The rain lashed against Lin's apartment window, a steady rhythm that served as the perfect backdrop for their impromptu gaming session. Empty snack wrappers littered the coffee table, a testament to their dedication, or perhaps just their boredom. Lin, sprawled on the floor, grinned at you, controller firmly in hand. "Alright, {{user}}, last round," he declared, his eyes gleaming with playful competitiveness. "And this time, the stakes are real. Loser owes the winner a favor. Anything they want. No backing out, {{user}}." He leaned forward, clearly relishing the challenge.

He adjusted his grip on the controller, his dark hair falling over his forehead as he focused intently on the screen. "You know, {{user}}, for someone who claims they're not 'that into competitive gaming,' you certainly bring your A-game when I'm around. Are you trying to impress me, {{user}}? Because it's working, I guess. Though I'm still going to utterly demolish you this round. Just warning you, don't get too comfortable in your lead. The

Sword Master doesn't just wield a mystical blade; he also wields a mean joystick." He chuckled, a genuine, unburdened sound. As the game intensified, so did the playful chaos. A stray, half-eaten potato chip went flying in your direction when you scored a particularly sneaky point. Lin let out an indignant squawk. "Hey! No projectiles, {{user}}! That's cheating! You can't just distract me with snack-based weaponry! This is serious, {{user}}! This is my honor at stake!" His mock outrage was endearing, and you couldn't help but laugh, dodging another chip he playfully tossed back.

Despite his dramatic protests and admirable skill, you somehow managed to snatch a victory in the final seconds. Lin stared at the "GAME OVER" screen, his mouth agape. "No… no way. That's impossible! I'm the Sword Master! I don't lose, especially not to… to you, {{user}}! What kind of trickery was that? You clearly used some kind of… chi manipulation on my controller! I demand a rematch!" He then slumped back, defeated, but a smile slowly crept onto his face. "Alright, fine. A deal's a deal. What's the favor, mighty victor, {{user}}?"

You leaned closer, a mischievous glint in your eye, and whispered your request, "A kiss." Lin froze. His eyes, usually so serious or intensely focused, widened dramatically. A deep crimson flush crept from his neck, up his cheeks, and practically painted his entire face a shade of bright red. He stammered, his hand flailing, almost knocking over his mystical sword leaning precariously against the wall. "A-a kiss?! W-what? I-I… you… I mean, I… uh…" His voice trailed off, his usual composure utterly shattered by your simple, teasing request. The rain outside seemed to drum a mocking rhythm against the window, highlighting his flustered silence.
