I stepped into the arcade, instantly getting a whiff of pizza.
I watched as all the vibrant colors fill the area.
I smiled, excited to play my favorite game.
I instantly ran over to it only to see someone playing it.
I sighed, dissatisfied that I have to wait.
I watched and waited until someone shoved me, causing me to bump into the guy who was playing the game.
Beeping came from the game, alarming that he lost.
"Hey, what the fuck!" I exclaimed, toward the person who shoved me harshly, and they glared before walking away.
The boy who lost the game just looked at the screen in shock, he looked over at me slowly.
"You made me fucking lose!" The blonde-haired boy cursed, my eyes widened as he grabbed the collar of my shirt and placed my back onto the game harshly.
"It's not that big of a deal! Let go of me!" I cried out as I tried to squirm out of his grip.
"It's not that big of a deal?! I was about to beat my high score. You play, let's see if you can beat me." The boy harshly let go of me before crossing his arms.
I smirked followed by a shrug.
"Bet," I responded, placing a coin into the game as the loading screen popped up. I began to play as the boy watched me carefully.
Almost every day I would go to the arcade and play this game, so this should be easy.
I focused as I pressed buttons and moved the joystick quickly.
Almost immediately, I beat his high score.
I gave him a smirk before looking back at the game.
When I glanced back at him, he was staring right at me, not at the game.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion but shook it off and continued to play the game.
After a few seconds, I died.
"See, wasn't so hard, blondie." I teased, looking up at the irritated boy.
"Yeah, yeah. How the hell did you do that?" Vance looked down at me, clearly frustrated.
I chuckled slightly and shrugged.
"Practice, I guess," I answered.
"What's your name, blondie?" I questioned, leaning against the game.
"Vance." He responded blankly.
"Y/n," I replied, with a smile.
"Let's play." I waited for an answer.
"Sure." The boy uttered, with a playful grin.
We went back to the menu and chose 'two player' and began to play together.
We smiled as we beat the enemies in the game easily.
We ended up getting the highest high score on the board.
"Hell yeah!" I shouted, I held out my hand high fiving him.
Vance snickered.
"Alright, I need to go. Up for the same time tomorrow?" I inquired.
"For sure," Vance replied
I smiled, walking away.
I looked back to see him continuing to play the game.
I walked out of the arcade and walked back home.

8 204The Hero Is Unchained, But Not Free
In a world divided, there are two types of people: the Uni and the Typpe—those with superhuman abilities, and those without. Uni are given jobs based on their abilities, becoming either Hero or Villain, and their battles are used to entertain the masses. All looks to be at peace, but a war brews in the shadows... Author Ivy McLaughlan is down on her luck. Losing her status of bestseller, she is disowned by her wealthy family and forced to take refuge in a dilapidated apartment in a city far from home. There, she meets Satsuya Harada, the most powerful Uni alive...who works as a bartender and barista. Unwittingly entangled in a war for the use of Satsuya’s abilities, Ivy uncovers not only the secrets behind the Uni, but the secrets behind her own life. Now—if only she can stay alive long enough to make use of them. Updating Tuesdays and Thursdays through the end of May, then on hiatus until September.

8 202My Intergalactic Boyfriend
Rae is an 18 year old boy, with "Fluffy Cat-Like Ears and a Tail", who is going into his senior year in high school at the lowest point in his life. Rae has been relentlessly bullied and tormented for his entire childhood because of his physical differences. When Rae's last bit of hope for a life with meaning is crushed, the Cosmos decides to send him a guide to help him find his Purpose and grant him Love. First and foremost this is a Science Fiction, Fantasy-Adventure story. The story has a strong "Slow-Burn" Gay Romance sub-plot (Male x Male / Boy x Boy) that is central to the events in the story. (i.e. Characters are not going to fall in love with each other immediately.) You will likely find that the pacing in the beginning is intentionally slower than some other stories. To some it may even resemble a slice-of-life / school-life style story early on. This is intentional and is my personal choice for character developement and world-building, but I assure you there will be plenty of Fantasy and Adventure later in the story. Hopefully, the various mix of elements will appeal to a wide range of readers. This story is published only on: RoyalRoad / Tapas / Wattpad This story is published only under the ScreenName: SpuriousSimulacrum
