I get comfy in bed. The first couple weeks have been.... Pretty great, actually. I log into wattpad, smiling a bit and coming back to my role playing and reading empire... Okay, town... Okay I have a couple roleplays and a book. So what? My few followers love me and that's good enough for me. I look at a new episode of my favorite fic, scrolling through and reading the beautiful writing this story has to offer. I get to the bottom, and out of curiosity I started reading comments. There are certainly a few hate comments. Why is beyond me, but, as a fellow author, I have to step in. I start writing out replies to this person, and we end up going at it for a while. There are several others that are defending the writer so I don't think much of this particular one. I carry on, thinking my work here is done. I continue roleplaying with my buddies, getting in the zone. I pause when I see a new chat pop up at the top of my messages. I recognize the username... I click on it. It was one of the people defending the story with me! We interact for quite some time before I ask,

'Hey... Are you into roleplaying at all?'

This seemed like a person I would want to keep up with. To my luck, they replied yes! So, we started planning and came up with something decent. I felt hopeful. I made a new friend!

It's been a couple weeks. I am just... Every new message this girl wows me. We have similar writing styles, boundaries... Everything. This has become my favorite roleplay by FAR. I'm so glad I asked that one question.

Jax peeked over my shoulder. "You're always writing smut."

I blush. Hard. "Am not!" I cross my arms after clicking out of the tab. "You just always see my smut!"

"Eh. You're always writing smut."

She had a point, our characters had a lot of sex. So? Adults have a lot of sex. It's realistic. Isn't it? Theres tons of angst, too, at least. The bell rang, so I closed my laptop and put it in my bag, moving onto my next class. I'm happy, the other user is happy, I'm not bothering anyone, two birdies to Jax. And.... Jax gave them back. Real mature. Love you too, jaxie.
