Mike's pov

My hands are glued to my ps4 controller, my eyes unable to leave the screen. Eleven would be here soon, bit, I didn't want to stop playing.

I heard a knock on the door, meaning it's El, luckily the last round had ended, so I went down stairs and opened the door.

"Hi, baby," I said bringing her in for a hug.

"Hi," She smiled shyly. I led her up my room upstairs, only to be greeted with an invitation from Caleb to play another round.

"Mind if I do this real quick?" I asked, El.

"No, go ahead, it won't be long, will it?"

"Only a few minutes, just one round," I replied.

Three rounds later...

I once again couldn't stop playing, my mind racing with what to do next, Gaten had joined our rounds.

El's pov

It had been thirty minutes and he was still playing Modern Warfare. I sighed, annoyed. He'd never done this, then again, he didn't get a console very long ago.

He'd only been playing for a few days now, and he never usually ignored me.

I tapped his shoulder gently, only for no response.

"Mike," I mumbled. He turned slightly to me for a second but then turned back to the game.

"Mike!" I yelled, he jumped slightly and looked at me. He looked slightly annoyed, which made my eyes soften in a bit of sadness.

"Hey guys, I have to go. Talk to you later, guys," He said calmly. He shut the console off and angrily took his headset off, throwing it to the ground.

"Dammit, El, what do you want!?" My eyes widened in shock, I was scared. Whatever someone yelled at me or was even mad, I got a bit scared, especially when it was someone I cared about.

"M-Mike, I just wanted, I, I don't know I, I want to talk and cuddle, not watch you play a game the whole time, you said one round and it's been three. You said only a few minutes but it's like ten minutes each," I mumbled a bit sad.

His eyes narrowed at me, but slowly softened. He sighed and sat by me.

"I'm sorry," He said,"I just got distracted, I'm really sorry for ignoring you and yelling at you."

"It's okay, just not again, okay?" He nodded in response.

I smiled and cuddled him up in my arms, he was a bit sad, mainly because he was really sorry he yelled at me, he knows how much I hate it.

It was a few days later and the video game thing was over, it hadn't happened again. I was coming over again, and I was excited as normal.

Butterflies arrived in my stomach as I knocked on the door. He opened the door and kissed me slowly.

After I got upstairs we cuddled a bit but he seemed bored and went on an app. I looked at it, people lip syncing to stuff. Some of if was funny and some was stupid.

I nudged his shoulder, wanting a kiss. He didn't even turn his head.

"Babbbbeeee," I whined, he looked at me for a second. I huffed, this was like last time.

"Babe!" He looks at me a little surprised at my sudden outburst. I crossed my arms and huffed again.

"Yes, baby?" He said turning off his phone and putting it behind him.

"You weren't paying attention to me, you were paying attention to the things you were watching."

"Sorry, they're funny and some are cool," He stated.

"Here watch some with me," Mike offered. I huffed again.

"I don't want to, I wanna cuddle," My voice was unintentionally a bit firm. He smiled a bit and just nodded, cuddling me.

It was a few days later and he still ignored me for video games or that stupid lip syncing app thing. I was about done

We were on a call and having a good time.

"Hey, uhm, I think I'm gonna go," Mike says on the other line.

"What? Why?" I ask sadly.

"There's dialogue in the cut scene and it's important," He said simply. I rolled my eyes in annoyance.

"Come on, Mike, why can't you do that when we aren't on the phone," I asked getting mad.

"I'm sorry, I love you, bye."

"No!" I yelled.

"What?"

"Come on, Mike, please, do it later," My words came out a bit slurred from slight crying.

"Buh bye, baby, talk to you later," He said and hung up. I started crying a bit, annoyed and frustrated.

I decided I'd call him back and really give it to him, he answered a bit confused and annoyed.

"Yes?" He asked simply.

"Okay, listen, you've been leaving me for video games so much and whenever we're together you ignore me for watching YouTube or the other app, it's so annoying and I'm not going to deal with it!" I yelled all at once, still crying.

"Baby, I," He hesitated, obviously not expecting such a response.

"I'm so sorry, you're right, I won't do that, I'm sorry, I just get distracted a lot and super easily," I said sincerely.

"Uh huh," I said,"you better not do it again."

"I won't." I nodded.

"Okay, talk to you later."

"Yep!" And I hung up. I never usually hung up first, but, it's whatever.

Mike's pov

I headed to the store to buy some roses. I was at El's house when I started ignoring her again, I got distracted and forgot. She kicked me out.

I rolled up to the store and walked in. I bought brownies, roses, and some M&M's. I decided that that would be good and rode off.

When I got there I knocked our special knock on the door. No answer.

"Babe! I'm sorry! Please, let me in!" I yelled so she'd hear me.

"What?" She said flatly as she opened the door. I pulled the roses in front of me with the chocolate.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to I swear, you can hit me next time I do it, I promise," I said. Her eyes lit up a bit.

She gently took the roses and chocolate, leading me inside. She filled a clear blue vase with water and set the roses in it, then putting it in her room on her nightstand.

I sat on her bed and she did too, opening the box of M&M's. She stopped a second, then dropped them, and hugged me.

"It's okay," She said. I smiled and hugged her back.

"And I will hit you next time," She retorted seriously. I chuckled nervously and grabbed her waist again, kissing her softly.
