Chapter 201: Friends
Arren leaned on his seat again while he was introducing his favorite MOBA game to Rave beside him. Even if he was not a hardcore gamer, he loved to do it occasionally, at least if he was truly bored or wanted a pastime.
It was only on their phone, so they could do it casually. They had been duo-queuing for over an hour, and Rave could now grasp the heroes and mechanics of the game.
"Oh, that’s a nice shot! We’ll push towers first, let them clash if they wanted to." Arren spoke nonchalantly, he sometimes didn’t care about his teammates, which had the tendency to make his blood boil as they focused more on clashing with their opponents without really doing anything to the objectives of the game, so with Rave, they could have a kill as well together if some unfortunate fellows tried to gank them.
"Mm, be mindful of your position," Rave responded, now giving advice as well. Arren was about to argue, but he ultimately didn’t. He had to admit that the omega was indeed good at this, even though he only technically played a handful of matches.
At least he was better than Arren when he started playing this game.
He could only roll his eyes and say, "Of course, I know that." His eyes glimpsed the mini-map and saw that the jungler and midlaner were not visible. As they were already deep on the enemy’s side, they had a higher chance of being ganked at this time.
Arren was playing a mage and a midlaner, and Rave was his support. He was technically a tank that also needed support from other teammates, but they didn’t care for others and only played for themselves. In any case, this wasn’t a ranked game.
"Be careful," he was already getting ready to fight an enemy and positioned himself a little behind Rave so he wouldn’t be stunned immediately to properly cast his skills.
Rave affirmed, and not only a few seconds later, as their enemies emerged from the other side’s bush, stunning Rave’s hero while giving Arren the opportunity to do the same and make his combo; however, as he was already about to cast his ultimate to the two after Rave managed to link and stun the two, his phone vibrated, and someone called.
Arren was about to curse really hard since it was bad timing, but his anger dissipated once he saw the name of the caller ID. Instantly, he didn’t care anymore about the game or if they were defeated, and he abandoned the game at once.
Sexy Alpha, it read. This was his name for Spade, which was changed from Hot Investigator to before.
