3RD PERSON POV

Y/N: 19th birthday..........

He signs, looking into the sky before booting up his PC and grabs his controller.

Y/N: WHAT'S UP?!

PizzaGirl: WHAT'S UP?! Happy 19th birthday by the way!

Y/N: *smile* Thanks.

PizzaGirl: Are you planning on celebrating it with anyone?

Y/N: Honestly I have a lot of options. I'm just not sure how to.

*BEEP*

Katakuri: Happy birthday. Mom's got a surprise for you. You can come anytime but preferably at 4 PM.

Y/N: Let me send a picture.

PizzaGirl: Oh damn she's hot. You have other women too?

Y/N: Yeah.

PizzaGirl: You ever think about the future?

Y/N: Plenty. I'm just.....not sure what to do. I don't have a lot of friends and such.

PizzaGirl: You can hang out with me you know.

Y/N: After this round.

PizzaGirl: HOLY ########

There was a lot of screaming and cursing as they mowed through the entire lobby together, people calling them cheaters and the two of them laughed together like genuine friends.

Later

Y/N: Well she's late.

Y/N had a deadpan expression upon seeing she was late to the meeting point, having texted his online friend though he was the only one there.

Y/N: I wonder what she looks like......

*BAM*

Yoo: Who-

Y/N: Yoo?

Yoo:.........

Y/N:............

Yoo: HOLY SHIT THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE?!

Y/N: AND THIS IS WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE?!

Yoo: WASSUP Y/N!

Y/N: WASSUP!

Yoo/Y/N: EEEYYYYYYYY!

They give each other a big hug out of excitement though she squeaks as Y/N lets go of her.

Y/N: *chuckle* Sorry. Got a bit excited.

Yoo: You're pretty tall though.

Y/N: Got a late growth spurt and now I'm 6 feet 3 inches tall.

Y/N: Shortie.

*BAM*

Yoo punches his shoulder though they share a laugh together, happy to see each other for the first time as they head to another direction together.

Yoo: Turned 19 eh? I'm close to 18 but not quite there.

Y/N: Well it's nice to interact with someone around my age.

Yoo: Nice. So what do you want to do today?

Y/N: Hmmmmm.....good question.

Later

Y/N: Claw strength is not as flimsy as before. Clearly adjusted though the day so.........what do you want?

Yoo: That.

Y/N sweats, focusing on the figurine she wanted before clicking the button.

*THUD*

Yoo/Y/N: FUCK YEAH!

Y/N: Alright here you go!

She had stars in her eyes, taking the prize from his hands as they come across a dance machine and he enters the coin.

Yoo: Honestly I'm not sure how good you are but it's pretty hard. I recommend that-

Y/N: Hardest difficulty GO!

*BAM*

He gets the highest score ever and everyone was gathered around the machine, flabbergasted as he even begins to dance break to flex on everyone while maintaining the rhythm.

???: Holy shit he's good!

Y/N twirls and twists his body, even doing a flip and sticking the landing on the last spot before bowing to the audience and proceeds to yolo out of there while dragging Yoo along.

Yoo: YOU CAN DANCE?!

Y/N: HELL YEAH I CAN! Been practicing for some time too just for fun!

Yoo: Wait we haven't tried the other ones out yet!

Y/N: Ah......

Yoo: You don't like attention?

Y/N: Kind of.

Yoo: It's not like they'll crowd over you. Cmon let's have some more fun!

He was dragged inside by her as they tried out various other machines whilst someone watches them.

Later

Yoo:......So you done it dozens of times before?

Y/N: It's just something I enjoy doing if I'm bored. I don't really have much friends....

She was a bit weirded after regretting pressing on about what he meant by body count as the atmosphere grew awkward.

Yoo: *confused* No girlfriends? I mean if you're doing that surely there's someone-

Y/N: I don't trust them.

Yoo: Or it's because you're afraid of trusting someone.

Y/N: Sort of like that.

They sipped their smoothies as Yoo got to know more about Y/N's life as he talks on and on.

Y/N: Never really had a good relationship with parents. A good relationship with friends or family. I.......I don't know.

Yoo: You know........it's been tough for me too. Stress, guys, school work. There's not a lot of people I can trust other than my friends and family. You should find those people. 'You got options though.'

Y/N: I left that all behind for my own goals. I have hobbies I enjoy-

Yoo: Boning milfs.

Y/N: Besides that. I like video games, food, exploring new places, training, cats-

Yoo: I like cats too.

Y/N: You got a boyfriend?

Yoo: Nah. I'm not into romance.....or at least in any guys at the moment.

Y/N: Yeah......well I'm doomed anyways to have a harem.

She jolts back as Y/N reveals his system as she takes a look at it.

Yoo:......So you must fuck the multiverse.

Y/N: Yes.

Hell yeah

Y/N: Fuck you.

Fuck you too.

Y/N suddenly pulls out an UNO deck and he sits down as the screen materializes glowing green hands and a face.

Y/N: REVEAL YOURSELF!

*WHOOSH*

AI: Game of UNO?

Y/N: Fuck yeah. Yoo?

Yoo shuffles the deck and slaps it down as Y/N and the AI pulls out 7 cards randomly from the top.

Y/N: Ready to lose?

AI: *smirk* Can say the same about you.

Yoo: EVERYONE READY?!

Y/N/AI: I'M DAMN READY!

Yoo: THREE TWO ONE GO!

Kousuke:............

He was right next to Yoo who stares intensely at the intense UNO match between the system itself and Y/N as they slap cards down.

AI: +2!

Y/N: Jokes on you I got the same thing.

AI: Let me even the tables~ +4!

