You weren't sure which one your boyfriend loved better, you or his games. But so far, he was willing to lift his butt off his gaming chair to pick you up from work.. So you guessed you triumphed over games. For now. But lately, you wondered whether your judgement was true. There was this new game that had just been released and your boyfriend and his friends were making appointments to try out the game together. At first, you thought it would be just one time. But apparently, the game was so exciting and had so many tricks that they couldn't finish it in just one meeting so they decided to make another appointment to play the games again. And this time, he forgot to pick you up. He didn't even pick up his phone when you called him to find out where the hell he was when he was late to pick you up.
"You could at least text me to tell me that you can't pick me up!" you burst in anger when you were finally at home, and your boyfriend's eyes went wide, as wide as a saucer when he spotted you.
"Oh shoot!" he slapped his forehead as he jumped off his chair. "Sorry babe.." he apologized immediately but his eyes betrayed him as they darted from you and back to the computer screen, where his game was still playing.
"Oh great!" you raised your hands up in the air in despair when you saw that he was distracted by his game and he made no effort in concealing that he wanted to go back to his game so badly so you stomped your feet all the way to your bedroom. Clearly not trying to conceal your annoyance about the situation.
You slammed the door shut, but nothing happened after a few minutes. Your boyfriend still didn't chase you even though you had stormed away right in front of his nose. You huffed, feeling clearly defeated, but you were not giving up yet.
"So you're hiding in your bedroom?" your best friend's sound filled the room since you put your call on speaker. You immediately called your best friend when you found out that your boyfriend wasn't going to beg for forgiveness for neglecting you.
"Yeah! What do you think I'd do? Starting an argument with him? Right in front of his game buddies and embarrassing him? No way! I won't be that nagging girlfriend who gets angry when their boyfriend gets a little bit carried away because he's playing games."
"But he did get carried away and you have the right to be angry. He forgot to pick you up! And it's quite late," she pointed out the facts. "You're lucky you managed to get a cab and got back home safely at these hours."
You grimaced as she made some good points. Those points were worth being angry in front of his game buddies and embarrassing him. But you had already gone into your bedroom. Going out and bursting in anger now would be useless.
But then, you remembered something. Something that you saw in your social media feed a couple days ago. Apparently, having a couple accounts on social media was a thing these days. There were some couples that made a joint account and shared their couple activities in that account. Like posting their video of getting ready for a date, reels about their short trip, and the latest one, the pranks they did on their other half. There were several pranks that you had seen and every one of them were quite funny. However, you thought, there was this one prank that you thought would be fun to do to your boyfriend. Especially in this kind of situation.
You hurriedly got ready to execute the plan, searching for the right items to gain maximum effect. Once you were done with the outfit, you retouched your makeup carefully. You remembered the red lip tint that you bought a month ago and you have never worn it since you bought it. This seemed like a good chance to try it. You reached for it and applied it carefully, smacking your lips and checking the result on the mirror. Once you were satisfied with the result, you grabbed your clothes from earlier and put it back on before going back out, marching to his game station, which was on the corner of the living room.
