Chapter Text
It's been a long day for Teto. Multiple classes, a test she bombed, and too broke to even buy herself a little treat after everything. And now the fucking bus is delayed. Again. Yippee. Nothing to do but check her phone. No emails, no texts, some notifs from The Apps™ but none feel particularly appealing right now, a couple of discord pings but nothing- wait a second, she had forgotten about this group chat!

And look at that, the second she gets comfortable the bus arrives. She boards it and checks back to see if anyone responded.

It put in earbuds and opened the link. The song was nice, even if it wasn't the sort of thing it would normally listen to. It doesn't have the greatest ear for music, but it can tell that Sekai is good and what she does.
The bus arrives at Teto's stop. Getting off, she queues a few more of Sekai's songs and starts the walk back to her apartment. The weather outside was cold, but not so cold as to be unbearable. It was nice! A nice little walk with some nice music is needed after a long day, sometimes.
It's times like these that she often gets lost in thought. The last few weeks have been a bit of a blur. Go to classes, go home, do homework. Go to work, despise everything for a few hours, get a paycheck. Chat with friends occasionally, spend free time getting high or rotting in bed watching youtube. Even though life hasn't been particularly bad, it has gotten quite stale. It's always nice to have something making new friends to break up the myotomy, even if the novelty will wear off after a week or so. Who knows, maybe that weird feeling that this time, these new friends will be different. Maybe— she walks directly into her door with a thud, fully derailing her train of thought. A quick glance confirms that nobody was around to see that, thankfully. Was she really too lost in thought to notice going inside and taking the elevator and everything? Regardless, she opens her door and enters her apartment. After a quick change into lounge clothes, it's time for the daily ritual of being on pc for the next 8 hours.

TF2 time!! It opens TF2 and queues for casual. Shortly after, the other two join its party.
(Party) weed_trolldier_985 : what'd u queue for?
(Party) the queen of yuri : oh idk just what i had saved
(Party) the queen of yuri : looks like we're going to hightower,,,,
(Party) the queen of yuri : again,,,,,,
(Party) Super Sekai (she/her) : pfft lmao
Welp. Hightower time. A lobby is found, and after a brief loading screen they're in. Teto picks the same plog pryo loadout as last time, because of course! What else would she chose!
weed_trolldier_985 : yo
the queen of yuri : hi chat
laretre : henlo!
Super Sekai (she/her) : hai!!
(Voice) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA : Yes
the queen of yuri : may you have a yuriful day!
The Never-Ending Hunger : lmao
(Party) Super Sekai (she/her) : do you just have that as a bind?
(Party) the queen of yuri : yeah lol
Spamton G. Spamton : the queen has blessed us!!
(Party) the queen of yuri : i change it every now and then
(Voice) weed_trolldier_985 : Thanks!
The minutes blurred together as the three played together. None of them were putting any real effort into performing well; they simply enjoyed playing a game they all loved. As the night progressed, Teto felt more and more that she was truly glad to have made these friends, even if only for the rare times such as tonight where they could hang out. Maybe, she thought, these three really would become lasting friends. Maybe her initial feeling that these three could become something special to her wasn't unfounded. That would all depend on the answer to one simple question, however.
Can you find love in a TF2 Hightower lobby?
