2 Years of Love~
For our anniversary (That we were suppost to celebrate on the 10th of september but the huricane postponed it ;w;) I made a story in celebration

It was a recreation of our love, but I made it in a alternate reality of earth

I hope you all enjoy reading and learning of our love, as I did living it

(Note, I also added details of my life durring the story, but in hind sight it seems forced...)


DESCRIPTION VERSION:

The high school bells rang its final bell for the week and all the kids in side. With all of them going in separate directions. One thing to note is a majority of them have a unique quality to them. They seem to resemble animals. A couple of years ago a genetic breakthrough led to the creation to hidden genetic trait humans aren't normally supposed to have. It unlocked the ability to have a second form. These second forms were that of animals and their own human characteristics. This form is able to be changed to by the person's will, but can be forced under extreme circumstance. After a few years of this breakthrough, over 98% of the world's population had access to this newfound power and many establishments to the point that schools are allowing the teaching of their newfound powers. As the kids entered their buses a particular one went up the steps of the bus, me. he was the most unique of the school. His body was covered in green scales and sported a pair of horns and wings. A long stretched tail left his backside and dragged across the ground near him. Im Arcade, The first discovered dragon of the world and i'm in my last year of high school.

I took my seat on the bus, it weakly creaked in response and awaited my return home.The bus unlocked its brakes and roared forward, the kids moving around inside. The bus driver fine with the movement as long as they did not move from their seats while the bus was in motion, but they barely followed that rule. A weasel slide right beside me and tapped my shoulder“Hey Arcade when you get home wanna hang out and play that new WWII Sim they released a week ago?” My friend asked me, his name was Anje, he was a simple 5’4 gamer that tends to get hooked by “The next big thing”. While he was a year behind me, I still treated him as a equal.
I let out a sigh and shook my head no “Sorry, but I couldn't afford it. And personally, i'm not that big on Artificial Shooters.” He let out a laugh “But you played Inlands!” I rolled my eyes, the game he mentioned was a Rpg Artificial Shooter. “You know those are two different kind of games right?” I said to him “Both games have guns and you shoot things that are trying to kill you. What's the difference?” I let out a sigh, I didn't want to deal with this kind of an argument at the moment. “Ones a story driven plot and the other has kids going through puberty, saying they will bang your mom” He laughed loudly, it was almost obnoxious if it weren't for the fact I have gotten used to it.”Well to each their own, anyway I think your stop is coming up. Call me up if you end up getting it” And with that he ducked and slid into another seat, chatting up another into playing games with him. With that I reached my stop, getting off the bus towards my home. It was a simple home, nice furnishing and had a nice pool in the back. I went inside and switched back to my human form, my scales basically melting into my skin. “Hey mom im home, im gonna go to my room” I announced and went to it. “Ok, make sure you do your homework!” She said in response. I let out a sigh and closed my door, flopping onto my bed and relaxing. I had completed my homework at school, since I always have the free time to complete it then and there. I rolled onto my back and sighed, staring up at the barren ceiling and took out my phone, browsing around till I thought about playing a game. Nowadays, you can choose to have two gaming experiences. A normal high def tv or Artificial one. With the introduction of VR tech, someone decided to one up the competition and go the extra step, AR. With the technology it uses, it's a understatement to say that it's a VR experience since it literally transports your subconscious to the game itself, with added realism. This tech was thought to be useful for teaching in schools, but the ideas they had were a bit… too much for the faint at heart. This ended up being the main focus for the gaming industry and its super realism focus. WIth the choice of using your own form or even choosing to create a new one for each game, the possibilities were boundless.

I browsed my shelf for a game to try but none of them seemed to be of any interest, to the point it discouraged me from playing anything, forcing me to go to social media for comfort. A few hours went by and I found something interesting, while it wasn't a game but a code to a server intended for AR tech. It states it was intended for those who want to chat with others of “Other” forms. I'm guessing that it's referring to our second form. I downloaded the code and left it to process on my phone. “Dinner!” I hear coming from the kitchen as my mom finishes serving everyone. I Stand up and head to the dinner table to eat, the smell of the food strong with garlic, my mom made spaghetti.

As dinner starts and I take my first bite, I hear the one thing I despise to talk about. “So how are your studies” My father decides to ask, his body in the shape of a tiger. He was the only one who chose to defy the “Humans at the dinner table” rule we have when we ate. It always annoyed me that he did that. “Of course, I make sure to complete all my work before I even get home” I said, not even looking at him. “And your grades?” It angered me that he always did this every time we are at the dinner table. “Still high as always” He crossed his arms, he never really had any real faith in me when it came to my studies, nor did he lie very well about it “Well I have high hopes for you, after all. You are representing us here as the first dragon and all that” He said, with his mouth still full of food. I finished my dinner and took it to the sink. “I'm gonna go to my room, thank you mom for the dinner” I said, giving my mom a hug and a kiss, it always brought a smile to her face when I thank her. “Of course, don't stay up late” I heard a faint conversation from my father as I close my door, how he thinks that i'm being spoiled with all the things she does for me. He keeps saying that she should get me evaluated to see if i'm even learning anything. It frustrates me how he can never trust his own son.

