Moss sat in his pink gaming chair, one striped sock propped up on the seat while the other dangled on the floor, kicking occasionally to spin back and forth. He wore nothing but a pair of white panties and those thigh high socks, his nipples pierced with little heart shaped rings. A headset sat on top of his hair which spilled loose down his back. A white and pink choker laid around his throat, a little padlock dangling from the center. "Fuck off, prick." he said, his light feminine voice colliding with the loud aggressive asshole on the other end of the headset.
This is what you get when you play shooters in a public lobby with randoms. It would be an insult to call it Anarchy that ensued, when it was 90% stupidity.
"Keep your FF to yourself, faggot." the masculine voice growled in return. Totally unoriginal.
"Yeah yeah, if you didnt step between me and my kill, you wouldn't have got a bullet to the head."
"How about you get out of the game and go do something you're good at, like sucking your moms dick."
"Maybe you actually have a good K/D ratio if I sucked yours. I'll share some of this talent with you." He retorted, enjoying the fallout when he made straight homophobes uncomfortable.
"I dont want any of your fuckin rainbows over here." His retort dissolved into cursing as he was downed. Moss found him in the corner of a blown out room, the walls riddled with holes. "Want me to help? Suck my dick first." he said, spinning around and shooting another enemy that came around the corner. He dropped over his teammate several times, teabagging him before he healed him.
"Fuck you, faggot."
Moss sighed. "You said that already. Try again, I'll give you a freebie."
As far as public lobby banter went, it was mild. This guy clearly wasn't as bothered by him as he let on, because they stayed on the team and they all ended up placing 4th in the weekend tournament. No thanks to that guy. Moss got the VIP label for basically carrying the game and he slid off his flashing cat ear headset, getting out of his chair and crossing through the ensuite bathroom to drop onto the king size bed they dominated the place.

Connor swayed on the bus, gripping the overhead bar. He was seated, but a pregnant lady AND a blind guy with one leg both got on at the same time with only one seat left to spare. They had looked at each other, well... She looked at him, and had resigned to standing even though she looked ready to pop and her ankles had probably been lost down there for awhile. Instead of making a big deal, he stood, and touched the blind man on the elbow, offering him his own seat in a hushed tone, and jerking his chin at the other empty seat. She sighed, looking exhausted and grateful as she lowered into the seat shed originally given up on taking, giving him a grateful smile.
He smiled and nodded, "My stop is soon anyway." he said, subconsciously rubbing his thigh. His own below the knee prosthetic was starting to bother him, as high tech and comfortable as it was. But it was hidden beneath baggy jeans and a boot so besides a small limp, it was hidden.
He hopped off the bus at the stop which was just a few doors down from his parent's townhouse. He climbed the stoop with a wince and stepped inside, hanging his jacket on the hook.
The inside of the townhouse was pristine. Copy and pasted straight out of a beige housewife catalogue, everything was in its place. The chairs on spindly legs didnt do for lounging - it barely even did for straight backed sipping of tea. It made him uncomfortable.
He began his descent into the lower level where he and his brother lived. It was a nanny apartment, so it had its own kitchenette and two bedrooms both attached to an ensuite.
This space was more his style. lounging chairs, recliners and even a beanbag sat in the living space. Though the kitchen was themed and decorated, there were boxes of cereal on top of the fridge and bowls in the sink.
He turned towards the first bedroom where he dropped down on the bed. Moss was already lounging on it, wearing as little as possible. "Have a rough day?" he asked, his gaze skimming down his brothers form.
They were identical twins, but they couldn't be more different in personality. And because of their personalities, Nurture beat Nature in terms of their body types. Connor was like most guys. Well, a bit more than most guys. He ran, he worked out, he played basketball at the park - the very reason his leg was so sore today. He was broad shouldered and hefty man. If he had the diet and persistence of a weight lifter, his strong abs would be much more visible. But he had a healthy veil of fat that rounded out his muscle definition.
Moss was the opposite- he was slender and lean. He worked out, but with focus on movement and flexibility rather than strength and size. His V definition around his pelvis was more defined, but he was much smaller than Connor, despite being the same height.
He slipped off his prosthetic, revealing a stump below his knee, which he tucked close to his body as he moved to cross his legs. Moss crawled along the bed to him, laying down flat and slipping his head under Connors arm, nuzzling his side. He ran his hands along his brothers injury, massaging the cramping muscles of his thigh, soothing away the hurt. Connor groaned and Moss mewled against his side.
"Asshole in the tournament couldn't shoot for shit. Cost us 3rd. If I didnt have to carry his dumb ass, and half the party I would have gotten first. Prize was $500 per player for first." he grumbled.
"And What did you win in 4th?" Connor asked, smirking down at his brother before laying back along his body. He pulled his shirt off and tossed it to the side.
"Fifty bucks." he grumbled. "Fifty lousy American dollars."
"Well c'mere. I can make you feel better. I can't have you dragging my soul down with you." Connor opened his arms and Moss slipped into his embrace, folding his hands on top of his chest and rested his chin on his hands. They always felt like they were two halves if the same whole. Despite their differences, they could feel each other in an intimate way that others couldn't comprehend. They called it their Tether. An invisible force that stretched between them no matter were they were. Connected since the moment they began to share a placenta in the womb.
"How did Ally work out?" Moss asked as Connor ran his hands through his hair, making him moan softly.
"I dont think shes the one, Mossy." he said with a sigh. "I tried sussing her out a bit to see if she would date two halves, but beyond the comment about accidentally mixing up twins bring 'hot', but knowing that would never happen with us cause... you know... I don't think she would fit our lifestyle."
Moss gave a pout. "I liked her. She was nice."
"I know Mossy. But we will never find someone to love both of us if you stay cooped up all the time. We should try that bar I told you about."
