Palms gripped tightly around the hard plastic. Fingers smashed violently into the buttons as teeth grinded together roughly. Toes curled in frustration as a grunt was made. Axel's focus was on the television screen, watching as his character repeated slammed hits into his opponent, slamming him into the ground and doing blows to his face. His health bar hung low, near death, and the fight was coming to an end soon. He snarled in aggravation as he stood from his spot on the couch, watching the clock tick down, while slammed his thumbs harder into the buttons, thinking it would help him even more. His eyes were hypnotized on his character as the red head watched his movements, continuously making him flip and jump back-n-forth across the television screen.

He was in the lead finally. His opponents' health was dropping rapidly as he did combos against him repeatedly. Oh sweet victory could be tasted on the tip of his tongue. Yes, this was going to happen. He needed this. He needed to win this fight. Emerald hues begun to widen in excitement as the last seconds started to tick away rapidly. His mouth started for form into a huge smile, only for a moment though.

His opponent managed to block an attack and strike him back. One blow. Two blows. Three blows to the face later and Axel was reading "Winner- Player 2" on his television screen.

"Fuck."

Dropping his controller to the floor, he turned to the side; wide eyes meet the devilish smirk of the red head that had been sitting on the couch next to him this whole time. He stood still for a moment, just staring at the other has he attempted to process just what had happened. His shock quickly turned into anger once seeing that smile thought.
"Asshole.
You cheated Reno. I should'a won that fight. I don't know how ya' did, but ya' cheated. Yer' ass should be the one cleanin' the bathroom." He huffed out at his roommate.

With defeat, his feet turned around on the carpet as he made his way to go gather the supplies. Axel was stuck cleaning the bathroom this time. Next time, he would be picking the game, and Reno would be the one cleaning the bathroom.

Axel wasn't going to allow Reno play the only god damn game he knew how to play next time.

Fucking Street Fighter.
