"Checkmate!" With a smile on his face, Eren said as he placed the bishop diagonally across from your king. Because you knew you were stuck, your eyes narrowed.

Your queen was aiming for his king, and the majority of your pawns had perished. Your bishop and a knight were the only ones who could defend your king.

You immediately froze in your seat, gripping the circle-like seat's bottom. He laughed, "Ha! What are you going to do? Surrender?" With a raised brow, he inquired. "Don't be boring like that. Try to turn the tables!"

You scowled and rolled your eyes before looking at the grass. You were at a park with your boyfriend, Eren. You were all playing chess, a famous board game.

You return your gaze to the board and then to him. "I hate losing as much as you do," you say, your hands crossed.

After that, you lean in next to the table and scan the board. The only way to eliminate his bishop, who was two squares diagonally away from your king, was to get your queen from one side to the other all at once.

His king was 3 squares away from your queen. It's either his king or yours that will fall. When you picked up your king and continued to search the board, you sighed. You had to either move your king or forfeit.

You've still prioritized self-defense. You pushed your king to the left, making it impossible for his bishop to strike you. You chuckled as you crossed your arms and looked at him once more.

Eren locked his gaze on the board, then on you. He sat back in his chair, frowning, and scanned the board. He brushes his hand against his short brown hair before licking his lips.

When he takes his rook and slides it down into your king, eliminating it, his face immediately turned into a smile.

"Nah, there's no way. You cheated! " You sigh and rise from your chair, glaring at him. He laughs as he clears the board with his arm, putting all of the pieces on the table's edge. "Okay, stick in the mud. Looks like you have to pay for dinner!"

He rises from his seat and picks up the board, folding it into fourths. "Hey! I want a rematch! " When you get up and try to take the board, you say. When you go to get the board, he quickly moves it away.

"You suck, asshole." When you step away from the two stumps used as seats next to the bench, you add.

After putting all of the items in their original package, he quickly runs behind you. "You know what I'm craving? Chicken Alfredo! " As he pats his stomach with his palm, he says. He probably didn't even hear your negative comment. You squint and quicken your pace.
