So, I'm glad that some people found out who Mimukara was already. I'm not telling you who it is. But I'm sure most of you know~

Let's get on with it, shall we?

Digital Mask: Part 2

Mimukara's identity was keeping you up last night, and it was bugging the crap out of you. You had gotten off a little while after Mimukara had told you that she had went to one of Velder's schools. Ara tapped you on the shoulder, rousing you from your thoughts.

"[Name], are you okay? You look more tired than usual.."

"No..I'm fine, Ara," you yawned loudly, recieving odd looks from the other students in the halls. "I just..didn't get much sleep last night."

"Oh..wanna stop by the Cafe and see if we can get you some coffee?"

"Actually, that sounds great," you flashed her a tired, forced smile. "Mind if we invite Chung along?"

"Yeah! Of course he can tag along." she grinned. The two of you arrived to class somewhat earlier than usual, and you rested your head on the hard white desk.

Seriously, the desks and chairs in your school are harder than a pornstar's dick. Sorry for my language.

"Are you sure you're okay, [Name]?" Ara nudged you as the other students began to file in to the classroom.

"Yeah..just tired, like I said." you muttered. As soon as Vanessa began talking, you fell asleep.

Then school happened and you got in trouble for sleeping...

You made a content noise when the coffee's warmth spread throughout your body. Chung nudged you.

"Was that a noise of-"

"Finish that sentence, Chung Seiker, and I will kick your testicles so hard your voice will be even higher than usual."

Chung's lips made a 'n' and he let out a 'meep' of fear. You laughed, causing Ara to laugh, which caused Chung to laugh, and caused a chain reaction of laughs that went from you to Elesis to Elsword.

"Hey Ara, mind if I slide in?"

"WHAT?" Ara sat up straight and you busted into another round of laughter. Elsword chuckled.

"I meant if I could sit next to you."

"O-oh! Right.." Ara moved over and Elsword plopped down next to her. Ara hid her red face from his view as much as possible. You almost felt sorry for how embarassed she was.

Almost. If you weren't squealing and shipping it in your head. But you did hate Elsword for being so goddamn dense. Honestly, several girls had crushes on him when you were younger and more nerdy, and he never even noticed. Cue the heartbreak and you thanking god you weren't girly and that you grew up to be an antisocial sarcastic jackass.

But Taro is too. It runs in the family. Or at least, the writer is saying it is.

Chung leaned towards Elsword and muttered something, which made him bust out laughing. He turned to you and you instantly thought:

Fucking shit. Chung you fucking used paperclip. I will end you. You will fear my name.

"So, [Name]! I heard you got a date with Eve," Elsword's grin turned into a smirk. He leaned closer, making his hips touch Ara's, and she was visibly flustered by the contact. "I didn't know she liked you. I guess you're starting to get outside more, huh?"

You wanted to hiss at the very mention of the outdoors. Unlike Ara, you hated anything that wasn't sheltered. No wifi. None at all. It made you want to burst into flames by just thinking about it.

Chung laughed. "Elsword's joking, [Name]. Stop giving him the evil eye."

You blinked. Were you giving him the evil eye? Because you didn't feel like you were. Which makes sense. From what Chung told you, you've always had a grumpy, 'stay the fuck away from me' kind of vibe. You looked away from Elsword and muttered out a 'sorry'. Elsword sat back and glanced at Ara.

"Hey, Ara, are you okay?"

"Yeah! I'm..I'm fine." Ara laughed nervously. For a few minutes, everything was really silent. But, silence for your group of friends=awkward moment. So you decided to break the silence.

"So, who do you think Mimukara is, Chung?"

Chung's eyes lit up. "Oh yeah! That happened, didn't it?"

You sighed. "Chung you dumb shit."

He rolled his eyes. "Shush. Oh, hey, isn't that Eve's sister?" Chung nodded his head at the entrance. A girl who looked like another fucking copy of Eve had walked inside and was chatting with Elesis. Her eyes were cold, and her poker-face was better than Eve's. She glanced at your table, but didn't make an attempt to go greet you. She sat at the table behind you. You, feeling weirdly threatened, decided not to look at her.

