Can Your Pet?
I was inspired by Dan and Phil's "Can Your Pet?" video. And I was really tired when I wrote this.
Hajime manages to drag Gundam over to his house, claiming that he has a 'special' game for Gundam.
"Now that you've gotten me into your realm, what do you intend to do now?"
"Like I told you before," Hajime Hinata said, plopping down at his bed and opening his computer. "I have something I want you to play."
"Play?" Gundam Tanaka echoed, shuffling closer to his bed. "What do you mean?"
Giving a nod in return, Hajime spun the computer around so that the screen faced Gundam.
"Can your pet!"
"Can... your pet?" The other male said blankly. His eyes zeroed in on the yellow blob with eyes on the screen. "So, it is a breeding game? Alas, Hinata, you tried to beat me in a... so-called game that specializes in my talent? You have courage, more courage then what I have seen before me in centuries!"
"Oh, no, I'm not facing you in it," the brown-haired boy hurried to explain, but the corners of his mouth twitched up in a smile. "I just want you to play it."
Gundam eyed him, taking in the little smirk Hajime was wearing, although it could be mistaken for a smile.
"Very well," he said at last. "I will... participate in your little... game."
The Ultimate Animal Breeder took a seat at the edge of the bed, as if to fly off at the slightest of movement. Carefully passing the computer over to him, Hajime pointed at the touchpad at the bottom of the keyboard then at the START.
"Ah, I shall behold you the honor of granting this creature a name, since you have allowed a pathway for me to use this..."
"How about Sonia?" Hajime suggested, and took note of the way Gundam's eyes flicked away from the screen to focus at a spot on the floor, then back to the screen. His scarf was pulled down, so the reserve course student could see hints of a blush on the boy's cheeks.
"Very well, Sonia it is. A powerful name."
Instantly, a small yet genuine smile settled across his face, kept minimal so it wouldn't pull down his 'image' at the sight of the yellow animal. 'Sonia' waddled around, blinking as the cursor hovered over the little ribbon.
"Come on, click it," Hajime encouraged, and the other person on the bed tapped the touchpad. The little box popped up, and Gundam peered at the options, then let out a hearty laugh.
"Kehehe! So they believe the power of this beast may be restrained by these little objects..."
After a small moment of deciding, he chose to pick the option with the red bow, then kept the eyes the same.
"You should've picked the anime-eye option," Hajime commented. "Sonia would like that. The bow reminds me of Sonia Nevermind, too..."
The Ultimate Animal Breeder didn't reply, and just hunched more over the keyboard. "I also believe they suit a.. tie."
"A tie? Really?" Fiddling with his own, the reserve course student chuckled. "All right, you make the choices. Keep going."
"And a scar, to tell of their dark fight for freedom to wander this world."
"Wow, okay. Deep, Gundam. Deep."
Again, Gundam settled into his own little world as he dragged the food package to the animal, his eyes softening in the slightest as the small dance the creature did after the feeding.
"You see those bars over there? That red one's the food, so you have to fill that up, so I think they'll starve-"
"I shall not let hunger devour this creature!"
"Hn. And the blue bar is the cleanliness bar, which you fill up with the little shower thing down there."
As Gundam allowed water to drip down on 'Sonia', who actually seemed quite happy with it and kept walking towards it, another option lit up on the bottom menu, this one with a soccer ball and a weight.
"I... think that's exercise, I'm not sure."
A soccer ball appeared over Sonia's head, and the yellow animal bopped it, which sent the ball curving like a rainbow and disappeared into the ground.
After several more exchanging of the soccer ball, the Ultimate Animal Breeder noticed the bicycle.
At the sight of the curiosity in his eyes, Hajime smiled deviously, but quickly smothered it in case Gundam saw it in the reflection of the screen. "So... I think we might have to go on the bicycle to get the video game console?"
In the middle of a game of 'bonk the soccer ball', Gundam looked up at him, allowing the soccer ball to fall to the ground. "Perhaps that is what the creators wished for us to do," he mused. "They left the fifth option burdened to transparency, so I, Gundam Tanaka, will take a risk and go on the accursed mortal creation called a bicycle!"
Hajime hid a snicker behind his hand, and pretended it was a cough. One of Gundam's hamsters, San-D, poked his nose of the scarf, whiskers twitching as he sniffed the air, pawed his way out of the said purple scarf, and made his way down Gundam's arm to poke at the screen.
"Ah, it seems one of the powerful warriors agrees!" The Ultimate Animal-Breeder exclaimed, then clicked the bicycle.
The floor beneath Sonia disappeared, making the yellow creature fall off the screen. Suddenly, the same image of the bicycle appeared on screen, larger then when the two first saw it, and flipped upside down before the circles became blades.
Hajime started laughing as the sounds of blades cutting through air came from the computer, and blood started to paint the screen as Sonia was sucked down and sliced repeatedly.
Gundam's shriek of surprise cut through the air.
"That's... supposed.. to happen...!" Hajime gasped between pants of air. "It's okay... Gundam...!"
His companion didn't seem to be taking his words to heart. Fingers twitching as he placed them over his mouth, staring at the screen with surprised eyes as the pieces of Sonia floated through the black abyss while the credits played.
All the pieces floating into a can and the metal was stamped over it, with a small label of 'Sonia'.
"... What kind of dark magic is this?!"
"It's a game, Gundam, you'll be fine..." Hajime said, having finally recovered from his laughing fit. They were taken back to the menu screen, where yellow had been replaced with a gray head covered in blood. "Oh, I didn't know that happened..."
Gundam blinked once. Twice. A third time.
Then slammed the computer shut, got up, and left the room.
"Gundam! I said, it's just a game! I didn't mean to upset you! Sorry!"
