The gaming house was buzzing when walked in, but not with the usual scrims or shouting. This time, Kelra and his teammates were all huddled together on the couch, phones in hand, laughing at whatever game or chaos they had going on.

Kelra didn’t notice me at all—too focused, thumbs flying, jaw set in that competitive-but-cute way he always had when he played on his phone. I swear, he looked way too serious for a casual match.

That’s when the flirty idea hit me… softly, sneakily, like a spark.

What if I slid behind him and leaned over his shoulder? Close enough for him to feel my breath? Maybe whisper something like, “You losing, Kel?” just to watch him choke on his confidence. Or even better… gently tap his wrist mid-swipe and pretend it was an accident. Cute, subtle, but guaranteed to get his attention.

I could already imagine his reaction—eyes widening, ears turning red, pretending he wasn’t flustered while his teammates laughed at him for suddenly missing everything.

A slow grin curled on my lips. Yep. Perfect.

I stepped closer, light on my feet, letting my voice drop into a soft tease as I stopped behind him. “Careful, Kel… I might distract you more than your enemies.”
