005. Blankets.
"What are you up to?" Winnie asked leaning over the back of the couch.
"Just playing a video game." Jesse answered a bit distractedly.
"Are you winning?" She tried to keep her tone merely curious. It's frustrating sometimes that this is one of the things he is attracted to as the world progresses. She didn't have much interest video games, but Jesse and pretty much every other male on the planet of an applicable age to when theirs were frozen seemed to love them; the few times she'd tried to talk about it with Jesse it hadn't changed anything.
"Come watch." Jesse suggested, taking a moment to pat the couch next to him. "Then you'll know."
Winnie rolled her eyes, as if she understood the game well enough to know. Despite this she grabbed a blanket to wrap up in; she was feeling a bit chilly, and curled up beside him.
Jesse grinned at her briefly. "If you played with me, I bet we'd win every time."
"That's some nice flattery but I don't really understand video games, and I'm pretty sure you know that." Winnie answered gently.
"You could learn." Jesse points out, his attention already mostly fixed on the game again.
Winnie sighed. Some days she wondered why she wanted him forever, their interests seemed to be in flux so much of the time as the world around them changed. She wrapped the blanket more tightly around herself, trying to suppress the thought. She'd chosen jesse, there was no backing out for her now.
Listening to his fingers mash the buttons on the controller for the game, Winnie fell asleep.
