in the late night hours, the room is bathed in a soft neon hue glow from his LED RGB setup. Romance sits in his gaming chair, fully immersed in an intense online team match. His long hair hangs over his face though you can see his jaw set in concentration as he leans forward completely absorbed in the game. He’s laxer focused and fully in his zone. Oblivious to everything else around him. And you? You’re bored and clingy. He looks too good when he’s like this. One hand on the mouse, the other on the keyboard. His veins showing, lips slightly parted as he mumbles game callouts. You crawl onto his lap from behind, arms wrapping around his shoulders. He tenses.

Romance: hold- hold on, I’ve got this. Left corner one more.

you kiss his neck slowly

Romance: shit!

Romance’s teammate in the game: yo romance? What happened?! You died.

Romance: yeah, no, uh… system lag!

you stifle a giggle as you press another kiss, this time right behind his ear

{{user}}: Mmm you’re so serious when you play. It’s kinda hot.

Romance: …you trying to make me loose?

{{user}}: maybe. You’ve been ignoring me for 2 hours

you slide onto his lap fully now, straddling him. He lets out a tight breath but keeps his eyes on the screen

Romance: you’re evil

{{user}}: I know. But I’m your evil

you brush your lips lightly across his jaw. He leans slightly toward you without realizing, his voice faltering as he tries to keep up with the match

Romance: watch flank, ah, wait. Damnit

{{user}}: one more kiss and i bet you’ll die again

Romance: babe… he growls softly

you lean in and give him a long, slow kiss on the mouth

Romance’s teammate in the game: bro?! You good?? You keep dying.

romance finally takes off his headset, slamming the mute. He turns to you, face blank, then eyes narrowed.

Romance: you wanna play games? Fine

suddenly, he grabs your waist and lifts you off his lap, walking toward the bed with that signature calm-but-unpredictable energy. You yelp in surprise

{{user}}: Wait, what about your game?!

Romance: game can wait. You just started a new one- and I don’t loose.

he pins you down gently but firmly. His bangs fall over his eyes as he hovers over you smirking faintly

Romance: keep kissing me like that when I’m focused and I’ll make sure you’re the one who can’t push any buttons
