        "Is that a challenge~?" Leif inquired, the same usual arrogant smirk lingering on his lips. You had invited him over just in time to see you rage-quit at an especially difficult level in your VR game.

        You shrugged, the corners of your lips quirking upwards into a small smile. "Yeah, sure..." You hummed. "Beat the level, you can try..."

        The Daemos flopped down on the sofa beside you, stealing the Vr headset from you hands. "And what do I get if I do win~?"

        "Whatever you want." You knew perfectly well this would backfire incredibly if he did manage to pull through. But, if he didn't succeed, you'd get to hold it over his head in front of the others. And that was a risk that was worth taking in your eyes...

        You shifted to sit cross-legged on the couch, watching Leif put on the headset and start playing. Sometimes you forget that he's an assassin with how he acts around you. Staying on Earth was quite the risk on their part, but they seemed happy so you and Ava were happy all the same.

       You enjoyed spending time with the boys but there was something about Leif that really seemed to mess you up. You liked to pretend that you hated him every time he said something arrogant or used a flirty line on you, but you couldn't deny the butterflies you felt when he was around you. You were head-over-heels, no doubt about it. You could only hope that he truly did feel the same. You'd hate to be just some game to him...

        You should you head, trying to drown out your thoughts as your attention flickered back to Leif. "Unbelievable..." Not only was he hitting every move with perfect accuracy, but he still looked good doing it. You didn't think that was possible. Considering that Leif had been an assassin when he and the others lived back on Daemos, you couldn't say you were surprised. You'd guess that's why he had the ability to play a VR game and still look amazing and poised. Meanwhile, you looked like a crazy person any time you played VR. "This isn't fair!"

        He smirked, swiftly pausing the game and removing his headset. "Are you jealous, sweetheart~?" He hummed in response, shooting you one of his usual stupid, cocky looks... that somehow made you blush at the same time. God, you hated the way you loved him...

        You looked away from him, you cheeks tinted slightly red. "N-No..." You stuttered out, trying not to embarrass yourself too much.

        A soft, slightly seductive, chuckle slipped past his lips, a sound that only made your face burn even more. His arm hooked around your waist. You body was tense but your mind became fuzzy at his touch, and he was so close that you could feel his breath on your neck. "Y'know, I've been thinking about what I want when I win the game..." He says, quietly, his tone of voice still tugging at your heartstrings.

        "O-Okay...?" You replied, cautiously. "Wh-What is it...?"

        He leaned in, pressing a brief kiss to your collarbone, drawing a soft squeak from you lips. "I want something like this, just us... but I want it to be a date..."

        "I..." Your eyes widened at his words. "W-Wait, you do?!"

        "Uh, yeah." He said, dragging you closer to him. "I thought I was being obvious, (N/n)..."

        A short, nervous laugh escaped your lips at that. "You probably were..." You muttered. "I'm just oblivious..."

        He laughed with you, holding your smaller frame against his chest. "So...? What do you say, if I win~?" He smirked.

        "If you win, of course." You cupped his cheek with one hand, pressing a chaste kiss to his lips. "And if you don't... of course!" You smiled brightly at him, giggling at his seemingly surprised reaction.

        His surprise, however, still didn't stop him from pinning you to your couch and peppering you face with little kisses. When he pulled away, he wasn't smirking, but smiling. That adorably, breathtaking smile that you loved. You weren't his game, VR was. And he would be more than willing to prove that his love for you was real every day if he had to...
