You were on your usual seat on the bus, scrolling through your phone while you wait for Nathan. The both of you had the same class for last period every other day, and the teacher he has today always dismisses class late, so you do some investigating while he is not here.

You had googled "Nathaniel Ronbré" and what had come up were old black and white photos. You added the word "gaming" at the end of your search, but still came up with nothing.

Jesus, Y/N, you kicked yourself silently. You're overthinking things. He probably just like playing video games, like anyone else.

But all the other things that you noticed about him today says otherwise. His phone would buzz for a whole three minutes every 15 minutes. That was an awful lot of notifications to have on. You also noticed the way looks around when he walks in a crowded area- it was like he was trying to shrink and be unseen, and he always shies away from questions about his personal life.  

Needless to say, it was like he was hiding something. Just like you.

"Hey."

You quickly turned off your phone and innocently placed it on your lap. "HeY-" you slapped your hand to your mouth, cutting off that awful voice crack- something that happens when you feel guilty or hiding something.

Nathan widened his eyes then started snickering. "What was that?"

"I will pretend you didn't say anything," you wagged a finger at him as he sat down beside you. "What are you doing later?"

He hummed. "Nothing much. The first days of the school year are always so laxed, so I'll just be playing games."

"What games do you play?" This is the perfect time to pry him, seeing that he is being a little more open right now. 

He hesitated and looked at you. He then mumbled something that you didn't quite catch.

"I'm sorry?" You leaned closer to him to hear what he was saying.

"Minecraft," he says quietly.

You stare at him for a few seconds. "You still play Minecraft?"

He ducks his head. "Yeah, I know. It's a kids game, but-"

You grab his arm and shake it vigorously. "I LOVE MINECRAFT, NEIL," you squealed.

"You do?" he asks in a wobbly voice since you were still shaking him.

"YES," you stop, then shake him one last time. He laughed and also shook you, but gentler.

"What do you do in Minecraft?"

"Oh," you start. Now, you know a tiny bit about what was going on in the Minecraft community- before, building houses were the prime, but now, everyone is playing PvP and other violent stuff. "Well, I just build houses."

"Mmmm," he looked at you more closely. "You definitely also pick flowers in the majority of your time."

You gasped and pressed a hand on your chest. "How dare you insult me like that! I probably take better care of my oxeye daisies than you do- if you even have any."

He grinned behind his mask. "What's your favorite flower, then?"

You stop and think for a moment.

"Alliums."
