Uzumaki Naruto has been hooked on a certain game for nearly three years now, he has always been a hardcore gamer but this one game took up most of his time.

Adventurers' Land, AKA., AL for short.

His Username in AL was RAIKI, which he came up with when he shortened 'Rare And I Know It', but now he was trying to change it to something that has 'Unique' in it, so he was struggling to come up with a good one.

UAIKI is just weird so that's a no... Hmmm... Then how about SOU..? 'Super Outstandingly Unique'..! Oh! That sounds good! Let's go with SOU~

Naruto made up his mind and changed his username to SOU.

It's actually been more than two months since he met Sasuke and had that talk with him about rankings and decided that he was a Unique. But he only got around to changing his Username now, cause it only just flashed to him.

But that's fine - or so he thought as he grinned to himself.

OOKAMI, aka., Inuzuka Kiba, his friend from middle school who he started playing AL with, messaged him about why he suddenly changed his Username.

And Naruto just giggled to himself thinking about how it boils down to Sasuke having started it all. But decided to just keep it himself and say that it was for no reason at all.

Kiba who knew what RAIKI was short for, curiously questioned him what SOU stands for.

And Naruto proudly told him what it's short for - 'Super Outstandingly Unique'

Kiba was sending laughing emoticons, and telling him how he's starting to sound more and more narcissistic.

But Naruto just proudly accepted it, saying that it can't be helped since he's too amazing to not be proud of.

And kiba just laughed more.

He got a message from BLACK too, one of his in game friends on AL, asking about the change in his Username. Though none of his online friends in the game knew neither the full form of his previous Username nor that he was homosexual. They only talked about other games that were good or Items and Raid timings on AL or when they were free to log in to party up or stuff similar to that. And since he too preferred to keep it that way, he did not reveal any personal information online, only ever talking about gaming with them.

Though he was wondering if he should reveal at least his sexuality to his closest online friend now - he says close but it was only in terms of gaming, he just played AL by partying up with BLACK the most -He didn't party up with Kiba this much either or any of his other middle school friends who were gamers too- so maybe he should tell him after all. He wondered if it was even necessary but then again, Naruto really was kinda curious about what BLACK's like in real life too so he decided to reveal his sexuality and if he seems fine with that then maybe try to ask for his real name and age at least.

So Naruto messaged him back on AL, about the full form of SOU and added with a cheerful emoticon 'Cause I'm extremely Unique and homosexual', he was honestly kinda nervous about what kinda reaction he'd get but BLACK just sent one word as a reply and that completely caught Naruto off guard.

BLACK : Naruto..?

SOU : Wait- you know me IRL?!

BLACK : "Super Outstandingly Unique" LMAO

SOU : Oh come on! Tell me!!

BLACK : Lol you figure it out yourself

SOU : That's so mean! Tell me, please~

BLACK : Nope, I guessed it perfectly without you telling me so try to guess it too lol

SOU : Dude, for real..? At least gimme a clue.

BLACK : We're the same age

SOU : Okay... You're definitely from my high school since you've heard me calling myself Unique, which I only started recently, and since we're the same age, you're a 1st year from my highschool... Do I know you too..?

BLACK : not telling

SOU : You're so mean..! I've become so freaking infamous lately that there are way too many who know me but I don't know them! How will I ever know who you are?!

BLACK : LMAO fine I'll give another clue since I'm so generous. I'm straight. Lol.

SOU : Oh, really now... Literally the majority of 1st first years are too..! At least tell me if I know you please~~~

BLACK : Fineee You do. You know me.

SOU : Okay... Since I don't know anyone outside of my own class, you must be in the same class as me! Do I just know you or we have talked too..?

BLACK : Not telling LMAO

SOU : Oh come on..!

BLACK : Anyways, let's go raid, it's getting late, I gotta sleep soon

SOU : You're cruel...

BLACK : Whatever, dobe. Let's go raid soon.

SOU : Sasuke! Teme! So It was you! I should've known you cruel ba*tard!!!

BLACK : Shit I messed up...

SOU : I'll deal with you tomorrow at school

BLACK : now, there's no need to be so scary, is there?

SOU : Yes there is

BLACK : I'm sorry, Forgive me..?

SOU : lol fine I wasn't really that upset. You get scared too easily Sasuke LMAO

BLACK : Shit. Of course I'd be scared, I treasure my life. Thank you very much.

SOU : Dude, what do you take me for..?

BLACK : Someone who's scary as F*ck when angry..?

SOU : Even if get upset with you, I wouldn't treat you the same way I treat others you know, geezzz

BLACK : You'd treat me worse?!!

SOU : NO! Duh, I'd treat you better! What the heck!

BLACK : For real? Why though??

SOU : What do mean why? Cause we're friends aren't we? I wouldn't treat you cruelly even if I'm upset with you

BLACK : Oh...

SOU : What's with that reaction..?

BLACK : Well, Cause you said I was more of a rival than a friend before so... I honestly thought you didn't see me as a friend.

SOU : Ah. That was just cause I didn't want those guys harassing you more using me as an excuse. You're actually the closest friend I've ever had. So I should actually just call you my best friend.

BLACK : You are so freaking embarrassing! How can you say that so casually?!

SOU : Awe, Sasuke you're so cute~ Are you being shy~ you're being shy huh~ Adorable~~~

BLACK : Shut up! Freak off! I'm sleeping now bye!

SOU : Eh?! What about the raid?

BLACK : It's LATE already so I'm sleeping! B-Y-E!!

SOU : Okay, okay, geezzz. Goodnight, Sasuke.

BLACK : Hn. Night.

Naruto giggled to himself scrolling up the chat and reading through it again. Grinning as he did so.
