Laser Tag

You walked into the building, Nate already a few feet ahead of you. Once you were inside, the lighting had already become darker, replaced with various neon lights and glowing items. You spun around to look at what was in the first room. There was some machines, arcade games, and of course a happy looking Nate slowly spinning around as well, his eyes wide.

"Y/n I haven't been in a laser tag place since I worked at one, I forgot how cool they looked!"

You just smiled and quickly grabbed Nate's arm, directing him to the entrance of the actual laser tag area. You both walked inside, the room immediately becoming darker than it was before, some glowing neon light the only thing lighting the way. There were a few other kids eagerly waiting for the game to start, but they were all clearly younger than you and Nate. A person walked in who worked there, explaining how to use the laser gun and the vest that went with it. You glanced at Nate, who just nodded as if he was paying attention, even though it was clear that he wasn't. To be fair, it used to be his job to explain this to kids every single day, it must've gotten boring after a few rounds. The person stopped talking and people rushed over to where the vests and laser guns were stored. Nate's eyes met yours before you could move.

"I'm gonna win, and there's nothing that you can do about it."

He said with an evil grin. You grinned back.

"That's what you think..."

You replied, walking over to put on one of the vests. With the laser gun in your hand, you watched as Nate put on a green vest. You were wearing a blue vest, the other team's color.

"You're going down boy."

You said, aiming the laser gun at him, even though the game hadn't started yet. Nate let out a small laugh and walked into the arena, away from your view in mere seconds. You followed other people in blue suits to your main base. A few seconds after reaching the base, a buzzer went off, making people scatter. Carefully, you rushed over to the green team base. A kid in green walked by, making you quickly turn behind a wall before they could see. Quickly, you turned back and shot the censor in the back of their vest. They turned and made eye contact with you for a quick second, waiting for their laser gun to work again. Before you could get away, your vest vibrated for a second and you watched as the kid triumphantly walked away. You rolled your eyes and continued on. Two more people walked by, and you ended up getting them both before they saw you. After this came a few more kids. You were able to get three of them, one of them shooting you then sprinting away. Only then did you realize that you hadn't seen Nate yet. Just before you went out to look for him, a flash of green could be seen on the other side of the wall where you were standing. Quickly, you backed up, only then realizing that you had reached a dead end.

"Great."

You muttered under your breath. The person inched closer and sure enough, it was Nate. You rolled your eyes once again, holding your laser gun out in front of you. Nate held his arms up.

"Don't shoot."

He said to you, half sarcastic.

"Why not?"

You replied with a small laugh.

"Because I don't wanna die?"

Nate said inching closer with his laser gun out in front of him.

"Very funny Nate, but you're going down."

You held out your laser gun in front of you, your hand near the trigger. Suddenly, Nate let go of his laser gun, making it fall to the side, still attached to the vest. He pushed yours out of the way and leaned in closer.

"What are y-"

Before you could finish your sentence, your lips touched his. You both remained there for a few seconds and then pulled away. You smiled up at Nate, who already had his laser gun back in his hand. He pulled the trigger and you felt your vest vibrate.

"I win."

He said with a laugh, running back through the arena before you could say anything. You just stood there for a few more seconds, trying to recap what had just happened. You then ran back into the arena, seeking revenge... and possibly another kiss, ignoring all others around you.

"I'm still gonna get you Nate."

You muttered, a grin still present on your face as you walked deeper into the arena.