But you could feel her eyes burning a hole in your forehead. You slunk into your seat and got closer to Chung, who smiled at you.

"Tired?"

"No, but Eve-Incarnate is staring at like like I'm the Antichrist."

"Don't you mean the Ant-Christ?"

"Shut up Elsword."

Elsword laughed and Ara sighed, nodding at Elesis, who came back with your drinks.

"There you go! Oh, Elsword, you need to get your butt up and help, you know."

He groaned. "But sis.."

"No buts, Elsword. You can hang out with them tomorrow, when you don't work."

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys," Elsword turned to the three of you. "Aisha's working here starting tomorrow."

You stiffened at the mention of the Purple People-Eater. Wait, Purple People-Eater? Am I running out of insults or something? Because that was just fucking terrible. Seriously.

"Aisha?" Ara asked, sipping her tea. "I didn't know she lived around here."

"She does," you said, stirring your hot cocoa. "I went to her house before. Or more like she dragged me there."

"Oh..right. Your game." Elsword laughed, sitting back in his booth.

"So, are we just gonna sit here and talk or can we actually drink?" Chung nudged you, taking a huge swig of his coffee. You rolled your eyes.

Mental Note: Stop by Seighart Cafe tomorrow to bug the fuck out of Aisha.

You sat in the living room, browsing tumblr. Taro wasn't home yet, and you assumed he was hanging out with Add again.

Or he was working. Shocking. But hey, it was one of those days. Taro said something about a shift in the morning, so you were sure he was working. Or he meant shapeshifting, in which case you're pissed that you weren't allowed knowledge of this ability. You could've forced him to go to school as you.

And then you'd watch the chaos unfold from the safety of your pillow fort.

You jumped when a skype message popped up. You sighed in relief upon realizing it was just Eve.

Wait what.

Antisocial Ice Queen: [Name]

[Skype]: Oh hey Eve.

You grimaced at her nickname, and changed it to Evey. Bet that'd piss her off. If she knew. Mental Note 2: Make sure 'Evey' never looks at your skype.

Evey: [Name], was Proto at Seighart Cafe earlier today?

[Skype]: The girl that looks like an older you?

Evey: Yes. That was my sister, Proto. She's...fairly cold to strangers.

[Skype]: Does she like

[Skype]: Want to tear out my organs?

Evey: I don't know. But when your brother came to pick Apple up with Add, she questioned him about your whereabouts.

[Skype]: Dammit Taro.

Evey: Did she say anything to you?

[Skype]: No, why?

Evey: She seemed interested in your friends. Namely the blond one.

[Skype]: Chung? What'd he do?

Evey: She just said he looks familiar, is all.

[Skype]: Okay. So, why'd you message me all of a sudden?

Evey: To ask about Proto.

Evey: Wait

Evey: Taro just came in.

Evey: I'll be right back, I'm going to see what's going on.

You sat there for a while, waiting for Eve to come back. He was probably just dropping off Apple anyways. At least you know he'll be home soon.

Maybe. He might spend the night at Add's. Which you wouldn't mind. Whatever gives you total control over the house for the night you are totally in for.

Evey: I'm back. Taro and Add just left. He said something about spending the night at Add's.

[Skype]: Sweet. Total control over the house.

Evey: Well, I have to go. Thank you for talking with me, [Name].

[Skype]: nooo problem Eve. I'll be on Solace Online if you need me.

You closed skype for a bit before seeing a message pop up. You ignored it for a bit and scrolled through your tumblr until another message popped up. Sighing, you opened up skype again.

Evey: this message has been removed.

Evey: Sorry, I didn't meant to send that to you.

Eve was offline now and you squinted. What exactly did she send to me? Shrugging, you logged onto Solace. Twig and Chung were on, but Mimu was nowhere to be seen.

Kurukitu: Ah, there he/she is.

Twigception: Heyhey Tamo!

Tamoshiru: Sup

Kurukitu: So, did you find out who that girl at the Cafe was?

