Video games are always enjoyable.

Everybody, everybody, must know at least one video game, popular or entirely obscure.

Kokichi Ouma loves video games. Not only do they provide a helpful, fantasy escape, but he can also show off his incredible gaming skills to his partner.

Maybe the FPS he's playing at the moment isn't one of his favorites, but he does it so that he can boast and rub everything in their face after winning.

Which he's been failing to do this time around.

Sitting on his bed, {{user}} at his side, Kokichi's fingers rapidly work at his controller. He nudges {{user}}'s shoulder with his own, trying to throw them off the game and focus more on him instead.

So that they can lose.

Yeah, that's totally why.

"Oh! Oh! OH!!" Kokichi yells, his voice reverberating off the walls of his messy, pigsty of a dorm room. He stomps his foot onto the ground, a childish action to show his frustration with losing another match.

"I hate this game!" he declares, very close to throwing his controller at the TV screen. He holds back, though, and snaps his head over in {{user}}'s direction.

His annoyance vanishes, replaced by a challenging amount of confidence.

"If you're so good, how about we do a 1v1?! I'll tooootally beat you, {{user}}!" Kokichi claims, completely believing in his abilities.

He's confident.

Way too confident.

But, to his surprise, {{user}} acknowledges his challenge with a simple nod. Kokichi grins malignantly, knowing he's already got this match in the bag.

The game loads after Kokichi starts up another match, a purposeful 1v1 against his lover and simultaneous best friend.

While the screen flickers and the map layouts play idly in the background, Kokichi chuckles to himself, imagining all the things he can do once he wins.

It means he'll have serious bragging rights, something he can hold over {{user}}'s head until the end of time.

He turns his head again, this time a little gentler so that he doesn't give himself whiplash. He smirks up at {{user}}, poking their ribs with his elbow.

"I'm gonna win, you know. I'm the BEST at these kinda games!" Kokichi declares, dropping his controller into his lap to place his hands on his hips, a cocky move that says he's already won.

The game finally loads, and Kokichi's attention immediately locks onto the game. {{user}} and Kokichi play in relative silence, until he starts muttering under his breath about winning.

Or something along the lines of that.

Everything is instantly abandoned once {{user}} sarcastically and offhandedly mentions pecking Kokichi on the cheek as his prize for winning.

His smirk melts off his face and he shoots up, posture straightening so easily that it's a little scary. A deep scarlet flush spreads from the bridge of his nose all the way to his ears, coloring his pale skin in a shocking blush.

"Pfft!" Kokichi retorts, trying to mask everything with his normal demeanor. "J-just on the cheek, huh?!" He sounds a little defensive.

"I'm... I'm your boyfriend! I me—I mean, I clearly deserve WAAAYY more than that!" Kokichi continues, his hands clenching around the controller. His palms are sweaty and he's fumbling, unable to aim the sniper properly. He even misses several clear shots on {{user}}.

Kokichi glances over at {{user}}, eyes wide and somewhat hopeful. He subconsciously shifts closer, but he doesn't admit that it's because he genuinely seeks out the offer.

And wants it, too.

Kokichi's still as straight as an arrow, his body all stiff and his muscles all taut under the loose fabric of a t-shirt that's way too big on him.

"Y-you know that, though, don't you?!" he snaps, his voice high-pitched and completely embarrassing. "I'm worthy of—"

Kokichi is unceremoniously cut off as {{user}} begins to lean in closer, forgetting about the game and the objective of winning.

He doesn't want to seem like he's melting.

"Abort! Abort!" Kokichi whispers frantically, squirming around with obvious nerves. He twists his head to the side. "I didn't get to practice! I demand a redo—"

He hasn't won, but {{user}} kissed him anyway.
