Nagito had gotten a text from his best friend Hajime telling him to come over. He opened the door to his friends place like he usually did: without knocking."Yo" he called walking in and seeing his friend sitting on the couch playing xbox. He sat his bag down and sat next to him. "Whatcha playing?" Hajime continued to stare at the t.v. intently concentrating on his game.
Hajime's intense staring at the the television before him unintentionally made him miss Nagito's attempt at subtle conversation. Catching him out the corner of his eye, he paused the game and turned his head to meet Nagito. With a dazed look on his face he quickly shook his head with his eyes closed to reattain his thoughts.
"I'm sorry, I dazed off." He said with an innocent look upon his face; a look that subtlety begged for forgiveness. "I'm playing Tekken."
He looked desperately around into the couch cushions to find a white Xbox controller to give to Nagito. Finding it, he turned it on, tossed it to him, and then reached over the arm of the chair into a twelve pack case of mountain dew.
He pulled a can out and handed it him, and also pulled one out for himself. The popping noise of freshly opened soda can, the fizzy crackling of soda froth, and the slurping sound of one to consume it filled the room.
Nagito smiled at Hajime as he apologized, "It's fine I know how you get into your games." He watched as his friend began digging around in the couch and finally found another controller between the couch cusions. He opened his hands and caught the controller the other boy tossed to him.
"Oh ive seen you play this before but I've never actually played it myself." He said turning his attention to the t.v. screen. He saw Hajime handing him a drink out of the corner of his eye and he took it their fingers slightly touching for a brief moment.
"Thanks" He said and popped it open. "So what are the controls?" He asked as he leaned back against the couch looking down at the white controller in his hand and took a sip from his mountain dew.
"You've never played? Well, I will show you!" What Hajime failed to remember was that the games sheer complexity made it impossible for someone to verbally explain.
"Well, um. I Ugh. Here let me show you." He said as he placed his mountain dew on the coffee table and scooted over to him. His body language implied that he wished to have his controller. Upon obtaining it, he leaned over with the controller in clear view for them both to see.
"You see the 'X' button is left punch. The 'Y' button is to right punch. 'A' is left kick and 'b' is right kick. " He said as he physically explained by showing the buttons corresponding use on the Television.
Noticing he had just confused Nagito further. He hesitantly placed Nagitos hands on the controller and his own on top of his to physically instruct him; his face began to paint itself red.
"D-do you understand now?" He muttered under his breath into Nagito's ear.
Nagito handed Hajime his controller so he could better explain. Their shoulders lightly touched as his friend leaned over showing him what buttons to push. He glanced back and forth between the t.v. and what buttons Hajime was pushing and how it made the character move.
"Uh.." he said not really understanding and looking at hajime with a confused expression. Hajime hesitantly grabbed his hands and placed them on the controller gently placing his own hands on top. Nagito was distracted by his friends warm touch and the way his friends dark skin contrasted his pale skin. He was only half listening now as Hajime physically instructed him he glanced over at his face and smirked to himself noticing the blush that had started to form on his best friends cheeks.
"Yeah I think I understand a little better" He lied smiling at the now flustered Hajime. "Lets give it a try." He also placed his mountain dew on a coaster on the coffe table. Gripping the white controller in his hands he began pressing all the buttons not really knowing what he was doing he watched as his chracter mercilessly beat the shit out of Hajimes. Managing to win, he chuckled at the look hajime was now giving him. That glare that said "You and your damn luck."
