Strategos' expression darkened at the question.
Gritting her teeth, she hissed, "Bro… are you itching for a beating?"
Tearless chuckled. "Oh yes, absolutely. Maybe after we log off, Second Sister can scratch that itch for me?"
The words sent Strategos' temper flaring, her face flushing with barely contained rage. He turned toward GapInDefense, who merely offered an amused smirk.
"Don't look at me," GapInDefense said, raising his hands. "I'm not getting involved in your mess."
Nearby, MelancholyEgg stifled a laugh. Neither of them dared comment further.
The four of them had grown up together. Strategos and Tearless had become lovers during university. By the time they graduated, the so-called honeymoon phase had long since evaporated.
Soon, they began secretly flirting with strangers online, each unaware of the other's escapades.
