A/N Hey, so I'm back with another Neric fic! This is the 'Five Times Nell said 'I'm not jealous, Wolfram,' and the One Time He Actually Believed Her." Warning, these chapters might be a bit short, and it might take a while for me to update, because school just started back. I was debating having all the scenarios just in a one chapter format, but that would take too long, and the chapter would also be super long. I think the title is a bit self-explanatory, so I think I'll just get to it! Please let me know what you think! (Oh, same head-canon as Settling the Score)

1. Game Night

"Yes! Beat my high score again!" Eric said excitedly, waving the video-game controller in the air to emphasize his victory. Nell took a sip of her coffee and rolled her eyes. They were at Eric's place having one of their weekly 'game nights'. At this point it was around midnight, and Nell was getting real tired of Eric and his high scores. Since Eric was hosting, he got to choose the games they played and of course he chose ones he knew he could beat her at. The whole situation was infuriating.

"No one likes a braggart, computer-brain," Nell said.

"Oh, c'mon, you know you love me," Eric smiled endearingly at her, which, for some inexplicable reason, made her blush. "You're just jealous.

"I'm not jealous, Wolfram," Nell said, biting her lip and trying to concentrate on Eric's huge television.

"Yes you are. You wish you have my mad gaming skills," Eric bumped his best friend playfully, accidentally almost knocking her off the couch.

Now Nell was determined to win at something. There was no way that Eric and his 'mad gaming skills' were going to beat her. Eric won another game. Nell got another cup of coffee. Eric won another game. Nell pulled her hair up out of her face so she could see the TV better. But Eric kept winning. Then Eric made a fatal mistake. He pulled out her all-time favorite video-game.

"Oh, it's on!" Nell readjusted her position on the couch. She is Nell Jones, and Nell Jones isn't going to let a geek with glasses and an Oreo addiction make a fool out of her!

When Nell went home as the sun was coming up, she admitted to herself that she was a little jealous. She hadn't won a single game.
