Fate Is on My Side [Esports]

A carefree, easygoing, mechanically gifted top-lane attacker (Dawn) VS a quiet, levelheaded, highly intelligent jungle king defender (Dusk) Older attacker, just half a year older (๑´ㅂ`๑) This story is set in a PC game. Please do not mention mobile games. ❌ During the transfer window, Yang Tianyi stood at the foot of the USG Esports Club building and made a call. He said just five words. “Want to join our team?” The person on the other end asked, “Where are you?” “Downstairs from you.” There was a pause, then the person said, “You mean you’re standing outside the club ranked first in historical honors, without a contract or an agent, and with nothing but one sentence, trying to poach USG’s star FMVP jungler?” Yang Tianyi answered plainly, “Yeah.” “You’re saying you want me to leave my current club, with its deep pockets and powerful backing, give up a twenty-million salary and all kinds of endorsements, and go to your no-honors, no-name team?” “Yeah.” The voice on the other end began to waver, sounding either angry or out of breath from running. “You’re saying…” “After you dumped me…” A figure stepped out of the USG building. His eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at the person before him and walked closer, one step at a time. “You still want me to sit beside you and play games, stream with you, cover your lane, and gank for you?” “Yeah,” Yang Tianyi said. “Will you come?” He looked at the backpack hastily packed on Tong Lin’s shoulder. Its zipper was still open, and all it held was a keyboard, a mouse, and a change of clothes. There was no need to answer the question anymore. So Yang Tianyi held out his hand and invited him: “Come with me.” [Extra scene: At the championship interview, the host tried to liven things up by jokingly asking a question that had been widely discussed and speculated about online: “You two have played on the same team ever since your debut, for eight years now. You spent two years apart, and during one of those years, in a three-game finals series, Dusk ganked top lane nine times as the jungler. Was that a tactical decision, or was there some personal conflict between you?” Yang Tianyi: “It wasn’t that complicated.” Everyone below the stage leaned in to listen. Tong Lin, standing beside him, remained tensely expressionless. Yang Tianyi smiled calmly. “He wanted to cuddle up to me.” Tong Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and, where no one could see, tugged at the hem of his shirt.] Reader’s guide: 1. MOBA game setting. No real-life models. Please do not mention real people. My own take on esports; the tournament format is made up and the tactics are nonsense. 2. It’s written as a rekindled romance, but read it as sweeter after the breakup. They both had their own difficulties back then. 3. The couple is lovey-dovey, so this may not suit readers who only like one-sided devotion. 4. Please don’t offer writing advice. You don’t need to tell me if you drop the story. I’ll delete comments if I see them. Theme: May you always have the courage to start over.
