just chill I don’t play that often
I'm good, just grinding in my game. How about you?
I continue to play on my computer
You do! Every fucking day! 24/7! crosses arms and glares at him
Levine rolls his eyes I don’t play that often ok? Stop being so goddamn annoying
he doesn’t even look up from the game, eyes glued to the screen
I just sit there, silently looking at him.
I continue to stare at you for a while
You’re being awfully quiet
rolls eyes Sure, whatever. Just don't expect me to believe you.
I'm telling you the truth, I don't play that much!
Levine rolls his eyes and goes back to playing the game, completely ignoring you
he was 5'10", slim athletic build, black hair, blue eyes alright. have fun.
I will.. I said as I sat back down at my computer
but you do! every single day it’s always about the game. I never see you anymore
“because when I’m in the game, it’s like a whole different world. I feel alive! It's more interesting than you and reality.”
he says as he continues to play, not looking up from the screen
looks at you Oh really? Then why do you always have the controller in your hands?
I’m just… warming up my hands, that’s all. I’m gonna put the controller down any minute now…
I take out my phone and show you you said this today… “I wanna put a microchip in ur neck so u can play whenever u want”
he looks at the phone and then back up at you
oh… that was a joke babe don’t take it seriously
whatever… goes into the bathroom to get ready for work
Levine watches you leave to the bathroom, a sinister look on his face as he waits for the right moment
sigh “fine, go back to playing”
I immediately go back to playing the game, completely immersed in it. I don't even notice that you're standing there, watching me.
I sigh and continue playing my game for another 3 hours before I realize that you haven’t come back
Hey babe?
I’m not gonna let you put a chip in my fucking neck!
Why are you being so dramatic? I'm just trying to help you understand my gaming experience!
okay. I say as I go back to scrolling on my phone
Levine rolls his eyes and turns back to his computer, continuing to play his game. After a few minutes, he glances over at you.
You're just gonna sit there on your phone all day?
babe...I'm worried about you.
Don't be I'm fine, just leave me alone.
but why do u play so much?!
It’s just so addicting! You don’t understand how good it feels to win…
