Jake sat in his dimly lit bedroom, the soft glow of his computer monitor illuminating his face as he immersed himself in his video game. It was another typical Saturday night; the rhythmic sounds of gunfire and the occasional zombie groan echoed through the air as he skillfully navigated his character through a post-apocalyptic landscape. His grandmother was working the night shift, and his mother had gone out for drinks with a friend, leaving him to revel in the rare solitude.

The walls of his room were plastered with his drawings. A half-empty soda can sat atop his cluttered desk, alongside scattered snack wrappers and his trusty game controller, which felt like an extension of his hand. As he moved through each level, he felt a rush of adrenaline, a welcome escape from reality, where he could be the hero battling against the hordes of the undead. Tonight, however, he enjoyed not just in the game, but in the freedom of being home alone, the house quiet except for the virtual chaos unfolding before him.

Jake's phone suddenly began to ring, the shrill tone cutting through the noise of his room. He glanced down and saw the familiar contact photo of his best friend, Y/n. The picture captured a sunny day at the beach last summer, with the golden sand stretching out behind them and the ocean waves crashing in the background. Y/n flashed a bright smile, which most would consider too bold for a best friend's contact photo given her short skirt and large amount of cleavage on display. He paused his game, the screen going dark, and brought the phone up to his ear, feeling a mix of excitement and curiosity. "Hey Y/n, what's up?" he asked, his voice full of warmth.

"Hey. Your home right?" she asked bluntly,

"Yeah, I'm home," he said. "Why?"

"Cool. I've got snacks. See you in five minutes." She said before hanging up.

"Oh- " He let out a sigh and shook his head. Getting off his bed, he went to look in the mirror and check himself over, making sure his hair was okay. He also made sure his outfit was alright. It was just a simple t-shirt and jeans but he just wanted to look alright.

The knock on the door came a few moments later and he made his way downstairs, opening the door and letting Y/n in.

"You could have texted or something," he said with a soft laugh, stepping aside to let her in.

"I called you." She shrugged walking into his house like she owned the place.

"I meant giving me a heads up before just saying you're coming over." he teased, rolling his eyes shutting the door and following her up to his bedroom,

"Why? Not like you're busy." She laughed, kicking off her boots and tossing her jacket on the back of the chair. Revealing her outfit, a pair of black tights, a black crop top and a purple plaid pleated mini skirt that barely reached mid-thigh, her hair up in a bun with her single neon purple streak in the front.

Jake raised an eyebrow at her outfit, trying to not let his gaze linger too long. It wasn't a secret that Jake had a thing for her. But he was doing his best to ignore that and keep their friendship as it was. "Shut up," he said with a slight laugh, flopping on the bed and sitting his hands in his lap as he begged his body not to do... what he already knew it was doing.

"aww, you mad I interrupted your gaming?" She laughed tossing a bag of snacks on the desk,

"Maybe I was just at a good part of the game." he teased, eyeing the bag of snacks.

"Go on then." She shrugged sitting down beside him, "Game away,"

"... you sure?" he asked, surprised she was actually letting him play. He grabbed his controllers and unpaused the game. He started playing again, a small smile on his face as he started to enjoy himself. It helped that Y/n was sitting with him. He had gotten pretty much distracted by the game, his eyes locked onto the screen as he killed zombies and continued doing the various in-game tasks he was doing.

Slowly as he played without Jake really noticing Y/n tugged him closer. Letting Jake lay between her legs with his head against her chest, she made sure not to obscure his view while he plaid letting him rest his controller on her thigh, and she began to play gently as soothingly with his hair,

Jake got lost in the game, completely missing the feeling of Y/n slowly tugging and moving him where she wanted him, and not even noticing he was using her thigh as a prop for his controller. It was only when she began to play with his hair that he paused his game and looked over at her. He was a little surprised to find himself practically laying against her now.

"Hi." She cooed,

Jake blushed, having a hard time remembering to breathe as he looked up at her, her hand still in his hair. "H-Hi.. W-What are you doing?" he asked, slightly stuttering, feeling his jeans get tighter.

"Getting you cosy and comfy while you're playing." She smiled,

He was struggling to stay calm and keep his heart from exploding. It was moments like this that made him wish he could just... lean up and kiss her. But he held himself back. She didn't look at him that way. His voice still shook as he spoke. "I was already comfy..."

"Don't want a cuddle?"

He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts and the mental images that were playing out in his head. Images of him laying with her in his bed cuddled up with her. He let out a shaky sigh before answering properly. "I-I Didn't say I don't want it.."

"Then shut up and play your game dumbass." Y/n laughed pulling his head back down again and feeding him some gummy bears,

Jake blushed again, opening his mouth when she pushed the gummy bears to his lips. He tried to focus on the game and not the way his heart was beating like a drum. He was trying his best to keep playing, but it was getting hard now, distracted by how he was sitting, by the way, her hand was in his hair and the way she was feeding him, giving him attention. He was almost tempted to just stop the game and ask her to just blurt out how he felt. But he stopped himself. It wasn't worth potentially making things weird.

Y/n softly hummed as she played with Jake's hair cooing whenever he did things in his game. Until she laughed, "Having fun, Jake?"

"Hmmm?" He mumbled lost in how much he was enjoying this, he met her eyes and saw where she was looking and immediately he turned red, "Fuck-" He cursed trying to cover up his hard-on, "Sorry I just- I'm really comfy and laying on your chest and my hands on your thigh and I just couldn't -" He began to ramble,

But Y/n silenced him with a kiss,

"Mhppff-" He mumbled but immediately melted into the kiss, his eyes rolling back, without even thinking he let the controller drop with a thud onto his bedroom floor as he kissed back and let his eyes roll back.

She slowly pulled back and smirked at him kissing his nose, "You really think I didn't know you liked me?"

"...I Kinda just... uhhh..." he stuttered, "So... you do?"

"Yes, dumbass."

"Ummm..." He sighed happily, "I love you so much!" He groaned jumping on her to kiss her again,
