《Hotshot? ~{Tomboo}~》~{Chapter 13}~

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my hips. I was just about to walk out and to my room, but Tommy is in there.
"Dad! Can you get me clothes!?" I yelled loud enough for him to hear me.
"Yeah!" He yelled.
I sighed, "Thank god."
I heard Ranboo yell something, but I couldn't tell exactly what.
Then his dad walked in and I sat up, "Hello."
"Hey Tommy. I was just gonna grab Mark some clothes." He smiled.
I laughed, "Oh! Did he forget?"
He chuckled, "It would appear so."
He went through the drawers and pulled out some clothes. I stood up, "I can give them to him."
He raised an eyebrow, "You sure?"
I nodded, "Mhmm."
He handed me the clothes, "Alright."
He led me to the bathroom, "Tell Mark to come to the table to eat afterwards, okay?"
"Ofcourse." I smiled.
He walked away and I knocked. Ranboo opened the door. Towel wrapped around his waist, bare chested and nice abs, "Thanks da-" He shut the door, "Tommy!?"
I blushed brightly, "I have your clothes."
"Just leave them on the floor." He sounded nervous.
"Don't you change infront of your teammates at practice?" I asked.
"That's different." He replied.
"Why?" I asked.
"Cause I don't have a crush on any of them." He said embarrassed.
I was confused, "So you rather them see you naked then your crush?"
"What?! No! It's just more embarrassing and nerve wracking when you do." He replied.
I giggled, "Fair enough."
I set his clothes down infront of the door and walked away to his room.
I sat down on his bed and pulled out my phone. I had a couple texts from Wilbur. Probably wondering where I was. I just ignored it for now and put my phone away.
Ranboo walked in wet hair, tight white tee shirt that faintly showed his abs, and black sweats, "You hungry?"
I flushed light pink, "Uhm yeah."
"What's wrong?" He asked and sat down beside me.
I cleared my throat, "Nothing."

He sighed, "Do you mind having dinner with my father?"
"No." I smiled.
He stretched his arms up in the air and his shirt lifted. I couldn't help, but look. I bit my lip and blushed brighter.
And ofcourse, he noticed, "Your staring."
I looked up at his face, "No I wasn't."
He chuckled, "Like what you see?"
I touched my lips.
He didn't even hesitate. He kissed me gently and I kissed back. When we pulled away I replied, "Yeah."
He smirked, "Y'know, I can show you it all if you just tell me you like me."
"Your hot. I like to have fun with you, but I don't like you." I said and stood up, "Now c'mon. Your dad must be waiting."
"Tommy?" He asked.
"Mhmm." I hummed.
"Don't you think its fair for me to touch you when we're in private?" He asked.
I blushed, "Ranboo!"
He shrugged, "What?! It's just a question."
I rolled my eyes, "Let's talk about this after we eat, yeah?"
He stood up smiling, "Kay."
We were not talking about that after we ate-
We walked out of the room and into the kitchen. There was a small round table with four chairs. I sat down and Tommy sat beside me.
My dad brought food to the table and then sat down beside me.
"Are we gonna wait for your mom?" Tommy asked.
I sharply inhaled, "Uh-...."
I teared up. I couldn't cry infront of Tommy- I ran to the restroom and locked myself inside. I quietly cried into my hands.
Ranboo ran off with watery eyes. I looked to his father, "Did I say something wrong?"
He cleared his throat, "No Tommy. But uhm- his mother- er well his other parent, was a guy. He has two dads....and uhm- my husband he uh.....is dead."
I got tense, "I- I didn't know! We only just began to get to know each other an-"
"It's alright....it's just a sensitive topic." The man smiled.
It seemed he was always smiling.....even though he wasn't exactly happy at the moment.
I stood up, "I'm gonna-"

"Mark will be fine. He just needs a little time to breath." He tried reassuring me.
"Oh, I'm not worried. I just...want to make sure he's okay." I said.
"That sounds the same as being worried." He chuckled.
I shrugged, "Well then I guess I am worried."
He smiled again and I walked off to the restroom.
I knocked on the door, "Ranboo? Can I come in please?"
I heard the door get unlocked and I opened it to see him wiping his face. I hugged him tightly, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know and I'm so very sorry if memories resurfaced- I just want to make sure your okay."
He chuckled, "Were you worried about me?"
I cupped his face, "Never."
He frowned, "Meanie."
I sighed, "But seriously....I'm sorry."
He smiled, "I really like you Tommy."
I blushed, "Stop it. Now let's go back."
He kissed me and I pulled away, "Ranboo!"
He chuckled, "I want to be all over you."
"Shut up!" I yelled and slapped his arm.
He grabbed my hand and kissed it, "Thanks for coming to check on me."
"Mhmm." He hummed, "Now let's go."
He held my hand and we walked back to the table. I let go of his hand and we sat back down.
"Are you okay Mark?" His dad asked him.
Ranboo blushed, "Dad! Don't call me that while he's here."
"Don't call you what?" He asked.
"My first name."
I giggled, "Why not? Its just your name."
"Yeah. Losen up Mark." His dad laughed.
I laughed too and Ranboo rolled his eyes.
We began to eat and then his dad asked me, "So Tommy. Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Yeah he does." Ranboo grumbled and glared at me.
I awkwardly laughed, "Yeah well....I don't really like her anymore."
Ranboo smiled, "Your gonna break up with her?!"
I laughed, "Stop sounding so eager."
He rolled his eyes, "The sooner your single, the sooner you'll be taken- by me."
I blushed, "I already told you. It's not gonna happen."
He scoffed, "But we just-"
"Ranboo!" I cut him off.
His father raised an eyebrow, "You just what?"
I glared at Ranboo as he replied, "Hugged."
His father nodded confused, "Well, moving on. Could you tell me a little about yourself, Tommy?"
Ranboo glared at him, "He doesn't ha-"
"I'm not sure there's much, but I have 2 older brothers and....uh- I dunno." I said nervously.
"How's home life?" He asked.
"Dad! Seriously?" Ranboo said upset.
"Uhm...hone life is good?" I replied confused.
Ranboo sighed, "His parents are wealthy. But Tommy isn't a snobby rich kid."
His dad nodded, "So your parents together?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
"Nice." He replied.
We ate in awkward silence.
"So...what do you like about Mark- er- Ranboo?" He asked randomly.
I awkwardly laughed, "Uh-"
"Dad he doesn't like me like that!" Ranboo said upset and uncomfortable.
"I know, I was just asking like- friend wise." His father shrugged.
"Uhm...it's complicated." I replied.
"What is?" He asked.
"Alright, that's enough questions." Ranboo sighed and grabbed my hand, "You done eating?"
"Uh-....yes?" I replied.
"Good. We're gonna go now, bye." Ranboo siad and stood up.
"Mark." His father said sternly.
"Yes dad?" He replied.
"Tommy go to Mark's room. I need to talk to him." He said only looking at Ranboo.
I nodded and let go of Ranboo's hand. I walked to his room and sat down on the bed, waiting for him.
Tommy left to my room. I sat back down, "Dad c'mon. He's the first person I've ever brought here, and you storm his with loads of questions?"
"Your falling for him pretty fast. The other girls you were with never came to the house. And I met them each once, briefly." He sighed, "You brought him here, so he must be important. I can't help but ask questions....I want to know why you like him so much."
"I understand."
"Good, now ask him I'd he needs a ride home." My father smiled.
I nodded, "Kay."

