Don't Fall in Love with a Gay Guy

Cheerful office drone x cool college guy

Han Yansheng has recently become obsessed with an online game. As a free-to-play player, he doesn't have enough materials or resources, and his combat power is rising too slowly.

Luckily, increasing your Bond level earns you free material packs.

Who knew his Bond partner wouldn't do the quests properly, but instead flirted with him every day and liked sending pictures in the middle of the night? The photos showed a man in a pink dress striking provocative poses. Han Yansheng promptly blocked him, kicked him out, and ended their Bond in one fell swoop.

He'd find someone new. This time, he absolutely had to avoid GAY guys!!!

After carefully screening his options, he picked someone. The default System avatar, the default System nickname, no flashy accessories: clearly a straight guy.

The other player readily accepted his Bond request and cooperated enthusiastically as they raised their Bond level.

Chat privately every day to keep the streak going: 2 intimacy points!

Team up to fight a boss once a day: 5 intimacy points!

Send one free rose every day: 10 intimacy points!

Their Bond level shot up, and they collected free material packs until they couldn't carry any more!

Before long, the game's guild held an in-person dinner.

His Bond partner was a handsome, cool younger guy. Sitting alone in the corner, he seemed a little out of place. Though he stood out from the crowd, he gave off an unmistakable keep-your-distance vibe.

Han Yansheng arrived late and immediately slung an arm warmly around his shoulders, pulling him over to sit beside him. Acting like they were old friends, he launched into a discussion of how to grind for the newest matching couple skins for free.

The younger guy listened attentively, nodding along from time to time. His ears and cheeks turned bright red.

Han Yansheng: Is it really that hot in here?

Afterward, the younger guy asked if Han Yansheng could take him back to his hotel.

No problem. His partner had helped him raise so many Bond levels and collect so many materials. Even if he wanted to become sworn brothers on the spot, that would be fine.

When they got to the hotel, Han Yansheng went to wash his hands in the bathroom. By the time he came out, the younger guy had already taken an unopened box of condoms out of his backpack.

Han Yansheng: ??? What are you trying to do? Get a grip!

The younger guy, who'd been pushed away when he tried to kiss Han Yansheng, looked deeply aggrieved. "You call me Baby in the game. You were just talking with me about how to get the newest couple skins. Aren't we Bond partners?"

Han Yansheng: "...Wait, aren't the skins for boosting combat power?! The new couple mount skin gives you ten extra points of critical hit rate. You'd have to spend 500 to get those stats!"

A lighthearted, fluffy short story with no angst, about a sweet couple falling in love.

They dote on each other, so this may not suit readers who favor one character over the other.
