The arcade down the hill

Chapter 2

You returned home after searching but not finding the boy that inspired you. You didn't know why he got your attention so quickly, maybe you felt something interesting about him, but there was a thing you couldn't ignore: he left you amazed. Being an art student, you found beauty in everything, so you couldn't help it and appreciate the boy's visuals. 

His body looked strong, muscles showing underneath his jeans and arms. He looked taller than you  and if you had to think of his age, it would be probably yours or a year older. But his face, oh god. His jaw was sharp, his eyes looked big and his smile was beautiful. It kind of reminded you of a bunny. You look at the draw in your hand. How can someone be so hot and cute at the same time? it's sad i couldn't take him a photo. You sat on the kitchen table and decided to draw little things that inspired you today. Once you finished, you closed the sketchbook and put your pajamas. You had dinner and plopped yourself on the bed. You were exhausted. Looking at the ceiling, you thought again about the boy's smile, finding your own mouth curving into one. Why i am thinking of him?  You hugged a pillow and yawned. Deciding to ignore your thoughts, you closed your eyes, falling asleep quickly.

Two weeks later,  you were on the arcade clicking the keyboard fast, trying to win the game on the screen in front of you. Your character was attacked and you lost.

"Oh, c'mon!" you hissed, stressed.  

You clicked on 'try again' and started a new game. You were so engrossed in it you didn't notice how someone took the seat beside you. You kept clicking furiously, trying to win this time. You were punching your enemy when suddenly you received a punch that killed you. You stared in disbelief at the screen, your vein almost popping out your neck. You hated losing.

"Are you freaking kidding me!?How the..." you huffed, scratching your neck. And you kept trying, only to lose again, and again and again... You grabbed your face with your hands, a sigh of frustration leaving your mouth while you thought  ideas about how to destroy the last enemy. You decided to try for the last time and when you were fighting the last enemy, already losing, you heard someone clearing their throat.

"Ummm... you should use your shield and then hit the z and d button at the same time..." A shy voice to your left tells you. 

You quickly do what the person told you and the move kills the bad character that was driving you insane. You break into a smile and let a little scream. You turn your head to thank the person.

Holy.Shit. 

You looked at the stranger next to your seat in surprise and shock. What are the odds?  You come back to your senses and gave a little smile to him.

"Thank you very much" You gave him thumbs up. He looks at your gesture and then, he smiles. You blushed a little.

Ah, that bunny smile again.