Fall of a Civilization - Modern Apocalypse
Today was an ordinary day. The same day as every day. The start of a monotonous day for some while being an exciting one for others. Today was supposed to be the latter for me. My first day in an abroad country, coming here for my studies. But everything changed when the world started spewing monstrosities, abhorrent creatures, and powers. This is the story following Rudy, who gets trapped in a foreign country when the world decided to metaphorically flip its table. If the [horror] tag didn't already tell you, this story tries to give more focus to the monsters than other Litrpg's and also intends to have a much more serious tone. My writing may be sub-par as I am a starting writer, but I promise to strive and improve as I keep writing along with your feedback and response. Updates will be at every 3 days.

Don't Come Inside, Okay?
Lars Cromwell just got dumped by his girlfriend of 3 months, apparently because she found someone better. Although the normal man would have been bummed out by this, Lars didn't particularly mind. Because Lars just won the lottery, which meant he was about a billion dollars richer now. And he had one less person to share it with! Even if he was single, at least he was filthy stinking rich! In any case, this is Lars' story. A story that begins just like how many others do. With his death. Join Lars as he reincarnates into another world as his Avatar together with his favorite game's Dungeon and it's NPCs! = This Work is on an indefinite Hiatus. I do not know when I'll get back to this, but I plan to rewrite a bunch of stuff when I do. If you liked this, keep following it so that I can inform you of when I improve this! = Hello, I'm Lire, and this is my 2nd fiction. I recently got into the whole dungeon thing, and thought that I wanted to write one of my own! Chapter Length: 2000+ Words. It can only be more, never less. Chapter Release Schedule: Whenever I can write. I am juggling this with my main Fiction, so yeah... Disclaimer: - Don't expect much statistical growth from the MC. Although I plan for him to refine his techniques and increase his repertoire. - You can guess from the name, but there will not be too much action in the dungeon itself. Plus, the dungeon has been fully built, so not too many things will be added either. The whole idea is to kill potential intruders before they enter the Dungeon. - This will be more like a Kingdom building story, than a Dungeon Building one. MC will try to dominate his surroundings so that he can keep his Dungeon safe. - There will be Slice of life elements, since realistically speaking, events aren't supposed to happen all the time. - This work is inspired, to a certain extent, by Murayama-sama's Overlord Light novel. Minus the 'emotionless' undead MC, and the premise of misunderstandings. The NPCs will also be aware that they were characters in a game, that came to life for some reason, so no need for MC to role-play to pull the wool over the eyes of his own allies. Also, unlike Overlord, there is a chance for the cast of characters to increase through a built-in gacha system(This is not a spoiler, this will literally be explained in the first few chapters.), except that the rates are absolutely abysmal, so it won't happen frequently. Maybe I'll use a poll to decide the next ally? We'll see.

Crafter's Passion (AKA Gleaners' Guild)
2038, California. Stan is doing his mandatory "volunteer" service years on a collective farm when he encounters Thousand Tales, a game that offers immortality to the super-rich. He can't afford to have his brain uploaded like those elite customers, but maybe he can turn a profit out of the game instead of just playing it. Not as a legendary swordsman or a brilliant wizard, but as a dealer in the junk no one else seems to want. If he plays his cards right, he can draw the attention of both the farm's supervisor and the game's ruling, meddling AI. Should he, though? LitRPG. Part of the world of "Thousand Tales", a novel series on Amazon, though no knowledge of it is expected. This story is around 12K words long. I'd appreciate feedback to help write a much longer version! Updates every few days. Cover art from game-icons.net, by Lorc, CC-BY. Update! This story was originally called "Gleaners' Guild". It came out on Amazon under the name "Crafter's Passion" and has many reviews there, thanks in part to the support of RR readers like you. Thanks! It even has a sequel, "Crafter's Heart".
