It had been a long time since you had played video games with anyone. Mainly because you never really had any free time. You were needed a lot at work.

Plus, your friends were always busy as well. When you did play video games, it was with your brother. But even that was rare.

So it felt really great to be sat down playing with someone! Sure you'd only just met Malina, but you enjoyed her company.

It did get silent at times when you were playing, but there would often be conversations about games that both of you had played.

"It's a shame you're not staying for longer. I....could really do with a gaming buddy....I've often dreamt of having one." She said without looking at you. Although, you could tell how disappointed she was.

"I understand..." You paused for a second to think, before then pausing the game too causing Malina to turn her gaze to you.

"You wanna say something?" She asked.

You nodded. "Y-yeah I do....you heard earlier when Monica said she was taking me back to my world right?"

"Mhm. I remember hearing that. And since when did she let people call her 'Monica'?" She tilted her head.

"Oh it's...just a nickname I started calling her. She approves of it! Anyway, she is taking me home and...the others are also tagging along." You explained referring to Modeus and Cerberus.

"I see....is this going somewhere?" She placed down her controller and reached for her vodka.

"Yes it is! Would you like to come with us?" Your question seemed to catch Malina slightly off guard.

"Y-you're....you're inviting me along with you?" She sounded shocked.

"Sure I am! Why not? You seem like you could do with the company. I know we only just met and all, but I've been enjoying my time with you! I....hope you can say the same about me!" Chuckling nervously, you scratched your nape and looked away.

"I mean....sure yeah why not! If you have so many video games, then I need to have a look at them don't I?" She was still surprised, but smiled a little. To have someone invite them to their house was new for her.

"Awesome! Well I suppose we still have some time before the others wake up! Let's continue!" You cheered and unpaused the game.

Malina however, did not begin playing again straight away. She was too busy staring at you. It amazes her how....warm you were to her after only having just met her.

Usually she would drive others away with her attitude and excessive drinking. But not you....she felt there was something special about you.

"I look forward to finding out more about you...." She thought as she smiled before turning her attention back to the screen.

You hadn't even noticed her staring. "Come on Malina! Keep up!"

The two of you played for what seemed like hours. Probably because it was hours. Time just flew past.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MY COMFY PILLOW?!" Until you were finally interrupted by loud shouting from the other room.c

It was Pandemonica. She had woken up, resting on Cerberus' shoulder and not yours which pissed her off.

"What's her problem?" Malina asked, not taking her eyes off the game.

"She was....sleeping on my shoulder before I came in here to spend time with you." You said while listening to the ruckus in the other room.

Monica's outburst had woken up the other girls as well and now they were arguing.

"Eh leave them. If they get so concerned, they'll come in here to find you."
