To quote Dan Cummins: "I had played like 2 straight days of Super Mario Kart, and I'm good at Super Mario Kart you guys." I too have spent several hours playing Mario Kart so prepare for a fic that probably focuses more on the actual Mario Kart than the characters or anything so enjoy
(Also it's prinxiety fluff basically so in this it's already canon? Also it's a plain Wii but it's Mario Kart 8 because I'm too lazy to explain. Idk guys it's 12:30 and I'm running on the caffeine of a bottle and a half of peach iced tea don't ask me to explain)

Roman's POV

It was 11:30 or so, and I was just starting to fall asleep when I felt a small pull that meant I was being summoned. I grumpily pushed my sleep mask up on my face and rose into Thomas's room where Logan, Patton, and Virgil were already. They looked just as tired as I was.

"Thomas, I'm very sorry, but what could you possibly want from us at this ungodly hour?"

"Well, Roman, thank you for asking. First of all, it's literally only 11:30, you should live a little bit. Secondly, I just chugged two cups of coffee so you guys should be feeling chipper in just a moment."

"Thomas, we've discussed this, it's very unhealthy, you should protect your circadian rhythm. Also, Roman is right, this is very late, and if you don't consider it as such you should change your perspective before you become practically nocturnal."

"Thank you Logan for your input. I'd consider that information if I weren't so hopped up on caffeine. Also, we're filming."

"What? We don't have scripts or anything." Virgil protested, trying to hide in his hoodie.

"Precisely. It's unscripted. What we're doing today and most likely some of what is technically considered tomorrow is... drumroll please." Patton started awkwardly mimicking a drum roll, but it didn't work very well.

"We're playing Mario Kart!" Fine. This was fine. I could stand Mario Kart.

"You know what? Let's do it. I don't think this is even the caffeine talking." I said and looked to the other sides for support.

"Yeah!" Patton cheered. Logan just shrugged.

"Sure. I mean, you'll all lose miserably, but I don't see why not." Virgil said. And with great caffeine comes little emotional control.

"You wanna fricking bet?" I felt immediately competitive. I don't care if you're my boyfriend, you're going down.

"I absolutely do, let's go." (I've been looking at tumblr for too long and now I can only see Virgil as a walking meme help)

I sat down on the couch as Thomas turned on the Wii. I guess Virgil was basically abandoning the bet because he pretty much sat down on my lap. Okay. I wrapped my arms around him to grab my controller as Thomas handed it to me.

"I love you but I'm gonna kick your ass and you know it," I whispered in Virgil's ear.

"In your dreams." Guess not.

"Come at me you little gremlin." I laughed my way through the sentence, and Virgil gave out a small chuckle too.

"Dibs on player 1!" Patton exclaimed with far more energy than seemed necessary. He turned on his controller, then Logan did the same with his, then me, then Virgil. Patton navigated to the Mario Kart icon and started it up. I rested my chin on Virgil's shoulder as the loading screen appeared.

At character select, Patton chose Toad, Logan chose Koopa for some reason, and I picked King Boo, but Virgil protested.

"Hey, I was gonna pick Boo." I deselected the character..
