26. arcade

George POV

Shortly after this occurrence, Corpse left. He drove back home and, like before, didn't let anything be heard from him. It was nice to see him again, but we both had our own lives that would never mix. In a few years we would just be a little memory in each other's mind. I doubted very much that we would ever have much to do with each other again.

Nick came back the same day and stopped by to see us. We didn't talk much, and Clay and I also spent the rest of the day in bed, cuddling. Clay told me about his progress in Minecraft. It was really cute how his interest in it grew.

Speaking of Minecraft, within the next week I started streaming on twitch. I mostly did speedruns or minigames on public servers. I didn't attract that much people, my highest viewer count was 10 maybe.

I called myself GeorgeNotFound. Clay had come up with it. He googled ideas for usernames and one of the pages got taken down or whatever and said '404, not found', so our dear creative Clay of course had an idea.

"Stream with facecam, I tell you", he said while chewing his steak at the dining table, "Once the people know what you look like, they're gonna be obsessed with you."
"But I want them to watch me because of my content, not looking", I sighed, finishing up my food.
"I'm just saying."

"Hey, I distracted, "I thought we maybe could go to the arcade before school begins again."
"Good idea, I'd like that, sure", my boyfriend smiled.
"Tomorrow? We could also ask Nick and Karl to come with us", I suggested.
"Sure."

---

"I won again, idiots!", Nick jumped up, dancing around weirdly while cheering.
"Congrats, you can shoot zombies better than us", I rolled my eyes.
"And I was better at Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Astro Blaster,-", Nick rattled down.
"But", I interrupted him, "Clay was way better at Dirt 5 and punch out."

"That's because he's a good driver and incredibly strong, okay?!", he tried to defend himself.
"Well, I have beaten you guys at 3 games already too, so", I smirked, crossing my arms.
"I haven't won any yet", Karl glanced at the floor disappointed.

"Let me teach you!", Nick grabbed his boyfriend by his wrist and dragged him away from me and Clay.
"Let's meet up in an hour here again", he just quickly yelled to us before disappearing behind a corner.

"Uh, alright", I blinked after him, Clay to my left.
"Hey, wanna make a deal?", I heard my boyfriend smirking.
"A deal?", I turned to face him.
"Yeah. We're gonna play 5 games. If I win the most, I'll get a wish and if you win, you get one. Hm?", he suggested.

"Well, why not", I grinned.
"Let's choose alternately. You can begin, so you'll be able to at least choose the last game after I completely destroyed you", he smirked broadly.
I raised an eyebrow before rolling my eyes.
"You have no idea what I'm capable of", I returned the smirk.

"Alright, prove it baby boy. Choose", Clay crossed his arms, looking down at me.
"Baby boy?", I made a disgusted face.
"Choose", my boyfriend sighed.

"Okay...", I looked around, "...Tetris."
I pointed at the slot machine with the huge Tetris logo on it.
"Tetris? Really?", clay raised an eyebrow.
"Yeah", I smirked.

So we played three rounds. We agreed on doing that for every game, so we'd first of all spend more time and secondly would make it more exciting. If x wins the first round and y the second one, the third round decides. If x or y wins round 1 and 2, he automatically won without playing a third one.

I won the first one. As expected. I was really good at Tetris, I played it a lot with my dad when I was younger.
"I can do better. I have quick reactions and fingers, you know?", Clay smirked, getting ready to put the next coin in.
"Yeah, yeah", I rolled my eyes with a smile.

The second round was actually won by Clay. However, only because I was inadvertently inattentive for a moment and had screwed up a block.
"I told yaaaaa", he celebrated himself.
"Second round's gonna be mine tho", I cracked the bones of my fingers and pushed in the coin.

And as I had said, I won.
"One of five goes to me", I grinned.
"Yeah, but I gotta choose the next one", Clay smirked, letting his gaze wander over the room.
"This one", he eventually pointed at a spot machine that said 'Commando', looked like a shoot game.

"Alright", I said as we walked over to it and played our 3 rounds.
Clay won the first two rounds. He was better at shooting than me.
"1 you, 1 me", he grinned, leaning against the machine.
"This one", I pointed at my chosen game, being black with white jagged lines over it.
'Asteroids'

Clay won the first round, I the second one. The third one was insane, we both were good at that game. But in the end I turned out to be slightly better.
"Oh, yes baby!", I cheered at myself when Clay died.

"I wanna hear that again tonight. But with a different attitude and expression", my boyfriend smirked, letting go of the controls.
"You're not pissed you lost???", I frowned.
"No, because I'll win the next one", he grinned, pointing to a fucking racing game.

"Ugh, come on. I don't have a driver's license. I can't fucking drive Clay. That's not fair", I huffed.
"But it's my choice, isn't it?", he raised an eyebrow, his smirk not fading.
"I guess....", I mumbled, walking over to the machine with a pissed expression.

And of course I lost. How annoying.
"So, what's gonna be the last game? I'm so excited for that wish you'll do for me", Clay rubbed his hands, grinning at me, up and down.

"Pong", I smirked.
"Pong? Are you serious? That's annoying", he groaned.
"Yup", I walked to the machine.

And as if I would've predicted it, I won.
"What? No!", Clay's mouth opened, staring at the screen.
"Boom!", I laughed at him, "Who's gonna do that shitty wish now, huh?!"
"Okay, okay", he grumbled.

"So, you know something yet?", he raised an eyebrow, hiding his hands in the hoodie pockets.
"You remember that skirt, right?", I smirked.
His facial expression showed his whole reaction. Shit.
