Y/N's POV:

Today was June 5th, 2020. Crazy ass year it's been so far only six months into the year and so much chaos has happen world wide and boy did you say goodbye to the rest of your school year and summer break. As you lay on your twin bed and scroll through your phone for the 100th time today avoiding weeks old homework and today's chores seeing the most recent article and news on the BLM movement, angry at what the world has come to and how ignorant some people can be about the justice system.

"Fuck the damn cops, he didn't deserve this.." you roll your eyes seeing George Floyd's sickening video for the 5th time this week. It's not that the video isn't be shared enough, You definitely knew it was everywhere on every social media platform you've got in existence, but you hated, hated, seeing the video know how much it angers you that situations like that happen everyday but a lot of people including you wouldn't hear about it enough thanks to social media blocking out certain news to the people. It's sick and you along with millions of others were tired of it. You being only 18 and living with your parents, you could do a lot to help out right at home. You tried attending a protest but it got shut down early due to assholes who wanted to ruin it and riot, that being the only thing you could to help would be to sign petitions and donate money.

Frank Ocean plays in the background from your laptop as you turn off your phone hearing the lock click finally getting out of bed getting ready for another day staying in at home thanks to Covid-19. Quickly grabbing a towel and new set of comfortable clothes being sweat short and a sports bra, you head to the bathroom where you brush your teeth and head into the shower. Feeling the very warm water almost burning your skin, but that's how you liked it, almost as if you always went by the joke saying "A meal has to heat up somehow". You smile to yourself at the thought of that direct quote you saw on twitter as you let the water soak into your dry but now wet hair. You always tend to get carried away by the comfort of the warm water making you feel good which always resulted in wasting a lot of water and where you lived, water was not cheap. Snapping out of your thoughts you reach for the shaving cream and apply it onto the desired area quickly before you got into trouble for staying in for too long. You always hated hair anywhere on your body that was not above your eye, on your eyelid, or on top of your head. Almost being done shaving, you're startled by loud bangs at the bathroom door knowing who it was coming from.

"Get out!!" your dad yells. "Hold on!" you argued back over the loud water pouring over your cleanly shaven nude body. Rinsing yourself off as the final touches, you reach for the handle after applying shampoo, conditioner, and unscented Dove soap on yourself knowing that fragrance isn't really the best sometimes. Heading back into your room you check your phone as you're still naked but wrapped in a black towel. You noticed you got a snapchat notification from your good friend, Y/F/N"I'm logging on Fortnite now" you read as her bitmoji leaves the chat. You get excited knowing that you're going to play your favorite game with your favorite friends. What more could you ask for? This was apart of your everyday routine but it never got old, that's how you've been leveling up so fast the past two weeks, hours everyday on the game getting victory royales here and there. You smile big as you quickly locked your phone throwing the towel off your body and putting on your new set of clean comfortable clothes. Turning on your switch you check the time reading that it's currently 1:03pm. You always tend to wake up late after staying up all night everyday until 5am.

You click the Fortnite option on your switch device hearing the iconic 'click' noise that is made when you make a game selection. You preferred the switch device because that's how you started off playing Fortnite, but on your cousins, not yours. After getting your own, Fortnite was one of the first games your immediately downloaded. You knew people thought it was weird, but it was like playing on a Nintendo DS, but bigger and modified! So you never saw the issues, you were good anyways so no one could talk down to you since you knew you were probably better than the people talking shit.

Finally getting to the lobby screen you quickly scan to see what's in the item shop, nothing to your interest. "Y/F/Uinvited you to their party (+)" you read at the top left of your small screen device. Clicking 'join party' you immediately started yelling weird noises and gibberish at your friend as you usually would.

"Fuck you bitch!" Y/F/N cusses at you in response. As you giggled you knew this was normal, cussing at each other and talking shit. It was all jokes and we knew to not take it too far but that's how your guys' friendship worked along with your other friend, Y/F/N who also always played with you guys. You noticed she wasn't in the lobby.

"Where's Y/F/N?"you asked. You knew she was probably most likely slowly logging in but you still asked to be sure.

"She just texted me. She told me to invite her." Y/F/N told you as you read 'Y/F/U has joined your party' immediately hearing screaming followed along with her laughter. That was our cue to ready up. It was always the three of you guys playing. Sometimes you'd have another friend join but it wasn't too often so your friends always made sure to select the 'Fill' option to get a random fourth person to help.

