{Author's Note: Hiya!! To sorta make up for this update being late 'cause I was sick, I went into Turbo Mode™ and so, this chapter is a little bit longer than the usual ones.
Thank you for your patience! <3
Enjoy!!}-Scourge's POV-
The second round is a little bit of a stalemate. We're just chasing each other around the board...very, very slowly. If it weren't so suspenseful, I'd probably be bored, but Shadow's really into it, his tank in hot pursuit of mine. We can only move one of our tanks at a time, though, which is kinda dumb. Although the original technology probably couldn't process something like having more than two moving pieces at once.
"Y'know," Shadow suddenly says with a smirk, "I like to imagine the two tanks we're not using are just sitting there, watching all this unfold, like assholes."
I bark out a laugh, picturing two soldiers in different tanks, twiddling their thumbs and checking Twitter with gunfire and the rumble of tank engines in the background. "That is absolutely what's happening." I try to swerve to the side as he tests out the range of his guns again; I'm still a decent bit too far away. My eyes skate over to him when he offers no commentary; he isn't even looking at me, eyes glued to the game and leaning forward, determined. I smirk, and shuffle closer to him. He's fixated on trying to make his tank cooperate, biting his lip with one fang as he stares intently at the screen, completely oblivious to me as I snake an arm around him, under his arm, setting down my controller with the other. He starts, glancing down at my hand in his chest fluff briefly, but too focused on the game to do anything. I grin wider, pressing myself to his side and kissing his neck gently.
Immediately he freezes, almost dropping the controller in surprise, and I move up, kissing his reddening cheek as he turns his attention to me, finally. "Wh-What are you...?" He trails off, eyes locked to mine, and I surreptitiously start to try and steer my tank around while not looking at the screen.
"Gimme attention," I purr, leaning into him, and he seems almost captivated, eyes wide, ears angled towards me; he turns his head a bit, almost hesitantly. I lift the hand tangled in his fluff, gently tracing it across his muzzle. In the corner of my eye, I think I see my tank moving closer to his; he has completely abandoned the game, entirely focused on me, and I smirk, eyes half-lidded.
"G-Gladly," he stammers, and I lean in to kiss him. He closes his eyes, and I take this opportunity to glance off to my left, trying to steer my tank towards his with one hand. I'm close, but not close enough to hit him if I took a shot...and besides, I'm enjoying this moment. He tilts his head, deepening the kiss, and I push my tank just a little bit closer then let my finger rest on the button I think might fire a cannonball; I close my eyes as well now, amused. To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure that this would work—he seemed so focused on the game, I was sure he'd just shrug me off and insist on finishing the game first—and now I feel powerful as hell. He practically dropped the controller, immediately forgetting about the game, just because I snuggled up close to him and started kissing him. The thought makes my heart flutter, and I almost feel bad about using it to my advantage. Almost.
He pulls away for some air, face bright red, and I smile at him. "Guess what?" I whisper sweetly, and Shadow blinks at me, seeming almost dazed.
"What?" He asks breathlessly, and my grin widens.
"I win." I press the button and his tank detonates; he whips around, astonished, and stares at the screen for a minute before turning back to me with a shocked and mildly angry expression.
