Isat at the table in the breakfast nook, across from the latest applicant to my incubator. The April sun was on the other side of the house, leaving us with a shaded view of the spring trees here.
This was my third time talking to Harper, and today was basically a formality. She’d already earned the spot that opened up when the first of my developers reached the point where their game was successful enough for them to move on.
Her ideas were fantastic, and I was excited to give her a chance. We were to thedo you have any questions for mepart of the interview.
“Is it true?” she asked.
I searched my brain for a point of reference in the recent conversation. “Is what true?”
“You and Fallyn…” Harper flushed and trailed off.
I hoped that wouldn’t be a problem. Fallyn, Link, and I didn’t hide our relationship, and while we weren’t fucking around the house, not when I had several other people living here, the fact that we were together was pretty in-your-face. “Is it true that we faced each other in mortal combat and fought to the death?”
“That’s what mortal combat is, yes. But no, that’s not what I heard.”
“It’s true.” As if summoned, Fallyn walked past the doorway. “Do you want to meet her?” I called Fallyn’s name.
She joined us, a tiny smile on her face. “What’s up?”
“This is Harper. She’s deciding if she wants to live in the guest house,” I said.
Fallyn grinned and extended her hand. “I’ve heard a lot about you. I hope you sayyes. The place is recently remodeled, and it’s actually really comfy.”
“So you two are actually together? It’s not just for show?” Harper asked as she shook Fallyn’s hand.
“We actually are,” Fallyn said.
I grabbed her wrist, tugged her into my lap, and rewarded myself with a long kiss.
Fallyn pressed her palm to my chest and pushed me away, but she didn’t stand up. “You’re going to give your guest the wrong idea.”
“No. This is the very right idea.”
Fallyn rolled her eyes and turned back to Harper. “I’m sorry about him. He really does know better.”
“I really don’t.” I shook my head.
Harper didn’t look bothered by any of it. “It’s wonderful to meet you. I mean, you’retheFallyn.”

Once upon a time those words would’ve made me ill. It took me months to be okay with even streaming again, and a lot of that was thanks to the support I got from Elliot and Link. They told me repeatedly that I was amazing, and while I thought that was a bit much, they also stepped in with anyone who was an asshole.
I gave Harper a short bow as I moved into my own chair. “At your service.”
“No, I’m at yours.” Harper watched me with wide eyes. “Seriously, you’re the reason I got into this. I used to watch your Phallusies videos and thinkI could do betteron all the games you broke.” She looked at Elliot. “I can’t believe you get to… I would totally…”
What? Elliot had told me he was really liking this developer, but he hadn’t mentioned anything about this. “Get to what?” I asked.
“Fuck you.” Leave it to Elliot to be direct. “She can’t believe I get to fuck you, and she totally would too if you weren’t taken.”
Harper ducked her head. “Not how I was going to phrase it.”
“Be nice.” I smacked Elliot playfully in the arm.
He gave me a withering look that didn’t hide the affection underneath. “You forgot who you were talking to.”
