Chapter 2: Friends
Ryu was sleeping in bed as his body began to feel very warm. When he opened his eyes he was in a room filled with nothing but fire.
Ryu: WHAT THE?!! Did I die and go to hell?! Come on I know I'm half Devil but I what did I even do?!
???: Oh stop being over dramatic. This isn't hell, you're just asleep.
Ryu: That voice...
A large being veiled in black flames appeared in front of Ryu.
???: I'm the being that resides in your body. Your Sacred Gear.
The being had glowing red eyes as Ryu looked up. Part of him wanted to feel scared, but the rest felt too calm.
???: Well if I'm taking a form like this then it means it's a bit too early. Drift back to sleep.
Ryu's eyes felt heavy before they closed and the heat he felt around him ceased. A little after he noticed more warmth but nowhere near as great as the other. He opened an eye before seeing that a sleeping Evelyn was right in front of his face.
Which meant it took all of 3 seconds for the teen to start blushing.
Ryu: GAH!!!
He jolted back nearly falling off the bed, thankfully stopping himself. Evelyn slowly got up rubbing her eyes.
Evelyn: Mm... Ryu it's the middle of the night... *Yawn* Why are moving around so much?
Ryu: TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY YOU'RE IN MY HOUSE AGAIN AND IN MY BED!!!
Evelyn: Adrian said I need to be near you at all times, and *Yawn* there weren't any other rooms so I made myself comfortable.
Ryu: I did not consent to this!
Evelyn: Sorry, masters orders. Plus-
She lied back down smiling.
Evelyn: What kind of teenage boy wouldn't like a tiny cute girl in bunny pajamas in their bed?
Ryu: -_- The one's who realize how annoying said bunny girl can be.
Evelyn: Just relax.
She pulled him back down falling asleep.
Ryu: 'You are way to hard to understand.'
He fell back asleep.
TIME SKIP!!
After a bit of time Evelyn woke up stretching as both of her ears were flopped in front of her face.
Evelyn: Ahhhh, nothing like a good-
She looked at the alarm seeing it was 10:30 pleased.
Evelyn: 10 and a half ours of sleep!
She looked to the side seeing Ryu wasn't there. A smell then filled her nose as she got out of bed being drawn downstairs. The source was revealed to be Ryu's cooking as he looked back to see her.
Ryu: Oh, morning Evelyn. Took you a while to get up.
Evelyn: Wait, how long have you been up?
Ryu: Meh, probably since like 7.
Evelyn: CRAZY!! NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND SHOULD WAKE UP BEFORE 9 IF THEY HAVE THE OPTION!!!
Ryu: -_- Yeah yeah whatever.
He placed down two omelets before sitting down.
Evelyn: I think this is the jiggliest omelet I've ever seen...
Ryu: An Omelet Soufflé. The red stuff is tomato sauce. By the way, raise your expectations.
Evelyn: Why?
He turned to the side with a deadpan.
Ryu: -_- Sanity reasons.
Shrugging this off Evelyn took a bite and her eyes nearly popped out of her head.
Evelyn: SO GOOD~!!
Ryu: *Chomp* It took me a few days to get that recipe right.
Evelyn: WHAT THE HECK?!! DID YOU GO TO CULINARY SCHOOL OR SOMETHING?!!
Ryu: No. *Chomp* But my teacher actually went to a really good one apparently.
Evelyn: Seriously *Nom* you have a real gift dude!!
Ryu: Uhh, thanks.
After finishing breakfast the two got up.
Evelyn: Nothing like a good breakfast to start the day off right!!
Ryu: Yeah, I guess you're right on that one.
Evelyn: Anyway let's go!
Ryu: O_O Go where?
The bunny girl grabbed a roll of paper, before it unrolled into a long list.
Evelyn: Well our first stop is to the arcade!! Then we'll go buy snacks for here, since I noticed you have a distinct lack in your pantry. Then since I noticed you don't have any, we'll get a video game console-
Ryu: WHERE ARE WE GONNA GET THE MONEY?!!!
