"Paul, huh?"

"Y-Yeah..." Paul muttered, her voice quivering. "I'm new to Lily Strikers, please be nice..."

"No worries! Name's Sam! I'm a #1 geek girl, and I'll teach you all about this game!"

"So... Our Bond gets exp?"

"Yeah! That's why people usually play this with their friends or lovers." Sam's avatar swung her sword, and Paul's eyes followed the stars sparking from the swing as they faded. "But you'll get exp for Bonding in general, so you won't have to start from ground zero for every person you Bond with."

"... Wow..."

"Anyways! Let's practice!"

"A, A, B, B!"

"A, A, B, B..." Paul muttered.

"You did it!" Sam yelled as their avatars did a combo attack.

"... It wasn't a perfect..."

"Doesn't need to be!"

"... There's this girl at Starbucks playing Lily Strikers- she just looked at me!"

"Paul!" Sam's familiar voice yelled, taking her stuff and running towards Paul.

"Sam?" Paul deafened and muted her voice chat.

"I didn't know we lived so close!" Sam was pretty, no doubt. "Thought you were a cute boy at first, haha..." She smiled, and Paul felt a warm blush creep in her cheeks.

They were playing Lily Strikers, Sam was talking about something, Paul can't remember what, before she paused. "... Is something wrong?"

"... Just anxious." Paul muttered, patting her binder. "... My... top surgery is tomorrow and I'm scared people will think I'm less of a girl for it... Even though I've really been looking forward to it..."

"Well... Y'know what they say, Paul!" Sam said. "The people who mind don't matter, the people who matter don't mind!"

"... I hope you're right..." Paul rubbed her arm. "... Hey, are you free tomorrow?

"Huh... Yeah... Are you gonna-"

"... Do you wanna visit me?"

Still drowsy from surgery, Paul mumbled. "Finally... No more boobers..." 

"We'll be getting your girlfriend shortly."

... Oh my god... Paul thought. They're getting me a girlfriend for free...

"Paul!" Sam ran into the room.

"... Are you my girlfriend, Sam?" Paul muttered.

Sam giggled. "Do you want me to be?"

"So, your house, next month once you've recovered?"

"Oh..." Paul teared up. "My love... I'd love to!"

"Your place is nice!" Sam said, wearing a shirt that had the main character and one of the members of her harem kissing passionately.

Paul, meanwhile, was not wearing a shirt at all, showing off her top surgery scars. "You like it?"

Sam walked over to her and touched her cheek, whispering a "Not as much as I like you." before kissing her.

And Paul saw their lives playing out before them.

Marriage, perhaps adoption, growing old together, being buried together...

... But for now, this first kiss... This first date...

It was only the beginning of a long happy life.
