Larry X Competitive! Reader

Readers POV

"LARRY!!" I shouted at the turquoise hair koopa. In that brief moment, Larry jumped off from his seat, and slowly cracked his head around to meet my icy cold stare. From his expression, I could tell already he was a nervous wreck. "Yes, Y/n?" Larry asked, a face of worry that something went horribly wrong. "You know what you did! You camped the flag and basically dared me to move!" I yell, talking about the game we were playing on the big flat screen TV together.

Larry's face went from worry to smug within seconds, and then he crossed his arms in triumph. "I'm just that good, Y/n. Maybe you should try playing better" Larry said poking me in the forehead, pushing it a tad as I scoffed. "Have it your way then!" I say, grabbing the controller off the floor, and preparing for another round of Call of Duty, capture the flag. In between us was a bag of chips while scattered around the room were various other games that we've competed in.

During the game, I was doing well securing flag A that was right beside my base where my team was hanging out for the most part. An open line of fire was just between flag A and C, in the middle was flag B, no one making a move to get it, either being shot down or blown to bits from a trap. Since I was good at close up attacks, I took the long way around to flag B, and snuck behind the opposing team. Just when I was about to get rid of one guy with a knife, I die.

There in plain sight, a machine gun was prepped up, aiming at my team who was all down, flag A being taken, the time running out, and Larry's team winning once again. "Beat ya...again" Larry said, stuffing his mouth with chips. "What's that? I can't hear you?" I said holding my hand near my ear to better listen over his loud chewing. Larry finished his chewing, and quickly stole a kiss on my cheek when I had least expected it. "Why'd you do that?" I asked bemused. Larry kept a big grin on his face, as if planning some scheme for when we start another round on our game.

"What, you didn't like it?~" Larry joked, sticking his tongue out at me. I stuck out my tongue in response, averting my attention to the screen, the mode changing every round we play, only for me to realize how bad I was against Larry who only ever plays videogames or plays sports like Tennis because my god he was good at it! "Give up yet?" Larry asked, my hands shaking and sweating from all the previous rounds of this video game we've had, me being one point short.

"Me? Give up? Never" I brushed off, giving half a smirk before looking back at Larry who still had his smug grin practically eating away at my soul, the very reason for me to keep playing this game. "Why? I basically beat you. You trying to even out the odds?" Larry said feeding himself some more chips. "If I win this round, it should count as two points, me being ahead of you. If I lose, the two go to you, and you secure your win streak" I said, Larry's attention perked up.

He gave a small hum to himself, possibly thinking about the deal I've struck. After a good couple of seconds, he agreed and shook my hand, the both of us not taking a single second to look away from the screen or adjust ourselves, not even for a single snack we had lying around us. This round was all about killing the other team as many times, and confirming the kill collecting their tags. Being the lil' sneaky I am, I camped the outside terrain with my sniper, and hoped my team would go and collect the remains. The whole game, I haven't seen Larry at all, me nervous.

"Time's running out, you'll need 3 more people to kill, Y/n" Larry noted, the timer showing 20 available seconds. Times ticking, and everyone went rampage on screen, a bunch of people killing quick to at least even out the scores. 3...I shot one person who was going to ambush a team member...2....I shot another dude who saw me from across an open window...1...within the last second a bomb went off, startling me which caused me to drop a grenade, killing someone.

Once the time ended, my side of the screen showed that I emerged victorious! I jumped up in excitement, hopping around in joy. Larry seemed purely shocked that I actually managed to beat him this time, but he also seemed shocked for another reason. "Larry, you okay?" I asked, him turning my head to look at the screen. It was a replay of the final kill. It was me killing the ambush guy, the other sniper, and....LARRY! "Ha! I even killed you too, bonus!" I cheered.

He gave a small applaud, staring me down with a villainous look. "What? You want a rematch?~" I toyed with him, Larry immediately attacking me with tickles and other various tricks to make me laugh or shriek. "That's what you get for being cocky and rubbing it in!" Larry said sitting back down criss cross on the couch. I sat up, shifting closer to Larry so we were touching arms. " You weren't bad though, I'll have to admit that" Larry said sticking out his tongue once more.

Rather than returning the favor, I stole a quick kiss before looking back at the TV. "So...what game do you wanna play next?" I asked, trying to avoid Larry's gaze. Without looking, I could already tell that he had a smirk on his face, just watching me fumble over my words, try covering over the action I've made. We played more games until falling asleep on the couch, cuddling in each others' arms. We didn't mind falling asleep on the couch, as long as it was together.