Evelyn: Don't worry, I got it covered!! This is a list of all the things we're gonna do over the summer!!
Ryu: When the hell did you have the time to make this?!
Evelyn: It actually wasn't that hard. I just put a bunch of things normal teens do over the summer! I'm not gonna give up that easily, I'll make you smile yet!!
Ryu seemed genuinely shocked at the amount of effort she was giving.
Ryu: 'Why is she going this far for me?'
Evelyn: Just let me get dressed and we'll be out the door!
She ran upstairs and after a minute she was back down in a more casual outfit. She wore skinny jeans, white sneakers, and a shirt that said "Number 1", while carrying a purple purse.
Evelyn: Ready!
Ryu: Alright just give me a sec.
He went to the doorstep putting on black sneakers. Evelyn looked down seeing the jumping slightly.
Evelyn: Ryu, do you have any idea what it means to wear those kinds of sneakers?
Ryu: O_O What are you talking about?
He said this while they went out, locking the door.
Evelyn: Good thing after the console we're going clothes shopping.
Ryu: -_- This feels sorta emasculating.
Evelyn: Come on, it's just a friend doing something nice for another friend. Let's go!
She grabbed his hand as they walked out of the house.
Ryu: Why do you just love dragging me?!
Evelyn: Not my fault you'll get slower when we're about to be there!
TIME SKIP!!
Evelyn: Woah, you're a natural- Crap baskets!!
Evelyn dodged a zombie as she and Ryu played an FPS game in which they held actual blasters.
Ryu: Ok I get what you meant, this is kinda fun.
He seemed to focus not missing a shot.
Evelyn: Well if there ever comes a time where we need to use a gun I know my first choice of who shoots!!
She immediately died after saying that with her ears flopping down, while Ryu went on to beat another the high score.
Evelyn: -_- Maybe you're a little too good for something this casual.
Ryu: Shouldn't you have said that before... You know.
He looked back at the 5 other games he had gotten the new high score in.
Evelyn: Now to be fair, that was just to let you try new things. Anyway arcade is off the list!
She crossed it off on the long activity list.
Evelyn: Alright, next we should probably head clothes shopping before anything else. Cause we DEFINITELY need to spruce up your outfit.
Ryu: Okay seriously, what's wrong with my outfit?
Evelyn: Ryu you're wearing Black Air Forces, that alone is a problem in itself which we're gonna talk about another time.
They moved from the arcade as soon they moved to a clothes store of the mall they visited. Talked into it by Evelyn, Ryu picked 5 different outfits for himself, while she did the same. Changing from the one he currently was in, Ryu wore a black jacket open, a white shirt underneath it, blue jeans, and white high top sneakers.
Evelyn: Looking sharp man!
Ryu: Hey, this looks pretty good.
Evelyn: Hold on, just one last thing to bring it together!
She reached into a box, showing a shining silver chain.
Ryu: You sure? That looks pretty expensive.
Evelyn: Come on Ryu, are you seriously gonna ask me that?
She reached up before putting it around his neck.
Evelyn: See? A little flare does wonders!
She moved him to the mirror, as Ryu looked up and down.
Ryu: Yeah, you're right.
Evelyn: Alright, now let's head to the next destination!
She crossed off clothes shopping, and then the two went to a gaming store.
Evelyn: If you liked the arcade games, then trust me, this place will be like a candy store to you! Look around while I find the console we're looking for.
Ryu walked around and quickly realized that this could become an addictive hobby.
Ryu: Man, there's all sorts of games here. Black Ops, Sonic, Pokémon, the works.
He was about to reach one before his head quickly turned to the window, only to see nothing.
Ryu: Huh.
He shrugged and went back to browsing as outside the store two familiar faces were wearing inconspicuous outfits.
Azure: -_- I literally can't believe you dragged me into this Milim.
Milim: Come on Azure, you can't tell me you wouldn't be the LEAST but interested in seeing this right?