As I sit back onto my bed I remember that I had set the code to process on my phone and I put it to my AR system, thanks to my mom, she had saved up enough to get me one, it was a lower grade model, meaning it required you to go into a portal, which felt cloche, but I never minded. I let it load up before going in, making sure that my login was set up so that I wouldn't need to wait. I choose to use my dragon form in the server, changing it a bit so no one could really tell that it was me. With that, the portal booted up and I stepped in, my body being transformed into data and sent to the server

Within a few moments I was standing at a door with a simple handle, but no lock. I reached forth and opened the door, stepping in. With inside I saw a bunch of other users, their handles over their head and in mass of other sizes, their was even one has tall as a giant. I looked around for a nice to sit and was greeted by what seemed to be a fusion of a fox and a wolf. “Hello, welcome to TR AR Server! I hope you enjoy your stay!” And like that they were gone, off to great the next person. I found a nice seat by the poolside and took a seat. So many different things happened in the short time I was there, several fur covered users were celebrating a birthday, another user, one that I couldn't see if they had scales or fur, was clad in armor and sat by a fireplace, and some of the others were jumping and playing around in the pool. I was mostly there as a bystander watching but that changed that moment I saw someone.

He had bright blue scales, sporting two wings and a set of horns, but the one thing that stood out the most about his appearance was the paunch that he had, it seemed to stick out almost 2 feet in front of him without slowing him down. I watched him and he seemed a sad so I went over to him. “Hello, im Arcade.” I said, almost tripping over my own tail from how nervous I was. I never went out of my way to talk to anyone, they naturally when to me. “O-oh hi, im Rin.” He said, his voice low and faint. I sat beside him and looked at him “I- I was wondering” I was so nervous that the server itself decided to spend the extra data to render sweat. I panicked a bit and ended up asking him an embarrassing question “C-could you make me as fat as you?” He smiled and nodded

It was the start of a new daily cycle for me. Each day after dinner, I would spend time with him, making each other fatter. It was fun and enjoyable. Best of all, he was happy. but a few days after our first meeting we had a talk, that at first seemed like nothing, but later it meant the start of a wonderful thing. It was like the other days, I had stepped in, waited for him on the side and when he made it we would head to a private room, the AR’s equivalent to a private chat. As I was happily munching on a cake with him he tapped my shoulder. “Hey… you know I have been with other guys right?” I shook my head and gave him a smile “It's alright, i'm fine with who you are. To me, the only thing that really matter, is in here.” I press a finger into his fat, where his heart is supposed to be. I blushed a bit as I noticed that it could be misunderstood as his fat. He blushed as well, his tail wagging a bit and he smiled “You really think so?” I nodded and hugged him as we always did. “Of course” A small tear went down his face and he gave me a small kiss on the cheek, which made me blush harder. “I… I want to tell you something… but I want to ask you... are into guys?” He asked me, very shy about what he was about to say. I scratched the back of my head and said “Im pansextual, I really dont care too much of a person's gender to be honest. If I like them then I like them” That statement caused his eyes to give off a twinkle, something that caught me off guard, along with the small kiss, but this time it was on the lips. My cheeks became a bright red from the sudden kiss, but instead of rejecting it I welcomed it, giving a small kiss back “I… I really like you~” He said. I smiled softly and held him as close as possible to me “I really like you too”

Days became weeks and we continued do our stuffing games. Thankfully any kind of weight gain or physical change done to our bodies in a server gets saved separately from our real ones, otherwise people would begin to ponder whats going on. As my body in the server now weighs over 10 times my original weight and sporting a guy that sticks out almost a foot and a half. He eventually told me of a game he had been playing recently where you go hunting for large beasts. I asked my mom to get it for me for my birthday. She said we will see, but that's when my father decided…

*Ring Ring*. The telephone had rang. My mom went and answered the phone. It was my little brothers school. They called to inform her that my father had picked my little brother up. She was fine with it, but my dad hadn't mentioned that he was going to be picking him up. Hours past and my father hadn't come back, we got worried and she called him up. “Hey, im taking him up state to live with me” He had been planning to get a divorce, but this wasn't supposed to happen. I went into my room and cried, my brother had been taken from me and I couldn't have done anything to stop him. Days past and we tried everything. Talking to the cops, trying to call him, everything didn't work. Each day I went to the chat and told Rin how I felt and he comforted me all he can, and it worked.

