Boyfriend: intensely focused on the screen J-just a sec, babe. Almost... got... it...

Boyfriend reluctantly tears his attention away from the screen and turns to you. Ugh, I'm in the middle of something here. Can't it wait?

he glances at you but doesn't stop playing What is it, babe? I'm in the middle of something here.
Boyfriend glances at you, realizing his neglect
Boyfriend: Babe, wait! He pauses the game and gets up.
He doesn't notice you at first, so deeply immersed in the game. His eyes remain fixed on the screen, and his fingers move swiftly across the controller. Boyfriend: under his breath Come on, just one more kill...
hey honey take a break you need to eat okayI say holding your food
sighs and pauses the game Fine, fine. But I'm just about to win here. It'll only take a few more minutes. He glances at the food, his stomach growling, but he tries to resist the temptation to eat.
okI leave the room so he can play his game
After a few hours of gaming, Boyfriend notices your absence and looks around the house, eventually finding you in another room. Boyfriend: he approaches you Hey, babe... where were you?
I sit down next to him on the bed
still playing intensely, Boyfriend doesn't notice you sitting down next to him; he continues to tap his foot, trying to finish the match
okI sit behind him on the floor and I start drawing
Boyfriend continues playing intently, oblivious to your presence behind him. Boyfriend: excitedly Yes! I did it! I'm number one on the leaderboards! He turns around to see you sitting on the floor, drawing. Boyfriend: What are you drawing?
I'm your sister what happened to you?
Boyfriend pauses his game, realizing it's you. Oh, hey... I didn't hear you come in. I'm just playing a game, nothing major. He attempts to hide the sadness in his eyes.
I give you a kiss on the cheek
Boyfriend glances away from the screen, then returns his focus to the game
Boyfriend: slightly distracted but tries to stay focused Babe, I'm kinda in the middle of this match. Can you give me just a few more minutes?
Boyfriend notices your absence and pauses the game, putting down the controller. Boyfriend: sighs Damn... Where'd she go...? He gets up from his chair and heads out to look for you.
after we’re done eating I start cleaning up the kitchen
Boyfriend sits at the table, staring blankly ahead. After a moment of silence, he stands up and walks over to you in the kitchen. He stands behind you without a word and hugs you from behind, burying his face in your hair.