Tamoshiru: That was Eve's sister, Proto. Or one of her sisters.

Kurukitu: Oh, okay. What about Mimukara's identity?

Twigception: You don't know who Mimu is?

Tamoshiru: Do you know?

Twigception: Yeah, she told me a while ago. We don't go to the same school in Velder.

Kurukitu: You go to Velder schools too?

Twigception: Yup~ Northern Velder Schools.

Your eyes widened. Mimukara didn't go to North, so that only left South Velder. Mimukara goes to your school. Mimukara goes to your school.

Twigception: Why don't we hold a Guild Meetup?

Kurukitu: What's that?

Twigception: We get together outside of the game. As in like, real life.

Tamoshiru: Your parents are okay with that? Because I'm sure Mimu's parents won't be okay with that.

Twigception: She lives with her sister.

Tamoshiru: She what?

Twigception: I've been friends with Mimu since we joined this game together. I can convince her to come.

Kurukitu: When should we hold this Guild Meetup?

Twigception: How about over the weekend? I mean, I've got nothing better to do, so...

Tamoshiru: I'm free.

Kurukitu: As long as it's not on Sunday, I'm good.

Twigception: Then it's settled! We'll meet each other then! Then I guess I should tell you my name, huh? I know [Name] and Mimu..

Kurukitu: Chung.

Twigception: HOLY BALLS IT'S YOU CHUNG!

Kurukitu: What.

Twigception: Rena. I'm Rena.

Kurukitu: RENAAAAA WHAT

You sat there watching Rena and Chung exchange shock and awe over learning that they were in the same guild for over a year and never knew each other's names. Then again, they were never on at the same time, and they almost never talked to each other if they were. You facepalmed.

I'm surrounded by idiots.

Taro sighed as Add beat his ass in Smash Brothers once again, watching Peach fly into space for the umpteenth time. Add grinned, making Pikachu roll on his back. Taro whined.

"But Addy, can't we do something else? I'm hungry.."

"You just ate, moron." Add rolled his eyes. Taro stuck his tongue out at Add, who laughed.

"I don't care! Maybe.." Taro slid closer to Add, winking and whispering in his ear, "you can give me something to drink~?"

Add's face went red and he pushed a laughing Taro away. "Jesus Christ Turdo!"

"EXCUUUSE ME," Taro stood up, z-snapping and flipping what little hair he could. "MY NAME IS TARO OR TURBO. NOT TURDO OR TARDO."

Add just stared at him with that smile that said 'Do I look like I care?' Taro sighed and flopped down next to him, lying his head on his shoulder.

"Now I'm tired from yelling.."

"Maybe you should've slept in. You could've, you know."

"Not during my shift."

"Taro-"

"Nooooooo~" Taro moaned, flopping down across Add's lap. Add tapped his back.

"H-hey, get up. I know you're clingy, but never this clingy."

"But Add, darling, we're meant to be!"

"Oh boy, here we go.."

Taro wrapped his arms around Add and Add squirmed a bit, sighing in defeat.

"Fine, hang on me all you want, but do not go near my crotch."

Taro giggled.

Hours later, Add had fallen asleep, and Taro was slowly opening his eyes. He had fallen asleep on Add, who was snoring pretty loudly. Taro stared at him.

He's not grumpy, when he's asleep.. Taro thought, playing with a stray stand of Add's hair. He moved around, trying to get comfortable again while to tuning out Add's snores.

I'm surprised he fell asleep like this, the moron. Taro smiled. He leaned closer to Add, hesitated, and then planted a shy kiss on his cheek and sighed. I wonder what would've happened if I did that while he was awake.. Taro grinned. I have got to try that. Taro laid his head down on Add's chest and closed his eyes.

WELP. SHIP TEASE. Or maybe the ship has sailed. We'll see.

We'll see.

Anyways, my computer's getting taken away again for the summer so expect VERY. SLOW. UPDATES.

For a while, anyways. So I might go on hiatus for now, but I will be on skype, elsword and LoL during the weekends, if I have time. So look forward to that.