My birthday came around and I finally did get the game. I booted up the system and let my mom know that I was gonna go to play. “Ok sweetie, can you go bring your older brother his food?” I nodded and grabbed him his plate and soda. He was currently playing on his computer in his other form, a rather strong husky. He for the most part had muscles, but he did have a bit of a belly to say the least. He thought when in this form he felt his reaction time was increased. And for the most part, he was right. He tested his reaction speed a total of 4 times, 2 times as human. 1 from being a human for the day the other from transforming back. and 2 times as a husky, same as the last rules. both from transforming into, and staying as his form allowed a better reaction time then the other two, him staying as one being the best of the options. I gently nudged him and he took off his headset. “Here is our dinner” He smiled and grabbed it real quick and put it to the side. “Thanks Arcade” He said with a grin, knowing that he could call me as my real name but choose not to. I chuckles and gently hit his shoulder “Don’t let yourself killed in the game” He nodded “Same to you bro”

I went up to my system and loaded the game, messaging Rin that I got the game and that I was loading it up
_______________________
/Arcade: Hey I got the game /
/Rin: Yay <3 /
/Arcade: I gonna start it up /
/do you want me to host /
/the room? /
/Rin: Sure :3 /
/Arcade: See you soon~ /
/Rin: Same to you~ /
/_________O_________/


I Smiled as I plugged in the room and hosted the server, messaging him the password. With that I stepped in and booted the game

As the game finally booted up it asked if I wanted to use either of my forms. As usual I chose my dragon form. The game said that my hitbox wouldn't account for my wings or other body parts and that they wouldn't work in the game. I hit the ok box and loaded into the game. After a bright light enveloped me and took me to the hub world of the game I noticed a particular dragon standing in front of me, of course before I could say anything I was tackled to the ground and assaulted with kisses “Hehe, hi Rin~” I giggled and kissed him back “Hey sweetie, ready to try out the game, this game they had enough in the budget to run the game with time modifier.” I nodded, I remember looking into the game earlier and noticed they had put a modifier to cause the game to run faster than IRL time, meaning that 1 hour could translate to 10 hours in game. “Yup, I think the game is running on a ⅓ system. so we can play for about 9 hours till I have to go to bed” His tail wagged and licked me right on the cheek “Yup! Ready to go?” I nodded and got back to my feet. “Yeah, let's get started!”

“On your left!” I shouted, the monster nearly taking a bite out of Rin’s torso. We were hunting a large beast that the game classified as a “wyvern”. It seemed to be rather aggressive in its fighting that both me and Rin had trouble finding a opening without getting hit in the meantime. We both were on low health as I dodged its most recent attack. “I'm gonna drink a potion” Rin shouted, running to the other side of the area we were in. The monster noticed this and chased after him. My eyes widened as I saw it do this, I charged along the beast with my trusted weapon, A hammer, in hand. I needed to make sure Rin didn't get hurt. It lunged into the air to attack and I did my last ditch attack to stop it, I span around, building up momentum and chucked my hammer at it. It was about to bite Rin's head off before… *WACK!* The hammer landed right into its face, knocking it out and making it fall right beside him. He fell in surprise as it crashed beside him. I went over to him and offered him a hand up “Are you alright?” I asked, even tho I can see his life bar. He pulled himself up and kisses me deeply,staring right into my eyes. This caused me to blush really bright, my virtual heart pounding hard as I held the kiss. We were notified with a victory screen and a list of our rewards. As I reached for the leave for hub world option, Rin clicked the stay button. I stared at him, blushing deeply. “Let's set up camp, we have about 3 more hours till you have to go. I blushed even more as I agreed.

We set up a little tent at the highest point in the map with a clear view of the sky. Thanks to the games in time mechanic, the day slowly became night and the stars came out. I started a campfire and took off my armor, relaxing from the cold of the night. I look back and see Rin in a comfortable clothing set from camp, but it seems the game didn't program to have a larger size as I can still see his gut poking out. A soft chuckle came from my maw as I see him try to push the shirt down into his pants to completely equip the shirt, causing him to blush a bit. I take out a small left over tarp and lay it beside the campsite and ate some food with him, giving him the larger portion of the meat to help support his ample figure. After we ate I told him to lay beside me, he blushes and nodded, complying with my request. With a quick motion and put out the fire with a small bit of clothing. As the game is made to allow clothing to burn from fire breath, the cloth smothered the fire and put if out. He blushed as all the stars in the map were now visible. I smiled softly and kissed his cheek, gently holding him close. He blushed really hard as I did this, which let me chuckle softly.

