My idea of the perfect date
A/N: I thought of the plot of this story before I thought of who to use. I knew I needed a nerdy person and a video game addict. Then I thought of old shows that I loved and boom, this story was born.
It's times like these that I couldn't be happier. My boyfriend Carlos is sitting on his couch with his legs crossed while I read. How is this perfect? Because I get to sit in his lap with my legs crossed behind him reading over his shoulder while he plays videogames on the flat screen behind me.
We have been doing this for a while and found comfort in it by accident. It all started when Carlos had to go on vacation with his family for two weeks. He asked me to stay at his apartment while he was gone and watch it for him. Those two weeks were hell. I missed him like crazy and he told me what it did to him to be away from me for so long. When he got home, it was around two in the morning but I was waiting up for him while reading a book on the couch. When the door opened, I dropped my book onto the cushion and ran into his arms. He picked me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He walked over to the couch and sat down. We held each other for a while before I decided to go back to my book. After a while I gave up on reading and decided to enjoy the comfort of Carlos's embrace. After setting my book down, I realized that he was asleep. I snuggled closer and went to sleep myself.
The next morning I woke up before him and went to get a glass of milk to drink while I finished my book. When I got back to the couch, I saw a pouting Carlos sitting cross-legged staring at me. When he patted his lap, I took a sip of milk and returned to my position. A while later, I decided to go back to my book. At the same moment. I felt Carlos shifting under me and a slight pressure on the small of my back. When I heard the TV come on, I understood. We stayed in each other's embrace and did things we loved all at once. Since then, we did this at the end of every date night.
