I looked at Aiden, who was currently by my side, staring intently at the TV screen, as we played together. He smashed the buttons aggressively and repeatedly, and I saw the sides of his eyes crinkle slightly from the amount of attention he was paying to the game.

I chuckled. "You're slow, Aiden."

His cheeks flamed in embarrassment. "AM NOT!"

"Are too."

"D2."

"Oh yeah?" I asked, smirking, "Watch this."

I pressed a few buttons on my controller, and watched as his jaw slowly opened in shock as I overtook him easily.

"HEY HEY, WOAH WOAH WOAH-" He said, smashing even more buttons and trying to figure out how to get back at me, "WHAT'RE YOU DOING, SHAH?!"

"WINNING!" I yelled back, focusing on the last few moves till the screen went white and a victory sign showed up.

The speakers behind the screen boomed. "YOU WON, PLAYER 2.0! Congratulations."

I pretended to mic drop the controller, then I slowly got up, tired.

I yawned. "That's how you beat someone in a savage manner."

I tried walking off and out of my bedroom door, planning to get a midnight snack from the kitchen, when I felt his hand wrap around my ankle.

"Hey, woah, woah, woah, stop right there," He said, still on the floor, holding onto my ankle, "This fight isn't over yet."

He pulled my ankle back, causing me to fall back down onto my carpet.

I laughed. "Aidenn, stop! I needa go get a snack!! I'm hungry!!!"

"Too bad," He said, pulling me towards him, "I'm hungry for revenge."

We laid on the floor for a good three seconds, stomach to stomach, just staring at each other.

"Do you know what I want?" He asked, with a low voice, wrapping his hand around my waist and another under my head.

I didn't know what to say. All I could think about was how close he was to me and how he smelt of clean laundry and spices and how his eyes were really pretty and how his hair was so soft and how his eyelashes were tickling my cheeks due to the fact that he was so close to me.

Omg omg omg, he's too close, oh gods, oh fuck, I'm fucked.

I blushed, pulled my hoodie over my head, and hid my face.

"Aruuu," He said in a sing-song voice, "Come out!! Pleeeaaassseee!!!"

I could practically hear the grin in his voice due to the fact that he was happy that he was making me blush.

"N-No," I whispered, "I'm not here. Go away."

"Okay..." He said mischievously, "If you say so.."

He let go of me and walked away. I heard his footsteps disappear downstairs and I uncovered my face from my hoodie. He wasn't in the room.

Uh oh, I don't think I made the right choice by saying that...

I went downstairs. No one was there. I shrugged my shoulders and went to the kitchen to grab my snack either way and eat it. Nobody could get in the way of me and my food. My beloved nutrition and energy was way more valuable. I finished it in less than five minutes, then started getting concerned. I couldn't hear any noise whatsoever, it was around three in the morning at this point and I still couldn't find him anywhere. Not in any room, closet, behind any door, in a large cabinet, nothing. I walked upstairs to my room, thinking he may be there, while calling out for him all the way.