Two games went by and you guys lost both. First game placing 8th, second game placing 3rd. You brushed it off telling your two friends "It's okay! Those were just warm ups, third times a charm." Knowing you were probably wrong but hey, have some faith in the squad will ya? As you guys clicked 'Ready up' for your next game you noticed that you were spectating a skin you haven't seen around too often. It was a tall skinny male who dressed very nice to your liking, nothing like the other crazily themed or dressed skins you'd see in the item shop. Next thing you knew you were on the island waiting for the next math. You check the top left of the screen seeing who was going to be your fourth teammate where you noticed it was someone in the skin you had noticed 5 seconds ago! You quickly looked for them to get a closer look. Running towards them you saw how...beautiful it was. No! That's crazy...and weird! That's a fortnite skin you're talking about, someone not even real to begin with. You knew you were attracted though feeling weird how it could be a 10 year old behind the screen of that player. You shake your head ignoring it, knowing that after you were done playing, you'd do your research on this skin.

"Ugh I want a new skin!" Y/F/N complains landing on top of a yellow house at lazy lake. "Same." you bluntly agree with the girl. Your skin is Envoy, definitely your favorite at the moment. She looks cool with her short turquoise hair tucked behind her right ear her as her small cute shade rest on the bridge of her nose. You got her not too long ago being tired of being the only friend playing in a default skin at level 89.

"I want the Midas skin" Y/F/N announces. "Who's Midas?" you questioned not knowing she knew her Fortnite characters. Let's get this straight; you may have loved playing Fortnite everyday, but you never cared to do your research since all you cared about was playing to eliminate other teams. You didn't even know there was a whole storyline. "He's the skin that our teammate is. He's so badass." Knowing your friend you knew by 'badass' she meant 'fine as fuck' or 'hot' but you didn't say anything. "Ohh yeah, he's cool, I'd want him as a skin too." you agreed with the follow up question; "Can't you only get him if you have the battle pass?" for someone who didn't their shit on Fortnite, you at least knew how that work. "Yeah but he's tier 100 and I'm only level 68" ...

'Tier 100' you thought to yourself.

"that means you can only get him once you reach level 100." Y/F/N finished her sentence. She only got the battle pass because she wanted to be the banana who turned out to be 'Agent Peely'. "That's cool, I didn't even know what his name was, I just noticed him as the guys with gold hands who dressed really nice with his cool ass tattoos." You admitted. "He's the the guy with the gold gun at the agency." your friend reminded you. You then realized how much you have not paid attention to Fortnite.

Later on after hopping off with the girls you decided to get ready for the night getting comfortable in bed. You sat back on your phone remembering about a skin in fortnite you were interested in. You couldn't put your finger on his name and you were too embarrassed of asking your friends what his name was knowing that they'd wonder why you would wanna know so bad. Pulling up safari on your phone you clicked on the tab typing in 'gold hands fortnite' hearing the keyboard clicking as you type. You felt weird and embarrassed that you were looking up a character from a kids game. Nothing really came up. Just pictures of the game and a gold handprint, but that didn't give you enough information, and you were also too busy to click on it and read more about it. That was until you came across a video of the Fortnite chapter 2 season 2 battle pass trailer. Watching it you noticed that it came out in February which was some time ago not too long ago but also not too recent. "Midas, a mastermind with a golden touch." the lady with the accent informed as the handsome man rested his hands on the table leaning forward looking above the camera as you read the rectangle on the bottom left;

MIDAS

NET WORTH: ALL OF IT

SIGNATURE MOVE: WRAP IT IN GOLD

"That's his name!" You exclaimed to yourself scaring your sleeping dog. "Whoops sorry Y/D/N.." you whispered petting her. You were fast as ever to excitedly pull up a new tab on safari to look up his name clicking 'search'. There you saw what you've been looking for, hundreds of links and pictures to this mysterious and handsome man you've been thinking about since you've recently landed your eyes on. You've definitely noticed him before and noticed that he's better looking than other male skins you've seen but recently for some odd reason, you've grown an attraction to him.

'this is so stupid oh my god' you thought to yourself throwing your head back with your hands covering your face. 'This guy doesn't even exist like shut the fuck Y/N you're too young for his old ass anyways'

After that night you decided to forget about your small crush on a damn skin that doesn't even talk, other than gibberish that is. You didn't even know shit about Fortnite and the storyline, for all you know this Midas guy could be the evil villain in the game. The season is coming to an end anyways.

Just forget about it.
