Neko stared at me

"Wait but you're the one that suggested this"

"yeah I know but I just can't ok?"

"I can't just ignore it"

"it's nothing Neko really" I advert my eyes unable to meet her's

"Tell me" It wasn't a question I sighed and reluctantly meet her eyes

"fine I'm poor and my parents are basically nonexistent ok? I didn't want you to think any different of me"

"You! you really think I'm that shallow?" the indignation is painfully clear in her voice

"I'm sorr-" she interrupted me mid text

"You told bot right? When were you going to tell me?" bot jerked to this and rose to my defense

"Neko! calm down I'm the one that told him not to tell you" Neko raised an eyebrow at this

"Oh bot? could you tell me why?" bot flinched and helplessly looked at me

"it's not my story to tell" Neko started to grow cold

"So it's bros before hoes?"

"No! it's just-" Neko froze up completely

"It's fine let's just beat this and get this over with" and promptly walked away

I texted bot in a private channel

"are we good?"-SmolPanda

"us? yes your girlfriend doubtful"-Gamer_bot

"sigh"-SmolPanda

"yup you messed up bad"-Gamer_bot

"well thanks for trying"-SmolPanda

"anything bud"-Gamer_bot

He gave a reassuring look

"Hurry up" her emotionless tone was a stark contrast compared to her normal self
