My Own Purgatory(NatePat)

Chapter 11: First Date

Nate's pov

So now, what is he up to?

Just minutes earlier, I was asked out, by a guy, by Matthew Patrick. And I said yes.

Now, he took my hand, leading me to whatever he had planned. He was rambling about how happy he was and how far ahead he had planned this, but I wasn't hearing a word of it. I was too busy watching him.

Why am I acting like this, how can he make me like this? No girl could do this to me...

"Nate!"

"Huh?!... oh.. yeah?"

"You were spacing out~," he says, giggling a bit,"we're here."

Looking up, I see where he decided to take us. An arcade! I actually haven't ever been to one.

"Sooo?~" he says with an obvious glint in his eyes. He knew I'd love it.

"I love it! Can we go in!?"

Entering, I see tons of games, and I don't know where to start. At first, I was going to go to the meteor blasters game in the back, when I felt Matt grab my arm.

"Over here, I think this'll be right up your alley," he says simply, dragging me towards the Dance Dance Revolution game. With the bright colours and lights, it looked really fun... and really intimidating.

"Nononooo, I cant dance, I cant-"

"Oh come on, you cant be any worse than me. It'll be fun!"

"Oh alright," I say rolling my eyes in mock annoyance.

Short time skip

"Well how about that, Mr. 'I cant dance'. You've beat me five times now!"

"Well, yeah... I just didn't want to in public, but if you haven't noticed, I'm good at all sorts of games." I say with a fake confidence. I mean, I'm not horrible... but im not good either.

"Is that so? Okay then, lets have a bet. we compete in the game of your choice. It'll be a best three out of five. So?"

Oh crap.

"You're on. What are the stakes?"

"Well, if I win, then you're officially my boyfriend."

"And if I win?"

"You get whatever you want," he said simply. Oh really? okay..

"Then we'll be playing pac-man. Im great at that."

At that, Matt paled slightly. I smirk.. so he's no good at pac-man? This'll be a cake walk.

"Then we'll be playing pac-man. Im great at that," he said.

This is going to be easy. Im also pretty good at pac-man, too, the best actually.

I pretend to be worried, putting my acting talents to the test. And he seems to be buying it.

Nate pov

We take our places at two identical control pads and look at our screens. Matt won the first two rounds with more points than me.

Growing worried, i look over only to see a small smile brightening his face.

Maybe losing wouldn't be all that bad... No. I can't just let him win. He at least has to earn it.

With increasing determination, I dove back into the game. The next two games were won by me. With one final game left, we could both tell how desperately the other wanted to win. Nothing wrong with some friendly competition.

Time skip

Silently, we made our way to Matt's house. For pac-man, that game sure was intense. When it was over, he said we should get going, he wanted to show me something before dark. He was once again leading me by the hand, but this time, I think it was a subconscious action.

We finally get to his house, and go straight up the stairs to his room, which is actually the attic. He goes to the back of the room, opening the window to the chilly air outside. He stepped through, out onto the roof, and held his hand out to me.

Hesitantly, i took it.

It was beautiful. The sun was just setting over the trees. Looking back at Matt, I see he's sat down beside a cooler and blanket that were apparently already up here.

I take a seat beside him, watching the sunset. After a little bit, he reaches into the cooler and brings out two diet cokes, and hands one to me. Then he grabs the blanket and wraps it around both of us before leaning into me.

"So~," he whispers after a moment, "what do you want?"

"Huh?" I ask.

"You won the bet, you choose a prize... so what is it?"

"Oh! Ive decided on two things. One, you have to be my boyfriend now, officially."

The look of joy in his eyes was overwhelming. I loved it.

"And two?" he asked, with a slight yawn. He's so adorable when he's tired.

"This."

And I lean down and kiss him.
