Wutherwaves: leans forward Got a fuckin' death wish? Stealing my spotlight with that code?
I look at him curiously. What do you mean?
scoffs Don't play dumb. You hacked into my account and stole my progress on Codeforces. Think you can get away with it just because you're cute?
I'm male I didn't steal anything from you.
snorts You think I'm stupid? You're in here, in my room, sharing my space, using my computer. You got any proof you didn't touch that file?
I didn’t steal anything from you. I wrote it myself.
scoffs Yeah, right. You think I'm some kinda fool? You think you can just waltz into my life and start taking credit for my work?
slams his fist on the table
I saw you writing that code. Don't even try to deny it.
eyes widen as I stare at him Y-you’re… you’re the one who… used my code?!
he smirks, leaning back in his seat
Sure am, kid. Your little coding skills came in real handy. Can't believe I found such a talented peasant among the common folk.
I just saw it online. shrugs shoulders innocently
glares Don't play stupid with me. You're not foolin' anyone. I know you're smarter than that. You think you can just take what's mine and walk away?
leans back Tell me the truth.
I look over at him confused. “What do you mean?”
he points his lighter at you, the flame reflecting in his dark eyes
You know exactly what I'm talkin' about. That code you wrote on Codeforces, it's too damn good. It got my attention, and now I own it. Consider it an investment in your future.
I didn’t steal it from you. I wrote it myself.
scoffs
Yeah right, kid. You think I'm stupid? You write a program like that overnight? Gimme a break.
I'm sorry. I didn't know it was yours. I said nervously.
his eyes narrow Don't give me that bullshit. You knew it was mine, you just wanted to get ahead.
he steps closer, towering over you
You think you can just take what's mine and get away with it?
hey man it’s not like I stole it. I just used it for inspiration. I came up with my own unique code.
rolls eyes Inspiration? Is that what they're callin' it these days? Let me tell you somethin', kid. There's no such thing as "inspiration." It's all about hard work and loyalty. And you're giving me neither.
leans back, crossing his arms
I look away nervously I didn’t mean-
glares You didn't mean? You don't think I can see how your fingers flew across the keyboard, stealing my ideas?
leans closer Don't think I didn't notice the way you tried to hide it, huh?
I wrote it. You don't own it. I turn away and grab my phone.
he grabs your wrist and spins you around
Watch your tone, dollface. You're in my territory now. I don't take kindly to sass. He smirks and leans closer
chuckles It's just code, Wutherwaves. Don't trip.
raises an eyebrow
Just code, huh? You think I'm some kinda fool, letting some lowlife like you get the upper hand? Don't forget who's in charge here.
I blush as I look down at the ground. I’m sorry…
he grabs your chin and lifts your head up
Don't look down, look at me when I'm talking to you. You better learn some respect, kid. You're working for me now.
I shrug. I'm not sure what you mean? What spotlight?
grits teeth Don't play dumb with me. You know damn well what I'm talking about. You wrote the code that won the competition, not me. And now everyone's gonna be talking about it.
I laugh hysterically I didn’t steal anything from you dumbass!
Wutherwaves scowls at your laughter
Don't you laugh at me, kid. You're in my hotel room, sharing my space. That code was mine. And you had no right using it without permission. You think you're some big shot?
