humans?! That's preposterous! This has to be a dream. "And you're here because of a stupid app?" Takemichi scoffs.
"Yes. In the terms and conditions, it says all of this in the terms and conditions."
"Well, I wasn't going to read four pages of terms and conditions before signing. Literally, no one does that."
"That explains why there are a lot of us in the living world."
"Yeah well, I'm doing the world a small favor." Takemichi scrolls through his phone and goes to the app he downloaded yesterday. Holding down on the app it starts to vibrate, just as he was about to delete it he heard an awful crying howling noise and raises his head.
"What're you doing?" Takemichi cocks a brow, questioning Mikey.
"I'm crying. This is how you humans do it right?"
"Quit it! You'll wake my neighbors!" Takemichi reprimands him.
"Please creator, give me one month to explore the world of the living, I promise then you can do whatever you want with the app afterward," Mikey begs one last time.
Takemichi watches as Mikey does his best to mimic human crying. His face with no emotion yet his mouth wailing as if he was really crying. Taking one last look at the app, he stops the app from vibrating and keeps it on his phone. "This stupid app is taking up a lot of my storage you know," he grumbles, scratching his head.
"I'll make the short storage worth it! Thank you for saving my life creator! What should we do today?" Mikey beams at him with a smile.
"You'll do nothing. I'm going to school." Takemichi cautiously walks past Mikey and into the bathroom to take a shower for school.
Mikey stood alone in the bedroom of his creator, he takes a look around the room examining it as it was when he first arrived. Looking out the window, the sky was much brighter than before. Everything was much prettier in daylight. The smile on his lips was permanent as he gazes out the window looking at the outside world. He couldn't wait to explore the world with his creator.
After several minutes of waiting on his creator, the door finally opened. Takemichi walks out in a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Are you wearing that to school?" Mikey asks curiously.
"I would never, It's a towel. I just came out of the bathroom."
"Do I need to use the bathroom too?"
"No, I don't think so...are you waterproof?" Takemichi asks him.
"Hm, I would think so. I have human skin after all." Mikey tugs at his skin.
Takemichi watches as Mikey plays with his 'human skin' before taking out a pair of underwear to wear underneath his towel. Whilst his back was turned he hadn't realized Mikey had swiftly moved and dropped his towel. "W-what the hell Mikey?!" Takemichi covers his private area, face reddening with embarrassment.
"That's what a human male looks like," Mikey speaks to himself.
"Y-yes! Now don't do that again! Don't you have your own penis to look at?" Takemichi turns around and slips on his underwear.
Penis? The avatar questions, "Actually…" Mikey slips his pants off to reveal underneath. Takemichi covers his eyes, embarrassed by Mikey's boldness. "You can take a look creator, there's nothing there."
Peeking through his fingers Takemichi takes a peek. Mikey was right. There was nothing there. "Okay, okay I get it. Can you pull up your pants now?"
In a swift motion, Mikey pulls up his pants. "I don't have a penis. Like you humans. Can you show me what it does? It looks uncomfortable."
"N-no! stop asking me weird things!" Takemichi answers with a deep red face.