Y/N: FUCK! Oh?.......Oh damn~

The AI seemed worried, seeing Y/N's devilish smile as he slaps an Ø down.....

Y/N: AND AGAIN!

He slaps it down six more times, leaving two cards alone before-

AI/Y/N: UNO!

Kousuke: The green thing said it first.

Y/N: FUCK!

Yoo: Wha- HOW ARE YOU-

Kousuke: You have quite the interesting friend I must say.

Y/N/AI: UNO!

He records the moment, listening to it before holding his phone out.

Kousuke: Who said UNO first? I need to be certain.

Yoo: Hmmmm....seems like Y/N did.

AI: FUCK!

Y/N: YEAH! GET THOSE 4 CARDS!

Yoo and the newcomer acted like referees as they monitored the intense rivalry between the system and Y/N himself

Later

Kousuke: I know my mom's an ass.

Y/N/Yoo/AI: Yes he is.

BOUNTY UPDATED

YUI HIRAHARA

Yoo:.........

Y/N:............

Kousuke:............I know my mom's an ass-

Y/N: I can fix her.

Kousuke: Money to kill, more to change them, and more to............. 😑Really?

Y/N:...........Talk No Jutsu.

Yoo: Naruto Style.

Kousuke: If it doesn't work?

Y/N: IT ALWAYS WORKS! I convinced even dictators and psychopathic people to change their ways! IT ALWAYS WORK-

Kousuke: But what if?

Y/N: WOULD. 100% MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY- wait is she married?

Yoo: Yeah.

Y/N: Yeah no I'm not doing that. I have morals.

Kousuke: They're secretly divorced.

Y/N:...................

Kousuke: Just......let's not discuss this.

Y/N: 'Kay.

Kousuke: *sigh* 'Why the fuck am I talking about this in the first place?' You're downright horrendous.

Y/N: It's my life to be down bad now. Might as well go with the flow.

AI: Yup!~ And you can't do anything about it~

Kousuke/Y/N: 🖕

Yoo: 🫢

Kousuke: Now there's something we agree on.

Y/N: Yup.

Later

Kousuke: Her etiquette is terrible.

Y/N: Yoo's only a highschooler.

Kousuke: She needs the lessons.

Y/N: Not everyone's like you.

Kousuke: I know. But she needs to learn.

Y/N: College first.

Kousuke: College.....not something you'd know.

Y/N: I don't need it.

Yoo: 'I don't know if they're getting along or hate each other.'

They traded popcorns in a 5 minute interval, having passed them around though Y/N and Yoo shoved a cookie into each other's mouth.

Y/N: I was bored so I acquired 20 different engineering degrees and a medical degree.

Kousuke: I'll admit you're frighteningly smart.

Yoo: Showoff.

*CRUNCH*

Kousuke: The movie's not bad.

Y/N: It has no plot.

Yoo: It's just for shits and giggles.

Kousuke: It's comedic.

Y/N: That's what saves it from being shitty.

Yoo: Hey I'm gonna get something. I'll be right back.

Y/N: Alright. We'll be waiting.

Later

Y/N:...........

Yoo: Happy....BIRTHDAY!

Kousuke: You don't have the letters.

Yoo: I only learned today was his birthday 5 days ago. I know he likes this though.

Y/N: I........

Yoo: *grin* Well? DIG IN!

*NOM*

Within her house, she slices the cake into 16 different pieces as Y/N immediately devours 5 of them, she eats two and Kousuke relents and eats one as the TV turns on.

Kousuke: How did you two meet?

Yoo: We're gaming buddies in different worlds somehow.

Y/N: But hey we're fine with that!

Yoo: You gotta show me around.

Y/N: Will do.

Kousuke: I never had time for games.

Yoo: Loser.

Kousuke: *raised brow* I'm your boss?

Yoo:...........Oops.

Y/N: Pardon me we're all just feeling stupid today.

Kousuke: Figured.

He didn't know why, but hanging around the two people much younger than him brought some sense of relief. He couldn't quite put into words what he felt, but there was a definite sense of kinship and crackhead energy when they were playing videogames.

Yoo: THE HELL?! YOU JUST PLAYED!

Kousuke: Hmph. It seems even with your experience my talent carries onto such frivolous activities.

Y/N: But I still beat you.

Kousuke: Which means I have yet to learn.

He was surprisingly a good player of street fighter, beating Y/N a few times though the record was 7-25 and he beat quite a lot of online players.

Yoo: *pout* Hmph.

Kousuke: This was indeed a unique experience. I learned quite a bit from you both, especially you Yoo.

Yoo: And?

Kousuke: There's junk in your teeth.

She looks into a mirror and removes it just as Y/N puts on a coat and they all head out her house.

Kousuke: I will refrain from questioning any changes regarding my.....mom in the future. Pray that I like it.

Y/N: Alright.

He had half the remaining cake bagged up and Kousuke thanks them for the food and evening before leaving as Y/N meets Yoo at the front door.

*HUG*

Y/N: Thanks for the birthday.

Yoo: Have you ever celebrated your birthday before?

Y/N: No......

She had a sad look on her face, their arms wrapped around each other as he pats her head and opens a portal.

Y/N: It's been fun actually......wanna hang out later?

Yoo: Honestly I might as well show you to my friends. They'll be chill with you.

Y/N: If we get along, I'll get along with them.

Y/N/Yoo: SEE YA!

They shared one last goodbye before he returns back to his apartment, seeing clones with leftover cakes and food from simultaneous different birthday parties shoved into the fridge before he stuffs the chocolate cake inside.

Y/N: Maybe it's good to have friends like her. Maybe....I can trust people now.
