        You had seated yourself on the couch, legs crossed, with a controller in your lap. Ava has taken most of the Daemos out of the house, leaving you with Pierce and Rhys. This meant that you would finally be able to get some time to play TABS (Totally Accurate Battle Simulator) without someone trying to destroy it.

        You were a few minutes into the game, when you felt another presence in the room. You paused your game and looked to the side, where you found Pierce silently staring at the screen.

        "What are you doing, (Y/n)?" He questioned, turning his attention to you.

        "I'm playing video games. It's like... using this-" you lift their remote to show him. "-to control something on the screen. They're really fun!"

        He nods and walks over to sit beside you. You decide that it won't do any harm if you let him watch, so you unpause your game and continue to play.

        A few more minutes pass before Pierce speaks up. "You're creating battles?"

        You nod. "That's the point of the game. Wanna try?" You hand him the controller and try to keep your explanation of the controls brief.

        He only gives you a nod and begins playing the game himself, while you watch with awe. He's really good at it already! Maybe even better than you!

       "How the heck did you catch on so fast?!" I questioned in bewilderment.

        "As a general on Daemos, I must understand how to plan out battles and the strategies of the Daemos in my battalion." He explains, not taking his eyes off the screen.

        "I-I see..." You reply not fully knowing how to respond. But then you let out a small laugh. "I think that's the most I've ever heard you say." You comment, wrapping one of your arms around his and leaning on his shoulder.

        "Yes." This, of course, only causes you to giggles more. Does he mean to be this funny?

        A few minutes pass in silence, of Pierce blasting through levels and you watching intently. You shift your head so that you're looking up at him with your head still lying on his shoulder.

        "You can do anything, can't you?"

        He smiles, slightly, looking down at you. "With you around, I suppose it feels that way."

        Your face turns bright red when you finally process his words. "N-No fair!" You say, nudging him. "Y-You can't be that smooth too!"

        He chuckles, laying his head atop yours. You two spend the rest of the day playing video games, seated close to each other.

        I can't do everything... He thinks to himself. I can't tell you everything just yet, (Y/n). But some day I'll find a way to tell you how I feel... He glances down at you, watching your eyes glow in the light of the screen. Someday you'll know how much I care for you...
