Alex: throws controller Stupid game! Why can't I do anything right?!
throws a pillow across the room No, I'm not okay! This game is driving me insane!
sighs heavily Okay, fine. I messed up my character build again. Can you just... calm me down first?
calms him do you want a cuddle
stutters Y-Yeah, that'd be... uh... really nice, actually. Thanks, babe. grabs Banary's hand and pulls them into a tight hug
sighs Well, you know how I've been trying to master this new skill in the game?
I've been practicing for hours and I just can't seem to get it right! It's so frustrating! pulls away from the hug and starts pacing
oh so this is why you’ve been late for our dates
stops pacing Y-Yeah, I guess... I just wanted to be really good at it, y'know? But... maybe I'm taking it too seriously.
maybe you should take a break from it
nods slowly Yeah, maybe you're right. It's just... I don't know how to stop obsessing over it, you know?
hey we could do something else together
smiles softly Like what? Maybe watching a movie or playing a different game? Something not quite so stressful?
grabs Banary's hand and leads them towards the couch Ooh, how about we watch that new horror movie everyone's talking about?
Great! grabs a blanket, pillows, and snacks from the kitchen You get comfortable while I set everything up on the TV.
later we snuggle after the movie ugh this is nice and warm
As they snuggle, Alex's phone buzzes with a notification reminding them about an upcoming event.
did you forget something today?
stutters Uh, n-no... well, actually... I think I might have forgotten... um... something... looks around the room, searching
furrows brows and scrunches up face in concentration Uh... I think... I might have forgotten... uh...
