Recently I discovered my parents play LoL together in secrecy.
My younger brother and I were both gifted new gaming laptops last Christmas. My parents set some ground rules however. After 8pm they are to be left in the lounge room as to ensure we don’t take them to bed with us and spend the entire evening gaming.
A few evenings ago I woke up in the middle of the night and was fairly restless, I tossed and turned in bed and for the love of god could just not get back to sleep. I laid awake staring at the ceiling finally on the verge of dozing back off until I started hearing some faint noises. The noises were fairly quiet at first and seemed to be coming from my parents room. As the seconds past the noises became more clear and more frequent. It was my father and mother, and they were playing LoL!
I couldn’t make out most of what they were saying but they must of been caught in an intense team fight. I heard a lot of back a forth sighing and panting and what I assume was the banging of the mouse against bed side table.
I laid there and listened in as best I could and the noises kept ramping up and I assume the game got more intense and more intense.
It must of been slightly past the 25 minute mark at this point when all I can assume a massive team fight broke out. I suppose my father is a support main like my self as I could hear my mother encouraging him and coaching him on his Alistar play.
“Pulverise that pussy! Pulverise it”
There must have been a Yummi on the other team. I could picture the team fight in my head playing out and I started to get more frantic wondering what the outcome of the team fight would be.
“Yes baby, keep going keep going” My mother exclaimed.
They must of aced them and are now running down mid to close the game out! I can only assume my mother has just respawned and is about to TP in the enemy base to join father in killing the nexus!
“I’m coming baby I’m coming” She keeps repeating to my father “Yes keep hitting it just like that” My dad must be carrying this game from the way my mother is yelling at him in joy
“OHHHH FUCK YES DAVID” she screams!
He’s done it. My dad has killed the nexus and my parents have gained some hard earned LP.
The room goes silent and I catch my breath also after listening in on one of the most intense games of my life. I assume they didn’t que up again because in the next hour or so I didn’t hear a noise. Eventually I fall back asleep myself.
The next morning I got up out of bed and went to the kitchen to make some breakfast. My parents are sitting at the table.
We make some small talk before I have to quickly head out the door and go meet my friends. As I’m about the leave I turn to both of them and let them know I heard them last night.
I quickly pat my dad on the back and congratulate him and start heading out the door. My father has gone bright red and my mother’s mouth is wide open in shock.
I assume they are both embarrassed and completely gob smacked because they haven’t said a word and I now know they are gamers.
Just before I pull the door closed behind me I turn to my mother and exclaim “Don’t worry mum, I fucking hate Yummi too” and give her a cheeky little wink
