Notes: This is part of the Larsadie Ficlet a Week project, started by Soggy Warm Pockets on Tumblr! You can find the other awesome entries by going to ficletaweekpc on Tumblr! Whoooo! The prompt for this week was: "In Joking Victim, Sadie tells Steven about a night she spent with Lars after she bought him a videogame. Write what you think happened that night."

"Oh, Sadie, you're the best!" Lars exclaimed as he opened the door.

"You owe me," Sadie declared as she handed over the new "Army of War" game. "That was the longest seven hours ever."

"Yeah, about that… Wanna come play?" he said. "I got oyster crackers." He smirked, knowing that that would get her, and leaned against the wall.

"Alright, sure, but only for a little while," said Sadie. "We have work tomorrow."

"Yeah, whatever," Lars drawled, and he led Sadie into his room.

"Whoa," Sadie said as she entered. "There's… a floor?!"

"Har dee har har," Lars muttered, but he did smile a little. "Anyway, it'll get messy again." He held up the giant box of oyster crackers. "So, ready, Player Two?"

Sadie grinned. "Ready."

Two hours later…

"Ugh! Why are you so good at this?!" Lars groaned and turned to look at Sadie, who had just beaten him for the nineteenth time out of twenty-four. "I give up!"

"Don't give up," Sadie encouraged, patting Lars's shoulder. "You'll get better eventually!" She yawned and flopped back on the bed. "I should probably get home."

"Come on! A little longer!" Lars didn't wait for a response, instead pressing the replay button.

She made it through another eight games, steadily getting worse and worse, before finally falling asleep midway.

"Forfeit!" Lars grinned as he won easily, before lying down next to Sadie and falling asleep himself.

Hey y'alls! Lia here! This is my first entry for the Larsadie prompt challenge created by soggywarmpockets; hoped you enjoyed! The next prompt is: "At the end of Joking Victim Sadie and Lars go off to get Lars cleaned up after the damage from the fire salt is contained. Write where they went and what they talked about."

Sounds like fun! Stay tuned to see it!

As always, love and ducks to the Lone Shippers, hugs to supporters, thanks to Eleonora, Noe, Hanul, and Kizzie, shoutouts to my chosen-sisters, rainbows to SWP and all of my fellow writers, and cookies for all!

Love,

Lia xxxx
