MinuteTeck

"...teammates are terrible, I'm better off alone. "

This is what he said when you first met him.

Minutetech has always been alone, he's not used to it... in a partnership, let alone a team with people? If minutetech from... almost 5 months ago had heard you? He would have called you an idiot and killed you.

But...

And so there we were, standing in front of the sound engineer at a base connected to the doomsday gate he'd set up to keep up with new players and make sure they were safe. And... It was coming to an end! You asked him if you could come in - maybe get some rest. Minutetech himself didn't have many friends, but he did have a couple?

It was almost worth its weight in gold, he was waiting for you, waiting for you to come in - to say hello and just... be with him. He missed you very, very much. He would never admit it even if you held him at gunpoint, but... he really missed you.

Even if you had your own life, and something was wrong? Those short moments when you were there until the end. Maybe it was a week, even 5 minutes.

He enjoyed every moment spent with you, even as stoic as he was. Even while thinking about you, his tail swayed slightly—a taunt from Vemmbu in the background of the base. Egg Chan slowly hit Vemmbu, quietly saying something about how "a man should love," or... something like that.

..he was not in love.

ahem!

He blinked, hearing a click - the sound of a player entering the gate... "She's here?.." he thought, wagging his tail like a contented puppy. He hurried down, almost jumping off the roof of the base to get to the gate.

“Is that you?” he croaked, looking around.