Azure: Why would I be interested in seeing another dude smile?
Milim: Because he's one of us! That and it might be his first REAL smile!
Azure: *Sigh* Alright while that does sound a little appealing, let's just leave it to Evelyn for now. Sneaking around is just creepy.
Milim: Fine~.
Ryu: Apparently Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are really hard compared to other games so I guess-
Evelyn: Alright Ryu, got the games!
Ryu: Oh, well then let's-
Ryu saw Evelyn with multiple boxes, instead of just one.
Ryu: ... Why do you have two hand held consoles?
Evelyn: A-Aha, there was a really good deal?
Ryu: -_- Impulse purchase, got it.
Evelyn: You mind?
He sighed before grabbing Evelyn's list crossing off grabbing video games.
Evelyn: And last but not least, snacks! And before you even ask, no gaming session is complete without them.
Ryu: I'll take your word for it I guess.
They had gone to the grocery shopping section before buying bags of chips, cookies, soda -zero sugar to be health conscious- and a whole box of Asian snacks. After that they finally returned back to Ryu's house.
Evelyn: Luckily you already have a really nice TV!
She plugged in a Switch and after setting it up, Evelyn brought out an assortment of games.
Evelyn: Some people may call me a nerd for everything I have, but I prefer the simpler term: Gamer. Which one you wanna start with? Oh, expect Mario Party, that's a four player game.
Ryu: Uhhh, if that's what it takes, we've got another two outside.
He pointed behind him to the window as Evelyn quickly turned and saw Azure and Milim at the window.
Evelyn: HUH?!!!
Azure: Wait what?
Milim: BUSTED!!
Azure: Nah, just you.
Azure was gone after those words.
Milim: GET BACK HERE TRAITOR!!!
Milim dashed off as Evelyn was confused.
Evelyn: ... How long did you know they were there?
Ryu: Since the gaming shop.
Evelyn: B-But I didn't even notice!
Ryu: Cause you were distracted.
They heard a knock on the door before it opened as Azure walked to them.
Azure: By the way, that's an evil game.
He grabbed Mario Party throwing it to the side.
Azure: Thank me later, it'll save your sanity.
He dashed off closing the door.
Ryu: Yeah just gonna ignore the last minute entirely. Alright, let's get started.
5 HOURS LATER
Ryu: Shit shit shit!! How is this a two star boss?!!
Ryu was trying his best to dodge the attacks of a three headed beast, while also playing as a character with brown hair wielding a key for a sword.
Evelyn: I TOLD YOU, THE DIFFICULTY MAKES NO SENSE!!!
Ryu: Damnit I can't see it's health, I can barely combo, I'm low on MP, AND THAT DAMN DUCK DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FUCKING DODGE!!!!
He kept dodging around, as soon the magic points of the character came back. With one final lighting attack, the heads of Cerberus glowed, and the battle finally ended.
Ryu: YES!!!!
Evelyn: YOU GOT HIM!!!!
Ryu dropped the controller slumping back, and flipping the bird to the dead beast
Ryu: *GASP* I can finally have my piece of mind again.
Evelyn: I can't believe you did that on your third attempt!
Ryu: -_- Neither can I.
Evelyn scooted over to Ryu with a small smile on her face.
Evelyn: So, how was your first video game?
Ryu: Exhausting... But I think that's the most fun I've ever had.
Evelyn: Well buckle up, cause we've got plenty more to get through just as fun!
Ryu: Really?
Evelyn: Yeah! Some even more!
Ryu looked at the smiling Evelyn, staring into her sparkling eyes.
Evelyn: Let me tell you, you're gonna get hooked!
He kept looking at the bunny girl, before snickering a bit. Barely noticeable due to even the trained eye, Ryu's lips curved upwards ever so slightly. Evelyn for a moment was confused.
Evelyn: 'Wait... Was that-'
Ryu: Alright, let's keep going.
CHAPTER END!!