We stayed like this for almost a hour before we talked again. “Hey Arcade… C...can I ask you a question.” Rin said, almost sounding shy about what he wanted to say, well, if he wasn't brighter than a fully ripe tomato. He smiled at him and said “Of course, you can ask me anything”. He blushed harder and held out a small box “W...will you make me the happiest dragon in the world?” I blushes really hard, unsure how to responded. He was one of a kind, sweet, charming, had no problem saying what was on his mind, and had the gut that would put others to shame. I gently grabbed his hands and looked into his eyes. “I'm sorry, if I say yes I wouldn't be able to. Cause…” I kissed him deeply and held him close “You have just made me the happiest dragon~” His eyes widened and teared up, holding me tightly “I love you Arcade” “I love you too Rin~”

Months had went by, my time with Rin filled with love and exploration. It was the best time of my life as I could spend my happiest time with him. Then he came back again. There was a knock on the front door. And we opened it to my little brother. We hadn't seen him for months and had been battling a court case trying to get him back from my father, but everything kept being pushed back or the courts didn't do anything to try and help. Behind my brother was my father's truck, a semi to be exact with inside it. He was looking down at wheel as he drove off. He left a note stapled to my brothers suitcase. “Hey, I am not allowed to support him anymore… I was kicked out of my house in new mexico from my wife… she said that she wasn't going to take care of my child and that I have to do it myself. Without a home, I leave him to you” We welcomed him back to our home and hugged him, we had missed my brother for so long. He had a lot during that time, starting to catch up to both me and my older brother in height. I cried softly so that no one could hear. But I was so happy to have my brother back

Then, came the end of my senior year

It was finally time that I got my diploma and that I could earn my place among my community. I stepped up to buy my digital tickets for the private server. After many discussion of the possibilities of using AR to cut back on costs of the ceremonies, our senior year, along with several other schools to keep things cheap, we're going to be the first to test it out. We were given Digital ticket codes incase anyone was out of nearby vicinity so that they can still participate. I left a code with Rin and made sure to tell him it was going to happen during a school day

/_________O_________/ /

With that, me and my family got set up, setting the portal to be able to take the whole family. I chose my dragon form while my mom kept her human form, my older brother staying as his husky for, my little brother wasn't able to change so he chose human. With that, with me going first we went to my graduation

After going through a large wait time in limbo since this was the first time the AR was processing more than one person at a time, we spawned in at the entrance of the graduation. While it took time to load, it was worth the wait as the place looked perfect to the letter. Everything the schools could ever want in the ceremony was on point and didn't go without check… well at least everything but the one balloon stuck in the wall. Most of the other graduates decided to stand with the bugged out balloon and take pictures, this of course caught securities attention and moved them away. Since the balloon wouldnt pop, becaused they programed it so kids wouldnt ruin a single detail, they simply put security tape around it and made the object transparent in the coding.

I was rushed off to the prep room for the students becoming seniors this year and looked around, everyone was equipping their own cap and gowns and the click of a button, while others had difficulty learning the whole AR system mechanics. I naturally donned my cap and gown and was given a pop up *This equipment has been bound to you. When you leave with this and other bound equipment you will keep it with you*. I was happy to know they thought all this through so that people weren't forced to drive down to the school just to get their caps and diplomas.

After waiting what seemed a few hours we headed out, each of us given our own visual hud to guide us to our seats. with that. the final speeches were spoken, talking about creating a greater future for our kids and that they have the power to create a better future for their own children. As the names were called up. I saw my family in the back row, cheering me on with banners saying my name. I noticed that everyone in my row just got up, I guess i'm up now. I stepped up and took my graduation pictures and waited for my call. Everyone’s name and pictures were shown up on a large projection. As I was on my last step to grab my diploma sleeve, I felt a sense of satisfaction. Knowing that I'm the first dragon to graduate high school. “Arcade Silent. We thank you for being the first dragon to not only be apart of our school, but to exist. We hope you create a better future for your next of kin”. With that, I shook hands with the principle with one hand, and my sleeve in the other and walked down the line of familiar teachers. They asked the basic questions. Where I will go next, what's my plan for the future, and if they have anything in their teeth. I chuckled at the last one and reassured them they are fine. With that, I went back to my seat and waited for its end.

We returned to the prep room and got our official diplomas and various other things. After turning in my gown, I left with all the other kids. To our families. But their was one person I was looking for before anything else. “Mom I will be back, I need to find someone” I said as I ran past her. A smile across her face. As I ran back to the entrance I saw him. He was wearing a fancy black suit and blue tie. As with his other clothes, it was a size too small and his belly poked out a bit. I ran and gave him the biggest hug I could manage. I could finally start planning my future with him. He was my world, and I was his. He was, my fatty dragon~
