Horse girls helped me get irl friends?!?!

Summary:

Gloomurai (Idia) spams Muscle red (Lilia) about his new addiction. Who knew soon enough he’ll find out about his online bestie’s identity without doxxing?

Notes:

Hiiii! This is my first fic, and i am kinda nervous to post it. I got this idea yesterday and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I will definitely post another chapter soon, in about 1-2 days since my hands hurt from typing. I have the whole finding out seen figured out, I just have to write it, though I don’t know what to write later (ideas and suggestions would be nice). You dont have to know anything about umamusume, since everything needed will be in the text. Please note that this work explores the PLATONIC relationship between them, but you can interpret it how you want.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Chapter Text

Gloomurai was always so comforting to talk too, it’s surprising that someone he befriended in a game could become a dear companion to him. Every night they sat down to play raids, every now and then Gloomurai would start talking about his new interest, wich most of the time, caught Lilia’s eye as well.
Today was no different:

[Gloomurai] so i decided to check out the game everyones been posting about, you know, the one with the horse girls
[Gloomurai] i did not think umamusume was this good, i cant believe that i was missing out on absolute peak
[Gloomurai] i even watched the whole anime and read the manga thats how good the game is
[Gloomurai] even though its not my usual style of game, the strategy thinking aspects of it is absolute cinema
[Gloomurai] the songs are so good, i wanna listen to them forever
[Gloomurai] im p sure youll like it too
[Muscle red] Hello, i see someone has a new addiction, what is the game even about, i dont really use social media that much so i don’t really think i’ve heard about it.
[Gloomurai] you are absolutely missing out, it may not seem appealing but its definitely goona have an impact on you
[Gloomurai] in the game you train horses and you make them race, but the character and story design is what matters most
[Muscle red] Well i guess i’ll see what it’s about, i’ll come back in about 5 minutes after downloading it
[Gloomurai] you won’t regret it i swear

 

[Muscle red] Are the characters based on famous real world racing horses?
[Gloomurai] yeah, you noticed? all the stats are based on their real life counterparts too
[Muscle red] I just wasn’t expecting seeing my favourite horses as anime girls
[Gloomurai are you interested in horse racing?
[Muscle red Yeah i was before and also my son is in an equestrian club, so im bound to know something
[Gloomurai] son?
[Muscle red] Yeah, he’s adopted, but I still love him alot
[Gloomurai] damn how old are you
[Muscle red] I wont reveal my full age, but all i can say is that people guess really young when they see me
[Gloomurai] crazy, anyway, who’s your fav?
[Muscle red] Even though my favourite race horse in real life is Maruzenski, i cant help but love Daitaku Helios
[Gloomurai] yeah she’s cool…

 

Who knew they would keep taking about umamusume until 4 in the morning. Well, i guess its time well spent.
